kA AEXICANS
ORGANIZE

Quoting a line from the MeXi-
can National anthem which says
that God gave you a soldier in
each SON., Colonial Rodolfo Sanchez
Taboada. governor of the north
ern territory of Baja California,
paid tribute on February "a to
Mexican mothers who have given
their sons to the army.
The occasion on which Col Ia
boada spoke was the "Dia de la
Bandera Or Mexican Flag Day
which was held at the Miguel Hi
dalgo school in Tijuana.
The ceremony held the interest
of Imperial Valley residents who
follow the course Of affairs across
the international border, since Col.
Taboada makes his headquarters
at MeXicali.
More than 5OCJ persons were
present in the gaily- decorated
grandstand at the Hidalgo school
stadium to witness the -colorful
ceremonies which commemorated
the anniversary of lei Plan de
Iguala,' the date on which the
Mexican people adopted their
hree-colored flag in 1921.
The Flag Day ceremony marked
the induction of the first group
of l9-year- draftees into the
Mexican army. The group of AZ
youths signed their names to a
hand embroidered flag, which had
been stitched by their mothers.
Their mothers were given small
medallions bearing the red, white
and green colors of the Mexican
flag, while the fathers were given
certificates of honor.
Presentation of the medals ano
certificates was made by General
de Division Juan Felipe Rico Is
las. commander of MeXico'S seconc
military zone.

tears filled the eyes of many.
I'm this moment of cruel battle
and bloodshed, these fine women
OF Mexico are standing with the
women of the United States, Rus
sia and Great Britain, giving their
sons to a noble cause" General
Rico said.
Mexican mothers are not only
giving up their SONS to fight for
freedom, but for the glory and
prestige of the Mexican flag
And these mothers can know
well their army will greet their
bows with love"
Forming q hollow square ON
three sides of the field were moret
than 1000 members OF MeXico'S
defense civil"-or home guard.
Smartly uniformed in suntan
khakis, leather bandoleers and
bayoneted rifles, they lent a stearn
military atmosphere to the pro-
gram.
General Rico paid tribute to the
defense civil which, he pointed
out, had become a smart, we'll
trained military outfit in three
months time in spite of the fact
that it was composed of civilians
and attendance was not compul-
sorry.
Here in Mexico he emphasized,
"the rich as we'll as the poor are
doing their bit to defend the coun-
try. The result will be a unity
such as this country has never be-
fore experienced.
In addition to Col. Taboada and
General Rico, other guests OF hon
or included General de Brigadier
Juan A. Costello, commander OF the
Tijuana Sub-sector; Gerald A,

accustomed every one did not mani
fest itself once. Not even when the
talk veered to subjects political So
cial, etc., on which Dame May feels
quite deeply. There are a number
Of such things in her life. Their
existence probably proves that it is
not inevitable that Hollywood takes
the minds of its residents of the
rest Of the world.
She is, for instance, so aware of
washington that she wonders why
in the world it does not have more
Legitimate theaters. Especially why
there is no state theater here. Every
great capital needs one, she thinks.
It is not that she thinks 1t impera-
tive to keep the theater alive, but
rather that the theater helps keep
nations and peoples alive. AS do all
those who have given the whole
of great lives to the theater, she
is completely Indifferent to the Pc
riodic laments that the theater Is
dying.
"Humph," she says to that, sound
ing for split second as she sounds
in those irascible elderly lady parts.
But only for split second.
Dame May is much more con-
cerned about the fate of the hu-
man race than she is about the
theater. The right peoples are do
ing a pretty admirable job in ham
ding the wrong peoples at this time,
but in her opinion the right peoples
were pretty stupid in the immedi-
ate past. 1mperialists, isolationists
and other SNUG groups are the ones
whose heads she would like to break
her cane over. What makes her
most indignant is that there still
are some Of them around in spite
Of the sanguinary evidence Of their
stupidity.
Dame May, who came here to tes-
tify before the Senate committee
investigating juvenile delinquency
about which she disavows any valu-
able knowledge, is proud OF the work

says. "Out Of the 81 in the original

Of course. We have four girls. how
ever, who have grown to like Amer
lea SO much they do not want to

nal plan, ours In bringing them here,
or that Of the American Government
In letting them come"
It has its manifestly funny side,
she admits, but 1t also is a problem
with which she must deal when she
returns to New York.
More proud than she is of her own
accomplishments in the theater is
Dame May Of those of her daughter
Margaret Webster. Miss Webster,

woman who has made Shakespeare

Webster one of the outstanding fg-

"She Is doing better work than

she says 1t as If she was much more
proud Of being Miss Webster's
mother than Of anything else she
ever accomplished.
"You must read her book" she
adds, like any other mother Of any

Snap Bean Prices May Be
Set; Growers Not Sure Yet

Although news dispatches from
Washington. ID. c.. indicated FRI
day that funds were available for
incentive payments on green snap
beans and green canning peas at
the rates previously announced by
Secretary Of Agriculture Claude
Wickard. Puyallup Valley packers
and growers organizations were
not quite sure what the announce
ment from the national capital
meant.
Recent estimates of the plant
ings II snap beans have been well
under the quota desired by the
state agricultural war board. The
estimate said that commitments
on bean paintings were being held
up pending the definite announce
ment Of a support price.
Early last winter Wickard set
a support price of $40 a ton
average price Of four grades) for
snap beans. This support was con-
tingent upon. the passage of a
500 900, 900 crop incentive sppro-
priation. Eventually this appropri-
alton was stymied in congress and
farmers then became hesitant
about new paintings.
