BROWNSVILLE, Aug. 30 (UP)—
The Lower Rio Grande Valley
| faced a major flood threat today
as the San Juan river of northeast
Mexico disgorged waters from un-
precedented cloudbursts along its
headwaters into the Ria Grande.
At Rio Grande City, where the<
San Juan empties into the Rio
Grande, the Mexican border
stream climbed to a 27 foot level
and was rising rapidly.
Farther up the San . Juan the
river was said to be in its great-
est flood in 50 years. When that
crest reaches the Rio Grande it
was believed the Rio Grande's
stage would go far above its pres-
ent stags.

full advantage of the federal
alum clearance subsidies for
low-coat housing, under which
the government foots 80 per.

Explosions and fire destroyed the
(400,000 refinery of the Barnsdall
Oil company, five miles from here
today.
Three men were injured critical-
ly; another was hurt. Company of-
ficials said that all 30 men em-
ployed in the plant when th4 ex-
plosion began were accounted for.
Explosion of a butane gas tank
started a series of explosions, fol-

stroyed the large refinery.

That was an interesting ar-
ticle read to the Brenham Ro-
tary club today by M. B. Holle-
mann at the suggestion of the
program committee. It deall
with the famous Rex Tugweh
"Green Belt” project near Wash-
ington. In this governmental ex-
periment, it was sought to pro-
vide low-cost housing for per-
sons with incomes of (1500 to
$2000. But with the usual gov-
ernmental efficiency, when the
project was completed it was
found the cost was $16,000 per
house—a sum far. too high for
persons of this income class to
afford. So certain deductions
were made to allow for inef-
ficiency of labor, cost of school
houses, street*, and other pub-
lic improvements so that the
bookkeeping cost was about
m $5400 per year. It is said that a
rental of $18 to $40 a month
will amortize the cost in -63
years—if the houses stand that
long.

LONDON. Aug. 30 <V.P> The |
British cabinet, in a momentous
session, decided unanimously today :
that Britain ia ready to go "the
fiiti limit” to prevent invasion at 3 j
CzechiMlovakia, highly reliable
sources reported.
The cabinet was said to have 4
given Prime Minister NeviU* ' 1

fax, foreign secretary, a free hand I
In all further moves !
"The full limit” It was explain- -1
ed would he extraordinary offers I
to settle the Nudeten German prob- j
lem amicably, with a warning to 1
Adolf Hitlet that invasion would I
mean war into which Britain
scarcely could avoid being involv-
ed, along with France and other I
European democracies. 4 -
The British cabinet meeting was
held simultaneously with that of |
the French, and it was obvious
that the two powers were work-
ing in close harmony.
The map above shows why
once-powerful Hungary has
reason to line up with Hitler's
Germany. The visit of Regent
Nicholas Horthy, left, Hun-
gary’s "uncrowned king," to
Berlin has brought reports that
henceforth Hitler will be al-
lowed to use Hungary as a
springboard for economic pene-
tration in.the Balkans in return
for formidable military protec-
tion. The Little Entente—
composed of Czechoslovakia,
Yugoslavia and Rumania, all of
which countries gained large
chunks of Hungary after the
war—opposes German-Hunga-
rian friendship because of Hun-
gary's key position. Hitler re-
portedly has 'guaranteed the
boundaries of Hungary, and the
Entente fear* both Germany
^.and Hungary, will benefit
