BROWNSVILLE. Dec. 14— (JP)—
The battle of the potato stamps
continued today.
W. E. MpDavitt, Brownsville
shipperjJ-declared 100 cars of po-
tatoes awaited shipment from the
lower RimGrande valley and AAA
tax exemption stamps had been
received for only 25 cars. He said
he would start shipping the tu-
bers Monday| morning in violation
of the control act unless there were
sufficient stamps available then to
cover all ready for shipment.
At College Station, K. J. Ed-
wards, Texas supervisor of the va-
rious agricultural control prograpis,
insisted an ample supply of starpps
to take care of present needs had
been placed in the hands of county
agricultural agents and future
needs, to permit an uninterrupted
movement of the crop, would be
“fully supplied!’
"Stamps for 1(>,000 bushels of po-
tatoes have already been placed in
the hands of county agents and
stamps for 30,005 more bushels are
in the mails,” he said.
Henry Alsmeyety Cameron county
agent, asserted he had been noti-
fied that only 5,005 stamps were in.

Edwards contended that “re-'
ports the last few days tfiat farm-
ers. were losing heavily due to lack
of stamps and that stamps could
not be obtained, have been consid-
erably exaggerated.j During pre-
vious years,” he said, “the fall po-
tato crop in the Rio Grande valley
has been harvested during Decem-
ber, January .and February—not
during the first part of December
as Rio Grande valley reports have
indicated.”
McDavitt replied that the bulk of
the crop was ready for shipment
from Dec. 15 to Jan. 1-5, only a
small percentage remaining after
the latter date.

RANGER CHIEF

AUSTIN Tex , Dec, 14
(A») — Governor James V.
Allred told a_ legislative in-
vestigating committee in a
tense hearing today that
Tom Hickman, Ranger cap-
tain recently discharged had
failed to close gambling esta-
blishments as ordered and
had staged a fajro raid.
The hearing was held im-
mediately after the govern-
or dramatically appeared in
the capitol press room,
where members of the com-
mittee were conversing, ana
demanded that he be allow-
ed to testify as to events
leading up to Hickmans
release by the Public Safety
department.
j In a statement read into the rec-
ord, Governor Allred. In addition
to charging that the former ran-
ger captain had been dilatory In
moving against gambling resorts,
declared politic* was behind the In-
vestigation and that public offi-
cials had been slurred.
He asserted that while he was
governor “Mg * shut** gnmbllng
could not operate In Tsxnz arid the
state was not yet ready for the
"gross liberallMTi of Chicago or the
big-time racketeers of the east."
DurinS cross-examination by
Chairman Sam Hanna of Dallas
and Rep. John Atchison of Oainea-
ville, he pounded the table with
hi* fist* and shouted i. denuncia-
tion of what he said was the “un-
fair” manner in which the majori-
ty had conducted the investigation.
Rep. J. B. Ford of McGregdr; the
other committeeman, also was
present.
The governor’s visit to the press
room followed a declaration by
Atchison that he would not ad-
mit Allred's statement Into the rec-
cord unless it was given at a formal
hearing.
‘Tm ready to testify right uow.t
he shouted, bursting Into the room,
"Get a court reporter to take tbs
testimony and ask me any ques-
tions you want to.”
A reporter was hastily summon-
ed from the oounty courthouse, and
a Utile group of committeemen,
the governor, his secretary, and
newspapermen marched to a house
of representatives committee room.
They were soon joined by I*
Phares, chler of the safety de-
partment, and Ranger Captain J.
W, McCormick, who had figured in
previous testimony.
The governor tesUfled that early
in hi* administration he had Or-
dered Hickman to raid a resort
near Fort Worth and the ranger
failed to do so. He said that a
little lated Ranger Captain rred
McDaniel seized large qqafftlties
of gambling equipment at the
place, and that as long as McDan-
iel was ntatloned at Fort Worth
the resort was closed.
After the safety department was
organised and Hickman waa made
senior captain, the governor con-
Unued, Hickman instructed rangers
to make no gambling raids ex-
cept on direct orders from him,
and created a “shoestring” district
under his charge to Include aU tbs

"After several oral instructions to
Tom Hickman to pat a stop to
these ‘big shot' gambling houses,
Phares wrote a letter to him giving
him written instructions to doss

The governor said that subee-;
