HEWES GIVES
HIS VIEWS ON
ADAMS RECALL

IN discussing his stand on The
Burleigh Adams recall situation,
Evan T. Hewes, director of the I'M
perial Irrigation district, made the
following statement to The Press:
"1n my opinion the inconsistency
OF the district political machine
was never better illustrated than
in its position Of the past few days.
while rantlng on the street cor
ners and i'll public meetings about
disfranchising voters through the
qualification bill, they have noG
only disfranchlsed the voters in
the BraWley district but have also
used their money, paid as taxes 70
operate the district, to pay counsel
10 use the courts for political plrr-
poses, thus perpctuating their ruth
less political machine and prevent
ing the district from being put on
a business basis.
such methods as these can only
result in the following conditions:
failure .tc pay taxes end destruction
Of the credit OF our district, FOR no
class of people will continue to pay
taxes any length of time without
representation.
1T is just such methods which
have killed the confidence of the
people in the district machine and
which have made the people refuse
10 support the machine either NOR
ally OF financially"

JAPAN STATES
ITS POSITION
Will Accept Roosevelt Peace
Plans If Recognition Given
To Manchukuo.
By MILES w. VAUGHN
United Press Staff Correspondent

TOXIC, May 19.-Japan will
hinge its acceptance of the Roose-
velt peace and disarmament doc
trines on tacit recognition of Man
chukuo by the United States and
other world powers, government
spokesman indicated today.
The spokesman said that If the
United States and the world pow
ers would recognize the Great Wall
of China as the southern boundary
of Manchukuo, it would be easier
fer Japan to pledge herself not to
cross the boundary of another coun-
try. One section of the Roosevelt
plan would bind powers to send no
troops across an alien border.
General recognition OF Manchu-
kuo'S boundaries would constitute
at least tentative recognition of the
state which japan is forging from
the Chinese provinces of Manchuria
and Jehol. Japanese troops are
carrying on extensive operations in
China proper, below the Great Wall
in exchange for Manchukuoan rec
cgnition.
The spokesman said the bound
aries of Manchukuo are indefinite,
and in failing to recognize its spe-
cial position, Roosevelt failed to
recognize actual conditions" in the
Orient.
Japan probably will accept the
Roosevelt doctrine in principle. but
will make numerous reservations,
the spokesman said. The principle
of nations pledging not to cross
another's frontiers was laudablc, he
believed.
The Japanese government does
rot believe that Roosevelt was aim
ing at japanese military operations
in China or it's activities in formu-
lating the state of Manchukuo, but
considers that he sought primarily
to forestall an armament declara-
ton by German Chancellor Adolf
Hitler, the spokesman said.

AWAIT RULING
IN INJUNCTION
Hearing On Second Petition In
Adams P!ecall Case Conducted
In Superior Court.

With a continuation granted by
the court until this afternoon for
further argument, the hearing on
the petition of L. c. Singeltary for
an injunction against F. H. Nc
Iver, secretary, and the board of
directors of the Imperial Irrigation
District from proceeding with the
certification of a second recall pc
tition against Burleigh E. Adams,
one of the directors, was opened
before Judge Thompson this morn
ing.
The court had granted a tempoi'-
airy restraining order against the
defendants on Wednesday and had
set today for the time of hearing.
s. P. Williams, attorney for two
of the defendants named in the
petition, opened the argument to
the court by stating that a demur-
rer had been filed which he asked
the court to consider. He related
the history of the litigation to date
and questioned that the appeal
taken on the decision in the first
petition for recall, can have any
effect on this present recall action.
He decried the lack of sports
manShip in valley politics as shown
by the continuous chain of litiga-
tion which has followed the intro
duction of the first petition and
stated that the people of the fourth
district have right to file a recall
petition against an official when
they feel such action is just and
proper
A. C. Finney, appearing for the
petitioner, argued that there can
not be two good and sufficient Pc
titionS before the secretary of the
board at one and the same time.
The first must be disposed of be-
fore the second one could be con-
Sidered.
Williams replied to this by say
ing that it might be two or mere
years before this appeal could be
acted upon by the supreme court
and by that time Adams term as
a director would have expired and
the purpose of the petition would
have been nullified.
D. B. Roberts, attorney for three
members of the board, stated that
the appeal had been made in good
faith and that it was being prose-
cuted before the supreme court
with all diligence.
The court stated that too many
recall petitions at one and the same
time tended to create confusion to
the detriment of the public and
officials alike. He reserved judg-
ment until further argument by
counsel.

River waters, mounting higher

Young Slayer
Sent To Prison

NEW YORK, May 10. W.P)-
Harry Murch, boy gang leader, was
sentenced to 20 years to life i'm
prisonment today for the murder of
12-year-old William Bender, whom
he bound, gagged, stabbed and left
in an abandoned house.
Murch was convicted last week,
an important piece of evidence
against him being his own state
ment made to detectives telling of
the manner in which the Bender
boy was killed.
Murch had a grudge against the
boy because, he charged, William
and his father told stories about
Murch. Luring the Bender boy to
an empty house on the pretense
that he wanted to rehearse the
holdup of a peanut man, Murch
persuaded Bender to submit to
binding and gagging. Then, with
Bender mute, it was charged,
Murch stabbed him.
When the body was found and
an ambulance arrived to take it
away, Murch walked rapidly away
from the neighborhood. His COM
panions naturally ran toward the
changing ambulance. So unusual
did Murch S conduct seem for a
boy that he was arrested. He con-
fessed that night, detectives said.

