to bring about the project. He said
it would cost between S3,000,000 and
$5 100000 and employ 5000 men
annually.
LOS Angeles harbor is ideal for
such a navy yard" the admiral
said. 1.-THE try docks could be built
in the west channel and it should
be the largest navy yard on the
Pacific coast"

project to the navy department and
urged local officials to enlist sup
port of Southern California con-

PLAN
IS APPROVED

After considerable heated dis
cusSion and opposition, farm bu-
reau directors, with one dissenting
vote, approved the refinancing plan
agreed upon by representatives Of
the Imperial Irrigation district
bondholders and district officials
and which will come before the
district voters at the special elec-
tion on January IL. This decision
was made at their meeting yester-
day in the court house.
Evan T. Hewes. president of the
farm bureau, and Scott B. Foulds
secretary-manager, both of whom
were members of the farm bureaus
committee appointed to confer with
bondholders' representatives pre-
sented their report on this refin-
ancing scheme, recommending that
farm bureau directors adopt it,.
They pointed out that while it was
not the plan endorsed by the farm
bureau, they felt that it was the
best agreement that could be reach
ed with the bondholders and re-
commended its adoption.
Many of the directors spoke in
opposition to the plan, favoring the
one endorsed by the farm bureau,
which called for no payment of
interest this year and a gradual
increase in interest payments with
in period of five years and for
postponement of payments on
principal for six years.
After considering the question
for some time the directors final
ly came to an agreement and ap-
proved the plan with the excep-
ton of the one dissenting vote.
Farm bureau officials plan to
take up the plan with the various
farm centers, explaining its pro-
visions and urging its adoption.
Scott B. Foulds will discuss it at
the McCabe- Eucalyptus farm CEN
ter meeting on Friday evening OF
this week.

One Hold-Up Fails But Anoth-
er Nets Second Bandit Large
Sum OF Money.

LOS ANGELES, Dec. 81. U.P)-
Two bank holdups in widely sep
arated parts of the city today, sent
one bandit to police hospital, shot
through the chest, but netted a
second bandit $4,000.
The first holdup occurred short
ly before a branch of the Bank
of America on Melrose avenue op-
ened for business. The lone gun
man locked the manager, M. D.
Dwyer, and three employees in a
backroom while he looted the vault
of $4,000.
Shortly afternoon, another BAN
dit held up the Hyde Park branch
of the Bank of Inglewood, stuffed
5000 in his pocket, and ran fol
the door. He was shot and critic
ally wounded by Tom Nelson, bank
guar.
At police hospital, the wounded
man gave his name as Harry Alt
man, 33 of Venice. The loot was
recovered, police announced.
1t was the third time this month
that branches of the Bank of In
glewood have been held up.
On December l, two men enter
ed the Hyde Park branch, told
Miss Kathleen Bastian, cashier
they would "blow her pretty brains
out" if she made an outcry, and
escaped with $500.
Five days later, the Hawthorne
branch was looted of $3.50.
! Miss Bastian was again the VIC
tim today, but the quick-shooting
guard sent the bandit to the pave
ment before he could escape.
