PRE&S
A MEMORABLE CONGRESS
(Dallas News)
When the record of the special ses-
sion of the Seventy-Third congress
is studied, the outstanding achieve-
ment is its accomplishment of plat-
form promises. For almost the first
&Eme in the history of the American
government, a party given control of
fioth the presidency and the two leg-
islative houses, has within a few
inonths of taking office enacted most
the measures which in seeking
election it had pledged. The only
'important planks in the Roosevelt
platform that remain for future dis-
position are tariff revision and the
•Complete reorganization of the gov-
ernment structure.
The Nation is aware of how much
lias been accomplished at the special
session. The driving force in the
"White House has supplied leadership
jgtnd exercised it. But, says the presi-
dent’s congratulatory message, con-
gress is entitled to national appre-
ciation for its co-operation. That has
®iot ahva; a been given willingly. The
senate, for instance, accepted the vet-
eran compensation compromise large-
ly in fear of the voice over the micro-

do some browbeating and the presi-
dent has been as ready to cajole as j enormous ,and this loss can be saved
of the First National.
“There is no doubt,” says a state-
ment, “but that Temple will have a
new bank soon.”
An appeal to unsecured depositors
to execute their waivers was made by
the committee through H. C. Surgh-
nor, assistant conservator. An effort
will be made to get all waivers in
Monday and Tuesday.
Plans for organizing the new bank
are nearing completion. The state-
ment follows:
“Much progress has been made dur-
ing the week that has just closed in
organizing a new bank to take over
the assets of the First National Bank.
“Practically all of the stock has
been. subscribed and subscriptions for
the balance promised. The unsecured
depositors, however, have been very
slow in executing waivers, and there
are many yet to be obtained.
“There is no doubt but that Tem-
ple will have a new bank soon, and
the only question is whether or not
this new bank will be organized in-
dependently of the assets of the old
bank, or whether it will take over
the assets of the old bank, and this
depends upon how rapidly those who
have not executed the waivers get
them in.
“The committee can not delay the
matter much longer, and if the bank
to be organized does not take over
the assets of the old bank then it
will be due to the failure on the part
of the unsecured depositors to co-
operate in the execution of the waiv-
ers.
“Therefore, all unsecured depositors
who have not heretofore signed waiv-
ers are urged to do so Monday and
Tuesday of next week. If the affairs
of the old bank go into liquidation

. STATE OF TEXAS:
County of Lampasas.
nTg all persons indebted to or hold-
ing claims against the estate of Julia
Bean, deceased.
Having been duly appointed execu-
jfcor of the estate of Julia Bean, de-
ceased, late of Lampasas County,
“Texas, by the Judge of the County
Court of said County on the 5th day
of June, 1933, during the regular
term thereof, I hereby notify all per-
sons indebted to said estate to come
forward and make settlement, and all
those having claims against said es-
tate to present them to me within
the time prescribed by law at my
place of business in Lampasas Coun-
ty, Texas.
J. R. Key, Executor, Estate of
.Julia Bean, deceased. (w38)
It is no com-
fortable status, but he has sought it
beyond the possibility of avoiding
responsibility now. The only salva-
tion for him in case of failure is for
the supreme court to be the oscasion
for that failure through declining to
sanction constitutionally the legisla-
tion under which he proposes to act.
The strict constructionist, for ex-
ample, will search in vain for au-
thority under which it becomes a rea-
sonable function of federal govern-
ment to rent land away from a farm-
er to keep him from planting on it
the crops that he wants to plant.
“General welfare” covers much terri-
tory, but if it covers that, then the
federal government is no longer one
of specified powers—it can do any-
thing. But the point to the New Deal
is, apparently, just that—the assump-
tion that the Federal government can
do anything which congress believes
to be necessary. Necessity is the
charter of authority now—and a ma-
jority vote of congress is the arbiter
of necessity. Thus we come close
to parliamentary amendment of the
constitution, without pretense at re-
sort to the method provided by the
constitution.
But Mr. Wallace is not concerned
with the constitution; he is concern-
ed with higher prices for farm prod-
ucts. To cut down the production,
inducement must be given the pro-
ducer not to produce. Mr. Wallace
takes not the inducement most likely
to get past supreme court inspection,
but the inducement most likely to
lead the farmer to follow the Wal-
lace plan.
Mr. Wallace has still one problem
which he has left untouched—what
to do with the leased land taken out
of agricultural use. Before he gets
done with his case, he is going to
find that this is even harder of solu-
tion than the matter of constitution-
al authority.

