TOO MANY BURDENS
 DECRIED BY HOOVER
Declares Government Cannot
 Stand Super-POwer Drain

WASHINGTON, May 21.--Address- ing the convention of the National Flee tric Light association in Atlantic City by radio from Washington, Secretary of Commerce Hoover warned against burdening the government with too much paternalistic responsibility.
 Referring to suggestions that the gov eminent should undertake super-power development. Hoover said
 "Our political system has not yet developed, and will not for generations to come. to 6 point where it will have either the capacity to choose, skill or the assured probity to operate these implements.
 Our institutions will break down if we impose such burdens upon them"
 Hoover denied the truth of the popu- lar conception that "super-power" con notes gigantic, grinding trust"

OIL TANKS FATAL
To WILD DUCKS
Thousands Perish in I'm
usual Manner,
BIZ Times RpeciaI


SHREVEPORT. La, Dec. %
The drought in Louisiana is result
ing in the death Of thousands Of wild
ducks in manner somewhat I'm
usual.
North Louisiana is dotted with
giant eartheu tanks to store crude
oil from the Arkansas and Louisiana
fields and with most of the small
lakes and marshes dry, and minor
streams little more than brooks,
ducks arriving from the North are
mistaking the oil tanks for water
and alighting in them. They never
rise again, for the thick oil per-
meates their feathers, making it Inn
possible for them to. Thousands are
succumbing in the tanks, while
others, after struggling to the edges,
flop over to the ground and die.
Similar conditions existed on the
Ouachita River when the stream was
covered with waste oil from the
Arkansas fields. The ducks upon
settling in the water were covered
with the oil. Residents captured
many and attempted to wash away
the oil with gasoline and other fluids
but the remedy in every instance re-
suited fatally.

THE WASP'S DAUGHTER
FLUTTERS ON BROADWAY
BIZ NEA SerUice

M EW YORK Dec 2S'-l.
i'm has been said that an odd
or romantic story can be
written. sooner or later, about
any Of the lithe-nmbed army that
makes up the choruses of Broad
way.
And the time has come when
Lucilla Mendez momentarily can
leave her place as last girl in
the right to furnish another
chapter.
The event that makes this
possible is the death in exile at
San Juan de Porto Rico of Clip
riano Castro. colorSul South
American despot. who won such
names as the stormy petrol of
the Caribbean" the Hon Of the
Andes and the wasp"
FIFTEEN years ago it seemed that
Castro. then president Of Vene-
zuela, would bring half Of Europe
down upon his neck because he
chose to conhscate property of
foreigners from many lands.
But then fortune changed. His
secretary seized his office while
he was IN Paris and when he re-
turned to his native land he was
forced into exile TO escape death.
The cables told of Castro's
death. but It was not recorded
that upon that night his daugh-
ter. Lucllla. was seeking Broad
way success. Which is to say
that she WAS kicking away indus
triously in My Girl" a new
Jazz show.
She didn't know until she sat
IN a coffee house. after the drop
Of tho final curtain. reading an
early edition Of a newspaper.
Il haven't seen my father since
I was young" she recited later.

from him.

Of money hidden away. II It is

I had been used TO luxuries and
