RIVAL PARTY LEADERS AGREE
ONABROGATION OF JAP PACT
WASHINGTON, Aug. 4—(PP)— President Roosevelt’s program for the
greatest expansion of American defenses since World war days was en-
* acted by the congress now nearing adjournment, but leaders regarded
ruefully today the unsolved questions of foreign policy which will confront
them in January. /
The dozen or so principal enactments of this session dealing directly
with foreign affairs involved no decision on the basic questions dividing
congress and the president:
How far should the government go in protecting American- inter-
ests abroad and in cooperating with other nations in seeking to safe-
guard world peace? Should the sale of arms to warring nations be
permitted?
An exception to the foreign policy discord was the sign of agreement
among some leaders of both parties on the administration’s sudden and
unexpected notice cancelling the 1919 commercial treaty with Japan.
This action clears the way for congressional debate on an embargo

materials aiding that nation in its
undeclared war on China.
Thus, unless a European explosion
should bring a call for a special
session in the meantime, congress in
January will face the two momen-
tous issues of the Japanese embargo
and revision of the neutrality law
From leading senators of both
parties Mr. Roosevelt has extracted
the promise neutrality "legislation

lations committee and take its place
among the very first subjects de-

The committee declined to send
the legislation to the senate floor
this year after the house defied ad-
ministration wishes and retained a
modified embargo against the sale
of arms to warring nations.
The warm reception given the

military reinforcements:

A trebled army air force of 5,500

continent, on offshorefislands, and
in Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico and
in the canal zone; more than a
score new warships, including two
45,000 ton battleships that may be
the world’s largest.
Other arms reinforcements include
measures to strengthen the Panama
canal, to train 95,000 college youths
as air pilots within the next five
years, and to start acquisition of a
reserve stock of imported minerals
and other materials vital in war-
time.
A measure was approved only yes-

between house and senate versions

combination of efforts for complete
child development and the teacher
must fit his teaching to the indi-
vidual child in his steps of develop-
ment, he declared.
Nutritional problems, physical
handicaps, and emotional residue
are among present day health haz-
ards affecting learning, Dr. Cole-
man said.
Dr. D. B Harmon, consultant in
mental health education of the state
department of health, said in Texas
alone 225,000 school children were
so maladjusted as to be either re-
tarded up to as much as seven years
or else completely eliminated from
the school system.
This is largely due to the fact
that the average teacher does not
know enough about what is going
on inside the child, he added.

Airport Weather
Bureau Returning
To Big Spring
BIG SPRING. Aug 4—(SpD)—Re-
storation of an airport weather bu-
reau after 4 years was announced
here today.
City officials were notified of an
order to establish a weather bureau
at the airport as soon as lease de-
tails can be consummated. A sim-
ilar bureau was maintained Here
prior to 1935 when the economy act
resulted in abandonment of the
service at this point.
H. P. Adams, Fort Worth, metero-
logist, said that the station should
be in operation on or soon after
Oct. 1. It will not result in any cur-
tailment of the department of com-
merce weather bureau which has
been making airways observations
here for the past six years. About
five men will be required to staff
the station.

Only a Crop Failure
AUSTIN. Aug. 4_— (A) — Once
thought they might contribute
$13,000,000 to the deficit-ridden
general, revenue fund, state in-
heritance taxes on the Col EHR
Green estate will place only 8540
to the treasury. Comptroller George
H. Sheppard said today.
A lengthy legal battle by former
attorney general William McCraw
failed to establish Texas’ claim to
the U. S. supreme court that the
eccentric* multi-millionaire’s legal
residence was in this state, at Ter-
rell.
Sheppard said the federal estate
tax examiner, while evaluating
Green’s entire holdings at $37,327,-
084, valued the deceased’s Texas
real estate at $3,710.
State inheritance tax laws, Shep-
pard explained, provided the tax
should be 80 percent of the levy
determined by federal officials He
said the federal tax on Green’s
Texas holdings figured $675.

65 Blocks Now
Paved in Snyder
SNYDER, Aug. 4—<Spl>—Comple-
tion of a new street paving program
to Snyder gives the city approxi-
mately 65 blocks of ravement-
probably more blocks of paving than
is found in any city Snyder’s size to
Texas, J. O. Jones of Lubbock, WPA
admisistrative officer, said Friday.
Total cost to the city of the entire
paving program, started under WPA
sponsorship in December, 1935, was
$27,670.40. This amount includes the
two bridges constructed at the
northwest and southwest corners of
Snyder school grounds, and the con-
crete dip at the northeast corner of
the school campus.
First street on which paving base
was laid under the program Jointly
sponsored by WPA and the city was
26th Street, from the square to
Snyder General hospital.
Approximately 31200 feet of curb-
ing and gutter have been laid during
the paving program that has lasted
almost four years. Total curbing and
gutter costs to the taxpayers
amounted to slightly less than $7,-
000, .
Paving costs per block have been
so low city officials from a number
of West Texas cities have made in-
spection tours of Snyder’s project
Last paving to be laid was four and
a half blocks recently completed by
a crew of 30 WPA employees.

COLLEGE STATION, Aug. 4.—
(PP)—Texas farmers’ should abandon

crops, Dean E J. Kyle of A & M
college said here last night.
"We have in South and West
Texas the greatest livestock nursery
grounds in the world," Dean Kyle
told the annual banquet of Farm
Security administration workers.
"Most of our state can produce
hay, grain and sorghums in abund-
ance.” he said, adding that Fort
Worth has one of the nation’s best
livestock markets.
Dean Kyle also advocated crop
rotation, terracing and plowing un-
der green crops as the only means
of increasing land fertility.

production from 210 pounds an acre
to 145 pounds an' acre during the
last decade, he said "It will take
fifty years to regain, the loss of our
soil.”.

Multiple Calamities
Befall Coloradoans
COLORADO CITY. Aug 4— (Spl )
—The old saying that troubles never
come singly has applied in the case
of the R S Brennand S-r., family of
Colorado City. And they all came in
the month of July.
When Robert S Brennand, Jr .
of Midland, scout for the Standard
Oil company, suffered a twice-
broken knee cap in a highway crash
west of Big Spring Monday night, it
was the third time within a month
that sickness or mishaps had sent a
member of the Brennand family
to a hospital.
Mrs Brennand went to a Colorado
City hospital for surgery early in
July Before she had fully recovered,
Mr Brennand, Sr., pioneer stock-
man and former Colorado City post-
master, slipped on the back door-
steps at his home on July 21 and
broke his hip. He is now in a cast
in a Dallas hospital.
