RADIO COMMISSION

WASHINGTON, Feb. 20.-tPl-
In contrast with yesterdays activity
when the house passed the white
radio bill and the senate approved
the Jones bill. today promised TO be
a light one in congress SO far as
measures disposed Of were con-
cerned.
The house had arranged memorial
services for the members of the
SEVENTEEN congress who have died
in office, while the senate had on
its program the resolution by SEN
ator Edge of New Jersey. which
would authorize a survey OF the pro-
posed canal across Nicaragua.
Representative Eaton, New Jersey.

Tennessee, the democratic leader,
had been selected as speakers to

means committee; a special house
committe had before 1t northern
Pacific land grants and military af-
fairs faced a bill dealing with the
army.
On the senate side the interstate
commerce committee had arranged
hearings on appointments Of radio
commissioners.
With the passage Of the White

fore IL last night. The senate ad-
iOurned without action but n vote

Coolidge Not
Decided AS To
Future Activity

WASHINGTON. Feb. 20.-P-
President Coolidge has not yet ar
rived at a decision as to his occu-
patton after retirement from office.
although he has been approached
BY several persons with proposals
that he write syndicated articles
for newspapers.
The president regards that field
as a fine one. but hesitates to bind
himself by the urgency Of regular
production. However. ne may write
occasional articles dealing with his
experiences and observations in
public office.
The president has told callers
that he Is not in a position to make
a positive decision at this time.
This Is in conformity with a pre-
vious assertion that he does not
feel that his duties as president
permit him To enter into any ar
rangement with an outside interest
before his retirement.

SENATE VOTES
FOR PRO BILL
Jones Measure Aimed
Primarily At Big
Bootleggers

WASHINGTON, Feb. 20.-P5-
Opponents Of the Jones bill held
their own in the debate that CEN
tered about the measure but they
fell short when the vote came. The
senate passed the bill. s. TO IS.
The bill increases the maximum
penalty for first violations Of the
prohibition laws to a fine OF Si0.-
600, or five years In prison, or both.
The maximum penalty for first vio-
lations Is at present a fine OF ST.
600. or six month Imprisonment. or
both, and for second offenders a
fine Of $4,000, with five years i'm
prisonment. Minimum penalties
were not changed.
The bill was not aimed at petty
offenders, as a provision inserted
by the senate declared that judges
when imposing sentences should
discriminate between casual or
slight violations and habitual sales
Of Intoxicating liquor or attempts
to commemorative violations Of the
prohibition law"
Discussion of the bill led TO the
usual controversies. one OF them
being a debate between Senator
James Reed Of Missouri. and SEN
ator William Z. Borah Of Idaho.
This held the attention Of the sem
ate and a crowded gallery Monday
and there was argument until the
final vote late yesterday.
The bill was described by its
sponsor, Senator Jones of WASH
ington. as aimed primarily at the
big b~ootlegger. 1t had the support
Of the prohibition bureau and of
Mrs. Mabel Walker Willebrandt.
assistant attorney general in charge
Of prohibition cases in the depart
ment of justice.
Thirty-six republicans joined
with 20 democrats in support OF the
measure, while five republicans and
l3 democrats voted against it. The
bill now goes TO the house. but IL
IS problematical whether action will
be taken on it at this session.

Filler LAUDS
CITY AIRPORT
Lions Club Hears Dis.
cussion of Future
OF Aviation Here

