EXPECT
EARTHQUAKES

LOS ANGELES, April 0. U.P)-
Southern California must reconcile
itself to earthquakes and begin to
show "some semblance of intelli-
gence" in preparing for them, DR..
H. M. Engel, of California Institute
of Technology told the Pacific
coast division of the Seismological
Society of America today.
Engineers and legislators have
shown a decided lack of intelli-
gence in the building code for
structures in earthquake areas" he
declared.
1.-The Pacific coast cannot escape
the hazard of earthquakes" he
said. "The future depends on fac
ing the problem intelligently and
foresight.
"There has been a lack of coop
Grafton in cities which have child
ishly licked their hurts after a
destruction instead of conducting a
scientific investigation and pub
fishing a comprehensive survey to
guard against a recurrence.
DR.. Engel prophesied possibility
Of a major disaster if precautions
were not taken to guard against
loss of life in terrestrial disturb

IMPERIAL VALLEY PRESS
FRANCE SEEKS BUSINESS

FRANCE is planning an appropriation
of 33,000,000 francs, approximately
S1,320,000, to provide world propaganda
on France and the French, the bulk of
which is to be spent in the United States.
While the propaganda is designed to
acquaint the world with official affairs
of France, it is anticipated it will also
explain the advantages which France has
to offer for trade and for tourists.
Since economic affairs all over the
world have made for frightened purse
strings, France has felt the loss of many
a Yankee dollar. Various embargoes
against United States products have not
helped to encourage American spending
in France and neither has the refusal of
the French to meet last December's pay
ments on the war debt.
See America First is a slogan that
has been more popular in recent years
than ever before, and France will have
to put out plenty of propaganda to bring
back the big flood of tourists it formerly
received from America. Also, conditions
here will have to improve greatly, before
much touring will be done.
If loss of the American dollar makes
France realize that it should live up to
its promises, its propaganda may prove
effective. Otherwise it is likely to be
pretty much total loss.

Hearing On Dance
Hall Continued

Whether Fred Kenyon will add a
dancing pavilion to his plunge on
North Eighth street or whether the
objections of neighbors will cause
the plan to be dropped is still in
doubt.
A meeting of the city planning
commission was held in the city
hall last evening to consider pro-
tests and recommendations relative
to the proposal and when the meet
ing adjourned it was decided to re-
convene on Monday evening at 7
o'clock in order that the members
of the board might have more time
to consider the proposal in view
of information gathered at this
meeting.
A protest containing 81 names
was presented to the board and
several letters were also read, pro-
testing against allowing the paw
lion. On the other hand there were
several letters asking that the dance
hall be permitted so long as no beer
would be allowed to be placed on
sale for patrons of the establish
ment.
Lack of a quorum in order to put
the measure to a vote also influ-
enced the board in it's decision to
postpone definite action until Mon-
day night.

LET'S FORGET 1T

DEER having arrived and been tried out,
u it can now be relegated to the role of
ordinary things.
All of us have made so much fuss
about it that it has been given much
greater Importance than it deserves, but
Americans are like that. We go up in
the air or down in the depths about some
thing or other, quite often for no other
reason than that it seems to be the ac-
cepted thing to do.
There will, of course, be discussion for
some days to come on various angles con-
nected with the arrival of beer, but it is
due to become a minor topic with con-
siderable swiftness. 1t is high time we
concentrated some Of the time given over
to beer on other more important things

NO CENSORSHIP WANTED

ALTHOUGH still shrouded in consider
n able mystery, the press censorship bill
passed by the house this week, and now
undergoing consideration in the senate,
is of prime interest, not only to news
papers but to all newspaper readers
throughout the country.
Assertedly designed to prevent the
publication of secret government docu-
ments, the bill, as drawn is so worded
that it could easily be switched into GEN.
sorship of the press, rendering the exist
ence of the press galleries in congress
futile.
Freedom of the press is guaranteed by
the constitution and has been one of the
cherished traditions of the nation. All
newspapermen realize there are times
when publicity on various matters is not
desirable and on such occasions news
papermen respect the proprieties. Such
a condition existed during the World
war, when the press of the country sub
mitted to what was a practical censor
ship and did it willingly as a means of
speeding the nation to victory.
No such emergency exists in peace
times. The people of the nation are en-
titled to know what congress is doing
and the only means they have of knowing
is through the press Of the country.
Placing a muzzle on newspapers will not
be popular, either with the papers or
with the people.
Congressional leaders assert no GEN.
sorship is intended by the bill. On the
other hand, news services in close touch
with developments at Washington, de-
clare that the bill does contain such
provision If the latter are right con-
gress faces another battle for the press
knows its rights and is not backward
about claiming them nor averse to fight
ing for them.

SHAW F[AYS
HERR HITLER.

