Valley Boy’s Brother
In Destroyers’ Crash
HARLINGEN. May 14.— Louis
Edward IUin of McAllen who left
here Monday morning for Houston
to take final examinations prior to
enlistment in the navy, told V. A.
Hughen. navy recruiting officer,
that he has a brother on one of the
destroyers which were in collision
in Pacific naval maneuvers Sunday.
The brother recently re-enlisted af
ter serving one “hitch."
Albert Johnson Wilson of La
Feria left with Itzin to Join the
navy
Hughen said that probably three
men would be taken from the Valley
next month and that the quota for
this district probably would be
around five or six after that due
to expansion of the navy under the
new act of Congress.
The number of enlistments might
be greater at this time if it were
not for the fact that so many are
re-enlisting in the navy because
they see advancement and a career
ahead under the expansion program.

DUST BOWL IS
WASHED CLEAN
General Crop Advancement
Loads to Belief Area To
Make Come-Back
KANSAS CITY, May 14. —VP)—
Looking into the southwest’s dust
bowl washed clean by welcome
rains, observers Tuesday found:
Reports of general crop advance
ment.
Improvement In health condi
tions in the 18,000,000 acre area
after weeks of dust storms.
Heaviest precipitation in three
years at some points.
Smiles of encouragement.
Rains fell in virtually all sec
tions of the giant bowl, comprising
parts of Kansas, Colorado, New
Mexico, Oklahoma and Texas.
Harder rains fell on the edges,
filling streams to flood levels in*
Kansas and Oklahoma.
There were «<ud puddles at
Prairie Center, Colo., the com
munity that asked the nation to
join in prayer for relief. Precipi
tation measured one inch and *
half—the heaviest in three years.
8cott City. Kas., reported more
than an inch oj rain—the best in
two years—and farmers looked to
com and sorghum crops to replace
Ill-fated wheat plantings.
As much as two Inches of rain
was reported in Norton county.
Kas., scene of numerous dust
barrages.
Prof. R. I. Thorckmorton, Kan
sas 8tate College agronomist, said
rainfall “would make a wheat crop
in the cgntral portion of Kansas.’*
Herb Cavett, Beaver County,
Okla., farm agent, predicted moist
ure would “bring back'* the cattle
business. He said 24.000 head of
cattle, shipped out of the country
since last fall, may be returned.
Exemption Exchange
Forms Are Received
(Special to The Herald)
SAN BENITO. May 14.— FVjrms
for exchanging 1934 surplus cotton
tax exemption* certificates for 1935
certificates have been received by
the county agent's office, according
to Prentess Edmiston, assistant in
cotton control.
Those holding the old certificates
are being urged to exchange them
as soon as possible in order to pre
vent a rush when the ginning sea
son gets under way.
Only those who have a legal right
to certificates will be permitted to
exchange them. Trading in cert
ificates is illegal.
INFLATION AHEAD!
(Continued from Page One)
under high rales, but even with this advantage the tax load will be
heavier.
Social laser* nee will be an added load.
Theee prospects on taxes are reasonably certain, regardless of
what regime holds the government, 1937-41. There la no other way out.
Political Imponderables:
Commeiilem: Not much chanoe of It In the U. B. at any
within the visible future.
Share-the-wealth: This movement, as represented by a hair
down leading demagogs, is rapidly growing. It is already evident that
the Roosevelt party in 1936 will be the middle-of-the-road party.
War: It is always possible. For the next two or three years It
does not seem probable. Before the end of the Ws it may come. It Is
one of the many factors which may knock all neat predictions, all pat
terns of expectations. Into a cocked hat
Despite theee Imponderables, an EFFORT to appraise the future,
especially on Inflation, seems worth while.
WASHINGTON INFLUENCES
Washington Influences in next few months will be generally re*
pressive on business confidence. This is not an absolute or a dogmatic
judgmet. and there are those who think otherwise.
But consider some of the influence.
Congress will be in session until June. There will be of its
continuing through the summer, but this will not happen. Congress is
always worrisome to business, especially under reform regimes.
Holding company legislation, regardless of any question of desir
ability or merit, will act as a temporary depressant'
Gesture against corporation “bigness" will grow out of the hold
ing company legislation. It may not be serious, It may not result ac
ually in any severe restrictions on size, but it will make anxiety.
Social security legislation, regardless of merits for the long pull,
wlH cause anxiety to business during the next few months.
Inflation moves In Congress, especially those contemplating large
new Issues of paper money, will make for alarm. Under some circum
stances If business were further advanced, if active recovery had set In.
i speculative boom might be caused by new inflation measures in Con
gress. But at present the effect is contrary.
Actual enactment of any mandatory currency inflation seems
doubtful, in view of the administration’s opposition. But the bare pos
sibility, and the observation that the administration from time to time
is forced to compromise, will create nervousness.
TWA MERELY “SUSTAINING"
Public works spending probably should not be regarded as posi
tively stimulating to business. It is merely SUSTAINING. It merely
keeps business from slipping backward. It also postpones the transition
from major reliance on public spending to restoration of full reliance
an private capital spending. Another point to be borne In mind is that
the public works program for the next year is really not any greater
than for the past year, despite all the ballyhoo. Thus, it is merely a
CONTINUATION of the sustaining force of the pest.
Relief and unemployment will continue high. The work-relief
program wlH NOT furnish Jobs to all employables, as officials claim.
Hence the dole will continue for a long time yet.
The reform urge: For purposes of this discussion no attention is
paid to the question of whether reforms are “good" or “bad", meritori
ous or otherwise. Effort is limited to appraisal of the short-range ef
fect of these reforms on business progress and recovery. It seems evi
dent that the reforms will represent a "spring frost" on budding busi
ness confidence, and will delay business recovery to some undeterminable
extent. Allowance for this influence has been in all the appraisals of
he prospective course of business within the next year, as set forth in
■arUer letters. It constitutes one reason why these observations are
somewhat less •bullish" for the short pull than many comments pub
lished these days.
