PLEA FOR WORLD
COURT MADE IN
HOOVER ADDRESS
Talk Expected To Stir Up
Strong Opposition In
u. S. Senate
By LYLE G. WILSON
United Press Staff CorresponGler

WASHINGTON, April 15.-U.H
President Hoover's plea for the
world court. contained in an address
before the Daughters of the Ameri-
can Revolution, was expected today
to invigorate senate opposition to
American adherence.
Mr.. Hoover spoke to the d. A. r.
congress last night in Constitutional
hall. He suffered from a cold and
Mrs. Hoover was SO i'll with the
same malady she was unable to ac-
company him.
The address gave panoramic
view of efforts to prevent war, of
which the President said naval or
arms treaties, arbitration treaties
the world court, the Kellogg pact
and other methods Of International
action were parts.
He predicted without qualifica-
ton the United States would Join
the court, but recognized disagree
ment regarding terms of adherence.
Problems arising from that dis
agreement, he believes, will be
solved.
The speech was summons to
membership in the court which,
Mr.. Hoover said, had been accepted
by 80 per cent Of the civilized peo-
Piles of the world. No other court,
he said, is practicable.
His address came within a week
of the Illinois primaries in which
Mrs. Ruth Hanna Mccormick de.
feated Senator Deneen for the Re-
publican nomination for the senate
in campaign in which the only
formal issue appeared to be the
world court. Mrs. Mccormick op-
posed American adherence.
President Gains
The President spoke to 5000
women, most of whom arc influen-
tial in their respective communities
Observers remarked today that the
speech emphasized the world court
issue along with the London naval
treaty and that if last night s audi
ence went home convinced the
President S positions were correct,
he would have gained vastly useful
support of his two major foreign re-
lations problems-senate ratifica-
tion of the London treaty and ap-
proval of world court membership.
Difficulties in applying the Kel-
logg anti-war pact to the Chinese
Russian dispute last year showed
Mr.. Hoover said, "The clear need
for some method of mobilization of
public opinion against violation"
Mr.. Hoover emphasized America 9
duty to take part in securing world
peace, but said this duty could not
be performed without maintaining
the fullest independence.
'The nations of Europe he
said, surrounded as they are by
dangers and problems Of which we
in the western hemisphere have but
little appreciation, and beset by in
herited fears, hold to the view that
aside from the world court the Pa
cific settlement Of controversies
and the maintenance Of peace
should be backed by potential CO.
ercion through the pooling of either
or economic strength.

And Paraphernalia

Rumblings of an approaching up
heaval in Imperial Valley just fol-
lowing the abortive strike among
the lettuce workers in February,
led the district attorneys office to
secure the assistance of secret serv-
ice investigators through the J. H.
Boiling Detective Agency, and these
men were placed in the field to
gather evidence concerning the op-
erations of the communist party and
affiliated organizations in Imperial
county. For approximately two
months these undercover men have
been gathering much valuable in
formation relative to the intentions
of the radical originations which in
tended to put into operation a mill
tant strike in Imperial county dur
ing the peak Of the approaching can.
taloupe season.
Armed with this information,
county officials, aided by special
deputies from the district attorneys
office, the sheriff's office and the
police department of Ell Centre,
Brawley and Calexico, staged a sys-
tematic raid last night on the COM
munistic headquarters in these cit
les with the result that conditions
were brought to light which beggar
description and are of a character
far more dangerous to the peace and
prosperity Of the valley than any
! catastrophe of nature.
Press dispatches have carried for
some time past the news Of commun-
ist activities in other sections of
the nation but it Was never thought
possible that such conditions could
be found to exist right in the heart
of Imperial county, conditions that
merely awaited the hand of some
one person more fanatic than his
brothers to touch off the conflagra-
tion which would sweep all before
it in one devastating holocaust.
The raids last night netted a
huge amount of red literature, most
of which was found in a shack in
Brawley. located two blocks south
of Third and J streets, just a half
block from the select residential
section of that city. In this shack,
owned by F. Harruchi, suspected
of being one of the principal lead.
ers of the cOmmunistic party in the
valley, were found a mimeograph,
two typewriters, quantities of pap
er, stencils and everything needed
to run off circulars for the propo-
cation of the communistic ideas.
Books advocating the establishment
of the Soviet form of government in
the valley were also found and all
were bundled into boxes and
brought to the county Jail. Other
places in Brawley were raided and
more typewriters, three revolvers
and another large quantity of liter
ature were confiscated. A quantity

The voting started as soon as the
polls opened at o'clock yesterday
morning and continued on through
out the day, bringing out the larg'
est number ever to have voted at
n municipal election in this city. Ac-
cording to figures compiled at the
county clerks office, the total reg
istraiton for the city was 2796 and
over IS per cent of this number
came to the voting places yesterday
to east their votes.
OF much interest is the fact that
many voters decided to split their
votes, others would vote for just
one of the four candidates without
considering his running mate. An
other feature in the election was
that many voted for the candidates
for city council but declined to ex-
press their opinion regarding the
proposed bond issue for the auditor
ium. A large and interested group
of persons witnessed the counting
of the votes at the city hall and
several private counts were kept
with much speculation as to the
final outcome until that was set
tied beyond doubt.
The newly elected councilmen
will be inducted into office at a
special meeting of the council to be
held next Monday night at which
time they will be sworn in by City
Clerk j. c. Neale.
The campaign throughout was
strongly waged but peace reigned at
the polls during the entire day,
there being no disturbances of any
kind recorded. Victory was not
conceded to either side until the
city hall votes were counted.
Mercier Defeated
At Calcxico, A. j. Mercicr, who
has been mayor of the city for sew
eral years past, and an untiring
worker for civic advancement, was
defeated for reelection to the city
council by Isaac Schlatter. Paul An

Tie vote was, Anderson, 463; Schlat-
ter, 459; Mcrcicr, 1872.
Brawlcy elected II. l.. Baker and
II. T.. Hubbard to the city council,
and voted 243 to 200 for support of
the Chamber of Commerce by a

bcrs was Baker, 402; Hubbard, 22S; ;
