A corporation has been in exis-
tence about Is years, with rights
preserved TO permit the state to
construct and utilize facilities for
the benefit OF the state parks sys-
tenn. Mr.. Colp has been actively
interested in the project yer since
the parks board was created and
he became its chairman.
T ) corporation. 1t is understood.
has the right to acquire rights OF
way for the purpose OF operating
q til road. and it Is in conjunction
with this right that the project
probably would be financed.
Purchase Of the necessary land in
connection with the park and roads
TO be constructed probably would
be made by the corporation, with
payment made by bonds issued by
the corporation. to be retired from
toll revenues.
1t is anticipated that efforts will
be made TO induce the Texas High
way department to build a road to
Flower Bluff, near Corpus Christi.
from which q causeway TO Padre
Island would be constructed. No
definite announcement has been
r--de as to the location OF a cause
way at the lower end Of the island.
bur 1t Is assumed that the connec-
ton would be made with the city OF
-ort Isabel.
Ownership OF Padre Island Is
vested in several hands, with the
greater part Of the island controlled
by the Jones Brothers OF Kansas
City. II is understood that a ten
.ative agreement for the purchase
d their interest has been reached.
The King Ranch owns the next
largest piece Of the island. with the
south end owned by several Valley
people and firms.
Recently, efforts to secure con-
struction OF a highway through
Kennedy county were successful. and
the highway commission has prom
ised to start the construction at an
early time. Proposals for construc-
ton Of the beach highway on Padre
island. and highway links and
causeways to connect It now r Ia
supplement, rather than Supplani
the direct highway To the lower
Rio Grande Valley country. So fal
as known. nothing stands in tho
way Of completing the Kencdy
county link. since the large ranch
owners dominating the county have
made a right Of way available. a:
the result Of aggressive efforts by
Sen. Jim Neal Of the district. The
project OF additional roads would
be to open access to scenic attrac-
tions and a resort section: and Il
create another one OF the far-flunG
state parks in the system built BY

QUEENS DEATH
SHOCKSSWEDEN


STOCKHOLM, Aug. 20. RD-Cit-
liens OF Stockholm wept openly Tn
the streets OF the capital Thursday
as they learned CT the death OF
their beloved Astrid In an auto
mobile accident near Lucerne.
The Belgian queen had the I'M
disputed reputation I'm this. her
native land, as the most beloved OF
Swedish princesses.
No single event In years has 80
stunned Sweden.
Men and women wept unashamed
tears as they read first accounts OF
the death In hurriedly prepared
newspaper extras.
Astrid's aging parents, Prince
Karl and Princess Ingelborg, were
reported under q doctors care, with
the mother Frustrated.
Other members Of the Swedish
royal family were hurriedly sum-
moned.
Business in Stockholm was mo-
mentarily halted at word of the
accident first spread about. Work
men dropped their tools to read the
newspaper accounts. Many openly
declared that Astrid's marriage to
Leopold was the most perfect love
match in the history OF Swedish
royalty.
Memories were recalled OF the
days when the handsome young
Belgian prince, counting the dark
haired Astrid, travelled incognito In
q third class railway carriage from
Brussels to Stockholm that he
might spend q few hours alone with
the girl Of his choice.
May anecdotes we're retold. One
Of the favorite stories was that
Leopold and Astrid ~strolling to-
gether with other couples In a
Stockholm park In the evening
hours.
The tremendous popularity OF
Astrid here had its last expression
during the marriage OF Princess
Ingrid 10 Crown Prince Frederic OF
Denmark, when crowds cheered
wildly the sight OF the Belgian
queen who twice 0ntuFed into q
drizzling rain that she might wave
greetings TO her admirers.
No princess had a more demo-
cratic training than Astrid. Hel
education. a classical one, included
a course In housekeeping and cook
ing.
Many visitors to Prince Karl's
home In days gone by had tea serv-
ed by the young princess.

In a northern edge test in the Sam
fordyce field Of southwestern Hi
dalgo county Wednesday, while one
new well was being completed IN the
same area and a number Of new
tests were moving In or getting un-

Five wildcats in Hidalgo and VIII

ported to have cored a gas sand az
2,632-59 feet, fully 100 feet higher
than anticipated, and to have cor
ed three feet Of a saturated oil sand
at 2,737-40 feet. These figures are
subject to revision and correction,
there having been some disagree
ment because Of the high surface ell
ovation. Regardless Of exact fig
r the test is attracting unusual
interest because Of its northerly To-
cation and the fact that 1t is run
ming unusually high as compared
with the regular field sands.
About 500 feet northeast OF the
discovery well, Ralph E. Fair, Inc,

HEARST WANTS
AL SMITH TO
HEAD TICKET
Happy Warrior May
Oppose F. d. r. For
ID c m o Nomination
In 1886

SANTA MONICA, Calf, Aug. 20.
R3ZThe name Of Alfred Z. Smith
WAS thrust into the 1896 presiden-
tial outlook Thursday by william
Randolph Hearst's statement that
the New Yorker would make a
powerful candidate"
Some Washington circles X
pressed amazement at the pub
fishers statement Wednesday night
becar-, OF political enmity hereto
fore existing between Hearst and
the happy warrior" Of many poll
teal battles.
Powerful Candidate?
Declaring that Smith, who was
the democratic presidential nominee
against Herbert Hoover In 1928. Is
"the accredited leader Of the
genuine democratic party" Hearst
said he thought the New Yorker
would make a powerful candidate"
+ srring to published reports
that he would support the candi-
date OF q proposed constitutional"
democratic party, Hearst said he
did not know what party he would
support, he said, however. he
thought there should be a Jeffer-
sonian democratic party In the
field"
The availability Of Smith to lead
an independent ticket or oppose
President Roosevelt for renomina-
ton has been discussed In some
quarters for months. The former
New York governor has taken no
publ. notice Of the efforts in his
behalf, but has appeared a critic
OF New Deal policies.
II was Hearst who was indirectly
responsible for Smith failing to
dominate the 1892 democratic nomi-
nation In Chicago. william Gibbs
McAdoo. who rode into the United
States s~enatorship In California on
the Hearst-sponsored ticket with
John Nance Garner at the top,
started the swing to Roosevelt In
Chicago when he threw the Cali
forniate vote TO him.
Former Enemies
In 1922. when Charles +. Murphy,
the late Tammany leader, backed
Hearst for United States senator
on the New York ticket with Smith
running for governor. Smith turn
ed thumbs down on Hearst. The
result was that DR.. Royal S. Cope
land, a writer for Hearst news
papers. was chosen for the senate
and won with Smith.
Smith was termed by the pub
Usher as being the democratic
party's latest presidential candi-
date"
His principles are the historic
principles Of the party" Hearst
said. in a statement which also ap-
pears Thursday in his newspapers
fn the form OF an editorial.
Associated with him should be
some notable southern democrat
like Governor Richie. or Senator
Byrd, or Governor Talmadge."
