Cycle Rider Is
Badly Injured

Ulrieh Jasper, 10, of phoeniy,
Ariz., is resting easy in the FL Cen
tro hospital this morning after
suffering serious and painful ac-
cident late yesterday afternoon
when his motorcycle was hit by a
Ford truck driven by Bill Dokas,
three miles east of here on the
Holtville highway.
Jasper, who is said to have come
from Kansas to Phoenix, and who
was on his way to Los Angeles
astride the motorcycle, crashed
headlong into the truck when
Dokas, it is alleged, made left
hand turn off the highway to ouil
into a fruit stand.
The youngster was picked up by
passing motorists, who lead BY
Floyd Ackley, state traffic officer,
made fast run to the hospital
here. When examined it was found
that Jasper had suffered broken
wrist, broken leg, several cracked
ribs and possible eoncussion of
the brain.
Dokas is being held by county
authorities on reckless driving
charges preferred by Aekley. A wit
ness, l.. Thompson, stated to the
officer he had seen the accident and
declared Dokas was at fault BE-
cause he pulled over to the left di-
rectly in the path of the motor
cycle.

Fifth and State streets. 1t is un-
derstood that when he finishes his
plans on the new California he will
proceed to improve also his other
property.
The owner is changing the name
of the Oregon because, as he stated
today, the hotel has reached its ma
jority, is getting a new dress both
inside and out and therefore it
might just as well have a new name,
a name that is more appropriate
because it is located in this state
and not where the old name indi-
Gates.
A huge electric Neon sign has al
ready been erected and the old sign
taken down. The sign, erected many
feet above the roof of the building
and supported by a steel web struc-
ture, may be seen for miles in any
direction.
Other improvements in the new
California include the installation of
new and complete heating, cooling
and ventilation systems as well as
telephones in every room.
The heating and ventilation sys-
tenn is a combination affair. The
old steam radiators have been taken
out completely and hereafter each
room will be warmed during the cold
months of the year by the use Of a
constant warm air system.
During the summer time each
room will be air cooled and be more
comfortable than it is now under
the present system. However, the
rooms now, at least most of them,
are connected with cooling system,
which while efficient, cannot be
compared with the new installation.
When asked the reason for the
extensive improvements and re-
modelling Bruner said:
"This city is destined to grow
and grow fast within the next 10
wears and there is little doubt in my
mind but that FL Centre will have
$4,000 persons or more before l94O.
The handwriting is on the wall and

inevitable.

OREGON HOTEL
TO BE KNOWN
AS CALIFORNIA

''When alterations have been
complete the new California Hotel,
now known as the Oregon, will be
one of the most beautiful structures
in Imperial Valley John Bruner,
owner and manager stated this
morning when asked to explain his
plans in remodeling the property.
The Oregon, reaching its majority
this year, was built 2l years ago and
is one of the oldest hotels in the
valley. 1t has been redecorated
and remodeled throughout the in
terror several times before but never
has it received an outer dress such
as it is being given now.
The plans of the owner, which are
now being carried out are so exten-
sive that they will cost more than
$4,000. Not only will some 30
rooms be added and a third story
constructed, but most of the rooms
will be refurnished, sOlarium will
be built on the roof and the entire
outside will be remodeled and deco
rated in the latest and most ap-
proved Spanish style.
Perhaps the best illustration to
give an idea what the new Califor-
MIA will look like is to draw atten-
tion TO the Richfield service station
at the Imperial Airport. The hotel
win be white plastered and the roof
Spanish tiled. At each corner of
the roof will be erected minarets or
towers and series of wrought iron
ornamental lamps will line the edge
of the roof along Fifth street and
Broadway.
81 am installing the latest type
of elevator. also,p Bruner said to-
day, "an improvement that / have
long wanted TO make. This lift
will eliminate the heavy stairs traf-
fic and will make going to the
third floor, the new addition, more
convenient.
"The so new rooms will be locat-
ed partly on the new third floor
and the rest around the front of the
building over the arcade. Incl
dentally | am having the architee-
ture Of the arcade changed so that
il will present more attractive ap-
pearanee.
''All of the work is being done by
local contractors and local work
men, more than 25 now being EN-
ployed. Materials also are bought
locally

