He blamed the Southern reac-

THAT section of the country
which contributed nothing to the
election of Roosevelt now has the
power to force him to name as his
State Department team group OF
reactionaries or mild liberals, to
force him to accept a compromise
that degrades Wallace and deprives
him of the ability to put into oper-
alton the only conservation program
that has been devised for the post
war period-a program to provide
jobs for the people in this country
who want to work." Mr.. Ethridge
said.
Indeed. the Democratic party at

Edmund K. Jarecki has disclosed
that an order for sale of LooI
property owned by Secretary of the
Interior Ickes for S4,274 in allegedly
delinquent taxes has existed since
November Is, 1914.
The judge said he entered judg-
ment on that date for sale Of Mr.
Ickes' building and many other
properties for tax delinquencies and
because no objection had been filed
in the Ickes case in the 80 days
thereafter the order stands.
Thus current petition by States
Attorney William j. Touhy for such
an order of sale of Mr. Ickes' prop
erty became unnecessary. Mr.
Touhy's assistant. Jacob Shamberg
said matters would be allowed to
rest until the projected sale. This
would not be for months in the
IckeS case. The county treasurer
now is selling properties listed in
his volume 8. Mr.. Ickes' property
is listed in volume SOB.
The November Is order was issued
before Mr.. Ickes was given tax

Senator Downey suggested that
unless this Is done, Mexico might
use surplus waters which would run
In the river until projects for their
consumption are built In the United
States, and thereby build up a civ
ilization which would have to be
torn down as the waters would be
withdrawn. He asked Mr.. Stone If
he did not believe this would give
Mexico a claim to a greater por-
ton Of the river, despite the treaty.
Mr.. Stone insisted that Mexico's
assent to q restriction on water use
under the treaty would be the best
guarantee this country could have
that Mexico will not make future
