Formulae Papers
Held By Sheriff

LOS ANGELES, Dec. 10. U.P)-
Secret formulae and plans purport-
edly worth $1,0oO,O00 were stored
in the Sheriff's office safe today
while H. D. Barcklay, AT, a chem
ist, who claimed ownership, was
held in county Jail at the request
of Salt Lake authorities who charge
him with embezzlement and grand
larceny.
When arrested Barcklay insist
ed the papers were worth S1,000,000
because they contained chemical
secrets for the manufacture of
synthetic aluminium. The papers
were confiscated at the sworn re-
quest of Donald Armstrong, attor-
ney for the Alumnite Co., a Penn
sylvania concern, who listed their
value at $3.50. Armstrong said the
Alumnite company formerly oper-
ated in Utah.
Exact nature of the embezzle-
ment and grand larceny charges
against Barcklay were not con-
tained in advices from the Salt
Lake City sheriff's office. The sus-
pect said he would fight eXtradi-

ESTIMATES IN
BUDGET GUT

WASHINGTON, Dec. 10. W.P)-
Recommendations that congress
cut the next fiscal years budget
estimates for the treasury and
poStoffice departments by $32,912,-
304 were contained in the first ap-
preparation bill reported to the
house today by the house appro-
priations committee.
Although the committee did not
take cognizance of President Hoov-
er's request that government salar-
les be subjected to an additional
cut of IL per cent, it managed to
report a treasury-poSt office de-
partment bill calling for total ap-
preparation of $194, 1881 1886 less than
appropriations for the current year.
The committee based its pro-
posed appropriations on continu-
ance of last years economy act
with its 1-3 salary reduction fea-
ture.
To cut so deeply under the
amounts which had been recon-
mended in the budget the commit
tee reduced budget-proposed sub
sides for air and ocean mail by
$1,O00,0 and $1950,OOO respective
ly.
The committee also proposed a
reduction of $5,0O0,000 from the ad-
ministration recommendations for
rail and messenger mail service,
and cut $10,000,000 from the $780,
100000 proposed for the treasury
department construction program.
The public building construction
ALLEGATIONS could be lowered, the
committee contended, because "ex-
penditures for public buildings
have Jagged behind the estimates
for appropriations" No reduction
curtailing the ultimate post office
building plan were contemplated
and it was said this could continue
at full speed"

TECHNOCRATS SEE COLLAPSE OF
ECONOMIC AND SOCIAL SYSTEMS

Scant few who coined it. Yet to-
day it is an absorbing topic of con-
verSation among bankers, brokers,
engineers, college professors and
students and even may be heard
discussed ON street corners.
The why of this sudden rise
to prominence of "technocracy" is
explained by its proponents in that
it offers an explanation for the
present CONSTRUCTED state of busi-
ness and commerce. Technocracy
ferrets out the cause of recurring
depression, they say and offers the
following findings:
One man and a yoke of oxen a
century ago required six hours and
40 minutes to plow a single acre
of ground. That time has been cut
to one hour and 10 minutes by the
use of the modern tWo-plow trac-
tor. The conclusion of technocrats,
therefore, is that the steady trend
of mechanics is toward further ell
mination of man power.
Thus technocracy takes into ac-
count the vast extension of pro-
ductive power of labor in proper
ton to improvement Of machinery.
1t describes how tremendously la
bors abilities to produce the things
it requires has progressed through
of industry and ag-
riculture. Peering into the future,
it speculates and theories to what
an extent productive powers will
increase while the necessity for ac-
tual man power will decline COM
mensurately. The outlook of some
technocrats is that if the trend
continues even a short time longer,
a general collapse Of the worlds
economic and social structure is in
eVitable.

APPEAL FILED
BY LAWYERS

Contending that city is without
authority to impose a license tax
upon attorneys, four Brawley men,
bers Of the legal profession yester-
day afternoon filed appeals to the
superior court from convictions in
the Brawley police court for fail
ure to procure city license.
Because it will place before the
superior court question of fore
most interest to every Incorporated
town in Imperial Valley, the whole
sale appeal is far more important
than the usual police or justice
court appeal
w. 1. Wilson, Harry B. Stewart
w. e. Abraham and Fred Thcmp-
son are the appealing attorney.
They were convicted by Judge H. B.
Griffin at Brawley of failing to Sc
cure city license, in conformation
with a city ordinance and were sen
fenced to pay fines of $25 or serve
five days each in Jail.
1t is the contention of the all
torneys that the city ordinance is
unconstitutional in that it c9nuot
be determined if it is an ordinance
intended to regulate the practice OF
attorneys or an ordinance Intended
to give the city revenue.
The attorneys also contend lhat
the city is without authority to im-
pose a license tax, because the at
torneys are members of the state
bar 1t is further contended that
the ordinance is indefinite.

Wright Act Has
Bearing On Case

In case which very soon will
come under the head of resisting
taxation, or must be taken into
federal court, E. j. Balwin and E.
D. Gilbert were arraigned before
Judge l. Mayfield this morning on
a charge of being in possession of
a still.
Because the repeal OF the Wright
act is not yet in effect the case re-
mains under the jurisdiction of
state courts.
Jude Mayfield fixed bond for the
men at $500 each, setting Decem-
ber Is as the date of a prelimin-
ary hearing to determine if they
shall be held for trial by the su-
perior court.
The case may raise an interesting
question, since it is possible that
trial in superior court may not be
held until after the Wright act
repeal goes into effect.
The complaint filed against the
men, however, charged them with
being in possession of a still and
operating it without a permit to
manufacture alcoholic spirits, so
that they may be tried on this
phase of the question.

