surance act, and to training and en-
ployment under the vocational rehabili-
tation act
During my service as chief of staff
was the center of series of attacks
which came into the open innocently
enough because I would not reply tc
letters addressed to me by Senators and
Representatives on matters pertaining
to the war unless the subject matter OF
the letters was such that ! was the
only person who could make the reply
and the writer was entitled to the in
formation. My aides answered personal
letters as far as possible.
The first attack came when Mai. J.
NJ. Swing, an aide, answered a letter
from Representative Gallivan, Demo
crat, Massachusetts. Mr.. Gallivan rose
in the House and complained bitterly
that he had written me and had been
ignored, that reply had been received
from my aide He enlivened his re-
marks by comments upon my appear
ance.
Baker Protests to Gallivan.
As Gallvan was Of Secretary Bakers
party. took the matter up with the
Secretary and pointed out the injustice
Of Mr.. Gallivan attacking Maj Swing
subordinate. who was only carrying
out his orders. The Secretary wrote
Mr.. Gallivan. reciting the facts, and
pointing out the improperly of his at
orders. This spurred Gallivan 10 re-
neved attacks, which were then di-
rected TO me. He went from bad tc
worse, finally making field day of his
comments on the wicked chief of staff

This effort met with replies from all
over the House, defending me.
An anti-March cabal was formed In

whose requests for favors had beer

favors were granted any one.

During this period, Brig Gen. Herbert

Wolf Is Most Valuable
Of Fur-Bearing Animals

OTTAWA. Ontario.-The most hated
of Canada's predatory animals is the
wolf. Yet from the trapper's point of
view he is one of the most valuable of
fur-bearing animals His pelt Is worth
three times that of a moose and six
times that OF deer. He is, to the
trapper, worth more than the bear,
white. black or brown.
As matter Of fact, a wolf pelt is
worth more than the mink or the rae
coon, the skunk, wildcat or the cougar
Although lower than it has been for
years, the last market price reported
to the Bureau of Statistics was around
$14 and the skunk only $120.
Whether in number he is diminishing
or not Is debatable oue1tion. although
it is true that the timber wolf catch OF
more than 1000 last year was only
about half that of two years before
and the prairie wolf take Of more than
$1,000 was less than half.
The catch OF wolves In the season
1928-29 IS recorded at 64898, including
coyotes. In the following year the
catch was reported to be 40,209 and
last year 28,523.

among his fellow workers and to pro-
mote fake sickness and injury, prac-
tice known as malingering.
Legislation throughout the United
States has been constantly and power
fully directed, first. toward increasing
! the weekly compensation guaranteed to
workers for sickness and injury under
| the various workmen's compensation
acts: second, toward including under
| these acts compensation for "occupa-
! tional diseases" and, third. toward in
cluding not only occupational diseases
but compensation for all sickness from
whatever cause.
Fake Sickness Develops.
Since the entire expense Is thus
borne by the employer or the insurance
company which he pays to assume the
liability, and since the entire profit goes
to the worker, every inducement Is thus
held out to the latter to develop as
much sickness as possible. Indeed, the
tendency to develop fake sickness and
| injury has grown to such an alarming
| extent that many life insurance com
| panies within recent months have dis
their future policies.
| Now. the plan Of the mutual benefit
associations is to preserve al! the bene-
| fits to the worker designed by these
compensation acts. but to reverse the
entire drive Of his psychology.
By enlisting the interest OF both the
employer and employe and stimulating
private initiative toward health i'm
provement, 1t is believed that the ad-
ministration of this whole field OF in
dustrial health can be greatly improved
The plan is very simple. Its main
provisions:
l. Sickness insurance equaling two
thirds of the weekly wage, to run 26
weeks beginning at the end OF the
seventh day. and one-hah pay Tor an
additional 26 weeks.
2. Life insurance equal to one and
one-half times an employees yearly sal
airy, payable in case OF death or total
disability, to be paid in weekly install
ments rather than in lump sum.
3. Health service to include an an
nual physical examination, the findings
to be held strictly confidential between
examiner and employe: the employe to
receive a report on the examiners find
| tnGS ana dQVlC6 dS 10 Wlldt llC o4iOdAo
do to keep himself physically fit. The
selection Of the examiner and arrange
ments for the examination should pre-
ferably be made by the workers them
selves.
Abundant experience has brought out
clearly the following benefits OF this
plan:
First, while the actual cost Of the in
surance depends on the average age. the
average cost is roughly $40 year per
81 600 of life insurance and 50 year
for each $40 a week of health and acci-
dent insurance The cost OF the health
service is IS year for each employe.
Second the mutual benefit fund Is
provided through the contribution OF
| the employer to the Mutual Benent AS
sociation treasury Of Is per cent OF the
nav roll of those who join, and like
contribution of Is per cent OF wages by
the members.
Third, under this plan the employe
receives so much more for his money
than he can In any other way that ne
cannot afford to stay out. However, all
membership Is purely voluntary.
AS an example Of the cost and bene-
fits, take man 40 years old earning

