CHANGES MADE IN
TRUSTEE LIST BY
THE LEGISLATURE
Two Houses in Joint Session
Decide to Place Former
Governors on Board
COMMITTEE GETS REBUKE

The two houses of the legisla-
ture, in joint session Tuesday,
made several changes in the list
of University trustees submitted
by their committee three weeks
ago. This action was in the ma
ture of a rebuke to the commit
tee, whose selections had been
severely criticized.
Cameron Morrison and o. Max
Gardner, former Governors, who
had been omitted from the COM
mittee's list, were elected to the
board. Morrison replaced w.
Lunsford Long at Longs re-
quest, and Gardner replaced R..
Grady Johnson at Johnson's re-
quest.
The legislature has frequent
Iv been censured for electing it's
own members to the board,
and Representative Scarborough
made motion to exclude all
nominees who were members of
the 1888 legislature. This mo-
tiOn was defeated
William T. Hannah was sub
stituted for Senator Francis. Il
think there are too many mem
bers of the General Assembly on
the list" said Francis in propos-
ing Hannah.
Junius d. Grimes supplants
B. 3. Everett, brother of Repre-
sentative r. O. Everett, chair
man of the lower houses nomi-
mating committee. An effort to
put George Stephens on the
board instead of R. O. Everett
was unsuccessful.
Grady Rankin asked that Ar
thur Dixon be chosen in his
place, and this was agreed to-.
Capus Waynick declined nomi-
' nation and withdrew in favor of
John w. Clark. Mrs Annie
Moore Cherry and w. D. Fau-
cette were nominated upon the
withdrawal of Mrs. Thomas
O'Berry and w. Kerr Scott.
Senator Bailey's proposal that
W. R. Hampton be substituted
for Josephus Daniels was dis
approved. Bailey gave as his
reason for the proposal that
Daniels would be in Mexico for
a long time.
Eight members of the pres
ent legislature were elected to
the board: Senator'S Hayden
Clement, c. C. Efird, John D..
Beatty, and John w. Aiken, and
Representatives r. 0. Everett,
r. L. Harris (speaker of the
house,, Mrs. Lily c. Mebane, and

RECLAMATION SERVICE NOT
IN FAVOR Of FORCE ACCOUNT
Hewes Makes Report To District Board On
Washington Trip To Confer Upon Con-
struction Of Canal.

Having cleared the way for a
better understanding relative to
the contract for building the ALL
American canal, Evan T. HeWes,
chairman of the irrigation district
board of directors, returned from
Washington, D. c., this morning
and reported to his fellow directors
the results of his mission. M. J.
DoWd, district chief engineer who
accompanied Hewes has not as yet
returned to the valley.
HeWes said that he had discussed
the possibility of the reclamation
service doing the canal work on
force account with DR.. Elwood
Mead but was informed that the
service, in all probability would not
consider this method, nor would it
be favorable to the district acting
as its agent in the matter. II was
pointed out that bids coming IL at
present on public works are lower
than could be done by the service
and it was questioned whether any
Thing could be gained oy cost ac :
count work in building the canal.
He was told, however, that the
district might bid on this work

CITY HAS No
1915 BONDS

At a special meeting of the city
council held yesterday afternoon,
Dorsey Whitelaw, city attorney was
instructed to send a telegram to a
meeting of California city attor-
neys in Los Angeles at noon to-
day, asking that the results of
their deliberations be sent to the
El Centro city council by telegram.
This Los Angeles meeting had
been called to determine what ac-
ton California municipalities should
take relative to a rehearing before
the state supreme court on the
improvement bond act of 1915, or
possibly an appeal made directly to
the United States supreme court.
The local council was not great
ly concerned for the reason that its
assessments under this 1915 act are
all paid up. However, in the in
terest of other valley cities which
might be affected the council
wished this information.

BEVERLY HILLS, Nov. 8.
(SpeciaD-This country is COM
ing back. The best indication
was old Kentucky. She dis
posed of 16 at Tuesdays cleo
tions. That IS a mighty good
showing on what's called an
off election year. And when
you consider that they needn It
have voted at all, for prohibi-
ton had already been repealed
by 36 states.
Old Kentucky has a law
which gives the doctors the
benefit of the doubt. They
won't count votes or bodies till
the next day. Clubs were
welded and heads were dis
organized in New York too.
This is all a good omen. 1t
shows we are getting out of
our effeminate period OF vot-
ing, where you do nothing but
vote.
Led by the spirit of old Ken
lucky, we are returning to Am
erican principles-all but the
Carolinas.

