NO TAX MONEY
ISLONC THREAT
Withholding Relief Funds
May Force Louisiana
To Refuse to Pay

WASHINGTON. April %. F
Senator Long D-La) told the -
ate Monday Louisiana might refuse
TO pay federal taxes II the Roosevelt
administration withheld relief and
Public Works funds from that state.
In a 40-minute speech bristIng
with denunciation Of Secretary Ickes
and Harry L. Hopkins, relief admin
iStrator, Long asserted:
The president has set up a Boston
Tea Party Of his own. He thinks ne
will draw out taxes from the states
and withhold returns to them II they
refuse TO yield TO his dictates"
He paused. then added:
There might be another bind OF
a Tea Party. That Tea Party can
work both ways, don't forget. You
strip the states Of their sovereignty
in one way. and they will strip them
selves Of their obligations to pay the
debts in another"
Crowded galleries heard Long,
dressed in a new light summer suit
make his promised reply to Ickea
Soon after he sat down Senator
Schall R-Minn). persistent critic OF
the New Deal. accused the president
OF wanting no help from God" in
directing the nation.
Schali told the senate a young
Bible student from st. Paul. named
Henry j. Barrow. Jr., had recently
visited "our smiling president TO
urge him to set aside five minutes
for prayer for the nations troubles.
and against the impending drought"
The guardians at the portals OF
his august majesty informed this
young religious Zealot that the preSi-
dent could take care Of the situation,
that he wanted no help from God"
Schall said.
I'm short, IL his ambitions are full
filled and they seem upon the verge
OF being fulfilled. he win become

PORT BRIEF IS
FILED BY YATES
Arguments For 30 Feet Of
Water Are Submitted,
Oil Boosts Chance

The Brownsville seaport, now be-
ing built as a 25-foot project, may
expect a much greater amount Of
tonnage as a result Of developments
along both sides OF the Rio Grande
since the original hearing In 1929,
the Brownsville Navigation district
sets forth in its brief for a 3O-foot
harbor. just turned over to Colonel
E. H. Marks, district army engineer.
The brief was prepared by Judge
III. l.. Yates, attorney for the dis
trict, and was signed by the three
commissioners, w. O.. whitman, j. q.
Fernandez. and z. A. RoSSnthal.
Judge Yates takes the estimates Of
tonnage for the port which were
given the government engineers in
1929, at which time the Brownsville
project was approved, and shows the
additional tonnage that may be ex-
pected for the port now.
The greatest change Is the discov-
cry Of oil in Hidalgo and Starr coun-
ties, entirely changing the picture
rs a whole. since the port Of Browns
vile will be the export port for the
Valleys oil.
Developments in Mexico are also
covered In the brief, particularly the
industrial and agricultural growth in
Mexico during the past few years
An industrial survey of Monterrey,
made by G. G. Richardson Of the
Brownsville Chamber Of Commerce,
Is included.
The Brownsville Navigation dis
trict is asking that the additional
dredging to make a 30-foot harbor
out Of the Brownsville project be
done at the expense Of the govern
ment. the expense being estimated
at around $500.OO
The brief contains a considerable
amount Of data substantiating all the
estimates and arguments, the data
being in the form Of maps. satisfies,
letters, records, etc.
