Jr ASSOCIATION
GENERAL HOUSTON’S
OLD CHURCH IS GIVEN
NEW ROCK BELFRY
Brenham, Texas, Aug. 11.—A home-
coming celebration at Independence
attracted a crowd of 1000 Sunday for
the twelfth annual meeting of the In-
dependence Home-Coming Association
at the historic old Baptist Church
where Gen. Sam Houston once wor-
shipped.
Practically all sections of Texas
were represented in the throng of
former residents of Independence,
former students of Baylor Univer-
sity, and others interested in the
shrine of Texas history,
v The Rev. George N. Cook, pastor
of the First Baptist Church of Bren-
ham and president of the association,
served as master of ceremonies and
had charge cf arrangements. At a
business session it was decided to
make needed improvements and re-
pairs to the church and grounds dur-
ing the coming year.
Officers were elected as follows:
Gus A. Newman of Houston, presi-
dent; Mr. Cook, vice president; Rob-
ertson Blue of Independence, secre-
tary, and C. L. Wilkins of Brenham,
treasurer.
The high light of the ceremonies
was dedication of a new rock belfry
to house the old bell given to the
church in 1850 by Mrs. Nancy Lea,
mother of Gen. Sam Houston’s wife.
The dedicatory address was made by
Judge R. J. Alexander of Caldwell.
Temple H. Morrow of Dallas acted
as master of ceremonies for the cor-
nei’stone laying and dedication of the
belfry. A song and devotional ser-
vice, historical sketches and a mem-
orial service conducted by the Rev.
D. R. Peveto of Houston completed
the program.
ROOSEVELT TO ANSWER
REQUESTS OF HOOVER
Washington, Aug. 12.—An early
statement by President Roosevelt on
how he feels on the chief issues be-
fore the country, including possible
constitutional changes, was predict-
ed Monday by inner administration
circles.
While the capital speculated over
whether Herbert Hoover is after the
republican presidential nomination,
friends of the president said he might
be expected to discuss constitutional
changes as well as a wide variety
of other questions in speeches during
the western trip he will make after
congress adjourns.
The demand by the former presi-
dent for a declaration of administra-
tion intentions toward the constitu-
tion set up a flurry of guessing in
Washington comparable in some ways
with the 1927 “I do not choose to run”
?t"J-mmnt hv Calvin Coolidge.
Many called his statement direct
bin ror tne nomination, others said
he simply was voicing his dislike for
the new deal and that a desire for
the presidential nomination did not
inspire his statement.
Meanwhile other political develop-
ments of the day included:
A prominent republican, declining
:o permit the use of his name,' con-
;ended that there was no doubt Sen-
ator Borah of Idaho had a sharp edge
on all other republican presidential
possibilities as far as primaries were
concerned, but that control of the
party was in the hands of conserva-
tives and he could not obtain the
nomination.
Republicans demanded a special
election to fill the vacancy caused by
the death of Representative Truax
(Dem.), Ohio. Truax was a member
at large and the election would give
a state-wide test of the new deal.
George Bender, an unsuccessful can-
didate for the republican nomina-
tion for the seat in 1934, said he
would take the matter to court if
Governor Davey did not ball the
election. Davey, a democrat, said he
still was undecided.
Hoover, apparently unmindful of
the stir his statement had caused,
arrived in New York for an insur-
ance meeting, refusing to ta]k poli-
tics. He issued the statement in
Chicago Sunday.
Most of the Washington comment
concerned itself with whether he was
a candidate for the nomination, but
one man, long prominent in republi-
can councils, expressed this view:
“I do not believe Hoover is after
the nomination. I think he wants to
dominate the convention. I believe

again.
For 15 years—through the zenith
of her brilliant opera career—the diva
gave the world sweet music from a
throat half blocked by goitre.
By sheer will power, she forced her
beautiful notes on a devious detour
through her windpipe.
Today, the tumor—“potato” she
called it—was gone. Her throat was
cleared of its old problem, and filled
■with a new.
' The successful operation that re-
moved the six and & quarter ounce
obstruction Saturday doubled the
amount of air her trachea can hold.
.She must now accustom herself to
control the increased volume so she
can produce the same clear tones.
* The “re-learning” lessons begin to-
morrow in Henrotin hospital, where
the singer was resting comfortably
today.
] Her surgeon. Dr. Arnold Kegel,
said “no complications had develop-
ed.”
Single notes and simple scales will
adjust the disturbed throat muscles
before more difficult exercises begin.
