termined public sentiment at the pri-
maries or state conventions before the
national convention convened at Kan

first that those in charge were de-
termined to nominate the peoples

Hoover in whom they have implicit
confidence, knowing his outstanding
qualifications and ability to conduct
the affairs Of the nation in a sober,
sane ard efficient manner.

JOHNSON MOVES
TO GET ACTION
ON DAM BILL
BY PAUL r. MALLON
(United Press Staff Correspondent }

WASHINGTON, March 27. -
Senate leaders have reached an
agreement to break the BIRD bill'
filibuster tomorrow and take up the
new Jones flood control bill.
Advocates of the flood measure
predict it will be adopted and sent
to the house before the end Of the

At the same time leaders worked
out program which will permit
consideration in order of the pend
ing McNary Haugen bill and the
Johnson Boulder Canyon dam bill
after the work in flood control. De-
bate upon the Jones bill will not
last more than two or three days,
leaders believe.
Senator Johnson of California
said today he believes the Boulder
dam bin will become pending busi-
ness in the senate within two weeks
and that passage will follow short
ly thereafter.

rigation committee has applied to

Judge King To
Hear Land Case

A civil battle over n land lease
was opened in superior court, de-
partmcnt two, before Judge Percy
=. King, this morning. The action
is filed by a. Savas against +. P,
Wade. According to the complaint
the plaintiff rented a certain piece
of property from the defendant but
after he had lived on it for time
and built n house there, he was
ruled off by another party, who
proved ownership of the land.
The question to be fought out in
the court will be the question of
whether the defendant misrepre-
sentcd the location of the land
called for in the contract at the
time he leased the land to the plain
tiff. The contract calls for diff
tcrent piece of property than that
occupied by the plaintiff. c. l..
Brown is appearing for the plaintiff
and Utley and Nuffcr for the de-
fendant.

Line Closing To
Remain The Same

Terminating another effort to
open the international line at MGxi.
cali to traffic after O. clock, the
collector of customs at Calexico is
in receipt of 4 message from Sey-
mour Lowman. assistant secretary
of customs, stating that the line
will continue to close at 9 o'clock.
The customs service deems this a
compromise between those who
would close the line at clock and
those who would have it remain
open until midnight. The service
believes 9 O'Clock to be the most
equitable hour for closing, inasmuch
as it apparently works least hard
ship on business and private inter
ests on either side of the line.
These sentiments and the ruling
were set forth in Lowman S letter
to Harvey +. Shepherd, deputy col
lector in charge of customs at Cal
cXicO.

"LINDY" BEING
MADE LOBBYIST
BY CONCRESSMEN
Testifies Before Several
Committees in Behalf of
Aviation Needs.
By THOMAS L. STOKES
Omitted Press Staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON, March 27.-Col.
Charles \. Lindbergh is being fore
ed into the position of Il "super
lobbyist" by congressman who are
bringing him before congressional
committees to support their meas
urcs.
Twice within q week the flying
colonel has set, hands folded before
him on baize-cOvcrcd committee ia
blcs, and endorsed the principles of
legislation for aviation, answering
in slow, measured sentences the nu-
mcrous questions asked regarding
the matter in hand and aviation in
general.
On two occasions his name and
example also have been used in sup
port of legislation on the house
floor. Use of his endorsement of Il
bill extending the time of contracts
for airmail by Representative Kel-
ly, Republican, Pennsylvania, was
resented by Representative Laguar-
dia, Republican, New York, who OBJ
.jected to Lindbergh being brought
into the discussion.
Representative Kvale, farmer-la-
Dor, Minnesota, used Lindbergh in
an argument against the so-called
"national origins' provisions of
the immigration act, whose opera
ton Congress is about to postpone
again, pointing out that the aviator
the son of an immigrant, might not
have been born in this country had
such n law been in effect in the
late 10th century, when the elder
Lindbergh came to America.
Bring in Pet Schemes
Lindbergh IS first appearance be
fore house committee was to en-,
dorse the principle of the Furlow
bill, Increasing pay of army await
tors. His second appearance was
to endorse the Swing bill extending
the franking privilege of govern
mcnt departments and congressmer
to the airmail.
While Lindbergh was before com
mittees on each occasion, members
took discussion far afield, some tt
ask regarding "pet" ideas of theiI
own.
Meanwhile, Lindbergh is begin
ming to show the strain of the lime
light by declining newspaper inter
views and shying away from tho
cameras of relentless news photog
raphers, with whom he lately has
shown impatience.
