LARGER ARMY
BE FINDS
> SENATE FOES
WASHINGTON March
was I arming in the sen-
ate Saturday for a brisk fight on
the proposal for *a M5.000.0JQ in-
« in army appropriations and
tnsion of the enlisted force to
•Want_
116.000 men.
The supply bill comes up in the
MQate Monday. The senate has al-
ways had a fair-sized bloc ready to
attack increases in military ap-
propriations but the Jump in the
Wmy bill this year has increased
Jte strength seme members say.
Little Opposition faced the bill in
the appropriations committee which
approved It Friday with more than
to.000.000 added to the military ap-
propriations passed by the house. A
reduction of I10.000.00J was made in
the war department's non-military
land.
JJhiet point of controversy in the
bill critics indicated Saturday will
be the proposal to increase the
standing army from 118.750 to 165.000
enlisted men. involving an annual
appropriation of $30000008.
Asnator King (Z>-Utah) is one of
the leaders of the opposition against
Una
"My opinion i*” he said Satur-
day “that we are becoming a little
too hysterical by reason of the acts
of other nations and there is no
Justification for such a large ap-
propmuon or for an increase in
the siae of the army."
Supporters of the increased per-
sonnel will argue that it is needed
for military purposes but also is an
inexpensive way to care for a por-
tion of the unemployed. Major
General Douglas MacArthur chief
of staff told the appropriations
committee it was cheaper than sny
other relief method averaging about
$400 o year per man.
Hidalgo Youth
Asks Allred To

(CpscUl vo The Herald •
McALLEN March 2.—▲ loyal
young Texan faced during the past
several days with varying answers in
his search for information concern-:
ing the proper method of displaying
the state flag of Texas has written
Governor James V. Allred for de-
tails.
Not only did 12-year-old W. L.'
Nolen Jr. wno incidentally is a
grandson of Lon A. Smith member
of the Texas Railroad Commi&tsnr
ask for correct information on the
subject but also asked whether the
information could be included in a
proclamation by the governor.
A part of young Nolen's letter fol-
lows:
“I am s boy 12 yean of age in fne
seventh grade. My teacher Miss Eli-!
ssbeth Alley of Austin was In Austin
when a discussion oame up about;
whether the white or the red stripe;
of the Texas flag was at the top.
About 10 prominent men were phou- i
ed in Austin; some said white same
said red and some did not know. I
have looked in several reference
books and histories; some said red
and some whits.
"Next year in the Centennial cele- j
bration. the people are probably corn-
tag from all the northern states. ■
when these people drive through ne
state the flag will have red at the)
lop at one place and white at an-1
ir. The people will probably fay:
•What is the matter with these Tex-
ans? They don't know how to display
their own flag.’
"Because many of the people do
not know the correct way to display
our sacred flag could the proper
manner of displaying the flag be of-
ficially proclaimed from your office? *
Young Nolen says he is awaiting
cither word from the governors of-
fice—or a proclamation.

Wildcat Oil Tests in Three
Sections of Starr-Hidalgo
Territory Holds Interest
(Special to The Beraid)
MISSION March 3—Wildcat teats
in three sections of the Starr-
Hidalgo counties area this week
stole the oil spotlight from the
Samfordyce field fo southwestern
Hidalgo county although the field
reported three new completions and
two more due late this week.
Considerable interest was shown
in wildcats northwest of Mission
west of the Samfordyce field and
in south central Starr.
Probably the most Interesting ati
this particular time is R. H. Vice's
No. 1 E. B. Carruth. in share 1-B.
porcion 91. Ancient Jurisdiction of
Camargo. souui central Starr about
two miles east of the Barbacoas
pool. The test was drilled to 4.018
leet but was plugged back to 2.766
feet and sidetracked. In the side-
tracked hole it has cored nine feet
of saturated sand at 2.882-91 feet
and will make a drill stem test dur-
ing the weekend. The sand section
was shown on Schlumberger test
to be sand at 2.880-2.90? feet and
sandy shale from 2.9J7-94 feet.
In southeastern Starr county E.

ing the weekend. The test is about
6.500 feet northwest of the Sam-
fordyce discovery well and 3.000
feet west of production. It topped
sand at 2.785.5 feet and has cored
two and a half feel of sand.

set and cemented another whlp-
.stock at about 2.970 feet Thursday.
The first whipstock was lost and
finally fished out of the hole Wed-
nesday. The teat will sidetrack and
look for saturated sand at 3.053-58
leet. first reported on February 15.
Drill stem test failed on February
23. when ten feet of mud was shown
in 26 minutes.
The three completions in the
Samfordyce field during the week
were as follows:

Marrh 8. 1835—The day was the
forty-second birthday of Sam
Houston. It was also to be the
natal day of the Republic of Texas
which Houston so ably champion-
ed. However capably it may be
argued that the time relation-
ships of certain Important and
connected events were merely the
result of chance there will always
be an abiding notion in the minds
of some that they were not wholly
accidental. It has at times seem-
ed as if a mysterious influence
governing the affairs of men
brought certain of them into the
world and schooled them to shoul-
der in life great responsibilities
and meet the intellectual and spirit-
ual requirements ot critical periods.
Those who enjoy such speculations
find abundant opportunity for
their exercise in a study of the life I
of Sam Houston. He was a par-;
ticipant in the second proof that a
democracy could survive as a na-
tion and now he was about to be-
come a guiding spirit in the birth!

