OF BEVERLEY AS GOVERNOR
Won Natives by Sympathy as
Well as Efficiency as Law

ney General and Acting
Governor Of Island.
BY JAMES WALDO FAWCETT.


When President Hoover appointed
Mai, James Rumsey Beverley of ANA
rille, Tex, to succeed Col. Theodore
Roosevelt as governor of Porto Rico ne
took most of official and unofficial
Washington by surprise, but he did not
astonish the people OF Porto Rico Ine
latter have known Mai, Beverley for
nearly seven years, and Mr.. Hoover
could have made no other choice half
10 pleasing to the Inhabitants Of the
Island,
This, In any case, Is the enthusiastic
opinion of Don Felix CordoVa Davila,
resident commissioner; Senator Hiram
Bingham, who visited the island in 1928
and had the opportunity to observe MAJ.
Beverleys work there, Marvin Jones,
Representative from the Amarillo dis
triet of Texas, who has known the
Beverley family for more than 30 years;
Senator Morris Sheppard of Texas and
others In the Capital who are qualified
to judge.
From Distinguished Stock.
Mai. Beverley is a small-town boy
who has made good. He comes of stock
distinguished in the Lone Star State since
before there was any such thing, the
beverley elan having arrived in Texas
nearly century ago, His folks were
not well to do. and young Beverley had
to make his own way, Born IN 1894,
he demonstrated as child that he had
the capacity TO make choice and abide
by it. He knew what he wanted and
he went straight TO his goal.
He emerged from the University of
Texas In 1929 with an ABB. degree
returning to win his AM. and LIB.
the following year, He was admitted to
the Texas bar Immediately after graau,

SENATE To VOTE
ON DRY QUESTION
Bingham Resolution Favorlng
States Referenda on
Calendar.
BY the Associated Press.

| By the Associated Press.
The first chance at prohibition VOTE
this session came to the Senate today
in the attempt of Senator Bingham
Republican, Connecticut, to obtain &C
ton on a resolution proposing that Gov
ernors ask for referenda in their States
on repeal or modification.
The resolution was placed on the Sem
ate calendar by Bingham yesterday, as
supporting testimony was concluded in
committee on his plan to legalize
per cent beer.
The beer hearings suspended until
next week when prohibitionists, who
have carefully followed the testimony OF
long list of beer advocates. including
college presidents, physicians and teach
ers, will undertake a vigorous reply.
The position of the dry forces against
the beer bills has been consolidated
and defined in recent days through the
Anti-Saloon League Biennial Conven-
ton just ended, and other prohibition
meetings. All took firm stand.
Public Expression Desired.
Bingham's resolution would have the
Senate 90 on record as welcoming any
action by the State executives toward
getting an expression of popular opinion
within their realms on repeal or modl-
fleation OF both the eighteenth amend
ment and the Volstead act
Meantime, Henry H, Curran, president
of the Association Against the Prohibi-
oft af
congratulation to Bishop Ernest @,
dent of the Anti-Saloon League, for
your plea for a referendum by States"
Very respectfully say to you that
at last we are getting together, and 1t
is high time" Curran wrote, Your
plea for referendum by States to de-
eide the question of retention or repeal
of the eighteenth amendment Is such
an honest recognition Of our Nation s
need that must send you this word Of
congratulation, just as sincerely and
gratefully as ! can.
Referendum BY States.
You have put your finger on the
very point, OF course, the idea OF a
single Nationwide referendum betrays
ignorance of our Constitution. The
only constitutional way to do 1t Is by
States, Just as you say and the sooner
we do it and get this thing settled, the
better for us all.
THE Beck and Linthicum resolution
provide for Just such constitutional
referendum.
"You are the new president of the
Anti-Saloon League, viii you join with
me In marshaling the strength of our
two associations In favor of these reso-
lutions?
Both of our associations are striving
for order temperance and the public
peace, If we work together now We
can do a great service to our country,
When can I come over TO Philadel-
phia and make arrangements with you
for the joint campaign which our two
associations can now get under way7"

The legal argument In favor of such
a solution is that these debt agree

times with each individual nation, and
that consequently each one of them
could request the United States TO

years ago in the light of the present

1t appears most uni ,.ely that this
course should be adopted by any for

Needle Workers Rally
To the Support of
Com m unist Platform

NEW YORK.-Hundreds of work
ers crowded Memorial Hall Thurs
day afternoon to hear a discussion
of the platforms of the various po-
litical parties in the coming election
campaign.
Ben Gold, secretary of the Indus
trial Union, exposed the treacherous
activities of the three capitalist par
ties, particularly on the struggles of
the needle trades workers and the
support given by the Communist
Party to the struggles of the needle
trades workers as we'll as all other
struggles Of the working class of this
country.
He pointed out the fact that the
Communist Party initiated the move
ment for unemployment insurance
and is the only political party that is
carrying on real struggle against
imperialist war and for the defense
OF the Soviet Union. He called on
the needle trades workers to throw
themselves actively into the election
campaign, to form election campaign
committees in their shops and to sup
port and vote for the platform and
for the candidates Of the Commun-
list Party who are staunch fighters
and leaders Of the working class.

HIT DUBINSKY'S
FAKE DEMAND
Talks Week Work, But
Favors Piece Work

NEW YORK.-The hocus-pocus
permeating the latest strike" plans
of Dubinsky, head of the Interna-
tional Ladies' Garment Workers
Union, who announced today that
he was "oiling machinery for a mass
strike in the garment trade" was
laid bare today.
Dubinsky says the coming strike
will be called to abolish piece-work
and to establish the trade on a week
work basis. Indeed, week work is
what the cloakmakers demand. And
that is what the Needle Trades Work.
ers' Industrial Union is calling the
workers to fight for. But that is
not what Dubinsky is interested in.
Mr.. Uviller, head of the bosses
association, spilled the beans. Uviller
admits he is for piece-work. But
Mr.. Dubinsky's union, according to
Uviller, wants a week work agree
ment, but is not against winking at
bootleg piece-work.
The Needle Trades Workers Union
stands for a real united front struggle
of the rank and file for week work.
No bootleg piece-work must be toler-
ated. Set up committees in the shops
for this fight.