That will be af^er all danger of les-
ions has been passed.
CONVICT SLAIN ON TEXAS FARM
Angleton, Aug. 12.—Tom Larry,
24, Harrison County convict, was
slain and two other prisoners on the
Retrieve Prison Farm for incorri-
gibles were recaptured after a break
at the farm today.
Larry, the leader m the break from
a squad of cross-tie cutters, was shot
to death by Dog' Sergo-env Jack Mar-
shall, who tracked down the trio of
escaping felons after the men had to
elude Guard G. M. Poole in a break
from a squad of 24 men.
Surprising Larry as he dodged
among the timber in the Brazos river
bottoms, Sergeant Marshall,,riding at
the heels of a pack of bloodhounds,
called to Larry to halt.
“I’m not going to stop,” Larry call-
ed back to the sergeant and plunged
toward some underbrush.
Marshall said he fired one shot
from his pistol and Larry fell for-
ward.
“I did not intend to kill him and
aimed to shoot above his head,” Mar-
shall told Capt. Ike Kelly, farm man-
ager.
porters will go home satisfied with
the show, saying: ‘Well, we did the
best we could’.”
The nearest thing to a reply to the
Hoover statement from democratic
sources was from the senate ma-
jority leader, Robinson of Arkansas:
“Roosevelt objectives have been
clear from the beginning. One has
been to overcome the drastic effects
of the Hoover policies; another to
improve permanently living conditions
and opportunities for the people gen-
erally.”
Other comment was:
Treadway (Rep.), Massachusetts:
Half the people are against the new
deal and they aren’t all candidates.
Hutson (Rep.), Minneapolis: Hoo-
ver would render no greater service
to the country than to announce that
he will not be a candidate.
Rich (Rep.), Pennsylvania: Hoover
is right; the country should know.
Woodruff (Rep.), Michigan: It is
a very timely suggestion.
Thompson (Dem.), Illinois: I am
still for a constitutional government,
but that Hoover statement certainly
smacked of politics.
Boileu (Prog.), Wisconsin: I don’t
think there is any reason for us to
expect the president to tell what con-
stitutional changes he has in mind,
if any, until he is ready to make
them. • W
Senator Wheeler (Dem.), Montana:
The democrats would like nothing
better than to have Hoover nomin-
ated. ' : :i * ,
Senator Norris (Rep.), Nebraska: I
don’t know why we should demand
that the president set forth his pro-
posals for changing the constitution
before congress adjourns.
Senator Borah (Rep.), Idaho, to
whom Robert H. Lucas, former ex-
ecutive director of the republican na-
tional committee, said was shown by
a poll of party leaders to be favored
for the nomination, declined to com-
ment. The Lucas poll put Col. Frank
P Knox, the Chicago publisher, sec-
ond.
Lucas said the poll was taken sim-
ply for his own information .and to
provide republicans with a knowledge
of the views of their party workers.
New York, Aug. 11.—Alfred P.
Sloan Jr., president of General Mo-
tars Corporation, in his quarterly re-
port to stockholders announced Sun-
day a $50,000,000 expansion program
of plant facilities to increase pro-
duction of automobiles.
Sloan cited an improved trend of
business both in the United States
and abroad and said the corporation
was encouraged in the more assured
outlook for profitable development.
“When completed there will result
^n increase in the production facili-
ties of General Motors cars, a do-
mestic-ally manufactured—Chevrolet,
Pontiac and Oldsmobile in particular,”
Sloan said. “The capacity of the
corporation’s manufacturing plants
overseas, both in England and Ger-
many, also will be importantly in-
creased, as the capacity of those
plants is inadequate to meet the de-
mand.
“There is involved in the program,
domestically, a broadening of the cor-
poration’s policy of decentralization
of manufacturing operations.
“While there will be a limited
amount of building construction, the
greater part of the program involves
the purchase of machinery and other
plant equipment directly involved in
production.
“It will be recognized that this pro-
gram will make a contribution to em-
ployment, as affecting the capital
goods industries, and many communi-
ties in which General Motors operates
should ultimately benefit by the in-
creased employment in prospect.”
While Sloan gave no further de-
tails in his report to stockholders,
the program includes expansion of
facilities of the Pontiac Fisher Plant
at Pontiac, Mich.; Electro-Motive Cor-
poration, McCook, 111.; Allison Engi-
neering Corporation, Indianapolis;
Fisher Body Plant, Memphis; and the
Olds Development at Lansing, Mich.,
in connection with acquisition of the
Durant plant.
