TEXAS RELIEF BILLS RUSHED FOR APPROVAL AUSTIN. Jan. 33 (/P>—Adminis tration sponsored bills to effect a plumed recovery program for Tex as held the spotlight In the legis lature Wednesday. Governor James V. Allred’s Ini tial recommendations to the house and senate apparently were well heeded. Material progress was rec orded for his proposals by a legis lature otherwise relatively Inactive. The backbone of his program, a MU to establish a state planning board to chart the state's future course In relief, rehabilitation and economic recovery, was approved In abort order by a house committee. Optimistic sponsors planned to ask the house Wednesday to suspend Its rules and pass the blU as emer gency. It would develop projects feasible for government recovery funds Sena!* Also Aids Meanwhile the senate contributed its share of co-operation. The spe cial order of the day was a series of nine bills which Governor All red said were necessary to assure Texas’ frill particlpaton In the Na tional Housing Administration bene fits. The bills would conform state banking. Insurance and building and loan association restrictions to N. H. A. regulatons so Texas home own ers and prospective home builders could obtain federal housing funds. The bUls would let Texas financial Institutions Invest in loans Insured by the federal agency. The same program of legislation also held approval of a house com mittee. Speedy dispostion of the state planning board bill would clear the path for requested sus pension of rules for passage of the N. H. A. bills in the house. Apparent co-operation between the legislative and executive branches of the government had all but consummated another admin istration recommended program of legislation to relieve congested court dockets in three counties In the east Texas oil field. Governor Allred proposed re-establishment of spe cial district courts. Tax Remission Approved Bills to continue special courts in Smith and Rusk counties were promptly enacted and became law with the governor’s prompt ap proval. His appointment of Nat W. Brooks of Tyler to- be Judge of the Smith county court was speedily con firmed by the senate. The third bill to provide a per manent and a temporary district court in Gregg county passed the house and was approved by a sen ate committee the day It was In troduced. Senate sponsors hoped to £nd It on to the governor Wednes ty. Another relief measure was speedTTr approved by the governor. It was a resolution to make effec tive Immediately a release of pen alties »nd Interest on property tax es delinquent last August 1. Fail ure of the senate to accord a two thirds affirmative majority to the act of the preceding special session would have delayed its effectiveness until February 9.

Empty Your Gall Bladder And You’ll Feel Like a Billion Dollars! • ! J i * I 1 Arbitration Speeds F. D. s Relief Bill To Congress Debate WASHINGTON, Jan. 23. <*V-Tbe foes that Secretary Harold L Ickes has made on Capitol Hill claimed a victory Wednesday after hearing reports that he would not be the arbiter of the 94,000,000,000 fund to transfer the destitute from the dole to public works. This was a major development in a ‘‘revolt" In which dissenting house democrats wrung a compro mise from the party leadership on a plan to rush a $4,990,000,000 relief and-works pressure through con gress under strict “gag" rule. It was a compromise in which both sides said they gained a meas ure of success As the result of a caucus agreement Tuesday night, democratic leaders predicted the gigantic bill would go through Thursday in a “lump sum" without ear-marking any of the money for Mexico Establishes New Water Office < Special to The Herald > SAN BENITO, Jan. 23.—A new position, that ol water commission er. has been created by the new Mexican administration and a man well known to the Valley, Gustavo P Serrano of Juares, appointed to the place, according to omcial not uicauon received irom him by W. E. Anderson, engineering advisor to the American section ot the Inter national Boundary commission. Serrano at one time was member of the Mexican section of the bound ary commission. Later he was Min ister of Communications and Pub lic Works in the cabinet and then ambassador to Guatemala. Mexico now has a boundary com missioner and a water commission er. Armando Saniacruz, Jr. of Juares is boundary commissioner. In the United States the two positions have been consolidated some yean under the name of boundary com mission and held by L. M Lawson of El Paso. Serrano has visited the Valley several times. Vailey Scouters To Hold Two Meetings Plans for celebration of Soouting’s 25th ann.versary will be made by Valley Scout leaders at two meetings to be conducted this week. Scouters of the lower section of the Valley will meet at 7:30 p. m.. Thursday In Asa Agar’s park in San Benito. Upper Valley Scouters will meet at 7:30 p. m.‘, Priday at Pharr. Scout troops In all parts of the United States will Join In celebra tion programs during the week Feb 8-14. Many troops will hold ceremonies In connection with a national broadcast, according to present plans. The coins of many foreign nations are manufactured In the United States at cost. specfic projects. Thus President Roosevelt would be granted his wish (or free discretion in spending the money. Modified Gag Rale But in answer to demands of in surgents, it was agreed that three sections of the bill, giving the presi dent broad power, would be throe n open to amendments on the floor. Opponents of the powers were try ing to determine Wednesday if they could muster enough votes to gain their ends. The caucus voted 190 to 35 for a modified ‘ gag,” to be introduced Wednesday, which lim its discussion to four hours. One section of the bill opened for amendment would empower Presi dent Roosevelt to continue Ickea as publfc works administrator until June 30, 1937, about two years be yond his present term. Speaker Byms, who is seeking to press the administration program through, had told the caucus that he had received assurances from the White Mouse that President Roose velt himself would distribute the works money, and see that all projects got consideration on “an equal basts.” The word was passed, though not by Byms, that the president had said neither Ickes nor Harry Hop kins. relief administrator, will be come head of the new agency that will administer the vast fund. Both Now Powerful What that means for the future of these men—both known as lead ers in the more "liberar camp of the New Deal—the capital was try ing to figure. Both are now power ful figures in the administration— directing two of the New Deal's most gigantic enterprises. Under the new plan public works and re lief are to be merged and placed under a new agency. Ickes is known to have made ene mies in congress in his expressed determination to direct public works along lines he considers best, en counters between him and some congressmen have led to bitterness. Insurgents claimed another vic tory when Chairman Buchanan <D Tex) of the appropriations com mittee agreed to an amendment un der which the works bill would spe cify no particular project. As ori ginally drawn. It mentioned a long list, but left out irrigator, rivers and harbors and other projects which. In the past, have been close to the hearts of congressmen seeking fed eral aid for their home districts. — .. " 1111 j Phest Colds ....
