FORT WORTH, Tex., May 2
(UP)—Elliott Roosevelt told a
radio audience last night that Tex-
ans had an unanimous “dread of
the horrors of war,” hut said
that they had varied opinions on
methods of keeping the United
States out of a European conflict.
Rooeveit’s statements were
made in the course of his regular
semi-weekly broadcast. Previously
he had invited his listeners to
answer a question on how they
felt about the prospects of this
country becoming engaged in
war.
"I asked the question,” Roose-
velt said, "because 1 share -vith
others the opinion that public
thought in Texas represents a
"a beer joint' blit*cr <’ross se(,tion of national
thought than could be obtained
from any other one state or sec-
tion.”
The majority, he said, answered
that the United States “must ad-
here to a neutral policy that will
keep this nation clear of the holo-
caust.” The poll he added showed
that the citizens of Texas would:
1. Favor "to the hilt measures
'short of war’ to bring the down-
fall of aggressor nations.
2. Favor the waging of war
uninst any nation or group of na-
tions threatening to invade the
Western Hemisphere.
3. Favor enlisting “every per-
son capable of carrying a gun”
If there were an armed invar-ion
of the United States.
Ho said he believed that Adolf
Hitler’s speech before the German
reichstag had "cemented" Ger-
many’s friends and had given
them courage to voice their op-
inions.
SALE qF TOMATOES
AGREEMENT APPROVED
WASHINGTON, May 2 (UP) —
Two separate marketing agree-
ments for tie handling of toma-
toes grow.i in Mississippi and in
designated Texas counties were
approved today by the Division of
Marketing and Marketing Agrec-
Snents of the United States De-
partment of Agriculture. Ai refer-
endum will he held to determine
whether growers favor issuance of
orders which would make terms of
the agreement applicable to all
handlers.
The Texas referendum will be
held May 6, 8 and 9 on the pro-
gram which would apply to toma-
toes produced and shipped in in-
terstate commerce from four dis-
tricts comprising counties in East
Texas and the south and southeast
central areas, including the Yoa-
kum area.
While production of tomatoes
in Texas has been fairly stable
since 1930, the 1938 acreage,
amounting to 30,300 bushels, was
the largest since 1935. The pric*
averaged 60e a bushel or the low-
est since 1934. Approximately
27,200 acres will be planted to
tomatoes in 1939.

Ho placed Germany at the lop
of the list in research, and said
Great Britain was second, with
Italy and France tied for third.
Soviet Russia, he indicated, was
not an important factor in aero-
nautic research.
Among the latest scientific de-
velopments revealed for the first
time by the N.VCA today were:
1 New type of wing that min-
imizes greatly wing “drag” and
makes possible unprecedented, but
unrevealed speeds.
2 New type of wind tunnels
that will eliminate much of the
guess work in the creation of lar-
ger and speedier aircraft.
3 New type cowlings, wind-
shields and propellors that will
make possible speeds in excess of
500 miles an hour without the
occurrence of “shock waves” that
tend to “brake" fast flying air-
craft.

Schneider had been before the

Schneider is an official.
Review Case
Of Intel-urban
peacetime military conscription,
was necessary to hide the fact
that German construction already
has far exceeded the tonnage al-
lowed under the 1935 pact with
London.
It was believed by the French
naval experts that Hitler will sac-
rifice all othnr types of naval
building and will concentrate on
buiding submarines in a race
against Britain’s construction of
destroyers.
Hitler’s submarine building be-
gan in 1935 and necessitated the
construction of only small subma-
rines of three categories—250-ton
coastal craft, 517 ton and 712 ton
seagoing submarines of which
Germany now claims to have sixty
one built.
