BREAK LOOMS
Inscriptions On Italian
Cause
Of Row

VIENNA, July 12.-(P)-Good rela-
tions between Austria and Italy,
which only recently were r~eestablish-
ed. todas appeared again painfully
strained By reports Of indignation
throughout Austria over what Is re-
garded as an offensive inscription
on an Italian war monument at Boil
Zano.
This monument, to be unveiled to-
day by King Victor Emmanuel in
commemoration of the Austrian de-
feat of 1928, was reported in the
Austrian press to contain the follow
ing inscription:
Here are the frontiers Of the
Fatherland. From this point we have
driven the barbarian language, laws
and arts"
One word, however. is understood
to have been changed, namely "bar-
barian" into foreign"
IL is declared in Vienna that the
Italian minister Of education, Signor
Fedele, resigned because Premier
Mussolini desired to alter the word
ing Of the original inscription.
Chancellor Seipel received a dele
cation Of South Tyrolese deputies and
mayors who protested against the in
scription but obtained no satisfac-
ton, Chancellor Seipel having told
them that he was helpless.
Ii is understood that the Italian
government has closed the Italo-
Austrian frontier for six DAYS TO
avoid incidents.

NEW YORK, July 11.-LP-The
action in stock prices, which SCI
yesterday, was resumed nc the Oh
ing Of today's market. Midland 81,
Products preferred, which broke II
points yesterday, dropped 1 1-2 on the
opening sale today. Wright Aero
nautical opened 4 1-2 points lower
and Curtiss, International Combus-
ton and several others declined q
point or So Radio opened unchanged
and General Motors showed a small
fractional loss on the first transac-
ton.
The sharp break yesterday, the Sc
verest of any single session since
July. 1914, brought about widespread
liquidation by frightened investors
ard traders mt the opening or today's
market.
Some effort was made to support
the market leaders in the early trad
Ing. but the rallies encountered NV
creased offerings. and the general
list was soon headed downward again.
Radio, after advancing fractionally TO
les 81, dropped 10 l62 is before the
end OF the first half hour, and Cen
eral Motors slipped frSm an early
high Of 19l 10 1Ss l-S. Wright Aero
nautical extended its loss to 5 l-2
points and Kelly-SprinRfield 8 per
cent preferred, Adams Express and
Texas & Pacific each dropped about s
points.
Foreign exchanges opened steady.
with sterling cables quoted unehanE-
ed at S4-s6 3-S.
The closing was weak. Raising OF
the call money rate to s per CEN did
not cause much Of a flutter in late
dealings, although current prices Of
various high priced shares were down
20 nearly 20 points. Traders seemed
content to await action on the New
York Federal Reserve bank rediscount
rate and the showing Of brokers
loans after the close OF the market.
Short covering accounted for brisk
rallies in Radio, General Motors and
Montgomery Ward. Total sales ap-
nroximated 2,5O0.0O0 shares.

Regent Thinks Ruling
Opens Way to Big
Building Plan

AUSTIN. July 12.-tP-Regent r.
L. Bats expressed belief Thursday
that the University of Texas is at
liberty now to borrow money for its
building program from the state per-
manent school fund. which has a
large %uninvested surplus.
On this point he disagreed with
President II. Y. Benedict. who said
yesterday that he believed the uni
v~ersity would wait until the legisla-
ture amends the law on investment
school funds and expressed some
pcssimism as TO how soon the legis-
lators would take such action.
The university is allowed to Dor
row from its building fund under 8
ruling by Attorney General Pollard
that the interest in the university
fund can be pledged for a debt.
Il think we should borrow from
the permanent school fund" Mr.
Belts said. by this plan that fund
would get the benefit Of interest paid
BY the university.
II believe that this could be done
under the law as it stands. II | an
wrong about this law, the policy is
50 manifestly right that / have no
doubt the legislature will make any
needed change.

INOUR VALLEY

CONTINUED from page one.)
the town is claimed to be underin-
sured to a surprising extent because
Of a good fire record.
A fire alarm system would knock
five cents off the key rate, reducing
it from twenty-one cents to sixteen
cents.
That reduction, it is pointed out,
would save the city premiums
amounting to about $4,000 annually,
possibly more.
Which would pay for the fire
alarm system in about six years.
Looks as if the system would be q
pretty good investment.
WORK is now under way on
Brownsville's new central fire sta
tion at Tenth and Adams streets.
Building to cost about $4,000
which will give the city one Of the
finest central stations in n city
of its size in Texas.
San Angelo, much larger than
Brownsville, is spending that amount
for its central station.
Incidentally, the bidding on the
Brownsville station was close, the
highest being about $1,000 higher
than the low and successful bid.
