News Review of Current Events by Edward W. Pickard
Resident Hoover urged moderation in requests to Congress for new appropriations to avoid tax increases. The White House breakfast with Republicans, Mellon, Mills, and Newton produced a list of $1.725 billion in proposed spending, drawing criticism from Senator Glass as a sham. The Dominican Republic faced a revolution with insurgents seizing Santo Domingo, while U S officials sought a peaceful settlement with Curtis and Cabot mediating. France saw Chautemps fall after a five day government, leaving Tar-dieu to form a new cabinet with naval conference aims intact. The naval talks continued with Britain and others inching toward tentative five power framework. Wheat markets fluctuated as Legge said the Farm Board would lean on cooperatives to stabilize prices, while Dupont discussed temperance reform to modernize liquor regulation. Cardinal Merry del Val, former secretary of state, died, joining a slate of notable obituaries.

Pigeons Used to Smuggle Narcotics Across Rio Grande
Texas customs officers say pigeons are being used to smuggle cocaine and other drugs from Mexico into the United States. Birds carry tiny aluminum capsules with small cash value, released after crossing the border to return home with contraband. Officials note the practice is aided by existing pigeon racing networks and the birds’ unwavering homing instinct, complicating interception efforts.
