DISTRICT DIRECTORS STUDY
STATISTICS ON FINANCES.

862.73. This bond fund, however,
cannot be used to pay off register
ed warrants at this time, it was
explained by officials.
In talking over the situation yes
terday, Director Mark Rose said
there might be a deep reason for
the action of the local Bank of
America branch and the Security
First National Bank of Los Angeles
branch.
1T always was considered good
business to use registered warrants
the way the district has been do
ing but If the banks do not wish
to accept them, We will have to
get along without banks. 1t has
been done by the district in the
past and perhaps We can do it
again if necessary. We may have
to cut expenses and salaries to
the bone but we will deliver water
just the same. If the banks don't
want our registered warrants, we
will not urge them to take them"
NJ. j. DoWd, chief engineer, quot
ed facts and figures concerning cuts
made in operation expenses and
salaries and explained that the reg
istered warrant system had been in
Use since the district took over the
mutual water companies.
w. F. Beal, who presided during
the absence of Chairman c. w.
Brockman, said there must be some
way to make up the deficit caused
by the slice taken off the districts
income by the great decrease in
Mexican revenues.
Dowd said he did not consider it
wise to let the system run into a
neglected state as it would have
to be placed in order some time.
Beal said he agreed with Dowd that
the system must not be neglected
He said he was of the opinion that
the district should cut out buying
and tell bond holders that the dis
trict could not pay its capital debts.

its task of redrafting law enforce
ment measures as a cure for laxity.

vict escaped from Oahu prison, was
hunted in the cane fields and
mountain crags of the island after
his asserted identification as the
assailant of Japanese man and
woman. The man was beaten,

A long list of witnesses was
called by prosecutors for the Sec

murder charges aboard the navy
receiving ship Alton at Pearl
harbor. The jury was expected TO
vote on indictments sometime

Meanwhile, the senate and house
OF representatives, called into Spe-
cial session by Governor Lawrence
M. Judd, expedited six measures
designed to curb a wave of terror
ism which has created chaos in this
Paradise OF the Pacific"
Fourteen witnesses were heard by

BY RAYMOND CLAPPER

WASHINGTON, Jan. %. - Tho
federal government is set for Its
major blow at the depression.
With the new $2,000,000 900 re-
construction finance corporation,
the government is about to make
its supreme effort to push industry
off its dead center. By a shee..
mass barrage of millions of dollars.
on a scale never before attempted
anywhere in history and possible
only in a country of Americas
gigantic wealth, this government is
seeking to revive the confidence of
the country.
This nation, which has astounded
the world by an industrial develop
ment which put automobiles and
other luxurieS within the reach of
almost everyone, with a normal
annual income of possibly s90,000,-
100000, with $5,000,0 100000 actual
money in circulation and unlimited
resources temporarily locked up by
fear, is now attempting to drive
away its own bogies. 1t is at
tempting to pull itself up by Its
own efforts with typical American
audacious enterprise.
President Hoover is waiting to
sign the reconstruction finance
measure as soon as congress fin
ishes the final legislative formali-
ties. He already has asked con-
gress for a $500,000,000 appropria-
ton to provide initial capital.
Charles G. Dawes, typical
American business man of courage
and disregard for precedents. IS
standing by, already designated as
president of the corporation, pre-
pared to throw his commanding
personality and business experiences
into this gigantic job. He stands
as the impersonation of American
confidence in the future, in the
countrys almost ineXhaustible re-
sources, for the conviction that
anything is possible. He, along
with the S200O,O00, 900 will become
one of the most valuable assets
of the corporation.
Beside him is the less dramatic,
