The Brownsville Herald sincerely
urges all citrus shippers of the
Valley to attend this meeting.
We feel that the small campaign
just closed should have opened the
eyes of the Valley to the feasibili^
anu the possibilities of newspaper
ad.erUsing as a salesman of Valley
grapefruit and oranges.
Further do we feel that In the
consummation of such plan lies the

bringing the citrus industry out of
th doldrums ol an uncertain mar-
ire* at an uncertain price into the
high breeaes of a good and a
steady market demand.

ALLEGED PLOT
AGAINST F. D.

Advisers Believe That
Whole Matter
Is Joke
""
GARY Ind.. March 27. —OPt—Dr.!
William A. Wirt educator said
Tuesday that “brain trusters”
should seek to “get us out of the
depression first and then bring up
their social reform legislation.”
Sensational Charges
He told of investigations which
he said led him to make sensational
charges that some unnamed advisers
of the president admitted plotting
revolution.
The educator explained his views
only a lew hour. after he said he
had received a death threat from a
person signing himself “a faithful
member of the United States of
America Royal Citizens. Secret So-
ciety.” It carried a Buffalo. N Y..
postmark.
"f reedom Gona”
His charge that within two months
congress will have signed away a
considerable part of the freedom of
the citizens was not a ‘bolt from
the blue” he said but was based on
Information gathered over two
years.
"Our problem is this. ’ he said.
• Bills now before the congress would
in effect Institute an excessive re-
gimentation of business and Industry
by the government.
WIRT TO GET
i CHANCE TO TALK
WASHINGTON. March 27 —
Dr. William A. Wirt. Gary- Ind..
school superintendent is certain to
get a chance to name the "brain
trusters” he charges plotted a revo-
lution in the Roosevelt administra-
tion. . .
The only question was which
branch of government—congress or
the department of Justice — would
1 make the investigation.
An effort will be made In the
house to have a congressional com-
mittee do the Job. Speaker Rainey
on the other hand believes the
justice department should do it.
Several of Pres. Roosevelt’s pro-
fessional advisers termed the matter
a "joke". Most declined to even dis-
cuss it.
On the senate side of the capitol.
Schall ' R-Minn * came forward with
a suggestion that if any one close
to the president were found guilty of
efforts to "substitute communism’’
he should be placed before a firing
i squad.

NATIONAL WHIRLIGIG-NEWS BEHIND THE NEWS
Washington by George Durno — New York by James McMullin
WASHINGTON
LABOR—Events seem to be shap-
ing themselves to establish the
Roosevelt administration as def-
initely a labor government.
Sen. Wagner thinks the thunder
in the automobile and railroad in-
dustries is going to insure passage
of his bill to put real fangs in the
National ;abor Board.
What is more significant in the
fact Wagrer and his colleagues in
this fight feel certain they have
White House support—and that it
will become vocal in a pinch.
Bitter is hardly the word for the

ner MIL Industry Is fighting it as
11 for Its very life. Organised labor
is Just as grimly determined that
the Mil shall become law.
If Pres. Roosevelt Injects him-
self Into the situation as the meas-
ure's proponents hope be will some
ravage resentments will Unger In
the minds of our Industrialists.

RET—The boys who hold the .
rea. key to the automobile situs-;
non are the tool and die makers
who number some 16000.
They have an independent union
01 their own—which seems never-
theless to have strong leanings
toward the American Federation of
Labor.
Theae workers make the pat-
terns dies and tools. They can’t
be replaced because each must
serve a u^g apprenticeship to
acquire his skill. They are the one
branch of the industry that isn't
pretty much mechanised and when
they're off the Job everything
comes to a standstill.

CREDIT—Pres. Roosevelt made
his proposal to Congress for es-
tablishment of 12 industrial credit
banks over the strenuous protests
of Jesse Jones chairman of the
RJ.C.
Jones feels this Is no way to get
credit to the smaller Industries. His
opinion is that the whole Idee ie
a scheme on the part of the Fed-
eral Reserve Board to ret back the
I140.COO.OOO Its member banks were
forced to spend on deposit guar-
antee.
According to Jones it would be
simpler merely to amend the Fed-
eral Reserve Act so as to permit
Reserve banks to make t-year loans
to Industry and eliminate the ex-
pense of setting up the banks—
which th* Federal Reserve would
run away.
