HPallv injured and another sulfer
Bsd a fractured knee in two auto
r mobile crashes in the upper Valley
£ unday night.
J. V. Rodriguez. 69. pioneer Mc
Allen resident, suffered a fractured
skull and lacerations about the face
when his car was in collision with
another on the McAllen-Reynosa
highway a short distance south of
the city. One car was stalled on the
road and the other collided with It,
according to city officers. Rodriguez
died Monday.
Reynaldo Rodriguez son of the aged
victim ol the Sunday crash, has been
hi McAllen Municipal hospital for
four months after being struck by
an automobile while walking across
a street in the downtown sec turn.
His leg was broken in several places
V. F -Doc" Neuhaus, widely known
South Texas drilling contractor who
has rigs operating in the Samfordvce
field of southwestern Hidalgo coun*
ty. suffered a fractured knee in the
second Sunday night accident. Blind
ed by the bright headlights of an ap
proaching car while enroute from
the oil field to McAllen, he crashed
into the rear of a heavy sedan said

Neuhaus' knee had been previously
injured and it is expected that he

KENEDY ROAD
(Continued from Page One)
for the start of construction on the
road. ar\d the Kenedy county road
row has the same status as a lot of
other roads in Texas which have
been given the approval of the State
Highway Department, it's "just an
other road to be built."
And the highway commissioners
ana their state highway engineer
are as happy as any one that the
status of the road is settled and
Oilchrist in particular is loud in his
§ raises of the manner in which
enator Neal has engineered the
settlement of the controversy which
has raged around this road for years
and which has given the toad a
prominence that it never really de
served
"Senator Neal came up here de
termined to do everything in his
power to bring everybody together
and get the road." Gilchrist told the
writer. "And he went about it in
auch a calm and reasoning and sen
sible manner as to disarm every
body and to create an actual sym
pathetic understanding on the part
of everybody. He quickly caught the
viewpoint of the highway depart
ment and worked in sympathy with
the department. As a ranchman
himself, he had the viewpoint of
the ranch owners of Kenedy county.
As senator from the district which
Includes the Valley, he had the view
point and the interests of his con
stituents. and he was able to merge
the viewpoints of all and get the
situation in such a shape that the
building of the road is now assured"!
Invaluable aid was given the sen
ator by Reoresentatlve Celava and
Judge Oscar Dancy, in Gilchrist’s
opinion
They are watching the Valley up
there in Austin, especially In and
around the highway department. • i
Out Of Headline*
The smile of pleasure (hat Gil
christ gave on being informed of the
progress being made on the Mata
moros-Victoria highway, and the
questions he asked about the road
were certain sure indications.
With the road to Victoria and the
Kenedy county road completed, a
great trek of tourist travel through
the Valley Is envisioned by Gilchrist.
As a matter of fact, it has been the
potential traffic to be created by the
road, rather than the present need
that has always attracted the state
highway engineer.
But anyway the matter stands at
present. Gilchrist feels assured
that the right of way deeds will be
forthcoming. He has at his dispos
al an allocation of $75 000 with which
to provide the Initial grading and
structures. His engineers are work
ing on plans and specifications
Right of wav men of the department
are on the job. First stretch of the
road, from Riviera in Kleberg
county to Santa In Kenedy county
will be under construction within
the next fio or 90 days. And Gib
Gilchnst, state highway engineer,
and all three commissioners are
iieklad as am one that the Kenedy
county road is out of the headlines
