HOOVERFLAYS
INTOLERANCE
IN CAMPAIGN
Asserts He Does Not
Want Support For
Presidency on Basis
Of Religion
WASHINGTON. Sept. 29.—(AV-
Herbert Hoover announced flatly to-
day that he wanted no support for
the presidency on the basis of re-
ligion.
His declaration was made In a sec-
ond formal statement repudiating a
circular bearing the stamped signa-
ture of Mrs. W illie W. Caldwell re-
publican national eommitteewoman
lor Virginia and appealing to wom-
en to "save the United States from
% being Romanised.”
*‘I cannot fully express my indig-
nation of any such circulars" th-J
republican presidential candidate
said. "Nor can I reiterate too
strongly that religious questions
have no part in this campaign
have repeatedly stated that neither I
nor the republican party want sup-
port on that basics.
"There are important and vital
reasons for the return of the repub-
lican administration but this is not
one of them.”
Hoover’s statement supplemented
one issued last night in which he re-
iterated the declaration he made in
his acceptance speech against re-
ligious intolerance in American po-
litical affairs.
Before he made that speech he
issued the instructions on which Dr.
Hubert Work chairman of the re-
publican party officials and work-
ers that neither religion nor prohi-
bition were to be treated as issues
in this campaign.
Shows Intense Feeling
Before issuing his statement to-
day Hoover conferred with several
of his closest advisers including
William J. Donovan assistant Unit-
ed States attorney general and offi-
cers of the national committee.
W’hen he called newspaper corre-
spondents into his office to make
his statement public he plainly
showed intense feeling.
Hoover declined to go into a de-
tailed discussion of the incident
which led to his renewed declara-
tion but Mrs. Caldwell in a tele-
gram to the republican national com-
mittee amplified her previous in-
formal statement that she had not
authorized the injection into the cir-
cular sent to women in Virginia of
any reference to the religious ques-
tion.
She stated to republican party of-
ficials that she directed the issu-
ance of the circular to volunteer
Hoover workers in the state and
. gave a general outline of what she
wanted to say. Before the circular
was prepared the was called to
» Washington to attend a party con-
ference here and she explained the
literature was sent out in her ab-
sence bearing a facsimile of her sig-
nature.
Work Issues Statement
Chairman Work late today issued
the following statement:
"I have now had opportunity to
investigate the origin of a circular
letter containing reference to re-
ligious questions which have been
issued from a local committee office
in Virginia. I am informed that the
national eommitteewoman did not
authorize the introduction of the re- j
ligious question that she has at-1
ways opposed it as a campaign ques-
tion. The republican party does not
countenance any appeal of this cLrir-
•cter. • * • ” ^
Callers during the day included}
Senator Arthur Vandenberr of Mich-
igan a delegation from The Inter-
national Knights of the Round Ta-
ble and a group of county chairmen
of the Republican Service League of
New Jersey.

nominee would carry his state by
■ three to one. asserting that the dem-
ocrats based their hones on the city

Box Urges Voters
' To Support Smith
DALLAS Sept. 29.—(Jp)—'lf there
were no other issues in the campaign
than the men who heed the tickets!
Congressman Jno. C. Box would favor
Gov. Alfred E. Smith over Herbert
\ Hoover. Box declared today in a
statement released through the state
r democratic campaign committee here j
“I understand the dissatisfaction 1
with the nomination of Gov. Smith.
• but democrats should not lightly
> break their party allegiance.” the
/ statement read.
“Smith fairly declares his position
with regard to liquor but Hoover is
timid secretive and evasive.”
The Texas congressman's state-
1 ment also declared that Hoover was
“badly wrong on the immigration
question.” and that he “proposes
/ nothing substantial for the relief of
farmers.”
Box maintained Smith always had
been a democrat but that neither
democrats nor republicans knew
where Mr. Hoover stood.

Films Require Too
Much 6Flirting9 Is
Statement of Girl
-— A
Too much “flirting” is required of
film folk was the verdict of Miss|
Consuelito Bolado winner of the La
Prensa beauty contest an automo-
bile and a prize trip to California
who returned here Saturday full of
enthusiasm but slightly tired fromi
a continual round of fetes and
parties extending over several
weeks. j
“But don’t you like to see ‘flirt-
ing' in the movies?” an inquirer
pressed. “Well—yes” she hesitantly
admitted but hastened to add “but1
it wouldn’t be all right for me.”
She entertained her friends with
stories of coronations in San An-
tonio and Los Angeles of parties
dances and sightseeing trips and of
seeing and talking to movie stars j
in Hollywood. Especially did she
dwell on the beauty of Lupe Vela
film star and Raquel Torres note!
artist model both of whom she met*
in Los Angeles and Hollywood. Each
was described with the all inclusive
term of “simpatica.” for which there
is no exact English translation.
Twelve winners in the contest
gathered in San Antonio several
weeks ago. Six were Texans and the
other six were from California and
western states.
After several days in the Texas
metropolis the party left for Cali- j
fornia.
Consuelito’s friend end compan-
ion throughout the trip was Min-
erva Perez of Tan Diego. She met
Minerva on .he train cnroute to
San Antonio. The young Browns-
ville miss was so enthralled at the
beginning of the trip “that I never
slept at all on the train. Minerva'
and I talked all night about what
wa« going to take place.”
Newspaper reporters ard camera-"
men met the winners at Los An-
geles. “They made closeups of
Raouel Torres Dora Ostos of La-
redo aifd me. Raquel was very k’nd
to us and was with us most of the
time in California.” she said.
She also told of trips to the Unit-
ed Artists studio where she saw
Lupe Vela and Douglas Fairbanks at
work on a new film. Joan Crawford
and many other stars whose names
she could not remember were met
at cabarets and dinners.
A sight-seeing trip was made to
Catalina island. The glass bottom
boat through which fish and other j
sea life wns seen in the clear wa-
ters excited considerable interest. I
she said.
“It was all very thrilling hut I
was glad to get back and rest.
Dances kept us up every night un-
til late; we even stayed up until 5
o’clock one morning at a cabaret.*'
Before she left when asked what
she would do if offered a chance j
in the movies said she would refuse;
it because there was too much “flirt-
ing.” as she naively put it required;
of the film folk. She reiterated this
view when she returned.
Her parents. Mr. and Mrs. R. E
Bolado. are giving a party in her
honor at their home Sunday after-
noon.