HAVANA, April 8. U.PSBernard
Shaw believes Adolf Hitlers anti
Jewish campaign will lead to the
end of his dictatorship in Ger
many, he said in an interview here
today.
The Irish playwright, enroute to
New York, received newspapermen
several hours after his arrival and
jovially submitted to a, lombard
ment of questions.
81 never have met Hitler and I
know nothing of his plans" said.
Shaw, Nobody else does, not ex-
cluding the German people. But if
it consists of persecution of the
Jews it's a monstrous thing and
Hitler will fail in the end. Then the
Jews will persecute him."
Shaw denied he had recently
been rude to Helen Keller, famous
blind woman. Some irresponsible
person spread that story" he as
serted.
Questioned about the impending
trial of six Britons in Moscow on
Sabotage charges, Shaw declared
'the defendants will get a fairer
trial in Russia Than any other
country"

SOVIET |RKED
BY THREATS

MOSCOW, April 8. U.P)-Threats
will not influence the Soviet court
that hears evidence of sabotage
against six accused British subjects
on Monday. This was, in sub
stance, Moscow's answer today to
the threatened British embargo.
While it had been announced
the trial would begin Monday, it
was indicated in well informed
quarters today that it would not
start before Thursday. The indict-
mentS probably will be read to the
defendants on Monday, however
The Moscow press vigorously de-
nounced the threat of embargo,
significantly indicating that evi-
dence against the accused Britons
was strong. Izvestia twice referred
to them as ''people whom the gov
ernment considers guilty." Pravda,
in ironic vein, foresaw the discom-
future of Sir John Simon, British
foreign minister who denounced
Soviet justice in the house of COM
mons, when evidence against his
"innocent countrymen" is made
public.

Delay Urged On
Akron Memorial

WASHINGTON, April 8. W.P)-
President Roosevelt has suggested
to the navy department that Off
cial memorial services for the Of
ficers and men of the u. S. S. Ak
ron be withheld until Memorial
day, May 80, it was learned today.
A tribute to the Akron's men
would be a fitting feature of Mem
orial day services at the Arlington
cemetery amphitheatre, he feels.
The President was of the opin-
ion it would be untimely to hold
official memorial services for the
Akron's crew now He pointed out,
his friends said, that as yet only a
few bodies have been recovered
from the sea.
His attitude was made known
after number of churches had re-
uuested that he attend memorial
services planned for tomorrow

WEEK
BILL DELAYED

WASHINGTON, April 8. U.p) -
Congressional action on the Black
20-hour week bill was delayed tenn
porarily today by a motion by Sen
ator Trammel (Dem), Florida, to
reconsider the measure in the SEN
ate where it was passed last Thurs
day by vote of SO to 80.
The Trammell motion automatic
ally suspends house action on the
bill but it is believed the stalemate
may be broken up Tuesday when
the Florida senator intends to call
his motion up for consideration.
His purpose Trammell explained in
seeking reconsideration was to in
sert in the bill an embargo against
foreign products produced by labor
employed for longer weekly period
than prescribed in the Black bill.

INTERNATIONAL
OFFERING Ne VI
TRUCK M0nEL.. !.

Ford S. Smith of the local branch
of the International Harvester COM
pany has just announced the new
model D-1 Y ten motor trucks ar
rival in El Centro at 400 Main
street.
This announcement OF a new In
ternational y ton motor truck
marks a significant milestone in
motor truck history. For years In
ternational Harvester has been a
leader in the production of a full
line of heavy-duty motor trucks
and speed trucks with ratings up
to tons. Now comes this new Mo-
del DIE ton International, and
as result, the size range of IN
ternational is enlarged, extending
from the new 1a-ton to the 71a ton
heavy-duty unit in variety OF
types.
The extensive International Har-
yester after-Sales service organiza-
ton, which has figured in such an
important way in building up In
ternational motor truck sales fig
ureS, will also play an essential role
in developing popularity for the
new D-l. Generations of experience
have taught international Harves-
ter the Importance of service to its
own development and the welfare
of the customer. AS result, an un-
usually strong, effective, and wide
flung company owned chain of SER
vice stations and branch houses =
the largest of its kind in the world
has been established for the care
of International motor trucks.
The chassis of the new Model D-1
International has a wheelbase of
113 inches and is powered by a six
cylinder engine of modern high
compression design which develops
10 horse power at 3400 I. p. m.
Downdraft carbUTetion and full
pressure fabrication to main, con-
necting-rod, and camshaft bearings
are important engine features. The
S-inch clutch is of the Single-p1ate
type with built-in vibration dam
per. The transmission has three
speeds forward and reverse. Final
drive is of the spiral-bevel gear type
with semi-floating axle shafts.
Semi-elliptic front and rear springs
are of chrome-vanadium steel and
have elf-adjusting shackles. Forty
spoke, 18-inch wire wheels, a left
front fender well, spare wheel, and
spare wheel carrier are standard
equipment.
In the design of the new d., spe-
cial attention was devoted by the
engineers to appearance, an item
that is receiving increasing con-
sideration by business people in the
purchase of automotive delivery
units. Two attractive types of bo-
dies are available. One is a deluxe
sedan panel body and the other an
all-steel pickup body with coupe
type cab. The loading compartment
of the panel body is 70 inches long,
46% inches wide, and AZ inches
/ high. The pickup body has a load
ing space &c inches long and 46A
inches wide. Side panels are IL in
ches high with siX-inch flare
boards.

Court Lenienf
With Youths

Two local youths received sus-
pended sentences of 10 days in the
city Jail from Lee Nuffer, police
judge, in court this morning.
The boys decided to make a little
whoopee in local cafe late last
night and started in to have q
riotous time, breaking a mirror dur
ing the course of the evening. That
this brought bad luck was proven
by a night in Jail and good talk
ing-to from the court this morn
ing. The boys promised to behave
in the future and were released
from custody.
Tom Metz, 42, and Ted Brown,
%, pleaded guilty to charges of
drunkenness. The former paid a
$40 fine while the latter must spend
the next five days in Jail. j. j.
Boatwright, 46, pleaded not guilty
to a similar charge and will have
