DIPLOMACY MUST SETTLE
RIO GRANDE DISTRIBUTION
By JACK STARR-HITN'T
MEXICO CITY, Sept. 11.—Diplo
macy as much as material fact is
to play a leading part in the Inter
national Water Commissions de
liberations of an equitable distri
bution of the waters of the Rio
Grande, which will form part of
the commission s discussions at the
third session to be held in October
In Washington.
The question of allotment of irri
gable waters of the Colorado and
Tia Juana rivers will afeo form part
of the Washington discussions in
continuing the debates concluded
by the commission Sept. 10 when it
adjourned its second meeting in
Mexico City at which flood control
of the Colorado river was the chief
topic discussed and a tentative
agreement on this one phase of the
complex problems facing the com
mission was reached.
If the Colorado presents a com
plex solution, the Rio Grande will
be doubly difficult to decide, for not
only is a matter of physical dis
tribution and allotment of Irrigable
lands at stake, of paramount inter
est to both the United States and
Mexico, but there is a question of
principle involved which Mexico
will undertake to defend at the Oc
tober meetings . Casting aside the I
I material problems involved. Mexico,
it is understood on the best author- !
ity, sees in the Rio Grande issue
one that in the opinion of the
Mexican government involves a
trespass on the sovereign rights of
the nation.
The Mexico standpoint is that
during the lapse of years the Rio
Grande in its fickle flow from the
deserts of the Middle West to its
outlet in the Gulf of Mexico has
flagrantly violated the usual cour
tesies of a neighborly line of divi
sion that defies the legal real hold
ings of two friendly parties in this
case two countries, the United
States and Mexico.
History of Mexico and the Unit
ed States has been raked to its
original depth in the brief present
ed to. the water commission dele
gates in Mexico s effort to sustain
the whip hand against the progres
sive spirit of the seven American
states that although after a bitter
congressional fight determined the
building of the Boulder Dam a ne
cessity for the future agricultural
development of their respective
communities which served to focus
the attention of Mexico on an old
problem that before Boulder Dam
was thought of had almost lost it
self in the official archives of the
Mexican government.

HOWES
SIDELIGHTSS
PALACE, McALLEN
“High Voltage," coming to the
Palace in McAllen Thursday, la a
modern story which, in a sense,
parallels the experiences of the
hardy pioneers who hit the Emi
grant Trail. It concerns a group
of humans, snowbound on the end
less flats when a modem motor bus
becomes stranded. Face to face
with death, they are forced to re
turn to the primitive and their re
asons furnish a highly dramatic
story.
In the cast supporting William
Boyd are Owen Moore. Carol Lom
bard. Diane Ellis, Billy Bevan and
Phillips Smalley.
TEXAS
Far surpassing in emotional dra
ma her previous work as a comedi
enne, Colleen Moore has given a
performance in the stellar role of
“Happiness Ahead" that unques
tionably should be considered the
finest of her career.
* Happiness Ahead" opens Thurs
day at the Texas theater.
CAPITOL
The fact that it defies the great .
American Jazz tradition is not alone
the reason for recommending “The
Rainbow Man.” opening Thursday
at the Capitol. It is first of all a
real, human story, simple, but tme
and plausible. In the second place
it contains acting of a high caliber
in the hands of everyone in the
cast.
Eddie Dowling Is a small-time
minstrel man who adopts a little
boy. Frankie Darro, after his fath
er. Gecrge Hayes, is victim of vod
vU accident. Marian Nixon is the
daughter of a small town hotel pro
prietor She falls In love with Dowl
ing while his troupe is playing her
town.
The plot goes forward through
sunshine and tears and comedy
seasoned with epihodlc drama un
til finally the lovers are Joined in a
touching scene wherein the rain- j
bow of their romance comes shining
through.

