By RALPH L. BUELL
TEXAS LEGISLATURE CON
venes today for tha long grind of
the regular session
The Valley will have bills to pro
pose. laws this section desires en
acted.
Aa we warned a couple of days
ago regarding the shippers bond
ing and licensing bill—
So we warn regarding all propos
ed legislation affecting this section—
Get the bills in the hands of our
representatives or our senator
EARLY.
* • *
A BILL INTRODUCED EARLY
In the session stands a reasonable
chance of getting through, all oth
er things being equal.
A bill Introduced in the last few
days of the session, especially a local
Mil. is almost certain sure to be
l06t in the last minute shuffle.
Several time* we have placed an
undue responsibility and an undue
hardship on our legislative me til
ers by handing them bills at the
last minute, and then—when
through no fault of their’s the bills
could not get through—have blamed
them for the non-passage.
If you have a bill, get It in early.

THE OFFICE WAG WANTS TO
know If this fog we have been hav
ing the last few mornings—
Is a result of the extension of the
Brownsville ship channel this way.
Bringing the sea to Brownsville,
and the fog along with it.
• • •
BUT IF YOU THINK THESE
are fogs we have been having—
Step out in the Panhandle and see
• real fog for a change
They actually have them, along
with dust storms and barbed wire
fences.
• • •
EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE WE
get tickled.
In this particular Instance the
sensation is the result of reading a
300 word feature story on the new
legislature Just convening, which
tells of the old faces missing as
the soions gather once more.
And just fivs words about the
retirement from the Texas Senate
of Archie Parr of Benavides!
Whether you were for him or
against him. Senator Parr was and
Is one of the most picturesque fig
ures to ever sit in a legislative as
sembly, and his passing from the
ranks of state officials is history in
itself.
• • •
kONE THING WE HOPE FROM
Is session which is upon us—
That a calm and deliberative joint
committee will figure some way out
of the delinquent tax muddle in
which the state finds itself.
Some way must be found to make
it possible for the man owing taxes
to pay. and for state, county, city
and school district to collect.
The problem cannot be solved by
Just putting off the evil day of
payment—
A real program based on thought
ful deliberation, can be worked out
and it must be worked out if our
political subdivisions are to continue

Governor-Elect
AUSTIN. Jan. 8. (&>— A man re
ported to have made a threat to
kill Governor-Elect James V. All
red was arrested by city officers
here Tuesday.
The man was arrested on a street
near the University of Texas
and was booked on a charge of
drunkenness. Officers said he was
in no condition to discuss the re
ported threat. They were inclined
to discount the report he intended
to harm the governor-elect.
A woman informed the Rev.
Charles C. Robinson of Austin she
had heard a man remark in a fill

miles from Austin, he was going to
the capital to kill Allred. The Rev.
Robinson promptly telephoned po
lice. The man arrested was riding
in the automobile the number of

Allred made no comment imme

LADDER ONE OF MOST IMPORTANT LINKS
A bitter fight by the defense to bar the ladder found at the scene of the Lindbergh kidnaping, and an
equally-spirited fight by the state to force its entry as evidence, has made the ladder one of the most im
portant links of evidence in Bruno Hauptmann's trial. At the left is shown Arthur Koehler examining
the ladder in an attempt to link it with one found in Ha uptmann's garage. Koehler is a “wood technologist”
and has been considered one of the state’s most important witnesses. At the right is a photo of the ladder
shown leading against the window through which, the state alleges, “Baby Lindbergh was carried to his
death from the nursery in the Lindbergh home.

(Special to The Herald)
HARLINGEN, Jan. 8 —A mini-I
mum pnce of $10 per ton for cab
bage was set by the stabilization
committee of the Valley Vegetable
Growers' association Monday night.
The price ha« been slipping grad
ually from $17 per ton, and mem
bers of the committee said it would
likely slip further unless the mini
mum was set.
The committee is asking all far
mers to cooperate by cutting and
harvesting only cabbage which is
fully ready for the market. Prices
should be better, committee mem
bers stated, if the early market is
not rushed.
The Valley has control of the
green cabbage market at present.
Homer Huntley, secretary of the
committee, stated, due to the fact
that the Corpus Christl and Robs
town sections are not ready for
shipping. Stored cabbage in the
market centers is in poor condition,
be said.
Several leading shippers advised
the committee to set the minimum
in order to hold up the slipping
prices. Huntley declared.
Davis Wade, of Wade and New
ton. San Benito, Valley shipper, in
discussing the cabbage situation
called attention to the fact that
the reported shipments are only the

