LEGISLATURE !
FACES BUSY
WEEKS AHEAD
AUSTIN. March 23 (^P—All «gns
pointed Saturday toward a definite
stepping up of the forty-fourth leg
islature's activities next week. While
mo6t members were out of town over
the week-end, they faced a congest
ed calendar on their return.
There were indications that the
inevitable jam over resolutions and
Mils was approaching and that legis
lators were becoming apprehensive
over the fat# of some of their pet
projects as well as the matters ol
general application.
Many Bills Face Them
Recently Governor James V. All
red urged the members to work, lon
ger hours and act on the important
subjects he nan submitted, but lat
er he expressed satisfaction over the
new spirit to get things done.
Outstanding on the program oi
the house oi representatives were
measures dealing with regulation oi
public utilities, increasing rural aid
to schools, reenactuig market de
mand provisions of the canaervati
laws and codifying those laws, sub
mitting prohibition modification and
appropriations for departments,
schools and eleemosynary institu
tions.
Awaiting early' consideration by
the senate were the departmental
appropriation bill and a series oi
bills recommended by a crime in
vestigating committee revising crim
inal procedure. A measure to vest all
clemency powers m the state board
of pardons and paroles also faced
early action.
Committees apparently were well
up with their work as a result oi re
peated and prolonged night sessions
and their members were growing
restive under the grind of hearings.
An interesting high spot was the
frequent action of the house in over
turning recommendations of its
committees, particularly the com
mittee on revenue and taxation, and
ordering a number of bills printed
after they had been reported un
favorably. .
Repeal Backers Bu»>
’ Sponsors of prohibition repeal hop
ed to get a repeal resolution already
passed by the senate before the house
early in the week. Parliamentary
procedure was in their favor. A storm
cf debate over the form of submis
sion was certain.
The senate resolution provided
that in the event of repeal sale ot
hard liquor could be only in unbrok
en packages and consumption must
be away from the premises of sale. A
bouse committee eliminated the sale
features and recommended submis
sion of outright repeal.
Under the rules, the senate meas
ure had precedence over others prev
iously introduced in the house, in
cluding a resolution by Represen
tative Emmett Morse of Houston,
providing outright repeal submis
sion and amended to give the legis
lature authority to set up a state
monopoly over hard liquors.
The probable course was for the
senate resolution to get on the floor
of the bouse first and for that of
Morse to be offered as a substitute
Representative Alfred Petsch of
Fredericksburg had pending an
amendment to make mandatory a
etofr monopoly of hard liquors.
Utilities Regulation
The utilities regulation bill had the
itrong support of Governor Allred
tn fact, It was his desire to see it
macted that largely prompted his
wquest for the legislature to ac
celerate its proceeding. It provides
!or creation of a state commission
eith jurisdiction over rates of all
itllities in cities.
The question of appropriations
presented one of the heaviest prob
ems. A bill providing funds for the
ludiciarv for the next two years had
yaased the house, carrying about
lie same figures as at present. A
limilar bill, increasing salaries oi
kwne appellate court judges, still was
pending in the senate, although ap
proved on a test vote.
Representative Homer Leonard of
He Allen said he would seek to bring
ip the detrimental, educational and
lleemosynary bills next week.
Babys’ Department

•nd baby’s needs, as well as the

tory response it wa.- announced

NEW YORK STOCKS
NEW YORK. March 23. (JP»— The
stock market received no fresh
inspiration to balster it Saturday
and prices were pulled irregulary
lower. Trading was about the av
erage for the Saturday short ses
.Nison. The closing tone was heavy.
Transfers aggregated 3 0 0.000
shares.
Faced with indifferent week-end
trade reports, coupled with sagging
grain prices, the congressional snarl
over the work relief bill and week
end adjustment of accounts, the
share market was hesitant from the
beginning and with the exception
o» a few bright spots in nonferrous
metals and isolated cases of
strength in other groups, leaders
went along easily with the down
ward current.
Cotton futures recovered sharply
following the announcement of
Senator George concerning the
probability of the president contin
itaig the 12 cent loan plan, but the
time was too short to allow full re
covery and final prices were 15
cents to 50 cents a bale net lower.
Foreign exchanges were more sta
ble following a sharp recovery of
the Belgian currency which has
kept international dollar rates on
edge for several days. Sterling was
about unchanged and francs only
a trifle lower.
Metal stocks were the only group
showing resistance and leaders had
advanced nearly a point before
yielding part of the gains when it
was announced that Senator
Thomas' silver "inflation'’ amend
ment to the work relief bill had
been cast aside in the senate. Howe
Sound and Roan Antelope retained
advances of about 1-2 point, but U.
S Smelting afld Cerro de Pasco
were unchanged to a trifle lower.
Other divisions also produced a
few firm spots. American Crystal
Sugar preferred was bid up 3
points. Simms Petroleum. Freeport
Texas and American Shipbuilding
got up around one and fractional
advances were shown by Liggett St
Mvers "B" and American Bank
Note.

TOWER DIVE’
TESTER DIES
PARMINGDALE. N Y., March
23 (4*1—James H. Collins, noted
test pilot of military alrplanas, has
made his last “power dive”.
Screaming earthward at more
than 400 miles an hour, he straight
ened out a new Grumman fighting
ship with a snap which he knew
from experience would leave him
momentarily unconscious He had
told friends it would be his last dive
before taking up the quiet life of
an aviation writer.
But the engine and propeller tore
loose from the plane. The craft
spun more than a mile and a half
to the ground, tarrying Collins to
his death.
Collins. 33. was an army-trained
flier. He had been a classmate of
Col. Charles A. Lindbergh at
Brooks and Kellv Fields, Texas.
The test shortly before dusk Pri-;
day was the tenth and last dive
demanded of the "mystery plane’
of navy inspectors.
L. Comdr. Andrew Crinkley, navy
spokesman, said Collins was killed
outright, but two civilians who
were among the first to reach the
wreckage said the flier asked them
to pull him out and then said
’ NAver mind wiping my faae
I’m done ”

Fertilizer to Aid
Big Tomato Crop
Growers of the Lower Rio Grande
Valley have an opportunity for
cashing in on what promises to be
an exceptionally good early tomato
market if they will hasten to ma
turity of their crop through tha use
of a good, standard fertilizer.
The experience of years in tha
Valley has shown that It is the
early tomatoes that bring the best
price on the market. In view of the
fact that the markets are crying
for tomatoes at this time and the
Valley crop is retarded, growers can
harvest, big dividends on a com
paratively small investment in
fertilizer
Now is the time to fertilize to
bring plants to life, enabling them
to put on a sturdy growth capable
of supporting a heavier yield.
Not only is more fnut set by the
properly fertilized plants, but to
matoes are heavier and have more
carrying qualities. Plants, because
they are sturdier, become more re
sistant to disease.
But the big argument in favor
of fertilizer is the fact that it will
enable the grower to market his
crop when the best prices prevail.
The grower who fertilizes will have
ap advantage over his neighbor
who does not make this investment
