RELIEF PROGRAM
CONSIDERED BY
LOCAL CHAMBER

Last nights meeting of the di-
rectors of the Ell Centro Chamber
of Commerce was given over large
ly to discussion of charitable relief
for the city with members of the
city council, the central relief COM
mittee and officers of other civic
and charitable organizations pres
ent. DR.. Norman E. Dupont, chair
man of the central relief commit
tee explained the great need which
exists for funds with which to car
ry on relief work during the VIM
ter.
1t had been proposed by the re-
lief committee that relief stamps
te issued to be used in connection
with all retail sales. After con-
siderable discussion this plan was
temporarily tabled and considera-
ton was given to the possibility OF
making an addition to water bills,
under the assumption that a
charge thus made and levied would
be spread over the city generally,
possibly with more thoroughness
than in any other way. Decision
was finally reached that Presi-
dent w. A. Tondro of the cham
Der of commerce should name a
committee consisting of two repre-
sentatives from each classification
or business group, and this COM
mittee should meet at once and de-
eide upon the merits OF several
plans proposed for obtaining nee
essary funds for the winters re-
lief work, with particular consid-
Grafton to be given to the stamp
plan and to the proposal of a
slight increase in water rates.
The directors adopted a resolu-
tion urging that air mail be car
ried on the line now operating
between CaleXico, Ell Centre and
Riverside to Glendale and Los An
geleS. 1t was declared that such a
line would be an important feeder
to American Always, now operat-
ing east and west tranScontinen-
tai service, and that it would give
Ell Centro residents improved air
mail service to points north OF
Imperial Valley.
The board UNANIMOUSLY voted to
sponsor a celebration to commem-
crate the turning of the Colorado
River water into the tunnels of
Boulder Dam. This important
event will occur about mid-Decem-
ber and it was thought by cham
ber directors that such an OccaS-
ion presented splendid opportuni-
ties for favorable publicity for the
valley. Robert Hays, secretary of
the chamber, was directed to COM
municate with other chambers of
commerce throughout Imperial
Valley and urged that they parti-
cipate in this celebration and that
it be a countrywide event, shared
by all residents of Imperial Valley.

HEARS ADDRESS
BY JOHN QUINN

John r. Quinn, former chair
man of the Veterans Welfare
board and former national COM
mander of the American Legion,
spoke to an interested audience in
Wilson school auditorium last
night concerning the subject, 1.-THE
Republican Party's Administra-
ton.
He outlined the benefits Imper-
ial Valleys fruit and vegetable
industries derived from the Repub-
lican tariff and said this benefit
had been tremendous.
The speaker also spoke at
length of the aid President Her
bert Hoover had given the valley
While acting in an advisory capac-
ity concerning the Swing johnson
bill. One of the major sections of
his address was devoted to the his
tory of veterans adjusted compen-
sations.
"All the benefits veterans of all
wars have enjoyed" said Quinn,
"came to them from a Republican
administration"
He declared that Democrats
failed to take into consideration
the fact that Republicans had set
the administration building plan
ahead five years as a means of
providing employment. This, he
pointed out, was a reason for high
cost of government. During his
address he said President Hoover
had reduced the cost of govern
ment one billion dollars by cut
ting down on appropriations.

ed Quinn, sis insincere in his dis
cussion of public issues, especial
ly of the bonus question"
The speaker was introduced by

mum presided at the session. Quinn

DIRECTORS DENY COACHELLA
REQUEST FOR CONFERENCE

reply to the communication re-
ceived from them yesterday after
noon.
Directors of the landowners as
sociation, usually known as the op-
position to inclusion of the Coach
ella area into the Imperial dis
trlct under the All-American Can
al contract, telegraphed that they
interpreted the recent definite
statement as supplemental to the
statement of Imperials position as
set forth at a hearing before
Richard j. Coffey and not as the
final position on the question of
water rights of Coachella.
Response Is Plain
The response of directors of the
Imperial Irrigation district set
forth in no uncertain terms that
the statement regarding Coachel-
las lack of water rights was final
and that it fully sets forth the pos
ition of the Imperial district.
Directors of the landowners as
sociation said that if the statement
regarding Coachella's water rights
was final, an agreement would be
impossible on the subdivision of
water and other matters Ray Ly-
man Wilbur, secretary of interior,
declared to be prerequisite to separ-
ate contracts. The last sentence
in the telegram contained a
threat of litigation. The sentence
read, Litigation can usually be
avoided by reasonable men. We
solicit a conference in the hope
that an agreement between us can
be negotiated"
Imperial directors in their tele-
graphic reply said, Your inter-
probation of our statements as be-
ing supplemental but not final, is
incorrect. We believe ample nego-
tiations preceded our decision and
consider the matter closed"

To Use Plane I'm
COsmic Research

LOS ANGELES, Oct. 81. W.P)-
Equipped with delicate electro
scopes, an airplane was recruited
by science today to test the action
of the elusive cosmic ray at high
attitudes.
The plane, with Capt. G. w.
Coombs at the controls, was to as
cend to an altitude of $4,000 feet
in an effort to record on the cleo
troscopes any possible variances of
the ray at that height.
The experimental flight was un-
dertaken in the interests of the
theory of DR.. Robert A. Millikan,
California scientist, that cosmic
and light rays are similar and not
susceptible to variation by the
magnetic pull of the poles. Both
day and night flights were ordered
as an experiment.