COURT DEBATES
GOLD ACTION
Nation's Financial Stability
Is At Stake, Says Brief
Of Government
WASHINGTON, Jan. 8. OP)—An
other major economic move of the
New Deal went on trial before the
supreme court Tuesday in a multi
ple challenge of the historic action
of congress in suspending gold pay
ments.
An estimated 90 to 125 billion
dollars in securities were involved
a* the court began hearing argu
ments on five cases contesting the
administration's right, in pursuing
its monetary policies, to halt the
payment of gold or its equivalent on
securities bearing a “gold clause"
calling for such payment.
In combatting the challenge, the
government has asserted in a brief:
“The solvency of many citizens,
industries and local governments,
perhaps even the financial stability
of the national government, may be
affected by the determination of
this great issue"
Ickes Dares Rooseve It Wrath
To Back His Aides to Limit
Interior Department’s ‘Spy System’ Of Super
Sleuth Arouses Jitters In
Washington
By RODNEY DUTCHER
(The Brownsville Herald Washington Correspondent)
WASHINGTON, Jan. 8.—Denial of the facts has but
slightly cooled the hot spot that was made for several
New Deal folks with the explosion into print of the
Burlew incident. Here’s the inside story:
Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt has the ax out for Ebert K.
Bunew. aamiiusirauve assistant to.
and closet lieutenant of Interior
Secretary Harold Ickes. The presi
dent. Secretary Wallace and Post
master General Farley are also
among the many who privately
have expressed strong disapproval
of Burlew.
Considering that lineup, it may
seem rather astonishing that Bur
ies is a hard person to budge. The
chief reason is the well-known ob
stinacy of Ickes, who may resign
from the cabinet rather than swerve
in loyalty to his trusted subordin
ate.
Burlew went on Mrs. Roosevelt’s
bad books weeks ago. Privately,
she blames him for the mess that
has been made of Subsistence
Homesteads, especially her pet;
project at Reedsville, w. Va. j
» .... —. .— ..... «l
Both she and the president have
heard of other instances in which
Burlew, to whom Ickes has granted
great power, is alleged to have side
tracked projects of especial Inter
est to them and other New Dealers.
• • •
Knife Oni for Gloria
Similarly. Louis R. Glavis—an
other Ickes favorite, who heads the
vast Ickes investigative force, or
“spy system”, and may well be
called America’s super-sleuth—has
incurred White House displeasure
by his almost incredible espionage
into the affairs of officials high and
low. %
Just as the capital teems with
stories of Burlew's anti-New Deal
activities, so does it reek with wild
tales gl the Glavis methods.

HEALTH UNIT
IS OPPOSED
City Physicians Say Data
Given Association
Incorrect
Eleven Brownsville physicians at
a meeting Mlnday night In the
chamber of commerce building pass
ed a resolution opposing formation
of a Cameron County health unit,
on the grounds that the Cameron
County Medical association had been
“given incorrect Information’’ on
which It based its action favoring
formation of the health unit.
The resolution follows:
“Resolved: That the Commission
ers Court be advised that the prac
ticing physicians of Brownsville,
members of the Cameron county
Medical Society, are opposed to the
recommendation of the Cameron
County Medical Society relative to
establishing a public health unit in
Cameron county on the grounds that
the information given the Camer
on County Medical Society was er
roneous, and furthermore that the
Cameron County Medical 8ociety
be advised of such action and that
we request reconsideration of the
question of the advisability of es
tablishing a public health unit In
Cameron county.”
Dr. R. H. Eisaman. who presided
at the meeting, explained. In dis
cussing the resolution that the med
ical committee appointed to inves
tigate the public health u%it sug
gestion had been Informed that the
relief organization would pay $2.50
daily for every’ Indigent person
placed In a hospital, and that this
information later was found to be
untrue.
The doctors adopted two other res
olutions as follows:
“Resolved that the compulsory
vaccination of school Children
against small pox and diphtheria
be recommended. That Indigent*
designated as such by the Parent -
Teachers committees, be given im
munization free of charges by the
county or city health officers. That
thla program include the Browns
ville Independent School district and
all other schools In Precinct No -2.
and
“Resolved that the practicing phy
sicians of Brownsville who are mem
bers of the Cameron County Medi
cal Society recommend that the
Mercy hospital, located In Browns
ville, Texas, be standardized accord
i Ij ot She requirements of the
American College of 8urgeons.” Dr.
Eisaman said the hospital is in favor
of making this advance, which will
result in closer .cooperation between
the hospital :*iministration and the
staff of physicians, particularly in
keeping records. ,

