Dowd Hoping To
Avoid PrO-Rating

In the hope that local rains In

may avert the impending shortage,
Chief Engineer NJ. j. Dowd an
nounced today that he will try to
hold off pro-rating of deliveries for
few more days.
Unless, however, additional flow
in the river occurs this week, it will
be necessary to return to the pro-
rating measure invoked few weeks
ago, DoWd said.
Volume of flow in the river has
been steadily decreasing for several
days. Diversions at Andrade to-
day are reported at 2300 second
feet. Discharge reports from
Grand Canyon today show a total
of $500 feet passing the government
station. At Topoc the discharge is
$500 second feet. At Yuma, above
the Yuma spillway, the discharge
is 1880 second feet. The spill is re-
turning 533 sacond feet into the
river above the Andrade diversion
point.

SAN DIEGO, Cal, Aug. 25. ((U.P))
Discovery of the body of George
M. Aanoson, IS, at the bottom of
San Diego bay, has presented police
and the coroner's office today with

ther he met his death through sui

Mike Gabo, seining the bay,
brought Aanoson's body up in his
1t back into the water and hurried
ashore.
Police under detective Lieutenant
Harry j. Kelly ressurected the body,

expressed the possible murder"
theory when he found the mans
head and abdomen had been badly
bruised.
Coroner Chester Gum, in an
nouncing an inquest would be held
shortly, also held to the murder
theory.
Aanoson had lived on his boat, the
Solano, along the waterfront for
many years He made a living by
SEEMING for shells, which he polish
ed and sold.

WOMEN BANNED
FOR DECOY Use
IN ENFORCEMENT

WASHINGTON, Aug. 25. (U.P)-
Prohibition Director Woodcock an
nounced today that orders soon
will be issued to all prohibition adj
ministrators forbidding the use OF
women as aides in the enforcement
OF prohibition.
Woodcock banned the use OF
women as decoys some time ago,
but instances in which women were
reported to have purchased liquor
to aid agents in making cases con-
tinued. The new order, Woodcock
said, will go further than his anti
decoy rule.
Under the contemplated regula-
tons, prohibition agents would be
forbidden the company of women
in gathering evidence against night
clubs or in any other enforcement
activity.
Il have decided Woodcock said,
that women should have no place
at all in enforcing prohibition. l
think we can enforce prohibition
without the use of women in any
way"
He said he is now drafting his
orders and they will go forward in
a few days.
He said he had ordered thor
ugh investigation into charges made
by Representative karch. Democrat,
Illinois, that agents in East St.
Louis were using "lewd women" in
enforcement and associating with
them.

FATHER STAGES
WILD STUNT TO
GET YOUNGSTERS

INDEPENDENCE. Cal, Aug. 25.
((U.PO-A father who was accused
of kidnapping his two children and
flying away with them in a stolen
airplane was believed hiding today
in a cabin high in the Sierra New
ada mountains.
Henry Billingsley, 40, of Long
Pine. took the children from their
mothers home in Bishop, escaped
in an airplane in which he had been
taking flying lessons. and landed
shadow of Mount Whitney, officers
said.
There pursuing deputy sheriffs
lost trace OF the three. Posses were
organized to search the mountain
trails leading away from the lake
bed.
Officers maiyelled that Billingsley
and the children, Jean, 8, and Har-
ry, 5. escaped injury for he had had
only nine hours OF instruction in an
airplane.
Billingsley approached Stanley
Shoemaker, from whom he had been
taking flying lessons, and asked him
to take the children for a flight.
Shoemaker spun the propeller.
and before he could enter the ship,
he said. Billingsley seized the con-
trolls and raced the plane down the
field. The ship wobbled dangerous
ly ard Billingsley narrowly avoided
crashing.
Airports throughout the state
were notified to be on the lookout
for the man. They were told Bill
Kingsley had threatened to kill the
children and himself because of
marital troubles.
Officers expected reports that Bill
Kingsley had crashed in the noun
tain peaks, lining Owens Valley, but
when word came 1t was that the
stolen ship had been found on the
bed of the dry lake two miles south
OF Lone Pine and IL miles south OF
here. The undercarriage had been
smashed i'll landing, but there was
no evidence that any of the three
had been injured.
Mrs. Rachel Billingsley, estranged
wife of the man, wept bitterly as
she told OF threats he had made to
Kill her if she would not give him
the children, awarded to her by a
court order when she sued for
divorce.
