BAILEY AVERS
LOYALTY ISSUE
NON - EXISTANT
• Concluding a week of campaign-
ing that has taken him from Wash-
ington to Sherman and then from
Dalhart through Amarillo. Lub-
bock. San Angelo and Del Rio. Joe
W. Bailey Jr. congressman at large
from Texas brought his candidacy
for the U. S. Senate to Brownsville
Saturday night. He continued his
..criticism of Jesse Jones. Amon G.
• Carter and other prominent Tex-
ans who are opposing his candidacy.
He also chided Sen Connally for
"promising the Valley more than
- he delivered.”
Outlines Platform
Bailey outlined his platform
which includes opposition to the
Ickes bill which sought he said to
take from Texas the right to reg-
ulate its greatest industry that of
oil. Bailey said that Connally had
‘ so far refused to state his stand on
• this issue and further observed
•< that his opponent wa* hard to j
• "smoke out’’ on controversial is- j
sues The candidate said that he ad- !
vocated the expansion of foreign
. trade pointing out that Texas was
the largest exporting state. He ad-
vocated a readjustment of the tar-
iff in order to restore the $4000.- i
000.000 of foreign trade that has
vanished since the beginning of the
depression. Bailey voted for the re-
ciprocal tariff bill in this congress.
He proposed to aid re-employ-
ment by a policy that would bring
about decentralization of industry
by reducing the size of the great
corporations. He said that the
• breaking up of billion dollar cor- ;
porations Into their constituent
parts would result In the re-employ- '
ment of tremendous numbers of the !
millions now enforcedly idle. Bailey :
said that he favored the right of la-
bor to bargain collectively. He like-
wise advocated the immediate pay-
ment of adiusted service certifi- j
cates. He discussed In detail his
vote to override the veto of the
independent offices bill. "I voted for
the bill all the way through be-
cause I believed that it was just
and fair and right. Sen. Connally
voted for it until the president ve-
toed it. and then he turned his back
on his comrades and voted against
his convictions for a mess of poli-
tical pottage promised him by Jesse
Jones 8111iir.au Evans and others
of the group of Texans in Wash-
ington." It was because of this vote
that Connally‘s friends brought out
the issue of loyalty to the president.
Bailey charged.
Denies Loyalty Iwur
‘ There is no such issue however.
I have voted for as many adminis-
tration measures as Sen. Connally.
I have supported the democratic
platform in every detail and the
president on most questions. I have
only differed with him when I felt
that the interests of Texas demitid-
ed that I differ with him ”
Bailey referred to an alleged en-
dorsement of Sen. Connally by the
Rev. Atticus Webb at Houston Fri-
day. Connally was unwilling to
come to Texa*. to aid his colleague.
Sen. Sheppard last summer. Bailey
said. He reminded his audience
that he had stumped Texas for re-
peal in accordance with the presi-
dent and the democratic platform.
He said he would oppose the re-en-
actment of national prohibition as
proposed by Sen. Sheppard. Friday.
‘ and called upon Sen. Connally to
state his stand on that question.
Bailcv vdas introduced by Vol-
ney Taylor. He had spoken earlier

‘BRAIN TRUST’
CHICAGO. June 16 4*1—Attacks

SAN SALVADOR FEELS STORM’S WRATH

NRA RESULTS I
POINTED OUT
BY ROOSEVELT
CHARLESTON. W. Va.. June 1*.
(JPi—Pres. Roosevelt in a message
to West Virginia and the nation
Saturday declared that “fear of
disaster has given way to faith in
united action" in the first full year
since the National Recovery Act
was enacted.
"Millions of discouraged and suf-
fering unemployed found their
names on payrolls again.'’ said Mr.
Roosevelt's message. "The evils of
child labor and of starvation wages
have almost everywhere been abol-
ished The Blue Eagle found it* way
into more than two million places
of business.
•Not Through Yet’
"Now that the year has passec
the National Recovery administra-
tion under the leadership of Gen.
Johnson and with the assistance of
thousands of unselfish men and
women can rightfully and properly
celebrate its first anniversary. ***
"We have spread employment
we have raised pay and we are not
through yet.”
For West Virginia it wa* the
day of a double celebration—the
first anniversary of NRA and the
71st of the formation of the state
of West Virginia. The president’s
message wa^> delivered ffirough
Gov. H. G. Kump. . t . \
Coal miners from the hills gath-
ered for the celebration and took
part in a gigantic parade. Six army
airplane* escorted Hugh 8. John-
son the NRA administrator and his |
aerial party from Washington.
Johnson Is Honored
City and state officials at a din-
ner In honor of Gen Johnson were
told by him "this celebration is the
most inspiring sight I have ever
seen.’*
Donald R Richberg. general
counsel for the NRA addressed a
gathering of lawyers in his honor.
Then in Laidley Athletic field a
crowd estimated by state police at
8.000 heard the message from Pres.
Roosevelt read by Gov. Kump. who
described it as "a message on the
emancipation of industry.”
Beside the governor as he spoke
from a flag-decorated stand an
eagle peered through iron bars at
the crowd below. It was sent from
Mount Hope by a man who said it
i* "the original blue eagle.”
Gen. Johnson went back to Bibli-
cal times to ftnd his description of
those who oppose the NRA; he de-
clared the Clarence Darrow review
board is communistic in purpose and
assailed "partisan politicians” op-
posed to NRA.
"When the tale of this first year
of NRA ha.> been written into pages
of history no man will question the
high purpose and successful effort
of the president to write into the
cruel ledgers of pure commercial-
ism at least a little of the doctrine
that came down to us from a mount
on the shores of Genessaret ' John-
son said.
‘Mercenary Polluter*
“In that day the scribes and
Pharisee* had only one answer to
any advocate of human improve-
ment. an dit was crucify him ' They
have no other answer now.'“ he said
in departing from his prepared ad-
dress.
"The scribes were then as now.
mercenary polluters of the springs
of human knowledge subsidized
writers of news and editorial com-
ment.
"They have never changed but
are you after 2.000 years the gaunt
and ignorant Arabs of the Pales-
| tine plain? Do you not see. can you
not know that from Golgotha to
this day. no one ha* done more to
temper man* Inhumanity to man.
| than has been done in this short
year by Franklin D. Roosevelt
president of the U. S ?”

