MORE ABOUT THE LAGUNA MADRE
FISHING PROBLEM

In Sundays Brownsville Herald there
appeared an editorial urging those inter
ested for or against the proposal to close
the Laguna Madre to commercial fishing
to appear before the legislative committee
and express their views.
This committee, at last reports, was due
to arrive in the Valley on Monday or Tues
day and to stay here for several days in
order to properly pursue its investigation
Of the question.
We again urge all interested in the pro-
posal to appear before the committee and
air their views.
For the past three years this proposal
has bobbed up internationally and no pro-
posal Of recent years finds more ardent
supporters or more bitter opponents.
The difficulty, as far as a newspaper is
concerned, regarding the question has
been to bring the proponents and the OPP
ponents out into the open and to secure a
frank and fair discussion of the problem.
Those favoring the closing of the bay
to commercial fishing are strong in heir
convictions, but prefer to remain in the
background as far as letting themselves
and their views become known to the gen.
eral public, and the same thing is true to
a large extent of those opposing the clos
ing of the bay.
The only way this question can be per-
manently settled in a manner fair and
square to all is to bring the debate into the
light of day where the merits and de-
merits of the discussion may become APP
parent to all.
Visit Of the legislative committee offers
a wonderful opportunity of bringing about
this desirable state of affairs. After all,
if the bay is closed to fishing, it is the
legislatures business, and surely the legis-
lature will be guided very largely by the
views Of its own committee named to
delve into the question.
SO The Brownsville Herald again urges
ali interested in the proposal to appear
before the committee of representatives
when the hearing is held and to there adj
vance their respective views.

apt to stir up a great deal more trouble

The German people accepted most Of
Herr Hitler's innovations docileIy enough,
but his interference in church matters has
brought him nothing but criticism and de-
fiance.
What sort of omen all this may be for
the future of Nazi rule is a question no
man can answer just now. 1t Is a safe
guess, however, that the dictator would
be very glad to find some way Of dropping
this issue-since it turned out to be much

RELIEF FOR
ABLE-BODIED
UNEMPLOYED

SAN FRANCISCO, May %. UH
Federal funds we're available to-
day to provide work relief for able
bodied unemployed persons in Cali
fornia. R. c. Branion, state emer-
gency relief director, announced.
Branion said that the number OF
able-bodied persons for whom work
can be provided under the plan in
each community depends on the
ability of the local governmental
units to provide materials and su-
perVision "for worth while projects
of economic and social benefit to
the public at large"
Under this program the use OF
federal funds will be limited t.
meeting the cost of work relief to
those whose need is due to unem-
ployment," he said. 1.-The problem
of caring for those whose need
arises from other causes, such as
physical disability, will continue to
be the responsibility of the state
and the counties.
He said that action taken by the
present session of congress will de-
termine whether sufficient federal
funds will be available each month
to provide work relief in the state.
The emergency relief director
simultaneously announced a grant
of S3,500,000 to carry on federal
work relief in California. Special
funds will be provided for the care
of transient families, men, women
and boys who have been in the
state less than a year.