'RICHFIELD USES
PLANES TO FILE
BOND INDENTURE'

Los ANGELES, July l2.-[Spe-
cial)-Every reader of popular
fiction knows the good old subslan
tiai .plot' of the race to file the
papers, 1t has been utilized By
authors of thousand thrillers. The
hero is about to be defrauded of hls
little ranch because there is legal
clause that the mortgage must be
lifted at the county seat by a Ger
tain hour. The villain, of course,
seeks to stop the filing. But the
hero-always horsehacb galiops
through death traps, through burn
ed bridges, past gangs of waylay
ers, etc., and draws rein just in
time to prevent the foreclosure.
This dictionary trick of the
writer's had a recent real counter
part in modern business life in
California when the Richfield Oil
Company utilized three speedy air
planes and four high-powered motor
ears to file the ''papers within "A
single day in A different county
seats.
The hero in this case was the
Richfield Company; the planes and
cars were the trusted steeds; the
villain was Father Time. For, had
ordinary mail transportation been
used to file eounterparts of bond
indenture covering a So, 100000 s.
per cent issue, the delay would have
cost approximately $4,000 in in
terest charges.
At is was, with planes and cars
rushing the papers over the state
as soon as they were received from
the printers at o o'clock in the
morning, by SIS O'Clock that same
night, telegraphic advice from the
last of the "A counties was in the
hands Of President C. NJ. Fuller at
Los Angeles, showing that the
monumental time battle had been
accomplished-seheming old Father
Time was thwarted-the curtain
dropped on a happy ending of ii
1929 model transportation drama.
Making the event even more
dramatic and colorful was the fact
that, on some of the plane routes,
airports were not available near
county seats. There the papers, en-
closed in aluminium tubes, were
dropped by parachute at points ar
ranged for by ong-distanee tele
phone.
None other than Richfield regular
employees, and nothing but Rich
field and operated equip
ment, was used.
"This has proved, more than any
other previous thing, the high
value of company-owned airplanes
for corporation use,' was the com
ment of President Fuller of Rich
field.
In each county seat-or with
close haison distance-Rishfield
representatives were waiting to re-
ceive the indenture copies and to

60 STUDENTS IN
JAILS OF SERB
DICTATORSHIP
Czechs Aid Jugo-Slav
Government Terror

VIENNA, Austria, April 12.-
Officers Of the secret police today
raided the Technical College at
Zagreb, Croatia, and arrested sixty
students, according to reports from
Belgrade. The students are being
held charged with possessing litera-
ture attacking King Alexander and
Premier Zivkovich, the virtual pow
er behind the dictatorship.
The students are accused of being
members of the Croat National
Youth Movement, a separatist or
ganization and it is the intention of
the government to incriminate them
in the recent assassination of Toni
Schlegel, former nationalist editor
of Croatian paper who came over
to the dictatorship.
At the same time it is reported
from Prague that the university
authorities there are cooperating
with the Yugo-Slav government in
coercing Jugo-Slav students in the
university.
The university director yesterday
searched the rooms of Jugo-Slav
student and confiscated alleged
Communist literature which was
found there. These books he handed
over to the Jugo-Slav minister at
Prague.
1t is expected that the students
will be expelled from the university
at the request of the Jugo-Slav gov
eminent.

