Nations May Seek
To Better Ocean
Record Of Bremen

LONDON, July 23.-P)-The
challenge of the North German
Lloyd liner Bremen yesterday max
ing the Atlantic crossing Of 4 days,
IL hours and 80 minutes probably
will be answered
1t is expected here that an inter-
national scramble for speed honors
will foll> z almost Immediately with
Great Britain, America, France and
Italy participating, and Germany
adding the Europa shortly, which
should do as well or better than the
Bremen.
The Cunard line, owner Of the
M~auretania, whose former record
was beaten yesterday, made no
statement Of attack on the German
record, but it is understood the line
has a new race under contempla-
ton, and it is expected the Maure-
tania will attempt to show she is
capable CT better than she has vet
produced.
The two new ships of the United
Stat lines to be begun soon prob
ably should show as much speed. or
more, than the b len. Italy and
France, to meet the competition
Will almost have to enter the lists.

TARIFF RUMOR
CONFLICTING
Upward Revision Expected
By Some; Others See
Rate Modification

WASHINGTON, July 23.-[P-
Conflicting expectations are being
formed on the basis of scraps Of in
formation emerging from the closed
room where the republicans of the
senate finance committee have es-
tablished themselves for the task of
rewriting the house tariff bill.
On the one hand, differences are
drawn which lead some observers to
believe their bill is to be as general
as that passed by the house in the
scope of its upward revision of tariff
rates while, on the other hand, in
dications are cited to support pre-
dictions that the proposed increases
will be considerably modified.
In the latter category is classed
the request Of Chairman Smoot to
the tariff commission for a list of
imported commodities which enter
American trade in such relatively
small quantities that they amount
to less than ten per cent Of total
consumption.
While that Is taken as a sign that
the committeeman are seriously
considering an extensive modifica-
ton Of the house rates, an opposite
Interpretation is placed on the state
ment Of Senator Shortridge of Cali
fornia, one of the members engaged
On the task.
The republican party he said,
proposes to enact a tariff law
which shall have due and first re-
gard for American men. women and
children-on the farm, in the mines.
in milk or factory-for the producer
and consumer alike-who, without
adequate tariff protection. will be
forced into competition with poorly
paid, cheap labor, of other and less
prosperous countries"
Senator LaFollette of Wisconsin,
a member of the republican indie
pendent group which is organizing
in opposition to general tariff re-
vision meanwhile, has called upon
President Hoover to express his
views on the house bill.

SAN BENITO. July 23.-Possi-
bility Of infested citrus fruit or
other fruit from Florida reaching
the Valley is considered exceedingly
unlikely by J. :. Bell, chairman of
the Valley fruit fly cleanup com
mittee, who was in Florida a short
time ago.
Bell went through the entire in
tested area. and said the quaran-
tine regulations which are in force
there are the most rigid that he has
ever encountered in any other sec
ton. for any other reason.
1T IS impossible to travel more
than a few miles in an automobile
without having to get out of the
car, have your baggage searched,
the a locked up and fumigated,
and other precautions taken to pre-
vent spread Of the fruit fly" he
said.
Bell emphasized the Importance
OF keeping a close and continuous
watch in this section, however.
Brownsville herald. [volume] (Brownsville, Tex.) 1910-current, 1929-07-23

And It IS almost certain that any
such fruit reaching the Valley
would be seized Immediately and
destroyed.
There IS no reason for people in
the Valley to get panicky over the
discovery Of some Florida fruit at
La Feria, although it emphasizes
the need for every resident of the
Valley to maintain a strict watch,
and to help in every way to pre-
vent infeStatiOn n this section"
Ford said.
Entering Of fruit such as that
found at La Feria will probably not
occur again, and the fruit was, Of
course, inspected in Florida, or it
would not have been on sale. Still
the regulations preventing entry
OF such fruit will be frightened in
every way, in order to remove this
threat in the future"
Danger In Texas
Ford explained that the greatest
danger Of an infestation of the
Mediterranean fruit fly in the VAL
ley exists not in the possible ship
ments Of fruit from Florida here,
but in an infestation in some
by point, such as East Texas.
shipments Of Florida fruit to
East Texas might result in a light
infestation in the peach orchards
there, which are a host fruit for the
pest" Ford said. This infestation
might not be detected for some
time. and during that time consid-
cradle quantities Of peaches might
be shipped into the Valley. These
would constitute a grave danger to
this section.
I'VE r taking every precaution
against such a danger, by inspect
ing all fruit and other hosts fruits
shipped into the Valley. Inspectors
in u department have been going
through all shipments of peaches
and other hos, fruits before thew
are taken out Of the cars. and in
this way the danger reduced to
practically a minimum"
