PROHIBITION TERMED FAILURE
BY JOHN D. ROCKEFELLER JR.

NEW YORK, June T. U.P)-John
d. Rockefeller, Jr., born and bred
of teetotaller stock, has spurned the
prohibition amendment and come
out for its repeal.
His starting course, after years OF
moral and financial support of the
dry cause, led anti-prohibition
forces today to see a tremendous
impetus for a national referendum
on prohibition, while drys charged
him with erroneous conclusions on
prohibitions effects and insisted
they still would win.
Rockefeller made known his

ing DR.. Nicholas Murray Buffers

Republican national platform.
Head of the Standard Oil, prom

been an abstainer and an ardent
worker for dry legislation. His
father and grandfather were abb
stainers, and his mother, Rockefell-

TAXATION WAR
WAKES MERRILY

LAS VEGAS, New, June 7. UP
A showdown" on the entire tax
proposition in the Boulder City
area was demanded today by Dis
trict Attorney Harley A. Harmon
after it was reported to the board
of county commissioners that Sec
retary Of the Interior Wilbur
assertedly promised the area would
be withdrawn and tax free.
Commissioner E. G.. McGritf re-
ported to the board that w. A.
Bechtel, president of the Six Com
panies, Inc, said to him and County
Assessor F.. C. DeVanney that there
was "a definite understanding with
Secretary Wilbur and the govern
ment that this would be with
drawn area and free from taxa

McCriff quoted Bechtel as say
ing that "it was with this under
standing that we bid on the con-
tract" Six Companies is construct
ing Hoover dam.
Harmon declared that If Secre-
tary Wilbur made Such a PROMISE
it amounted to definite discrimina-
ton in favor of one of the bidders
on the dam project.
The district attorney further
pointed out that despite withdrawal
of the reservation area from the
state of Nevada and the creation
of a government controlled dis
trict. state and national laws still
give the state the area between
low and high water marks OF the
Colorado river, in which the SIX
Companies property is located.
Harmon advocated sending IN

HOLLYWOOD, June 7. U.P)-
Clara Kimball Young, once noted
screen actress, Is recovering from
severe cuts and bruises and a sub
sequent infection as the result of a
recent automobile accident, it be-
came known today.
Miss Young was injured last
week when an automobile in which
she was riding with her husband
DR.. Arthur Fauman, skidded on a
wet pavement and overturned near
Ventura. Cuts which she sustained
became infected, her husband said,
delaying her recovery, although he
said she was in no danger.
The accident became known when
it was announced that many of her
art treasures, given her during her
reign as screen beauty, would be
sold at auction today.
The possessions to be auctioned
include a rare lace handkerchief
made in 1850 and presented to her
by Queen Marie of Roumania.

CLAPPER STATES
LITTLE DONE TO
HALT 'RACKETS'

PITTSBURGH, Pa, June 7. U.P)-
Despite all of ica st:iving for gov
ernment economy, congress has
thus far done little to check the
widespread carrying of relatives
of senators and representatives on
the federal payroll, Raymond Clap
per- chief of the Washington bu-
reau of the United Press, said in
a talk to the Pittsburgh Advertis-
ing club today.
And instead of curtailing the eX-
tensive use of the free mailing
privilege which senators and rep
resentativeS claim for themselves,
the house voted in the pending
economy bill to increase by 25 per
cent the appropriation for the
folding and sealing of franked mail.
This was done on the plea that this
being campaign year, greater de-
mandS would be made by members,
Clapper said.
Speaking on the subject of "Rac-
keteering in Washington" Clapper
described some of the practices
which he discovered while writing
a recent series of dispatches for
the United Press which attracted
nationwide attention and caused the
house to vote to open its secret pay
roll records.
inspection of the house payroll
will show that despite the open
ing up of the records to public
scrutiny less than a dozen congress-
men have removed their relatives
from the payroll" Clapper said.
THE records when made public a
few weeks ago showed 100 members
carrying as clerks relatives bearing
the family name. How many 9TH
ers were supporting nieces, nephews,
married daughters and sisters and
in-laws' bearing dissimilar names
could only be determined by
squad of geneologists."

COURT UPHOLDS
ALLEGATION OF
RIVER WATER

United States circuit court OF
appeals in San Francisco yesterday
approved proposed ALLEGATION OF
water of the Colorado river among
various irrigation districts and the
cities of San Diego and Los An
geles.
The circuit court thus upheld a
federal court decision denying all
injunction to M. Edwin Greeson
and Clara D. Strieby, Imperial IL
rigation district landowners, en-
joining the district from entering
into ALLEGATION contracts with Palo
Verde. Coachella and Metropolitan
Water districts and the two cities.
Plaintiffs contended the Imperial
district owned 3,43261l acre feet
annually from Colorado river water
and any division of the water
would relinquish rights and prop
erty of which they were part
owners.
The circuit court held that the
districts right to water is not ex-
elusive and that the contracts OBJ
viously were made to effect COM
promise OF the provisions of the
Boulder dam act and rules OF the
department OF the interior. The
decision declared that the water
of the river is a treasure that Of

COUNTY ADOPTS
LICENSE TAX ON
0LE0MARGARINE
Dairy Men Take Steps To
Protect Industry From
Substitutes.

