end when officers found no liquor
they demanded information con
cerning the whereabouts of a ‘‘load ”
According to Hernandez, the offi
cers then assaulted them, killing
Oliva rea.
Officer* Deny Story
This atory la emphatically denied
by the officer*. According to them,
they atopped Hernandez and Oli
vares as they were driving out of a
aide road near Santa Mana. Her
nandez. they say, was very drunk
but that Olivares was fairly sober
They talked to Olivares for a while,
and then went with him to the
house of Rosalio Perez, leaving Her
nandez in the car. After talking
some time at Perez home, they left
Olivares there and went on to La
Ferla to consult with Deputy Sher
iff Ernesto Yznaga.
The officers assert that they had
definite infoimation on a "load" to
go through the Santa Marla section
Monday morning, and they are of
the opinion that the bootleggers in
Question saw Olivares talking to
them and thought he was inform
ing on them. This, the officers be
lieve. led to the slaying of the man
after they had gone to La Feria.
Hernandez was taken to a hospi
tal at Harlingen Monday morning
where he first told his story which
started the investigation. The San
ta Rosa rancher had two teeth
knocked out and there were num
erous bruises and scratches on his
body.
Found tn Field
The dead man was louno m a
field near the Perez home, about a
mile and a half from where his car
was tound on the highway. Mrs.
Perez, who is expected to prove a
key witness ip the case, is said to
have found Olivares before he died
•t which time lie asked for a
blanket, saying he was "getting cold."
Both Olivares and Hernandea
were employed on Uie Yznaga ranch
which is located in the Santa Rosa
section.
The evidence in the case, as gath
ered by the sherifis department, is
being presented before the court of
inquiry Assistant County Attor
ney Jack Welch.

_
WASHINGTON. Dec. II. The

to stir up “revolt"* and dlssatlslac
uon in the nation’s armed forces,
and asked lor remedial legislation.
Appearing before the house com
mittee investigating unAmerican ac
tivities. Brigadier General Allred
T. Smith of the war department
said, however, that “it appears these
efforts have not met with a great
deal of success. ’ I
Quoting pamphlets and documents
distributed among men in the reg
ular army, the Reserve Officers
Training Corps. Citizens’ Military
Training Camps and the Civilian
Conservation Corps as well as the
navy and marine corps, Smith said
reports indicated that some of that
• literature ha* been passed out by i
children of early school age- '
One such pamphlet, he added
said:
• We seem to take it for granted
that a civil war will follow declara
tion of war. But our task is to work
to organize against an imperalistic
war we must penetrate the armed
torces and organize inside.”
Smith quoted from other docu
ments given to communistic work
ers. urging them to “enlist a few
comrades directly into the army, I

New York and spread claS6 con-i

two days of the session.
The state house buzzed over the
measure Tuesday as the house pre
pared to pass the bills and send
, them to the senate at 9 p. m. (E S.
IT.) for reference to committee be
fore the upper body passes them
Thursday.
The house will concur in all
amendments the same day. and an
other of Long's special sessions —
the third this year —will be fmish
ed.
When the “teacher patronage’’ bill
I came before the house ways and
means committee Monday. Long
sketchily explained that It merely
gave the state budget committee
power to compel parishes to allow
children from other parishes to at
tend their schools.
Printed copies of the bill reveal
ed that the act also granted the
budget committee supervision of
the appointment of all school
teachers.
That committee Is composed of
Gov. O. K. Allen. State Superin
I tendent of Education T. H Harris
and State Treasurer J. 8 Cave, all
elected with Long’s support.
Other bills were packed with as
much dynamite. A number pres
cribed punitive measures for the
New Orleans administration of
: Mayor T. 8emmes Walmsley. Longs
antagonist in the “armed’’ Septem
ber primary, which Long’s forces
I won.
8till others in the hopper carried
along the senator s banner of “hit
the corporations’* and help the
I "poor folks."
For the third time this year Long
raised the corporation franchise
, lax to bring In a half million dol
1 lars in added revenue with which
i he plans to establish schools of
{dentistry and pharmacy at New
{Orleans. The present act Increases
the tax from $1.50 to S3 on each
| $1,000 capital stock.
There was talk about the eapltal
that Long was planning a new
coup by tacking an amendment on
an apparently harmless bill deal
ing with state liquor levies and
exempting Louisiana-made wines
from taxation.

lustnal leaden. meeting to promote
■ooperaiion with the admimstra
ion. received Tuesday with mixed
>! unions the plan lor a nation
wide net-work ol federal lending
igencies.
Some members privately expreaaed
louht of the practicability of the
>lan, recommended to Secretary

reasury department lnveatlgatora.
Phey declined to be quoted, how
ver. explaining that the meeting
tself may take up the subject.
Tliere wa* Informal comment that
individual banka should become
no re active immediately in lending
roney. with opinion divided aa to
whether there snould be a cessation
if government lending.
Determination was evinced by the
K) business executives, meeting aa
he "Jomg business conference
or recovery,’* to end what la re
tarded as a period ol exile from
[overnment councils.
One basic principle—that there
hould be a continuing committee
o present all business—underlay
■lie study for a permanent liaison
n the capital among various busi
ness organizations, which could
x>ice effectively the views of com
nerce before the administration
aid congress.
The executives were careful to
ivoid the implication they are sat
ing up a lobbying organization.
Phey explained the theory behind
he idea of tlie uaison is simply
hat business has failed to present
ts views adequately, and that ita
•fforts in the administration hava
leen so diffused as to be ineffective.
