Laborers Influx To
Valley Halt Asked
(Special to The Herald)
HARLINGEN, Sept. 21.—Govern
ment relief agencies took steps to
day to discourage a continued in
flux of laborers to the Lower Rio
Grande Valley struck by a hurri
cane early in the month, warning
that such labor might become
stranded and a burden on the com
munity.
A. L. Brooks, manager of the
Harlingen Chamber ot commerce,
said an ample supply of workers
was available already for recons
truction work.
MARKETS
NEW YORK STOCKS
NEW YORK, Sept. 21. UP)—Sec
urity market skies were again over
cast today and only an occasional
ray of optimistic sunshine broke
through the lowering trade clouds.
A continuation of yesterday’s
sharp liquidation lapped over into
the early hours and prices of both
stocks and bonds broke 1 to 3 or
more points before some moderate
support stemmed the tide. As in
the previous session, the activity
expanded on the downswing and
slowed down perceptibly on the
rallies. Grains and cotton gave no
encouragement to equities, both
categories showing renewed weak
ness. Other commodities were
rather heavy. The dollar, at the
same time, recovered in foreign
exchange dealings.
A number of leading shares got
back part of their morning’s loss
es. Some of the more depressed
utility stocks displayed resistance,
notably Consolidated Gas and Pub
lic Service of New Jersey, which
moved up a piont or more each.
American Telephone just about held
its own. The rails were heavy most
of the time, declines of 1 to 2 or
more being registered by Union Pa
cific, New York Central, Baltimore
& Ohio and Santa Fe. The metals
retrieved some of their lost ground.
One of the reasons for the recent
eccentric gyrations of security prices,
In the opinion of Wall street, is the
extremely low level to which the
short interest has fallen. Highel
taxes and margin requirements, the
stringent regulations on pool oper
ations and general uncertainties re
garding the government’s fiscal pro
gram have thinned the ranks of
bear traders to such an extent that
sizeable short transactions are rare
Brokers claim that a substantial
short position is necessary to cush
ion and stabilize any declining
movement. Without this covering
support, it is contended, stocks are
quickly unsettled by even moderate
liquidation.
NEW ORLEANS COTTON
NEW ORLEANS, Sept. 21.—(IP)—
Cotton opened easy today owing to
lower Liverpool cables and sterling.
First trades were 10 to 17 points
down and the market continued to
decline after the start due to over
night selling orders and some hedge
selling against very little buying.
October traded down to 9.64 and
December to 9.17, or 18 to 19 points
below yesterday’s close. Later in
the first hour the market was a
shade steadier but at the lows.
The market continued to decline
during the morning in sympathy
with weakness in stocks and on
further liquidation by recent buy
ers. October declined to 9.59 and
December to 9.80, or 24 to 25 points
under yesterday’s close.
Towards mid-session tthe market
rallied under active short covering
and October advanced to 9.77 and
December to 10.02, up 18 to 22
rints from the lows and to within
to 6 points of yesterday’s • close.
At mid-session the market was
steady and retained the recovery.
SPOT COTTON
NEW ORLEANS, Sept. 21. (IP)—
Spot cotton closed steady, 44
points down. Sales 7,007; low mid
dling 8.75; middling 9.40; good mid
dling 9.85; receipts 4,780; stock 673,
609.
CHICAGO GRAIN
CHICAGO, Sept. 21.—(IP)— Sharp
setbacks of grain prices today fol
lowed a steep tumble ifa British
exchange, together with weakness
of securities and cotton at New
York. Large Russian shipments of
wheat were a bearish factor. Open
ing 11-4 to 2 1-8 cents lower,
wheat afterward held near the
initial range. Corn started 5-8 to 1
1-8 down, and subsequently altered
littta. '
PORTER TELLS
OF HURRICANE
A “cheerful” program featured
the regular luncheon of the Browns
ville Rotary club on Wednesday,
with Willie, negro bellhop at the
El Jardin relating his experiences
the night of the hurricane.
Willie’s memory proved retentive
and he regaled the club members
with choice bits of humor as he
told of his reactions to the storm.
George White was the principal
speaker, introducing Willie.
Vocal solos by T. S. Fair were
roundly applauded as were piano
numbers by Miss Lorene Strein.
Miss Especia Ross accompanied Mr.
Fair at the piano.
Telegrams to Rotary clubs of
Dallas, Houston and San Antonio,
urging support of the Red Cross
drive in those cities were author
ized by the club.

\ Feminine
Make-Up
Tips Given
CHICAGO, Sept. 21. ^—(JP)—
Thirteen tips in new fall feminine
make-up were given today by
Myndall Cain, Minneapolis beau
tician, who is on the program of
the National Hairdressers and
Cosmetologists association in an
nual convention here. Here they
are:
1. The fall ideal in make-up is
to copy the delicate fragile beau
ty of the women of the Victorian
era yet retain the vitality of 1933.
2. Make-up—Rouge, lipstick.and
powder—is lighter in color this
fall.
3. Beauty patches are back.
They are worn to accent the
most attractive feature, but gen
erally are placed near the eye
when the hat is small and close
to the mouth when the hat is
large.
4. Combs—Yes, fancy, jeweled
combs and the plain school girl
tortoise shell variety—are back,
too—
5. And so are barrettes, plain
and Jeweled.
6. Children are again wearing
hair ribbons—
7. And so may their mammas.
An illustration of this new vogue
was described for evening wear.
With a white evening gown flat
tailored white ribbon bows were
pictured as worn at the temples.
8. Finger nails may still be
brilliantly colored, but the new
fad in application of the polish
is to cover the entire nail, leaving
no white tip and sometimes no
white moon at the base of the
tail.
9. The new bob is longer—two
inches below the ear lobe, but—
10. The bob is not worn long.
Instead the hair is dressed up in
back and held in place with
combs and barrettes.
11. False hair will be used, and
this includes braids as well as
curls.
12. Some of the new lipsticks
are wine-red.
13. Gray hair is smart.

(Continued From Page One)
last July near a south side Kansas
City hotel.
Bailey, accused originator of the
kidnap plot, will take the stand in
his own defense, his attorney, James
H. MatherS, announced.
Bates May Testify
Arriving Tuesday, before any
member of the Urschel group had
testified, the Kelly letter, govern
ment authorities surmised, had
been timed to.intimidate them and
prevent their giving complete in
formation about the events of the
kidnaping. The letter was sent by
airmail from Chicago, but officers
doubted that it had been mailed by
either Kelly or his wife.
It was postmarked at the same
time a letter threatened death to
the R. G. Shannon family and
signed similarly with Kelly’s name
and fingeQ>rints. R. G. Shannon,
his wife Ora, and his 17-year-old
son, Armon, also are on trial in
the kidnaping case. They operated
flie Texas farm where Urschel was
held.
Bates and the Shannons also may
testify.

velopment company vs. the City of
