G. 0. P. STALWARTS
IN CONGRESS LOSE
TO DEMOCRAT FOES
Smoot, Watson, Moses, Bing-
ham, LaCuardia and Pratt
Among Casualties

Washington, Nov. 9.-(P)-Mowing
down their opponents on many
fronts, the Democrats Wednesday
were in complete control OF the 73rd
congress.
The tidal wave of votes that swept
Franklin D. Roosevelt into the presi-
dents chair also gave him Demo-
cratic dominated national assembly
with which to work.
Stalwart Republican senate leaders
were douned to give the Democrats
seats necessary to place them in
command of that branch. Nine Re-
publican seats had been seized at an
early hour Wednesday and Demo-
Gratis were leading in four others.
Tt bare majority by which the
Democrats held the present house
was swelled by more than a score of
victories in Republican territory, and
incomplete returns from many dis
tricts indicating a possible Demo-
cratic majority of between so and 100.
Five Republican senators. Dale of
Vermont, Norbeck of South Dakota,
Steiwer of Oregon, Davis of Penn
sylvania and Nye of North Dakota
were reelected.
Colorful figures in both branches
went down in defeat. Senators
Smoot of Utah, Watson OF Indiana,
Moses of New Hampshire, Bingham
of Connecticut and Glenn of Illinois
were among the Republican casual
ties. Representatives LaGuardia and
Ruth Baker Pratt, both New York
Republicans, also fell.
OF the 81 senatorial contests, the
Democrats had won % and were
leading in four states. William Gibbs
McAdoo was victorious in a three
cornered California race and Louis r..
Murphy won in a like contest in
Iowa, President Hoover's birthplace.
The nine states in which the DEM
ocrats seized senate seats were In
diana, Illinois, New Hampshire, Con-
necticut, New Jersey, Wisconsin,
Utah, California and Iowa.
Not one Democratic incumbent was
ousted in the senate races on the
basis of returns so far available. In
Connecticut, however. there was one
Democratic seat that returned to the
Republican column. On the other
hand, the Democrats had captured
around 30 Republican house seats.
With 81 holdovers and 81 addition
al seats already in their column, the
Democrats were assured of So sena-
tors in the next congress. Forty-nine
is necessary for majority Of the &C.
The Democrats swept Missouri's Is
house seats, all of which were elect
ed at large. They had picked up two
in Connecticut, four each In Mis-
souri,, New York and Pennsylvania,
one each in Rhode Island, Virginia,
South Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma and
Illinois, on the basis Of incomplete
returns.
Former Senator James w. Wads-
worth, Republican, was elected to the
house from the seth New York dis
trict. Cornelius Vanderbilt Whitney.
wealthy Democrat, was defeated in
the first New York district by the
incumbent, Representative Robert L.
Bacon.
Speaker John N. Garner was elect
ed from the 18th Texas district but
plans to resign from the seat when
he becomes vice president on March I.

SALVATION ARMY
NEEDS FURNITURE
TO HELP FAMILY

Captain King, of the Salvation
Army. reports need of assistance
for family of five, including
three small children, who are in
dire need of many necessities but
particularly of furniture-a bed
with mattress and quilts. table,
chairs, wood stove, and a few
other household goods.
The family also needs food and
clothing, but the captain states the
Army can take care of these needs
They have been sleeping on the
bare floor, which may be all right
in summer, but is dangerous to the
health at this time of the year.
Any persons having abandoned
furniture which they may have
stored away, are asked to call the

will respond to pick up any ar
ticles.

BUCKLIN FAVORS
JUDGE FINNEY IN
COMING ELECTION

In an interview today, A. N.
Bucklin, former mayor and pres
ent councilman of Ell Centro, ex-
pressed the opinion that Judge Fin
ney would be reelected judge of the
superior court. He said Judge Fin
neys record is an enviable one not
only as a jurist but also as legis-
lator. The Finney Resolution, which
was passed by him in the 1925 ses-
sion of the legislature, made Cali
fornia's approval of the Colorado
river compact contingent upon leg
islation by congress authorizing
the construction of the dam at
Boulder Canyon and undoubtedly
forced the several upper basin
states to support the legislation III
order to protect their own water
supply. This made its passage pos
sible in congress.
Judge Finney is entitled to great
credit for that service from the
people of Imperial Valley" Buck
lin said within five or six years,
on account of the construction of
the dam, and without cost to our
people, we shall be enjoying the
benefits Of a controlled water sup
ply adequate for all pun poses, and
the fear of drought or flood will be
thing of the past.
Judge Finney's record is equal
ly good as jurist His decisions
have been fair and Just and sell
dom overruled. The opponents of
the Imperial Irrigation District call
him a district man. 1t is not true
that he is controlled by the dis
riot. He is absolutely independent
and uncontrolled by any person,
clique or organization. He neither
favors the district nor discrimin-
ates against its critics or oppon-
ents. This was clearly shown bv
his prompt issue of an order re-
quiring the district to deliver wa
ter to the plaintiff for domestic
use in the case of Mrs. Sessions
against the district, and his public
announcement in that same case
that he would require the district to
deliver stock and domestic water tc
all farmers, even though their taxes
were delinquent and their tolls un-
paid. Many farmers are receiving
water now under that very order.
Judge Finney deserves reelection
on his merits

