Goree states: 1.-The administra-
ton of the Home Owners Loan Act
is to be administered in Imperial
Valley in a purely partisan and
impartial manner. While the act
is a humanitarian one to a certain
degree, the collateral is essential tc
the securing of the loan and the
degree of distress to which the
home owner has been placed is to
be a determining factor as to Whe-
ther the loan will be made. Those
who are in the greatest degree of
distress and likely 20 lose their
homes are those who will receive
first consideration.
1.-The act includes only home
owners and up to four family quar-
ters and small acreage used essen
TALLY for home purpose outside Of
corporate limits. 1t provides for
payment of delinquent taxes, pay
ment to the mortgage in bonds for
tile face of his mortgage and for
necessary repairs to put the dwell
ing in a loanable condition. This
should stimulate some work and be
of considerable Importance to tax
paying agencies in the valley.
"While the operation of the act
in Imperial Valley will of necessity
be slow, the loans will be complet-
ed in as prompt manner as possible
and the management asks the CO.
operation of the public, as we'll as
the banks, title companies and 9TH
er loan institutions in aiding us in
contracting those who are worthy at
this time, SO that their needs can
be cared for and homes saved if
endangered by foreclosure.

An extensive campaign to drive out
gangSters with one smashing blow
took a spectacular new turn today
when all former convicts living in
Los Angeles county were ordered

ergency measure threatening impri-
sonment of any eX-convict who ig-
more the registration injunction. The
penalty was stipulated at six months

tum, Howard Davis, president of
the council, promised to support
the measure.

|. ITS RIGHT To
INTERVENTION
Administration Will Oppose
Any Move To Cut Platt Amend
ment From Cuban Constitution.
ORDERLY NATION ESSENTIAL
Hulps Statement Declares Will
ingness To Recognize Stable
Government.
BY JOSEPH ii. BAIRD
limited Press Staff C0rrf anndef nj

United Press Staff Corrt/pondent
WASHINGTON, Sept. II. - The
United States will maintain it's
right to intervene in Cuban affairs,
it was made clear today in official
quarters. America will not consent
to the removal of the Platt amend
ment from the Cuban constitution
which gives this country the right
to intervene. Some Cuban political
leaders have threatened the amend
ment.
An orderly Cuba is considered so
vital to the United States from
military and commercial stand
points that officials regard the
amendment as a keystone of AM
erican policy.
While Americas insistence on re-
tention of the amendment was
made clear, Secretary of State Hull
in a formal statement said the
United States ''is prepared to well
come any (Cubam government re-
presenting the will of the people
of the republic and capable of
maintaining law and order
throughout the island
The statement indicated the Uni
ted States stands ready to recog-
nize the new regime of President
Grau San Martin when and if it
shows it can fulfill these condi-
tionS.
THE chief concern of the govern
ment of the United States is and
has been, that Cuba solve her own
political problems in accordance
with the desires of the Cuban peo-
pie themselves" Hull said.
! 1T would seem unnecessary to
repeat that the government has no
interest in behalf of or prejudice
against any political group or in
dependent organization which is to-
day active in the political life of
Cuba"
NatiOnalists Threaten
The government of President
Grau San Marin has not declared
for abrogation of the Platt amend
ment, consequently the issue has
not arisen officially, but reports
from Havana quote orators of the
ultra Nationalist groups as threat
ening to shake off all American
interference with Cuban affairs.
! Observers see indications of q
movement among some Cubans not
only to scrap the Platt amend
ment, but also to repudiate obliga-
tions to American banks and bond
holders. Grau said he respected in
! oernational obligations, but could
not predict what would be done by
the proposed Cuban constitutional
convention.
! Remuneration of the Platt amend
ment, to be valid from the Ameri-
can viewpoint, would have to be
approved by the U. S. congress as
we'll as by Cuba. There is little
belief here that congress would ap-
prove.

Reports of 17,400 second feet of

the water shortage and hope that

1t is impossible to determine how

IScal storms in the vicinity OF
Grand Canyon are believed to be
responsible for the rise in the river
as no storms were reported In the

welcome flood water to the Colo

Proration will continue until the

MOVIE CODE

WASHINGTON, Sept. r. W.P)-
The proposed code for the motion
picture industry will boost wages
above 1929 levels, and substantially
increase employment, Will H. Hays
said at an NRA hearing on the
agreement today.
Hays, president of the Motion
Picture Producers and Distributors
of America, Inc, explained details
of the code at opening of the hear
ing. More than 600 representatives
of industry groups were present.
The code was filed in two parts,
the first proposed by the producers
and distributors, and the second by
exhibitors. The code wage scales,
Hays said, not only meet the NRA
objective of restoring 1929 wage
levels but will increase wages in
the producers and distributors sec
ton from II to Is per cent above
that year with similar increases for
the distribution department. He
predicted the code also would in
crease employment to the 1929 lev
IioduSClo lloVN
had these labor provisions in force
for several weeks, Hays said.
Hays said the industry employs
100000 persons and produced last
year 474 features and about 1,450
short films in the United States. In
the making of single motion pic
ture 276 different industries are in
volved, Hays said. The pay roll of
the eight major companies is S135.-
100000 annually.
The code proposed 40-hour week
for unskilled and clerical labor and
36 hours for skilled labor. Although
specifying a minimum wage of 40
cents, the actual minimum was said
by Hays to be far above that figure
even for lower class labor.
The right of collective bargaining
is recognized in the code which also
abolishes child labor. The process
Of "raiding' rival studios for stars
is labeled an unfair practice.

