DAVILA IN MASS
ARRESTS in CHILE
NJ ov e m e n t
Grows; Air Service
RevoltS

Over 500 Communists were arrested
in Chile last Friday and Saturday
following the return of Carlos Davila
as head of the two weeks old fascist
militarist dictatorship. Mass arrests
are continuing.
Colonel Groves was ouSted as head
of the dictatorship on the grounds
that he had not proceeded sharply
enough against the revolutionary
workers and peasants. The Davila
faction has pledged itself to the i'm
perialists to crush the rising revolu-
tionary movement led by the Chilean
Communist Party. The ousting of
Groves and the mass arrests of revo-
lutionary workers was followed by a
tremendous upsurge of mass rcvolu-
tionary activity throughout Chile.
Railway workers at once went out on
strike. Trains between Santiago and
Valparaiso are being operated by
scabs under heavy military protec-
ton. Huge hostile demonstrations
have occurred in Santiago and other
cities. In Santiago, street car service
was stopped by the employees, sup
ported by the revolutionary workers
in the city, Several cars were over
turned.
The Chilean air force has joined
the new revolt against the Davila
military junta. Rebel planes have
detained the destroyer on which
Groves and several Communist lead
ers were being shipped to the horrible
island prison of Juan Fernandez.
The rebel planes have taken control
of the Quintero airdrome, near VAL
paraiso, without resistance from the
navy. Mechanics, armed by the rebel
aviators. are reported in control of
FL Bosque airport. near Santiago.
The streets of Santiago and the pal
ace are heavily guarded by troops
loyal to the military junta headed by
Davila, former Chilean Ambassador
to the United States and tool of
Wall Street.
The struggle between the Davila
and Grove factions reflects the bitter
struggle between American and Brit
ish imperialism for economic control
of Latin America. Grove during his
short stay in power had played with
a program hostile to the Cosach nj
trates combine, a concern controlled
by Wall Street. He was suspected of
antagonism to American financial in
terests and sympathy with British
interests.

GLOVERSVILLE, N. \

GLOVERSVILLE, N. Y.
June 10. = Yesterday for the
first time in the history'of this
little city, which takes its name from
its main industry, the program and
even the name of the Communist
Party rang through the streets as
several hundred workers heard and
applauded James w. Ford.
The mayor and chief of police
were taken aback when they heard
the demand for permit for Com
munist election rally. They finally
consented, apparently with the in
tention of breaking up the meeting
itself, and hoping that the workers
of Gloversville, poisoned by capitalist
propaganda, would refuse to listen TO
a Negro Communist candidate for
vice president of the United States.
But the workers of Gloversville, and
couple of hundred from the nearby
city of Johnstown, gathered on the
curb of Blocker Square as the meet
ing opened.
Couldn't Smash Meeting.
Hoodlums and police united in a
vain effort to smash the meeting.
The crowd refused to be inundated.
Several rotten eggs and tomatoes
were hurled at the speakers plat
form by little gangs, who operated
right under the eyes of the police.
Then, when Ford was introduced,
the police tried to stop the meeting
on the grounds of mo permit" They
ordered the crowd to leave and the
crowd stood fast. The police cap
tain telephoned this to his superiors.
and they yielded. The meeting went
on for an hour, and, at the close, the
worker audience beat up the gang
sters who had been throwing toma-
toes.
Ford was loudly cheered especially
when the meeting continued after
the police tried to stop it,

OLSONS MAY
GET LIBERTY

LOS ANGELES, Dec. 13. UP
Libbie Olson and her husband, AL
bert, middle aged couple, today sud-
denly faced complete freedom in
stead of life terms in prison for
murder.
The overnight change occurred
after the Olsons were granted a
new trial before three judges on
the charge of numbering Charles
Scull, their wealthy benefactor.
Previously, Superior Judge Isaac
Pacht had pronounced them guilty
at a trial without Jury. He re-
quested two other judges to sit with
him to hear the plea for new trial
The re-trial was granted, and al
though Judge Pacht refused a mo-
ton to dismiss the case, Deputy
District Attorney George Johnson
said the case probably would be
dismissed unless new evidence was
found
Scull was shot two months ago,
at a time when he had become in
terested in a young woman. The
state contended at the trial that
the attachment threatened Mrs. Oh
sons sizeable bequest in Scull's will.

And Verifying Tales Of Early Settlers
That SnoW Fell Here Before

Imperial Valley awoke this morning to look out
upon it's roofs and fields covered with heavy blan
ket of snow which began falling at 8:20 last night
and came down throughout the night in light flakes
until official figures this morning showed slightly
more than four inches had fallen
Pioneer residents declared the phenomenal fall Of
snow in Imperial Valley is without precedent, recall
ing only one other time, in 1901 1902, when the
snow settled to the ground and remained there.
Business went on as usual, except at BraWley,
where telephone service delayed for short while
last night when main power line went out. Coun-
try roads sloppy, but they were made so by the
steady rain of yesterday which preceded the snow.
Many shade trees in the valley fitted rather to
snowless climate, lost branches which snapped under
the weight Of snow gathered on the foliage. Pepper
trees were the greatest sufferers.
Of crop damage there none, but weather Of
ficials and farm experts agreed today that contn
ued absence Of rain and wind coupled with lifting
of the clouds, will bring killing frost tonight In
this event there may be much damage to the citrus
crop.

