fared several setbacks tc the vet*

that tne veto would be sustained
House leaders pondered on *wo
methods of approach should the
veto be sustained.
In this first real issue with the
White House they were apparently
friendly in attitude rhese courses
were open: *
Objections Pointed Out
1—Revision of the independent
offices bill to place In it less dras-
tic departures from the economy
act.
2 —Enactment of a continuing res-
olution which would make the same
appropriations available (or the m- j
cal year as prevailed during flie
past 12 months.
The objections of the prer.4^.i

passed congress Monday after the
senate made concessions an it* hign

the grounds of budget extenson and
the establishment of a privileged

son opened according to E. F. Mil-
ler sales manager of the Rio
Grande Valley Citrus Exchange
there was no demand for Texas
oranges and the price was down.
The demand quickened immed-
iately after *—* campaign began
and some operators today are over-
sold Miller stated. Not only that
but the price gradually rose until
the last carlo: shipments brought
nearly 15c a box more than the
price which prevailed at the begin-
ning of shipments.
A plan for tmanclng an adver-
tising campaign which will cover
Texas and the Middle West will be
brought before shippers attending
Thuradav night’s meeting Keel*
and Miller stated.
**We feel that any proposal which
has for its purpose a broadening of
the market for Valley grapefruit
and Valley oranges and which seeks
a quickened demand is worthy of
investigation and of serious con-
sideration and for that reason we
sincerely hope that every shipper
of citrus fruit will attend the meet-
ing to be held here Thursday
night" the two stated.

NEW YORK STOCKS
NEW YORK. March 27. -<*>— ]
Stocks pointed sharply downward
Tuesday following news that the
president had requested congress to
pass an exhcange regulatory bill
“with teeth In it."
For half an hour the ticker tape
ran from 1 to 5 minutes behind
floor transactions and leading Issues
dropped 1 to 3 or more points. The
selling rush which found blocks of
1.000 to 6.000 shares appearing then
d ed almost as qulckiy **& i. -n
and moderate rallying tendencies
appeared. Dullness however ac-
companied the recoveries.
Wheat down more than 2 cents
a bushel at one time pared Its
losses. Cotton was off more than 50
cents a bale. Silver and rubber
sagged. Corporation Bonds were
heavy but U. S. government secur-
ities were firm. International dollar
rates improved.
Shares of Allied Chemical Amer-
ican Commercial Alcohol and U. 8.
Industrial Alcohol yielded about 4
each. Those down 1 to 3 included
American Telephone Chrysler Gen-
eral Motors Consolidated Gas U. S.
Steel. Auburn. Western Union Sears
Roebuck. Bethlehem Steel Amer-
ican Tobacco B Case Du Pont. U.
S. Sraeltin American Smeltln
Schenley. National Distillers Oota
Pe N. Y. Central Union Pacific
United Aircraft and Douglas.
Brokerage circles genially rad
come to accept the probability of a
control treasure being enacted this
session. At the same time there ww#
some hope that all of the original
“teeth” would not be present when
the bill became a law. The pres-
ident's reiteration that he was com-
mitted to “define regulation of ex-
changes." consequently was far from
comforting the financial district
With the Washington tidings still
fresh the speculative rank* were
further confused by announcement
of another decline In the price of
stock exchange seats.

(Continued from Page One)
posed to establish a "Rio Orande
Valley" division of the San Antonio
Home Owners Loan corporation of-
fice in which only Valley applica-
tions would be handled.
This recommendation has not yet
been acted upon it is learned.
Would Mean Little
Valley men who have been in-
strumental In the move to obtain
a Valley office of the corporation
pointed out Tuesday morning that
such a procedure would bring little
relief to the Valley in Its efforts
to secure quick action on loan ap-
plications. Lawyers employed in
this division of the San Antonio
office would still be unfamiliar
with Valley land titles. In exam-
nation ana aptpovil of which most
of the delay In granting loan ap-
plications has been exp^XThced.
Cameron county chambers ot
commerce stated Tuesday to The
Herald that their main interest Is
In obtaining a Valley office which
would speed up the granting of
the loans and that It made no
difference to them where the of-
fice was located.
A meeting ot the board of direc-
tors of the San Benito chamber o!
commerce was held early Tuesday
morning when it was decided un-
animously to authorise a wire to
Cong. West stating that irrespec-
tive of location that organization
Insisted upon the establishment In
the Valley 01 either a branch of
the San Antonio office or a re-
gional office ol the Home Owners
Loan corporation.
J. E. Bell manager of the San
Benito organization told The
Brcwnsvllle Herald that speed In
closing the loans Is all his organ-
ization desires and that his cham-
ber of commerce Is willing for the
office “to be placed in Palfurrtas
if only action may be had at
once."
Location No Issue
A. L. Brooks manager of the
Harlingen chamber stated to The
Herald that he had surveyed Hi-
dalgo county and bad found little
opposition to the establishment of
th| branch office in Harlingen
such opposition as developed com-
ing from “poUtlcal circles."
^However we don't give a con-
tinental where the office Is located
at Harlingen or Mission Just as
long as It is established and the
closing of Joans speeded up."
Similar sentiments were express-
ed by O. C. Richardson manager
and W. B. Clint president of the
Brownsville chamber of commerce
and by R. J. Thomas secretary ot
the La Perla chamber.
Brooks of Harlingen told The
Herald that he had received a let-
ter from Cong. West stating that
idea of either a branch or regional
office in the Valley had been
abandoned and that It waa now
proposed to segregate a division
in the San Antonio office to handle
Rio Orande Valley applications.
A telegram of like nature was
also received by Brooks from Sen
Morris 8heppard.
In reply Brooks stated that he
had wired West urging that re-
gardless of poUtlcal expediency the
branch or regional office should
bj established
Idea Abandoned
Move to obtain a regional office
of the Home Owners Loan corpo-
ration In the Valley was Inaugurat-
ed following a conference between
Cameron county commercial secre-
taries and Judge H. L. Yates. Cam-

Doctors throughout the world
agree there is no greater folly than
to buy and take unknown drugs.
Ask your own doctor.
So—when you go into a store

you get it.
Remember that doctors en-
dorse Genuine Bayer Aspirin as

Following this conference a tele-
gram was dispatched to Cong. West
asking that the office be establish-
ed either it Edinburg. Hidalgo
county seat and residence ol J. 0.
Looney. Hidalgo county attorney
for the corporation or at Browns-
ville. Cameron count* seat and
residence of Judge Yates
A short time after the move
was started word was received that
it had been definitely decided to
establish a branch office of the
San Antonlq regional office and
that the Valley office would be
totaled at Harlingen with F. L
Flynn of that cKy in charge.
As the result of the opposition to
the choice of Harlingen which oe-
velqr-sd. the idea of a o. .inch of-
fice seems to have been definitely
abandoned although had there
been no opposition the branch of-
fice would have started to func-
tion on Monday of this week.
Cameron county chambers of
commerce are hopeful that aa a
result of their relinquishment of
all claims to the site of a brancn
office that the proposal will again
be taken up and e branch offtoe
established In Hidalgo county to
serve the entire Valley.