VICE PRESIDENT CURTIS GIVES
ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF COURTESY

WASHINGTON, Dec. 10. U.p)
The senate rules committee
today investigated threats made
against the life of a news
paper correspondent by a sem
ate employee who rushed into
the press gallery with a revol-
yer in his hand.
Chairman Moses ordered the
inquiry after the threats had
been brought officially to the
senate's attention by Senator
Blaine, Republican, Wisconsin.
Moses promised the committee
would deal with the matter eff
fectively."
Eyewitnesses said the en-
pl0yee concerned was Charles
F. Pace, veteran senate finan-
cial clerk. Brandishing a gun
he was said to have threatened
harm to Charles Stevenson,

congreSsmen's wives. Speaker Gar
ner and several others were reluc-
tant to discuss the matter. Finally
Chairman Warren of the house ac-
counts committee explained what
had happened:
"As an economy move the legis-
lative appropriations Subcommittee
recommended against printing the
report this year, Warren said. "It
would cost $1,000 or $4,000 and the
committee felt it was a useless ex-
penditure which could be elimi-
mated. I didn't have anything to
do with that. They sent the re-
port to me and anybody can come
to my committee office and look at
it
Clerks Get Tip-Off
Last spring Warren put through
a resolution which opened the
house payroll to public inspection.
The reports are so bulky and un-
organized that the uninitiated would
be able to extract little information
from them. -Four months ago house
clerks were unofficially tipped off
not to get the report in shape for
publication because Speaker Gar
ner didn't think they would print
it this year. Usually the report is

seem important, are very con-

The record showed committee
members were indignant be-
cause the first expensive sedan
had been purchased shortly af-
ter congress directed govern
ment departments to cut down
sharply on their motor car ex-
penses. What they thought
about the second car being

was not disclosed.

GANG. TRAINS
YOUNGSTERS

CHICAGO, Dec. 10. U.P)-Chica-
gos notorious west side "42 gang"
takes youngsters out of kindergar-
ten and first grade and appren-
tices them to a life of crime, Capt.
Philip Parodi of the Maxwell street
police district charged today.
Parodi, whose district embraces
the valley" where the youthful
band of criminals has grown up
explained that most of the original
gang members were dead or in
prison.
"The gang is the terror of this
section of the city, said Parodi.
'It may sound silly but I know it
to be true that boys are recruited
when they are and years old.
Older boys teach the youngsters
how TO open automobile doors with
skeleton keys. An elder boy stands
nearby and when the door is open,
he enters the car and drives it
away.
when the stolen car is sold or
stripped, the kindergarten gets
25 or SO cents as his share of the
loot"
Parodi declared the children
were trained to live as criminals.
"The first lesson is to hate the
police" said Parodi. 'The child
learns to keep his mouth shut.
From the time he steals his first
car until he is shot or goes to pris-
on he will not talk to the police"
The police officer said older
gang members held practice ses-
sions on Sundays in learning to
drive automobiles speedily through
city traffic.
"They have regular tests" Par
odi said. "One that must be passed
is to swing an automobile from the
street into narrow alley at SO
miles an hour. Most of these
young thieves can outdrive the po-
lice"

WASHINGTON, Dec. 10.-Econ-
omy fever-or something-has hit
leaders of the house of representa-
tives to the extent of suppressing
the annual report of the clerk of
the house from being printed as a
public document.
This report has been the source
of information concerning employ
ment of relatives and congressional
junkets. 1t was the source of much
information concerning the con-
gressional payroll printed in a Sc
ries of United Press dispatches some
months ago.
Later Sc members of the house
and five senators who had carried
relatives on the payroll retired or
were defeated for reelection. In
many of these campaign fights, the

which was cited as authority for
charges of payroll racketeeering by

NJ LOANS AS
YET BY BANK

WASHINGTON, Dec 10. U.P)-
The federal home loan bank board,
formed six months ago to lend
money to financially embarrassed
home owners, has made no loans
yet because it still is formulating its
policies toward prospective borrow
ers, it was disclosed today.
The board, supervising operations
of IL regional banks, is empowered
by law to lend money directly to
home owners who are unable to
place mortgages elsewhere.
The system is devised to function
primarily, however, by discounting
mortgages for member institutions
savings building and loan asso-
Citations and insurance companies
with the idea that these institutions
then can be more lenient to indivi-
duals.
Other rules so far adopted pro-
vide that individuals may borrow
up to 40 per cent of the real value
of their property. This implies ap-
parently that the bank prefers to
loan on unincumbered property.
Member institutions eligible to bor-
row from the home loan banks,
however, may obtain advances up
to go per cent of their outstanding
home mortgages.
According to board officials the
individual therefore would benefit
more by utilizing the services of
the eligible institutions, rather than
by dealing directly with the re-
gional bank.
Such an eligible institution fur
ther may utilize its credit with the
regional banks to lend its customers
money well in excess of the 40 per
cent limit fixed by law for direct
dealing.
