Texan Attacks Bankhead Cotton Control Act Before Supreme Court
Texas planter Moor urges the Supreme Court to strike down the Bankhead cotton control act as unconstitutional. He argues the tax on excess cotton production violates the Tenth Amendment and intrudes on states’ rights, warning that sustained power could put federal authority over production beyond limit. Lower courts had dismissed Moor’s suit against the railroad for transporting his uncapped cotton.

Ovate board opposes clemency for ex pastor Welburn
A Texas board opposed clemency for William D. Welburn Jr., a former Methodist pastor serving a two seven year term for perjury in a divorce case. Gov. Allred delayed ruling after two hours of hearings with a San Antonio delegation led by Bob Coons. The Board of Pardons and Paroles recommended denial, noting Welburn’s lack of eligibility for clemency at this time. The panel cited extensive testimony from Welburn and others about alleged intimacy with Miss Long and the resulting pregnancy. The court’s verdict for perjury was affirmed, and Welburn remains ineligible for clemency or parole until he has served the minimum two years under parole rules.