VALLEY FRUIT"
(Continued from page one.)
very little fruit will be ready to
move at the opening of the ship-
ping season. October 1 and it ii
thought that the movement will be
light until after Octol*er 15. How-
ever in size and quality the fruit
seems to he superror to that of
last year.”
Discuss Changes
Mr. Hoidale said that several im-
portant changes in the regulations
governing the movement of fruit
were discussed at the gathering
Saturday. One change from last
year that will be of interest to
packers and shippers he said is
the use of the same kind of tag on
grapefruit oranges and kumquats
instead of having a separate kind
of tag for each of these fruits.
Also the packer this year can han-
dle grapefruit oranges and kum-
quats on the same permit number
whereas it was necessary last year
for him to make three applications
and be granted three separate permit
numbers for use on the different
kinds of fruit.
More Liberal Ruling
"Of especial interest to the owner
of a few trees who ships just a few
boxes of gift fruit out each season
is the fact that the inspector of the
district in which the fruit is grown
will this year issue the permit tags
at no cost to the shipper or grower”
Mr. Hoidale said. "It will be neces-
sary to inform the inspectors as to
the kind of fruit where grown by
whom consignee and for the con-
signor to sign a receipt for the tags.
This method of handling single box
shipments should simplify the meth-
od followed last year considerably.”
Mr. Hoidale said it is requested
that packers' and shippers first get
their maturity stamps from the state
before requesting the federal tags
as there will be some doubt as to
some orchards passing the maturity
tests. The district inspectors are in
a position to issue the federal tags
without 4-lay for fruit grown in
their districts which has been pro-
duced in conformity with the regula-
tions.
Ready For Tests
J. M. Del Curto with the state de-
partment of agriculture at Austin
was in the Valley Saturday helping
to complete arrangements for begin-
ning the green fruit tests.
Headquarters for this work have
been established in the Baxter build-
ing and a corps of about twenty in-
spectors have been scattered out
over the Valley in preparation for
the beginning of the work.
It will be necessary to secure ap-
proval of these officers before any
fruit can be moved.
While the inspection forces are
lining up their work the packing
plant owners are preparing to handle
the fruit and the marketing organi-
zations are beginning to establish-
their connections and to receive or-
ders.
All interested in the citrus crop
are unanimous in their belief tha.
the quality of the fruit and the price
this year will be above that of last
and that the season will be the most
successful the Valley has ever had
if weather conditions remain favor-
able.

PLAN CHURCH
AT PT. ISABEL
Methodists to Start
Constru c t i o n of
$5000 Building
Construction of a $2000 unit of a
$5000 Methodist Episcopal church at
Point Isatel is to get under way as
soon as weather conditions permit
it was announced here Friday by
Rev. H. H. E. Pohl.
The announcement followed a
quarterly meeting of directors held
at El Jardin hotel here at which
time five directors of the Point
Isabel church were re-elected.
The move was made in acceptance
of an offer of a lot by the Pointl
Isabel Townsite and Development Co.!
The lot No. 7 block 28 was offered
with the following conditions:
First: That within one year from
date construction of a permanent
church building will begin and con-
tinue with due diligence until com-
pleted.
Second: That the plsns and
specifications for such building will |
begin and continue with due diligence I
until completed.
Second: That the plans and speci-
fications for such building are ap-i
proved by the company.
Third: The company will further
contribute $500 toward the cost of |
the construction of a permanent
building on said lot within the above
period.
The first unit is to be of brick
with a white atucco finish and will
be of a style of architecture in ac-
cord with buildings now going up at
the Point.
Rev. Pohl expressed himself as
well pleased with the deal and pointed
to the desirability of the lot. It was
said to have a bay view and was in I
a good position to get a maximum i
breeze.
The meeting here was called to or-
der by Dr. John Hierholzer district
superintendent of the San Antonio
district. Rev. Pynes of the San Juan
Methodist Episcopal also was pres- j
ent at the quarterly session.
A building committee of W. H.
Workman and Rev. Pynes of Point
Isabel was appointed by the gather-
ing.
The Point Isabel Methodist Epis- j
copal church has been organized for
four years services having been held
in the old schoolhouse under the di-
rection of Rev. Pohl. After the
schoolhouse was destroyed by fire
service have been held in private
homes at intervals.
