ASKS DEFICIT
FIDS FIRST
Treasury Head Says
New Tax Revenues
Should Go Toward
Erasing Debt
WASHINGTON. Aug. I. —
Secretary Morgen thau told the
senate finance committee Thurs
day he hoped congress would pro
ride that the proceeds of the new
taxation you are considering shall
be preserved scrupulously for the
purpose first, or reducing the defi
cit, and, later, of reducing the public
debt.”
Without making any specific re
commendations on the new tax bill,
tlie soft-spoken treasury chief said
ordinary expenditures of the govern
ment were being held within re
ceipts. but that additional revenue.
In prospect "which will necessarily
fall short of meeting our full needs
(Including our emergency) does not
warrant any additional expenditures
outside our budget plans "
"Any such new or additional ex
penditures." he asserted, "would
not conform to the best interests of
the national credit.”
The treasury secretary read a
brief prepared statement to the sen
ate commute in which he pointed
out he had made a statement to
the house ways and means commit
tee including a long list of tax
ranges for its consideration. He said
the treasury would make "freely
available ’ to the finance group all
data it has gathered on taxation.
Concluding his statement Morgen
thau said he wanted "to add an
earnest word as to the use to which
any additional revenue that the pro
rfd new taxes will produce should
put. Ordinary c%>enditures for
the general purposes of government
have been held within the revenues.
“We have incurred and are in
curring large emergency expendi
tures according to a carefully plan
ned program For the sole object of
caring for the urgent needs of our
citizens and promoting recovery.
Additional revenue which vfll ne
cessarily fall short of meeting our
full needs will not warrant new or
adidtional expenditures outside our
budget plans Any such new or ad
ditional expenditures would not
oonform to the best Interests of the
national debt.
"I hope the congress will provide
that the proceeds of the new taxa
tion you are considering shall be
preserved scrupulously for the pur
pose. first, of reducing the public,
and. later, of reducing the public
debt.

