Pair OF Marine
Flyers Rescued

SAN DIEGO, Oct. H. U.P)-Two
marine flyers were rescued by the
destroyer Fairfax at $40 a. m. to-
day after IA hours at sea in a
small rubber life raft, the 18th
naval district reported.
The flyers, Lieut. Edward G.
Dyer and Corp. Charles Chambers,
were forced to land their marine
plane in the ocean near San Gle
mente last night when they were
unable to find the aircraft carrier
Lexington because of fog.
Radio advices from the Fairfax
to the 18th naval district said
neither of the men suffered injury.
The plane sank within few
minutes after striking the water
and Dyer and Chambers had only
time enough to initiate the life raft
and stow water and provisions
aboard.
The fog which blanketed the en-
tire southern coast during the
night, prevented their rescue.
Ten destroyers and two subma-
rines were engaged in the search
which ended near the scene of the
forced landing, short distance
from San Clemente island.

GARRISON
ANSWERS
CHARGES
Ousted Official Declares
Rolph Playing Politics
In Discharging Him.
AIDE ALSO RESIGNS
Woman Appointed Head
Of State Department OF
Public Works.

SACRAMENTO, Oct. IL. OPP
Miss Myrtle v. Murray today as
sumed her duties as acting state
director of public works, succeed
ing Col. Walter E. Garrison Of
Lodi, ousted by Governor Rolph
yesterday on charges of disloyalty.
Miss Murray is the first woman
to serve as public works director,
but she has had long experience
in that department, dating back
to its creation in 1921. Previous to
that she was secretary to two Cal
ifornia Hiram w. john
son and William D. Stephens.
While she is acting as director
and Governor Rolph is looking
around for someone to fill Garri-
sons place, Miss Murray will re-
ceive a salary of $4,000 year in
stead of the $3.50 a month she has
been receiving in the department.
The action of Governor Rolph in
removing Garrison and his chief
deputy, James I. Herr, was the
first major shakeup of the present
administration. More was promis-
ed by the governor unless every
one gets down to business"
When he ousted Garrison, the
governor placed A. l.. Banks. as
sistant deputy director, in the pos
ition of acting director. Banks,
formerly a Stockton newspaper
man., promptly fired back let
ter telling the governor he would
not accept the appointment "un-
der any conceivable Circumstance
&C." Banks added that he would
not "by word or Thoughts, inference
or implication, do anything that
could be construed as acquiescence
in the grave injustice you have
done Colonel Garrison and the
people of California"
Rolph Issues Def
Banks also submitted his resig-
nation at the same time. Cover
nor Rolph, plainly angered by the
new developments, dictated brief
acceptance, and declared, "if there
are any more of my appointees
who want to resign, send them in
oiiQ 1 IL dCCOIlulOOdCC tllCll do
quickly as this one"
The Garrison Herr custer was
the climax of months of quarreling
back and forth between members
Of the governors official family.
The situation reached a crisis this
week when the governor accused
the two of playing politics" with
the department and Garrison
struck back with the assertion that
it was the governor who wanted to
play politics.
Garrison charged the whole af-
fair arose out of demand by the
governor that his friend, Frank
O'Shea of San Francisco, be given
state trucking contracts without
entering competitive bidding such
as is required on all public works.
81 consider 1t an honor to be
discharged in view of the requests
for political favors made upon me,
and to which I, as public servant
of all the people of California,
could not conscientiously comply

day at Fresno, Cal, after he had
gone to the home of Miss ScheiG-
ler's mother, Mrs. Wnda Scheid-
Ter, and represented himself as her
long lost son, Orvils-.
Mrs. Schneider, who had not seen
her son in 16 years, became suspi-
cious. Orville later was located at

Police here said they were con-
vinced the girl was Miss Schneider
She was accompanied to the po-
lice station by Redden who said
she had been staying at his moth
er's home since their arrival IN
