LEAGUE ADOPTS
RESOLUTION ON
MANCHURIA ROW
Japan Rejects Program
Outlined For Evacua-
ton OF Troops.

GENEVA, Oct. "a. U.P) = The

the objections of Japan, today

China ana Japan appoint repre-
sentatives to arrange details Of

ate but said he could not act with
out further instructions from Toxic.
Thereafter the council proceeded

CHAMBERS HEAR
SWINGS TALK
ON DEPRESSION

Congressman Phil Swing dis
cussed the subject OF causes and
remedies of the depression at the
Associated Chambers of Commerce
banquet at the Dunlack hotel in
Brawley last night.
It is the duty of the government
to do something to remedy the Sit
uation, in the opinion of the speak
er. and a fund should be laid aside
during good times to be used for
construction purposes in time of de-
preston.
The depression is here and I fail
to see that 1t makes matters worse
to discuss it. Just not talking about
it will not change the state OF az
fairs. Something must be done to
set money in circulation and TO re-
store confidence" said Swing.
In speaking of the plea for light
wines and beer as a means of solv-
ing the unemployment problem,
Swing said: whisky drinking Eng
land, wine drinking France and beer
drinking Germany all are in worse
shape than the United States. If
drink were the cure for our unem-
ployment there would be no trou-
BILE In those countries where there
is no prohibition law
Swing expressed himself as being
delighted to meet representatives
from all sections of the valley and
said he was sorry he could not re-
main longer in the valley. He was
introduced by Ross T. Hickcox.
A resolution recommending con-
struction Of the North Shore road
was passed by both the executive
board and the members of the as
sociated chambers.
Attendance at the dinner was not
as large as anticipated on account
of other events scheduled for last
night.

MRS. JUDD REMAINS DEFIANT
AFTER ADMITTING HER CRIME

LOS ANGELES, Oct. "a. UP
The prosecution claimed late today
to have shaken the story of Mrs.
Winnie Ruth Judd confessed slayer
of two young women.
A cleaners mark found in the
dress worn by Mrs. Judd last night
when she surrendered to police at
a downtown undertaking establish
ment, was declared by police to be
the key.
Mrs. Judd .asseI tedly told police
she dyed her dress in a public rest
room during the 100 hour period
while she evaded capture.
After an examination of the dress,
County Chemist Rex WEIGH de-
clared the garment had not been
dyed except by cloth makers. He
added that 1t was not new and an
nounced the discovery of the ciean-
er's tag.
Almost at the same time anothe,
incident which police believed sig-
nificant. occurred while reporters
were interviewing Miss Caroline
Lucy Judd, the prisoners sister-in
law
1T must have been terrible for
Mrs. Judd during all the hours OF

turn to Mrs. Lindbergh's home here

men: Il beg to be excused from say
ing anything at this time"

across the country was very pleas
ant.
Only about $50 persons, including

Grandi EnrOute
To Visit Berlin

ROME, Oct. "a. U.P)-Dino Gran
di, Italy's youthful foreign minister.
was enroute to Berlin today for the
last of a series Of European diplo-
matte conferences to be continued
with President Hoover in Washing
ton.
Grandi goes to the United States
in November.
The series of conferences began
when Secretary of State Stimson
and Secretary of Treasury Mellon
visited Europe this summer. They
were carried on with Premier Pierre
Laval'S present visit to Washington.
Definite results were expected after
President Hoover had conferred
with Grandi, Laval, and other
European statemen, possibly Chan
cellor Heinrich Bruening of Ger
many.
Reports that Grandi would carry
concrete Italo German disarma-
ment scheme to Washington ap-
peared improbable. as it was not
likely that any definite plan would
be formulated pending the results
of Laval'S visit to Washington.

On1tcu fTeSS StdlI Correspondent
GENEVA, Oct "a. U.P)-Japan
rejected the League of Nations for
mula for settlement of the Manchu-
rian. dispute with China today.
Kenkichi Yoshizawa, Japanese
delegate, told the league council
that his government was unable to
accept the councils draft resolu-
ton.
The league council adjourned un-
til p. m. without voting on either
the councils resolutions or the jap
anese counter proposals.
The resolution was made public
yesterday. 1t recommended that
China and Japan appoint repre-
sentatives to arrange details OF eva
cuation of Japanese troops to with
in the treaty zone in Manchuria
and that they begin direct negotia-
tions as soon as evacuation was
completed. 1t also suggested the
creation of permanent Sino-Jap-
anese conciliatory committee.
China and Japan agreed, after
arduous negotiations, that Man
churia must be evacuated. Both
sides made concessions in agreeing
that observers of third party
might might be present during and
after evacuation, and that direct
Sino-Japanese negotiations might
be conducted after the councils jur-
isdiction.
I'VE have demonstrated how diff
ficult it will be for any nation in
the future to make war; BRAND
said. when the world understands
that the settlement of such con-
flict requires unanimity it will un-
derstand the fragility of the league
machinery and the necessity for pa
tience."
Lord Robert Cecil of Britain de-
manded that Yoshizawa explain the
fundamental principles upon which
Japan demanded direct negotiations
with China before evacuation, and
whether japanese counter proposals
could be interpreted as sanctioning
committee of inquiry.
Yoshizawa explained that the
fundamental principles demanded
establishment of measures for the
protection of japanese nationals
while troops were being retired into
the treaty zone. He said bombing
of Chinese troops by japanese air
planes was not the desire of the
Japanese government but was made
necessary by military circumstances.

