NEW MANAGER
B. FRANK HARDIN
HARDIN HEADS'
I R FIRM
—
Appointment of B. Frank Hardin
former tax collector of Cameron
county as manager for the Grant
Lumber Company* business in
Brownsville was announced Wed-
nesday from the office of John F.
Grant Houston head of the com-
pany.
This connection for Mr. Hardin
returns him to the business In
which he has spent most of his busi-
ness life. He has been in the lumber
business for 26 years of which more
than eight years were spent at
Harlingen as manager there for the
South Texas Lumber Company Be-
fore coming to the Valley Mr. Har-
din had operated for the South Tex-
as company at a number of cities
in central and north Texas.
A. Sierra who has been with the
Grant company here for several
years will continue with the com-
pany as assistant manager here.
Before coming to the county seat
as tax oolector Mr. Hardin was
actively identified with civic affairs
at Harlingen was associated with
several civic organlsatons and al-
wsvs gave of his time In the pro-
motion of the best Interests of his
home town.
“I am very happy to return to
the lumber business particularly be- j
cause the Grant Lumber Company i
and mvaelf believe that Browns-
ville is destined to develop tremend-
ously because of the harbor develop-
ment that Is in progress.'’ said Mr.
Hardin.
"I believe that there Is going to
be a steady but certain growth m
construction and that there will be
ample business her® for our firm
and for all lumber yards. The har-
bor development at Brownsville is
perhaps the major harbor develop-
ment In which the United States
government Is interested at this
time. It is certain to carry this city
onward and upward in every way.

rrich will enter iU forthcoming neg-
otiation* with 8ir John Simon. Brit-
ish loreign secretary on equal terms.
The negotiation* beginning next
Monday a mrhawehr ministry
spokesman said will take place in a
"wonderfully clarified atmosphere"
“When Sir John Simon arrives
the talks between hun and our
fuehrer.” the spokesman said "will
no longer be complicated by military
questions but the conversations will
be limited to political discussions.
"No longer for instance can is-
sues be beclouded by say Britain
sayihg ‘if you will accept an eastern
pact well concede you such and
such an array and if you accept a
Danubian pact you can have such
and such a raiment*.’
“All that is a thing of the past.
Germany has herself decided what
kind oi a military force she will
have and 81r John coming here can
only make the necessary political
deductions from that fact.”
Spectacular serial maneuvers over
Berlin Tuesday night gave sub-
stance to the reich's claims that she
is now a military power to be reck-
oned with.
Bombers and pursuit planes esti-
mated to number between 100 and
150 soared above the dty while clti-
arns crowded the streets to gaae aloft
in admiration.
All lights were extinguished at 10
p. m for the maneuvers during
which anti-aircraft detachments
manned their battlers In a mock
defense of the capital.
So eager were civilians to witness
the display they relaxed their tradi-
tional German discipline to crowd
the thoroughfares despite official
orders that they remain Indoors
When German officials now dis-
cuss the reich's rearmament with
foreigners they emphasise Ger-
many* great aim In restoring her
military power is to place herself in
a position to compel gradual world
disarmament.
Amid all the exultation financial
experts pointed to the economic
significance of the diversion of cred-
its from ordinary business to Ve
armaments Industry. This the ex-
perts say has been a heavy factor
in the reich’s raw material prices
and the inability of the relchsbank
to obtain sufficient bills of exchange
to pay foreign debts.
It is estimated 15.000 000.000
reichsmarks (approximately 18.000.-
000.000) have been diverted from
various channels into the manufac-
ture of cannon bombers and other
war equipment and kindred military
activities since Hitler became chan-
cellor.
Five billon additional marks the
experts estimate remain to be used
—enough to last for eight or nine
months at the present rate of ex-
penditure. Thereafter they assert
some sort of inflation must be re-
sorted to unless world business im-
proves tremendously.

OIL PRORATION
BILL IS PASSED
AUSTIN. March 30. —i4*i—A bill
to extend Texas’ market demand
oil proration statute for another
two years cleared its first hurdle
with unexpected ease as the houss
oil and gas committee gave it a
unanimous favorable report.
The present market demand law
expires in Septemfiter. The bill
would permit the railroad commis-
sion to continue to limit production
to demand if it considered such
action was in the state's interest.
The proposal signed by numerous
representatives also would rewrite i
the present law in the light of re-
cent court decisions so as to make
It stronger. It would allow the rail-
road commission to issue tempor-
ary emergency orders without no-
tice or hearing and enforoe them
for 15 days.
Sidney Latham of Longview
chairman of the committee and
others at the hearing said the oil
industry had settled to the most
stable basis in its history Latham
said he was willing **to trust the
railroad commission to write or-
ders that will take oare of the In-
dustry without discrimination.'*
A bill by J. C. Duvall of Fort
Worth to confiscate trucks hauling
illegal oif and a substitute which
would make the penalty a fine

ferred to a %ib-commit tee
