It does not look as if in the following hand any great harm would be done by leading trump. but still the pair that received top score in the duplicate contest where this hand was played did not lead trump at once.

CABINET OFFICER
SAYS AIR TRUST
NOT DESIRABLE

WASHINGTON, March %. U.P)-
Though present consolidation of air
lines is due TO natural economic
law rather than TO an attempt to
establish trust, it is important
from the standpoint of air mail,
that transcontinental lines be kept
independent of each other, Post
master General Brown told the
house post office committee today.
The same thing is happening to
air lines that happened to the rail-
ways, but more rapidly" said
Brown.
Brown told the committee that
there still are some bridges to be
capped before the country has a
complete air mail service.
Asked what attitude the depart
ment would take in the event E. L.
Cord, who is having labor troubles
with pilots, should take over the
American Airways, Brown said that
the department always had stood
for proper compensation of flying
personnel. He added that he did
not believe the rumor that Cord
would acquire the line.
Questioned further, Brown said
that with the exception of a line
from Atlanta to Los Angeles, which

Whittier College
Singers Coming

The enthusiasm and energy of
college singers is well known to
those who have an interest in
things musical, and it is these out
standing attributes which make
programs by college men outstand-
ing as a means of entertainment.
They are present in the work of
the Whittier College mems glee
club which will be heard here Fri
day night under the auspices of the
FL Centro Rotary club.
This chorus of 25 male voices,
which has been highly praised by
organizations throughout the SOUTH
land for whom it has sung, is now
on a tour during the Easter vaca-
ton and comes to El Centro with
a flattering record behind it.
In addition to a splendid pro-
gram of secular, sacred and college
songs, the club offers Robert Farm
ham, tenor, and Gordon Berger,
baritone, in solo numbers and Jesse
Marland, in accordion numbers.
Tickets for the concert may be
obtained from members of the Ro-
tary committee, at local drug stores
or at the Press office.

Speeding up the number of wit
nesses called within a given time,
the state today was swinging into
the midst of its evidence in trial
of Lewis Hart and eight other Los
Angeles business men on charges
of grand theft, criminal conspiracy
to violate the corporate securities

Imperial Valley during the sum-
mer Of 1890.
Two states witnesses were on the
stand this morning. One was Carl
Vogt and the other Mrs. Jesse Hoyt
Hatch, former librarian in Imperial.
Both are named III the grand jury
indictment as purchasers of stock
from the defendants.
Vogt was recalled to the witness
stand, having testified yesterday
afternoon. His testimony followed
that of Earl Cayanah, and came
after Judge Arthur l.. Mundo sus-
tanned an objection to testimony
of Anna Strickler, made on the
grounds she was not named in the
indictment as a purchaser of stock,
and could not be called until those
whose names were listed had teSti-
fled.
In order to avoid unnecessary eX-
pense, District Attorney Elmer w.
Heald and his deputies have ar
ranged for witnesses to be present
in the court house only on the day
they will be called to the witness
stand
Direct examination Of Mrs. Hatch

Daily Report Of
Stock Markets

LOS ANGELES, March %. U.R>--
The market was irregular as trad
ing became inactive on the Los An
geles stock exchange today. During
the morning session only eight is
sues were chalked up on the board.
Pacific Western was the most ac-
tive, selling 100 shares at 4, down
u: Standard Oil sold 200 shares
at 25, unchanged; Union Associates
sold 100 shares at 11$s, up Il; Rich
field preferred dropped Is to q
on sales of 100 shares
Transamerica declined X to 37s
on sales of 400 shares.
NEW YORK, March %. UP
Stocks moved irregularly lower to-
day in a session which provided
little of interest on either side of
the market. Trading was ex-
tremely light, volume being well
under the million share mark at
level prevalent back in 1924 before
the bull swing developed.
Shorts were reticent about max
ing commitments pending an
nouncement or response of broker
age clients to the ruling effective
April l that all customers must
give brokers special permission to
lend their stocks to short sellers.
There were several weak spots
in the general market Proctor &
Gamble crashed 4 points to new
low at 33. Kreuger & Toll equaled
it's low record at 81 a share on
volume that comprised about IL
per cent of all the market trans
actions. General Motors dipped
late in the day after early firm
ness. Bethlehem Steel preferred
made a new low and then rallied,
while United States Steel pre-
ferred made a new low for the
year.
Railroad shares slipped back
late in the day. Utilities also were
mostly lower. Industrial leaders
eased off fractionally. Gasoline
stocks and crude oil production in
creased in the week ended March
19, an unfavorable factor for the
shares

None Injured In
Freak Accident

What Frank Oswalt, California
highway patrol captain, termed
the queerest accident he ever wit
messed happened late yesterday
afternoon on the San Diego high
way two miles east of Mountain
Springs, when a trailer loaded with
pilings for construction work over
turned.
The name of the truck driver
could not be learned. He was driv-
ing east when the load on his
trailer began to settle. The driver
stopped to adjust the load.
After the truck and trailer had
stopped. the settling load caused
the trailer to overturn. Its wheels
in the air, the trailer rested on top
of the load. The chains holding
the pilings to the trailer were not
even broken. No damage was done,
and no one was injured.

Scenes of Destruction
One trip took us past leveled
telephone and telegraph lines, along
roads strewp with debris, block here
and there by fallen trees. A flash
light that flickered and blinked
among the ruins of crumbled homes
revealed the dead.
Farther up the road We were
blocked by splintered, jumbled
timbers of what had been home,
lifted in air and dropped in a heap
in our path.
And a few moments later we met
a weeping father, carrying a cry
ing baby. The father sought his
wife, missing in the storm, and
later found dead.
We came upon another man who
had thrown heavy overcoat over
his shoulders and stood gazing sill
emily at ruins of what had been
his home He was former Sheriff
j. L. Gore of Chiffon county, liy-
ing at Union Grove where not a
home was left standing, where only
one family, the Gore family, was
spared death.
At one place I saw rs homes
sprayed over the countryside as if
brushed by a huge broom.
Another section was cut as

Bakers Dozen OF
Chinese Arrested

There are no hurrahs when immi-

ese are Coming" as they did this
morning just prior to arreSting 13
of the Orientals on charges of il
legal entry into the United States.
The Chinese evidently were COM
ing, and in force, for the entire 13
were in one group. They apparent
ly had just crossed the interna-
tional border when immigration
officers placed them under arrest.
1t seemed like a Mukden often
sive to the officers, but the invad-
ers were taken into custody, and
brought to immigration headquar-
ters in Ell Centre, from where they
were to be taken to the county Jail.
A Jail sentence and deportation,
after trial in the San Diego federal
court, will add considerable force
to the Chinese army now engaged
in nearly ended war, the Amer
lean officers commented.