Has Option.
The farmer can either offer to take
an outright cash payment for plow-
ing up portions of his crop, or can
take a smaller rental and obtain in
addition an option on about 2,400,000
bales in an amount equal to the es-
timated output of the land to be re-
tired.
These options will be offered him
at six cents a pound, or nearly three
cents below the current market price.
He may order these options exer-
cised at any time up to next January,
his profit being the difference between
the six cents and the price cotton is
selling for when he sells.
Contingent On Co-operation.
Wallace said operation of the whole
plan was contingent on the degree
of co-operation during the brief cam-
paign to obtain contracts.
Unless Wallace is certain he can
take large amounts of cotton out of
production, equivalent to at least 2,-
000,000 bales production, he is not
prepared to proceed further with the
plan.
However, he indicated he was con-
fident of the success of the campaign
and his associates and there was vir-
tually no doubt but that the plan
would be employed and that about
$100,000,000 would be distributed in
rentals to growers in the next few
months.
Wallace withdrew about $64,000,000
from the $300,000,000 made available
by the farm act and subsequent laws
to acquire full title to cotton on which

The marriage of Miss Maurine
Leatherwood to J. Frank Smith of
Taylor was solemnized at 9:00 o'clock
Sunday morning with a quiet cere-
mony at the home of the bride’s par-
ents, Mr. and Mrs. P. E. Leather-
wood, in San Angelo.
The single ring service was per-
formed by the Rev. J. W. Stephens,
pastor of the First Christian Church
of San Angelo, with only a few rela-
tives and friends of the bride present.
The vows were taken at the im-
provised altar in the living room. To
form the altar the fireplace was bank-
ed with palms and ferns with tall
candelabra placed on either side.
Baskets and bowls of Shasta daisies
were placed effectively about the
room.
The bride and bridegroom entered
the room together following the
prenuptial music when Miss Rachel
Smith of Kerrville sang “At Dawn-
ing,” by Cadman. Miss Jessie Stapp
of San Angelo was at the piano, and
for the entrance of the couple she
played “Bridal Chorus” from Lohen-
grin. During the ceremony she soft-
ly played strains from old love songs.
The bride wore a Schiaparelli
model suit, consisting of one piece
dress and swagger coat, made of bas-
ket weave sheer in the beautiful new
melon shade called mongo. She wore
a shoulder corsage of Joanna Hill
rosebuds. Her accessories were of
white.
Immediately after the ceremony
the couple left by automobile for a
short wedding trip in South Texas.
Mrs. Smith was reared in Lam-
pasas and graduated from the high
school of this city. She later attend-
ed “The Texas State College for Wo-
men” (C. I. A.) at Denton and re-
ceived her B. S. degree from that
institution. For the past three years
she has been principal of the Kin-
dergarten school in Taylor.
Mr. Smith is owner and manager
of the Smith Motor Co., Taylor Ford
dealers.
Upon their return from South Tex-
as, they will make their home in
Taylor.

WASHINGTON, June 17.—A drop

2c will go into effect on July 1.
The change recently enacted also
gives the president authority to make

local rate will be watched by officials
to see what effect it has on the postal
revenues. It may be applied gener-

both employers and workers.
The provisions of the new industrial
bill, it has been pointed out, intensify
the need for control of the labor rack-
eteering which has hai*assed the in-
dustry and commerce of the nation’s
great cities.
Cummings has expressed himself
as believing that “as a people we
have been troubled too long by the
racketeers of violence and bloodshed.”
“It is my hope,” Cummings said,
“that in the field of law enforcement
and in the detection and prosecution
of crime I may be able to bring about
a better co-ordination of state and
federal activities.”
Check for Clues.
In addition to ordering operatives
to Kansas City, the justice depart-
ment set men to checking through the
names, data, fingerprints and photo-
graphs in the files of Leavenworth
penitentiary, seeking a clue to those
who shot to death five men in the
Nash episode.
The federal government’s activities
against criminals have been broad-
ened in recent years from the original J
endeavor to prevent counterfeiting 1
and internal revenue evasion to cover
numerous other activities.
In recent years it has entered into
combat against prohibition law vio-
lators, and still more recently against
criminal control of labor and the
produce markets. Now under way
in New York City is a federal grand
jury inquiry into the alleged racke-
teer control of the produce market
of the metropolis.
At upwards of twenty other points
in the nation, federal agents are delv-
ing into racketeering operations, the
scope of which infringes on that sec-
tion of law enforcement delegated
to the federal government—liquor
syndicates, gem, drug and alien
smuggling and gang domination of
labor unions.

and she had my coat on to keep
warm. I guess they might have
thought she was a man.”
The youth said that the othei man
demanded Lis monej, all the time
menacing him with a pistol.
“I opened the dooi to reach for my

my side wrench 'd the door open and
hit me on the head with his pistol.
He reached in my pockets so violent-
ly that lie tore one loose.

Bleeding profusely from the wound
on his shoulder, Conway said he man-

Didn’t Know She Was Dead.
“I put my arm around Ledelle,”
he said. “She had sagged way down
in the seat and her clothes were cov-
ered with blood. I tried to drive as
fast as I could and my shoulder hurt
badly.”
The youth did not know that his
fiancee had been dead almost from
the minute the bullet tore through her
heart.
Young Conway and Miss Hammond
were summer school students at Bay-

hearts for two years at the college.
They drove first to Kosse and told
