SPEAK TONIGHT

United Press Staff Correspondent

NEW YORK, Oct. 11.-U.Pp-A
smashing, spectacular drive to win
New York and New England for
the Republicans and keep Herbert
Hoover in the White House was led
today by two men of widely differ
ing personalities-Calvin Coolidge
and William j. wild Bid Dono-
van, candidate for governor
The two will speak tonight in
Madison Square Garden. More
than $4,000 persons have sought the
81 900 available seats.
Coolidge, the Silent Cali of two
administrations, is the former
superior of Secretary of Commerce
Hoover. Donovan, a former assist
ant attorney general in the same
administration, was turned down
by President Hoover for cabinet
post, after leading a campaign for
Hoover.
In the present drive, Republicans
hope Coolidge will rally the conser-
vatives of the east, particularly,
around Hoover. They depend upon
Donovan to hold in line the war
veterans critical of the bonus army
eviction, and to win the votes of
some disaffected Alfred E. Smith
followers.
Colonel Donovan, who won his
nickname of wild Bill" serving
with the Rainbow Division as COM
mander of the Fighting Sixty
NINTH" opened his double headed
attack ON Franklin Roosevelt and
Herbert H. Lehman, the New York
Democratic Candidate for Cover
nor, last night,
Coolidge's address will be the
first public political speech the
former president has made since he
retired from the White House in
1929. Republican leaders are hope
full it will bring the campaign to a
turning point in the east. The ad-
dress will be broadcast starting
about 8:45 p. M, E. S. T.

Snow Falls In
Midwest Areas

CHICAGO, Oct. 11.-(U.P)-Scat-
tered snowfall overmidwest prair-
les and forests today heralded WIN
ter's approach.
Scattered reports of snow and
snow flurries came from several
states. In most cases the fall was
only light enough to spread a thin
blanket of white over the brown
fields.
The flurries approached as close
to Chicago as northwestern Illi-
nois and eastern Iowa. Flakes fell
also in Wisconsin, Minnesota and
the DakotaS.
Temperatures close to the freez-
ing point or below were general
throughout the midwest. AT Rapid
City, S. D., the temperature was IA
above zero.
Cold sleety rains fell over a wide
area. Storm warnings were posted
on the Great Lakes.

A deserving case which has been

Heretofore they could make
their way in the world. Both are

For obvious reasons their names

No large contributions are asked.
Money is essential to enable the

We believe our readers will be
willing to rest on the judgment of

WILBUR INFORMS COACHELLA
|OF Governments POSITION

Copies of a letter and memoran-
dun sent by Ray Lyman Wilbur,
secretary of interior, to DR.. Harry
w. Forbes of the Coachella Valley
Land Owners association and
leader of the opposition to Coach
ella inclusion in the All-American
canal project, recently were re-
ceived by the Imperial Irrigation
district board of directors.
The copies of the letter and
memorandum were read to direc-
tors in the regular weekly board
meeting this morning.
Secretary Wilbur asked that DR..
Forbes submit his views on specific
questions outlined in the memoir
andum.
The memorandum sent by the
secretary follows:
The Imperial Irrigation district
will be a more satisfactory debtor
if not required to include any
Coachella lands.
Elimination of the $10,000,000 ex-
ira capital cost required to reach
Coachella with water means re-
Imperial Valley press. (El Centro, Calif.) 1907-current, 1932-10-11

duction of about 80 per cent in
the governments outlay and the
districts corresponding obligations,
whereas eliminations of the entire
ultimate Coachella area of 10000
acres eliminates only about II per
cent of the governments poten-
tial security 100000 acres and
only about per cent of the pres
ent developed lands Q4,000 acres
as against about 100000 acres.
Among other expensive items
needed for Coachella are branch
canal over 100 miles long, and
heavier construction work through
the sand hills for the larger joint
canal from the point of diversion,
to the point where Coachella's
canal branches off.
The problem, therefore, is not
whether it is to the governments
interest to permit Imperial Irriga-
ton District to contract without
including the Coachella lands, for
the government and Imperial r.
rigation District would both be in
better position if rid of the I'M
dertaking to reach the isolated
Coachella area. The real question
is whether, if Imperial is released
of its present obligations to in
clude Coachella lands, the United
States would be justified in later
making separate contract with
the Coachella area, under which
that area would bear alone the en-
tire cost of the works necessary to
reach it. Below are some of the
hurdles:
/. The Coachella lands have no
present water right and if they get
one it will have to be by negotia-
ton with Imperial, from whose
canal they will take off.
2. To be adequate, the water
right obtained must come within
the first three priorities now en-
bodied in government regulations.
If postponed to numbers 6 or T.,
the water supply would be too I'M
certain to justify the investment
(priorities to include about
3850,000 acre feet; numbers 4 and
S, for Metropolitan Water District,
take an additional 1,100000)
3. Even if the new water agree
ment is adequate, it is neverthe-

REED LAUNCHES
BITTER ATTACK
ON PRESIDENT
Challenges Hoover State
ment On Danger To
Gold Standard.
BY GENE GILLETTE
United Press Staff Correspondent