ELSA UPSETS
SHIPPING DOPE
•Special to The Herald)
ELSA June 16 —Stored carrots
thieatened to upset the Valley
shipping race this week
Elsa had been very near the top
in the annual race but this week she-
pulled an ace in the hole to go in-
to a tie with Mercedes for second
place and to threaten San Benito
at first.
P. H Vahbing 4c Co. stored a
large uuir.ber of carrots when the
season slacked off. These stored
carrots started moving to market
this week as the demand strength-
ened. and as a result Elsa's total
in the shipping race began picking
up immediately. Elsa shipped 11
carloads of carrots and five of corn
giving her a grand total of 16 for
the week Thi» was enough to make
a total of 1.231 cars for the seas-
on. all vegetables tying Mercedes
for second place. Mercedes had a
total of 1.231 cars made up of 1.003
vegetables. 224 fruit and lour mixed
fruit and vegetables.
£an Benito did not ship during
the week and her total remained
at 1.244 still good for first place.
McAllen's single shipment of car-
rots this week sent her season total
to 1.210.
It is believed that storage of
carrots and iiossibly oilier products
may become more general in the
future if facilities are provided. It j
happened that supplies of carrots \
this week were light but the local
firm reached into its storage vaults
and sold at a good price. The car-;
rots are shipped without tops. They
are shipped with less than stand-
ard refrigeration and are placed in
storage immediately upon arrival at
destination.

enough of your money to renew the
notes. * the speaker charged.
Griffin stated that when the
bank closed West owed the Institu-
tion o\er $8000 in principal and in-
terest and that all of the notes
were at least 6 months past due.
Claims that West had brought
more than $20000000 of federal
money into the Valley were scouted
by the speaker who asked. “Have
you seen any of it?”
“And if this amount of money-
does come into the Valley. I tell
you that Cameron and Hidalgo
counties have spent over $200000 in
lobbying fees and expenses to get it
and that all West did was to show
the lobbyists where the various of-
fice buildings are and tell them who
to see.” Griffin said.
The candidate read a letter ad-
dressed to a Hidalgo county farmer
wntten by Cong. West in which
West said that the Valley office of
the R. A. C C. was established at
San Benito at his ‘earnest solici-
tation." and requesting any informa-
tion as to the manner in which the
office was functioning.
“This office was established in
San Benito on the first day of No-
vember. 1932 the election ;or con-
gressman was held in March 1933.
and West assumed office six months
after the office had been in opera-
tion. He must think the farmers of
the Valley are the dumbest set of
people on earth. ’ Griffin said.
Details of the incident in connec-
tion with leasing ol 200 acres of
land on the south end of Brazos
Island were related by the speaker
who read from minutes of the
Brownsville Chamber of Commerce
in which the naming of West on a
committee to secure this land for
Cameron county was set out.
“And he went to Austin and got
the land for some millionaire oil
men of Kansas City whom his law
iirm represented and these oil men
did not know the land was available
until West learned about it from
R. B. Rentfro at that directors meet-
ing in the chamber of commerce
office.” the speaker charged.
City lots sold Mexican residents of
Brownsville by West are now being
foreclosed upon by the banking com-
misisoner of Texas to satisfy a deed
of trust against the properties held
by the Texas Bank & Trust Co..
Griffin charged stating that he held
an “envelope full of affidavits from
poor people who are about to I06*
their home5 as a result.”
The meeting was presided over by
Roy Ruf! of Brownsville who intro-
duced several county and precinct

ing.
