MIDDLE WEST
STILL STYLES

KANSAS CITY, Mo, June 81.
UP)-A blistering heat wave that
has broken all endurance records
in the mid-continent area contin-
ued its assault today.
In a few sections of the vast
area cooling rains brought temper
airy relief from excessive temper
atures, but their duration and eX-
tent were problematical.
In Kansas City rain fell inter-
mittently during the morning,
holding the mercury in the 80's.
Forecasters said the temperature
would rise.
Local showers in the Texas pam
handle and in west Texas brought
some relief, but the weather "still
was hot and sultry'' The heat
along the Texas gulf continued.
From Oklahoma City came the
report that little change was ex-
pected in weather conditions. The
temperature reading in that city
yesterday was 1924; the maximum
for the state at Okeene, was LOT.
In Denver on the eastern slope
of the Rockies another warm day
was expected At 9 a. m. the mer-
curry stood at 80, and was expected
to go higher.
Denver yesterday sweltered I'M
der the highest recording of the
year-93.9.
From Salt axe City, on the west
ern side of the Rockies, came the
report that all heat duration rec
ordS had been broken there. Yes
terday was the 18th consecutive
day the mercury had passed the
80 degree mark.
The reading in the Utah city
yesterday was 81, and a similar
mark was expected today.
From Nebraska came reports of
scattered showers over the south
eastern portion of the state. Tenn
peratureS generally were slightly
lower than yesterday.
Intermittent rainfall also was re-
ported from Kansas points, where
great damage has been done the
wheat crop.
Livestock in all sections still were
reported suffering from the heat
and the crop loss percentage con-
tinued to rise.

NEW DEAL To
FACE TROUBLE
Finding Middle Line Between
Low Prices And High Wages
Present Problem.
BY RAYMOND CLAPPER
United Press Staff Correspondent

Copyright, 1888, BY United Press
WASHINGTON, June 81. - The
administration is heading into the
first great test of its industrial con-
troll machinery in the struggle to
hold prices within bounds.
This is the crucial test for the
new deal, because it touches the
flattened pocket books of every
wage Garner and salaried person
and because it strikes at profits,
the most important thing in the
life of every business man, large or
small
The Roosevelt administration
wants higher prices. But it wants
them to come gradually, not in a
sudden wild squirt.
Those two sentences explain away
many of the seeming contradictions
in the sWift-moving events at
Washington and London.
All administrator utterances fol-
low the appeal of President RooSe-
welt, who asked business men to
defer price increases, even at the
cost of initial profits, while wages
catch up. General Hugh Johnson,
industrial control administrator
and Charles j. Brand, farm relief
CO. administrator, have followed
this up in more emphatic language.
All emphasize that if prices go
up faster than wages, there will be
another buyers strike and business
will go into another tail-spin.
Those officials who are wrest-
ling with realities realize this
ducking of price increases is their
hardest problem.
The situation is specifically con-
fusing because it is the policy OF
the administration to raise the price
level. 1t has refused to enter a
sterilization agreement at London
for present because it wants the
price level to go up. There are two
reasons for this insistence upon a
| higher price level.
First, business is regarded as
more likely to expand on a rising
market which always stimulates
turnover and therefore profits
Second. the mass of private debts
and obligations and various fixed
charges such as life insurance
premiums were incurred by thou
sands of persons at higher price
level. These debts must either be
scaled down or the price level
forced up.

Hay Withdrawn
From Market

Due to extremely low prices pre-
vailing for hay, the Imperial Valley
Hay Growers association has with
arawn its hay from the market, ac-
cording to J. S. Cameron, secre-
tary.
Valley hay is now bringing about
So per ton, Cameron said, price
which returns no profit to the
grower and which is out of proper
ton to the advance in price of
other grains.
Hay being non speculative
commodity on the grain market, 1t
does not share in the price advance
enjoyed by other grains, Cameron
said, and decisive action is essen
tial in the association S opinion,
to bring prices up to level where
there is a return for the grower,
hence the decision to withdraw hay
from the market.

marry her?" while talking to his
sister short time after the body
of his wife was found in the bath
room of their Stanford campus

MELONS CAUSE
SMALL RIOT

Races and nationalities were all
mixed up in an incipient riot at
Olive and the railroad tracks this
morning. After Officer Ackley ar
rived on the scene at 1920 o'clock
and poured oil on the troubled
waters he persuaded the combat
ants to accompany him to police
headquarters where they were
booked on charges of disturbing
Inc peace. Those named were Isaac
Tillman, Negro, George Coulas, Jim
Vrana and Gust Sturgious. Water
melons seem to have been the
cause of the trouble. The men
were released to appear in court
tomorrow morning.
Another disturbance occurred at
Second and Main streets last night
when H. c. Crawford, Miller Nc
Clellan and Robert Campbell. all
Negroes, got into a mixup. They,
too, were brought into headquar-
tiers and released after being
booked for disturbing the peace.
They are to appear before Judge
Nuffer tomorrow morning.
James Frazier, Paul Jones and
H. Sapp, were booked on a charge
OF vagrancy and confined in the
city Jail. Charley Green and Hat
tic Green, wanted on a charge Of
cashing a check which belonged to
somebody else, were arrested by Of
ficer Mitchell yesterday and turned
over to the county officials.

No Holiday For
Some Offices

Stress Of work which could not

and assessors departments of the
city hall and court house alike,
clerks were buSily engaged this
morning in checkups of tax pay
ments and delinquencieS. Business
was carried on as usual at the traf-
fic office, the agricultural commits
sioner's office and the welfare de-
partment.
All court activities ceased today,
the county clerk office being
closed as well as that of the dis
trict attorney. Both departments
Of superior court were vacated and
no actions were conducted in either
the justice court or the city police
court.
Imperial Irrigation district offices
here were open during the usual
hours.
BY noon over 500 voters had cast
their vote at the three polling places
IN the city and judging by this,
election officials predicted a heavy
vote before the polls close at 7
@ clock this evening.

