Linderman was in the Douglas train
ing camp. 1t is not, however, the
first time that Linderman has re-
turned to the city to visit with his
friend Simonson.
This visit comes as the war veteran
is making his way from Chicago to
Los Angeles where he will now be
located as the district representative
of the General Electric company, hav-
ing been attached to the Chicago of

this change. Since the war he has
been with the Chicago office, all but
about four years of that time in
Chicago supervising the activities of
the company's jobbers, and that four
years was in the same work with
headquarters at Indianapolis.

Los Angeles home about year ago
and his mother and sisters have their

Deputy County Assessor James A.
Howell reported yesterday that the
number Of license applications has
fallen off each day this week until
yesterday there were but 80 applica-
tions. The total for the week was 1876
applications and altogether a633 ,appli-
cations have been taken ab the local
offices at the city hail.
The deputy assessor says that much
confusion has come from persons ap-
plying to James H. Kerby, secretary
of state for their certificates of title.
Howell states that sincex the recent
revision of motor vehicle laws and
rulings the secretary Of state has had
nothing to do with the work and sends
back all applications made to him.
The proper place to make applica-
ton for certificate Of title now is to
the motor vehicle division of the state
highway department in Phoenix.
Howell said yesterday that he expected
substantial increase in applications
for licenses following the next pay day
which will be after the twentieth OF

and lodged in the Douglas city Jail on
a charge of forgery, was released on
Friday afternoon when representatives
of the Federal Clothing store who had
filed the charge represented to Justice

wished to withdraw the complaint.
Durnhill was charged with having
signed his brothers name to check
for $50 which could not be collected at
the time of his arrest. 1t is under
stood that the matter was arranged
between Durnhill and the clothing
store representatives and the action
was dropped by the court on the ground
that insufficient witnesses could be

,ASSAYERS HAVE
MOVED TO NEW
COMPLETE SHOP

Hawley and Hawley, well known
local assayers have completed extern
sive repairs to the old Daily Fnterna-
tional plant on Twelfth street and
have made the former newspaper es-
tablishment into a first class assay
office and plant. The machinery has
all been installed and the firsm has
moved into its new quarters.
The members report that the re-
pairs to the building amounted to
much more than they had antici-
pated but that the results are graft
flying. They say that they now have
an ideal assay plant and an inspec-
ton of the interior of the building
convinces one that they have every
thing arranged to perfection.
The old building was rebuilt from
one end to the other and furnaces
and ovens were installed for the
treatment of the various metals with
which the assayers work so that now
everything is arranged in an orderly
manner and the different depart
ments have different rooms all to
themselves.
There are a large number Of in
tereSting things in the offices from
the seething acids to the blasting heat
of the furnaces where blower warns
little metal cups to a white hot heat
and where every thing is handled
with tongs. Assaying in Douglas, the
center of one of the most active
mining districts in the country, is an
Important business.

Attitude Non-Committal

| to allocate to Southern California
precious water from the Colorado,
which, Arizona contends, belongs to
her and will be needed within the State
in future development
Court action was threatened to test
constitutionality of the act, but a mo-
ton in the State Senate to appoint
committee to draw up plans for this
was not pressed after opposition was
expressed by the chair on the grounds
that more time was needed to arrive
at a mature decision.
Construction of the dam for the
hreefold purpose of flood control, ir-
rigation and power generation was
hailed by Mayor George E. Cryer of Los
Angeles as "the greatest work of in
ternal improvement undertaken by our
Government since construction of the
Panama Canal"
The mayor pictured the dam as
means toward the ultimate exemption
of Imperial Valley in California from
the menace of destructive floods and
droughts, and he said that Southern
California coastal cities now will be as
sured ample water for domestic use.

CIVIL SERVICE FUND
PUT AT Sl32,994,6D
AIcorn Files Retirement Fig-
ures for More Than 800, 900
Federal Workers.

To prepare members of Congress with
the latest actuarial information for deal
ing with the Dale-Lehlbach liberalized
civil service retirement bill promptly
after Congress returns from the Christ
mas recess. Robert H. Alcorn, chairman
of the Joint conference on retirement,
representative of more than 100000
Government employees, is laying before
each member the figures prepared by
DR.. Alvin H. Thompson of the Pension
Bureau.
This shows that already there is 8
balance in the retirement fund of $780,
994,67O, with contribution this year
of nearly $26,OOO00O by the employees
DR.. Thompson's estimates are that in
1941 the employees will be contributing
approximately 3l000,O00 to the fund
and that the balance in the fund that
year will be $537, ,332,944.
Mr. Alcorn in his statement to MEM
bers of the House is emphasizing that
DR.. Thompson's estimates have proved
exceedingly conservative. In DR.. Thomp-
sons testimony before the joint civil
service committee two years ago figures
were given which time has proven were
conservative To DR.. Thompson'S esti-
mates of the employees contributions
Mr.. Alcorn has added the nearly $20,-
100000 year which the Government
is now paying annually to amortiZe its
accrued indebtedness to the fund and
interest amounting to approximately
$50, 100000 year.
AlcOrn Estimates.
Mr.. Alcorn points out that Dr.
Thompson estimates the expenditures in
the. fiscal year of l941 at less than
$35, 100000 with an income of more
than $70,000,000 This does not seem
necessary" he says. Our own esti-
mates based on the best figures to date
give us approximately $620.O00,0 900 in
the fund July, 1912, with interest of
nearly $25,000,00O annually. With no
additional appropriations by the Gov
ernment except those now in force"
At meeting a week ago the Repub-
lican steering committee of the House
decided to work for the passage of four
of the big appropriation bills before the
Christmas holidays to the exclusion of
all other legislation. For this reason a
vote in the House on the Dale retire.
ment bill which has already passed the
Senate was postponed until after the
recess. The House leaders have prom
ised to let this bill come up for a vote
at the earliest possible date.