SACRAMENTO. Nov. 10. - Hotel
dining rooms and other public eat
ing places cannot serve "hard -
liquor, under terms of California S
control act, but clubs and private
dining rooms will be given more
leeway, a study Of regulatory rules
revealed today.
In no establishment, however, can
bar be legally operated in the
old fashioned or speakeasy manner.
A bonafide club may have a bar,
and members may leave their
liquor with the bartender or in a
locker, and have the bartender
mix their drinks.
Provisions for operation OF CLUBS
were looked upon by hotel men as
medium of solving the liquor
serving problem, but members OF
the state board of equalization
pointed out that bonafide club
was non-profit organization,
owned equally by its members.
They doubted whether a large room
! in a hotel could be designated as a
club, without legally permitting
members to own a share of the
building. They doubted, also,
whether a hotel conducted club
would be operated on a non-profit
basis.
The question of legality of clubs
was expected to be placed before
the courts for a final decision as
to how far hotel owners and 9TH
ers may go toward providing drink
ing rooms for patrons.
Nothing but wine and beer may
be served or consumed publicly.
In private dining rooms, however,
parties engaging them may bring
and serve any kind of liquor. Pri-
vate dining rooms and legal clubs
are placed in practically the same
category as homes, where the use
of liquor is unrestricted.

LITTLE BOYS
STORY MERELY
BIC WH0PPER

LOS ANGEL ES, Nov. 10. UP)-
At the age of three, Bobby Nc
Clanahan moved April Fools day
just five months and fooled police
in two counties.
Two Los Angeles county detect
ives told about it today as they
returned from a 460-mile wild goose
chase into the desert where Bobby
had led them with a story that
"Papa lit mamma with big
stick and then buried her.
A chubby little fellow with big,
starry eyes and the face of a cher
ub, Bobby first spun the murder
yarn to his aunt, Mrs. Mabel
Brackney, after she found him in
a rooming house where he was de-
posted more than a month ago by
his father, Timothy McClanahan.
Alarmed by the boys story and the
fact she had not heard from his
parents, Mrs. Brackney trundled
him off to the sheriff IS office.
To detectives, Bobby repeated his
story.
An order was broadcast for Nc
Clanahan's IS arrest. Bobby wa S
dressed up in his Sunday best and
with his aunt was driven by Off
GERS to Baker, a tiny desert ham,
let in San Bernardino county where
his parents had lived.
The car halted in front OF small
cottage.
"In there" he pointed, scram-
bling out of the machine and run
ming into the house as fast as his
short legs would carry him. The
others followed and found him
clasped in the arms of his parents,
both we'll and happy. McClanahan
said he had left the boy in Los
Angeles because he couldn't keep
him at home while his wife was i'll.

CALIFORNIA; LIQUOR LAWS
DIFFICULT FOR HOTEL MEN

Establishments which serve liq-
uor or permit public consumption
may face withdrawal of their beer
and wine licenses and possible
charges Of law evasion.
Law Net Strict
There will be no strict law against
location of retail liquor stores in
hotels, provided the stores are Gin
the OPEN and available to the
public. Such stores might serve as
the source of supply to club men,
bers and private dining room par
ties.
The only "on sale' license to
be issued pertain to wine and beer
They will permit public serving and
consumption of those types of bev-
erage, and will cost $50 a year.
"Off sale' licenses, meaning Ii
censes for handling liquor in origi-
nal packages only. will be issued
both for wines and beer and for
hard liquor. The off sale Wines
beer license will cost $40 year,
while stores must pay 500 a year
to deal in other liquors.
Applications for licenses are
reaching the board Of equalization
daily, and the big rush is expected
to start late this month. Nobody
has estimated how many thousands
Of on sale beer-wine licenses and
off sale liquor licenses would be
issued, but in the latter case, there
will be practically no limit.
Individuals wishing to import
their own particular brand of liq-
uor must obtain an importers Ii
cense and pay 500 year. Indus
trial alcohol licenses, for amounts
under five. gallons, will cost $5; over
five gallons $50; medical alcohol
license 81.
Wholesale dealers license for
liquor other than beer or wine will
cost 500; for beer and wine $40
Wineries must pay $40 per year
breweries 81 and distilleries $50.
Imperial Valley press., 1933-11-10

just as any other contractor and
also that it could not be seen
where the district had anything to
gain by doing the work by force
account
DR. Mead stated that he will be
in Los Angeles on November Is
and II. at which, time he would
meet with the board, there, and
discuss with them the whole stu
alton. II was understood that the
district had moral right in this
matter as they ultimately must
pay the bill for the canal and
that before any bids might be let
for the work, or any part thereof
the district would be taken into
consultation to be sure that these
BIDS would be satisfactory.
Hewes stated further that Phil
Swing had created a very friendly
feeling among Washington officials
toward the canal project, many Of
whom told him that they had felt
| Just as happy as Swing had over
tbs happy outcome of the who'll
program. He praised his compan-
ion on the trip, DoWd, for the clea"
put tie different phases of the
proposition before the officials il
Washington, terming it a good job
iof craftsmanship.
Veterans Get Preference
Mark Rose felt that the distr,t
= hnJ ctr fnv.f n CO
cure the work by force account in
order that greater satisfaction
might be had. He pointed out the
unsatisfactory conditions existing
near Las Vegas relative to the
Boulder Dam construction work
and wished the canal contract to
be done IN such a way that these
evils might be done away with.
c. L. Ckilders, chief counsel for
the district. stated that HeweS and
DoWd had done much good by their
hurried trip to Washington, in that
they had gone over the preliminary
grounds and that now the board
should meet w:lh Mead in Los An
geles next week and definitely set
tie the matter
Hewes said that he had also gone
into the question of labor and
wages while discussing the major
! item of the contract. He was told
that no relief could be promised
against an influx of outside labor
when construction actually had
staI ted and that for ex-service men
there will be no restrictions what
ever-the ground will be laid wild
open. Wage scales, he was told.
will probably be the same as those
now prevailing in the county on
similar work elsewhere.
Following this report the boara
voted a resolution of thanks To
IeWes and Dowd for what they
had done in Washington and then
took up routine business matters.

