The administration, Mellon
said, Is not responsible for the
depression, which is worldwide
and due to economic rather than
political causes. The chief cause,
he asserted, was lack Of balance
between production and consump'

Just beyond the rim Of light
and within the bankers home
the so officers and ex-Service men
patroiled with guns ready In
the event that part of the kidnap
ring had eluded capture and were
proceeding to carry out the bomb
ing threat.
Yocum, his wife and two cnil-
dren did not retire during the
night for fear the kidnapers
might return.
Mrs. Yocum. who personally
arranged the cash ransom which
brought the release of her hus-
bnad,, was reported to be near
collapse this morning. She was
under the care of a physician.
Yocurn, IN appealing to authori-
ties for aid after the telephone
threat, admitted that he had not
paid the entire ransom sum OF
$4,000. Ten thousand dollars was
due at noon yesterday, Yocum ad.
mitted, and 1t was this sum which
the kldnaperS were demanding.
Further cash installmentS were
to be paid at intervals, the banker
is said to have admitted on ques.
tionir1g. He did not state how
much was originally paid over to
guarantee his release.
Discussing his refusal to aid the
police, Yocum said:
There Is q band of armed
men, desperate and unscrupu.
lOuS, on one side, and myself and
my family on the other. why
should I place my family and
myself In danger? My captors
did not harm me, but they rave
me to understand what would
happen IL any Of them were mr.
rested"
Yocum, after driving here from
Atkinson yesterday where he was
released by the kidnapping gang,
would only admit that he was
forced into an automobile at the
gateway Of his home by two men
and kept under an armed guard.
At the dictation of the kidnapers
he had written two letters to his
wife. The terms of his release
had been met, he said.

Mr.. Campbell replied that he

the revolver from the drawer on

it anywhere but around his own

to show that Mr.. Campbell had

More than four months have

AS soon as it it done, such
equipment necessary in making
the tests, win be set up before
the jury so demonstrations may
be carried out to clarity their
technical nature.
Goddard Is Supported
Colonel Goddard contends that
all guns have individuality and
that ballistics is an exact science.
On the other hand DR.. Ha1nil-
ton claims it is exact only where
a gun has individuality.
His method is by measuring
widths of scratches on bullet
and comparing them with those
on another bullet.
DR.. Goddard's method is sup.
ported by experts throughout the
country, and contends that the
best method Is by means of q
comparative microscope.

ARMS PARITY

BERLIN, Oct. 80 GN.SJ.-
With one week remaining before
the scheduled meeting Of the
League Of Nations preparatory
disarmament comm mission at
Geneva, the foreign relations com
mittee Of the Reichstag Is on
record as demanding immediate
disarmament by European powers,
as provided In the Treaty Of
Versailles.
At the end of q secret eight
hour meeting which spelled a
signal victory for Chancellor
Heinrich Bfuening, the committee
took two steps regarded as Of
prime importance in Germany's
foreign relations.
The first was adoption OF a
resolution calling for parity Of
Germany's military forces with
those Of other European Nations
or disarmament Of the latter
down to Gerrnany's present level
The second was rejection Of
five motions, introduced by
various political factions, aimed
at immediate action to relieve
Germany of her reparations
burdens.
On the reparations question,
DR.. Bruening scored to an unex'
pected degree, and the committee
decided to pursue a moderate
course for a period Of six months,
at the end Of which time it is

tions payments will be requested

Fifty percent of the local grower

made by Il. b. Gregory, assistant
secretary of the California Fruit

VALENCIA ORANGE
ACREAGE HERE IS
SHOWING INCREASE

Information has been received at
the FL Centre Chamber of Commerce
that there is to be Il greatly increas-
cd acreage of Valencia oranges in
Imperial Valley this year. About
400 acres of grapefruit and Nalcn.
cias were planted this spring near
inland, ii is reported, by extensive
growers and shippers of citrus fruits
in Orange county. Recent reports
ut the local chamber are to the eff
feet that the Cudahy Farms Com
pany is planning to plant l60 acres
of Valencia oranges near Calexico
and that about six times that many
Nalencias are to be planted IN tho
valley during the coming season.
These fruits, which are extra
sweet and ripcn ahead of other
Southern California Nalcncias, al
ways find a good market and the
chamber Of commerce has for some
time been interested in increasing
the Valencia acreage. At a lunch
con meeting Of the chamber several
months ago Norman Lombard, man.
aecr Of the Desert Citrus Exchange,
spoke en- the adaptability of this
climate and soil to Valencia grow
ing and urged more paintings of this
fruit. II is believed that the activ-
tiles of the Citrus Exchange and
the FL Centre Chamber of Commerce
have had some part in the notice
able increase Of Valencia acreage i'll
the past few weeks and in the plans
for additional paintings throughout
the fill