Brownsville is destined to become
one Of the most important interna-
tional airportS. and all efforts
should be coordinated toward
achieving that goal, Captain T.. C.
Schramm Of the Universal Air
Lines. Inc. informed the Browns
VILE Lions club members at the
weekly luncheon.
Captain Schramm detailed the
rapid and phenomenal growth OF
the Universal Air Lines from a re-
cent ne-plane concern TO one with
a financial backing of well around
5000. OOO, 600, with an ambition to
become the largest aviation or
~eanization in the world. which goal
has already been achieved III the
United States. He complimented
Brownsville on its selection CT a
manager for its air port and stated
that the manner in which Browns
vile had gone about the develop
ment Of its municipal field had
attracted the attention Of the avta-
ton world. He paid his respects to
the high quality of the local field
and said he could make no criti-
cism of ii except that 1t would have
been a little more convenient II II
had been a little closer to the city,
although he pointed out that many
of the airDorts are even further
from the downtown section.
Captain Schramm said there was
a very pronounced interest IN AVA
ton in Mexico. which was partic-
ularly true in Monterrey. He de-
clared the air line through Browns
vile to Mexico and Central and
South America to be the most logi-
cal and practical route and predict
ed that within a few years Browns
vile would be the most important
aviation port Of entry In the United
States. He pointed out how de-
sirsble this section. with its maxi
mum amount of good flying wea-
ther. would be for the establish
ment Of aviation schools by COM
mercial companies.
The speaker urged the club TO
spread the gospel Of aviation to the
multitude and talk aviation and
boost IL and cause the people OF
this city to awake to the splendid
opportunities IL offers Brownsville.
When asked how best the Lions
club could further the interests OF
this CITY. he advised that all pos
sible stimulation be given to the
efforts now being put forth to have
Brownsville permanently designat-
ed as an international air port Of
entry. He said in his opinion few
such ports would be established.
that such a designation would be
Of inestimable value. and that other
cities we're working hard to be
selected.
AS a result OF Captain Schramm's
talk, a permanent aviation commit

tee was appointed with Fred Shell
don as chairman, the other menu
bers being Holland Wood. Edmund
Levy and 3. G. Price. This COM
mittee was urged to take immediate
action to assist in insuring the
designation Of Brownsville as a per-
manent international port of entry.
1t Is also planned to endeavor to
secure the presentation In a movie
news reel of Brownsville's air fish
industry. which. as a pioneer COM
mercial enterprise. Capt. Schramm
states. Is being watched by all
aviation circles with considerable
interest.
Mrs. T. Clark Gracey delighted
the club with several very talented
numbers on the piano. Plans are
already under way for the program
for the next meeting.

time. and we expect to have It
launched in the near future.
Since 1t Is only a question Of a
short time until the two cities grow
together. IL seems advisable to take
advantage OF the present time. and
work out this joint growth in a
systematic way"
Several joint proposals for Har-
hngen and San Benito have been
MADE, including a golf course, air
port, parks and Fairgrounds. plea
sure drives. and other such fea-
lures San Benito with the canal
through the western side Of the
city. and Harrington with the Ar
royo Colorado on the eastern side
OF the city have an ideal section in
which to build up such loop drives,
parks and Fairgrounds. golf
courses. and other such facilities, in
the opinion Of MI. Bell.
Golf Course Planned
Some progress already has been
made on a plan for development of
a golf course for the two cities. and
this Is expected to come up for con-
siderable discussion at the meeting.
Novel features OF the banquet
proper are included in the prelim-
mary plans. The present plan Is
for Mayor j. Scott Brown Of San
Benito, and Mayor Sam Bolts OF
Harrington TO lead the group Of bus
mess men into the banquet hall.
The two mayors will be seated to-
gether.
Following them will be Commits
sioner j. +. Baughn OF Harrington
and Commissioner A. V. Logan OF
San Benito, followed by President
Tyre Brown OF the Harlingen
Chamber of Commerce. and --esi-
dent Ed II. Downs Of the San Be-
nito Chamber of Commerce. 9th
er officials viii follow in like or
der, including water district man
ayers. chamber OF commerce Sec
retarieS, and others. They will also
sit together. primarily In order that
they might discuss phases Of de-
velopment in the two sections with
which both r familiar in detail.
To Coordinate Work
This plan of seating was de-
cided upon because the two Off
Gals filling similar positions in the
two cities will know best how TO
coordinate their work." Mr.. Bell
said.
The Main street" proposal be-
tween Harlingen and San Benito is
expected TO secure additional slim
illus from the present cooperative
move. This proposal calls for wild
ening the present highway between
the two cities into a street, with
a curb the entire distance. 1t Is
definitely settled that the highway
is to be widened from its present
Is feet TO Is feet or more. but
whether the plan for making 1t into
a street at the present time Is car
ried out is indefinite.
1T IS certain that this highway
will be a street some day. and is
mainly a question OF whether
property owners along the highway
wish to bear the cost at the pres
ent time" Mr.. Bell said.
AS soon as this highway Is widen
ed development of other roads be-
tween the two cities is to be taken
up.
Tickets for the banquet here
have been placed on sale at the
chambers Of commerce in both San
Benito and Harlingen.
