S. F. Ramsey, president of the
chamber of commerce, held a hand-
ful of telegrams and Metters ex-
changed with Senator Johnson.
Johnson, in one telegram said his
action had not been hasty. In a
letter the Senator said he was in-
formed of the discrimination
charges by a constituent and that
he checked again "at my own ex-
pense" with two Texas friends "in
whom I have great confidence."
Johnson criticized the Three Rivers
Chamber of Commerce.
"In none of your communica-
tions do you deny the facts that
were presented to me," he said in
a letter.
REQUESTS SOURCES
Ramsey said he has asked the
Senator to reveal his sources of in-
formation but has received no re-
ply. In one telegram to Johnson the
chamber of commerce said: "If you
had investigated the matter thor-
oughly and not accepted Dr.
Garcia's report as being factual the
matter could not have reached na-
tional interest."
Representative Gray said the
state appropriations for the Good
Neighbor Commission should be
used to combat tuberculosis among
Latin-Americans in Texas.
"These people here are all Ameri-
cans," he said. "The Good Neighbor
Commission has no business mixing
in these things."
Gray said he told Thomas Suth-
erlan, executive secretary of the
commission, that the state office
would not have entered the case "if
an Irish boy had been involved."
