CLIFFORD AGAINST
GOVERNMENT AID
FOR UNEMPLOYED

WASHINGTON, Jan. 8. U.H-
Walter S. Clifford, director of
President Hoover's organization on
unemployment relief, argued
against federal appropriations for
the destitute in testimony today
before the senate committee con-
sidering unemployment relief bills.
1T would seem that the COM
bined efforts Of communities,
counties and states con take care
of the situation this winter he
said.
During the lengthy hearings
thus far the preponderance of evi-
dence has been in favor of fed
eral aid, representatives Of many
organizations and communities
asserting that adequate relief could
not be promised unless the gov
ernment took hand.
Clifford, however, stood firmly
behind the administration attitude
that each community should care
for its own cases of suffering and
distress.
Clifford said that federal appro-
priationS would lessen community
and state responsibility and tend
TO diminish the sincere and
whole hearted efforts of the hun
dreds of thousands of volunteers
engaged both in raising and ad-
miniStering relief funds"

WARNING
NOTE BY
STIMSON
Notifies Japan American
Rights In Manchuria To
BE Respected.
PENALTIES HINTED
Nine Power Treaty To Be
Invoked If japanese Do
Not Curb Activities.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 8. U.P-
The state department has received
a flood of protests from American
firms in Ianchuria against inter-
ference with their business by the
japanese. This condition was an
important factor in Secretary
Stimson's decision to restate
Americas open door policy.
Stimson sent notes to Toxic and
Peiping late yesterday reminding
them of the rights of the United
States and its citizens in China.
He cited the Kellogg peace pact
and some unidentified provisions
of the nine power pact to bolster
these rights and China's right to
sovereignty.
Stimson's act sets a precedent.
The secretary warned Japan that
if it violated the Kellogg pact By
forcing China to grant treaty
rights under durcss the United
States would not recognize them
This was interpreted as applying
penalties to violators of the pact,
hitherto regarded as merely
simple declaration.
In 1929, at the time of the
Chinese Russian dispute, Stimson
set up machinery for expressing
world opinion against violators OF
the pact. Nov, according to Off
cial Interpretation, he has gone a
step further by setting up penal
ties to apply to violators.
The United States, officials said,
has reason to believe that at least
some of the six signatories of the
nine power treaty other than
Japan and China will join the
United States in calling into play
it's provision upholding Chinese
sovereignty.
business in Manchuria has fol-
lowed in the wake of the japanese
army, officials said. Shipments
of United States firms have been
delayed, banking facilities have
been withdrawn and there has
been other interference with nor
NAL business.
During the japanese military
campaign the state department
realized that some interference
with business. in Manchuria was
inevitable. Now that the Japa-

SUPPORTERS OF
ROOSEVELT TO
FIGHT FOR HIM
New York Governors Fol-
lowers Plan Hard Fight
For Nomination.
BY RAYMOND CLAPPER
United Press Staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON. Jan. 3. U.P -
Forces behind Governor Franklin
d. Roosevelt of New York took the
lead in activity among Democrats
who lined up here today for the
party's 1882 presidential kickoff
It was indicated his forces will
stoutly combat efforts to block his
nomination and will carry the
fight into every primary state cx-
cept those of favorite sons.
They also have indicated a pref
erence for holding the Democratic
national convention in Kansas
City instead of Chicago. They
have opposed Democratic National
Chairman Raskob by urging that
the convention be held after the
Republicans meet instead OF be-
fore as advocated by Raskob.
Though handicapped by Roose-
velt's refusal to announce for
mally his candidacy, his friends
sought to advance his fortunes by
missionary work among Demo-
cratic leaders assembled for the
Jackson day dinner tonight and
the Democratic national commit
tee meeting tomorrow.
The first candidate to step out
to the rail is Governor Albert c.
Ritchic of Maryland. who an
nounccd his candidacy last night.
Speakers at the Jackson day
dinner tonight include former
Governor Alfred E. Smith of New
York, John w. Davis of West Vir-
ginia and James NJ. Cox of Ohio,
the three living Democratic ex-
candidates. Claude Bowers, key
noter at the 1923 Houston conven-
tion. will be POSTMASTER.
Smiths plans are buried in
sphinx-like silence. His speech to-
night will be watched for some
answer TO the riddle. Does Smith
hope to be candidate? Will he
support Roosevelt, or someone
else?
a nationwide poll of newspaper
editors by the Magazine Publish

president, in the belief of 305 edi-

MARRONS' TRIAL
SCHEDULED FOR
FEBRUARY 23RD

Daniel d and Mrs. Inez Marion
appeared before Judge Vaughn N.
Thompson in superior court today
to plead not guilty TO the murder
OF Alberto Garcia, former Mexican
rurales chief, on the Yuma
Calexico highway, December IL,
and heard their cases set for trial
February %.
M. w. Conkllng appeared in the
courtroom as defense attorney,
while Elmer w. Heald, district at
torney, assumed personal leader
ship of the prosecutions battle.
Edgar Hervey of San Diego,
associated with Conkling in de-
fcnse Of Mr.. and Mrs. Marion, has
not yet appeared in FL Centro in
connection with the case.
Marion is charged with firing a
load of shot into Garcia's back and
head as the former was driving to
Mexicali from San Luis. over the
Yuma -Calexico highway about
three miles west of Midway Wells.
Mrs. Marion piloted the car
while her husband concealed him
self in the rumble scat as his car
drove alongside that in which
Garcia was riding, according to
the story pieccd together by the
district attorneys office from con-
fcssions obtained from the two.
Ranching troubles In Mexico,
some distance from the interna-
tional border. are thought to have
been the underlying cause Of the
trouble between Garcia and
Marion.
1t was also reported that Garcia
was to be made chief of police In
Mcxicali and that Marion owns
two saloons there. III feeling be-
tween the two would have caused
trouble there. investigators believe.
Garcia was on his way to visit
the Mexican governor in MeXicali
when he was shot.
