OcampO Assumes
Charge In Peru

LIMA, Peru, March II. U.P)-Dr.
David Samanez Ocampo, tall, dis
tinguished statesman with almost
two score years of experience i'll po-
litical life, today began reconstruc-
ton of the Peruvian government on
the basis of compliance with my
duty and respect for the law. ,
DR.. Samanez Ocampo, who is 6S,
became head of the government as
successor to Lieutenant Colonial Gus
tavo Jimenez, the army leader. He
formerly was head of the revolu-
tionary junta at Arequipa, chief city
of southern Peru, but his first con-
ferences with Jiminez made clear
that all sections of the nation will
have representation in the new gov
ernment.
The installation of DR.. Samanez
Ocampo as the head of the fourth
government in eight days was
achieved only after new dispute
last night had threatened TO revive
differences between the Lima mill
tary leaders and the Arequipa revolt
chiefs, who were admitted to have
succeeded again in dominating the
national political situation as did
Lieutenant Colonel Luis M. Sanchez
Cerro when he overthrew the H.
year regime of Augusta B. Leguia

tary to Hursh, in which she stated
the company was not able to give
him title to the land on account of
difficulties with the water district
supplying the project.
Several additional letters from

a candidate for the state assembly
and is supporting Sam Robinson as
a candidate to fill the office left
vacant by the recent death of As
semblyman NJ. D. Witter. john

Some time ago announcement
was made in several of the news
papers of Imperial county that l
was a candidate for the office of
asSemblyman. to fill out the uneX-
pired term of the late Myron D.
Witter.
AT that time I intended to seek
the support of the voters of I'M
perial county but subsequently
found the apparent and unanimous
desire of the electorate to be for
my good friend Sam Robinson,
with whom I have pulled, shoulder
to shoulder, in prior campaigns.
Mr.. Robinson knows that l am
for him in this contest and to
those who are not aware of my
withdrawal I desire TO notify them
that I am not a candidate at this
time but am assisting to elect Mr..
Robinson to the office OF assembly,
man of Imperial county, the duties
of which office he is so ably quail
fled TO fulfill.

BEVERLY HILLS, Mar.
10. (Special) = The bia
gest thing in legislation
nowadays is the different
states race for the divorce
business. Arkansaw guar
antees a divorce in three
months, including room
and board. Nevada heard
about it and called a spe-
cial session of their legis-
lature and says:
1--WE will give you one in
six weeks and if any other
state goes under that time,
we will give you a divorce,
marriage and another di-
vorce all for the same
time and price.
"In other words that's
our business. We have
built it up to what it is to-
day. If there had been no
Reno, you would still have
been living with the same
old gal, so remember we
are the state that will di-
vorce you, even if we have
to do it by telegraph"

Threats Enter
Gasoline War

LOS ANGELES, March II. U.P)-
While most independent operators
were retailing gasoline at and 8
cents a gallon today, with major
companies maintaining the price at
12l2 cents, other independents
joined the ranks of those who have
dropped the price to 5 cents.
AS a result several stations have
received calls from rival operators
warning them to stay in line, it
was reported.
One independent reported he had
received a telephone call warning
him to maintain the prevailing
price or your dump will be blown
up"
Police viewed the threat with lit
tie concern, however. Other threats
have been received by major oil
companies that if their night watch
staff was not increased their plants
would be blown up.
Police, however, traced the threat
ening letters and took the man into
custody, so nothing is feared from
this quarter,