The problem was placed squarely
up to the people and officials
equally in addresses before the

budgetary conditions was made
and suggestions for improvement
given.
A. G. Hardison, president of the

SITUATION AT
BARD REPORTED
MUCH IMPROVED

Through the cooperation of the
Imperial county board of super
visors, the Red Cross and interest
ed individuals the unfortunate sit
uation Of several families in the
isolated Bard area is believed to
have been relieved to such an ex-
tent that no further contributions
will be necessary.
A local organization volunteered
to provide the necessary food for
several families found to be in des-
perate circumstances, residents of
valley communities contributed
quantities of clothing and shoes
and the supervisors employed Bard
men in road building crews.
Gardens planted and cultivated
by Bard families under the direc-
ton of the Red Cross and the
farm bureau are coming into pro-
duction and will provide food for
months. Spring work soon will be
available, also.
More than 200 garments for
children and large supply of
shoes were taken to Bard yester-
day as were a sufficient supply of
sugar, beans, milk, coffee, tomatoes
and ground meat.
Mr.. and Mrs. M. V. Goudie and
A. Ross of Bard area are working
with local organizations in distri-
button of materials and in inter-
viewing needy families.
THE desperation situation in the
Bard area" said representative of
local relief agency today, has
been one of the most difficult prob
lens this winter. The isolated
place necessitated a 80 mile drive
twice week and little was known
of the conditions there. The suf-
fering was acute, especially among
the children. 1t is a great sat
isfaction to local relief agencies to
announce that there will be no fur
ther need of intensive relief in that

CALF STEALERS
DECLARED GUILTY
OF GRAND THEFT

Two men were found guilty of
grand theft and one not guilty of
child stealing by juries in Judge
A. c. Finney's court yesterday af-
ternoon, after one jury had delib-
Grated since Tuesday night and the
other scarcely more than an hour.
Joe Vargas and Francisco Hol-
guin were declared guilty OF steal
ing a calf from rancher living
near Brawley, after the jury had
deliberated many hours. Circum-
stances surrounding the case caused
a recommendation with the verdict
that Vargas and Holguin be treated
with leniency.
The two, with Joe Sanchez, were
charged with stealing a calf from
a field, butchering it, and using
the meat for their own consump-
ton. Sanchez pleaded guilty and
applied for probation. Sentence
will be passed on Vargas and Hol-
gum Friday.
1t took scarcely more than an
hour of deliberation yesterday af-
ternoon for a jury to find Alfredo
Martinez not guilty of kidnapping
tWo-year-old Gloria Lopez from the
home of her parents in Ell Centro.
Martinez was arrested on the
night of the asserted act after he
had wrecked his car on the Dog
wood road south of Brawley. Rep
resented by Alfred Blaisdell, Mar
tinez offered as his defense the
theory he merely took the girl for
a ride, after a party, and wrecked
his car before he could return to
