CENSUS BILL
UP TO SOLONS
Reapportionment cf House
Likely to Bring On
Bitter Fight
’ WASHINGTON, April 20.—<&)—
Tv/o bills on the program of Pres
ident Hoover for the extra session
—authorization of the 1930 census
and reapportionment of house mem
bership on tne bans of that census
—were combined today by the sen
ate commerce committee and report
ed to the senate.
The consolidated bill, facing op
position from those states which
would lose house representation un
der the reapportionment, has been
accorded second place on the calen
dar. The farm relief measure, up
Monday, has first call.
Advocates of house reapportion
ment regarded the Unking of that
legislation with the bill for author
ization of the 1920 census as a vic
tory. They believe congress is cer
tain to authorize the $39,000,000 for
the regular regenn.al census stip
ulated by the constitution.
The census bill reported, intro
duced on Thursday by Chairman
Jones provides for beginning tne
census next November 1, rather than
on May 1 as stipulated in the bill
passed last session oy tne fiouse.
The bill also includes provision
for the taking of an unemployment
survey in connection with the 1930
census.
The reapportionment bill intro
duced by Vandenberg, republican.
Michigan, is the same in general
scope as that passed last session by
the house. It provides for keeping
the house membership at its pres
ent figure—435.
AGREEMENT RATIFIED
GENEVA, April 20.—France
fias ratified the international labor
agreement providing that seamen
landed during the term of their
employment be given free trans
portation to home ports. Belgium,
Cuba, Estonia and Luxemburg also
ratified the convention which was
framed in 1926.
Lazy Livers
Cause Most Ills
Realise the glorious feeling of
good health and vigor. Get rid of
the cause of “gas” pains, indiges

and that “all-gone.” tired, drowsy
feeling.
Take Dr Tutt’s Pills for a few
days, get your liver and bowels in
order and see how quickly your
whole system will be restored to
natural tone and vigor.—Adv.

British Flier Will Try
Hop Over Pacific Ocean
I PACIFIC OCEAN f<jn|
1 ....-- - — - *
Above, Bromley’s monoplane; right, Lieut Harold Bromley; below map
showing route of proposed transpacific flight
SEATTLE, Wash.. April 20.—A
non-stop flight from Tacoma, Wash.,
to Tokio, Japan, will be attempted
by Lieut. Harold Bromley, former
British wartime flyer, as soon as
weather conditions permit. Backed
by Tacoma capital, Bromley has
just completed the purchase of his
plane.
The plane, to be named the “City
of Takcma,’’ is the big Lockhead
Vega monoplane designed for Cap
tain Sir Hubert Wilkins' antarctic
expedition, and is now under con
struction at Burbank, Cal. It is
powered by a Wright J-6 motor of
335 horsepower, capable of giving
the flyers speed of 150 miles per
hour. It is entirely of wooden con
struction and is exceedingly buoy
ant in water.
Bromley prans to carry 700 gal
lons of gasoline, with a spec.al re
serve of 75 gallons. This he expects
to be enough for 1.000 miles more
than he intends to cover. A special
device has been installed to allow
the tanks to be emptied and closed
in 15 seconds in case of emergency,
and to lighten the plane enough
so that it will float.
The plane w'ill be equipped with
the same radio Martin Jensen used
in the Dole flight from Oakland to
Hawaii, and it will be in constant
touch with the half-dozen govern
ment radio stations on the Great
Circle route he intends to follow.
In planning the trip during the
last year, Bromley has taken safety
into consideration at every point.
Following the Great Circle route,
over the 4,700 miles, he will be over
the Aleutian islands much of the
time, within easy gliding distance
in case of trouble. Only for a short
time will he be over open water. He
is planning to cover the distance
inside of 35 hours.
At 16 Bromley enlisted in the Ca
nadian army, and saw active service
as a machine gunner at the battles
of Somme. Ypres and Vimy Ridge.
