Ginnings Show Drop
(Special to The Herald)
DONNA, Aug. 30—Cotton gin
nings in Hidalgo and Starr counties
as of August 16 showed a decrease
of slightly more than 5,000 bales,
according' to figures compiled from j
ginners' reports by W. T. Gilliland
of Donna, special agent for the
Bureau of the Census of the United
States Department of Commerce.
Hidalgo county ginnings on Aug
ust 16 totaled 16,170 bales as com
pare 1 with 17,310 bales at the same
date last season. Starr county gins
i had turned out 1,782 bales on Aug
ust 16 as compared with 5.722 bales
t at the same time last year. Both
! counties had ginned 17,952 bales on
. Augv t 1C as compared with 22.032
• bales at that date last season,
r The total reduction was 5,080 bales,
or approximately 23 per cent.
make definite predictions; thus
much can happen to change the
picture again and again before
decisive events occur. Nevertheless,
though leaders are loth to talk pud
iiuj . the; are discussing a Borah*
Knox struggle as among the many
possibilities.
Some of them even have it all
figured out that Borah - Knox
struggle might result in a dead'.ocx
wnich would bring the nomination!
of a componnise candidate such as
Senator Vandenberg, of Michigan,
or Governor Landon. of Kansas, or
seme ‘dark horse."
There was a disposition here to
ftu that the action of former Vice
President Curtis, Senator Oapper of (
Kansas, and others in coming out j
f'vr Landon went far to assure him
the support of the Kansas (telega
lion to the convention. Vandenberg
is likewise expected by his Menas
to have the Michigan delegates.
None of the four has formally;
declared his candidacy for the!
nomination, though Knox is gen
erally regarded by republican lead
ers as a participant In the race
Vandenberg and Landon have shied
away from active candidacies, and
Borah has kept silent.
If Knox enters the primaries.!
Borah’s friends believe the Idahoan
will also. He is cold toward the
established republican party leader
slur with whit* Knox is on friend
ly terms. Some party observers here
believe many of the Old Guard
republicans are lining up with j
Knox. and Borah has oeen watch
ing the developments closely.
Harlingen To Seek
Only One Project
(Special to The Herald)
HARLINGEN. Aug. 30—Mayor j
Sam Botts Thursday said the $24 -1
000 storm sewer would be the only !
project the Harlingen city commis
sion would ask to be built out of
available federal funds. This pro)- j
ect would be built under a WPA j
grant, he said.
A planning committee has beA
appointed by the Harlingen Cham
ber of Commerce to advise the city
commission in their requests for
grants. Mayor Botts said that he
doubted that the chamber of com
merce committee would change the
city commission's plan although he ;
and the commission lad agreed to
meet with them.
Mayor Botts raid that the reason
they were asking for no more fed
eral grants was because the city
would be forced to vote bond Issues
to defray part of the expenses of ,
construction and the tax burden ;
was already too heavy. He said the I
city tax rate in Harlingen was $180 ;
per hundred dollar valuation exclu-,
s.ve of school tax. This brings the!
total per hundred dollar valuation
to around four dollars.