Because a delegation of Imperial
Valley dairymsn waited upon the
Imperial county board Of supervis-
ors this morning to say that unless
some action is taken the dairymen
will be unable TO carry on. the
supervisors directed the district at
torney to draft an ordinance levy
ing a license tax on those selling
oleomargarine within the unincor-
porated areas of the county.
At the suggestion ef Romeo
Smith, El Centre supervisor, the
ordinance will be drawn in such
form that it will be suitable to
trustees of various towns in I'M
perial Valley, if they care to adopt
such an ordinance for the towns.
The dairymen appeared in the
supervisors room at 11:30 this
morning to ask that oleomargarine
sellers in the county be taxed, and
bringing to the attention of the
supervisors the one cent drop in
the price of butterfat last night.
1t was estimated that $4,000
pounds of oleomargarine were sold
in Imperial Valley during 1890.
During discussion of the pro-
posed ordinance several members of
the board of supervisors expressed
the opinion a county ordinance
along this line will do little good
because most of the oleomargarine
sold in the valley is sold at various
towns. The dairymen's commit
tee, however, informed the super
visors that councils of the towns
will be asked to adopt an ordinance
similar to that to be written by
the district attorney
Other business of the supervis-
ors this morning included an order
directing that a telegram be sent
to Governor Rolph asking him to
establish a state quarantine against
the alfalfa weevil. Three delegates
to a conference at Los Angeles on
this parasite were approved.
DR.. Warren F. Fox was reap
pointed as county health officer for
another year.
A permit was granted A. W. Nc
Mahan for public dance hall on
the Brawley highway one mile
south of Brawley.

BROOKHART MAY
LOSE OFFICE AS
!OWA'S SENATOR

DES MONIES, June 7. U.P)-Sen-
ator Smith W. Brookhart was fight
ing in second place today to win
the Republican nomination that is
necessary if he is to be returned
to congress from Iowa
Brookhart was headed by Henry
Field who made his political debut
in the Iowa primary that was held
yesterday.
Field, Shenandoah seed man, who
resorted to old-fashioned torch
light parades, steam caliopes and
similar campaign gestures in his
plea to the voters, had a lead of
nearly six thousand over Brookhart
in returns from 81 out of the SO
counties of Iowa
The totals, with $40 out of 2,435
precincts were: Brookhart 30,157;
Field, 36,025; Louis H. Cook, 1920;
George Cosson, 4,975: Glenn Haynes
1854; and L. E. Eickelberg, 965.
In the contest for nomination
for Democratic United States SEN
ator Louis Murphy of Dubuque, an
avowed wet, was leading former
Senator Daniel F. Steck and G. F..
Lytle by a margin that will be
hard to overcome.
Dan w. Turner, incumbent gov
ernor apparently was assured of re-
nomination by his party when re-
turns from BAT precincts gave him
25,003 to 4,960 for Kive; 1894 for
Lange and 2,134 for Kehoe.
Gilbert N. Haugen, Oldest mem
Der of the United States house of
representatives in point of service,
was fighting close race with
State Senator G. A. Benson. His
district was one of the most iso-
lated and returns were slow COM
ing in. In Charles City Benson
held a slight lead but it was ex-
pected Haugen would poll heavy
vote in the rural sections.
Fields apparent victory over Sem
ator Smith w. Brookhart for the
nomination affected him but slight
ly as he turned to the task of
managing his seed business.
II knew all the time I'd win, ="
said Field. mo Field has ever been
defeated at anything. We always
win, no matter what we go after"
Field, in his campaign, matched
circus strategy with the veteran
Brookhart even to the point of TAX
ing with him on his tour of the
state a covered wagon and a five
piece band. He resurrected the
torchlight parade, unseen in Iowa
in 40 years, when he returned like
a victorious Caesar to his Shenan-
doah home with a steam caliope
to wheeze a welcome.
Field never before had been in
politics. Born on a farm, at the
age of five he sold so cents worth
of poppy seeds to his aunt, and
with that capital started a seed
house which now is a million dol
lar concern.

