HINTS MEXICAN
Help BUREAU

SAN BENITO, July 18. 49, There
are approximately $4,000 MeXicans
in the Valley who are subject to
deportation under the new immi-
rration regulations, and some i'm
mediate steps must be taken to save
this labor supply in the Valley, ].
z. FL, chamber of commerce sec
rotary here, told the KiWanis club
members Wednesday.
Bell suggested a sort of immigra-
ton bureau in the Valley, at which
Mexicans could secure such infor-
nation as they needed. This bu-
reau. according to his plan as out
lined here, would investigate the
situation, see that the aliens Sc
cured legal counsel, and proper adj
vice when they needed 1t, and 9TH
erwise help to prevent the removal
from this section of a large number
Of aliens.
Bell explained that he had con-
ferred with Col. Sam Robertson,
former Cameron county sheriff,
about the matter, and that Col.
Robertson expressed the belief that
there are between $4,000 and 10000
MexicanS in the Valley who are
subject to deportation under a strict
enforcement Of the regulations.
The task Of representing the
Mexicans in the matter is a ire
mendous one, requiring intensive
investigation, Bell declared before
the Kiwanis club.
He explained further that the sit
nation will hnrome n~NnSidnrah1v
more complicated with the passage
Of the Box immigration bill, which
is considered practically certain.
