FORTY-FOURTH YEAR—No. 67 * * te A C0PY
' i
.VALLEY
BY TALPH L. Bl ELL
SOME OF THE FINEST SUP
port ever given to any kind of a
Valley project—
Is that being offered the Port
Isabel causeway proposal by Insti
tutions and newspapers up and
down the Valley.
Behind all of which may be seen
the fine Italian hands of W. R
Montgomery of Edinburg and Port
Isabel 61 Jackson. Mayor George
Bcanlan and some more of the boys.
Cooperation Is easy to secure In
;tbe Valley, when and If—
The right project comes along
and the right men ask for It In the
right way.

BROWNSVILLE, AND INDEED
the Valley at large should be and
Is keenly interested In the forth
coming visit of a congressional
committee to Fort Brown.
As announced by post officials,
the committee will determine allo
cations for Fort Brown as to
amount and as to purpose for which
they will be used.
Support of Fort Brown has been
another proposition on which the
Valley has always lined up solidly.
ONE GOOD REASON FOR SUCH
support has been the cooperative
spirit invariably manifested—
By Fort Brown personnel, officers
and enlisted men.
In welcoming Colonel Kerr T.
Riggs as he takes over the command
of this Valley post—
Added fervor la given the greet
ing as we know that under his guid
ance.
This same spirit will be manifest

VALLEY FOOTBALL SEASON
opens Friday, and once again the
thud of the pigskin will be heard In
the land of grapefruit and oranges
Here in Brownsville we are about
to be Initiated Into the mysteries of
football under the spotlight, after
having taken our softball the same
way for a couple of years.
Due to tfce energy and public
spirit of the Brownsville Kiwanls
club In selling the bonds and the
dtlaenship of Brownsville In buying
them, the lighting equipment for
Tucker Field haa been financed.
Now comes the Job of taking In
enough money at the gate to retire
the bonds.
So—all passes have been discon
tinued.
We are told that in times past
the “free” list has reached as high
aa 150 persons who saw our foot
ball games for nothing.
Our guess is that there will be no
complaints, that those who have
been on the courtesy list will recog
nize that paying customers are
needed If the bond pay-off is to be
made, and will act accordingly.

ANNUAL VALLEY-MADE PRO
ducte exposition has been announced
for the last week in October by the
Edinburg Community club, Edinburg
Chamber of Commerce, and other
Interested organizations.
This exposition is GOOD, the
exhibits are good looking and good

Interest in.
Of course, there are exhibits of
Utilitarian products of the Valley,
but no mere man could be expected
to be as interested in hooked rugs as
In orange marmalade.
At any rate, the live at home pro
ponents will find plenty of ammuni

last week in October rolls around.
This prediction is made on the
basis of what the two preceding ex
positions have shown, and on the
promise of Mrs. H. O. Schlaben that
we have seen practically nothing

and defamation of German Jews”
was telegraphed to Dr. Eduard

Wise, president of the committee of

Referring to anti-Jewlsh laws
proclaimed Sunday after a session
of the reichstag at Numbers, Ger
many. the appeal said:
“Anti-Jewish legislation in the
third lelch represents a regression
to medieval policy with regard to
Jews, and creates in the heart of
the Europe of the twentieth century
a new ghetto for the purpose of
oppressing and dishonoring the
Jewish people.
"By outlawing German Jews, by
carrying on systematically anti
Jewlsh propaganda the world over
ani by spreading racial theories
which imply a negation of the very
principle of equality of rights for
all peoples and races, the policy of
the third relch destroys the basis
of modem civilization and the Lea

of the hopes and Ideals pursued by
the noblest minds of all lands."

NEW ORLEANS. Sept. 1*.—<*»>—
The political machine left by the
late Senator Huey P. Long waa split
wide open Thursday by announce
ments of Lieutenant - Governor

a caucus to be called by him, re
fused to believe they v.ae genuine

The governor ctooeted himself hi
his office with s group of his as
sociates and discussed the an

could not conceive of Noe ana
Martin taking such steps without

governor’s conference. They had
driven from N w Orleans to Baton

Allen J. Ellender. confined to his
bed at Houma with a cold, said
he had not heard of the announce
ments and had nothing to say.
Ellender had been prominently
mentioned as a gubernatorial can
didate and until Noe made his
statement was regarded as stand
ing about equally as strong in the
organization.
Martin virtually had been select
ed to run for the unexplred term
of the late Senator Long but the
statements accompanying his an
nouncement indicated he would of
fer for the regular six year term
beginning in January. 1937.
The announcements came after
