NORRIS MAY RUN
 AS INDEPENDENT
Duplication Of Names Problem On Ballot Still UnSOlVed

Washington, July 18 (UP)-An- nouncement of the withdrawal of Senator George W. Norris from the republican primary campaign to run for reelection as an independent was expected to be made in Nebraska within A hours. it was learned here today on high authority.
 Norris is being squeezed out of the republican primary through the action of a Broken Bow, Neb.. gro- cery clerk of exactly the same name who paid $50 to file as an opponent of the veteran senator.
 A decision as to how Norris will proceed to meet the confusion which would result from two identical names on the same ticket must be made before midnight under a rul- ing of the Nebraska secretary of state. The senator believes his only chance lies in withdrawal and has braska who have authority to make the final decision
 Preparing Ballots
 Court action to straighten out the tangle would probably come too late to have any effect upon the situa- tion inasmuch as the ballots already are being prepared to be sent to the printers.
 The extraordinary fight being made against Norris is one of the chief topics of political discussion here. It is being connected in politi- cal talk with the equally strenuous campaign being made in Montana against Senator Thomas J. Walsh, democratic leader.
 Norris and Walsh have been the chief leaders in the fight against public utility and power interests. years have been devoted toward legislation to maintain the govern ments influence over the develop ment of electrical energy on the rivers and streams of the nation.
 Both senators are so outstanding in their home states that no prom inent men had dared to oppose them in recent elections.
 Discussing the matter, Senator Black, democrat. Alabama, who has contested against the power inter- ests at Muscle Shoals, said today:
 The interests can be republican or democratic. wet or dry to serve their own purpose. They care noth- ing for the fake issues which they raise to blind the people"

Two Glasses VIII
Build Brownsville

A gradual increase in building
activities. starting at once and work.
ing UP TO a nice volume OF business
within six TO twelve months. is the
expectation Of officials Of the
Frontier Lumber company relative
to port development in Brownsville.
This new building will originate
from two sources, officials stated.
''one being from people who are al
ready here to build, but who have
delayed until they were satisfied the
harbor was an assured fact; and the
other from new people who are to
be attracted here. to buy and be In
on the ground floor Of activities.
There is no question In our mind
but that Brownsville viii see a
marked increase in building lasting
over a period Of several years. as
port activities actually get under
way