FOX PLANNING
NEW BATTLE TO
REGAIN CONTROL

NEW YORK, Oct. 27.-U.Py =
William Fox, the immigrant boy
who rose to be king of the movie
world and then was forced to alb
dicate after a wall street stock bat
tie, is planning to regain his throne
through the courts.
From the obscurity to which he
1-etired in 1880 when ousted from
control of the huge Fox Film Corp,
the former motion picture mag
nate has launched four legal suits,
which, if successful, will place him
back upon the pinnacle he once
occupied.
Control of the golden talking
picture field is the stake for which
Fox is battling behind the scenes,
his attorneys told the United Press
today.
Charging infringement Of the
basic patents for the recording of
sound film, Fox, hard pressed by
a myriad of law actions brought
against him since his retirement
has filed suits against some of the
biggest powers in moviedom, in
cluding Paramount -PubliX, r. K
o., r. c. A., Photophone and Wes-
tern Electric.
The suits, according to the at
torneys, have been filed in Della
ware. Pennsylvania, the District OF
Columbia and Brooklyn. They seek
injunctions against further use of
Fox patents and an accounting of
profits from talking pictures in
which the. disputed principles were
nvolved-profits estimated at any,
where from $100,0OO0OO to $20O,O00,- )
600.
With the astuteness that en-
abled him to build the biggest
amusement enterprise in the world
out of an East Side penny arcade,
Fox has quietly organized two COM
panies through which he is press
ing the "talkie" suits. These are
the American Tri-Ergon Corp, and
the Tri-Ergon Holding A. G., in
which Fox holds 80 per cent stock
interest.
Victory after long and tortuous
grind through the processes of law,
was predicted by the attorneys.
They based their optimism on a
recent decision by supreme court
Justice Adkins of the District of
Columbia, in which he said that

public demonstration OF the photo

SUPREME COURT
ATTACK DRAWS
G. @. P. FIRE

NEW YORK, Oct. 81. U.P)--
Franklin D. Roosevelt's departure
from his set speech at Baltimore,
in which he referred to the United
States supreme court as CON
trolled" by the Republican party,
has brought a storm of criticism
from prominent Republicans.
In a biting statement, James NJ
Beck, former solicitor general OF
the United States, called Roosevelt
"demogogue." Silas H. Strawn,
former president of the American
Bar association, said he was
"amazed that any reputable men,
ber of the bar should make
that statement which strikes at
the very foundation of our gov
ernment."
Senator David A. Reed of Penn
sylvania, Nathan L. Miller, former
governor of New York, and former
Governor Charles S. Whitman
were among others who protested
against the statement.
OF those who commented in re-
leases from Republican headquar-
ters, Beck was the most vigorous.
mo statement was ever made
by any public man." he said, "since
William j. Bryan, who attacked
the supreme court and was igno-
minously defeated, that is more
prejudicial to the integrity of the
government in very critical per-
iod of its existence. than that OF
Governor Roosevelt"
An appeal to former President
Calvin Coolidge to challenge the
statement was made by Robert H
Manner of New York, a classmate
of Coolidge at Amherst, who wired
the ex-president "in behalf of var
ious prominent citizens" who, he
said, were aroused to intense feel
ing against Roosevelt"

Mrs. Chaplin make any success with
the children in pictures, she would
be basking in the reflected glory
of her former husband. 1t should
be his privilege to direct who shares
in the glory of his name.

PRICE OF
WHEAT IS
IMPROVED
Slight Upturn Following
Lowest Spot In Over
800 Years.
WORLD BATTLE ON
Argentine, United States
And Canada Seek Con-
troll OF Export Trade.
BY HARRISON SALISBURY
United Press Staff Correspondent


CHICAGO, Oct. 27.-A wheat
war aong front extending into
three continents was marked by a
surprise fractional upturn of pri-
ces at the opening of the Chicago
Board of Trade today.
The trend was reversed after the
struggle for exports had driven
prices to the lowest levels in more
than 800 years.
All deliveries were u cent higher
at Chicago as traders took courage
from Liverpool cables telling OF
better demand in the world mar
ket and from rising stock prices.
The recovery progressed during
the first hour of trading. At 1C
a. M, all wheat futures prices were
u cent higher than the previous
close. The rush of selling that yes
terday drove wheat prices to the
lowest figures since the reign OF
Queen Elizabeth in England was
lacking and a wave of scattered
buying continued the slight gains
recorded near the close of the last
session.
1t was only a lull in the battle
of the United States, Canada, and
Argentina for world export trade,
even the most courageous traders
admitted. The race between the
Unitd States and Canada to unload
their wheat abroad before the
southern hemisphere can move its
crop northward was still on.
Opening prices at Chicago were:
December wheat, 44& to as cents,
unchanged to 4 cents higher; May
SOS, 4 higher and July 51A, "a
higher.
Corn strengthened with wheat
and went up a cent and oats were
unchanged to Is cent lower.
To Regulate Speculation
Coincident with the wheat war
the board of trade announced it
would assume tomorrow regulation
of speculative trading abandoned
by the federal grain futures COM
mission. Directors of the board of
trade adopted a resolution Oct. 20
placing in the control of its busi-
ness conduct committee supervision
of trading to prevent harmful spec
ulative short selling.
Forms on which commission hous-
es and members using the boards
clearing facilities must set down
confidential reports were sent out.
1t was explained that names of
traders would be in code and will
not be disclosed by the board of
trade unless the short trading to-
tails exceed limits set by the board
as marking the bounds of market
menace.
The reports, it is stipulated, must
be forwarded promptly for each
days trading
The federal government REIN
forced the board of trade in this
battle of exports last week when
Secretary of Agriculture Arthur
M. Hyde abrogated the rule re-
quiring reports to the grain fut-
ureS administration on large fut-
ures transactions.
Deals involving 100000 or more
bushels of wheat, corn or oats, or
100000 bushels or more of rye were
involved, and the administration