United Press Staff Correspondent
DES MONIES, Iowa, Oct. IL
W.P}-Iowa's corn belt was in the
forefront of the 1892 political bat
tlefield today as voters considered
the fiery Democratic counter-a at
tack made by Former Senator
James A. Reed to President Hoo
ver's initial campaign address here
last week.
Reeds speech, devoted largely to
President Hoovers record on agri-
culture and citing the Republican
partys prosperity pledges of the
1928 campaign, was study in con-
trasts.
The vitriolic Missourian, an old
time foe of the President, labelled
Mr.. Hoover's declaration that the
country at one time was within
two weeks of being forced off the
gold standard as absolutely I'M
true"
The lean-figured Reed, account
ed one of the sharpest-tongued or
ators in his party, spoke from the
same platform in the old brick col
iseum where last week Mr.. Hoover
made his first personal plea for
reelection.
Disgruntled agriculturistS who
staged protest parade on the &C.
casion Of Mr.. Hoover's visit, throng-
ed the auditorium to cheer the
senator's caustic jibes.
Reed quoted the past record and
promises of Mr.. Hoover and the
Republican party as the scale on
which utterances of the present
campaign should be judged. He
took up Mr.. Hoover's Iowa address
point by point.
Ridicules Assertion
He ridiculed the Presidents as
sertion that he had fought the
most critical battles of the depres-
sion in private.
Quoting Mr.. Hoover's declaration
regarding the heavy foreign with
drawals of gold balances from the
United States and the boarding of
American citizens themselves. Reed
asserted there was not newspaper
in the country which did not pub
lish information on boarding and
Withdrawals day by day as they
occurred.
1--WE were never within $2,7O0,-
100000 of the lawful suspension of
gold payments" Reed said in an
swer to the Presidents statement
that the gold standard was threat
ened. He quoted Senator Garter
Glass of Virginia as authority for
his statements on the monetary sit
uation. R
He was bitter in criticism of Mr..
Hoover's arraignment of the DEM
ocratic public works construction
program as pork barrel legisla-
ton"

Because of the complete collapse
of the power lines, industry
throughout the valley yesterday
was at standstill, and this may
prove to be the worst damage
caused by the storm.
Repair gangs of the Southern
Sierras Power company worked
frantically all day yesterday to To-
cate and repair the breaks in the
main line from San Bernardino
and in the auxiliary line through
Rincon.
North End Hit Hard
Flooded conditions in the north
end of the valley, which bore the
brunt of the storm, hindered the
repairmen, who were forced to
abandon trucks because of the mud
and water, and proceed on foot.
During the morning an airplane
piloted by Warren Brockman of
CaleXico, was pressed into service
in locating the break on the Rim
con line, and later in the day a
California Air Transport plane
dropped food to the repairmen
marooned in the desert.
Railroad transportation was tied
up from Los Angeles, because of
high water flowing across the
tracks near Calipatria, the morn
ing train from Los Angeles not
arriving until early last night
The system was restored to normal
today. Early Sunday morning a
section of washed-out track on the
mainline between Yuma and Nj
land caused the wreck of the
Golden State limited. Several
cars were derailed but fortunately
there was only enc casualty, G. r.
Green, reported to have been steal
ing a ride, being injured so that
he required attention in a local
hospital. Traffic was routed over
the Inter- California line an
through Imperial Valley while re-
pairs were being made.
Stage travel was also interrupt
ed temporarily on the Los Angeles

CHICAGO, Oct. 11.-U.Py-The
international melodrama that has
followed the billion dollar crash of
the utilities kingdom of Samuel In
sull deepened today when the sha-
dowy figure of Sir Basil Zaharoff,
wealthy and mysterious Anglo
Greek financier, entered the pic
ture.
What part this latest revelation
will play in the complicated story
of the sensational collapse of the
house of insult in Americas great
est commercial failure was yet un-
known.
The naame of zaharoff entered
the widespread insult investigation
in a manner typical of the little
known European who has been
credited with being one Of the
half dozen wealthiest men in the
world.
While police were OBTAINING the
worn and aged insult in Athens,
Greece, where he had sought refuge
from criminal indictments returned
against him here, four coded cable
grams were placed before the Cook
county grand jury.
1t was thought possible Zaha-
roff's great influence. if exerted in
Insults behalf with the Greek gov
eminent, might enable the Chica-
goan to delay or avoid extradition
from the Mediterranean country
Whether an appeal was made to
zaharoff, however, was not re-
vealed
Solution of the cryptograms, first
by newspapermen and later by the
sender, linked the name of zaha-
rolf to the insult investigation.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 7.-<U.P)-
The collapse of the insult utility
empire last April was cited before
the public utilities section of the
American Bar association here to-
day as a prime reason for govern
mental regulation of utility hold
ing companies.
The citation was made by COM
missioner David E. Lillenthal of
the Wisconsin public service COM
mission without mentioning the In
sull organization by name. He left
no doubt as to his reference, how
ever, when he said:
1.-THE collapse of colossal hold
ing company las hprn has done
more to harm the repute of hold
ing companies and TO public utility
credit in the eyes of investors than
all the orders and Investigations OF
the commissions put together.
