championship chase IN the
lower bracket Of the Valley ANA
teur Basketball league will come to
q head in two engagements to-
night. The Harlingen Methodists,
undefeated leaders, tie into Geo.
Sanders second place Saints at San
Benito, and Sebastian and the
Brownsville Junior college Scorpions,
tied In third place. will play at Sc
bastian. Both Of these games will
be watched with keen interest. for
they are the only ones expected to
have much bearing on the champ
ionship race tonight.
THE dope favors the Methodists
and Sebastian. To outward appear
ances, the Sebastian team has but
two outstanding players-Pete and
Gus, the Nyquist brothers. But try
and beat them. They were downed
recently 4l-40 by the second place
Saints. In their last encounter
with the Scorps. they were nosed
out 1881. These boys from the edge
of the sandy land have plenty Of
fight. Any team that takes Its
measure knows IL has been IN a
holly fought game.
CAL SURTEES is turning In a
good Job with the Scorpions. OF
late, they have been going ike the
proyerbial house ablaze and topped
off their achievements with a one
sided victory over their hereditary
enemies-the Edinburg Junior Col
lege Broncs. Wednesday night these
fast moving clubs will play q re-
turn engagement on the Fort Brown
court. The Edinburg contingent
will be here with blood in its eyes.
Maurice Pipkin vas the individual
star OF the game at Edinburg. Pip
dribbled through the Broncs several
times to sink pretty baskets. A
large crowd will probably be on
hand TO witness the second en-
counter between the two college out
fits.
THERE will be two important
athletic meetings Wednesday night.
The future OF Valley baseball will
be decided upon at a meeting in
Harrington at the city hall. On the
same night. Cameron county high
school officials will meet at San

ment which will be held Friday and

pected to be Senator John H. Bouse.
William F. Jacobs has been asked

Norris has mentioned the subject to

Norris claims that in the lower end
of the district the elements hereto

POLITICS IN REVIEW
By the Man In The Street

and kept them that way till the anti
Richie forces were separated though
not captured. There does not appear
to have been any change of sentiment
among these people and if they have
no opportunity to vote in primary
they will do a deal of damage in the
general election.
All is not peace in the counties.
Queen Anne's county has a new ticket
to fight the machine slate and there
is a split in Kent. And the Somerset
Democrats are split wide open over
the candidacy of Loire Quinn for the
State Senate. The Quinn followers say
nobody except Quinn will be accept
able. So it appears that the county
will again be easy for the Republi-
cans.
In Baltimore county the getting to-
gether of the bosses has not been
satisfactory. A slate has been made
up with David G. Mcintosh, Jr., for
the Senate once more. And this dis
pleases a lot of Democrats. Many
think that Mcintosh, after once an
nouncing his retirement, should stay
retired. The excuse of the leaders
for putting him up again is that they
thereby prevent a primary fight. But
this is doubtful Democratic doctrine
since the party lives by fights.
There are Democrats out there anx-
ious to challenge the leadership of
Harrison Rider and w. Gill Smith
and there may be no better time to
fight it out than this year of grace.
James J. Lindsay wanted the nomi-
nation for the Senate and States At
torney Jenifer is said to have been
willing to run, as he has grown tired
of his present job. But there's McIn-
tosh again after his futile and polite
bout with the Governor.

RURAL AND URBAN AMER
ICA

The fact is that the United States
is not united. There are two Ameri-
cas- within our borders-an America
that takes it's cue from the city, and
this America that takes its cue from
the city has consistently gained
ground on the America that takes its
cue from the country, says Glenn
Frank, president of the University of
Wisconsin, who elabortes further as
follows:
"The man of the boulevard and the
man of the furrow are fighting for
control of the American future. The
trail of these two antagonistic Amer
icas can be followed in the natural
assemblies of our churches, where lib
eralism fights liberalism, and in the
national conventions Of our political
parties, where, by and large, city men
stick with city men and country men
stick with country men, despite the
powerful pressures for party regu-
larity.
The conflict between rural America
and urban America has up to date ex-
pressed itself politically in such is
sues as prohibition, religious regular
ity, radicalism and the like, with spor-
radio forays into the field of farm re-
lief. By and large, the split on these
issues has been a city-country split,

politicians to settle the issues which
today dominate our politics. They are
matters of social adjustment between
the dying and the dawning Of. a social
order. Rural Americas are adjusting
themselves to changes more slowly
than their city brothers. It is this
slowness of adjustment that is wrack-
ing the two political parties to pieces
and almost bringing the United States
government to a standstill.n