DISTRICT GETS
PERMISSION TO
INSTALL WEIR

Application of the Imperial Irr-
igation district for permission to
construct the brush weir in the Col
orado river at Hanlon's Heading
was granted by the war department
yesterday. according to information
received here.
The department also agreed to
reduce the bond from 100000 to
100000 at the request of the dis
trict. The bond is required in order
to protect Indian lands and rec
iamation projects in the event the
weir should cause damage to them.
Application for permission to
construct the weir and the grant
ing of permission by the war de-
partment are matter of routine
every year.

SPECIAL ELECTION EXPECTED TO
BRING OUT HEAVY VOTE TODAY

SAN FRANCISCO, June 81. W.pl
Drawn by such controversial prop
ositions as prohibition repeal, le-
galized betting at horse races, ana
taxation changes, Californians vert
to The polls today to vote in {. spe-
cial state election.
Because of the widespread interest
in most of IL proposals on the bal
lot, the vote was expected to be the
heaviest ever recorded in a special
election. 1t was feared returns
might lag, because several isolated
counties made no provisions fOr
gathering returns by telephone.
Election boards i'll those counties
were instructed to mail their repcrts
to the county seats.
Opponents Of prohibition wei
confident California would join the
list of states voting TO ratify repeal
of the 18th amendment Drys in
sisted California would stem the
wet the, but advocates of repeal
pointed to the outcome of other bal
letting in the state to support their
contention The i-prollibition pro-
posal would carry by a three to
one vote.
California repealed its state dry
Imperial Valley press., 1933-06-27

law last fall, and several previously
dry cities have voted to remove
their stringent enforcement stat
utes. Northern California was ex-
pected to support repeal by heavy
majority, with the southern section
fight being closer.
Following repeal in interest was
Proposition Nc. 3, which would le-
galize pari-mutuel betting at horse
races Proponents, confident OF vic
tory, claim the bill would provide
the state with new tax revenue,
stimulate the breeding of fine
horses, and legalize sport ALREADY
tolerated. Opponents insist 1t
would be harmful to the state be-
cause it would encourage gamblers
and racketeers to invade California.
The Riley-Stewart taxation plan,
listed as Proposition No. /, was ex-
pected to be closely contested, as
was the proposal TO eliminate nom
profit private schools from taxation
proposition No. A.. Heavy adver-
Using campaigns have been con-
Quoted for and against both pro-
posals.
Voters were expected to approve
a $55 100000 bond issue to refinance
irrigation ard reclaim districts and
$20,0O0,000 issue to provide un-
employment relief.
Automobile associations vigorously
fought Propositions 9 and 10 which
would authorize the legislature to
divert gasoline tax funds to tn
general fund for interest payments
and redemption of outstanding
highway bonds. Such a diversion,
it was claimed, would harm the
state road building program.
The other two state proposals
would adjust assessment Of property

late compensation of supervisors,
district attorneys and auditors.

action authorized at the capital,
The Press was advised this af-
tern0on.
II has been brought to the
attention of those sponsoring
the fight to keep the office open,
that kilograms should be sent
to Senator McAdoo and to Sec
rotary of Agriculture Wallace,
insisting that the Brawley Of
flee be kept ODen, :lstead of
protesting against closing 1t.
Heretofore kilograms sent by
numerous organizations and in
dividuals in the valley have
merely registered a protest
against closing. 1t is felt that
insistence on the office being
maintained will have a greater
effect in bringing about
change and leaders in the fight
to keep the service hope that
such kilograms will be sent to

LOS ANGELES
VOTING LIGHT

LOS ANGELES, June 81. U.P)-
Lighter early balloting even than
had been expected today drew from
election officials the prediction
that the special election vote in
Los Angeles county would not ex-
ceed 40 per cent of registered vot-
erS.
The light turnout was attributed
by many to the fact that the livest
iSSue-prohibition repeal-waS re-
garded as foregone conclusion
but observers were puzzled by the
celebrates apparent indifference
to other propositions-notably race
track gambling, the Riley-Stewart
tax plan and diversion of gasoline
tax funds.
The registrar S office reported a
very quiet election, with no dis
turbances at any precinct.
Vets hoped for a repeal victory
by as much as 3 to /, though the
light turnout indicated the ratio
might move downward, with still
scant prospect of a surprise dry
victory. The county voted repeal
of the Wright act last fall by $685.
QUO to 100000.

LAKEMANS BAY, ROGUE IS
LAND. Me-, June 81. Fog today
held the Amberjack II, with Pres
ident Roosevelt aboard, a prisoner
in this bleak and isolated spot.
The mist, rolling in from the
ocean for the past SO hours gave
indications of holding on until to-
morrow.
Mr.. Roosevelt, meanwhile, devot-
ed his time to resting. spinning
yarns of the sea with his sons
Franklin Jr., and John, and catch
ing up on the pressing official bus
mess.
He awaited the arrival of the
destroyer Bernadeu from Boston
bringing Norman Davis, chief of
the American delegation to the
Geneva disarmament conference
for discussion of the world peace
situation.
If the fog continues it was be-
lieved the President would cancel
plans for a cruise to Nova Scotia
with the Amberjack and point
northward instead for Campobello,
where he will meet his senior Sec
rotary, Col. Louis McHenry Howe.
With visibility limited to a few
yards the bells of the destroyer

Changed out their warning signals
every few minutes. Although they
were close to the Amberjack they
could not be seen through the
