OFFICIAL SLAP
FOR MANY
Treaty Breaches Are
deplored’ By Group
Of Nations; Future
Steps Studied
(Copyright, 1036, by the AP)
GENEVA, April 17—The League
of Nations council Wednesday adopt
ed the tri-power resolution condemn
ing Germany for her repudiation of
treaty obligations with only Den
mark abstaining from voting.
The resolution, presented jointly
* by Prance, Great Britain and Italy,
deplored unilateral abrogation of
treaty obligations and requested that
the league appoint a committee to
consider what measures, economic
and financial, may be taken against
future repudiators of international
commitments.
Dr. Peter Munch, Danish foreign
minister, in the discussion which
preceded the voting, explained Den
mark would not cast its ballot be*
cause ahe feared adoption of the res
olution would lander “the task of
reconciliation.”
Joseph M. Beck. Polish foreign
minister, voted for the tri-power res
olution, presumably, league authori
ties «aid, under strong persuasion
from France. Poland previously had
Indicated her hostility toward the
declaration because of its proposals
for invoking sanctions against fu
ture treaty violators.
An attempt by Maxim Litvinoff
soviet commissar for foreign affairs,
to extend the implications of the
resolution to parts of the world
ether than Europe was overriden.
The soviet delegate's proeopal was
opposed by Sir John Simon. British
foreign secretary, who asked the
council to confine itself to “prac
tical measures so all our efforts
won’t be lost in shallows and miser
Set.**
Foreign Minister Pierre Laval of
France supported Sir John's views
and asked Litvinoff not to press his
request. Laval suggested that the
soviet objective might “more ap
propriately be done at another time
under other circumstances.”
Litvinoff thereupon agreed and the
vote was called for on the tri-power
resolution as originally introduced
by the French foreign minister.

GROWERS DROP
ONION PRICE
N«w Minimum of $1.40 U
Approved By Group
In Willacy
(8pectal to The Herald)
RAYMONDVILLE. April 17. —
Willacy county onion growers drop
ped their pegged price to $1.40 in
view of the heavy shipments Tues
day. when 77 carloads were moved,
and were successfully holding the
price there.
This price, with a total of about
860 carloads already moved. Is in
great contrast to last season when
with only 161 cars shipped the price
was 75 to 85 cents a 50-pound sack.
About two-thirds of the Willacy
county crop has been moved to
date, and the peak of the move
ment will be passed by Thursday,
with gradual drop from then on.
At the present price the county
will receive more than $1,000,000 for
its entire crop, which is expected
to be around 1200 to 1400 carloads.
The growers reiterated their de
termination to stand by the pegged
price at a mass meeting held here
Monday night, at which time R.
Roy Ruff of Brownsville, president
of the Tri-County Producers Asso
ciation. reported on the results of
his conference with Laredo growers.
He reported that Laredo has only
eight growers, most of whom are
shippers, and they asked for time
in which to think over the matter
before joining a price pegging
agreement.
Willacy county farmers Wednes
day were optimistic over the out
come of the price-pegging move,
which checked a market that was
going steadily downward.
Even at $140 a 50-pound sack
growers will receive almost $100 an
acre for their onions.

ECONOMICAL
LUXURY
Plenty of steaming hot water is
really a luxury. And under old-time
methods of heating water, it really was a
luxury in every sense of the word. The
cost and inconvenience was so great, that
plenty of hot water was placed in the ne
cessity class.
Fortunately for present day folks,
that condition no longer exists. You can
have ALL the really HOT water you want
or need at such a ridiculously low cost, us
ing Natural Gas for Fuel.
For . a few cents a day—less than
you pay for your daily newspapers — you
can have an unfailing supply of hot water
ample for your every need. Use either an
Automatic Gas Storage Water Heater, or
an Instantaneous Gas Water Heater. The
one keeps a tankful of hot water always
ready, the other heats the water as it runs
through the pipes. Either is very efficient,
it’s only a matter of choice.
Why Deny Yourself the Luxury of Plenty
of Hot Water-Let
NATURAL GAS
supply you with all you can use!

LONG FLIGHT
Laura Ingalls Is Forced
Down After 10 Hours
In Air
ALAMOSA. Colo.. April 17. «V-A
blind battle with dust four miles in
the air. more terrifying than a
trans-ocean flight, was described
Wednesday by Miss Laura Ingalls,
whose attempt to set a new trans
continental speed record for wo
men ended here.
“Stupendous. terrific. . tragic,”
were the adjectives used by the

turing the black blizzard through
which she flew blind before land
ing her new black monoplane near
here Tuesday at 4:50 p. m.. (5:50 p

She had been in the air 10 hours
and 40 minutes—four of them
spent in blind navigating—since
taking off on her projected non
stop flight from Los Angeles to
New York.
Before retiring. Miss Ingalls
made a hurried three-mile trip to
the airport to see that a deputy
sheriff was guarding her $20,000
ship.
Then she had a telephone con
versation with her New York back
ers, who were understood to have
encouraged her to make plans for
a new attempt at a transcontinent
al crossing in 15 hours or less. The
present mark of 17 hours. 7 min-1
utes and 30 seconds was set in 1932
by Miss Amelia Earhart.
