We REMEMBER, Mr.. RICHARDSON

speaking from a reverse English standpoint I'M
perla Valley will certainly be pleased if Friend W.
Richardson decides to take the field against Hiram W.
Johnson for election to the United States Senate this
fall.
Friend Friend would have difficult shedding in
this neck of the woods unless Imperial Valley voters
are horribly shortminded and they have not been
found yet.
1t is hard indeed to forget the splendid coopera-
ton which Richardson governor of the state gave
to Imperial Valley in its fight for Boulder dam legis-
laon. 1t would be harder still recall it. for it never
existed.
Time and again Imperial Valley called to Rich
ardson for aid, but it might we'll have been calling
to the Great Wall of China, for all the response it
ceived. Not until Governor Young took office did the
state OF California officially, give ioa of support
to the Swing-J ohnson bill.
And friend Friend would against the man who
this is written is battling in the United States
Senate for Imperial Valley! Every Of energy
Senator Johnson has; every atom of parliamentary
skill he possesses; even his physical welbeng, is
thrown into the valleys fight.
Friend may run strong in some parts of the state,
but certainly not in Imperial Valley. As far as this
community is concerned he would probably get more
votes in Arizona than he would here

"BREAKS" COMING OUR WAY

Every follower of sports knows that the 'breaks"
quite often decide the winner They can helm an ath-
ee perhaps not as good his opponent to defeat the
latter. Ihey are unforeseen turns which pop up at
moments notice. with notice at all and he
top. ~ VII
Imperial Valley got two fine "breaks' Yesterday
IN connection with the SWING ohnson bill The first
was the action by the House practically DELAYING ad
9ournment until next Tuesday instead of Saturday of
TINS week The other the consistent defeat of
amendment after amendment offered by those opposed
TO the DILL and the passage of other amendments Of
fered by its proponents
, The action on the amendments is straw showing
the direction in which the wind is blowing and usti-
nes the assumption that the bill will pass in the House
as soon as vote is taken. Arizona's amendment
(Which was defeated) seeking delay on the bill for
year to give that state time to make up its mind about
the seven state compact is another straw Indicating
that Arizona is reading the handwriting on the wall
Delay IN adjournment is bound to give Senator
johnson better chance in the Senate AS stated in this

LINDY GOES TO WORK
and see.

In taking position with firm which proposes
to combine air and rail transportation for fast service
the continent, Colonel Lindbergh enters field
for which he is exceptionally we'll fitted.
Ever since his historical flight, many persons have
wondered just what he would do when it came time
for him to settle down after the hystera aroused
him had abated somewhat
That he would seek some connection involving
aeronautics only natural He could not possibly be
content in any other field.
The announcement of his association with the air
rail proposition is considerably indefinite merely stat
ing that he has accepted the Craftsmanship of advis
ory board. Whether afflation with a commercial
will prevent his contemplated European trip
this summer, is not known.
His decision to enter the commercial field, despite
repeated assertions that he would not do is proof
that air travel is longer novelty. Indeed he per
sonally, has regarded it such. The combina
tion of air and rail must be considered something Of
a temporary nature The time is close at hand when
air transportation all the way the country will
be an accepted fact.
At this time it might be well to state more
that Ell Centre has made provision for air travel.
