ALLEN ATTACKS
ROOSEVELT In
NEWPORT TALK

NEWPORT, R. l., Sept. l. U.P)-
Franklin D. Roosevelt's election as
president would mean "the estab-
lishment of the pork barrel as the
emblem of our national security"
Henry j. Allen, former Republican
senator from Kansas, declared in an
address here.
He deplored the "socialistic view
John N. Garner, Roosevelt's run
ming mate held on finance.
England has been driven by the
socialistic leadership of men who
believe as Jack Garner believes,
that the way to make people happy
and prosperous is to give them all
the money they need out of gov
ernment treasury" the Kansan said.
He demanded to know why Roose-
velt who had declared in his Col
umbus speech that the present ad-
ministration could have averted
ruinous speculation and bank fail
ures did not relieve the situation"
in his own state.
why didn't he, whose powers are
ample under the state laws, give
his associates the benefit of that
phenomenal insight which he now
assumes to possess?" Allen contin-
ued. why didn't he prevent the
crash of the Bank of United States,
a state institution under control of
his own government"

.DOOLITTLE TO
TRY AGAIN FOR
SPEED RECORD

CLEVELAND, o., Sept. l. U.P)-
Maj. James H. Doolittle, who set
an unofficial worlds land plane
speed record with an average speed
Of 293.193 miles an hour yester-
day, planned to take his stubby
red and white Gee-Bee racer aloft
today for an official record.
Doolittle's mark failed to meet
official standards although he at
tanned a speed Is miles an hour
faster than the present record. His
plane was not equipped with a
Paragraph, nor was there another
plane aloft to take altitude and
dive heights, as the rules demand.
Three other flyers have met the
200-mile per hour standard set for
qualifierS fer the Thompson
trophy race. They are Bill Long,
Robert Hall and Ben Howard.
Doolittle flew the first lap at
294.462 miles an hour, made the
second lap in 296.151 miles an hour,
290.259 in the third and 291900 in
the fourth and final lap. The
present record of 278.48 miles an
hour was set by Warrant Officer
Bennett at Estres, France, in 1924.

ment over failure of officials to
attend to details or recording the

CITIES ASKED TO
SHOW CAUSE ON
VALUATION PLAN

In compliance with a request
of the farm bureau, Imperial
Irrigation district directors to-
day considered the proposition
of increasing the valuation of
city property to more nearly
equalize it in relation to acre
age property.
After considerable discussion
1t was decided to inform various
municipal governments of the
suggested increase and set
day when the matter might be
given full consideration by the
district board and representa-
tives of valley municipalities.
A resolution to that effect
was adopted by the board with
Tuesday, September 6, at 2
o'clock in the afternoon set as
the time for the conference.
The secretary was instructed
to inform city councilmen and
clerks of the various cities and
towns of the meeting and to re-
quest that suitable representa-
tives appear for the purpose of
discussing the matter before
the close of the equalization
period.
Representatives of the farm
bureau recently requested dis
trict directors to increase val
uations of property within the
corporate limits of valley cities
and towns.

BERLIN, Sept /. = Germany's
"big push against the Versailles
peace treaty was on in full force
today
The German demand for equal
ity in armaments, made through a
memorandum to the Grench gov
ernment, was considered the most
important onslaught on Versailles
since the unsuccessful effort to
conclude a German Austrian GUS
. toms union.
The partial scrapping of repara-
tions at the Lausanne conference
was interpreted here as a further
crumbling of the Versailles system
Germany's position is that If the
world powers cannot achieve radi-
cal, worldwide disarmament, the
German army must be remodeled
III proportion with the military
evolution of other countries.
A government spokesman en-
phasized that the memorandum
contained no detailed technical re-
patterning of the German armed
forces, but was limited to dis
cussion of principles. Chief among
these was the argument that Ger
many must be allowed what is
conceded to other nations.
The spokesman said the CONVEX
sations were inaugurated with
France because the French have
always divulged a minimum under
standing of the German demands.
Other developments in the Ger
man situation which tended to
focus the worlds attention on the
reich included:
ID Increased G erman tariffs
threatened important markets for
American products. representatives
of leading American typewriter
manufacturers met to discuss the
situation resulting from q virtual
doubling of tariffs on their prod
uct, while other American business
men openly advocated tariff re-
prisals.
90 Germany appeared headed
for a break with the League of
Nations. Credit for payment of
Germany's dues in the league was
deposited with Berlin banks, but
with the understanding that any
money paid as dues would be spent
by the league in this country. The
league refused to sanction this pro-
cedure.
90 The memorandum to France
overshadowed, for time, the deli
cate internal political situation in
which Chancellor Franz Won Papen
had the right to dissolve the new
reichstag at will meaning if fol-
lowed, new and costly, and per-
haps troublesome, general election.

TUBBS PREPARES
FOR HARD FIGHT
AGAINST M 'AD0O
Bitter Contest Expected
In November General
Election.