BEACH
EDITOR FAIR
WITH VALLEY

Although criticism is often di-
rected at some coast newspapers
because of their unfriendly attitude
toward Imperial Valley Robert
Chamber of Commerce stated today
that there are a number Of papers
on the coast which are always eX-
tremely friendly to this conamu-
nifty, chief among which is The
Long Beach PresS-Telegram.
During the recent argument as
TO the fitness Of Colorado river
water for domestic purposes which
was Waged by two factions in Long
Beach, that newspaper las taken
a very fair stand in the matter,
Hays notes. Among the many
Items published concerning the ad-
visibility of using. the water from
the Colorado river and contrary
opinions was one open letter from
a woman who stated that in order
TO use this water for domestic pur-
poses in Imperial Valley it had to
be treated with such harsh pow
Gers that when visiting here she
found her hostess hands covered
with sores.
w. F.. Prist, editor of The Long
Beach Press-Telegram, commented
on this letter and pointed out that
Imperial Valley had been using
Colorado river water for a number
of wears and still maintains very
high health record Hays imme-
diately wrote Prist and commenced
him for mis- fair and friendly stand
in behalf of Imperial Valley and in
reply has received a cordial letter
from Editor Prist in which he
states, Your gracious letter COM
menting on the open communica-
ton and our published reply there
to is very gratefully acknowledged
ana highly appreciated. Long
Beach has a bitter fight on its
hands and we need all the help We
can get. Coming at this time of
general resentment against high
taxes and in the midst of serious
national and world depression, those
who favor withdrawal from the
Metropolitan District project have
fertile soil on which to scatter the
seeds of discomfort. We will be
pleased to receive any suggestions
that you may have in mind
Prist particularly asked that Hays
clear up The assertion which is re-
peatedly made in Long Beach that
10000 acres in Imperial Valley are
reverting to desert each year be-
cause of salt saturation due to use
of Colorado river water. Hays is
writing to Prist stating there is no
salt saturation in Imperial Valley
which can be ascribed to water
Of Colorado river. Any which eX
lists is from the bed OF an ancient
sea and is being corrected by drain
age.
In conclusion Prist states, eve
feel very strongly the community of
interest within the entire soutl west
and the building up of the Impe-
rial Valley always is q source of
inspiration to lis. Whenever we can
be of service please give us the
privilege to ;end hand"

mended that any herds accepting
indemnity under the Robson plan

BY JOSEPH II. BAIRD

WASHINGTON, Nov. 10. = Pres
ident Roosevelt and Foreign Com
missar Maxim Litvinov of the So
Wet Union met at the White House
today and talked for an hour on
the modes and conditions of Am
erican recognition of the Soviet
Union.
No final decision was made, but
the two announced that Litvinov
would see the President and the
state department officials again.
Officials at the department said
that no time had been scheduled
yet for the next meeting between
Litvinov and Secretary Hull, but ii
was expected shortly.
The White House announcement
said:
1.-The President and Mr.. Litvinoy
reviewed the question between the
two countries which had previously
been discussed between the secre-
tary of state and Mr.. Litvinov.
"These conversations with the
President and with the state de-
partment will continue in normal
course.o
American officials said that nc
serious obstacle had arisen and
that the negotiations were continu-
ing satisfactorily. It was pointed
out, however, that negotiations like
the present ones often are held ur
by discussion of minor technical
points.
Litvinov is understood to have
cabled Moscow the text of the
proposed agreement on recognition
It could not be learned whether
he had received his government s

TEACUE LAUDS
MIA PROGRAM

LOS ANGELES, Nov. 10. U.P) -
The agricultural adjustment and
the industrial recovery acts of Pres
ident RooSevelts recovery program
will become more and more" ap-
preciated as stimulants to recovery.
G. C. league of Santa Paula, presi-
dent of the state chamber of COM
merce, told the annual convention
in session here today.
There is much merit in these
acts Taegue said in his opening
address. LAS we get the perspective
Of time We'll appreciate more and
more what they did to stimulate
recovery. Both of them to an ex-
tent have been discredited by the
pronunciation of the Presidents
agreement or blanket codes This
latter undoubtedly was meant to
speed up the regular codes and IL
did but the result has been the
greatest of confusion"
"Hysteria" Of the NRA campaign
is rapidly declining TO the advan-
tage of the regular code movement,
the speaker said.
California will be a leader in the
recovery movement, spurred along
by prohibition repeal and the gov
ernments gold policy, in the opin-
ion of Joseph r. Knowland, Oak
land publisher and first vice-presl-
dent of the state chamber, He
urged that the state should not
lay back with the idea that the fed
eral government must be depend
ed upon for continued progress
