OFFICER STATES
PLANES USED In
SMUGGLING PLOT

SAN DIEGO. Cal, Oct. 8. U.R)-
Widespread activities of a group OF
smugglers who use airplanes to
transport alcohol across the inter-
national border from Lower Cali
fornia were being investigated by
federal agents here today.
The authorities learned of the eX-
istence OF the smugglers as a re-
suit of the seizure of alcohol by
customs mounted patrol Saturday
The alcohol is believed to have
been brought across the border by
the group.
Leo Stanley, supervisor of the
customs mounted patrol, said tc-
day he believes the alcohol was
brought to this side of the line
by one of squadron of eight
planes used by the group
Headquarters of the smugglers is
believed by Stanley to be near Los
Angeles.
The federal agents today were at
tempting to find the landing fields
used by the smugglers and the hid
ing places used to keep the planes
under cover.
Mexican officials are assisting the
American authorities in tracing
the flyers.

STATE NARCOTIC
CHIEF ACCUSED
BY SUBORDINATE

SACRAMENTO, Cal, Oct. 8. U.p)
Accusations that Edward A. Pow
ers, chief of the state division of
narcotic enforcement, refused to CO.
operate with inspectors in breaking
up ring planning TO smuggle mar
cotics into Folsom prison, were
being studied today by Daniel j.
OBrien, state director of penology.
The charges were made by Roy D.
Jones, veteran inspector, who was
discharged early this week by Pow
ers, and presented to O'Brien in
support of Jones contention that
Powers lacks ability" as an en-
torcement officer.
The affidavit signed by Jones
cites Powers alleged refusal to do
anything about the Folsom prison
ring as only one of the instances
when he refused to cooperate with
inspectors in cases "he should have
considered of the utmost import
ance."
Information concerning the ring,
with headquarters In Marysville.
which was plotting to smuggle mar
coticS into Folsom, was first brought
to Jones six weeks ago by a former
Stockton boy just paroled from pri-
son, he claims.
The paroled man, Jones claims in
his affidavit, was to go to Marys-
vile, obtain a supply of morphine
from Chinese peddler, take it to
Sacramento and give it to wom-
an who later would pass it on to 4
prison guard.
Refused Information
Jones charges he attempted, with
the aid of Inspector Lee Rice. to
present this information to Powers
after the eX-convict had offered to
help in catching the people involved
in the plot, but that Powers refused
to see him because he didn't feel
like talking business"
Last Monday Jones claims he
went to Powers office in San Fran
cisco and told his chief that he
had important information con-
cerning the smuggling of narcotics
in jamestown, Sonora, and the Fol-
som prison plot
There's nothing doing. Your
connection with this department is
severed now," Jones quoted Powers
as saying.
The inspector further claims that
he supplied the name, number and
make of automobile, and San Fran
cisco address of man believed re-
sponsible for supply narcotics in
wholesale quantities to the Sacra-
mento delta region, but that nothing
was done about 1t.
Jones charges that Powers re-
fused to work on this case and an
other similar one, involving the very
district he had ordered cleaned
up"
O'Brien had nothing to say until
he made a thorough study" OF the
charges

TAKE STAND In
SLAYINC TRIAL
Witnesses Assert Victim
Was AggressOr In Main
Street Shooting.

Advancing toward the climax
which has been eagerly awaited by
crowds thronging Judge A. C. Fin
ney's court room since Monday, trial
of Gusta Mouzakis on a charge OF
numbering Mihran Karagouzian on
Main street July 13 was to reach its
peak of interest this afternoon
when defense attorneys planned to
call Mouzakis to the witness stand.
It is expected the Greek will tes-
tify he was in fear of his life when
he shot and killed Karagouzian fol-
lowing an argument over gam
bling debt the previous day.
Defense testimony began yester-
day afternoon after District Attor-
ney Elmer w. Heald quietly but
suddenly announced the state rest
ed its case. Following the testimony
of Mouzakis this afternoon, the
prosecution may call rebuttal wit
nesses to close the trial. Saturday
should see the end of Imperial
county's first murder trial this win
ter.
Before the state rested, Edgar
Hervey, defense counsel, attempted
to discredit one of the states star
witnesses by grilling Lewis Armis-
tead, colored, on cross-examination
regarding coaching by the district
attorneys office, and asked the
negro If he expected to receive any
money for. testifying in this case.
Armistead, however, stoutly denied
he had been promised anything for
his testimony, and declared his only
interest was to tell the truth as he
saw it,
Character witnesses, to prove Kar-
agouzian was known as bad" man
among his acquaintance, were the
last defense witnesses called this
morning.
Relate Threats
In yesterday afternoons court ses-
sion the defense built up a strong
theory of self f-defense by the testi-
mony Of Dan Mauson and Jim
Thompson. Mauson told OF threats

