DOWD DECLARES
NECESSITY OF
CANAL is VITAL

Necessity brought the first con-
ception of the All-American canal,
and necessity requires that the peo-
pie of Imperial Valley move for
ward unswervingly to actual con-
struction and completion of that
great project.
Thus Chief Engineer M. j. Dowd
summarized in a few words the
basic facts that explain why res
idents of the valley have time and
again given overwhelming evidence
of their opinion regarding this pro-
posed development.
At the high school auditorium in
Calipatria last night, several hum
dred north end citizens gave close
attention to details not only of the
canal construction plans but of the
proposed contract that is shortly to
be laid before the voters for rati-
fication.
ITO get our system out of Mexico
has long been the dream Of water
users. But that fault, serious as it
is, is not alone the reason for this
new project" Dowd pointed out.
Our diversion problems at An
drade force us to take steps at the
earliest possible date to move up
stream. The factors which prompt
ed Imperial Valley to vote the La
puna dam. All-American canal con-
tract in 1918 are just as real today
as they were then. There is no
alternative. We have got to aban-
| don lockwood diversions gate
The proposed All-American canal
contract is the product of months
and years of intensive study. 1t is
J the very best contract Imperial
| Valley can hope to get, always rec
| ognizing that it must meet with the
approval OF the secretary Of the
interior, and, more important even
must meet the approval Of success
sive congresses which are to ap-
propriate up to S38,500,000 with
out interest for construction OF the
canal. Dowd declared.
Outlines Benefits
Opponents of this contract have
neither offered any amendments to
it, nor have they specified a single
practical, constructive change that
would serve to promote the inter-
ests of water users and at the same
time have a possible chance of ap-
proval at the hands of the federal
government.
You people have listened for
years to the objections of a small
minority, first to high dam at
Imperial Valley press., 1931-10-17

Boulder canyon and, of course, to
the All-American canal. but you
have proceeded toward the goal
without pausing You are hearing
opposition to the contract that Is
to make possible the very project
you have asked for"
Dowd discussed at length the ben-
efits to the valley from the desilt-
ing works that are to be built at
Imperial dam. He outlined brief
ly the general engineering features
and estimated costs.
THE contract protects Imperial
Valley fully on the score OF costs.
1t specifies that we are to pay only
actual costs but that we will not be
obligated in any event should those
costs exceed s38,5OO,000, Dowd said.

New York, May 28.-(UP). - Despite another break in steel com mon to a new low since 1923 and sgins of scattered selling in vari- ous individual issues, stocks main tained fairly steady tone through the greater part of to-day's trading.
 Some irregularity developed after a substantial midday rally but prices of most of the leaders held above their previous closing levels in the early afternoon trading. Steel common moved narrowly around it's previous level of 921-3, while gains of fraction to several points were made by such leaders as Westing- house Electric, General Electric, General Motors and Union Carbide. American Telephone was bright spot in an otherwise quiet utility list rising several points.
 Trading was extremely dull, trad CTS apparently waiting to see which way the wind was blowing before making large commitments. The short interests was considerably re- duced during the noon rally but at the same time important liquidation shows signs of drying up for the time being.
 As a result. price changes in gen. eral were extremely narrow and of little significance. Pool activity in shares such as Woolworth, Auburn Auto and other leaders was ob- scured by renewed weakness in in- dividual issues and many of the oil shares.
 Both Lehman corporation and Baldwin went to new low ground on heavy trading, weakness in the lat ter being in reflection of omission of

 KINGSTON CASE

Hartford, Conn, May a. (UP)-- Final arguments for five defendants lin the fraud trial of r. E. Kingston and his brokerage associates and the states attorney were delivered to- day and Judge Frank P. McEvoy was expected to deliver his verdict before the close of court.
 At the opening of court, Judge Me Evoy granted an additional hour to Attorney Charles J. Martin. who rep- resented Frederic E. and Harold Kingston and Edmund J. Grandahl. Martin had been interrupted yester- day when Judge McEvoy told him there was no point in continuing his argument.
 Martin declared there was no fraud case if the alleged false certificate of organization of Connecticut Trad ing Corporation were overlooked. The idea of organizing Connecticut Trading Corporation with notes of three Kingston employees as paid in capital was that of John H. Reid, Martin declared Reid, former kins- ston office manager, turned states evidence.
 Attorney David Reilly argued for Colonel Lewis l.. Field, counsel for the Kingston firm and its subsidi- |aries. Field would not do anything false or fraudulent to his worst |enemy," Reilly asserted.
 Argument for Frank H. Smith, who was Kingston advertising and pub- licity man and an incorporator of |Connecticut Trading Corporation, was delivered by Attorney William Walsh. Walsh declared Smith sign ed the assertedly false certificate and note out of loyalty to his em- pioyer."
 For my client fin particular said Walsh, "the signing of this note was Ia novel experience"
