IMPERIAL VALLEY PRESS
SEE THE GAME

THIS column has not said much this
year about Central Unions football
team for the good reason that we hardly
knew what to say, the boys looking great
in one game and not so good in the next.
And football fans always tell us if
players are praised in print they get
swelled heads and lose and if they get
panned they get sulky and lose. On this
basis of argument a newspaper would
be responsible for all losses. And we
have enough blame on our shoulders or
dinarily without wishing to add to it the
losses of football games.
However, CentralS squad showed last
Friday night that it can play bang-up
football. 1t performed as we'll as any
high school team ever produced in the
valley and it deserved to win.
All of which is more or less prelim-
mary to the idea we had at the outset
of this article-the desirability of hav-
ing large squad of rooters tomorrow
when Central plays Brawley in the lat
ter city.
BY standing Calexico's Bulldogs on
their heads last Friday, Central is again
in the running for the valley champion
ship. The team came from behind to
get that chance and tomorrow will tell
whether the championship is to come to
El Centro again, or go to Brawley.
The team is ready and willing to put
up the same kind of game tomorrow
that it did last Friday night. 1t will
help the boys great deal if they know
that the home folks are behind them.
By and large, Ell Centre has always
given fine support to its high school
teams and it is not likely to break the
record tomorrow.
1t will help digest the Thanksgiving
dinner, or create a fine appetite for it,
in case one is dining late, by doing a
couple of hours roofing tomorrow af-
ternoon.
Brawley's supporters will be out en-
masse and the inter-city athletic rival
ry will be at high pitch.
Coach Armstrong and his assistant,
Don Ketchen, have worked hard all sea-
son to put the Spartans into the run
ming and they, with the members of the
squad are fully entitled to the support
of Ell Centre.
The game is at 2:3O, and every Ell
Centran who can do so ought to be there.
-O
Well, if we could only go skating to-
morrow on some New England mill
pond????
And don't forget, your yelling may
be the energy needed to put the ball
over Brawley's goal line tomorrow.
Now if Amy Johnson will fly the At
lantic, Captain Mollison never will have
a chance of being the boss.

WAR CAME WON
BY Blue FLEET.
Spectacular Navy Battle for
Hawaii Ends.
BY JACK O'MEARA
T1uifad pra.s cnao;aI ro-..n-o.. i -.


HONOLULU, Feb. 13.-The navy's
"blue" attacking fleet was believed
the victor today over "black" de-
lenses in the annual war games on
the Hawaiian islands.
High army and navy officers COM
posing board of umpires studied
the results of the tactics today and
it was reported their decision would
favor the United States battle feet,
which conducted the attack.
Exciting sham battles in the
clouds, on the surface, and even BEG
meath the waves were staged by
planes, men-o'war and submarines
during the exercises. The fighting
officially began several weeks ago,
when the attacking fleet left San
Pedro, Cal.
The maneuverS ended when
"blue" expeditionary forces of 10000
troops battered their way through
island defenses and landed between
Waianae and Uanakuli, on the lee
ward side of Oahu island.
Some sixty vessels of all classes,
composing the "blue" fleet, showed
great superiority in eluding the de-
Tense. Navy ships stationed here
were joined by army airplaneS and
soldiers in elaborate plans to ward
off the attack.
Bue the "blue" men advanced and
landed before black units were
aware of their presence.

Passengers on Century Line
Read Unfair Warning,
Carried in Air.
By United Press


CHICAGO, Feb. 13.-The first
aerial picketing in history resulted
today from the wage dispute of
twenty-five air pilots and the Cen
fury Air Lines, by whom they were
employed before the controversy.
just before the ST. Louis plane
of the Century line arrived at
municipal airport, a cabin mono
plane took off with the legend,
Century Is Unfair to Pilots"
painted in white On its fuselage.
While the st. Louis plane, On the
only Century route not suspended
by the dispute, circled the landing
field, the picket ship zoomed up
and flew in formation with the
transport plane.
The picket plane flew close
enough to the incoming transport
SO that startled passengers could
read the message. After the Gen.
fury plane landed, the second ship
came down.
David Behncke, president of the
Pilots union, supporting the avia-
tors in their wage disagreement,
said the plane was not flown by
former Century pilot. The picket
ing will continue, he said, as part
of the aviators' program of pas
Sive resistance TO the wage reduc-
ton, which they contend would cut
their salaries 40 per cent.
The Century lines announced it
had signed eleven pilots, and ex-
pected to resume full service as
soon as the men had been given
thorough tests over the company's
routes.

