A FEW days ago there appeared
~ in The Brownsville Herald an
editorial suggesting that one
remedy of any unemployment which
might be found in the Valley might
be had by home owners, city and
country, looking about for odd jobs
they might be able to give where
both parties might be benefited.
These Jobs could be reported 70 the
federal employment bureau here
and a few days work given needy
persons.
This was done in Cleveland with
no little success. There is little actual
need being felt by any class Of resi-
dent Valley labor, but such steps
might help a recent influx Of hungry
men who have come here under a
misapprehension of the amount OF
work to be found. They could earn
a meal or two before moving on,
and IL might be found a remedy for
a recent outbreak OF petty burglar
les and thefts.
THIS editorial was found returned
from a Valley address pasted on
a copy Of the central organ of
the Communist party u. s. A.. the
Daily Worker. printed in New York.
The only information other than
the newspaper was found in the
handwriting For your perusal from
a mere woman. The sheet en-
closed reeks Of L do not want TO
work at all" and stinks with the
odor Of Russia.
The engineer Of this column does
not know whether the mere wo-
man" sent in the copy to show that
red propaganda is seeping into the
Valley, or whether she thought the
editor might be influenced by what
va there printed.
After reading much OF what has
happened in Russia since she quit
the Allies cold, and hearing Of the
viper-poisonous propaganda spread
from there into China. Mexico. and
In fact every other nation asleep on
the Job. which includes the United
States. we are of the opinion that
the best cure for Communism, OF q
better term - anarchists, is a big
bunch OF doughboys with rifles and
many rounds of ammunition.

WEIGH MAY VISIT HIS
 CHILD IN VENEZUELA
State Department Told American OH Man Can Enter Country
 Case Not to Be Changed.

Washington, July A (UP)-The state department was advised yes terday by the Venezuelan minister of foreign affairs that James Welch, American oil man, might visit that country freely to visit his 20-months old daughter, born of a common law marriage with Venezuelan woman.
 The Venezuelan government ex- plained, however, it would not un- dertake to interfere with the de- cisions of it's courts. before which Welch's claim for his child is pend ing. The federal government only gave the American assurance that no sretaliatory action would be brought against him or his efforts to remove the child to the sUnited States.
 Welch has tried for a year to get his child. Since coming here from Venezuela, he has made serious charges against alleged maladmin- istration of justice in the South American country.
 He charged the mother of the child, whom he married several years ago, deserted him. He at tempted to bring the child back to the United States but his claim was contested by its grandmother.
 He was thrown in jail and the baby was taken from him. Soon afterwards he was released and came to the United States to appeal to the state department.

New York, July A CUP The world may expect a series of severe earthquakes in the next few months according to Rev. Joseph Lynch in charge of the seismograph at Ford ham University.
 He made this prediction yesterday after revealing that the Fordham in strument had not only recorded the Italian quake at 7:19:22 and 7.19: 35 D. m. New York time, but had also recorded a much more violent tremor at p. III. Tuesday.
 Rev. Lynch explained that no earthquakes of importance were reg istered between November and May, which is very unusual and added that when none occur for period of six months, we can expect that in the following period there will be quite a number of unusual force"

MIXED BABIES ARE
 STILL UNIDENTIFIED
Scientists Continue Test to Un-
 scramble Infant Confusion

Chicago, July A (UP) - It was up to eight master minds of science to settle once and for all the paren- tage of babies Bamberger and Wat kins, yesterday.
 A verdict was expected during the day and it appeared not improbable that Mir. and Mrs. William Watkins and MT. and Mrs. Charles Bamber- ger might have to trade babies in order to get their own sons. both born three weeks ago at the same hospital on the same day.
 At least one of the scientists as- signed to solve the puzzle was of the opinion that the infants were mixed at the hospital and that the Bambergers have the Watkins baby and the Watkins the Bambergers' baby.
 Whatever the verdict, the two babies were in fair way of getting enough sleep for the first time since ger" week ago on the ahesive tape label stuck to the baby his wife brought home from the hospital. The discovery meant misery for both parents and progeny.
 Given Many Tests
 Lying on tables in the private laboratory of Dr. Arnold Kegel, health commissioner, the infants squirmed Tuesday under the hand ling of an anthropologist, patholo- gist, a criminologist, a, determatolo- gist, psychiatrist, an obstetrician, an opthalmologist and a detective.
 Drops of blood were taken from the soft. palpitating spots in their skulls. Their knees were rapped with a rubber mallet. Their blue eyes were peered at under a bright light. Their bones were measured with an X-ray machine and micro phcmetric device. Their skin was scrutinized under a magnifying lens. Their fingerprints and their foot prints were taken. And that was not all.
 From out of the huddle of scien- lists came a vail of protest.
 "Is that your baby or mine?" Mrs. Bamb berger asked Mrs. Watkins.
 That's what I'd like to know" Mrs. Watkins said.
 A conclusion that the babies were switched at the hospital and given to the wrong parents was reached by Dr. Gerhardt Von Bonin, anthropol- ogist of the University of Illinois, in his report on the case.
