America not headed for desert say scientists

Appointed Judge Critz Starts Early Campaign Work
Judge Richard Critz, newly appointed to the Texas Supreme Court after William Pierson’s death, toured Collin County onion fields with Allred and visited Dallas for a druggists' convention. He will be up for election next year, aiming to build contacts in regions where he is less known. Pierson's term would have run to 1939, but appointees must stand for re election at the first regular ballot after appointment.

Swiss voters rejected a five year Socialist recovery plan aimed at easing depression after Geneva riots left women and children injured. The proposal would have enabled the National Assembly to shield salaries and farm prices without referenda, but was defeated 566000 to 426000 as cantons opposed the measure.
