Holds States May Make
Treaties or COmpacts
TO the Editor Of The Star:

TO the Editor Of The Star:
Referring TO q letter you printed IN
the December Z. 1892. issue OF The
Star from Joseph w. Cheyney, regard
ing one Of the most astonishing state
ments he ever saw, In the December 4
edition, I would like to suggest that
perhaps he Is the one who Is tangled
up. In the article he refers to failed
to encounter the difficulty OF digesting
the comparatively simple, clear and log
It IS clear that Mr.. Cheyney is not a
student of modern political science. To
prove my point shall quote a lew
lines from the latest edition OF Ogg g.
Ray, leading authors OF political science
text books.
IT Massachusetts desires to enter
into an agreement with Great Britain
she can do SO, provided an alliance or
confederation Is not created. With
the consent OF Congress two or more
States, furthermore. may make agree
ments or compacts among themselves;
and although full possibilities OF Sc
curing cooperation among the States
are only beginning to be realized, sew
eral such agreements are now on rec
ord-(a) New York and New Jersey In
1921, concerning the development OF
the port of New York. (b) One OF 1922,
among seven States, regarding alloca-
tion of rights to the waters Of the Col
orado River Basin. (c) One OF 1925
between New York, Pennsylvania and
New Jersey, pertaining to the use OF
waters Of the Delaware River. (0 One
between Washington, Oregon and Mon
tana regarding use Of the waters OF the
Columbia River. -. 1t should be
noted, however, that the clause re-
quiring consent OF Congress is not to
be taken with absolute literalness. TWO
or more States, acting independently
may agree to clean a disease se-producne
district on their common borders; In
fact, New York and New Jersey some
years ago settled matter OF sewage
pollution Of New York Harbor. As con-
strued by the courts, the restriction ap-
plies only to agreements tending to in
crease political power Of the States !;
where consent Of Congress Is necessary
it may be given either before or after
the agreement Is made, and may be
either express or implied. Indeed
blanket permission to make agreements
on a given subject may be given IN ad-
vance, as was done in 1911 in connec-
ton with interstate compacts designed
/ to conserve forests and water supply.
I wish to contradict Mr. Cheyney's
statement that States have surrendered
treaty-making power to the National
Government. As far as can find out
treaty is a formal compact or agree
/ ment, and If States form such agree
ments or compacts. why In the name
/ Of common sense isn't a treaty being
made?
Congress enjoys the exclusive right
OF regulating interstate commerce. II
the national prohibition law is repealed
it seems to me that State enforcement
Of this traffic can and will be handled
4 by State treaties along lines outlined
/ by the school man in your Sunday edi-
ton, December 4. 1882.

Motor Extravaganza
By Public Officials

To the Editor Of The Star:
Under the laws of our democracy We
get men Of all grades of intelligence and
intellectually in public Office. That
from this condition Is shown by the eX.
travagant way in which two automobiles
we're purchased because one was too
small for practical use on formal oc-
casions. Are the taxpayers required to
supply and maintain expensive auto
mobiles for use by executives wives on
social calls? It does not take the men,
tality of an intellectual giant to under
stand why this country Is running one
of the largest deficits in history when
extravaganza Of this nature comes to
light. j. B. MCCOY.

Proposes a Tax for
All.Night Parkers
To the Editor of The Star:

70 Ute CUItU1 Oh I 1Ic 0tuI'
Much criticism Is expressed about all
night parking, but there is a simple
way to deal with 1t effectively. People
who park all night do so for two rea-
sons, first to save garage expense and
second for convenience. Hence let all
who use the streets for all-night park
ing pay a tax of a few dollars per
month. In this way the District would
realize considerable much-needed rev.
enue and at the same time rid the
streets of worn out and dangerous cars
not worth storage charges.

Cashin' In.
We had little poker game
In Crimson Gulch last night.
We called it friendly Just the same
1t turned out impolite.
1t was with many joyous thrill
We sat down to begin,
And nothing was unpleasant till
1t came to cashin in.
The hard luck fellers would apply
For many little loan,
Which sympathy could not deny,
AS beaten hands were shown.
The sympathy was with them still
But grew little thin
And did not disappear until
It came to cashin' In.
The losers had a nasty way
That sounded mighty sad
OF claimin' they were asked to pay
For fun" that we had had.
Cold lead they hinted they might spill
They showed us, lose or win,
The game is never finished till
It comes to cashin' in.

