EXPANSION IS
ANNOUNCED BY
R. P. SCRIPTS
Plant Extension Arranged
by ScrippS- Howard
Group for 1880.

By United Press
WASHINGTON, Nov. 25.-Build-
ing and plant extension plans for
1880 for the Scripps-Howard news
papers, involving several million
dollars, were announced today by
Robert P. Scripps, controlling own
er of the papers.
In line with the business advance
ment statement, incident to Presi-
dent Hoovers last weeks White
House conferences, the announce
ment said these newspapers share
the belief of the President and his
advisors that the country's economic
conditions are fundamentally sound
and that next year should be one
for growth and expension of con-
structive enterprises.
The statement said the expansions
are made necessary by present and
immediate prospective business con-
ditions, with the further prospect
that before the end Of 1880, consid-
Grafton must be given to other plant
and building enlargement problems.
The program included the fol-
lowing:
New York-New plant for the
New York Telegram in new down
town building in addition to compile
ton and occupation of a second up
town plant.
San Francisco-Erection Of a
new building by the San Francisco
News and installation of complete
new mechanic equipment.
El Pasco-Completion and occu-
patton of a new building with new
and enlarged mechanical facilities
by the Ell Paso Post.
AKRON, O-Construction OF a
building with new mechanical
equipment by the Akron Times
Press.
Enlargement, by about
one-third, of the Cleveland Press
building and installation of addi-
tional presses and typesetting ma
chinery.
indianapolis -Remodeling of the
installation of new presses and
stereotyping equipment.
Youngstown-Com Completion of plans
for erection of new building and
plant by the youngstown Telegram.
"It is the policy Of these newspa-
pers to invest primarily in men and
ideas rather than in bricks, mortar
and real estate" said Mr.. ScrippS'
statement, land to move only as fast
in the matter of building and plant
investment as the needs of our bust
ness demand and general conditions
warrant.
Most Of our plants and buildings
are new and commodious. Yet the
above detailed expansions are made
necessary by present and Immediate
ly prospective business conditions.
Furthermore, it appears likely that,
before the end of next year, we will
have to consider other plant and
building enlargement problems"

FRANCE INSISTS
ON naval EDGE
over ITALIANS
Farley Trouble Seen in
Offing as Rival European
Nations HaggIe.
BY STEWART BROWN
United Press staff Correspondent

PARIS, Nov. 25.-Conversations
between Italy and France looking
forward to an agreement, especially
on retention of submarines, prepar-
atory to the five-power naval con-
ference in January, faced serious
breach today over the declaration
of Frances minister of marine,
Georges Leagues, that his govern
ment never would accept naval
parity with Italy.
Minister Leagues told the United
Press that France would refuse to
agree with the Italian demands for
parity, as set worth in the note sub
rnitted by Count Manzoni, ambas-
sador from Rome, when the con-
versations between the two nations
were reopened last week.
To Insist on Parity
The italian note left little doubt
that italy would insist upon a par
ity agreement before considering
reductions of submarines and cruiS-
ers. Leagues declared that France
hoped to continue conversations, buS
would insist upon two points-first,
she will not accept parity with Italy
and, second, she will not change her
attitude toward submarines.
The Italian note now is being
studied, and as soon as experts con-
clude their work Premier Andre
Tardieu, Foreign Minister Aristide
BRAND and Minister of War Andre
Maginot will confer to frame the
French reply.
Not to Be Exceeded
Premier Mussolini's note, as trans
mitted by Count Manzoni, states
emphatically that Italy has decided
that "in matters Of military, naval
and air disarmament, Italy is pre-
pared to accept any basis, even the
lowest, provided it will not be ex-
ceeded by that of any other power
in continental Europe"
France will reply quoting the
League of Nations covenant to the
effect that sin reduction of arna-
ment, the geographical situation and
special conditions of each country
must be considered" and insist that
she needs a larger navy than Italy
to protect her colonies.

PYLE RUNNERS
STILL WITHOUT
PRIZE MONEY

Les ANGELES, July 81. W.H -
The difficulties of c. G. Pyle as a
result of his recent "Bunion Der
by from New York to Los Angeles
probably will reach a climax next
Saturday.
Under a ruling by Deputy Labor
Commissioner f. NJ. Richardson,
Pyle must pay labor claims against
him by that date or a complaint
charging theft of labor will be fill
ed.
Numerous claims, including one by
Jim Thorpe, former all-American
football player, for s259.S2, are
pending against the promoter. Pyle
sent $500 from Santa Rosa to pay
some of the debts but is still about
$1,000 to the bad, it was said.
The labor commission is concern
ed only. with claims for actual labor
performed in California and the race
prizes, ranging from $4,000 to
800, are not involved. A number
of the prize winners have retained
attorneys to represent them.

Offers Help In
Removing Curve

Walter Simons, former valley res.
ident, now living in Los Angeles,
who owns the land on the south side
of the highway at the second turn
between FL Centre and Calexico, has
advised the Calexico Chamber of
Commerce that he is willing to co
operate in widening and lengthen-
ing the curve to do away with the
present dangerous condition existing
there.
Simons has asked for blueprints
showing the plans for improving the
curve and these will be forwarded
to him. Several bad accidents, at
least two Of which have resulted
fatally, have occurred at the turn
and narrow escapes are reported
every so often.
The FL Centric Chamber of Com
merce is working on plans to inn
prove the first curve south Of FL
Centre, which is practically as dan
gerous as the second curve, though
no fatal accidents have occurred
there.

several minutes.