Brooke Lee and his crowd. Some say
that Lee is weakened by the alliance
with Richie while others aver that
Richie is weakened by his alliance
with Lee.
Lee has backed down a bit in the
latest legal procedure directed against
his control of the county money. Three
members of the Board of County Com
missioners who have been directors in
Lees paper, the Maryland News, have
withdrawn from active connection
with that enterprise, thus admitting
that the law was being violated by the
Commissioners giving business to a
concern in which they had an interest.
So to date the anti-Lee Democrats
have scored against the boss in no
less than three legal bouts.
In Anne Arundel county there is
much contention over the makeup of
a Democratic ticket. One of the fac
tors in the party down there, Jack
Flood, has just passed away and the
lower end of the county is actively
hostile to Governor Richie and his
lieutenants.

Dying OFF
One after another the Richie lead
ers die, the most recent to go being
Jack Flood, long the proprietor of a
beer garden at Curtis Bay. Flood
could deliver more votes in the upper
end of Anne Arundel county than any
other man and therefore he was given
great consideration by candidates.
Flood was of the DR.. George Wells
generation, few of whom are now left.
The last important activity of Flood
was in making a strong appeal to Re
preventative Stephen w. Gambrill not
to run against the Governor this year.
The recent mortality among the Rit-
chic leaders must be very discomfort
ing to the survivors.

The absolute absurdity of the idea
that the Soviet Union is dumping
anything here has been proved, not
only by the figures from the Union of
Socialist Soviet Republics, but by the
admissions of the leading grain
brokers in u. S. when testifying be-
fore the Fish Committee.
In addition, government figures
ANNOUNCED even in all capitalist
papers, show that the amount OF
goods exported to the Soviet Union
from United States is just five times
the amount OF Soviet goods sold in
the United States. Since 1t would
be inapracticable for the Soviet Union
to make many purchase here unless
IT can also sell here, what Oddie is
really doing by his bill Is to propose
unemployment for five times as many
workers in U. s. as would according
to oddie) be benefited by shutting
off imports to this country from the
Soviet Union.
But even these one-fifth would not

CHICAGO, Ill.-The politicians of
the Amalgamated Clothing Workers
Union are trying to levy tax of
$500 per member for unemployed
members of the union and are trying
to mi5lead the members and convince
them that this tax will solve the I'M
employed problem. At a recent meet
ing OF the union when the politicians
tried TO push the tax through, work
er got up at the meeting and ap-
pealed to the other members that
they should not vote for the tax. He
said that if the union wanted to help
the members who were not working
they should dig into their we'll filled
treasury, which the workers had
filled up during the past years, and
not make the workers themselves
carry the load and pay for the bust
ness crisis which every worker in the
trade was suffering from. The tailors
are getting only two hours a day
work and are making $500 and $500
a week How can they pay an $500
assessment?
Show True CoIors
Here is where the fun began The
business agents, Splitter and Ruth
barg, showed their true colors. They
began to attack the Communists say
ing that during the Philadelphia
strike the Communists scabbed on the
workers. The workers at the meeting
began to laugh at him. But he did
not tell the workers that the Amalga-
mated takers were fighting for a
company union while the Communists
in Philadelphia we're fighting for a
workers union.
Are Challenged
During the discussion on the mat
ter of unemployment, the leadership
of the AmaIgamated has shown that
they are not only a bunch of takers,
but that they are also a bunch of
towards and are afr9id of their own
shadows. One Of the girls asked the
business agent: why doesn't the
Amalgamated organize unemployed
demonstrations like other revolution
airy organizations, and take the hun
CRY workers on the streets and pro-
test against the system? why doesn't
the amalgamated fight that the boss
es should pay the wages while the
workers are out Of work."

packers were supposed to get an

but now they have taken out the

for dinner.
There were five packers in the ware
house. They were reduced to three
and now they left only one to do the
work formerly done by five.
SIS Per Week Pay
The pay of the packers in the
whole place is So per day or $10 pei
week. Many times they are forced
to work three hours overtime for only
so cents lunch money. Also they have
to work until they finish out the Or