THREE STATES
VOTING TODAY
UPON REPEAL
Colorado, Maryland And Mimi
esota Expected To Join Wet
Ranks By Night.
MAINE HEEDS STEIN SONG
Dry Stronghold Votes To Fill
1t Up In Accordance With
Vallee's Invitation.
BY THE UNITED PRESS

Colorado, Maryland and Mime
sofa voted today on repeal of the
18th amendment. TWenty-siX states
already have voted wet. Repeal
leaders expected by tonight to be
necessary to abolish national pro-
hibition.
Virtually complete returns from
Maine IS repeal election yesterday
gave repeal a better than 2 to
majority. All Is counties apparently
were wet.
The only doubtful state among
the three voting today was Min
nesota where drys have staged an
extensive campaign. Andrew Vol
stead, author of the VolStead act,
was among the speakers. Vets how
ever, insisted that Minnesota was
with them and impartial observers
were inclined to agree
Maryland and Colorado were both
regarded as irrevocably wet Mary
land was pioneer in the revolt
against the 18th amendment and
has been considered wringing wet
for years. Colorado, until recently,
was firm to the dry cause.
If the apparently irresistible
trend toward repeal which bowled
over the traditionally dry sentiment
OF Maine, continues unbroken re-
peal will become an accomplished
fact Dec. 6.
New Mexico and Idaho vote next
Tuesday. Virginia votes Oct. 8, Flo
rida Oct. 10, and Ohio, Pennsyl-
vania, North and South Carolina,
Kentucky and Utah Nov. 7. The
repealistS may lose two and still
have the necessary 36.
Actual repeal must await the 36th
state convention that ratifieS the
2lst (repeaD amendment. Ohio, on
Dec. 4, will be the 33rd state to hold
d convention. The following day,
Pennsylvania holds it's convention,
and Dec. 6 North and South Caro-
Ina and Maine hold theirs.
PORTLAND, Me, Sept. r. U.P,
Maine, next to Kansas, the dri-
sst of the states, repudiated ma
tional prohibition today by a ma
Jorlty or better than two to one.
All 16 courSies apparently were
wet.
Returns from 557 of the states
632 precincts gave:
For repeal, 114,37S.
Against repeal, 52,348
The vote represented a reversal
of dry sentiment entrenched for
almost a century. Maine was the
first state to have prohibition with
in its own borders.
The wet trend was even visible
in returns from the rural districts
where dry leaders had been certain
of victory. Some rural boxes were
overwhelming for repeal. Only
handful were dry and these by

DEPUTY SLAIN
BY MISTAKE IN
NIGHT BATTLE

LOS ANGELES, Sept. IL. U.P-
A furious gun battle in the whole
sale district early today resulted in
the killing of a deputy sheriff and
perhaps fatal injuries to a ware
house checker when each mistook
the other for a bandit.
John Hedge, deputy sheriff, was
almost instantly killed when struck
by four bullets fired by Frank Cha
vez, checker, and Norman Krut-
chick, night foreman. Chavez, with
six slugs in his body, was expect
cd to die in police receiving hos
pital. Krutchick was unhurt.
Hedge, with Roland Bennecke,
former clerk in the sheriff's office
was taking two women to their
homes.
The deputy stopped the automo-
bile In the shadow of the huge
warehouse and left it momentarily.
Bennecke said he heard a move
ment on the opposite side of the
loading dock and then Chavez
cried a challenge to the deputy.
A moment later a volley of shots
broke out and Bennecke, with the
women, Virginia Fidroeff, 20, and
Dorothy Heidel, II, sought refuge
behind a freight car.
Krutchick came to the aid of
Chavez, and fired at the. point from
where Hedge was shooting. He
told authorities he had Chavez run
to the rear of the warehouse when
they thought they heard someone
attempting to break in.
Although Hedge fired only five
shots. six bullets were found in
Chavez body. 1t was though pos
sible he had been struck accidentally
by another shot fired by Krut-
ohick

AUSTRIA MAY
GET DICTATOR
Dolfuss Makes Strong Speech
Indicating Intention To Fol-
low Mussolini's Path.

VIENNA, Sept. IL. UP)-Chan-
cellor Engelbert Dollfuss headed
Austria toward fascist dictatorship
today. He sought to solidify nation
al spirit to combat the German Nazi
movement.
Dollfuss hoped to win over the
Austrian Nazis who have sought
German aid against him and at
the same time fight communism
which he opposes with equal in
tensity.
The diminutive Chancellor, out
lined his plans indirectly at mass
meeting yesterday, an advance eel
ebration of the September IL holi-
day commemorating the rout of the
Turks besieging Vienna in the 18th
century.
Proclaiming the death of the par
lidmentary system and denouncing
Naziism with heat, Dollfuss said that
austria must revert to the Medieval
guild system.
The fascists corporations in Italy
are modelled after the guilds. Thus
Dollfuss, confronted by the exigen-
cies of politics with the choice of
Italian Fascism or German Naziism
chose to follow Benito Mussolini.
DollfusS in his speech, made to
10000 people at the race track, de-
nounced the parliamentary system
and Naziism alike. Austria wished
to be friends with Germany, he
said, but it must be an honorable
friendship in which Austria must be
free.
BERLIN, Sept. II. U.P)-A truce
between Austrian Chancellor Engel-
bert Dollfuss and the Austrian Nazis
exiled in Germany was thought pos
sible today.
Formation of a fascist govern
ment in Austria, along Italian Fas-
ClSt lines, was regarded as permit
ting inclusion of Austrian Nazi rep
reSentatives in strong national
government.
Recent announcements of Doll
fuss, of Theo Habicht, leader of Au-
strian Nazis and Adolf Hitler IS con-
tact man with Austrian NaziS, and
Of certain German Nazi leaders were
seen as providing basis for neg
citations calculated to end the pres
ent enmity between DollfusS ano