LOS ANGELES, December 22.-Jubi-
liant advocates of the Boulder Dam
project today turned their attention to
Utah's official attitude toward ratifica-
ton of the Colorado River compact, the
last legal barrier to building of the
highest dam ever constructed.
Agreement to the compact of Utah or
Arizona is needed before the Swing
Johnson Boulder Dam bill, which be-
came an act yesterday when President
Coolidge affixed to it his signature,
can become effective. Five of the river
basins States. California, Wyoming,
Nevada, Colorado and New Mexico,
have joined the compact framed in
Santa Fe in 1922. Six are needed.
Arizona steadily has opposed the bill
and received news of its passage with
dismay. With no hope of that State S
officials relenting in their attitude, in
terest turned in Utah'S probable future
course. That course appeared prob
lematical, with State officials and legis-
lative leaders hesitating to commit
themselves until they have studied the
amended measure.
President Coolidges approval of the
bill, which the House passed earlier
this week, was acclaimed with jubilation
in Southern California and with wild
JOY in Las Vegas, New. where an elab-
crate and prolonged civic celebration
was held.
Las Vegas would be first to feel eff
fects of construction of the dam in
Black Canyon. at an estimated cost
of $l65, 100000. Materials for the con-
struction must pass through there, and
a vast growth in population was

bank the assemblage gathered from all
walks of life and all creedS, walked to

the safe completion of the dam.

1t seems necessary, however, to
complain that the price of the book
is $3.50. The complaint in this case
is specific. It is both ironic and re-
grettable that this particular book
should be one of the most expensive
books of the year. The people that
these songs really belong to can't buy
it. Hardly anybody will get a pass
ing glance at it except through book
store window. The only thing really
the matter with the book, in fact, is
the capitalist system. Those who can
afford to buy the book will have in
almost every case only romantic or
patronizing attitude toward it's con-
tents.
Sandburg himself sometimes seems
inclined in this direction. He is apt
to be sentimental in his remarks
about these songs and the men and
women he got them from, feeling
supposedly permissible only in the
original sources. To market this ma
terial at $3.50 puts it on high shelf,
when it belongs low down. 1t creates
the impression that frankie and
Johnny are all dressed up with no
place to go. We are in favor of just
as good an edition to sell for ten
cents.

CLOWLY but surely our working

which it can well be proud. Some
day we will get the full story of the
two brave American marines who
turned their backs on the legions of
Wall Street and joined General San
dino's army of Nicaraguan liberation.
This reminds us of "the boys from
Michigan" who went over to the So
Wet forces on the Murmansk front
when the American imperialist army
invaded Soviet Russia. It's precisely
this spirit of resistance to imperialist
tyranny that is inspiring the courage

plane manufacturers, the oil produc-
ers, and all the other interests who
might profit by making America
"air-conscious" kept a close eye to the
box-office.
Lindbergh may have been simple
lad when he wrote this book, but he
certainly did memorize his little piece
about the wisdom of developing a gi-
gantic aircraft program. Soon, no
doubt, he will have another idyllic

eve" is remarkably honest book;
what is even more unique, it was I'M
doubtedly written by Lindbergh him
self and not by some persuasive
newspaperman temporarily out of a
job. Much of it is written tersely
and directly, almost in the form of
answers to questions which might
nave been put to him by desk SER
geant in a New York police court.
Most'of the book is taken up with
rather uninteresting personal Incl
dents, not of an intimate nature, prior
to his sensational nonstop flight
across the Atlantic; barely II pages
is devoted to the flight itself, and
the description is flat and listless.
suppose Lindbergh is a modest
chap; at any rate, the publishers hired
the inevitable journalist to write
about the tumultuous receptions to
the former air pilot. And in the last
pages may be found the ballyhoo

wined and feted, and how the Tam
many cake-eater, Jimmie Walker, sat
with him in an automobile while 81

BY far the most hilarious stuff in
the book are the speeches of such ma

Cal Coolidge, and the photographs in
which Ambassador Herrick invariably
succeeded in exhibiting his obtrusive
mug. This obscure individual dis
played remarkable knowledge of news
