HIDALGO ASKS
AH) IN FIGHT
ON DISEASES
EDINBURG, Sept. 9. —WV- Dr.
D. R. Handley, county health of
ficer, and E. A. Brown, Edinburg
mayor, today broadcast an appeal
for supplies to fight the possible
spread of malaria and typhoid in
the county following the hurricane
earlier in the week.
Asking that some oil company
donate a carload of crude oil to
prevent the breeding of mosquitoes
and that a donation of one car of
lime and 200 pounds of 70 per cent
chlorinated lime be given to guard
against typhoid, the officials point
ed out that there were already a
number of malaria cases in the
county. At least five cases were re
ported in Weslaco.
An acute danger of malaria
exists, it was stated, since several
deaths occurred in Matamoros,
across the Rio Grande from
Brownsville, before the storm.
An Immunization campaign is
now going on in Cameron county
Each person who gets relief food is
inoculaited. Sitnilg rcampaigns
were urged in Hidalgo county by

tions and assisting in preventitive
measures. Dr. Brown said immuni
zation material would be provided
by the state department of health.

America Gravely
Concerned Over
Cuban Situation
WASHINGTON, Sept. 9. —iJP)—
Grave concern as to how much
longer present conditions in Cuba
can continue without disorders, was
felt today by American officials.
While latest official advices said
no lives had been lost, the state
department said frankly it did not
know how much agitation and dis
order might be taking place in the
interior.
At Havana, where American war
ships lay alert and ready in the
harbor, soon to be joined by the
battleship Mississippi from Carde
nas under orders today, Cuban gov
ernmental activities appeared at a
standstill.
The crux was the question of
how many days or hours a nation
of 4,000,000 people can get along
without more of a government and
avoid a blow-up, especially with Us
military element divided.
Secy. Hull, with relief apparent
in his voice, told newspapermen
that Ambassador Sumner Welles at
Havana had Informed him the hun
dreds of army officers massed at
the National Hotel against efforts
of the rank and file to send them
back to their posts had left the
building without bloodshed
Secy. Hull said approximately 500
officers, including generals, colonels
and others above non-commissioned
rank, had taken refuge at the hotel.
He was not advised under what
circumstances they departed.
Secy. Hull expressed wholeheart
ed approval of the action of the
Mexican government in expressing
to Argentina, Brazil and Chile the
hope that they would make known
their desire that the Cuban people
promptly establish a stable govern
ment.
Asked about a report from Bue
nos Aires that Argentina had sent
a note to the American government
expressing hope that it would not
intervene in Cuba, Hull said he was
unable to comment on replies grow
ing out of the Mexican action at
this time. It also was reported that
Chile had replied favorably to the
Mexican request.

to right to represent the spring
time or rising sun as a lucky em
blem, symbolizing light, life and
prosperity, and a “sauvastiki,” in
which the branches turn from light
to left as an unlucky emblem.

SCHOOLS ARE
EXEMPT FROM
RECOVERY LAW
WASHINGTON, Sept. 9.—WP)—
The NRA ruling that educational
institutions are exempt from the
recovery law was hailed today by
the American council on education
with a promise that schools and
colleges will work the harder for
the Roosevelt reemployment pro
gram.
Charles R. Mann, director of the
council, who appointed the commit
tee which obtained the ruling, said
the action shows how fully the NRA
“respects the necessity for freedom
in American education."
Administrator Hugh S. Johnson
authorized the move on recom
mendation by the labor and indus
trial advisory boards and on word
from Donald R. Richberg, recovery
counsel, that “this is in line with
my interpretation of the law."
Affecting non - profit making
agencies performing a social ser
vice and supported by popular sub
scription, the ruling states:
“That schools, oolleges, universi
ties, churches, hospitals and char
itable institutions supported by
.public subscriptions, not operated
for profit, except so far as they may
be engaged in the operation of
trade or industry, need not come
under the provisions of the Na
tional Recovery act.”
The American Council on educa
tion committee which conferred
with NRA officials in formulation
of the ruling consisted of Chair
man Cloyd Heck Marvin, president
of George Washington university
here; Joseph H. Saunders, of the
National Education association;
Robert L. Kelly, Association of
American Colleges; and the Rev.
George Johnson, National Catholic
Welfare conference.

G. W. Moot hart, President
WITH President Roosevelt’s acceptance of the
NRA Automobile Code, Chevrolet, the world’s
largest builder of motor cars, officially begins
operations in accordance with the administration’s re
covery program. ,
Although the official code was signed only a few days ago,
it will be of interest to Chevrolet’s many friends to learn
that the Chevrolet Motor Company started to carry out
the spirit of today’s recovery program over three years ago!
At that time, we put into operation a "share-the-work”
plan, whereby our workmen cooperated in spreading the
work to give more men jobs. By means of this plan, as
well as by regulating hours of work per week to meet retail
demand, and by building up parts stocks in lean seasons, it
was possible to carry 33,000 men on our payroll through the
depression. For eleven months of each year since 1929, we
have kept our employment within 10 per cent of this average.
We are justly proud of thafcrecord. We are also proud to say
that Chevrolet workmen did not, at any time during the
depression, become a burden on public welfare departments.
On August 1st of this year, Chevrolet announced a blanket
wage increase as well as the adoption of a 7 H-hour, 5-day
week and the employment of 12,000 additional men. This*
wage increase was the second in the last 4 months, Chev
rolet having been among the first to put a blanket wage
increase into effect.
We feel that the President’s recovery program deserves the
whole-hearted support of every citizen and manufacturer
in America. It is a bold, swift, courageous plan to start the
ball rolling toward economic recovery. Its sincerity is un
questioned. Its objectives are admirable. And the direct*
forceful steps the President and his associates are taking to
make it a success, should stir the pride and admiration of
every American.
We are proud and glad to do our part. And we are deeply
grateful to the American people for the patronage that has
enabled us to anticipate the present recovery program and
to play our part today. After all, the immense number of
men employed by Chevrolet is a direct result of the con*
tinued preference America has shown for Chevrolet,
