COMMlTTE TO
VOTE ON NAVAL
TREATY MONDAY
By LYLE C. WILSON
United Press Staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON, June II. U.H-
The senate foreign relations com
mittee today agreed to vote next
Monday on its report to the senate
regarding the London naval treaty.
The agreement was reached after
the committee had voted down, l3
to 4, motion presented by treaty
opponents to postpone further con-
sideration until President Hoover
permits Secretary of State Stimson
to deliver to the committee secret
papers dealing with negotiations.
The motion to postpone consider
alton was offered by Senator John
son, Republican, California, leading
opponent of the treaty. Two other
Republicans, Moses, New Hampshire,
and Robinson, Indiana, and Ship
stead, FarmerL Labor, Minnesota,
voted with him.. The vote was a
test of the treaty's strength in the
committee.
Defeat of this motion compels the
committee minority opposing the
treaty to carry their objections to
Mr.. Hoover's policy to the senate
floor unless they are willing to ad-
NIT defeat.
7 he committee discussed Ii c
treaty for an hour and - minutes.
Chairman Borah, and others who
favor the treaty first predicted a
report last week and then said the
treaty would go before the senate
this week. Delay until Monday,
however, will not prevent the treaty
reaching the senate on the first day
of the special session which prob
ably will begin next week.
Borah's intention is merely to
present the treaty with a report of
IA single sentence stating the com
mittee's favorable attitude. Sena-
tor Johnson, and his fellow oppon-
ents of the treaty are planning Il
more comprehensive minority report
in opposition.

'SOUATTERS' TO
CONTINUE FIGHT
FOR BEACH LAND

LOS ANGELES, June II. W.P
-Undaunted by a U. S. land office
statement that their claim stalking
is invalid, seven of the 1876 wa
veterans who spent the wee; end
homesteading the valuable Malibu
estate today had their land filings
recorded and were ready to take
the issue to the civil courts.
According to Attorney James
Westervelt, counsel for the so-oalled
claim jumpers, his clients are sup
piled with funds to carry the land
fight to the highest courts of the
country.
The "squattels" filed their claims
on beach lands of the Ma,ibu Ran
cho owned by Mrs. May X. Rlndge,
on the contention that the strip of
land along the ocean was not in
cluded in the original Spanish lana
grant under which the owner holds
the huge Malibu Rancho.
The claims however, were record
ed in county offices, which accord
ing to County Recordee Charles l..
Logan, have no jurisdiction over
lands governed by the homestead
act. The United States land office
which has such jurisdiction, has re-
fused to accept the filings.
The Marblehead Land company
which controls the huge estate of
Mrs. Rindge, issued statement late
yesterday charging that the claim
jumpers were dupes of sharpers who
knew the title to be unassailable.

The wet and dry issue within the
Republican party of New Jersey

day at the statewide senatorial prl-
mary.
Vets and large section of those
whose views are not sufficiently
strong one way or another on pro-
hibition, are supporting Dwight w.
Morrow, ambassador to Mexico. OPP
posing him as bone dry IS Frank
lin w. Fort, of Camden, now a mem
Der of congress. Between the two,
depending largely upon his admitted
personal strength, is former Sena-

New Jersey is generally consid-
cred wet state.
Morrow forces claim the victory
today by more than 100000.
Forts friends predict their can
didate will win by almost as much.
FreIinghuysen and his followers
refuse to concede anything.
On the Democratic ticket there

Attempt to Filibuster In
Upper House Will Be
Met BY ClOture Rule.

WASHINGTON, June II. up
Opposition to the appropriation of
$l0.660.000 for beginning work on
Boulder Dam as provided in tie sec
ond deficiency bill was expressed in
a House speech today by Represcn.
tative Ayres, Democrat, Kansas.
Avres said he was convinced con
tracts which made the appropria'
tion possible under the authorization
act of 1928 were not binding upon
the city Of Los Angeles because the
taxpayers in that city had not voted
to support them.
at seems to me-" Ayres said,
"that under existing conditions it
is immaterial so far as the govern.
ment is concerned that Los Angeles
may be a city of 100000 popula
tion and have taxable property
amounting to 100000, if none
of the 100000 people can be taxed
and none of the $500, 100000 can
be subjected to the payment of a
judgment against the city's water
and power commission for breach OF
contract"
Admitting, for the sake of ar
gument, that at this time it ap
pears the water and power corpora
ton Of the city of Los Angeles have
potential resources sufficient to en-
able them to meet obligations i'm
posed under this contract, we must
consider that this contract runs 70:
period of so years.
"There is no assurance that the
water and power corporation viii
survive corresponding period OF
time. On the other hand, we hav,
every right to assume the city OF
Los Angeles expanded both in popu
lation and health. viii outiive tn,

well for those of us acting for an,
on behalf of the government to in

being made responsible under thi.
contract before the government shal

the Boulder Dam projects'
The following telegram received
at the Imperial Irrigation Distric
this morning from +. ". Greer, in
dicates that friends of the bill are
not worried by the opposition de
veloped thus far:
"Bill comes up today for genera