Dr J. M Does, on the south edge
oi production.
The Harrison test was virtually
cleaned Wednesday night on 3-32
inch tubing choke with 80 pounds
tubing working pressure and no
pressure showing on casing. The|
test had the Samfordyce oil sand
at 2,745-53 feet and set pipe at
2,748 feet. It is in Tract 12. Portion
41 about 6.100 feet east of discovery.
The Windsor No. 3 Doss, about
4.650 feet southeast of discover)', in
tract 278, portion 40, is about clean
ed and no pressures are yet showing
on either tubing or casing. It has
oil sand at 2.748-53 feet with casing
set at 2.744 feet.
me iieias eastern eage weu,
Curtez Oil Corporation's No. C-l C.
E. Smith, about 6.900 feet east of
discovery, is showing signs of de
veloping gas pressure sufficient to
make it a flowing producer through
casing perforations at 2.753-55 feet.
Jt is standing with about 600 pounds
on casing and 30 pounds on tubing.
In the western section of the
held. W. P. Lacy’s No. 1 Seabury et
ai, about 1.950 feet northwest of
discovery, drilled plug Wednesday
and is running liner and tubing
atfer coring the saturation at 2,761
61 feet.
One test is coring the Samfordyce
horizon and others are making hole
in the area.
About 6.903 feet east and slightly
north of disoovery. the field’s,
northeast outpost, Harrison-Double
D’c No. 3 Mrs. Lula George, cored
i the top of the gas sand at 2.705 feet
late Wednesday and continued cor
ing.
About 500 feet north of discovery |
King-Woods Oil Company’s No. 6
Piancisco Guerra, is drilling below
1,200 feet.
The field's western outpost. Gem
Oil Company's No. B-2 Seabury' et
al. nearly 4.200 feet northwest of
discovery, is making hole below
1.900 feet.
A very important semi-wildcat
will probably get under way late
this week on location in the north
can of tract 12, porcion 41, about
3,500 feet northeast of discovery. It
.•dll be Mundy-Stevens’ No. 1 Fran
cisco Guerra and will go to 4,000
ieet or production. If it finds the
Samfordyce horizon productive on
that location, it will undoubtedly
result in considerable drilling in an
effort to prove a dome in the Sam
fordyce area. This theory has been
helc by several operators since the
field was opened up but four tests
a mile and a half north of discovery
and along State Highway 4 which
it suited in dry holes temporarily
balked further drilling on that
theory. Production apparently curves
northeast from the present produc
ers at the eastern edge of the field
and the chief ooject of the Mun
day-Stevens test is to determine
whether or not the dome exists.
The location is slightly northwest
of the easternmost producers.
In wildcat areas, chief interest
' centered in the Gulf States Oil
Company’s No. 1 John Engelman,
in lot 3. block 70. Las Mestenas
grant, eight miles northeast of Ed
it ourg. Production is estimated at
letis than 75 barrels of distillate
daily and 23,000.000 cubic feet of
fiat through quarter-inch choke un
der 1.550 pounds pressure. Sand is
reported at around 6.700 feet.
Five miles south of Mission. Mad
dox-Tumbull-Irwins No. 1 John H.
Shary, is making hole slowly in hard
shale at 5.430 feet.
In Willacy county, King-Woods
Oil Company’s No 1 Santa Rosa. Is
dri’ling in hard shale at 4.920 feet
on a 5.000-foot contract.
ADVERTISING
NEED IS SEEN
Fruit Official Says Citrus
Industry Depends On
Telling World
W B. Clore. official of the Amer
ican Fruit Growers, Inc., and one |
oi the founders of this nationwide
distributing agency of fruits and
vegetables, is owsvinced that there
is a great future for Valley grape
fruit, “if growers and others of the
industry will realize the essential
nceo of advertising your product.”
Fresh from the northwestern
Winesap apple deal which was put
over in the face of adverse circum
stances largely through the power
of advertising, Mr. Clore is spend
ing some time in the Valley in
consultation with Jack Keefe, man
ager of his firm's Valley branch at
Weslaco.
“The quality or Valley grapeinm
is fine. You have a fine product to
advertise and advertising would
undoubtedly help the marketing
and distribution of the product, and
would help to secure a better price."
Mr. Clore stated while in the office
of The Brownsville Herald Thurs
day morning.
“Margin of profit of shippers and
distributors is so slim that they
cannot afford the advertising ex
pense,’ he continued." and only by
making a per box deducation can
an advertising campaign be finan
ced. This was the procedure follow
ed in the Washington Winesap apple
deel. and the growers were satisfied
with the results obtained.”
Marketing oi the wasningion crop
of apples and the advertising cam
paign which accompanied it pre
sented a problem in that apples are
produced in every state in the union,
Mr. Clore stated. It was finally
decided to feature* the merits of
Winesap apples, produced in the
Northwest and in Virginia, and the
campaign proved most successful.
Retailers in cities the country over
featured the Washington Winesaps
in their local advertising, cashing
*n on the national advertising cam
paign, and at the end of the season I
tne price had risen from a low of
70c to a high of around $2.00 per
boy. according to Mr. Clore.
The American Fruit Growers of
ficial is no stranger to the Valley.'
having entered this territory in the
early days when lettuce was raised
and shipped from the San Benito
territory m 1912. 1913 and 1914.
In the early 1920’s the American
Fruit Growers established a Valley
branch at Mercedes, taking over the
refrigerating and ice plant of the
Borchelt interests, owners of the
Mercedes Creamery. The company
later abandoned this part of its
Valley business venture, and es
tablished its headquarters in Wes
laco.
“It Is impossible to make a ore
diction on what market conditions
wT be when the Valley's citrus crop
is moving.” Mr. Clore said, "but it
doer, appear that conditions will be
better than last season, and that
the crop, especially around the
Brownsville section, will be larger
than that of the 1934-35 season.”

Thursday that the Nazi guards must

The soldierly blackcoats, picked

The Schutz Staffel said national