Russia Agrees to NipponeSe
Rule in ManChuria, Says
London Newspaper.
AVERTS WAR BY PACT
Moscow Pledges Hands Off
Policy on Pacific, Claim
of Writer.
BY HERBERT MOORE
United Press stan Correspondent


LONDON, Feb. 10 Sensational
charges of a secret treaty concluded
between Soviet Russia and Japan.
giving Japan control of Manchuria
and part of Mongolia, were pub
hShed in the Daily Express today.
The Daily Express article assert
ed that the agreement was con-
cluded by Moscow as an alternative
to war over Russias waning inter-
ests in Manchuria, now occupied by
the Japanese.
The newspaper said that the de-
sire of some of the Soviet leaders
to fight it OUT with Japan had
resulted in a bitter conflict" in the
inner councils at Moscow.
Railroad to Be Sold
The Soviet government was de-
clared to be pledged under the pact
not to intervene in any affair affect
ing the Pacific coast-a purported
stipulation of peculiar interest to
the United States.
The Daily Express correspondent
also said that it had been agreed
that the Soviet interests in the
Chinese Eastern railway, running
through North Manchuria, would be
sold to Japan. Japan acquired the
railway rights in South Manchuria
in the Russo-Japanese war IN
1904-05.
Joseph v. Stain, the Soviet die
tator, was said in the article to have
overru.ed the demands for war. by
deciding that the Soviets at pres
ent were in no position to face the
presumably highly organized war
machine Of modern Japan.
1t was recalled that recent dis
patches from Moscow reported all
"ominous silence" in government
quarters concerning the clash of
Russian and Japanese interests in
Manchuria when japanese troops
occupied Hardin, chief city on the
Chinese Eastern Railway, hereto
fore jointly controlled by Russia
and China.
Fear White Russians
NtO OdPdll6oc COIlSul al the same
time at Vladivostok, Siberia, near
the Manchurian border and on the
Pacific, reported "war-like" activities
by the Russians. The Soviet Of
ficials repeatedly have emphasized
their desire for peace.
1t was admitted by the Soviet
delegation at Geneva recently that
certain changes were being made to
strengthen garrisons on the Man
churian frontier.
They contended, however that
Moscow was concerned only with
the possibility that white Russians
Cczarist Sympathizers) now living in
exile in Manchuria, would attack
the Soviet union. These white Rus
SLAMS joyfully welcomed the Japa-
nese occupation of Hardin and fhs
SoVlets feared they intend to make
the city center of intrigue against
Moscow. ''''-''V

MUNCIE, Ind, Feb. 13.-George
B. Lockwood, SO, one of Indiana'S
outstanding publishers and politi-
cal figures, died in Ball Memorial
hospital Friday night after an ILL
ness of less than week. He was
stricken with heart disease last
Sunday.
For several days it appeared that
he would recover, but he suffered
relapse.
Messages of coincidence we're re-
ceived today from nationally prom
inent persons, including President
Hoover. Lockwood was one of Hoo
ver's campaign managers in 1928.
Lockwood acquired the Muncie
Evening Press in 1912 and continued
as publisher until his death. Prior
to acquiring the Press, he had
owned and edited the Marion
Chronicle and founded and pub
lished the Terre Haute Evening
Tribune.
His father, who moved from For
est, Ill, to Peru, Ind, a few years
after Lockwood was born, was edi-
tor of the Peru Republican.
For many years Lockwood was
active in Indiana G. o. P. ranks. He
held numerous positions with the
state organization. He was founder
OF the Indiana State Journal, which
in 1914 became the National Re-
publican. 1t now is a monthly pa
triotic publican known as the Ma
tional Republic.
From 1922 until 1924 Lockwood
was secretary of the Republican ma
tional committee.

BONES OF NAP0LE0N'S
SON TO BE REMOVED
Hapsburg Pretender Rumored to
Have Sanctioned Plan.
By United Press

~ OntJeU PfeSS
VIENNA, Feb. IS. - Austrian
monarchial circles have been
stirred by reports that the, body of
the Duke of Reichstadt ("LAiglon) /,
the frail son of Napoleon Bona
parte, who died a century agoyafter
collapse of the Napoleonic reign,
would be removed from the Capu-
cir1e monastery in Vienna to Paris.
The sensational but unconfrmed
reports said that Archduke Otto of
Hapsburg, pretender to the throne
Of Hungary, had given permission
for the removal of the body, long
sought by France.
One version of the reported ar
rangements was that with the per-
mission of Archduke Otto, the
Capucine monks would permit the
Austrian government to remove the
body to France i'll the hopes of
arousing popular sympathy there.
Austria is in need of financial as
SiStance. This might be forthcom-
ing If France is sympathetic.
