SACRAMENTO, April 15.-Dead-
locks between the two houses on
vital legislation lurked around the
corner today as California iegisla-
tors today rested after weeks
gruelling work.
There are three issues on which
disagreement between the senate
and assembly may retard the law
making pace.
First is the program for meeting
the anticipated $49,OOO,O0O budget
deficit for the next two years. Two
methods of solving the problem
have been advanced - the Riley
Stewart plan and the Feigenbaum
sale tax bill
The Riley-Stewart plan, calling
for a gross receipts tax, property
tax limitation, governmental cost
limitation, and repeal of amend
ment number one, passed the SEN
ate by unanimous vote. 1t is before
the lower house where opposition is
mounting rapidly and where only
81 votes are needed to prevent it
from going to the people for vote.
Out of this assembly opposition
has arisen an alternative plan, in
troduced by ASSemblyman B. j.
Feigenbaum, San Francisco. 1t pro-
videS graduated sales tax-similar
to the Mississippi sales tax-which
would raise revenue estimated at
between $30,000,00O and $4,000, 600
annually.
The senate passed the Riley
Stewart constitutional amendment
unanimously. If the assembly re-
jects and substitutes the sales tax,
a deadlock may well result.
Second, is the assembly ways and
means committees $240, 100000 bud
get bill. The measure was approv-
ed without amendment by the low
er house. 1t is now being examined
by the senate finance sub-commit-
tees. There is every indication there
will be a revision upward. If ma
terially altered, 1t is unlikely the
lower house will accept the chan
ges.
Third, is the beer regulation bill.
Here, the issue is local option. The
assembly repudiated its own COM
mittee by striking out local option.
The senate promptly put it back in
again. Such an issue is hardly sub
ject to compromise and a deadlock
appears inevitable.

CLEVELAND, April is. U.R-
President William Green of the
American Federation of Labor to-
day declared the government must
strike boldly into fields of private
enterprises to pull the country out
of the wreckage of the present cap
italist collapse.
Because the people "have lost
faith in almost everything except
the government" Green told the
city club. "the cherished principles
of private business rights must be
discarded.
"There are many who are con-
vinced that in order to protect
those who have invested heavily in
railroad securities. including the
insurance companies, the govern
ment will be compelled to own, op-
crate and control the transporta-
ton lines, of the nation" he said.
In banking, he declared it imper-
alive that the government partici-
pate in future banking operations
to assure the people that their
funds are safe, sound and secure. y
"This governmental policy may
be classified as socialistic and as
transgressing the principles of our

TEACHERS IN
bic PARADE

CHICAGO, April Is. (U.P)-Chi-
cagos unpaid school teachers
marched in a giant protest demon
stration today.
In their pockets they carried
checks for one weeks salary but
on their shoulders they carried
banners demanding eight months
back pay.
At the head of thas procession
were banners reading:
politicians and bankers may
clash, but still the teachers work
without cash."
"seven day pay, seven months
work"
The board of education and city
officials had hoped to avert the
demonstration, which had been
planned for several days, by max
ing available $1,600,00O for one
weeks pay.
Selection of Edward j. Kelly as
permanent mayor had made possi-
BILE the one weeks salary but it
failed to check the demonstration.
AT the fore of the big parade
were bands made up of school pu-
pills whose loyalty to their teachers
took the form last week of strike
and refusal to attend classes.
The teachers committee estimat-
ed there were nearly 10000 in
structors taking part in the dem
onstration and uncounted hundreds
of students.

LONDON, April, Is. U.P)-Count
Bernstorff, charge d'affairs at the
German embassy called at the for
eign office today with an official
protest against recent statements
in the house of commons consid-
cred unfavorable to the Nazi gov
ernment.
1t was understood that BernStorff,
particularly protested the speeches
Of Winston Churchill and Sir Aus
ten Chamberlin, dealing with the
German police force, as interfer-
ence in German domestic affairs.
BernStorff took the view that
the speaker of the house or a men,
ber of the government should have
interviewed, it was understood. He
also was understood to have pro-
tested the phraseology used by Sir
John Simon, foreign minister, when
he said that developments in
Germany are not the concern of
Jews alone but OF the entire British
nation"