RED CROSS KEEPS OPERATING
DESPITE DEPLE ELTON OF FUNDS

In spite of the fact that all Red
Cross funds were depleted more
than month ago, the valley chap
ter has been able to accomplish
much in the way of charitable re-
lief on account of the generosity
of valley residents, according to
Mrs, Mae Sherry Winans, execu-
tive secretary.
An appeal was made to the ma
tional Red Cross organization for
help to carry on the work until
such time as funds are available
A financial response to the appea
is anticipated soon, according tx
Mrs. Winans.
One of the most encouraging re.
ports is that Is tons of flour were
shipped to Imperial Valley this
week from Chicago, the same type
Of flour which was used in the
county by many needy families
this winter. The Red Cross in this
case acted as intermediary with the
government.
Every needy family in the coun-
ty will receive "a pounds of the
wheat, an amount estimated to be
sufficient to provide food for three
months. An average family of five
was used in ascertaining the
amount of wheat necessary for
that period. A canvas of relief
agencies was made in determining
the number of families in need OF
aid.
The 10000 pounds of wheat is. ex-
pected to arrive in the valley soon
1t is placed in "a pound sacks and
will be distributed to all needy
families in the county, the Rec
Cross to serve as distributing agen-
cy for the government.
Mrs. Winans and Mrs. w. T. Hill
president of the Anti tuberculosis
association in the county, made a
recent trip to Palo Verde where
they found nine school children
termed border line tuberculars"
The report was made by the county
health department Arrangements
were made for Blythe creamery
to deliver pint of milk daily to
Imperial Valley press., 1932-04-16

each of the nine children until
school closes. The Anti -Tubercular
association will pay for the milk
and the Red Cross provide paper
cups for the children This ac-
complishment, it was pointed out,
demonstrates the manner in which
the two organizations cooperate in
handling relief work
The children are to be taken to
clinic in Blythe where they will be
X-rayed at a minimum cost to
! the association. Rest hours morn
ingS and afternoons in addition to
/ the milk are expected to prevent
active tuberculosis in the nine
cases.
! Most of the work during the last
month. said Mrs. Winans today,
has been done among local fami-
lies. Valley residents were gener-
Gus in contributing layettes for
new babies which arrived in local
needy families during recent weeks.
There are many instances on
record where needy and destitute
families were returned to the places
of their legal residence for en-
ployment or charitable relief.
In conformance with a state law
which makes a relief agency gull
ty Of misdemeanor for extend
| ing aid longer than the designated
emergency period, it is declared to
be imperative that destitute fam
lilies be returned to their legal res
licences for future care Mrs Win
ans explained that the Red Cross
policy is to assist travellers or tran
sients to the places where they be-
long before they establish a new
residence and become a permanent
burden upon this community.
a 14-year-old boy is in the I'M
perial county detention home be-
cause no funds are available to
send him to his mother in Kan
sas. An older brother paid for the
youth to be kept in a school on
the coast but the provider is out
of work and unable to help fur
ther. The mother will give the
boy home but has no money for
transportation.
A glance through the files re-
veals many instances of coopera-
ton between the Red Cross and w.
N. Cunningham of the federal en-
ployment service. The Red Cross
provided emergency relief and the
employment service found work for
many families this winter, thus ac-
complishing what the organizations
term permanent relief"
Eleven eX-Service men secured
disqualification during the last
month, the Red Cross making the
arrangements and filing for dis
ability allowances or compensa-
ton.

PAIR OF FAMOUS
M-MEN ACTORS
ON LOCAL Bill

A pair of husky uwo-fisted stars
in the same film is the offering
at Fox Imperial theatre for tonight
when George OBrien and Victor
McLaglen will be presented in The
Gay Caballero", a lively western
film.
Two mere men cannot make a
good picture though, so Conchita
Montenegro, helps out in that i'm
portant work by playing the lead
ing feminine role.
O'Brien is cast as a young grid
iron star who returns to his faith
er's western ranch to learn that
the latter's death has not only left
him the ranch but also the border
feud that goes with it. In seek
ing to settle the feud the young
man falls in love with the fiery
niece of his enemy and soon finds
himself embroiled in war, romance
and reckless adventure.
The picture is lively from start
to finish and packs a punch in ev-
cry scene.
II. Iough 10 BE Famous" is
the Sunday attraction with Doug
las Fairbanks, Jr., playing the live
ly role of young naval officer
who becomes a national hero when
he sacrifices himself to save the
lives of his men entrapped in a
submarine.
Feted and toasted, wined and
dined, he seeks to escape from the
praise that is showered upon him
by means of romance, only to
find after marriage, that he has
made a mistake.
His matrimonial affairs are
eventually Strengthened out when
he and his wife decide they can
get along without all the rest Of

Pacific Coast
League Scores
BY United Press

The palm went to Pitcher Bill
Henderson of the Seals today for
hurting the San Franciscans to a
80 triumph over the Reds in the
nearest approach to q perfect game
seen in the coast league this sea-
son.
A lone single in the third inn
ing by Freddy Hofmann, Mission
catcher, robbed Henderson of q
no-hit, no-run game. AS it was,
the Reds couldn't capitalize on the
hit and finished scoreless. 1t was
the fourth straight win for San
Francisco over the Missions, and
kept the Seals on top in the league
standings.
Manager Ernie johnson of Seat
tie today protested Oaklands 7 to
6 victory over the tribe. He claimed
Joe Burke should not have been
allowed to score in the third inn
ing. Umpire Henry Tanning called
George Blackerby's infield fly when
the bases were loaded but Fuzzy
Huff ran off first base and Catch
er Cox threw the ball to that base.
Burke, on third, scampcrcd home
with the winning run.
Portland had no trouble ham,
