SAYS HOOVER
WAS MISTAKEN
Senator Couzens States His Ad-
ministration Believed Myth
About Prosperity.
BY JAMES C. AUSTIN
United Press Staff CORRESPONDENT

United Press Staff Correspondent
DETROIT, Aug. 18-Firm belief of
Hoover's administration that pros
perity was just around the corner
led federal officials to permit banks
to continue operations against the
letter of the law, Senator James
Couzens told the grand jury prob
ing bank failures in Detroit today.
Everyone from Hoover down,
Couzens testified, felt that pros
perity was just around the corner.
That better times were coming.
THE attitude of federal officials
was that it might be better to give
the banks the chance rather than
to close Them
The senaor explained that feder-
al officials realized that many of
the assets of banks. listed as unde-
sirable, were deprecated due to the
depression and that they would APP
preciate, with return of good times,
sufficiently to place them again in
favored position.
Between $35, 900 100000 and $4O,-
600, 100000 of deposits in various
banks in the country have never
been affected because these banks
were soundly managed" he Said.
THAT is the difference between
good banking and the vile specu-
lation here in Detroit.
1.-The debacle (the Detroit bank
failures) was due to an orgy of
high finance. I know of no other
city where there was such pyra-
miding, where theye were created
such fictitious values"
To the question OF Prosecutor
Harry S. Toy that "the government
must have had a hand in this orgy
of high finance" Couzens explained
that the government has no lawful
right to interfere before loans are
made. He said millions of dollars
were loaned in Detroit by banks
upon their own stock-"a violation
of law"
THE government was not dele
gated by laaw to dictate the wisdom
of consultations, he added in ex-
planning that much of the high fl
nance to which he referred was the
wholesale consolidation of banks
during the boom times.

WATER FIGHT
TO BE TAKEN
INTO COURTS

LOS ANGELES, Aug 10. U.H -
Climaxing long controversy over
ownership of underground water in
the San Fernando valley, the Los
Angeles board of water and power
today prepared to file suits against
The cities OF Glendale and Burbank
to prevent them from withdrawing
water from the valley.
The water board bases its claim
to ownership of the water on the
fact that the valley basin is used
to store water brought from the
Owens valley through the Los An
geles aqueduct, and that the city
maintains pumping equipment IN
the valley to withdraw this water
when needed.
During the lengthy dispute be-
tween the municipalities, the board
has sought to induce Glendale and
Burbank to pay 3ls cents per 100
cubic feet of water pumped from
the Los Angeles riverbed.
Burbank offered to pay IL cents
per 100 cubic feet for water in ex-
cess of the amount now being with
drawn.
Because the offer was unaccept-
able, the water and power board
ordered the suits filed.

DENVER KEEPS
CLOSE WATCH
ON CANISTER

DENVER, Colo, Aug. ID. up -
While heavily armed guards today
stood outside the Jail cell of Albert
l.. Bates, after an escape attempt,
federal agents were reported to be
tracing his activities in belief he
and Harvey Bailey might have been
implicated in the kidnapping and
Staying of the infant son of Col.
Charles A. Lindbergh.
Belief that U. S. government Sec
ret operatives suspected Bates in
the Lindbergh case grew when it
was learned two federal men ar
rived here secretly soon after his ar
rest.
These men, it was reported, were
the two who were given a life as
signment" to solve the Lindbergh
case.
They were believed enroute to
Dallas, Tex, where Bailey is held
as chief of the Charles Urschel kid
mapping in Oklahoma City. Bates
also is accused of having partici-
pated in the Urschel kiI aping and
in the Kansas City union station
massacre
Police Chief Albert T. Clark an
nounced that three sawed bars
were discovered in Bates cell.
Clark plainly was nervous over
the presence in his Jail of one of
the nations most notorious ma
chine gunners. Ever since he was
informed that Bates was the in
famous Bates of the Bailey gang he
has used great precaution in guard
ing his prisoners.
Fear that George machine Gum
Kelley and Vernon Miller, two prom
inent confederates in crime with
Bates and Bailey, would make a
desperate attempt to liberate Bates
has dwelt in the minds of Denver
police. Miller and Kelley were
known to have been in Denver re-

they still may be.

FARM BUREAU
URGES SLASH
IN TAX RATE

Reductions in both the county
budget and the county tax rate for
the current year we're advocated at
a meeting Of the tax committee of
the Imperial County Farm bureau
held at the court house yesterday.
The committee had before it for
consideration the tentative budget
drawn up by the board of super
visors.
This plan and the county tax
rate are to be brought up before
the board at a meeting on Monday
at which time it is expected that
The final draft of the budget will
oe approved and the tax rate de-
termined.
While approaching The difficult
ties under which the supervisors
must work in conducting the af-
fairs of the county the committee
felt that a feasible plan might be
worked out by which the requested
reductions could be effected.
The sales tax now in operation
will relieve farm lands of much of
the great burden of taxation, it was
pointed out, but the committee
seeks still other means by which a
further reduction in taxes may be
had.

OPEN HEARINGS
ON AUTO CODE

WASHINGTON, Aug. 10. U.H -
Hugh S. Johnson, recovery admill-
istrator, opened the automotive in
dustry code hearing today with a
demand for prompt agreement and
thrust at failure of the Ford Mo-
tor company to be represented.
Without direct reference to Fol u,
the recovery leader said he regret
ted that the industry was not 100
per cent represented and warned
that in administration Of the code
no exceptions would be made in the
drive TO place blue eagles on every
automobile.
"It is appropriate" johnson said,
that this industry should join with
a fervor of enthusiasm in the ma
tional recovery movement because
of the pent up demand for Its prod
ucts.
1.-The national desire of America
to place itself on wheels makes
adoption of This code a matter OF
national necessity. On the eve OF
this contamination I wish you well. i"
The open shop clause in the pro-
posed code was the main point of
controversy as hearings started.
There was a general feeling
among manufacturers present, how
ever, that there would be little de-
lay in adopting code.
