was guest of honor and speaker of
the day at the regular Friday
luncheon of the Kiwanis club, held
at the Barbara Worth today
Mcclellan declared that he was
not a politician, but just business
man and would therefore not talk
about politics but make Il business
address principally about the
growth and development of I'M
perial county's neighbor, Los An
geles county.
Mcclellan asserted that the prob
lem of water and power for Im-
perial valley, was in his mind, large
ly problem of proper control. That
control of the Colorado river could
only be accomplished through the
construction of the high dam at
Boulder Canyon, and the digging of
the all-American canal.

SANTA BARBARA, Calf, Aug.
13 Plans for Il mental eXamina-
ton of Phillip II. Brown, accused
stranger of land-ladies in various
Pacific coast cities, were formuIat
ed by authorities today.
The mental test will be given the
accused man when j. Clark Sci
lers, Los Angeles criminologist, ar
rives here from Seattle. Sellers has
been working on the scientific side
of the ''dark strangler' case, hav-
ing made laboratory tests of all
available clues in the brutal muir
ders and assaults of which Brown
is accused.
The accused man, said to be q
former inmate of Patton insane asy-
lum, now indicates he may repud-
late the confessions attributed to
him by officers. r'
II didn't kill anybody,' he
said today. ~ will not plead
guilty and I want fair trial by
a jury
Previously, according to officers,
Brown mad asserted he would plead
guilty to attacks on women in Oak
land, San Jose, Santa Barbara and
San Francisco, and accept Il life
term of Imprisonment.
District Attorney Clarence Ward
is convinced that Brown is insane.
The alleged strangler is contradic
tory in his statements, and is ra
tional only at intervals, according
to the district attorney.
Upon the result of the contem-
plated insanity test will depend
whether Brown is placed on trial
or not, the prosecutor said.
off he is found insane we. of
course, will not attempt to place
him on trial, Ward said.

Wallace c. Gaines, now on trial for
the murder of his daughter Sylvia,
is found not guilty, he will be
charged on five counts with a grave
crime against the girl, the prosecu-
tors office announced here today.
Edwin d. Colvin, prosecutor, said
that evidence concerning Gaines
relations with Sylvia has convinced
him that the father should not es-
cape punishment, no matter what the
outcome of the present trial.
An effort will be made to make
the penalty aas severe as possible,
Colvin declared.
Louis Stern, to whom Gaines is
alleged to have made statements
indicating he killed his daughter,
was expected to be called as a state
witness at today's session of the
murder trial.

and his daughter spent the night
there last November, was feature
of Yesterday afternoon s session.

went into the room to make it up.
