[State Summer Schools in Balance as House Group Argues Finance Bill
MEASURE IS
’ DEADLOCKED
BY TIE VOTE
AUSTIN. April 7. (A*)—The ap
propriations committee of the Texas
house of representatives was dead
locked today in the matter of pro
viding funds to carry on the sum
mer schools at the respective state
teacher colleges and other state sup
ported Institutions of higher educi
tion.
An effort was made last night to
vote out a bill appropriating ap
proximately $375,000 for the sum
mer schools, but it failed to eome
out of committee on a tin vote of
10 to 10. The committee’s action
left the bill before the commuice
and it was anticipated that a vote
would be taken on it in the next
few days, although there was a
group that was holding out for de
laying a vote until the legislature
cculd better determine whether
funds would be available.
Educators Protest
Heads of the colleges vigorously
protested against even the tempor
ary- abandonment of the summer
acnools.
Dr. T. O. Walton, president of
Texas Agricultural and Mechanical
college, .id his school would stay
open regardless of the action of the
legislature. Walton said It was vir
tually impossible to discontinue,
even temporarily, some of the vc‘i
vities carried on during the sum
mer at A & M.
S. H. Whitley, president of the
cast Texas State Teachers College,
suggested that the legislature aban
don one of the other terms nr her
than discontinue the summer term.
Whitley said that 23.000 students
attended the summer schools end
that of this number. 80 per cent
were teachers who were under con
tract to teach in the public schools.
It would be an Irreparable loss
Whitley said, to the schools of the
state if the teachers were now al
lowed to take their summer work.
He said elimination of the appro
priation would force many to go out
of the state for their courses, while
many would be unable to at’ nd
summer schools because of the ex
pense.
Fees Are Lowered
Benner Frizzell, superintendent of
schools at Palestine, who urged the
committee to approve the appropria
tion. was asked where the state was
expect'd to obtain money to keep
the schools open when grade schools j
in many counties were being forced
«* J,o shorten their terms.
* “There are 47 000 teachers readv
to pay a sales tax." Frizzell stated.
A bill to reduce the salaries of
all county fee officers was pass'd
by the senate W dnesdav. The max
imum fee allowable would be $6 000
and this would be paid only to dis
trict attorneys in the larger coun
ties.
Officers in counties having a
population in excess of 150.000 pon
ulation would be limited to S5.C00
annually while justice's oi the peace I
and constables would be limited to J
$3,000
Maximum fees proposed to be al- ]
lowed officers in other counties
were:
Counties of less than 10.000 popu- j
latlon. $3,000.
Counties between 10.000 and 25,
000 population. $3,250.
Counties between 25.000 and 37,- ]
000 population. $3,500
Counties between 37.500 and 75,- I
000 population. $4,250.
Counties between 75.000 and 150,- |
000 $4 750.
The house had its first night ses
sion last night, disposing of lo^l i
bills and uncontested bills of gen
eral nature.

Saturday “Pick Up" a picture >k
en from Vina Delmar's story of the
same name, and starring Sylvia
Sidney and George Raft.
The girl in “Pick Up" as por
trayed in Sylvia Sidney’s super?

character whose story captures in
terest and holds it throughout.
George . aft is an excellent co-star.
The versatile player whose roles
have been alike in their suave,
menacing way, reveals himself in
“Pick Up” a player of moods. As
the crude, groping taxi driver who
knows what he wants in wom;n,
but can t find room in his heart for
a “pick ?” girl. Raft gives a mas
terful characterization.

/ 9 States Permit
Beer Sale; Others
Rapidly Near Vote
<By The Associated Press)
There was legal 3.2 beer in 19
states today, but in 13 others legis
lation to permit the beverage was
still in the ferment of debate.
Law making bodies in some of
the 13 states have been virtually
deadlocked over the problem.
Seine have failed to pass the
legislation because of differences
over the intoxicating projierties of
the 3.2 per cent drink, while others
have held up legislation because of
controversy over taxing methods.
The situation:
ALABAMA—Long a battleground
for prohibition ad anti-prohibition
sentiment, only recently legalized
near beer. A bill providing for a
3.2 beverage is up for consideration.
DELAWARE—The state is dry by
local option. The legislature has a
bill up. lout to date it has made lit
tle progress.
FLORIDA—The new governor
has recommended legalization of 3.2
beer. The state senate already has
under consideration a measure

SENATE OKEHS
30-H0UR WEEK
WORKING LAW
WASHINGTON. April 7. <iP>—
The senate today turned to the
fanners’ troubles after having ap
proved a far-reaching measure de
signed to spread industrial employ
ment by limiting hours to 30 a
week.
The administration’s farnj relief
program was set to stay before the
senate until a final vote. Leaders
predicted—despite evident opposi
tion—that this would come before
next Wednesday. Then the house
must pass on it.
Labor Limited
Sponsored by Sen. Black (D
Ala.), the bill limiting labor in
manufacturing industries to five
days a week and six hours a day
was approved by the senate last
night, 33 to 30.
It was sent to the house. Demo
cratic leaders would not predict
Pres. Roosevelt’s attitude. but
they did expect the measure to
be changed in the house to raise
the working limit to 36 hours.
Robinson of Arkansas asserted a
36-hour limitation—defeated by the
senate in debate—would be accept
able to Mr. Roosevelt.
Jobs to 6,000,000
Advocates contended the measure
would give jobs to 6,000.000 idle and
that it would be upheld by the
supreme court. With some excep
tions. the measure would bar from
interstate commerce any product
manufactured or mined by labor
working more than 30 hours.
Articles specifically exempted in
clude newspapers and periodicals,
perishable commodities such as
sea foods, fruits and vegetables. I
milk and milk products, and all
farm products ‘ processed for first ;
sale by the original producer.” Rail
roads were not affected.

CHICAGO, April 7. (ff> —
“There’s a wolf at the door,” a
telephone caller told Desk Ser
geant Michael Gerben.
“That,” said the sergeant, “is
really nothing new. The police
men haven’t been paid for
months.”
However, he sent out a couple
of officers who captured the wolf,
which wasn't a wolf but a rac
coon.
One of the officers said he'd
keep the captive as a pet if no
owner turns up.
