Claims Track Removal
Won’t Cost Taxpayers;
Urges Heavy Vote
Present City Council members
broke their campaign silence to-
day by defending their record on
major issues raised by political
foes seeking support in tomorrow's
municipal election. 1
In a statement signed by all of
the nine incumbents, the Council
sought to explain its stand on
street car track removal, nickel
bus fares, and delinquent tax ad-
justments.
Urge Big Vote
The statement came as the
Council Re-Election Committee
rallied its forces in a city-wide
drive to urge a heavy turnout of
voters. It followed an emphatic
repudiation on the part of four
incumbents and the Karl Crowley
group concerning the’ reported
move to elect a fusion ticket fa-
vorable to the retention of D..L.
Lewis as city manager.
Refuting claims of the opposi-
tion that the $618,000 rail removal
project has been saddled on. the

oilmen declared that "the removal

By United Press.
AUSTIN, April 3. Speaker R.
Emmett Morse announced that the
on Mondays and Tuesdays, and
water work will be a T. C. U.’s
Fridays.
The Texas State Network
today offered two 15-minute
broadcasting periods weekly
to Texas legislators desir-
ous of speaking on “prob-
lems pertinent to state af-
fairs.”
The offer was made to
Speaker Emmett Morse of
the House in a telegram
from Elliott Roosevelt, pres-
ident of TSN. Several rep-
resentatives recently had
announced their intention of
asking that they be allowed
time to speak in answer to
| the regular Sunday morning
“chats” of Governor O'Dan-
| tel.
The telegram to Speaker
Morse said:
"The Texas State Network
is establishing a legislative
, forum_on a two-time per
week quarter-hour schedule.
This allotted time is open to
legislators and state officials
for discussion of problems
pertinent to state affairs. In-
quiries from legislators and
officials are invited cordially
and free time will be grant-
ed subject to regular legal
approval of the proposed
talk. This move means to
clarify the business of Tex-
and France to go through with
military guarantees that will
maintain "our independence and
that of all states which might be
threatened by aggression."

Rumania has been given similar
offers which Paris official sources
reported she had accepted. Nego-
tiations are under way with other
powers in the face of Hitler’s
declaration on Saturday that Ger-
many would fight any attempt at
"encirclement."
That word was taken up by
Chamberlain in a fervent expres-
sion of hope that the chain of alli-
ances being built up by Britain
may never be called into play and
that war may be avoided.
“It is fantastic,” he said, "to
suggest this policy, which is a
policy of self defense, should be
