que dentro de seis meses ellos

chswehr en- la Guardia Civil?
EStas dos preguntas estan init
mamente ligadas y las dos apa
recen como opuestas en- la con-
sideraci6n del future de Espa-
ma.
El gobierno del primer mi
nistro Azana tiene bien domi-
NADIA la situacion, pero los de-
s6rdenes sociales parecen ha-
berse convertible en- cr6nicos.
En- ell primer ano de la Re-
publica esos desordenes oca-
sionaron la muerte de cuatro
personals cada semana. Aho-
"a ell numero ha subido a siete.
Pero tales motines son faci-
les de reprimir porque en- este
pals de las p~aradojas la ma
yor parte de los des6rdenes
son anunciados, antes de que
s~urjan, por los organizadores.
Los anarquistas apoyan sus
lpalabras en- la clase trabaja-
dora de las ciudades y su agi-
taci6n no es cosa nueva. No pue-
de decirse que sea ahora mas
amenazante de 10 que era ba-
jo la monarquia. Los describe
res sociales en- los districts ru-
rales, especialmente en- Anda-
lucia, deben atribuirse a 10 que
pudiera llamarse ell comunis-
mo agrario. Lenin habia dicho
que despues de Russia, Espana
seria Ell primer pals en- seguir
las orientaciones boisheviques,
a causa de la miseria y de la
ignorancia de las masas cam
pesinas.
En- Andalucia, ell 500 de
los trabajadores del campo no
saben leer Y sus jornales cast
no bastan para libraries del
hambre. Ellos estan a MERGED
de los patronos, muchos de los
cuales destinan grandes fincas
a la crianza de toros de lidia.
Es natural que en- tai terre-
no la semilla del descontento,
una vez sembrada, germine ra
pidamente y que los radicales,
va sean sindicalistas, marquis
tas o comunistas, hagan TODD
10 possible por verla fructificar.
81 ha de decirse la Verdad,
en- ell campo y en- las ciudades
los trabajadores han perdido
la esperanto que abrigaban
cuando Sc asCciaron para esta-
blecer la republica.
En- muchos casos ellos cream
que un cambio de regimen trae

mo resultado de este los ira
bajadores industriales siguen
a%vanzando en- sus ideas politi-
cas- y los campesinos claman
por algo mas que hambre, de-
mandan mayor paga y alguna

Para satisfacer estas ultimas

Palm trees bid fair to outShine

received reports OF numerous plant
ings of palms in and around Ell Gen.

One of the most extensive plant

THE, SHANE IS OURS

IT Is not difficult to recall the Joy and
I pride which surged throughout the
United States five years ago today when
the news was flashed over the ocean that
young American flyer had succeeded in
making the first New York to Paris
flight.
Not since the armistice ended the
World war, had such enthusiasm grip
ped the American people, as when real
ization of what Charles A. Lindbergh had
done came to them.
In the triumphs that followed. Lind
bergh remained true to the best ideals,
turning down all offers to capitalize SEN
sationally on his achievement, and there
by gave further proof of the sort of man
he is.
Not once in his subsequent career did
he do anything that might be construed
as ungentlemanly or contrary TO the high
opinion the people had OF HIM.
Yet his position today, five years after
we acclaimed him hero, is not an envi-
able one. He has done nothing to DIM
his brilliancy, but the American people
have permitted him to be changed into a
man of sorrow, whose grief cannot be
lightened by the memories OF the honors
we accorded him.
tressing events of the past few months.
They are altogether too familiar to US:
Tortured, betrayed and cruelty robbed OF
his dearest possession, it is remarkable
that Lindbergh does not turn bitter
against a country which permits to eX-
ist. conditions which make possible the
infliction of such tragedy on one who
so little deserved it.
But there has been nothing to Indicate
that he holds such feeling, which
stamps him as even greater than his
wonderful flight made him.
The grief is Lindbergh's but there IS
no shame attached to his grief. The
shame belongs to the American peop
who have countenanced the gangster, the
gunman, the rum runner and the rae
keteer, not only in their literature and
their entertainments, but in actual life.
We are only harvesting that which we
have sowed and only heaven knows when
tie harvest Will end.

Finally, Skvirsky went TO Aus

His position here is purely unof-

Russian affairs. But on these visits
he IS not, officially, the Soviet

Norton Visits
Friends Here

j. B. Norton, formerly plant
pathologiSt fur the agricultural
commissioners office and origina-
tor of the Mary Washington strain
of asparagus planted in Imperial
Valley, is visiting the valley for a
few days although his friends will
have difficulty in recognizing him
as he is hiding behind a complete
set of Whiskers and beard.
Norton spent the winter in South
Carolina where the original seed
patch for the Mary Washington as
paragus was developed. He is en-
ployed by the Coker Pedigreed
Seed company, owners of this Or
iginal patch, and spent the winter
working on Improvements in the
strain.
At present he is visiting
the valley and his many friends
here. He is particularly interested
in mildew prevention work on
cantaloupeS and has inspected the
experiments in the county. He also
stated that it seemed good to get
back to a county where infestations
Of Johnson grass are not to be

NEW INDICTMENT
PLANNED AGAINST
CAL!pATRIA MEN

Because of newly discovered ev-
idence with an important bearing
on the case, District Attorney FL
mer w. Heald yesterday afternoon
before Judge Vaughn N.
Thompson to move that grand
jury murder indictment against
Joe Hatfield, Bob Roberts and Jack
Williams be dismissed for the pur-
pose of resubmitting the case TO
the grand jury.
The evidence Immediately was
submitted to the grand jury, which
adjourned after o'clock yester-
day afternoon, until Monday, with
out having returned another in
dictment. 1t was understood one
important witness had not ap-
peared.
In the meantime the three ac-
cused men are held at the county
Jail without bond, under a super
ior court order that they be kept
prisoners until further action by
the grand jury. An indictment
naming the three men is expected
Monday morning.
This action probably will not de-
lay the case in the slightest, since
the trio was scheduled to appear
for arraignment and plea in SUI
perior court next Friday. Should
they be re-indicted Monday, they
will appear on that day
Because of the secrecy surround
ing matters concerning the grand
jury nothing could be learned of
the new evidence which caused the
sudden and unexpected dismissal.
BY the first indictment the three
were accused of numbering V.
Gomez, Mexican laborer during a
drunken brawl on a ranch south OF
Calipatria, and throwing his weight
ed body into the Alamo river.

PROUD OF HER

MRS. AMELIA EARHART PUTNAM,
i'i real flyer and not one of the MOTOR
iety seekers, Is the first woman to cross
the Atlantic ocean alone by airplane,
having landed safely this morning at Lon
donderry, Ireland.
Her feat, even though crossing the
ocean by plane mas become commonplace,
IS indeed worthy of commendation. The
same dauntless courage and skill which
the crossing required five years ago, are
essential today.
Mrs. Putnam is equipped with those
most desirable attributes and America
has reason to be proud of her. Her sue
cess must be heightened somewhat by the
knowledge that man flyer failed this
same week in the task which she accom-
plished.
1t was Mrs Putnam's second crossing,
but on her first trip she was merely a
passeger. The honor of being the first
woman to send plane over the Atlantic
is hers.
All those who are proud of her achieve
ment will fervently hope that her sue
cess will not be crushed beneath a weight
of woe such as has afflicted the pioneer
of nonstop ocean flights, whom she so
greatly resembles.
