PARR DENIES
HE IS OPPOSED
i ROAD
—
(Special to The Herald)
McALLEN, Sept. 4— State Sen.
Archie Parr, long credited in the
lower Rio Granae Valley with pre
venting construction of a state
highway through Kenedy county
as a link in thq Hug-the-Coast
highway from Brownsville to Hous
ton, Saturday made public his per
sonal views toward the highway in
a letter to friends here.
Sen. Parr also prophesied that
the state highway commission would
make an early decision concerning
the much-desired highway con
struction in Kenedy county.
‘Have Never Opposed It’
"I have never opposed building
of the Kenedy county road,” the
Senator’s letter declared. “What I
have opposed was the course first
pursued to secure it. I believe my
judgment will bear me out in the
end for several reasons.
“The bill to secure the road, as
presented to the last legislature,
was vulnerable on several points. I
felt that if it was passed, it was
headed for endless litigation.
because it necessitated a bond issue
in Kenedy County.The land
owners would have fought it to the
last ditch_
“I have always believed that the
quickest and surest way to secure
this road is through the state high
way commission-The landowners
of Kenedy county have not opposed
the building of this highway. They
have opposed and still oppose be
ing bonded to build it.
Offer Right of Way
They have offered to donate the
right-of-way for either route that
the highway commission sees fit tc
designate. They feel that in donat
ing the right-of-way they are be
ing sufficiently taxed to cover what
small benefit this road will be to
this sparsely settled county. It is
the Valley, Corpus Christi and
Houston that will reap the big
benefit. With the thousands of dol
lars in automobile taxes rolling in
every year from these districts, why
shouldn’t some of that money be
used to build a road that will save
them mileage?
“I have the assurance,” the latter
declared, “that the state highway
commission’s survey will be com
pleted in a few days and that their
decision in the matter will be
definitely announced by Septem
ber 15 or shortly thereafter. I be
lieve if those most interested in
the building of this road will con
centrate their efforts on the high
way commission, they will get a
road through Kenedy County ten
years sooner than the will by try
ing to force one through the legis
lature.”

FORD RESTS
DESPITE NRA
DISTURBANCES
BIG BAY, Mich., Sept; 4. UP—
Whatever may ibe Henry Fordta
plans for compliance, or non-com
pliance, with the national automo
bile code, the motor magnate ap
parently is not going to let them
interfere with the vacation he and
his wife are enjoying in their Huron
mountain retreat, far from a tele
phone or telegraph office.
With the dealine for acceptance
of the code less than 24 hours away,
there were no indications that Mr.
Ford planned an early return to
Detroit. In fact, the best informa
tion available was that he would
remain in his 16-room “oabin” un
til Friday or Saturday.
Objects to Opening Books
Neither was there any indica
tion that he was taking steps to
compose his differences with pro
mulgators and administrators of the
automotive code and the National
Recovery Act.
Those differences pivot about the
provisions for collective bargaining
with workers and the right of the
board administrating the code to
inspect the books of signatory com
panies. Ford objects to letting com
petitors view the inside workings
of the close corporation which he
fathered and dominates.
The information that Fora would
not return to Detroit the last of
the week was m sharp contradiction
to current reports that he was plan
ning a quick return trip today, eith
er by special train or by plane.
Railroad officials denied that any
special train had been ordered and
the plane rumor was given little
credence because of the known re
luctance of Mr. Ford to travel by
air.
Counter-Offensive?
It was generally accepted that
his plans in connection with the
NRA movement called either for
compliance or for a vigorous coun
ter-offensive—possibly a return to
the famous $5 a day minimum wage
which brought him world-wide ac
claim some years back. The mini
mum wage has since been reduced
to $4 for an eight-hour day.
Already he has announced a min
imum wage of 50 cents an hour
eight hours a day and five days a
week, and compared that scale with
the 35-hour-week and the 35-cents
an-hour minimum prescribed bv the
code for the Detroit area.
He also announced—choosing the
day when Detroit wras celebrating
re-employment attributed to the
NRA—that between 3,000 and 4,000
former employes are being called
back to his Detroit plants. The pres
ent employment figure in the Ford
plants was estimated at 42.000.

GREGORY WAS
OFFERED POST
IN U. S. COURT
AUSTIN, Sept. 4. VPh-James V.
Allred, attorney general of Texas,
has brought back from Washington
a posthumous story that adds to the
lustre already settled about the lift
of the late Thomas Watt Gregory
of Houston, product of Texaa and
lifelong beneficiary of the Univer
sity of Texas.
The experience was related to All
red by Newton D. Baker of Cleve
land, O., who was secretary of war
I in the cabinet of the late Prea.
Woodrow Wilson at the same time
Mr. Gregory was attorney general
in the same group.
Mr. Gregory was too modest to
repeat the experience that came to
him, a happening that touches fell
men. Baker told Allred, and It vim*'
so interesting Allred asked permis
sion to quote Baker. The former
cabinet member acquiesced.
Baker said that during Pres.
Wilson’s regime there was a vacancy
on the U. S. supreme court.
“One day,** said Baker to Allred
“the president mentioned the vac
ancy and suggested that I name
someone worthy of appointment to
that exalted place. I told the presi
dent that he had available in his
own cabinet a man who most as
suredly could go the supreme court
and by his service there not only
shed credit on the Wilson admin
| istration but bring more honor to
the law profession and the judici
ary. -
“When I mentioned Mr. Gregory *
name, the president exclaimed:
Why, i have been trying for two
weeks to get him to accent the ap
pointment.’
"The president said that Mr. Gre
gory had demurred because of a
slight impediment in his hearing.
He told the nation’s chief that he
relieved one who sat on the exalted
bench of the supreme court should
be in possession of all his faculties,
sven to perfect hearing.
“The president told me he pointed
5Ut to Mr. Gregory that the supreme
court room was not spacious and
that he was certain he could hear
every word uttered by attorneys In
their presentations, but Mr. Grega#
Insisted one who could not hear
tinctly should not sit on the court*
Texas never has had a member
of the U. S. supreme court.
