BONUS RIDER
PLAN ALREADY
BEING TALKED
New Movement Would
Leave Methods Of
Payment Up To FD
Is Learned *
ICepyrifht 1835. by The Associated
Preen
WASHINGTON. May 30. (/P>—
Certain administration leaders in
congress predicted Monday that the
bonus issue would be resurrected
in swift uprising fashion alter
the deleat or uie inflationary Pat-
man bill — a deleat which the lead-
ers call a mathematical certainty.
They claimed 40 or 41 votes in the
senate to sustain the veto message
which President Roosevelt is to de-
liver In person against the Patman
bill most likely on Wednesday. But
their more surprising news was this:
Choice To F« D.
One administration chief who is
represented as thinking it would
be good politics lor the oouus to oe
paia this year has made another
poll of his own. He reported that
72 senators would suppou a pian u>
push through a bonus bill—in the
iarm ol a naer on auouier measure
—giving the president a choice ql
three ways ol paying the adjusted
service certificates instead ol the
single method of new currency con-
tained In the Patman bill.
Since only two-thirds are necessary
to over-nue a veto ana tne senate
—even at lull strength — contains
only 96 men such a plan would go
through U> enactment if 72 senators
stuck to It to the end and the house
concurred.
The proposed nder would direct
that the bonus be paid. It would
however leave to the president the
choice between issuing currency bor-
rowing or taking the money out of
his g4.880.000.000 public works fund.
senator Clark iD-Mo.) already
has disclosed his intention to of-
fer such a rider on the naval ap-
propriations bill which was the sen-
ate s pending business Monday
Votes Switched
But since the senate ordinarily
takes little time on appropriations
bill and under the present sched-
ule a vote ors the Patman veto
will not take place before Wednes-
day there was a possibility that
Clark would have to offer his rider
on some other measure other than
that carrying funds for the navy
next fiscal year.
One house leader speaking pri-
vately. was told about that plan
and replied: The house would ac-
cept that rider and over-ride a
veto on it about twice as fast as It
will on the Patman bill.”
Administration senators who said
they had checked the situation as-
serted — but not for quotation by
name — that the president's inten-
tion to deliver his message in per-
son. and other things had switched
eight votes m the senate since the
Patman bill originally passed.
On the original roll call 33 sena-
tors voted against passage. The lat-
te! recapitulation was said to show
that 6 democrats and 2 republicans
now would join the president.
There was also a possibility it was
added that one of the original 33
against the bill now would vote to
over-ride the veto.

take the place of Florida u the
heavy shipping point and conse-
quently Texas will not have to
worry about a glutted market." Ruff
continued. “I don't believe there are
enough tomatoes in Texas to meet
normal market demands."
The two men made a systematic
survey of the state contacting ship-
pers growers bank officials cham-
ber of commerce managers and
county agents. thus acquiring a
cross-section of conditions in the
state.
"Conditions were bad in the terri-
tory surrounding Lufkin as most of
the tomatoes had ben drowned out
when we arrived and cm Saturday
and Sunday heavy rains fell which
damaged crops that had survived.
"In the Ycakum-Halletsville re-
gion. producing basis expectations is
far below normal with a potential
300 carload crop in prospect. This
territory has shipped about 100 cars
to date. In Livingston it is esti-
mated the tomato harvest will yield
only about one-third of normal
"in Rusk county Alto section
crops will be about one-third normal.
Jacksonville is shipping some toma-
toes this week with only about 60
per cent normal crop expected.
Troup tomatoes are about 30 per cent
of normal and the Tyler area is low.
"In areas where the heaviest rains
fell the crops will be alright if the
drainage system is good. All-in-all.
I expect a maintenance of the good
prices Valley growers have been re-
ceiving since tomatoes started to
move” concluded Mrs. Ruff.

STARR SLAYINGS
(Continued On Page Two)
Yates of Brownsville and H. P.
Guerra. Jr. of Rio Grande City
contends that there was no con-
spiracy to break up the opposition
political rally and that Gomez died
as the result of a personal alterca-
tion with Eulalic Elizondo a deputy
sheriff.
The first witness called to the
stand by plaintiffs counse.1 Gal-
braith &l Goodrich of Brownsville
was Sheriff Guerra. He denied that
Elizondo obtained orders from him
to attend the political rally and
oenied that there was any conspir-
acy between him and his brothers to
break up the opposition rally.
Canales who presided over the
rally was the second witness and
he outlined events leading up to the
shootings in which two were killed
and seven were wounded. He de-
clared that the trouble began when
Sheriff Guerra and his brother Julio
began heckling the speakers This
started. Canales said when Sheriff
Guerra said "We are net going to
let this country be run by gringos ”
Due to the heckling the witness
testified he appointed a sergeant-
at-arms to quell disturbance in the
crowd. According to Canales. Sher-
iff Guerra then called out from the
plaza ‘ you have no right to ap-
point officers." Julio the witness
asserted said We are going to let
you speak but you must not insult
us *
It was then. Canales asserted that
difficulties broke out around Julio
with men attempting to hold him.
It was in this mix-up that Gomez
was shot and killed. Both Sheriff
Guerra and Canales said they did
not see the actual shooting but
that Elizondo fled from the spot
immediately.
Pablo Solis a La Grulla ranch-
man. also was killed during the
disturbance. Gomez was a deputy
constable residing in the La Grulla
section.
Euialio Elizondo and Jose Cantu
of Rio Grande City are scheduled
to be tried in Nueces county Wed-
nesday on indictments returned in
connection with the deaths of Solis
and Gomes.

Motors and Mining Shares had
some difficulty in keeping up with
the rest of the list when profit-tak-
ing got in the way. Chrysler was es-
pecially active and managed to ad-
vance around ’» points to around 47
Va but at this juncture a lot oi slock
was offered and the advantage was
lost General Motors held about even
and minor losses occurred in leading
metals including U. S. Smelting and
Cerro de Pasco.
With developments in the busi-
ness world over the week-end gen-
erally constructive and no obstacle
sighted immediately ahead the
brokerage fraternity kept close
watch on Washington in hopes of
accurately gauging political tides
especially the inflationary Patman
bonus bill squabble and the fate of
NRA. Just what effect it would have
on industry if the NRA set was al-
lowed to expire in June was the sub-
ject of much speculation.
Reports from Chicago that steel
production in that area would be
sparply curtailed this week came as
nos urprise in view of the fact that
takings by motor manufacturers
haves hown definite signs of de-
clining Steel makers around Chi-
cago an understood to have been
operating at about 50 per cent of
capacity for mere than two months.

tion which was one point higher

with positions unchanged from Sat-
urday's closing prices.

lluerced slight declines and by the
end of the first half hour of trading
prices were 2 to 5 points lower.

Dec at 1180 and Jan at 11.97 show-
ing minor recessions.
During the morning prices held tn
a narrow groove with some posi-
tions working back to the previous
close while others held from 1 to 5
points lower.
Heavy rains in Texas and other
portions of the belt were received
with mixed feelings.
On the or.e hand showers in the
western part of the belt were ideal
for preparing the ground for plant-
ing. but in other areas the heavy
precipitation will hinder farm work
for at least a week.

ber at 1180. Dec at 11 83 and Jan-
