ALHAMBRA. Cal. Feb. L. Nathan sherman, previously re- ported kidnapped from his home in Alhambra and held for ran som in San Diego. is being held for his parents by the San Diego authorities.
 The boy was picked up late yesterday afternoon when he call ed at the San Diego Post office for the ransom money.
 The police said he admitted he wrote the ransom letter himself.
 The boy said he ran away from home and became desperate for money when the small amount he had with him had been spent. The idea of ransom seemed the easiest way to get money from home, His parents received a letter signed Joe Percy and it requested $200 for his return and asked that the letter be addressed care of the General Delivery, at San Diego.

VANCOUVER, B. C.. Feb. l. War with machine guns and rifles is being waged from a mne sweeper and small boats against thousands of sea lions off the Canadian Pacific coast-because their taste for fresh fish is hamp- ering the salmon industry.
 Thousands of the sea lions have been killed since the Canadian government declared war four years ago to preserve the fisher ies. Prospects are that hostilities will continue for some years to come.
 The patrol boat Givenchy, which served in the World war, is the base of operations of the lion hunters who stalk their game at sea.
 The annual hunts have been confined to the Virgin and Pearl Island groups. where the sea lions crowd the bare rocks in Charlotte Sound The warfare was concen- trated at these points because of

 Major J. A. Motherwell. chief inspector of fisheries for British Columbia. declares, however, tha. the sea lions kill fish not only for food, but also for the mere thrill of the killing.
 The Steller sea lion. the only species found in British Columbia waters, is larger than the Califor- mia sea lion and structurally dif- ferent. The males grow to 1000 to 1900 pounds and the females to 400 to 500 pounds.
 The pelt of the sea lion pup is beautiful and may become of commercial value like the hair seal.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-Move4 ments in behalf of Herbert C.. Hoover, Secretary of Commerce, and former Governor Frank O.. Lowden, of Illinois. for the Re- publican nomination, are well ad- vanced by overnight developments in the political arena.
 The Lowden candidacy is defin- itely out in the open with the announcement that nomination papers will be filed Saturday in Illinois where Lowden was once Governor. This was announced by Clarence Buck, who signed himself Manager. of the Lowden Campaign"
 Out for Hoover
 Not long after the Lowden de- velopment, Republican members of the House from California, met and gave endorsement for President to Hoover. The decis- ion was announced by Represent tative Curry, who said the States two Senators had not been invited to the caucus, one of being Sen-' ator Hiram Johnson, who in the past has been Presidential con tender himself.
 Representative Curry said Hoover was endorsed because of his national and International standing. rather than from a sec tional viewpoint.
 Adopt Resolution
 The resolution adopted reads as follows Although a native of Iowa, Herbert c. Hoover has been continuously resident of California for more than 35 years. We are proud therefore to propose his name as choice for President, because of his well known achievements as an en- gineer, as statesman and hu- manitarian; because of his char acter as man and because we believe he can make a great President"
 Lowden Statement Clarence Bucks statement on Lowden, reads: "The East is be- coming convinced that the Re- publicans must nominate a West ern man for the Presidency and Gov. Lowden is the most avail able. He has a national view point, and is one candidate who can be depended upon to carry the West and the Republican Party must sweep the West to be assured of victory"

BRITISH EMPIRE
UNITY MENACED
BY EGYPTIANS
Follow Example of Irish in
Demanding Complete
independence.
BY MILTON BRONNER
NEA Service Writer

LONDON, March 23.-British
statesmen who sighed with relief
when their troubles with Ireland
we're settled now find themselves
bang up against a bigger, more for
midable MoSlem Ireland-the land
of Egypt.
That is the meaning of the re-
lection by the Egyptian government
of the proposed treaty of alliance
and friendship between Great Brit
ain and Egypt.
The parallel between Ireland and
Egypt in many respects is striking.
Great Britain sat in Ireland with
her armies for centuries. Great
Britain has been sitting in Egypt
for forty-four years.
Great Britain asserted she could
not tolerate a totally free and in
dependent Ireland, because of the
danger of Ireland uniting with a
hostile power in time of war.
She asserts she can not permit
an independent Egypt because in
time of war she might find menaced
one of her greatest arteries of en-
pire-the Suez canal, a link in the
shortest way to India and Malaysia
and a good route to Australia and
New Zealand.
The Irish in their fight for indie
pendence formed the Sim Fein.
The Egyptians in their fight for in
dependence formed the Wafd.
Britain finally gave Ireland self
