In view Of disclosures in the senat,
committee hearing into his qualifi
cations for membership on the In
terstate Commerce Commission, oi
will the Interstate Commerce Com
mission itself throw out the report
Of Mr.. Woodlock?
This question is being asked in
many quarters following publicity
given, the questions propounded tC
Mr. Woodlock by the interstate com
merce committee Of the senate.
Here is the record, as it ha:
reached the Lower Rio Grande Val
ley:
Senator Wheeler: MIR. Wood,
lock, you had your office in with
Matt Brush in the American Inter
national Corporation
Mr.. Woodlock: Yes"
Senator Wheeler: And. as q
matter of fact, Mr.. Matt Brush is
the man who recommended you to
President Coolidge, is he not?"
MT. w OOufpCh. 90 not KNOW
that he is the man that originally
did SO. He was down here and did
recommend me, but | think the
nomination had been made. | dc
not know whether the nomination
had been made then or not. dc
not think he was the original per
son, because | told him first about
it,"
Senator Wheeler: Matt Brush is
fact THAT Immediately after Matt
Brush's visit to the White House
and after an interview with Mr.
Coolidge that your name was men
tioned?-
Mr.. Woodlock: Il do not know
senator"
Senator WHEELER: Matt Brush is
the president now Of the American
International Corporations; besides
he is a director of -"
Mr.. Woodlock: Cinterposing)
.Many companies, ! believe"
Senator Wheeler: Many com
panies, including railroad corpor-
ations ?"
Mr.. woodlock: "Yes. he is a d.
rector of certainly two railroad
corporations"
Senator Wheeler: ~of what rail
roads is he a director"
Mr.. Woodlock: "Pere Marquette
and Missouri Pacific that know
about; the others | do not know, il
there are any others"
Here is a thought that a good
friend of Brownsville has handed tc
The Herald for publication:
1T is n very hopeful and hearten-
ing development that is taking place
in Brownsville just now. One new
church is nearing completion. an
other started, a third has purchased
"A site for a new edifice, fourth
has funds underway for new
building, fifth will soon erect a
home for their pastor. the first unit
of church school has just been
opened. and so it goes.
~Now, that's fine! In fact, moth
ing has happened in BrcSnsvi-7 -7e
or will happen, that means more tc
the city than an active, healthy
church life. 1t is the duty Of every
public spirited citizen to be inter
ested in and aid these causes.
From an economic viewpoint
churches are good investment
They pay in dollars and cents foi
the Increase in value they give Il
property in the community. They
pay bigger and better dividend II
their returns to the community as
builders of character. promoters OF
moral good, and developers OF the
spiritual resources Of humanity
@Let US put Brownsville on the
map as a city of fine churches. II
would be the best advertisement we
can possibly have.
And incidentally. remember that
it takes money to build churches"
Along with which comes the fol
lowing, by William Hiram Foulkes:
Money talks, and il says:
"Catch me and keep me. IL you
can. but I have wings. Find me and
bind me. and | mysteriously disap-
pear. Dig and delve, scratch and
scrape, grind and grasp in order e
get me, and, 10, am broken
bauble and a bursting bubble!
Save me and store me for worthy
ends-for budget and bonds, fol
rainy days. for self-improvemenl
and for service of others, and
will be as faithful a servant as you
are honest a master.
Hide me and hoard me for self
ish ends, to see my glitter and glow
to hear my clink and crackle, to fee
my pressure and power, and | will
canker and corrode in your hands.
will pauperize your mind, poison
your soul, paralyzc your will.
"Give me and guide me to serve
and to save others, to meet and tc
match entrenched human need with
incarnate human love, to share and
to spend my brightest and best, and
will come back and crown you with
satisfaction and successl
Money talks, and il says:
81 am ysul You will be what you
make of me"
The report Of J. ID. Evers on the
irish potato situation in the Lower
Rio Crande Valley, published in The
Herald yesterday was certainly
most interesting item.
