PENDING BILL
(Continued Prom Page One)
stare cannot match this federal grant,
new highway construction must be
sharply curtailed, with a lesultant bad
effect on the large army of laborers
that depend on highway work. The
effect on labor will be extremely sev-
ere, it being estimated that 90 cents
of every dollar expended in highway
construction ultimately inds its way
into the pockets of labor.
COUNTY FUND SMALL
Under the proposed bill counties
would receive from $15,000 to $22,-
0<H,, according-to population, from the
county lateral road fund. This would
mean, in the opinion of those familiar
with highway work, a dissipation of
these funds since the amount that
would be allocated to each commis-
sioners’ precinct would be so small
tl at it would be impossible to use it
in financing a major improvement or
nraking a substantial contribution to
the county road scstem.
Need for the legislation also has
been obviated by the pending lateral
read program to be undertaken by
the State Highway Depai.nent in
cooperation with the federal govern-
ment. Under the appropriation bill
passed by the last Congre s, Texas
will receive $1,591,522 in federal
funds-or construction on roads that
are not a part of the state system.
This amount must lie matched by the
state, making a grand total of $3,-
P'3,044 that will be expended in the
next year on county lateral roads as
compared to the $4,180,000 that
would be parceled out picemeal to the
counties under the proposed diversion
b.ll.
The County Judges Association at
its annual convention last year adopt-
ed a resolution vigorously opposing
the suggested plan and W. R. Nelson,
county judge of Panola county and
association president, has said his
organization would actively oppose
passage of such a bill. Opposition
of the judges was based on the pre-
mise that a plan would serve only to
Texas Churches
Fight Gambling
Gov. James V. Allred has request-
ed the legislature to repeal the pari
mutuel race track gambling law.
There will be a terrific battle with
chames favoring repeal. Already
the marble machines have been shut
out of Dallas, Houston and other cit-
ies, but there is a stubborn figjht on
the part of operators to keep from
obeying the law. The editors of the
denominational papers are waging i
valiant ampaign against gambling.
The united dry forces have launched
a new publication, “Good Citizenship
Voice,” with Jeff Davis, the superin-
tendent, as editor. The annual tem-
perance address in the United States
Senate by Morris Sheppard, senior
from Texas, has undoubtedly dry
accentuated dry sentiment in Texas
recently."

A new radio program, sponsored
by Vaello Sales Company, and other
Serve! Electrolux refrigerator deal-
ers of the Southwest, went on the air
M(nd&y evening, March 1st, at 9:30
The program originates in the studios
oc IvRLD in Dallas, and is released
through KTRH, Houston, KTSA San
Antonio, and three other Texas anti
Oklahoma radio stations. It will be
heard each Monday evening from
9:30 to 10:00.
The program, “The Crime Report-
er,” honors the law enforcement of-
ficers of the Southwest, particularly
those officers charged with the res-
ponsibility of tracking down the most
desperate criminals. The Southwest
hns harbored some of the nation’s
most hardened criminals, and the
Southwest has some of the finest
police, (county and state officers) in
tiie world. It is to honor these of-
ficers and their untiring efforts to
speedily apprehend these enemies to
society that the program was conceiv-
ed.
Each program will re-enact the
crime as committed and list the clues
op which the officers had to work.
Then the unravelling, of the clues and
tne work of the officers in risking
their own lives to apprehend the cri-
minal will be dramatized. The-pto-
gram yill conclude, whatever pos-
sible with an actual interview with
the peace oficer directing or taking
part in the capture. One feature is
that each program carries a message
from peace officers, addressed to the
public, calling /or cooperaton in re-
ducin'/ crime and law violation in the
Southwest.
The Montalvo Radio Shop, Heb-
bronville, Texas, invites you to tun<‘
in each Monday evening at 9:30 for
thirty minutes of enjoyment with