By R. W. BARRY
Associated Press Staff Writer
AUSTIN. Sept. 11.—<AV- Hope
expressed here the other day by
Dave W. Wilcox of Georgetown,
chairman of the state democratic
executive committee, that the cam
paign next year be free of Hoover
Smith factional unpleasantries,
could be accepted in liberal con
struction as meaning considerable.
It could be taken as a broad hint
that the state committee will not
bar from participation in the pri
maries those democrats who crawled
out of their party skins temporarily
to vote against Governor Alfred
Smith of New York.
But. even should not another
word be said by the party managers
about excommunicating candidates
and voters for their past misbe
havior the chances look good for
another bitter campaign in which
the name Tammany will be ban
tered about and sinful influence of
intoxicating liquor held up as likely
to destroy the state unless the
white-ribbon wearers stay on the
job and put into state offices men
and women who are “on guard”
ceaselessly.
There Is considerable talk about
anti-Tammany democrats — those
who went to the other side to help
Texas go republican last year—or
ganizing themselves for the fight
and formulating a straight ticket
from governor on down.
Anti-Tammanies for Love
Senator Thomas B. Love of Dal
las. already announced for governor,
would be that element's choice to
head the ticket should a convention
be held, according to those who
have been out over the state. There
is a movement on now to induce
Alvin S. Moodv of Houston to stand
for lieutenant governor. Moody
was a member of the state execu
tive committee and quit It in a
grand fracas over the democratic
presidential nominee.
There has been some talk of
Moodv running for governor or
United States senator. The name
"Moody’* might prove an asset to
him. some think. In fact, it was
pointed out that Alvin Moody went
to New York awhile back and news
paper readers of the east had a dif
ficult time getting it straight that
the "Mr. Moody from Texas” being
wdiely interviewed, was not “Gov
ernor Dan Moodv of Texas.”
Dwight Lewelling of Dallas has
been mentioned as the probable
choice of the anti-Tammanyites for
attorney general.
It is rumored that a state-wide
convention will be called early next
year for the purpose of picking a
'Mnplete ticket.
There dees not seem to be an
early rush for the place of lieutne
ant governor. Senator J. D. Parnell
of Wichita Falls, who lost last time.
Is the only candidate so far. al
though Representative Ray Holder
of Lancaster, has been threatening
his announcement. He has almost
decided, though, that should Sneak- i
er W. S. Barron of Brvan want the
place he will support Barron. Sena
tor Joe M. Moore of Greenville his
definitely decided to keep on repre
senting his constituents as a sena
tor, It has been reported.
Maverick Mav Announce
Senator W. A. Williamson of San'
Antonio in the person of aury Mav
erick. member of the Maverick fam
ily of Texas history making fame,
has confided In some of his friends
he would like to be lieutenant gov
ernor and—win or lose—ic thinking
seriously of trying his hand in state
politics.

to have a lieutenant governor as

Maverick said. "If I should run.
my platform would be short. I
would be mostly a hand-shaking
lieutenant governor. Be someone

sense of humor will think he is jok

Anyway, he is a successful busi

Dent Celebrating
Appreciation Month
The world’s newest song., the
world’s newest stories and the
world’s greatest artists, in the great
est development of a generation, will
contribute their part to the obser-.
vance of “Appreciation Month
which was launched this week I
Brownsville by Manager John
Fanning of the Dent theaters. Dur
ing this four week’s courtesy to the
thousands of patrons in Browns
ville and vicinity, the local theaters
will present what is described as the
finest array of talking pictures ever
shown in this city.
“Appreciation Month- ts a court
esy of appreciation to the patrons
of the Dent theaters of Brownsville
for their patronage during the past
12 months. In no better way than
by booking into its theaters, during
the month of September, the finest
pictures obtainable in the new show
world today, could the Dent theaters
express their appreciation.
That the array of new picture*
of the new season is the finest that
the studios of the world afford, is I
perhaps best known now only to!
those who have seen these produc
tions. But as “Appreciation Month”
wears on, those who see each and
every one of these new releases, will
realize that there is something new
under the sun.
While many new stars have riser
during the past 12 months, man'
more have merely transferred thei
talents from the fast disappearing
stage to the new talking and sing
ing screen. Hundreds of the leading
stars of Broadway now lend their
names and talents to the talking
screen. During tthe month, mcr
than a score of them will be seen
and heard just as they have been
seen and heard on Broadway for
years.