OLD HAN SAYS
HESAWBRUNO
ON FATAL DAY
Attempt By State T4
Introduce Ladder In
Trial At Evidence
Ig Blocked
(Copyright, 1935. by the AP)
FLEMINGTON, N. J, Jan. 8.—
An aged former neighbor of Col
onel Charles A. Lindbergh pointed
a palsied finger at the accused
Bruno Richard Hauptmann Tues
day and declared he saw him near
the Lindbergh home on the day
Charles Augustus Lindbergh, Jr,
was stolen from his crib and slain.
The aged witness, Amandus Hoch
muth, 87, positively identified
Hauptmann as a man in a dirty
green automobile who passed hie
home on March 1, 1932, turned into
the Lindbergh road and “glared at
me as if he saw a ghost!"
Other Highlights
The melodramatic surprise —
heightened by the extinguishing of
the courtroom lights just as the old
man first pointed accusingly at
Hauptmann—was sandwiched be
tween two other highlights of the
morning session.
The state failed in its second at
tempt to get the ladder down which
It contends the baby was carried to
its death into evidence, and the de
fense pursued a vtrgorous attack
upon the efficiency of the New
Jersey police after two state troop
ers testified they could find no
fingerprint* in the Lindbergh nur
sery, on the ladder, or on the ran
som note which Lindbergh found
on the nursery window sill.
Hockmuth said he had seen a man
in a car In Hopewell on March l,
1932. The baby was kidnaped that
night.
He aaid there waa a ladder In the
car.
Wilentz asked Hockmuth if ho
could point out “that man*' in the
car.
“There he Is," he said, his shak
ing finger pointed to Hauptmann.
“Now will you step down and place
your hand his shoulder."
Reilly objected to this until the
aged man said, “he's the man be
tween the state trooper and the
man in the white shirt *
Pnte Hand on Bran
He then got down from the chair
and placed his hand gingerly on
Hauptmann's shoulder and then
withdrew it gingerly.
Hauptmann shook his head in*
short negative rolla.
“I saw the car coming, and the
man in it looked out of the window
at me as if he had seen a ghost."
Hockmuth said.
“I object.” Reilly sang out. "I ob
ject to ghost stories.”
The old man, trembling violently
and speaking in an almost Inaudible
tone, said the car swung into the
Lindbergh lane and stopped brief
ly.
Q Do you remember the color of
the car?
A. Yes a dirty green.
Reilly began cross examination.
Reilly asked the witness to tell If
he had stood in the courtroom door
way with a state trooper during
Monday’s session.
"Did that state trooper point out
Bruno Richard Hauptmann to you
as he sat in his seat” bellowed
Reilly.
"No.” shot back the shaky voice
with spirit.
Wllentz bounded to his feet In
strenuous objection.
"I object to the defense badger
ing this witness ”
The bearded little man. who gave
his age as 87. shook His hand clasp
ed and unclasped continually. Hie
head shook nervously.
Justice Trenchard overruled sev
ers! objections of the attorney gen
eral.
*1 see no badgering here.” the
Justice remarked.
"This Is a point of Inquiry."
'Saw Him March 1*
The 87-year-old surprise witness
answered a number of questions
about when he moved to Hopewell
before Reilly snapped:
Q. What was the date you say you
saw this man?
A. March 1. 1932.
Q. What day of the week?
A. Tuesday. I think It was Tues
day.
Q. What time did you see the t
dirty green car?
A. About noon. It was a clear day.
