quires the maintenance of the gold
standard" he said. THE value of
the American dollar must be main
tanned throughout the world
Under the head of "radicalism"
he referred to the conference of
leaders of the self-styled progress
siyes of both parties" held in Wash
ington last summer.
THE body, through its spokes-
men, was to present a program TO
the nation which would be a cure Z.
ALL and a short route to recovery,
he said. 1T is significant that no
program has ever been presented"
He devoted much space to review
ing efforts of the administration to
rehabilitate agriculture, the troubles
of which he attributed largely to
Democratic administration of the
war years.
The Republican agricultural pol
icy, he said, embraces three main
phases-orderly marketing as foS-
tered by the farm board and allied
government activities; adequate
protection and cheaper transporta-
ton as embodied in the inland wa
terWay, st. Lawrence waterway and
similar transportation programs.
Directly and indirectly" he said,
"the federal government has, dur
ing the last three years, poured in
to the agricultural industry nearly
$1,000, 100000"
He advanced the Hawley-Smoot
tariff as the agency which prevent
ed American markets being flooded
with foreign products. The Demo-
Gratis, he said, "chanted their hynr
of nate" against this measure "in
the whole warp and woof of which
their handiwork appeared through
their policy of demanding special
protection for the products of Their
own districts"
Democratic tariff policies, he
charged, would merge "our own
needs into the lesser needs OF Pa
tagonia and Siam"
He listed as accomplishments OF
the administration foreign policy
the progress of the efforts towards
disarmament, the averting OF a
threatened war between China and
Russia" ending unofficial hostili-
ties between China and Japan" and
the reduction of marine forces in
Haiti and Nicaragua.
Dickinson closed with a plea for
party loyalty.

FAKE NARCOTIC
TRIO PATCH UP
THEIR DISPUTE

Because state narcotic agents
discovered that 80 tins bearing
labels declaring the contents to be
morphine contained only a chalk
mixture, and because Roy Shelton,
80, refused to sign any complaint,
Ray Ericsson, SO, and Frank Arda-
vino, "a, were released from Gus
tody this morning upon payment
of a fine of $50 levied by Judge
Lee Nuffer when the two men
pleaded guilty to technical charge
of vagrancy.
The same charge was filed
against Shelton, but hearing of his
case was continued until tomorrow
morning. He was formerly asso-
ciated with the other two in a
deal involving the 80 tins of sup
posed morphine, according to a
story told to officers after the three
were arrested Sunday night at the
local Postal Telegraph office.

which Shelton said they took from
him when they assertedly held him
up on the Yuma highway east of
Holtville. The $500 was money he
owed the other men, he admitted,
disclaiming any ownership or in
terest in it.
Chris Hansen, Harry BoShardt
and Berton Hames, state narcotic
agents, arrived at Ell Centre this
morning to investigate the three
men and their activities, but said
they could take no action when
tests disclosed the tins contained
no morphine, or other drug.
The narcotic officers did, how
ever, tell of a recent San Fran
cisco haul of morphine packed IN
tins identical to those taken at the
time Shelton, Ericsson and Arda-
vino were arrested at Ell Centro.
The tins, with French labels, had
not been seen in the United States
for two years prior to this haul,
the Officers said. The three men
arrested here are from San
Francisco.
El Centro officers said Shelton
was to deliver the tins and their
contents to Ericsson and Ardavino.
1t was money from delivery of 10
of these tins which caused the two
to trail Shelton from San Fran
cisco, finally halting him on the
desert and taking back the money,
according to officials. Since Shell

only $500, they ordered him to re-

GAMBLING FEUD
IS BLAMED FOR
AKYAMA SLAYING

An intensive investigation by
county officers today had uncovered
evidence that death of Harry AK
yama, whose body was found in an
irrigation district canal west of
Westmorland yesterday, may have
been the result of a Westmorland
gambling feud, since Akyama was
q gambler by profession, and oper-
ated at Westmorland.
The investigation also uncovered
evidence that the mans body prob
ably was thrown into the canal last
Friday. since he was last seen at
Westmorland on that day Tom
Sharp, investigator for the district
attorney, and Harold Gillett, inyes-
tigator for the sheriff, were pLr~
suing their inquiries this afternoon.
That any one of four knife
wounds in the body and throat of
Akyama would have caused in
slant death, was the disclosure
made as a result Of an autopsy held
yesterday afternoon at Brawley.
Although there ware nine sep
arate wounds in the partially de-
composed body, it was apparent
that twice the knife had entered
the heart and twice it had entered
the jugular vein, according to testi-
mony at the inquest.
A coroner's jury returned a ver-
dict that Akyama, now believed 20
have been a Korean, died from
knife wounds inflicted by an un-
known person or persons.
Several japanese who had been
summoned to the inquest, on the
possibility they might know Ak
yama, said he was not japanese,
but probably was Korean.
While Tom Sharp and Harold
Gillett, investigators for the dis
trict attorney and sheriff. were in
the north end today following out
an investigation into the murder
of Akyama, Undersheriff Rodney
Clarke at the sheriffS office was
awaiting word from Los Angeles,
the mans home.
The sheriff's office at the coast
town has been asked to trace, if
possible, any connections of Ak
yama, whose registration slip,
found in his pocket, showed his
official residence as the Eagle
hotel. No word had been received
here late this afternoon of any
relatives or business connections,
however.

HARMONY WITH
PRESS URGED BY
POLICE OFFICIAL

PORTLAND, Ore, June "A. U.P)-
The Lindbergh kidnapping and the
need for cooperation between po-
lice and press became keynote
problems before the thirty ninth
annual convention of the 1nterna-
tional Association of Police Chiefs
today, when they were injected in
the opening report of Hugh D.
Harper, chief of Police of Colorado
Springs, Colo, president of the
association.
Deploring the fact that every
movement Of Investigators was
printed by the press, and that in
experienced investigators and crooks
were dominating factors in the
Lindbergh case, Chief Harper
called on the police of America TO
solve that crime.
The law enforcement officers
of this nation have one piece OF
unfinished business which must be
cleared up, and that is the kid
naping of Charles A. Lindbergh, jr.,
he said.
81 sincerely hope that the people
of this nation have learned a les
son that they will never forget.
hope that never again when a SER
ious crime such as this has been
committed, that those most deeply
interested will not make the ter
ible blunder of calling in legal adj
visers who have had no experience
in criminal investigations and high
power crooks; nor investigators
whose whole life and training have
been TO work with the crooks rather
than against them. = The Off
GERS of this nation must solve this
awful crime and mete out such
justice as will be possible to the
perpetrators Of this act"
All experienced police officers,
Harper said, know that crooks i'm
mediately after they commit
crimes, seek newspapers to learn
just how much the police know of
the case. He praised the press in
general for its cooperation but
added that there are bad spots"
where the publication of crime news
acts as aid for the criminal and
thwarts justice.
IF you will take the newspaper
men into your confidence and tell
them what you are doing, there are
extremely few newspapers who viii
violate your confidence, and those
who do will soon be outlaWed by
their own fellow craftsmen"

In Assault Case

Ed Arkelian, Armenian canta-
loupe shipper, yesterday paid a $l0o
fine after pleading guilty before
Judge 1. Mayfield to a charge of
assault, filed by P. V. Harrigan,

inspector received a black eye and
several bruises in the resulting
fight.

Arkelian, was charged in another
complaint with disturbing the.