Three years after he landed in
France he was transferred to the
royal air force, at Hastings, where
he received a thorough course in
flying and navigation. He is now
a holder of United States depart
ment. of commerce licenses, with
over 1 000 flying hours to his credit. {
Seeks S28.000 Prize
If his flight to Tokio is success
ful Bromley intends to fly back to
Seattle, in an attempt to win the j
$28,000 prize offered by this city for
the first flight between here and
Japan, in either direction.
Before starting the transpacific
hop, the pilot intends to make a se
nes of test flights here, and in Cali
fornia, with full load under ordinary
flying conditions.
LARGE VOLUME
SPUDS SHIPPED
Potato Shipments Attract
Large Interest; 102
Cars Tuesday
By W. D. GOOGE
(U. S. Market News Service)
Of the vegetable shipments trom
the Lower Rio Grande Valley dur
ing the past week potatoes ha ye
been the center of interest, and
have led all commodities in \olume.
Tuesday was the peak day with 102
cars loaded. Large qualities have
been shipped in mixed cars. Prices
have advanced 50c per hundred
pounds. On no day have leadings
been sufficient to supply the de
mand. Carloads of No. 1 stock are
selling freely on wire orders at $3.25
f. o. b. shipping point, and cash
track sales are mostly at $3.00 cwt.
Growers are generally receiving
$2.75 cwt. cash for truck loads de
livered at car doors.
Potato loadings during the week
as reported Saturday were 482 cars,
bringing the total this season up to
1067 cars. To same date last sea
son 661 cars had been forwarded.
With favorable weather and at tne
present rate of digging the entire
Valley corp, estimated to be around
1500 cars, will be practically clean
ed up at the close of the coming
week. The next producing sections
ready for harvest are around
Sugarland, Wharton and Eagle
Lake, and shipments from those
sections are not expected to be
ready before May 10 to 15,
Demand for Snap Beans
The demand for snap beans has
ben active despite heavy shipments
from Florida. Prices to growers
for best stock have been around
$1.75 per bushel hamper, while
carloads and mixed car shipments
have sold on the wire $2.25 to $2.50
and cash trade at $2.00 to $2.25
per hamper. The supplies have
been insufficient to meet the de
mand. Growers report fields are
rapidly cleaning up and good beans
are getting scarce.
Cabbage has held steady during j
the week, carloads selling at a
wide range of prices, mostly $15 to j
$17 per ton f. o. b. shipping point'
on usual terms and $12 to $14 cash
track. Quality is reported gen-;
erallv fair. Shipments from South i
Carolina, Alabama and other sec- |
tions are increasing, and the Valley j
deal is considered as about fin
ished for the current season.
Carrots Break Record
The carrot movement has broken
all records for a single week. On j
Wednesday 53 cars were loaded, and
during the week ending Friday!
night 226 cars were forwarded, j
Large quantities of carrots go into
mixed cars with beets and other j
vegetables. Good beets have been
hard to get, and shipmnets have
been comparatively light. Prices!
for both commodities have ad- j
vanced on an average of 20c per i
crate to around $1.60 per crate in j
carloads f. o. b. shipping points on i
wire orders and to $1.40-1.50 cash !
track. Shippers report that after j
another week the volume of these I
two products going out of the Val
ley will be considerably reduced.
Tomatoes and green corn are
making rapid gains, and mixed car
and L. C. L. shipments are in
——" . ~ — ----- |
creasing. One straight car of corn
moved from La Feria and another
from Donna. Dealers are paying
mostly $1.50 for pink tomatoes in
flat crates, and around $1.50 per
bushel for green corn in the field.
These prices are not expected to
hold when shipments become heav
ier, but the outlook is favorable.
Green wrapped tomatoes in car
loads are expected to begin mov
ing early during the coming week.
Among the shipments reported
during the past week were 321 car
loads of mixed vegetables, 365 cab
bage, 226 carrots, 43 beets, 113
beets and carrots, 482 potatoes, and
34 cars of beans. The total of all
commodities for the week was 1600
cars, as compared with 870 cars
the week before. Shipments from
the Valley to date this season, as
reportd Saturday morning, were
fruit 1729. vegetables 16,991, or a
total of 18,720 cars; to the same
day last season they were fruit
1146, vegetables 14,638, or a total of
15,784 cars. I