Hard-working and plain-spokel
Charles Gates Dawes is closing an
other page in his long book of serv-
ice to the nation. He retires on
June Is from the presidency of the
reconstruction finance corporation
to return to his Chicago banking
business.
His resignation was accepted last
evening by President Hoover with
deep expressions of regret and
praise for his lifetime devotion to
public welfare" Dawes had given
no intimation of his plan to re-
turn to Chicago SO soon.
He submitted his resignation
with an expression of confidence
that the country is on the road to
better times
Nov that the balancing of the
national budget by congress is
assured, the turning point toward
eventual prosperity in this country
seems to have been reached he
said.
He was referring to passage of
the new tax bill, which the Presi-
dent signed shortly before an
nouncing Dawes retirement.

Bingham Pleased

Senator Bingham (Rep) Connec-
ticut, who is in the forefront Of
the repeal struggle, welcomed the
Rockefeller statement thus:
obviously the costly experiment
backed by the great wealth in the
United States has failed in the
opinion of those who invested huge
sums of money in an attempt to
regulate personal habits Of the AM
erican people from Washington"
Senator Bulkley CDem9 Ohio,
who was elected on a wet platform,
said:
Il am glad to see one more con-
vert. I hope both parties in their
Chicago conventions will include in
their platforms planks for repeal
of the 18th amendment"
This dual plank suggestion has
other supporters, but is not be-
lieved likely of adoption. John j.
Raskob, chairman of the Demo-
cratic national committee, is re-
ported on reliable authority to have
suggested the idea some days ago.
Influential Democrats, however,
were cool to the idea. Raskob was
a visitor to Capitol Hill yesterday.
Reports that he had renewed his
suggestion that the parties agree on
an identical prohibition plank could
not be confirmed.
Senator Borah (Rep) Idaho, who
is threatening to bolt the Republi-
can national convention unless it
meets his views on prohibition,
characterized the prohibition plank
suggested by Republican senators
as a combination of sham and hyp-
ocriSV.

AWAIT CORONER'S
JURY VERDICT In
RRAWLEY SLAYING

No delay was contemplated this
afternoon as Jose Espinosa awaited
a preliminary hearing before Judge
H. B. Griffin at BraWley on a
charge of numbering Jose Sayavera
Sunday night on the Pepper Fruit
company ranch four miles west and
a mile north of Brawley.
The preliminary hearing was to
be delayed only long enough for a
coroner's jury to investigate the
death of Sayavera, who was shot
through the heart by a bullet from
a .25 calibre automatic, and return
a verdict.
Unless some entirely unexpected
evidence arises, the coroner's jury
probably will return a verdict
blaming Espinosa for the death OF
Sayavera, and the preliminary
hearing will result in an order that
Espinosa be held without bond for
trial by the superior court, off,
cials believed.
Action by officials in this case has
been more swift than in any other
like case in the past two years. Ar
rested Sunday night, Espinosa was
arraigned before Judge Griffin yes
terday, and was taken to Brawley
today for the preliminary hear
ing. He probably will be taken into
superior court next week, and will
20 on trial during the July GRIM
inal calendar.
This is the second time EspinoSa
has gone through this procedure.
Once before he was arraigned In
Justice court, on a charge of muir
dering Pearl Hynes, Brawley ranch
er. and was held for trial by the
superior court. There a jury be-
lieved his story that he had moth
ing to do with the killing, although
he admitted being present, and
found him not guilty. Ysidro Car
denas. co-defendant, was found
guilty of second degree murder and
sentenced to San Quentin prison.
This was almost exactly year ago.

PARTY LINES BADLY DISRUPTED
BY ROCKEFELLER'S STATEMENT
United Press Staff Correspondent

United Press Staff Correspondent
WASHINGTON. June bolt Of
John D. Rockefeller, Jr., from the
forces of prohibition to the hackers
of repeal aroused new furore to-
day over party prohibition plat
forms.
Republican senators who found
half hearted agreement in coun-
try club conference Sunday upon
revision, retention or repeal
referendum plank are again in con-
fusion.
James r. Garfield, prospective
chairman of the Republican nation
al convention resolutions commit
tee, met with the senators again
and discovered the prohibition
agreement shattered.
Senate drys demanded that any
proposed state action on any al
teration of the 18th amendment be
by legislatures. Anti-prohibition-
lists insisted that the states elect
conventions for the sole purpose
of passing on the question of main
tanning the amendment in its pres
ent form, abandoning it or revis-
ing its stringent language.
Garfield was understood to be
intending to return today to Cleve-
land with the issue undecided.
Fortnight senate vets meanwhile
threaten their moist and dry col
leagues with a straight out fight
in the convention on the repeal is
sue if no compromise can be had
on a resubmission program. The
Rockefeller letter has heartened
the prohibition group. They
are more confident today than at
any time since the 18th amend
ment became effective.
