TO ESTABLISH
BUREAU HERE
Brownsville To Have Wea-
Their Reporting Staten
Soon

Word was received by G. c. Rich
ardson, manager of the local cham
Der of commerce, today that a
weather bureau station will be es-
tablished here shortly. 1t is expect
ed that the station will be in opera
ton by July /.
Forty years ago Brownsville got
her weather information from Mex
leo City, the information being sent
from that city to Vera Cruz, cabled
to New Orleans and thence to
Brownsville. This procedure took
about IL hours, causing quite a de-
lay, and it is still in use, Manager
Richardson says.
The announcement that the
weather reporting service will be es-
tablished here means much to the
international airport" Richardson
said.
The station will be established at
the airport.
Included in the service besides the
weather reports will be a pilot bal
loon service to ascertain wind We
locities and air currents.

HEFLIN RACES
FOR
Senator Riled At Reception;
Credit Situation May
Come Up
BY FRANCIS M. STEPHENSON
Associated Press Staff Writer

WASHINGTON. April 24.-(P-
immigration, prohibition, flood re-
lief and the host of other proposals
pushed before the senate in the
early days of the extra session have
settled behind the administrations
restricted program and face a
doubtful future.
Senator Heflin of Alabama, how
ever, showed the senate yesterday
the plan for a restricted session may
be applicable to legislation but not
to debate. He held the floor two
hours appealing for adoption of a
resolution condenning the treat
ment accorded him at Brockton,
Massachusetts,, where he made a Ku
Klux Khan speech March 10, but
the farm relief bill got a start and
the resolution was put aside.
Farm relief. which reached the
amendment stage in the house to-
day. has first place on the admins
tration program in the senate. How
long this debate will run is problem
atical. After it ends, the admins
tration bills for the 1880 census and
reapportionment of the house will
be awaiting next attention.
Defeated in their first test, Pres
ident Hoover's supporters in oppo-
sition to the national origins pro-
vision Of the immigration law were
looking ahead today to the conclu-
sion of the farm debate before re-
newing in earnest their battle for
repeal. The senate immigration
committee yesterday voted 4 to 2
to postpone indefinitely the bills for
repeal.
Meanwhile. threats Of debate in
the senate over the credit situation.
involving the federal reserve boards

have failed to materialize. Bills and
resolutions for Investigations are in
some of the senatorial desks, but
thew have been withheld.
Unlike the house debaters on this
subject who want to investigate the
reserve boards warnings against in
creased brokers' loans. the senate
has some members who want to in
vestigate Wall Street. In the senate
the only expressed complaint, so far,
against the reserve board Is that it
didn't issue its warning sooner.
Senator King. democrat. Utah.
who has prepared a resolution to
investigate the credit situation is
withholding this to see how
things develop. He is n Of those
who believe excessive credits have
been made available to SPECTATORS
