Governor Goes
On Air Three
Times Sunday
Governor W. Lee O’Daniel started
with three radio broadcasts on Sun-
day, when one was given in person
and two by transcription Sunday in
a new broadcasting program.
Declaring he did not/know why
10 stations of a state-wide radio
network had cut off his regular
(8:30 a. m.) Sunday program from
the governor’s mansion, O’Daniel
said it would be repeated from
an Austin station later and again
at 6:30 p. m. from the 100,000-watt
XEAW station at Reynosa, Mexico.
The governor also . lauded estab-
lishment of the Southland Paper
Mills, Inc., at Herty near Lufkin,
congratulated the Lufkin Daily
New* on a 288-page special edition
on Wpening of the mills, urged peo-
ple to ga to church, asked citisens
to supply food and clothing to the
poor during the current cold wave,
suggested his listeners patronize
advertisers on stations over, which
he broadcast, thanked them for
“many friendly letters," extolled In-
dustrial opportunities in East Texas,
urged buying of lower Rio Grande
valley citrus products before prices
“skyrocket,” welcomed tourists to
Texas and declared professional pol-
iticians were hibernating to rest up
for the summer campaign.
“According to press reports,”
O’Daniel stated, “the Honorable Paul
V. McNutt, federal social security
administrator at Washington, D. C„
had some very critical remarks to
make about me as governor of this
great state of Texas—but he fol-
lowed his crytic remarks by some
rulings more favorable to the poor
people .of our state.”
McNutt last week approved a plan
by which persons could be added to
WPA rolls in Texas. The intake
f had been suspended several months
The administrator had
Daniel for not calling a special ses-
xion of the legislature to conaidqg _
... the problem.
’’May I remark.” the governor
continued, “that if it pleases the
Honorable Paul V. McNutt to abuse
me in order to encourage him to
help the poor people of our state
who need jobs and financial assis-
tance, I sm happy to take his abuse.
I am willing to take his unjustified
punishment and the unjustified criti-
cism of the demagogs in our own
state if it will help care for our old
folks and destitute men and woman
and helpless children.”
Asserting the state department
of public welfare was 51,807 certi-
fied names for WPA work ahead of
schedule, O’Daniel declared he, the
department. Senator Tens Connally
and others had been working on the
intake situation and that problem
had been solved.

Qualifications
Are Set Up
AUSTIN, Texas.—Fifteen job- in
six states have been calling for
University of Texas-trained home
economics graduates during the test
I six months, professors said today.
Because both the i institutional
| field and the custom of women in
! professional life are new in the
1 South, the growing demand for di-
rectors and dietitians has far out-
distanced the supply of trained
graduates. Miss Sosalic Godfrey,
business director of University resi-
dence halls, said.
Many of the requests for trained
and experienced directors of tea
rooms, country clubs, college resi-
dence halls and school lunch rooms
crossing the desks of Misa Godfrey
and Miss Selma Streit of Austin,
chairman of the placement bureau
of the American Dietetic Associa-
tion, have gone unfilled, despite in-
creased enrollment in institutional
administration and nutrition classes.

Snow that started falling in Gra-
ham about 2 a. m. this I Monday)
morning totaled close to two inches
by 7 a. m. and continued to fall
j most of the forenoon today. The
whole county was under a heavy
white blanket early today.
It was the heaviest snow-fall this
section has seen this year and ia
calculated to furnish moisture to
materially aid small grain crops.
It was a warm, dry snow and ac-
companied by very little wind.
It was feared the unusually low
temperature last week damaged
some of the oats and barley but
was not believed to have injured
the wheat.
From over the state come reports
of heavy snow in many sections.
Reports from several points indi-
cated it would be several days, when
the thaw begins, before the losses
to crops can be determined.
Citrus fruit in the lower Raw
Grande valley which apparently had
fared better than was anticipated
still faced additional freezing.
AUSTIN.—Qualifications of appli-
cants for Leopold St<kow»ki’s All-
