fire siren was held back until the
Akron was nearer the city, when
the three blasts, repeated three
time, informed residents that their
chance to see the Akron had ar
rived.
In the meantime, the course of
the Akron had been changed to
the southwest, so that it passed
over the valley between Heber
and Calexico, the course being
shifted later to the northwest as
Commander Rosendahl apparently
headed for Eckener pass through
the mountains on his way to San
Diego.
Blowing of the fire siren was not
only a signal for the Akron's ar
rival, but was also the impetus
which sent hundreds of FL Cen
trans into the streets TO catch ~
sight of the big ship If the Akron
presented a novel sight to the
watchers, the latter in turn pre-
sented an equally novel sight to
any aboard the navy ship who were
equipped with field glasses. Early
morning styles as worn in Ell Gen.
tro were varied, not to say colorful,
and somewhat startling.
The course of the ship induced
many to drive south in the hope
of getting better view of the ship.
Several drove to the first turn this
side of Heber and from that point
the Akron seemed to be about two
miles further south and moving
rather slowly at height of nearly
1000 feet.
Many watched until it passed
from view headed for the mount
aims and San Diego.
The Press wishes to express its
sincere thanks to the telephone
company and its operators, to
Chief Reams and members of the
fire and police departments, the
cooperation of all being essential
in giving to the people of this COM
munity the news which many pre-
vious inquiries proved they wanted.

Ell CENTRIC RESIDENTS RISE
EARLY FOR GLIMPSE OF AKRON

Interest in the navy dirigible
Akron. which has been at high
pitch in Imperial Valley during the
past two days, reached it's climax
this morning when the big dirigible
passed over the southern end of
the valley about $50, enroute to
San Diego.
Through the cooperation of the
Southern California Telephone
company and the Ell Centro fire
department, The Press was per-
mitted to give a prearranged signal
on the fire siren, notifying those
interested THAT the Akron was
about to pass.
Late yesterday afternoon, advice
from El PaSo stated that the COM
mander of the Akron had advised
he would make no attempt to reach
that city until this morning, be-
cause of the storm. 1t was nearly
midnight when The Press received
Information from the telephone
company that the Akron had
lOuBllJ tlIOuBll Iilc SIOTIIl anu WdS
at Douglas, Ariz., being due in the
valley this morning.
At $40 this morning The Press
was informed by the telephone
company that the Yuma operator
had advised that the Akron had
left that city. In order to prevent
any over-enthusiastic Akron watch
ers giving false alarm, The Press
had arranged that it would pass
the information to the police de-
partment. which IN turn would
give the information TO Chief
Reams OF the fire department.
Only the police call would be rec
ognized by the fire department
and the police would await a sig
nal from The Press.
Shortly after $50 watchers on
top of the fire station picked up
the first glimpse of the Akron.
1t was mere spot in the sky and
appeared to be headed directly to-
ward El Centre. The signal on the

W.P) - Records extending back II
years were searched today in an
official investigation of three or
more deaths in which Public De-
fender Frank j. Egan or his wife,
Lorraine, were reported benefit
ciaries of estates, Coroner T. B. w.
Leland disclosed.
Doctor Leland said the inquiry
began as result of statements by
insurance officials that Egan, now
seriously i'll in a hospital, had ar
ranged a $4,000 policy on the life
of Mrs. Jessie Scott Hughes.
Mrs. Hughes, lifelong friend of
Egan, was found beaten to death
10 days ago.
Doctor Leland postponed an in
quest into Mrs. Hughes death
until after Egan RECEIVERS suffi-
GENTLY from the effects of a mys-
terious four-day disappearance to
attend as a witness. He said no
formal opinion on the case would
come from his office until that
time.
The coroner admitted his assist
ants and police are examining in
quest transcripts to find cases in
which the Egan family figured.
There were said to be three of
them, involving two women and q
man.
Meanwhile, Albert Tinnin, ex-
convict arrested during the Hughes
investigation, denied he had made
a confession involving Egan and
Vern Doran, another eX-convict
who is now sought.

BRUENING SAYS
GERMANY CANNOT

some nations still adhere to de-

Germany ever will be able to re-
sumo those payments" Chancellor
Heinrich Bruening told the reich
stag today
The chancellor's speech was the
most pointed pronouncement OF
Germany's policy of future nom
payment of reparations ever deliv-.
cred. although on several occasions
in the recent past Bruening said
plainly that Germany is unable to
pay.
Addressing a tense and expectant
reichstag, Bruening emphasized the
necessity for complete cancellation
of political debts
1.-The separation of nations into
debtors and creditors must cease in
order to effectuate international CO.
operation" he said. "Once this has
been achieved, every country will
be richer. I regret that this is
not the opinion of all the govern :
ments concerned"
Bruening appealed to foreign gov
ernments "to end the madness of
political debts before it is too late. y
He caused a commotion when he
hinted there had been secret con-
ferences between followers of Adolph
Hitler, the Fascist leader and for
eign politicians.
Deputies jumped to their feet,
Hitlerites roaring, and Catholics
and Socialists shouting, Hear,

Harrigan Expects
Light Shipments

If valley shippers hold to the
plan for shipping only melons of
first quality to the eastern market,
shipments will be much lighter
this year than last.
According to B. A. Harrigan, ag-
ricultural commissioner, the acre
age this year is considerably
smaller than last year. $4,000 acres
being planted to melons as COM
pared to $4,000 last year.
The recent winds, Harrigan
states, have damaged vines and
may result in a further decrease.
Harrigan stated that in his opin-
ion, with economic conditions as
they are, the eastern market will
be able to handle only $4,000 or
1900 cars of melons.