Law Explains Law
To Lions Club

Law and its origination, dating
back to the old Roman civil law
and explaining the details up to the
English common laws, featured the
Lions Club meeting yesterday in
the Barbara Worth hotel. Ed Law,
assistant district attorney, was the
principal speaker and his talk com
manded the attention of his aud
fence.
The speaker stated that criminals
Of today are much farther ahead in
their organization of vice and
crime than America is with her
laws. He pointed out that America
has more criminals than the rest
of the world combined.
England and Mexico are often
said to be too severe with their
punishment for criminals - he said.
But if you get the statistics of
the two countries, you will find
they have far fewer crimes than
countries with loose laws, such as
America. Another reason America
has more criminals is because it is
the richest country in the world,
according to the speaker.
Law took a rap at the American
newspapers. stating that some pub
lications give too much space to
crimes. He pointed out for example
the Hickman case. Most of the
criminals in this country are from
what is commonly termed floating
pOpulace, he said.

AmadOr- Or-ArregOn
Battle Should
Please Fans

Local fans, who like to see the
boxers mix things up and keep NOV
ing while they are battling in the
ring, should have plenty of sasisfac-
tion Friday night when they see
Pedro Amador and frankie Are
gon perform i'll the main event at
the Imperial Valley Athletic club.
Neither of 5hese boys can ever be
accused of being slow. They are
the quick, flashy. type that depends
largely upon speed to bring them
success and both have records which
show they have upset many promis'
ing boys in the course of~their bat
ties.
Amador, little brown negro from
Panama, will have some seven
pounds advantage over Arregon
when they face each other. This
weight advantage is discounted by
Arregon, who figures he can step
fas er than Pedro and who acquires
a world of confidence when fighting
on his home grounds rs he will be
Friday night, Imperial Valley being
home to him.
There should be no kick from the
crowd after this fight is over un-
less a foul should happen to spoil
1t. If it goes the limi, they viii
have seen rattling good fight, and
if one of the boys should happen to
be spilled, the fans viii know that
he Went down fighting.
There is almost as much interest
in the semi-final as in the main
event. Bobby Pacho has made him
self a large following among valley
fans by his clever work in the local
ring, so much so that in the past few
weeks his reputation has spread to
the coast where he has fought and
won four fights.
In addition to being good fight
cr, the Yuma boy has made himself
popular by his clean style and the
evidence tha- he really likes to
fight. He will have to extend him
self Friday night when he meets
Luis Ramos, stablemate of ANA
doris, who Manager Writ Ross
brought them both to this country
from Panama. Ramos has only been
here for few months, in which
time he has followed the same path
previously trodden by Amador, who
has been here several years.
Jimmie Alvarado, the little Holly
wood boy who made a big hit with
the fans on his appearance here
several weeks ago, comes back to
meet Nose Bailey. clever colored
boy from San Diego. These boys
really deserve better spot on the
card, but in view of the class in the
main EVEN; and semi final, this is
impossible.
Hulet Naples and Lorenzo Reyes
open the show. Naples, something
Of plugger, can always be de-
pended upon to show plenty of will

well in several bouts at Calexico and

MANAGER BUSH
HAS HARD LUCK
AT PHTSBURC
Injuries To Stars Gets
Pirates Slumping And
Loses Their Lead.
BY WILLIAM J. DUNN
Omitted Press ScaiI Correspondent


NEW YORK, July 81 U.p)-Ladv
Luck seems to have turned her back
on fiery DOME Bush and his pep
perry Pittsburgh Pirates.
The Pirates are floundering in
deep water these days. striving
vainly to get both feet firmly ON the
bottom again so they may return to
the fight for the National League
leadership.
Much of the fighting spirit that
marked their play during the first
half of the season seems to have eb-
bed as a result of the series of mis-
haps that has robbed the Buccaneers
of some of their most valuable tai
emit.
The first serious quirk of fate
was the injury to Pit Traynor, third
baseman, in the game at Philadel
phia July IL. Traynor, after
clouting home run and double in
that contest, hurt himself and has
been on the sidelines since.
He was replaced by Stewart
Clarke, an adept rookie who has
worked faithfully. The blow was a
severe one, however.
The other major casualty occur
red here in New York on july 20
when Burligh Grimes. leading pitch
eI of the league at the time, iniur
ed his throwing hand while winning
his sixteenth game of the season.
Grimes has been out for nearly two
weeks and is not expected to return
for another 10 days.
Then there have been other in
juries, minor ones for the most part.
but serious enough to mar the
chances of the Pirates for two or
three days. George Grantham re-
ported a short time back with
lame shoulder which Handicapped
him but didn t quite keep him on
the bench.
He appeared to pe well on the
road to recovery when both he and
Paul Waner started after the same
bali and collided, aggravating
Grantham IS injury. He was unable
to play in yesterdays game with
Philadelphia.
Worst of all is the effect this
series of mishaps seems to be hav
ing on the morale of the team. Bush
is faced now with the necessity of
forcing his men TO forget hard luck
and play baseball.
The Pirates faltered during the
latter part of their recent eastern
tour but Bush pulled them together
for brilliant last stand at the
polo grounds here where they re
gained the league leadership from
Chicago.
Returning to Pittsburgh last
week, the Pirates have won only
three out of eight games played
and their opponents have been
Brooklyn, Boston and Philadelphia,
the weak sisters of the circuit.