A large portion of the expenditures
will be for new machinery, tools and
dies.
It was pointed out in the report
that net dollar sales in the first six
months of this year. increased 14.5
per cent over the same period of
1934, and the current total represents
the best showing since the first half
of 1929.
ALASKAN COLONY
FLOURISHING SINCE
MOST OF MISFITS GONE
Palmer, Alaska, Aug. 12.—Uncle
Sam’s Alaskan colony is “over the
hump” with about all of the misfits
gone, Lieut. Col. L. P. Hunt, direc-
tor, said Monday.
“All of the Matanuska Valley colo-
nists and their livestock will be shel-
tered before winter,” he added.
“A hospital, schools and all other
essentials will be provided, the dis-
content among, the settlers has dis-
appeared and harmony has been es-
tablished.”
He was asked about the colonists
who have left the valley, discontent-
ed, numbering about 15 per cent of
those who came north.
“A few more may leave,” he said,
“but even at that it is not such a
bad percentage. The number remain-
ing will compare very favorably with
any pioneering project.”
Congressman C. Elmer Dibtrich of
Pennsylvania, a member of the house
territories committee, who has been
here on a visit of inspection, said he
“never saw a more abundant crop of
oats nor such a prolific farm area.
Those oats are better than I can grow
on my own farm in Pennsylvania.”

(From State Health Dept.)
•In view of the fact that Governor
Allred has proclaimed the week be-
ginning August 12 as Dairy Week,
Dr. John W. Brown, State health of-
ficer, urges with this more exten-
sive use of milk, that both producer
and consumer be concerned as to its
equality. The use of clean safe milk
is a health measure.
Local interest in improved methods
of producing wholesome milk has in-
creased greatly in the past two de-
cades and the striking advance in
milk control has been responsible for
the enormous saving in infant life.
Milk is perishable and especially
during hot weather. To insure milk
of good quality requires cleanliness,
sterile utensils, protection against
flies, careful bottling and mainten-
ance at low temperature. The pres-
ence in fresh milk of large numbers
of bacteria, due to unsanitary methods
of production, is a health hazard.
Two eight year oM boys, Carl
Kirschvink of Lampasas and Louis
Ligon of Adamsville, had their ton-
sils removed at the local hospital
Tuesday morning.

® One of the many reasons why so many
women prefer the Maytag is because it
keeps the clothes at home. They are not
exposed to dangerous contacts. They are
washed more carefully than by,hand, yet
with cleanliness, ease and rapidity.
The Maytag invites comparison. Meehan- /

Austin, Aug. 12.—A commission
appointed by Governor Allred Mon-
day placed responsibility for the
Dallas garment workers strike on
the manufacturers.
A tentative report to the gover-
nor and the legislature, the commis-
sion held the mr.r.xfacturers were
responsible because of “refusal to
recognize the International Ladies
Garment Workers Union, the denial
of their right of collective bargain-
ing,” and the “manufacturers’ mem-
bership in and adherence to the prin-
ciples of the Dallas Open Shop Asso-
ciation.”
The committee was composed of
Everett L. Looney of Austin, chair-
man; Mrs. Martin Wright of San An-
tonio, Dr. William States Jacobs,
Houston, and George W. Fisher of
Fort Worth. Clarence R. Miller of
Dallas was absent because of illness.
A statement by Looney said the
commission would recommend:
Curbing the injunctive power of J
the courts in labor disputes.
Reduction of maximum hours of
labor for women.
Constructive labor legislation, in-
cluding a law similar to the Wagner
labor bill.
Such a law would be “calculated
to guarantee to the workman the
right to be a member and partici-
pate in the affairs of a union of his
own choosing and the right of col-
lective bargaining.
The commission declared for pre-
vailing wages on all public works
and requested the attorney general
to investigate the Dallas Open Shol
Association, bringing suit for its dU
solution “if sufficient legal ground
are found.”
“The strike can never be settled b|
this commission or any one else si
long as the employers refuse to req
ognize the union and the right
collective bargaining,” Looney sa'rj
“The manufacturers have refuse
to submit the matter to arbitratiol
as proposed by the garment worker!
A continuation of the strike will
the responsibility of the employer
and not the workers.”
Governor Allred withheld commer
on the recommendations pending
detailed study of the completed rJ
port, but said he “certainly woul]
favor any legislation to guarantee
workers the right to participate i|
unions of their own choosing.”
