PARIS FINDS
MORE BOMBS
Madman Sending Deadly Mis-
sives Through Mails Causes
Reign Of Terror.
BY RALPH HEINZEN
United Press Staff COrreSnondent


PARIS, June 15.-Dynamite
bombs, mailed by madman with a
deadly hatred of present political
conditions and trends, seeped today
through Gordon of 5000 police,
secret service and post office de-
tectives and terrorized industrial
Paris.
A bomb exploded in the office Of
the Citroen Automobile company as
mail clerk unwrapped the pack
age which contained it.
Other bombs were discovered at
the Pathe Cinema company offices
and Venus Lead Pencil office, where
there are several American officials,
and at the branch post office in
the Place de Ia Bastille.
Police authorities planned a watch
on all mail boxes in Paris if neces-
sary to stop the pague of the dead
ly bombs, some strong enough, if
exploded properly, to destroy a
building.
Bombs found today were delivered
in the morning mail, and they pen
etrated virtual wall of watching
experts at the post offices, detailed
to open all suspicious looking pack
ages after the first bomb was found
Wednesday.
AS soon as today's bombs were
found, more detectives were assign
ed to watch outside all postoffices
for persons, who dropped mail into
the boxes in front of the buildings.
Inside the post offices, thousands
of harmless rolls of magazines and
catalogues were turned over to the
police laboratory. The maniac sends
the bombs in catalogues of NUM-
tions company and wraps them SO
that the person opening them will
release spring which detonates a
cap and causes the dynamite to ex-
plode.
With each bomb found, there is
the same message:
"We are striking without dis
tinction of age, sex or rank at the
French people until they learn they
have no right to be severe with
thieves of pocket handkerchiefs." -
interpreted as protest against dis
honesty in government.
Each is signed: "Three judges
from hell"

cate reminder to Hitler that he
may not legally arm his brown
shirts under the Versailles treaty.
Hitler Pale
Hitler and Baron Konstantin
Won Neurath, his foreign minister,
were escorted to special pavilion,
gay with Italian and Fascist
flags and pennants. Hitler, pale,
with disordered hair, was in blue
serge business suit.
Mussolini and Hitler stood to-
gether and Mussolini gave the or
der for the march past Hitler
was treated to a new sort of salute
for him-that of the Fascist ord
erlies, who raised their daggers as
if about to strike an enemy.
Then came the light legions at
faster pace with rifles Slung on
their backs, then the mobile ma
chine gun units, then the chemi-
Gals, then the advance guard with
their red and gold scarfs hung on
their shoulders, and the Balilla.
A contingent OF Fascist universe
ty students attracted Hitler, with
their varicolored hats and their
military formation.
There we're three bands to blare
out the spirited marches of Italy.
After the review the Fascist
chief took the Nazi chief to the
adjoining royal palace through
lanes of cheering people who looked
as if they had been stationed
there.

IiARRIGAN DENIES THREAT

Verbal fireworks composed chief
1y of accusations as to alleged crook
edneSs on the part of certain public
officials and other charges were set
off during special meeting of the
beard of supervisors held at the
court house last night.
This meeting had been called by
the board to determine the identity
of the public official who had been
quoted by General Pelham D. Glass
ford as having said that he could
be done away with for less than $50.
The general was asked to name
the county officials who had made
this statement to him. At first
Glassford declined to name the man
but finally stated that B. A. Harri-
gan, county agricultural commits
sioner was the one.
Harrigan denied the charge and
countered with the statement that
Glassford had, in his presence, stat
ed that Judge Vaughn Thompson
and Elmer Heald, district attorney,
were crooks At the insistence of
Judge Thompson, Glassford retract-
ed this statement.
This morning the district attor-
ney stated that at the time the ac-
cusation against him was made by
Glassford he asked what was meant
by the word "crook,' adding that in
the eight years he has held public
office here no one has ever accused
him of being dishonest or crooked.
Heald said he feels that while he
possibly has made political enemies
during that time he has made no per-
sonal enemies and believes no one
in the county could accuse him of
being dishonest or crooked.
GlasSford, according to Head, ex-
planned the meaning of his words
by saying that by accusing Heald.
Thompson and Sheriff Campbell of
being crooked he did not mean that
they took money or bribes or had
done anything dishonest in office
but merely that in their actions
they were controlled by certain
groups or interests in the county,
namely the farmers and producers.
Head Makes Denial
Heald denies this insinuation,
stating that in the performance of
his duties as district attorney he is
absolutely free of any control from
any source or group.

GOOD ADVICE AS
TO IMPROVEMENT
OF ROADSIDES

Local materials for roadside Inn
provement can be utilized at COM
paratively low cost, says Wilbur Fl.
SimOnson, landscape architect of the
bureau Of public roads. United States
Department of Agriculture. Such
materials include boulders or native
stone for guard rails. suitable plant
material salvaged in the path of con-
struction operations, trees and I'M
dergrowth carefully trimmed in con-
trast with haphazard cutting, and
other such objects naturally adapted
TO the landscape.
The use Of approved landscape and
horticultural specifications for trees
and plants for roadside improve
ments is the best safeguard In the
planning and execution of roadside
improvements, says Mr.. Simonson.
Cooperation between all parties en-
gagged in planning the work is neces-
sary to insure final harmony and at
tractive results.
For the price of a single mile Of
highgrade road surface 30 miles Of
roadside can be improved. This esti-
mate by Mr.. Simonson is based ON
plant materials obtained through fair
competitive bids, unified control of
highway building so that construc-
ton scars are avoided, side slopes
graded during construction opera
tions to tit landscape requirements,
and the salvaging of valuable tree
growth.
Mr.. Sim6nson calls attention to the
Importance of parking places, spring
outlets, ratings, and other such fea-
lures that the motorist sees and en-
joys which are not necessarily more
expensive when attractively de-
veloped.
