ROBERTSON SAYS TO
SPREAD INFORMATION
SAN BENITO. Mav 2—Whole
j sale deportations of Mexicans ille
gally in the United States can be
reduced to a minimum by spread
ing proper information among
those likely to be affected, in the
belief of Frank Robertson, man
ager cf the San Benito irrigation;
district.
Almost all those who are being
i deported for illegal entry can eas- j
i ily comply with United States im- j
migration regulations and arrange
] to remain in this country legally.]
i he says.
• A campaign should be launched
! in the Valley at once to inform
persons of Mexican birth who are
• making their residence in the j
! United States illegally how they j
; can comply with the law and re- .
j main here
i T have talked with the Immigra
tion authorities and it is my opin
ion almost every person being sent
across the Rio Grande can perfect
a legal right to stay here. All that j
i is necessary is that they report
'to the authorities at Brownsville,
pay the head tax charge and j»c
curc the necessary credentials.
Robertson says the scare is
spreading especially among field
laborers and that it is creating a
serious problem. "The immigra
tion authorities arc only doing
their duty and the seeming unusual
activity is only due to the fact
there are more men In the service
and they nave more money with
which to operate. I am convinced."
he said.
' I find that the number of years
a family has lived here has no
bearing on the case. If entrv to
this country was made illegally in
the f>rst place it is necessary that
the rgiht to remain be obtained in '
the same manner as though they
had been here only a few days.
"The situation is serious and
prompt action is needed If the
proper steps are taken immediately
nil those who are subject to de
portation for Illegal entrv can be
advised of the facts and thev can
secure the right to remain here.
"Effective action along this line
would result in retaining many la
borers in the Valley who are badly
needed.
"Once a person is deported he is
not as likely to return as if the
proper steps had been taken to per
fect the right to remain.”
IN OUR VALLEY
•Continued from page one'
to water an 88.000-acre tract in
Hidalgo county north of Mission.
With approximately the entire
natural flow of the Rio Grande now
m use or soon to be used. Valley
irrigation engineers believe such a
large additional demand on the
strerm would be dangerous to
existing development.
Had the district prepared to
provide for storage and use flood
waters likely operators of present
districts would have seen the appli
cation m a different light. There
is \et much water going to sea un
used but a storage system must be
provided before it is available fot
irrigation.

to material in service, whereupon

7 KILLED IN
MAY DAY RIOT

Barricades And Fire
On Police
BERLIN. May 2.——Clashes |
between police and communists in
yesterday s riotous May day cele
bration in Berlin resulted in heavy
casualties, seven communists being
killed, and 80 civilians and police- j

greater as the figures given out

many communists taken to their
homes by comrades after being in-1
Jurcd.
In all there were 900 arrests m
whom 725 were released after an
examination and their names reg
isterd.
After a fairly quiet day during
which the police had kept the
demonstrations well in hand, scr-1
ious rioting took place last night in
the working class quarter in north
ern Berlin. Barricades were erect- ‘
ed by the communists, and the ^o-,
lice v.ere held off with rifle -nd
pistol fire until armored cars!
forced the obstructions and en-'
abled the authorities to clear ou*
the surrounding houses.
Of the 175 persons still held bv j
the police today, most of them will!
be charged with rioting and viotat- I
ing the public peace. In addition.!
many of those detained over night
who were released this morning are i
liable to be re-arrested if police in- j
vestigation should warrant.
Today the city was quiet end
traffic was normal.
