WASHINGTON, Feb. 26.-Senate
Democrats rapidly are aligning
themselves against any effort by
the national connlitte to commit
the party, at it's March S meeting,
to policies on prohibition.
The idea generally expressed is
that the national committee has no
authority to bind the party on pol
icies, and that such matters prop
erly belong to the national con-
vention.
Within the week, Senator Ken
meth Mcclellan (Dem., Tenn and
Senator Tom Connally (Deln., Tex

by the committee to commit the

HETzEL RETURNS
FROM ARKANSAS
ROAD MEETING

Leo Hetzel. representative from
FL Centre, George Kruger, Brawley
representative and Victor Hetzel,
who drove the official Imperial
Valley car to the Broadway OF
America Association annual meet
ing at Hot Springs, Ark, arrived
home last night after a two weeks
trip to various cities in the south
and southwest. Hetzel states that
there is no question but that the
Broadway of America, which ex-
tends from Broadway, New York,
to Broadway San Diego, is the best
all-year transcontinental route
About SO per cent of the entire
route is hard surfaced, either
paved or oiled and graveled and
plans were made at the annual
meeting to complete hard surfac-
ing on the entire route, with much
added paving, during the coming
year. The party returned over
different route and Hetzel states
that the roads were not in as good
condition and that the rain great
ly interfered with travel. On the
trip east not one car had to stop
for trouble of any kind and not
even tire change was necessary
among the 80 cars forming the
motorcade from the west.

EEL Every town or city on the
Broadway of America did its part
to entertain the motorcade, bands
were sent out to meet us, dinners
and luncheons were rendered the
western representatives and those
cities where stops were not made
for any length of time had repre-
sentatiyes to serve lemonade and
cookies to the motorists. The party
had a motorcycle escort in many
sections and we were escorted by
motorcycle squad across the entire
state of Texas, 900 miles. Arkan-
sas sent an automobile escort to
the state line to meet the motor
cade, which acted as ac escort to
Hot Springs"
Luncheons or dinners were served
at Yuma, Phoenix, Tucson, Bisbee,
Tombstone and Douglas and side
trips were made at the three later
places to the mines OF Bisbee, the
old buildings of historical interest
in Tombstone and points of inter-
est in Tombstone and points of in
terest around Douglas. AT Ell Paso

to be full of bottled beer and ice.
And the box was one of the kind
commonly used by undertakers to

Another raid last night placed a
second man in Jail awaiting trial on
a charge of possession of liquor. He
is Raymond Roberts, arrested near
the Dogwood canal northeast of FL

lott again were the raiders.
This place was raided twice in the
same night. The first time dill
gent search disclosed nothing. Re-
turning three hours later, Campbell
and Elliott found numerous cars
parked about the place, and a large
number of people inside at tables,

association plans extensive adver-

that many communities are form

Importance to the cities of Imper-
ial Valley, the greater part of the

Transformation, stalked through thousands OF COM
munties in the twenty-one states, where crops
scared and died under last summers terrific suns.
Droughts in small regions and of periods enumer-
ated in weeks have been fairly common occur
renee in some parts of our country. But drought,
starting in sections in January, $780, and re-
naming virtually unbroken year later, according
to Weather Bureau reports, had never before chal-

In those regions most gravely affected-the valley

of the Ohio river and its tributaries in the central
states, and of the Mississippi river in the middle
west-several million people in approximately one
thousand counties suffered in greater or lesser
degree.

Recognition of the plight that might face the

unbroken, came in middle August when President

FEDERAL GOVERNMENT
 CONTINUES ASSAULT
 DOMESTIC DEPRESSION
WASHINGTON, D. C., Oct. 16. (P)

WASHINGTON, D. C., Oct. 16. (P) All the resources of the Federal government were supporting Amer ican banking, railroad and shipping interests in a fresh assault on dO- mestic depression while the Hoover administration opened the door to complete revision of inter-gov ernmental debts for the economic relief of the world
 The original suggestion of Pres ident Hoover for an extension of the debt moratorium has crystal ized sentiment among CongresSion- al leaders for a reconsideration and revision of all inter-governmental debt agreements.
 It would not be surprising if the administration announced a defin- ite program shortly for relieving Europe by reducing armaments as we'll as reparations.