HOOVER
PLEDGED
SUPPORT
Sterilization Program
Given Approval By Re-
serve Bank Head.
BANKERS RESPOND
Debt Extension Plans To
Remain Dormant Until

BY RAYMOND CLAPPER
United Press Staff Correspondent


WASHINGTON, Oct. 8. U.p)-
President Hoover was advised this
morning that the s500,oO0 900 redis-
count institution, principal feature
of his new stabilization program,
probably will be incorporated with
in the next 48 hours.
George L. Harrison, governor Of
the New York Federal Reserve bank,
telephoned this information to Mr..
Hoover just before the President
left the White House to address the
Pan American conference. This
was believed to assure the immed-
late effectiveness of part Of Mr..
Hoover'S program despite any pos
sible congressional delay on other
phases. Mr.. Hoover expects his
plan to release approximately $4.-
900, 100000 of frozen assets.
Harrison told the President that
work on the organization of the new
bank was proceeding with great
rapidity.
Details regarding the institution
will be laid Immediately before
every clearing house and banking
group in the country.
Many assurances of support for
the plan already have been received.
it was announced officially at the
White House after Harrison's talk
with the President.
The new institution will not be
sectional, it was said, but rather
would be entirely national in char
acter.
1t will have a board of IL direc-
tors, one from each federal reserve
district.
Officials Pleased
Government officials expressed
qualification today at the response
of bankers to the plan.
1t was learned the treasury may
recommend to congress a plan
whereby federal reserve banks may
aid defunct institutions by taking
out sound assets and advancing
cash which could be distributed to
depoSitors.
While there was much discussion
SCIldlO1S dllo COllSl CociliCAA
regarding Mr.. Hoover's proposal for
extension of the German morator-
ium, the matter will not become
pressing until the visit Of Premier
Laval here later this month. At
that time, Mr.. Hoover has indicated.
he will discuss plans for further
suspension of preparations and war
debt payments.
Congress will have the task OF
carrying out the next major portion
of the Hoover plan. Party division
is close. Many cross currents will
affect the voting. But there was a
general disposition in both parties
today to support the broad objec-
tives of the President except to the
moratorium. Leaders at the White
House conferences approved the

STATE STREET
CROSSING TO BE
DEFERRED YEAR
City Council Assured Ex-
tension Will Be Granted
By Commission.

Assurance the city o. FL Centre
will be granted a years extension
of time to complete the State street
crossing was carried before the city
council last night by Dorsey White
law, city attorney, who reported the
railroad commission had informed
him such an extension would be
permitted.
After listening to the report, coun-
cilrnen adopted a resolution direct
ing the city attorney to secure
formal offer from the commission
and to take any steps necessary to
secure such an offer.
This extension OF time will give
the city a chance to work out de-
tails of the crossing, and perhaps
shave expenses on the cost of the
work.
WhitelaW also was directed last
night to prepare an ordinance con-
trolling religious organizations in
the city which might be declared q
public nuisance. This step was
taken after committee of residents
from the neighborhood of the As
sembly of God church, 335 North
Tenth street, appeared with pc
tition for the abatement of that Or
ganization.
A petition presented, which gained
additional signatures late yesterday
was signed by SO residents of that
community.
An ordinance providing for iSSu-
ance of bonds amounting to s35, 900
to fund the citys debt to George
H. Oswald, paving contractor, was
passed and adopted. Oswald won
judgment in superior court
against the city for a sum consid-
erably larger than that called for
in the bond issue, but later settled
the judgment for $4,000. OF this
S5 900 has already been paid.
Renew Contract
A letter from Phil d. Swing as
sured the councilmen Swing has
joined in urging immediate con-
struction of the new federal post
office building here.
A resolution to renew the contract
whereby DR.. Warren F.. Fox will act
as city health officer for the next
year was adopted, subject to ap-
proval of the contract.
The Southern California Tele-
phone company was granted per-
mission to install an underground
conduit for telephone wires on
Eighth street, subject to approval
by the city engineer and an agree
ment regarding patching of pave
ment torn up to install the con-
duit.
Walter Macdonald, milk and dairy
