Opposition From
MatamoFos

A delegation OF Matamorus people,
representing the chamber OF COM
merce. labor unions, and other
groups in the city. will leave $atur-
day for Victoria, capital OF the state
Of Tamaulipas, Mexico, to confer

Of changing the route Of the Mata-
moros-V Victoria highway.

has yet been received from either
Governor CanSeco or Secretary OF
Public Works Francisco j. Mugica
OF the reported change In plans, the
report has been widespread In the
border section.
According to this report the new
plan would call for a change IN the
highway 70 link with the Matamoros-
Monterrey highway. instead Of go
ing straight south TO San Fernando
as has been planned In all discus
sions Of the read UP to the present.
In view Of statements made here
q short time ago by Secretary Mu-
gica and Governor CanSeco that the
road would be built from Matamoro6
to San Fernando doubt has been ex-
pressed OF authenticity OF the re-
ported change OF plans.
A wire to Governor CanSecO
brought a reply from him that the
matter Of route Is up to Secretary
Mugica, and Secretary Mugica has
net replied to q query sent him by
The Herald.
Leaders in Matamoros, working in
cooperation with Brownsville peo-
pie, have sent q brief on the matter
to the Mexican public works chief
and to Governor CanSeco, and the
delegation from Matamoro6 will dis
cuss the matter further.

moros Emilio Porter Gil, former
governor Of Tamaulipas and now a

ing Star intend the advertising
agency and the advertiser to believe
that the great bulk OF the popula-
ton Of those cities and their sur
rounding communities Is made up
Of negroes? If not, why the use of
the term WHITE population"2
We pass ever without comment
other obvious misrepresentation
pictured on the map, such as the
routing of the Arroyo Navigation
district proposed channel direct to
Port Isabel. rather than by the
arroyo route, leaving Rio Hondo
miles away from the actual chan
mel site.
Knowing the city OF Harlingen,
its people and its public and civic
bodies as we know them, we know
this sort Of thing Is far. far away
from their ideas Of Valley coopera-
ton. and that the Star stands alone
IN its effort to malign the great
Valley as a whole to its own per-
sonal and selfish benefit.
Harrington asks and GETS the
cooperation Of every Valley COM
munity in the staging Of the Annual
Valley MIDI Winter Fair, a Valley
institution. And when the Valley
Fair asks for cooperation from Mis-
sion and McAllen and Edinburg and
Donna and Port Isabel and Browns
vile and the rest Of the cities out
side that lying circle. Valley Fair
officials we'll know that they are not
asking. and receiving. cooperation
from a population largely made up
of negroes.
Harrington asks and gets the CO.
operation OF every Valley city in its
fight to secure the extension of the
Intra- Coastal Canal To Harlingen.
Directors Of the Intra- Coastal Canal
association reside from Brownsville
to Mission. and all work for the
greatest good TO the greatest num-
Der in doing their best to bring the
canal to Harlingen.
And so on down the line.
Be IL also said that Harrington,
through les chamber Of commerce
and Junior chamber OF commerce,
its city officials and luncheon clubs.
Is always among the first OF Valley
communities TO extend the helping
hand TO any project put forward by
any other Valley city.
Mr.. Tichenor Just has the wrong
idea Of the Valley, that's all.
This Valley was not built on COM
munity strife. on the setting of the
people Of one city against the peo-
pie of another. 1t was not built
and will never be built BY insinuat-
ing that the people Of Brownsville
or of McAllen are mostly negroes.
That sort of thing had never been
in the Valley prior to the time three
years ago when MI. Tfchenor took
over the Valley Morning Star. It does
not exist right now In the Valley
except in the business office Of the
Valley Morning Star.
The Brownsville Herald prints
this map with its lying circle and
other gross and intentional misre-
presentations that the people CT the
Valley may know what Is going on,
that they may know that in at

RADIO PATROL
BEATS SPOOKS
Pranksters Surprised AS
Police Cruisers Keep
Lid On Show

Halloween pranksters with q
turn for malicious mischief were at a
definite disadvantage here Thurs
day night when they found them
selves bucking a radio patrol for the
first time.
The "Spooks" with a bent fer
breaking windows. tearing down
signs and placing Instructions in the
streets were surprised BY the alac-
rity with which the police cars
rounded the corners when the rough
stuff began.
But that did not keep them from
trying. and before midnight some
25 disgruntled spooks - mostly
young boys were cooling their
heels at the police station. All were
released following a lecture on the
difference between clean fun and
malicious mischief.
With exception Of a few broken
windows and torn down signs, the
property damage In the city was
small. according TO Lieutenant OF
Police John Armstrong.
This was the first major test the
police radio patrol has been given.
With four radio-equipped cars roll
ing. it was a question Of only mo-
ments before calls in any part Of the
city were answered. Approximately
SIS calls were answered between Z
d. m. and midnight. Nest Of the hob
COLLINS, witches and spooks were
orderly and well-mannered al they
roamed the downtown section dur
ing the early part Of the night.
Later. however. rowing bands Of boys
in the cutter sections began enter
ing yards and then was when the
radio patrol went into action.
Three cars in the sheriff's DEPART
ment have been radio equipped ana
ran tests in the northern portion Of
the county Thursday night. They
reported excellent reception. The
cars Of Sheriff J.. A. Goolsby Chief
Deputy Will Cabler and County Traf-
fic Officer Bill Cabler r the ones
which have been radio-euuipDed.

sources that Italy has sent her

That the menace Of the wars

dangerous than the actual fighting
to date in Ethiopia was indicated
in an official announcement IN
Rome that said only one italian
officer and four italian enlisted
men had ~died in combat In Ethio-
pia. The death list was exclusive
OF native soldiers fighting for Italy.
Emperor Halle Selassie has re-
