SUFFICIENT LABOR HERE

Acting at the suggestion of local labor
officials and the chamber of commerce,
the federal department of labor office at
Los Angeles has sent out warnings
against unemployed men coming to I'm
perial Valley in the hope of getting work
on the All-American canal.
J. II. Fallin, in charge of the Los An
geles office, has been informed of the
true conditions existing here and is CO.
operating to the best of his ability in dis
couraging an influx of job-hunters.
Valley newspapers have also cooper
ated, by sending out to the various news
services requests that they spread word
throughout the nation by means of the
papers they serve, an admonition for
lahorers to stay away from Imperial
Valley unless they are able to obtain Jobs
before leaving home.
Imperial county has its own unem-
ployment problem to deal with and there
are enough men here to fill all labor de-
mands that may be created by construc-
ton of the canal.
With the several agencies mentioned
above doing their share to keep outside
laborerS away, it is up to Imperial Val
ley residents to cooperate in the same
manner. There have been instances of
valley residents writing to relatives or
friends in other parts of the country,
telling them of the canal and indicating
a hope that work may be found here.
In other cases local residents have re-
ceived requests from friends and rela-
tives elsewhere, asking what the chances
are of getting employment on the canal
Valley residents should not voluntar-
lily write to outsiders suggesting work
may be had here and if they are asked
about the chances of getting employ
ment on the canal the best course is to
tell the truth and discourage anyone
from holding hope in this respect.

(Unitcd Press StAM correspondent Berlin, April 1--(UP)--The Nazl boycott of Jewish industry and commerce was reported 100 per cent complete in Berlin at noon to- day.
 Two hours after the edict clamp ing down q closure on all places of business owned by Jews went into effect, the stoppage of all trade with prescribed elements of the population had been completed in many other cities as well as in Berlin.
 In many quarters of Berlin, q "holiday" seemed to be in prog ress.
 The boycott was orderly during the first hours. Reports from out lying cities indicated there was little more excitement than on an ordinary election day.
 In Berlin, iron-clad, discipline was enforced among the browh shirted Nazis who closed Jewish stores and stood guard to prevent customers from entering.
 The guards, stationed in twos and threes as pickets, carried pla- cardS inviting Germans to defend yourselves against Jewish atrocity propaganda"
 Many of Berlin's larger stores posted signs in black and red, in- forming tourists of the boycott and explaining the situation in

REVENUE OFFICE
 HERE CAN'T GIVE
 OUT BEER PERMITS
Many Have Applied There Says James McGrath, in Charge of Local Reve- nue Bureau Can Give No Information

Many inquiries have been made by local persons regarding permits to sell beer at the offices of the department of internal revenue in this city, James McGrath, in charge of the Waterbury division, revealed this morning. Since the signing of the beer bill by Presi- dent Roosevelt. more than a dozen persons appear daily at the local office for permits to sell beer.
 Very little information can be offered to the license seekers ns de- tails regarding the sale of beer arc not known to the internal revenue department. Years ago before pro- hibition camo into effect, the local police issued tax permits to liquor dealers. This practice was given up after prohibition and permits were issued only to drug store owners to sell liquor for medicinal purposes. This practice was also abolished three years ago when tho bureau of industrial alcohol was formed to take over tho distribu- ton of permits to druggists.
 Less than 12 persons were in the office yesterday to take advantage of filing their income tax returns. All income tax returns were due March 15, but due to the bank hol- iday, the government extended the time, to March 31, charging only q very small amount of interest to those who paid during tho exten- sion period. The majority of Wa terbury people. however. paid their taxes before the extension period.

Boston Policemen Invent It and His First Trial Proves to Be Quite Suc- ceSSful

Boston, April 1-(UP)-The prospect of riding to jail on q "magic carpet" faces Charlestown's boy speeders of the future. For years, boys had raced stolen ,au- tomobiles. with sirens scrcecbing through the streets of that section at mile-a-minute speed in open defiance of police.
 Authorities sought to curb the practice but their efforts were in vain until Pati olman Hilary Casper of Station 15 turned inventor. He invented what he called q magic carpet" and last night it was test ed for the first time. A stolen car in which two 1S-year-old youths were racing was sighted by Casper on Bunker Hill street. At is ap- preached, he unrolled across the street his magic carpet'--a 30- foot strip of leather studded with needie-p point nails. Three tires blew out. The car veered crazily and crashed into a grocery store. Its occupants were arrested.
