The Waterbury Democrat., 1939-06-29

The letter, which makes no bones about Germany's purpose, reads as follows:
 ''As you know, it will be only short time until we are in the midst of another national cam- paign. In order to accomplish this result, it is necessary that we call on all party officials to give us their active support in the matter of raising cam- paign funds and selecting dele gates who are truly representa- tive of Texas Democracy. Out
 of the various groups which we call on to help us, I wish to call your attention to the County and Precinct chairmen. It is my belief that in order to secure their full cooperation and to give them proper recognition in their various counties, 1t is necessary that we do something for them in the way of patron age.
 Tt is my understanding that / early in 1940, machinery will be set up to take a federal census. hope that you can assist me in giving the county chairman proper recognition and it oc- cured to me that this might be the means through which they could be taken care of. I feel that if you could cooperate in this matter it would strengthen my hand greatly and would result in much good to your own standing in your district"
 In the 1930 census, over $557,- 900 was spent for salaries in Texas. Census Bureau officials estimate that the outlay in the state for next years cenus will be close to $750.000.
 UvALDE'S GIFT TO NATION
 Germany's letter, dated June 10, was followed few days later by a speech in Grand Saline, Texas, in which he declared that the democratic principles of the D.. s. were sure to be wrecked unless saved by a leader like Garner.
 "I am of the firm belief" Germany said "that somehow the great God of the universe has raised up for us and trained for this crisis this man from southwest Texas John Nance Garner"
 He spoke at pioneers reunion and local fiddlers' contest where he received a number of con- gratulatory messages among them one from Postmaster General Jim Farley and another from Con- gressman Paul J. Kilday, who de- feated Maury Maverick. outspoken New Dealer and Garner foe, for reelection in 1888.

 "What's that nOise?" she asked.
 "That's MT. Garst, the Re- gionaI Director" was the an- swer.
 "Is there anything. the mat ter?"
 "No. he's talking to Washing ton."
 aWhy doesn't he use the tele- phone?" asked Miss Flynn. CHIEF OF STAFF
 General Malin Craig, tough but kindly chief of staff. goes on leave of absence July 1, thereby ending 45 years of continuous military service and @ great army career.
 The general will go first to St. Joseph, Mo-. the home of his late parents, then probably will make his permanent home in California. Craig is GA, the age at which re- tirement is compelled by law, but he looks forward to retirement Q little sadly.
 q don't know what m do with myself" he says. "I'll Just have tO sit around and try t0 figure ways of keeping from zoe ing to seed.
 sBut it's only right that we old fellows should get out" cons tined the general with his usual frankness. "We're blocking the way Of younger fellows. and ifs best for the Army that the young officers should come to the tep."