BIG BRITISH Loss
IN SOVIET TRADE
Heavy Drop as Result
of Anti-USSR Policy

MOSCOW, April I'm connec-
ton with the investigation Of the
possibilities of Soviet trade by the
commission of British industrialistA
now in the Soviet Union, the Soviet
press is publishing data showing the
progressive loss to the British by
the anti-Soviet attitude of the tory
British, government.
In 1925-26, the year preceding the
rupture of Anglo-Soviet relations,
the total trade turnover between
Soviet Russia and Great Britain
amounted to 1928 million roubles,
of which 1877 million ruobles were
exports to England and 1858 mil
lion roubles imports from that coun-
try. In 1885 Britain's share of
the Soviet foreign trade amounted
to 246 per cent.
In 1926-27, the year of the break
between the two countries, the trade
with England was reduced to 294
million roubles, exports amounting
to 1877 million roubles, while imports
declined to only 81 million roubles.
Great Britain's share of Soviet Rus
sia's foreign trade during that year
went down to 22.6 per cent.
In 1929 the trade with England
further declined to 1928 million
roubles, of which lat million roubles
represented exports and 45.3 million
roubles imports. During that year
England's share of the USSR for
eign trade fell to 1873 per cent. The
reduction of the Soviet exports to
England in 1929 was due partly
to the sharp decline Of grain exports.

Up RISING LIKELY
AT VENEZUELAN
ELECTION APR. 10
News of Unrest Leaks
Thru Censorship

CURACAO, Dutch West Indies,
April 12.-An instruction sche-
Guled for the time of the Venezuelan
general elections, which occur in
seven days, is forecast today in
Venezuelan revolutionary circles
here. American intervention and
possible difficulties between the
United States and British govern
ment, involving the oil holdings of
both powers in the country, are
also seen in the situation.
News of unrest has been leaking
thru the stringent censorship, by
which the regime of the tottering
dictator, Juan Vicente Gomez, at
tempts to conceal its weakness. To-
gether with rumors, more substan-
tial reports have reached the
Venezuelan revolutionaries here of
outbreaks in the interior under the
leadership of elements quite as re-
dictionary as Gomez, but attracting
to themselves much of the ill-organ-
lied discomfort among the wretched
peasantry and workers.
Outbreaks among the students
and certain sections of the troops
have also been reported, and tales
of the most savage brutality
wreaked on the participants in these
outbreaks by the dictatorship have
reached here.
More than 5000 men and women,
many of them workers and peasants,
are reported to be in Venezuelan
jails. Of this number 400 are stu
dents who took part in recent out
break in Caracas and were sentenced
to hard labor on roads in the tropic
interior. Later this group of revo-
lutionaries was transferred to a
penitentiary.
Should the elections prove a
signal for a general uprising in the
country, it is believed that the
United States, which has supported
the Gomez dictatorship on account
of its oil concessions to U. S. in
terests, will interfere on the old pre-
text of safeguarding American
property and lives.
In this event, it is not at all I'M
likely that the British, whose in
vestments in Venezuela, now the
second largest oil producing land in
the world, are large, will also seek
to take action to safeguard their
lives and property, i. e., their
petroleum. Unquestionably he
United States will appeal to the
Monroe Doctrine and this will mean
complications.

low Tremendous Gain
in Exports

MOSCOW, U. S. S. R., (By Mail)
Addressing the All-Union Export
inference, Peoples Commissary of
reign Trade, Mikoyan gave the
lowing data about the foreign
ode situation of the U. S. S. r.
In 1929 the exports of the U.
S. r. amounted to 60 per cent
the pre-war level. In the course
the first five months of the cur
mt economic year the foreign trade
the Soviet Union shows an active
lance Of 81 million roubles as
linst passive balance of 81 mil
rouble5 during the same period
year. The Five Years Plan an
ipates increases in exports up to
billion roubles and in imports up
IL billion roubles; at the same
ne decisive steps are being taken
the Soviet Government for the
ncwal of grain exports which were
lpped during the current year ow-
$ to difficulties experienced in the
me grain market. Il is contem-
atsd to bring up the export of
Gin during the coming years to 7
illion tons annually, i. e. to 70 per
mt of the pre-war level.
Mikoyan pointed out that thanks
the regulating system of the for
yn trade monopoly The absence of
ain exports was not reflected in
e general turnover of the coun-
VS. foreign trade, because instead
grain there was an increase in
her exports which enabled to sat