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. l. U.P)-
Nomination of Tallant Tubbs, en-
thusiastic young -prohibitionist
as Republican senatorial candidate
to oppose William Gibbs McAdoo,
elderly choice of the Democratic
party in Tuesdays statewide pri-
mary, today promised a colorful
Campaign for the post now held by
Samuel M. Shortridge.
Tubbs, 35-year-old state senator
based his successful campaign for
the nomination on his opposition
to the eighteenth amendment. His
defeat of Senator Shortridge, who
has served II years in the senate,
was attributed by political OBJ
servers to the veteran senator's in
decision. Formerly staunch dry,
Shortridge in his fight for re-
nomination advocated resubmission.
McAdoo's Overwhelming victory
in the Democratic race was even
more surprising than the retire.
ment of the conservative Senator
Shortridge. The wartime secre-
tary of the treasury obtained more
votes than his five opponents to-
gether
Although Democratic registration
in California increased this year,
Republicans cast approximately
295, 900 more votes in the primary
than the Bourbons. The total
COP. vote was about 100000
while the Democratic candidates
attracted few more than $4,000.
Wet and dry sentiment appeared
almost equally divided. Tubbs, run
ming as an avowed wet, defeated
Senator Shortridge and Congress-
man Joe Grail, both drys. McAdoo
conceded a dry, won an equally
convincing victory.
Shuler Figures
A third figure in the senatorial
campaign will be the Rev. Robert
P. (Fighting Bob Shuler, Metho-
, dist preacher of Los Angeles. He
ran on the Republican, Demo-
cratic and Prohibition party tickets.
He won the Prohibition party
nomination and can be counted
upon to enliven the campaign be-
tween the youthful Tubbs and the
elderly McAdoo. Shuler received
125,112 votes on the Republican
ticket and 56,568 on the Demo
cratic ticket.
McAdoo's sensational victory ir
the primary climaxed his battle
with Justus Wardell, Northern
California wet leader of the Bour-
bonS, for control of the party III
the state. BY a clever coup, Nc
Adoe obtained control of the state 5
delegation to the national conven-
tin, switching its support from
John N. Garner to Gov. Franklin
D. Roosevelt when the latter's nom
ination for president appeared i'm
minent. ...-
The Wardell-McAdoo feud was
carried into the primary, with War;
dell receiving a crushing defeat.

FARMERS CONTINUE BITTER
BATTLE AGAINST DEPUTIES

, stop milk trucks at least" said
leaders of the little handful of men
who remained from the ranks of
the picket armies of a few days
ago.
The men were bitter against the
truce order, charging that it had
destroyed all hope of obtaining a
higher milk price. They believed
creamery heads would have capt.
ulated had the strike continued in
full force for another 48 hours.
Many of the pickets gave up the
battle in disgust when the truce
order reached them, and returned
to their homes On several high
ways only eight or 10 men stood
guard today where as many as 500
were encamped yesterday.
Many trucks got through the
| lines, some of them, however,
reaching the market only after
sharp brushes with the guards.
Several truckers were given first
aid for bruises.
Similar situations existed in
Iowa, where farmers also were
loath to leave their lines. Picketing
at Sioux City continued, but the
fight was almost abandoned at
Des Moines and Council Bluffs.
Leaders who ordered the truce
said it was only natural some strike
activity should continue.
The temporary peace was ordered
until after a conference of middle
western governors, called to con-
slider steps to aid the farmers in
obtaining higher prices for their
products, is held at Sioux City,
September 8.
DES MONIES, Ia, Sept. /. U.Pe
John Chalmers, chairman of the
Farmers Holiday association in
Iowa, issued a statement today en-
phasizing that a truce in the far
mers' strike declared last night is
effective only in Iowa.
ut in no way affects the actions
of Holiday leaders and members of
other states" said Chalmers dec

WOMAN KILLED
in AUTO CRASH
NEAR BRAWLEY

Instant death last night claimed
Mrs. Minnie L. Myers, Al, when an
automobile driven by Ter son
crashed into the rear of a truck
and trailer going west on the Los
Angeles highway two miles west of
Brawley, driven by James c. Cath
cart of Santa Ana.
Lavida Smith, who accompanied
Mrs. Myers and her son, william,
was taken to the Brawley hospital
after the crash, but did not suffer
serious injury. William Myers es-
capped without injury.
An inquest this morning resulted
in verdict by the coroner's jury
that the accident was unavoidable.
Although William testified he did
not see tail light on the trailer
before his car crashed into 1t, other
testimony was to the effect that
the truck and trailer were fully
equipped with lights.
Mrs. Myers and her son had been
living at the Shady Grove automo-
bile court at Brawley. Miss Smith
was a friend of Williams.
The accident happened about 7
o'clock last night. Both the truck
and automobile were travelling west
when they reached the Tamarack
bridge. BY coincidence Homer
Frantz, owner of the truck, was
driving east, and reached the bridge
at the same time. The lights from
his car shown in the eyes of Myers,
who could not see the truck.
AS he passed the truck Frantz
shouted to the driver to slow down.
Cathcart did so. BY the time
Frantz was past and Myers had
recovered from the momentary
blindness caused by Frantz lights
he was too close to the truck to
stop. His car crashed into the left
rear end of the trailer.
E. j. Weatherbie, state traffic
patrolman who arrived seven min
utes after the accident, took charge
of the situation, ordering the girl
to the hospital and ascertaining
that Mrs. Myers was dead.

tunate accident spOils the record