EXPECT SNOW
OVER NATION
Low Temperature Marks Made
In Widely Scattered Areas
Throughout Country.

A gentle fall Of snow was eX-
pected over most of the northern
part of the county today to end the
iron bond of sub-zero temperatures
that has brought suffering to most
of the nation.
The relief from cold came after
widely scattered cities, principally
in the midwest, Rocky Mountains
and on the Pacific coast, reported
record low temperatures.
A blizzard spread damage and
privation over Southern California
and neighboring states. Two hund-
red motorists were trapped in the
San Bernardino mountains by the
worst storm in years. They were
finally released after an 18 hour
battle to open roads.
The Mojave desert was snow
covered for the first time in do
zen years. A terrific wind swept
across the flat country, piling the
snow in huge drifts. Two duck hun
ters were feared lost on Salton
Sea. Airplanes failed in hunt to
locate the men.
Air traffic in the west was badly
disrupted by the storm. The first
snowfall in Imperial Valley since
1902 was recorded. A tWo-inch fall
was measured in Ell Centro and the
surrounding territory.
In northern Arizona Indians on
Hopi and Navajo reservations were
endangered when billiards. blocked
roads and cut them off from COM
munications. Fourteen inches Of
snow was reported at the Painted
Desert reservation.
Denver was released from SUB
zero temperatures after 90 hours
when the thermometer held steady
below the zero mark. 1t was the
longest siege of sub-zero weather
on record in the city. Two deaths
were attributed to the cold wave
in Colorado.
San Francisco had its coolest De-
cember day on record.
The bitter cold extended into the
midwest where marks of 20 below
or more were frequent throughout
Minnesota, Iowa and the Dakotas.
Downstate Illinois had numerous
sub-zero recordings. The thermo-
meter sank close to the zero point
in Chicago but the city's two-year
record of above zero weather was
not broken. One additional death
due to the cold was reported at
Chicago. Emergency relief shelters
were thronged with homeless men

Leave it to the old timers of the
valley to disagree. They're a hardy
bunch and they certainly stick by
their opinions.
Take the question of the only
snowstorm prior to last nights.
There are as many opinions on the
date as there are feathers on a
duck. The Press tried today to
get something definite on the date
of the previous snowstorm and
found plenty of fun doing it.

But we want it understood here
and now that we are not entering

of the snow. Each old-timer is en-

are not going to make any attempt

WATER GRAF 7
HIT BY STORM

SAN PEDRO, Dec. 13. U.P) = A
high northwest wind which reach
ed a maximum velocity of Al miles
an hour last night, damaged small
craft, wharves and naval tenders,
a check-up showed today.
The schooner Carma, on which
the Walter Wanderwell party
planned a world cruise, was saved
from damage by coast guard cut
ters after the craft dragged its
anchor and was in danger of going
ashore.
Approximately 25 small craft,
mostly rowboats, were beached,
and Is we're total wrecks. Three
navy barges broke loose and
pounded away 100 feet of the pier
near Cabrillo Beach. A naval tar
get raft also was damaged when
it was washed against the break
water.
The fishing boats Silver Wave
and Progress broke lose from their
anchorage in the outer harbor last
night, and after colliding with the
schooner Jubilo, owned by Jimmy
Dixon of Los Angeles, and the yawl
Idler, owned by John d. Farnham
of Long Beach, all four craft went
ashore below Fort Macarthur. They
were refloated, with minor damage,
at high tide this morning.

No HOPE FOR
MISSING MEN
Weather Handicaps Search For
Pair OF Hunters Reported Lost
At Salton Sea.

Freezing weather and low hang
ing clouds today cast a blight on
the meagre hope that U. H. Tat
man and r. S. Mcdowell, Los An
geleS business men, which have
survived the three days which have
passed since they left Sea View
beach on the Salton Sea for a
hunting trip.
Undersheriff Rodney Clarke and
Harold Gillett, deputy, returned
last night from another fruitless
hunt for the two men whose small
boat was caught when the wind
arose suddenly about two hours
after dawn.
Two air planes, one from CaleXico
and another from the Marine camp
at Yuha Wells, were ready to take
up the search today, but there was
some doubt that the planes would
be able to take to the air unless the
clouds clear up.
Tatman and Mcdowell left Sea
View beach about dawn Saturday
in small boat they rented from
the Sea View service station. Since
then no trace of them has been
found. About two hours after they
put out from shore a heavy wind
came up. Soon waves were running
at least five feet high, and treach-
erous cross currents had set in.
Hope was expressed yesterday
that the men, in their small boat,
had drifted across the sea and
were stranded in the sloughs on
the east shore, but even this hope
was abandoned today. Even in case
they made shore, the extreme cold
and exposure might cause their
deaths.
Undersheriff Clarke and Gillett
were unable yesterday to take to
the water. The waves were so tur-
bulent that any venture from shore
would be exceedingly dangerous.
There are few boats at the sea
which could survive the buffeting
Of the waves and wind.
