Some OF the convicts claimed
they we're treated so harshly in

manned themselves so they could
spend a while in the hospital.
Most Of them cut gashes IN
their legs or clipped Of their fling

Five Of the convicts had manned
themselves SO badly they were un-
able TO appear before the investi-

Seven others, most OF them on

Citrus Tree Census
Will Be Passed Up
Especial TO ME Heraidl

HARLINGEN. April l6.-No tree
census will be taken by the Mexican
fruit fly quarantine service for the
first time since its Inauguration in
the Valley. according TO p. A.
Hoidale who Is In charge.
The census has been made an
nually for administrative purposes
and the information obtained was
given out 70 the public as an ac-
commodation. Hoidale said that 1t
is felt that within 90 to 90 days the
census would be inaccurate because
there are still so many trees on
the borderline OF recovery fom the
freeze.
The census IN past years has
shown an annual gain in paintings
and total acreage.
Tree 10 tree inspection is expected
10 be completed this week and when
this is done the inspectors are ex-
pected to devote their attention TO
trapping operations and 70 spraying
orchards where adult and larval
infestations or the fly were found.
The counties are providing the
labor for these operations and the
~. 2. Department OF Agriculture Is
providing the materials.
II is felt that conditions are as
good as at the beginning Of any
host free period. There Is danger
OF flies emerging from the ground
where pupation has taken place
from fallen fruit that was not pick
ed up but generally. Mr.. Hoidale
regards conditions as good.

Of Guilds Production
A la Nude

ALBANY. N. Y, April I6.-P-
Shortly after the Nudist Theater
Guild players had climbed back in
70 their clothes at the end OF a pri-
waite New York premiere. the legis-
lature turned thumbs down early
Tuesday on nudism In the state.
The legislatures passage of an
anti-nudiSm biz, cnampioned by
former Governor Alfred Z. Smith
a. counsel for the Legion OF Decency
OF New York. raised doubt as 70
how long the Guilds light-clad,
Stream-hned version Of The Girl
From Childs' would run.
The anti-nudism bill specifically
would ring down the curtain on the
play. It was approved by both as
Sembly and senate. and vent before
Gov. Herbert H. Lehman tor sigma
tUre or veto.
"NudiSm breaks down the moral
ity OF our people," Democratic Floor
Leader John r. Killgrew told the
assembly. We can go way back TO
Aoam and Eve. and even they wore
a big leaf"
The measure found an opponent
ia AsSemblyman Oswald d. Heck,
Schenectady republican. who cou-
pied his attack with a criticism Of
former Governor Smith.
If these people want TO gambol
in the woods. let them. AS long as
they don't come out in the open
why should we bother them?" he
Saio.
The bill provides that persons OF
opposite sex appearing In the nude
shall be charged with a misdemean-
or. and that owners OF property on
which nudiSm Is practiced shall be
guilty Of the same offense.
The showing Of the nudistS' pro-
duction Monday night was for crit
les and guests. The play will have
its first public performance In New
York Tuesday night.

of the old melodrama are laid in