JAPAN READY
To CALL HALT
Will End Invasion OF China
Proper If No Further Attacks
Are Launched.
By HERBERT r. EKINS
United Press Staff Correspondent

PEIPING, May 10 japanese
troops are ready to halt their ad-
vance into China proper, the Jap
anese legation announced today in
reporting that Chinese troops had
taken up new defense lines exted-
ing from Shunyi, 20 miles north to
Peiping. through Tungchow, 13
miles to the east, and t>lence south
eastward through Luati toward the
sea.
S. Nakayama, charge daffairs Of
the legation, based his announce
ment on the assumption that Chi
nese troops would make no attacks
on japanese. If there are further
attacks there may be further ad-
vances. he said. 1t there are no
more attacks, japanese troops will
continue to hold an area within
China proper equivalent to the area
of the state of New Jersey, pend
ing assurances that they will not
be molested. Eventually they will
retire to the Great Wall, he said.
japanese troops were taking up
positions along a line from Miyun-
hsien, won from the Chinese after
days of sanguinary fighting, to a
location north of Tunghcow and
southeastward through Tang-Shan
toward the sea.
Nakayama said airplane recon-
noiterS indicated the Chinese with
drawal was orderly, unaccompanied
by fighting. The retreat was ap-
proimately II miles along a front
of approximately $50 miles.
Rumors of a truce between the
japanese military command and
the Chinese Nanking government,
circulated freely for week, ap-
pearel to be partly verified. Naka-
yama's statement that the shifting
of positions was carried out in or
derly fashion and without fight
ing caused observers to suggest full
fillment of pre-arranged plan.
Nakayama issued his statement
after single Japanese military
plane had circled. over Peiping for
over an hour, receiving signals from
the Japanese legation guard sta
toned at the edge of the diploma
tic quarter.

kets routed by tear gas bombs
hurled today by Sheriff C. c. Pric-
kett and so deputies on the high
way leading to the National mine
at Middlegrove.
The pickets hooted when order
ed to diSperSe. AS cloud of chok-
ing gas floated down the road, the
picket ranks broke and men, wom-
en- and children struggled through
fences and fled over adjacent
fields.
The clash was another in the
long series of mine disturbances
occasioned by factional strife be-
tween rival unions. United Mine
Workers of America are employed
at the National mine. The pickets
were members Of or sympathizers
with the Progressive Miners of Am
erica.
After the pickets were routed,
deputies escorted workers to the
mine shaft.

NATIONS SEEK
STERILIZATION
Of CURRENCY
Major Powers Considering Way
To Assure Success Of London
Economic Conference.
SCRAMBLE FOR MARKETS
Each Country Seeking Low
Money In Effort To Capture
Trade OF World.
By JOSEPH III. BAIRD
United Press Staff Correspondent

By JOSEPH III. BAIRD
United Press Staff Correspondent
WASHINGTON, May 19.-The
United States and other major
powers, in new effort to facili-
tate success of the London econom-
iv conference, were striving today
for early stabilization of their cur
rencieS.
The agreement being considered
in conversations here would peg
the dollar, pound and other curren-
cies at definite levels before the
London conference meets on June
II 1t would keep them stable while
the conference works out perman-
ent agreements.
Despite the tariff truce, diplo-
mats feel readjuStment of tariffs at
the conference will be difficult un-
less fluctuations of currency are
stopped. Many tariffs rise and fall
with foreign exchange. France par
ticularly specified that it accepted
the tariff truce on condition that
it might raise its tariffs if the dol
lar or the pound dropped Violent
ly and thus gave British and AM
erican exporters easier access to
French markets.
With each country seeking to
keep its currency low in order to
make its goods cheap on the world
market, it is understood no decis-
ion has been reached as to the rates
at which major currencies will be
pegged.
Sterilization at approximately
the present levels is being consid-
cred. This would place the dollar
at about IS cents in relation to gold
currencies, and the pound at around
$500 in United States money.
Japan may be brought into the
sterilization bloc. Ambassador De-
buchi Indicated that stabilization
of the yen would be one OF the
foremost questions that Viscount
Kikijuro Ishii will discuss in his
forthcoming economic conversa-
tions with President Roosevelt.
Little Nations Meet
Disclosure of the currency stab
ilization plan was accompanied by
word that Roumania, Czechoslova-
kia, Yugoslavia, Hungary and Lith-
uania, expected to meet at Buch-
Arrest on June to consider policies
they will urge at London regarding
tariffs production and prices OF
wheat. These countries, all sizeable
producers of grain, were not invit-
ed to the recent four power wheat
conference at Geneva.
While these developments marked
preparations for the London con-
ference, additional cordial respon-
ses to President Roosevelt's world
wide appeal for peace and disarm-
ament encouraged officials to hope
for early signature of an arms trea-
ty at Geneva. Norman H. Davis,
American ambassador at large"
was there today to sponsor the Pre-
sident's plan for a non-aggression
treaty and drastic curtailment of
offensive weapons.
Italy was among the latest to
pledge support to Mr.. Roosevelt's
goal. Ambassador Rosso in note
to the state department said his
government was ready to join the
American government and the other
governments in order to reach in
the most expeditions and efficient
way the realization of the Ameri-
can initiative.
