ME X|CAN BREAK
IS OPPOSED
BY GEORGE r.. HOLMES
International News Service Staff
Correspondent :

A break of diplomatic relations
with Mexico found little support
in the Senate today.
If the State Department carries
out it's implied threats of with
drawing recognition from the Gales
government because of the con-
troyersy over the application of
Mexico's new land and petroleum
laws, such a move will meet with
strong Senatorial opposition. That
much is assured, and this fact
served to strengthen today the
widely prevailing opinion in the
Capital that, while relations are
strained there will be no formal
break.
Senator William e. Borah R.) Of
idaho, chairman of the Senate For
eign Relations Committee, said he
did not believe there would be any
break, for it would serve no good
purpose.

opened. / thought that now. after
all these years. the whole thing s7as

Asks About Scratches
suppose there is always con-
flicting testimony when people are
fighting for their lives. But am
sure Senator Simpson will straight-
en- it all out when he brings on mis-
rebuttal witnesses and makes his
speech to the jury.
What I can't figure out is how
several people can see different
things at the same time. Those
scratches on Mrs. Halls face. Tor
instance.
Two State witnesses say they
saw them. Three defense witnesses
say there were no scratches. What
is anyone to believe? It seems that
the defense plan is to get people
to deny everything the State wit
nesses said.
Ferd David, the detective, said
Mrs. Gibson told him several diff
ferent stories about the murder
night, one Of which was that the
Stevenses were not mixed up in it..
Then Senator Simpson pointed out
that Mr.. David had changed his
story, too. since he testified before
the grand jury.
All day long witness after witness
denied and denied and denied. Are
these people honestly mistaken, or
is the case so shot through with
lies that the jury will not be able
to reach a decision?
I came seeking justice for the
slayers of my mother, whoever they
may be. Am I doomed TO bear al

the cruel murderers will never pay

THE PROPOSED FIVE MILL

Editor Producers News.
For many years certain interests in
larger units of taxation 90 support the
schools. The reason set forth is this,
that The district unit of taxation IS
very. very unfair TO the weaker rural
districts. taxing them heavily, ami stlil
leaving them without the necessary
funds for the support of their schools.
II is held that larger units Of taxation
would reverse an this. Long ago. IN

Dear AIr. Editor

posed County Fair iu your columns
for the past few weeks. il seems TO
me the business men want a Fair be-
cause of the people IL would draw to
town for the occasion and that many
farmers don't want the cost of build

reading individual opinions it is hard to
say whether a fair would do good or
not. If il would be useful to the coun-
rs as q whole we should have it,; If IT,