BY GEORGE II. BEALE
United Press Staff Correspondent

LOS ANGELES, Oct. "a. U.P)-
Composed and defiant, Winnie Ruth
Judd, comely blonde, was held to-
day on a charge that she murdered
two former roommates in Phoenix
Ariz.
Selecting q funeral parlor as the
scene, she voluntarily surrendered
last night to peace officers who had
sought her for almost 100 hours.
She told them that she shot Miss
Hedvig Samuelson, 81, and Mrs
Agnes LIE Roi, 25, in self defense.
Chief of Detectives Joe Taylor
said she admitted dissecting the
body of Mis- Samuelson and then
packing and shipping both bodies
from Phoenix to Los Angeles as lug
gage.
Since the discovery of the bodies
in two trunks and a suitcase here
Monday, and while thousands of
police hunted for her from Mexico
to Canada, she stayed "here and
there in downtown Los Angeles"
She exhibited a bullet in her left
hand to support her contention that
the killings were acts of self de-
fenSe.
Taylor said she claimed she had
no accomplice.
The comely, 27-year-old woman
was questioned at great length by
Arizona and California officials
but she composedly stuck by the
story she told.
She refused to answer many ques-
tons and declined to elaborate
much on any point, including the
motive. When asked why she
shipped the bodies to Los Angeles
she merely shook her head.
Relates Shooting
Her story, as repeated by Taylor
was that she herself started the
fatal argument when she made ar
ncomplimentary remark about
Mrs. LIE Roi while visiting the two
girls Friday night.
Il killed them after Miss Samuel
son shot me in the hand during

PETITION FILED
FOR RECALL OF
DIRECTOR BLAIR
District Leader Again
Target OF Attack From
North End OF Valley.

Petitions demanding the recall Of
w. o. Blair as director of the I'm
perial Irrigation district from the
Calipatria division were filed at
district headquarters shortly before
noon today. The petition bears the
signatures of 267 persons.
A large delegation of residents OF
the Calipatria division appeared at
headquarters with the petitions.
They were filed with Jerry Der
mody, assistant secretary, in the alb
sence of Secretary Frank H. Nc
Iyer.
None of the petitions circulated
last summer against Blair was
filed, it is said, although several
who signed last summer signed the
new ones.
Wednesday night at meeting In
Calipatria the division was divided
into 10 sections with team for
each section. Work was said to
have started Thursday night and
completed by Friday night.
McIver now has 10 days in which
to check the names on the petit
tions. If declared insufficient
Blair's opponents have 10 days in
which to procure additional names
Petitions already are in circulation
1t is said, to provide the names
should it be declared necessary.
Should the petition be found suf-
ficient, an election must be called
within not less than 35 days and
not more than 40 days"
Two questions would be voted
upon. Whether or not Blair should
be recalled and If SO a successor
should be named.
Hoober Candidate
So far as is known but one candi-
date is in the field against Blair
c. 0. Hoober, who Is said to have
100 names on his nomination pa
pers.
Grounds upon which recall is
sought are: that Blair is inefficient
in dealing with the finances of the
district to the impairment of dis
trict credit and increase of out
standing unsecured indebtedness;
failure to follow recommendations
of the tax advisory committee tend
ing to provide an equitable assess
ment of lands; approval of excessive
wasting of water into Salton ses
resulting in inundation of tillablt
land and legal actions for damages
opposition to proposals to curtail.
ment of unnecessary district ex-
penses: that Blair is not in har-
mony with views, purposes anc
policies of registered and qualified
electors and voters in division
three in the maintenance, opera
ton and conservation of properties
and assets of the district.

in cooperation with the U. S. En-
ployment Service, will be set up to
form the point of contact between
job and worker.
5. Clothing will be collected by
the women's organizations and
turned over to the committee rep
resentative for distribution through
the cooperating agencies.
6. The church groups will con-
tinue their cooperation through the
Red Cross and Salvation Army.
7. The Legion, v. of F. w. and
other veterans organizations will, of
course, particularly provide for their
own members, but usually through
the Salvation Army or Red Cross.
For the present the committee
will raise no funds in its own name
but will ask the community to make
its donations through the channels
of existing organizations.
If the Salvation Army and Red
Cross in addition to their own work
are to do the special work set out
above for the community, they must
have additional assistance. Right
now the committee requests that
donations of food-beanS and bread
especially-be made to the Saliva
ton Army.
In order that there shall be no
duplication and no failure to care
for those in need it is especially re-
quested that. before any program of
relief is put under way, it be pre-
sented to the committee for ap-
proval and the citizens of the
community are requested not to
contribute to or participate in plans
or program that do not have the
approval of the committee.
