FOOD SENT GARNER BY BORDER FRIEND Mexican He Defended as| Lawyer Sorry for Vice Pres- ident Far From Home. By the Associated Press. On tortillas and tamales, dried goat meat and garebangas that have highest vitamin content any bean, Speaker John Garner can now feast to his heart's content All these Texas border delicacies, an many more, came to him today from Juna Mora, a 70-year-old Mexican, who. looking at pictures in the paper, had | become much worried over the diet of | the Vice President-elect Unable to get_his gift to its destina- tion in English, Juan made Sam Robert- son, San Benito, Tex., engineer, his | agent | “He brought me a picture cut from & newspaper showing Mrs. Garner cooking in your office,” Robertson wrote Garner. “He was fecling very sad be- cause you live so far away among the Yankees in the snow and ice where there is nothing fit for a brush-raised Texan to eat. Defended In Trial. “He said many years ago he was framed by another Mexican on a goat | stealing charge, and you defended him, | proving his innocence, and that he loves you as a father and many times cooked for you on hunting and fishing trips. “Therefore, he has prepared for you some Mexican ranch food. I have been ceviled by him for months to send these things to you, and finally prom- 1sed to do so.” Annotations that would delight an epicurean, Robertson’s translation of Mora’s instructions, accompanied the big box filled with such odd artices as shucks to wrap tamales in, cracklins to make cracklin’ bread, camino seed for flavoring, and peloncilla, a or sugar in the form of a cone. ! ne read: “The masa (corn for tor- | tillas) was made on a metate (hand | mortar) because masa made in a tor- | tortilla mill is not fit for a brush-raised | Texan to eat.” | Another: “He statcs fresh meat is unfit for chili con carne. He butchered a goat fed on wajia brush, which gives | the goat meat the proper flavor. He | dried it on a wirc stretched above good mesquite coals and a ‘mosca’ | (fly) never roosted on it.” Clay “Jarro” for Cooking. Juan sent along a clay “jarro” in | which to cook the chili, because if it were cooked in iron it would ruin the delicate flavor of the wajai brush con- tained in the meat. | The chili, home grown, was accom- | penied a bottle of green chili capine | (hot peppers). For Mrs. Garner, Juan's wife sent nopales and calavasos (sweetmeats) and raisins to be stewed with the cone sugar, which was pronounced much finer sweetening than American white sugar. Mrs. Mora thought Mrs. Garner had been away for so long she might have forgotten to prepare garlic the right way, so some of that came, too. For smokes,” the Speaker was sent slim cigarettes of corn shuck wrapping, containing Caballo Negro leaf tobacco pronounced by Juan “the only tobac- co fit for a human to smoke.” But the old Mexican's supreme con- tribution has not yet arrived. Robertson related it thus: “He said he had a litre of pure San - Carlos mescal for you which has been for monghs in the pig skin curing. I told him if I attempted to send it, we would all find our way to Frank Brown's jail. “He will hold the mescal in the pig &kin until it is no longer ‘contrabando’ at which time I have promised to for- ward it to you.” b 135 SHIPS DECLARED NEEDED BY U. S. NAVY Estimates Show Fleet Requires 316,530 Tons to Meet London Treaty Strength. By the Associated Press. The Navy Department estimated yes- terday that the United States would have to build 135 ships of 316,530 tons by December 31, 1936, to bring the United States up to London treaty strength. The estimate was prepared for the Senate Naval Committee. It listed the required construction as follows: Three aircraft carxiers totaling 55.200 tons, nine cruisers of 87,100 tons, 89 destroy- ers of 133,500 tons and 34 submarines of 40.730 tons. The pamphlet said Great Britain in each recent year has had a uniform building program of three cruisers, nine destroyers, three submarines and several miscellaneous craft. The first lord of the admiralty was quoted as telling Par- llament last March: “We must have the ships which we are allowed to have by 1936 by our treaties and there is no doubt that we &hall have them.” Japan's 1933 program was said to pro- vide for all authorized replacements except 5,200 tons of destroyers that may be laid down in 1935 and the same amount in 1936.

LOS ANGELES, .anuary 28.—The Immigration Department’s long-antic- H ipated drive against aliens in the Holly- wood film colony was on full blast tonight, with Maureen O'Sullivan, Irish actress, and John Farrow, film writer, heading the long list of persons to come under the Federal Government's scrutiny. Murray W. Garsson, special assistant to the Secretary of Labor, said Miss O'Sullivan was being questioned con- cerning her permit to remain in the United States, and was being interrogat- ed also in connection with deportation proceedings that might involve Farrow. Complaints on Farrow. Federal agents said complaints had reached them about Farrow and that, regardless of thé status of his permit, action might be instituted to return him to his homeland, which they said was | Australia. haustive questioning of various screen celebrities is contemplated, the agents intimated. Garsson would not say what the nature of the information was that he desired from Miss O'Sullivan about Farrow. At one time she was Farrow’s frequent companion in Hollywood and there were reports the couple was engaged. Only recently the Irish miss, a strik- ing brunette, who perhaps is best known as the feminine lead with Johnny Weissmuller in the recent picture “Tarzan,” said she intended to return to Ireland. Later she told friends she had given up those plans and would remain in the United States. Hearing Is Thursday. Farrow was at liberty under $2,500 bond, his hearing scheduled next Thurs- day on charges of overstaying his leave | in this country. He was said to have first entered the United States as a seaman and to have left under threats of deportation, only to return once more. Immigration agents disclosed that | about 15 motion picture actors and | technicians had overstayed their permits and were subject to arrest, but would not say who else they contemplated questioning.