HEATH FUNERAL
RITES WILL Be
HELD TOMORROW

Last rites for Robert Heath, 72,
who died at the county hospital
yesterday morning, will be con-
Quoted from the Arnold Funeral
home here at o'clock Friday af-
ternoon. Interment will take place
at Mountain View cemetery.
v. E. Butterworth, pastor of the
State Street Christian church, will
officiate.
He was born in Arkansas but
had made his home in Imperial
Valley for the last II years. He
engaged in buying and selling of
cattle and as a dealer was widely
known among ranchers and cat
tlemen as well as among business
and professional men.
Heath had been in poor health
for more than year, suffering
from rheumatism. He was admit
ted to the county hospital on June
%, as there were no members of
his family here to care for him
during his illness.
After being associated with the
Hill brothers in the cattle busi-
ness for number of years, Heath
entered business for himself and
was considered one of the most
successful in that line of endeavor
Generosity and kindness to
friends and relatives were among
his outstanding characteristics and
endeared him to large numbers of
valley residents.

PRESS FUND FOR
COUPLE REQUIRES
LITTLE MORE AID

Encouraging indeed has been the
response of Press readers to the
appeal made IN Tuesdays issue for
assistance in behalf of a worthy
local couple who have fallen into
misfortune through no fault of
their own.
Donations of money have been
received yesterday and today, and
in each case the request has been
made that no mention be made of
tn donors name. Nor has any re-
quest for additional information
been made. The Press feels high
ly honored that our readers trust
our judgment to this extent.
Those who have not yet found
the time or the means to donate,
are assured that there is still need
for their assistance.
This couple is smack up against
it. They have done their bit in
the past to help others and now
they are in the same fix them
selves. We know personally of
their contributions to other worthy
causes which have come to our at
tention in the past 10 years.
We ask no large contributions
and in fact prefer small ones, for
in that way more persons can
share in giving helping held.
Whatever the reader feels he can
afford to donate, we ask that it be
sent in. Checks will be highly ac-
ceptable for The Press will cash
them and turn the proceeds into
the fund, as we feel more good
can be accomplished by keeping
the identity of the needy persons
unknown.
We realize that we are asking
considerable in requesting our
readers to shoot in the dark" with
us, but the fact that so many
have thus far trusted us, encour-
ages us to believe that many more
will.
Whatever you can afford, bring
or send it in to

Trojan Grid Star
Fancy Linguist

LOS ANGELES, Oct. 13.-U.P)-
Mitchell (Mike) Francovich should
be quarterback of some such inter-
national football team as Notre
Dame. AT present he barks signals
for the University of California, at
Los Angeles.
Mike, 81, native of Arizona, and
half Serbian, speaks German, Ital-
ian, Serbian, Spanish and English.
The only handicap to Mixes pow
erful speech is that his teammates
speak only English.
The quarterback also is a fine
sleight-o of hand artist, and his
huge hands can palm a football
almost as well as a deck of cards.
Still a sophomore, Mike was such
an excellent student that he was
offered scholarships at both Har-
ward and Cornell. He plans to at
tend the School of Diplomacy, at
Washington, d. c., upon his grau-
uation.

Woman Injured
In Auto Crash

A woman was slightly injured
and two automobiles badly damaged
in a collision at Sixth and Main
streets this morning, involving
Charles A. Prettyman OF San Di-
ego and Enoch Young, Negro; of Ell
Centro, as the drivers.
Blame for the accident, accord
ing to police, rests largely upon
Young, who attempted to make a
left turn north on Sixth street in
the path of Prettyman's automo-
bile, which was travelling west on
State street.
Prettymans automobile struck
Young's car almost head ON. Mrs
Mildred Prettyman was thrown in
TO the windshield. Sne suffered
cuts on her head and face, but was
not seriously injured.

JAIL POPULATION
SHOWS LEAD FOR
WHITE PRISONERS

Much the same as the old lady in
the shoe might have checked up
on her family of urchins, Jailer Ed
de Nett today eon.P:eted a survey
of the 80 inhabitants of his particu-
lar domain, the imperial county
Jail.
Beginning with simple arithme-
tic, Nett discovered that there are
81 prisoners coming under the fed
eral and immigration class, and So
under the cour-5 quota.
OF the federal and immigration
prisoners, three are Americans, one
a Japanese and % Mexicans. Coun-
ty prisoners include 80 Americans,
IL Mexicans, seven Negroes, one
Filipino and one Italian. It is un-
usual, according to the jailer, that
the majority of county prisoners
are of the Caucasian race
Fifteen of the federal and i'm
migration prisoners are serving
terms of from two months to one
year and II are awaiting trial The
county prisoners include SO who
are serving sentences, 10 awaiting
trial, and one, Joe Hatfield, held
as a witness in a criminal trial
pending his return to San Quen-
tin prison.
Crime apparently is to be found
more in the masculine than in the
feminine population of Imperial
county, for only four women are
held at the jail, two as immigration
prisoners and two on county char
ges. One Of the Mexican women
held as an immigration prisoner is
serving time and another await
ing trial. The same - ;rue of the
two white women, one is serving
time and the other awaiting trial.
