Asparagus Growers
To Meet Tonight

Valley asparagus growers will
meet at 7:30 o'clock tonight at the
Valley Pine Box Co. office in El
Centro to discuss the question of
continuing the curtailment of ship
ments by means of cutting out the
unclassified and choice grades.
-Four days ago, growers and ship
pers agreed that for a period of
that length, they would ship no
unclassified and choice asparagus,
thus limiting shipments in the
hopes of improving market con-
ditions and removing the surplus.
Yesterday the Los Angeles mar
ket reacted favorably and the price
OF asparagus jumped. Growers to-
night will decide whether they
wish to continue the limitation or
whether they will ship all grades.

Police Block
EXtOrtiOn Plot

LOS ANGELES, Oct. %. U.P)-
An extortionist who demanded
$4,000 from Chaffee Earl, son OF
the late E. T. Earl, millionaire
publisher, was still at liberty to-
day because he failed to keep a
downtown rendezvous with his in
tended victim last night.
In so doing, the eXtortionist es-
capped a police trap that had been
set for him.
Earl had received several letters,
signed by "The Fox" threatening
him unless he paid the money. The
last note ordered him to go to a
downtown street corner last night
with currency. With a dummy
packet of bills in his hand, Earl
loitered around the corner for
more than an hour while detect
ives hovered nearby. But neither
THE Fox nor accomplices ap-
peared.

Eight days ago, in answer to the
Southern California publishers the
senator again expressed his dislike
of the Presidents policies.
Il am a progressive Republican;
Mr.. Hoover is not" he declared.
"FIe has justly earned the title ol
ultra conservative" Johnson went
on to declare the progressive
thinks in terms of human beings;
the standpatter has little thougl

He attacked the President by
declaring: THE Republican party
is not at stake in his campaign.
1t is only the ambition of one man
who but little more than a de-
cade ago did not know which was
his party, and who before that had
no American party at all"

u. S. HOPES TO SAVE
150 MILLION FISH
Rescue Work in Land Locked Pools
of Mississippi River Valley
Will Be Speeded.

officials of the Commerce Depart
ment's Bureau of Fisheries today were
comforting on plans to rescue 100000
600 fish Of various species in the upper
Mississippi River Valley.
These fish, according to officials, are
likely to be left stranded by receding
high water in land-locked lakes and
lagoons, and they viii perish unless
transferred to major streams.
The rescue work will be done by a
crew of about 100 men in charge of
G. F. Cutler at La Crosse, Wis.
Cutler now Is in Washington In con-
ference with Commissioner Henry
O'Malley. He said in the average year
about 140,000,000 are rescued from
these land-locked death traps. Last
season, due to an abnormally low water
level only about 51,00o,000 fish were
trapped. The greatest number ever res
cued in a season was 178, 100000.
The water level of the upper Missis-
sippi River is higher than normal right
now, Cutler explained, and this means
a larger number of fish than normal
will reach the land-locked waters.
Officials said the rescue of these fish
represents direct saving of natural
resource that brings a large revenue to
commercial fishermen. 1t also means,
according to Cutler, that millions Of fish
are made available to the public that
could be produced in hatcheries only
at a much larger cost.

avall, Warden Tom Logan ordered the
ofncers to use tear gas bombs to dis
lodge the prisoner.
Three tear gas bombs were hurled
anto Holmes cell before he capitulated.
AS he walked into the death row corri-
DOR he smiled family and puffed at a
cigarette.