him for half a century or more
and will continue to do so for
many years to come. It is be- j

His life is a challenge as well as
an inspiration for he was truly a'
self-made man who was in a large
degree possessed of one character-
istic without which all others are:
useless. — a dogged determination j
to apply his abilities with the ut-i
most effort to every task which I
confronted him. At least it was
so with the exception of an intec-'
lude in his life which was his own
secret. Prcfcably it was in that
way alope that he differed from
the other great men who aided in
making a nation of Texas. A na-
tive of Virginia he was 13 when
his widowed mother moved to Ten-
nessee. He entered the second war
with Great Britain as a private
and at its close was a Major-Gen-

Public education In Texas was
sadly neglected. One legislature
passed a law providing for a school
of ‘mutual instruction on the Lan-
casterian plan" In each department
where pupils were to be instructed
in "reading writing arithmetic
the principles of the Catholic re-
ligion. and all Ackerman's cate-
chisms of the arts and sciences.’’
A later law called for six primary
schools until those mentioned in
ihe first law could be organized.

state treasury.—a normal condi- '
tion—and the resolutions came to
naught.

500 NEW DEAL
TESTSPENDING
WASHINGTON. March I.—OP'—
More than 800 tests of New Deal
legislation were reported Saturday
to be pending in the federal courts
of the country.
Department of Justice officials
promising to take all disputed sta-
tutes to the Supreme Court speedily
“to find out what the law la” said
that 268 of the pending cases in-
volve the National Industrial Re-
covery act.
The nub of oontentioo in many
of these is. “what constitutes inter-
state commerce?'’ contending that
manufacturing plants and business
establishments are “the veils of
commerce" the government has
sought to regulate them under its
constitutional power to control com-i
mere* between the states.
Two recent decisions on this
point have gone against the ad-
ministration. a federal judge at
Wilmington. Del. ruled that the
collective bargaining clause of the
Recovery Act was unconstitutional
as applied to the Welrton Steel
company. He said the constitution
gave congress no right to regulate
manufacture. On the same day a
lederal judge at Louisville. Ky.. |
taking a similar view granted an
injunction against enforcement of
a coal code.
Attorney General Cummings looks
for the questions involved in both
of these NRA set-backs to be set-
tled by another case already pend- I
lng in the Supreme Court. This is
the government's appeal from the
decision of the federal court at
Birmingham. Ala. that the NIKA
and a lumber code established under
it were unconstitutional. Cummings
hopes the Wilmington and Louis-
ville cases may be combined with!
the Birmingham litigation which
is to be argued before the Supreme
Oourt next month
Thousands of railroad workers are
watching for a decision March 13
In another case before the high
oourt. It is expected to decide the
legality of the railroad pension set.
Although this was not a New Deal
measure It msv provide a precedent
for the administration's social se-
curity legislation.

DAVIT* COPPER FIT. ID’
TO «tHOW THIS WEEK
“David Copperfield “ the prize-
winning photoplay which shows Fri-
day and Saturday at vour Capitol
Brownsville is destined to fake its
place as one of the outstanding pic-
tures of all screen history
Boasting a cast of sixty-five stars'
and featured players in the major
roles the picture vibrates with an
intimacy that cannot be imagined.
It blends every element of enter-1
tainment — romance pathos com-
edy. thrill* and spectacle—m such
deft quality that one fairly lives
with the characters as they work
out their destiny on the screen.
Romance and Comedy
It u a faithful translation of
Dickens' best known and best loved
story but it reveals entertainment
that never could be imagined by
any one who has read Dickens only
casually The romance and comedy
especially are emphasized.
Among the scores of favorites m
the cast are W. C. Fields. Lionel
Barrymore. Maureen O'Sullivan.
Madge Evans Edna Mav Oliver
Lewis Stone Elizabeth Allan. Ro-
land Young Basil Rathbone. Elsa
Lanchester. Jean Cadell. Jessie
Ralph. Lennox Pawle. Violet Kem-
ble-Cooper. Dna OConnor John
Buckler. Hugh Williams. Ivan
Simpson. Herbert Mundm. Fay
Chaidecott. Marilyn Knowlden. Flo-
rine McKinney Harry Beresford.
Mabel Colcord. and the eminent
novelist. Hugh Walpole who beside
adapting the screen play with How-
ard Estabrook also enacted the role
of the Vicar.
Perhaps outstanding In "David
Copperfleld's’* achievements is the
development of the new child star.
Freddie Bartholomew who plays the
boy David. Reminiscent of the wist-
ful charm of Jackie Coogan when
he first appeared with Chaplin in
"The Kid.” little Freddie has sud
denly rocketed to a commanding
place in the screen world on the
strength of his performance as Da-
vid. He is a superb little actor and
has a tender charm that Is ins-
tantly captivating. Another new star
is Frank Lawton the young man
who plays the adult David and who
also rises to a commanding position
in the screen world with this one
performance.
Distinctive Direction
'•David Copperfield" comes to the
screen as a David O. Selzmck pro-
duction for Metro-Gold wyn-Mayer
with George Cukor directing. The
picture is a monument to both of
them It is a picture that should not
be missed by any man or woman
boy or girl.