NEW TURN IN
FILM TROUBLE

HOLLYWOOD. April Is. {U.Pj -
New developments, including pos
sible law suits, were expected to-
day in the Warner Brothers-First
National studio fight against pay
ment of wages ordered by the Ac-
ademy of Motion Picture Arts and
Sciences.
Daryl zanuck, production chief
for Warmers, resigned last night af-
ter an open break with executives
over the part pay holiday policy
adopted by that studio.
His resignation was accepted by
Jack L. Warner, vice president, and
was followed by studio statement
attributing the resignation to dis
agreement of policy in company
management" ..
Warmers continued to defy the
academy's order, despite the fact
that all other motion picture COM
panies involved in the waiver plan
have followed individual edictS.
A number of Warner stars and
writers today we're reported prepar-
ing a test of the legality of waiver
plans by first making demand on
the studio for full pay from March
6, when the eight-week reduced SAL
ary agreement period started, be-
cause of asserted violations of for
NAL agreements made between the
academy and Warmers.

CRUEL PLIGHT
OF HORSES IS
TO BE PROBED

It required a federal court order
obtained at 10 o'clock last night by
telephone from Los Angeles to bring
promise of relief to 70 horses
which had been confined in two
cattle cars, left on a siding near a
local warehouse without any at
tendant to care for them.
B. T. Cox, night patrolman of the
local police force was the first to
discover the plight of the animals
which showed signs of having been
without feed or water for some
time. Several of them had died in
the cars and the rest were consid-
erably frightened.
Cox Immediately got in touch
with Mrs. Edna Morrison, secretary
of the humane society in the coun-
ty, with officials of the Southern
Pacific company and the sheriff's
office. 1t was discovered, however,
that the cars, having been passed
by the customs officials in Calexico,
were under government bond and
could be opened only by an order
from the federal court.
This was obtained by Mrs. Nor
rison after the train with two cars
attached had left the city and it
was to be stopped at some point
further north and the animals were
to receive proper care and atten-
ton.
William Hewson, deputy customs
collector at Calexico, is making an
investigation of the case.

SAN FRANCISCO, April IS. (u.F

SAN FRANCISCO, April Is. (U.pj
Attempts of John O'Gara, former
deputy district attorney, to quash
movement for the trial of Tom
Mooney on pending Indictment
failed today when Superior Judge
Louis H. Ward reiterated his order
for the trial to start April 26.
O'Gara argued that another trial
would result in a second conviction
for Mooney. Judge Ward listened
attentively, thanked O'Gara for his
interest, but said the attorney had
introduced nothing mot already
considered by the court"
Judge Ward said he would file a
statement of interest Monday, ex-
planning his position in ordering a
new trial.
Mooney supporters looked to the
trial as the basis for another fight
for a pardon. They pointed out that
if Money were found not guilty of
the pending murder charge in con-
nection with the 1916 Preparedness
day bombing, for which he is serv-
ing life sentence in San Quentin,
he would have powerful argument
on which to base new pardon
plea.

ROOSEVELT STODNNG IDEA
Of RECOGNIZING RUSSIANS
Desirability Of Discussing Economic Prob.
lens With Soviet Before London Confer
ence Influencing Policy.

poets of United States Russian
trade, it is understood, were given
President Roosevelt last night by
Col. Hugh Cooper, engineer and &C.
onomist. He has spent much time
in Russia where he helped to build
the huge Dneiperstoy hydroelectric
plant.
Cooper also talked with Assistant
Secretary of State Moley, one OF
the Presidents principal advisors.
Authorities familiar with Russia
say that the Soviet Union is such
a weighty factor In the world COM
merce that its cooperation would
be necessary in any broad interna-
tional plan of recovery. The Soviet
Union is to take part in the Lon
don conference, but some officials
here are convinced that its partici-
patton as well as that of the United
States will be hampered if they are
not free to talk together on an Of
ficial plane.
These same sources are convinced
that preparations for the confer
ence would be accelerated if the
two could discuss tariffs, exchange
and other matters in advance of
the London meeting. Lack of re-
lations prevents this.
Whether such talks will take
place cannot be predicted now. All
that can be said with certainty is
that Mr.. Roosevelt is studying the
recognition problem, as well as he
can in the midst of SO many other
pressing responsibilities.

RECALL CASE
|SPERMANENT
Court Grants Plea In Noted
Action Involving Loss OF
Several Petitions.
MAY APPEAL DECISION
Opponents OF Action Granted
Five Days In Which To File
Notice.

