FOR LOCAL RELIEF FUND DRIVE
Committeeman To Make Calls Tomorrow
On Business Houses For Pledge Cards
And December Donations.

In an appeal issued today by
Walter B. HavekorSt, chairman of
the finance committee of the Ell
Centre Relief Committee, he asked
all business concerns to have ready
tomorrow morning their pledges of
monthly contributions to Ell Cen
tro's home relief program. The

they be in readiness, together with
the December payments.
"The men who are serving on
these committees are mostly bust
ness men, with work to do like ev-
eryone else, and a business of their
own to take care of, said Have
horst. "They are giving, in addi-
ton to their own monetary contri-
buttons, their time in making this
drive. l beg the citizens and bus
mess men of Ell Centre to have
their pledges ready tomorrow morn
ing, so that the canvass may be
made with the expenditure of a
minimum of time.D

calls Tuesday morning will have

LOANS DENIED
BY LAND BANK

Several Imperial Valley applica-
tons for commissioner loans have
been rejected, notices of rejection
having been received today by Scott
B, Foulds, correspondent to the
agent of the land bank commission
er.
Among the causes for rejection as
listed for the different applications
were the following: valuations not
sufficient, no buildings, low income,
water table, etc Some were appli-
cations for loans in the district
between tie Alamo and New Riv-
ers, and others, outside this district.
1T is evident that the commits
sioner is going to be rather strict
in making loans and that nothing
but the best of security will be ac-
cepted' stated FouldS in comment
ing on the reflections.
Approval of one application for
loan on small ranch near Holt
vile has been received.

GREECE MAY
GIVE INSULT
UP TO u. S.

ATHENS, Dec. 4. U.P)-The Greek
! government Twill endeavor to find
way to deliver Samuel insult
fugitive Chicago multi millionaire,
over to the United States, Pana-
yoti Tsaldaris, prime minister, in
formed the United Press today.
Tsaldaris said he had promised
the United States minister that the
i government would explore the legal
! situation again, in an endeavor to
meet the wishes of the American
! government.
81 met the United States minis
ter, who explained at length the
desire that Mr.. insult be delivered
to United States JUSTICE Tsaldaris
said. HE stressed the Importance
of finding means to achieve this. -
II replied to Mr.. MacVeagh, y
TsaldariS said, THAT I realized the
100000 Greek residents of the Unit
ed States had been fairly treated
| that 1 appreciated the United
/ States assistance in settlement OF
refugees, and the friendly feeling
of the United States people toward
! Greece.
II also told him that we realized
insult IS presence here was detri-
mental to the friendly relations be-
i tween Greece and America, and
that 1 would endeavor to find q
way to deliver insult over to Am
erican justice. -
Must Be Regular
M. TsaldariS emphasized that the
means of delivering the Chicago
magnate "must not violate tha
findings of the appellate court MOI
wound the feelings of the Greek
people -
1t was believed the "means'
might be found in refusing to renew
insult s permission to remain in
Greece without a passport after the
/ expiration of his present permit, on
/ December 81, and then by deporting
him as an undesirable alien"
The prime minister's declaration
was complete reversal of previous
declarations dealing with the insult
case. Hitherto, the government has
held that the question of extradi-
/ WILL wac oOlCIJ OllC lOl lllC vi cen
i courts to determine, and that the
executive department could not in
! tervene.
/ Decision Of the Canadian govern
ment to surrender Martin insult
! Samuel insult IS brother, to the
United States, was regarded as sig
nificant.
insult has been tried twice in the
/ Greek courts on the issue of wheth-
err his eXtradition would be war;
ranted. On each occasion the courts
have held the United States pre-
sented insufficient evidence tC prove
any crime was committed.
insult is under American indict-
ment in connection with the col
lapse of his gigantic mid-western
utilities empire, and is specifically
accused of paying dividends out OF
capital.