Judge L. P. Turrentine this NOR
ming made permanent the tempor-
ary injunction suit preventing calf
ing of the Burleigh Adams recall
election and gave five days in which
defendants may file an appeal If
they so desire.
The hearing was conducted this
morning at the court house in the
suit which was filed following dis
appearance of IL of the 13 sections
of the Adams recall petition from
the private office of F. H. McIver,
secretary of the Imperial
Irrigation district.
Charles L. Childers, chief coun-
sci for the Imperial Irrigation dis
trict, contended that McIver has a
true copy of the lost petitions with
names and addresses. Judge Tur-
rentine said there was not the le-
gally required date on the certified
copies. He then suggested that the
suit might come under the class of
"lost instruments.
This brought forth the statement
from s. P. Williams, attorney rep
reSenting two of the district direc-
tors who filed an answer to the
original suit in asking that the in
junction be made permanent, that
the suit had nothing to do with the
lost instrument phase but was
brought merely to determine whe-
ther the injunction be made per-
manent or not.
The judge then ruled that the in
junction be made permanent. He
also ruled that the amended an
swer filed by McIver does not state
defense.
After disappearance of the IL
sections of the recall petition March
13, Maril l.. Box and Herman Huth,
represented by Ernest Utley, ap-
! piled for temporary restraining
order to prevent certification Of the
sufficiency of the petitions and
calling of the special recall elec-
ton. McIver and the district board
of directors were named defendants
| in the suit.
An answer to the suit was filed
April 6, by w. E. Young and Evan
T. Hewes, district directors, asking
that the temporary injunction be
made permanent. They were repre-
sented by Williams, local attorney.
Interest in the complicated and
confusing suit has been widespread
in the valley, especially in the
Brawley division which Adams rep
resents on the district board.

THREE CREWS
IN bic RACE.

MARINE STADIUM, Long
Beach, April Is. W.Pj-The rhythm
ic thrustS of oars from the racing
shells of three universities was to
bring back the thrills of the Olym-
pic Games today to Southern Cali
fornia in a contest in which the
Golden Bears of the University of
California, world champions, were
underdogs to the University of
Washington Huskies.
The third entrant was the crew of
the University of California at Los
Angeles in its first inter collegiate
competition. Lacking the training
and experience of its competitors,
u. G. L. A. was not considered ser
iously for first honors in the var
sity race.
Rowing away from the Golden
Bears on the Oakland estuary one
week ago, the Huskies established
themselves as the breakers of
champions, and we're out to main
tain that reputation today.
They had to contend with a crew
which listed four men who were
world champions in last summers
games-Coxwain Norris Graham,
Harold Tower, Winslow Hall and
Charles Chandler-a crew which
sought to vindicate itself for the
surprise defeat Of last week.
The HuskieS themselves had three
veterans whose steadiness and ex-
perience contributed to last weeks
victory, and maintained the crew a
favorite today. They are Capt. Her
bert Mjorud, Herbert Day and Cor

ers in New York and Wisconsin,
Milo Reno, national president,
knuckled down today to the task OF
organizing the proposed demonstra-

only one thing" Reno said to-
day, as he dispatched instructions
to delegates from % states who are
expected, "can prevent this strike

TWO DIE IN
FAMILY ROW

VACAVILLE, Calf, April is. (U.P)
"A year of family troubles vas
brought to a swift, tragic end near
here last night when Mrs. viii
Tapin, Is, was shot to death while
her six small children looked on
in horror.
The woman was shot, authorities
claim, by her brother -in-law- Fred
Caballero, "a, who later assertedly
committed suicide at the home of a
friend, Louis Muller, in Woodland.
Police said today that Caballero
recently had made several attempts
to reconcile differences with his
estranged wife, who was staying at
the Tapin home. When he at
tempted to see her last night, her
sister, Mrs. Tapin, slammed the
door in Caballero's face.
Caballero then was reported to
have rushed to the side Of the
house, fired shotgun charge
through a window into Mrs. Tapin's
back, and another charge point
plank into her chest when he fin
ally gained entrance to the house.
AS Caballero fled, Solano county
authorities we're notified and gave
chase, and Napa and Yolo officers
were warned to guard the high
ways. The trial finally led to Wood
land, where Caballero5s body was
found.
The Caballeros were married four
years ago in Reno over the asserted
objections of the brides family.
Two months ago Mrs. Caballero
ran away to Salt Lake City, Utah.
