PLANS MADE
BY SINCLAIR

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 12. U.H
Upton Sinclair, Democratic can
didate for governor of California,
arrived here today after an ex-
tended stay in Washington, D. c.,
where he conferred with federal
officials on his "Epic" plan to
abolish poverty in the state.
The nominee indicated that if
his. plan succeeds, it may be at
tempted on federal projects through
out the nation.
~ told Harold L. Ickes, secre-
tary of interior, about my Central
Valley Water project plan,' Sim
clair said.
The plan is to put $4,000 unem-
ployed to work building the irri-
cation system. Farmers would feed
the laborers surplus crops, and
would be given credit in power and
water when work was completed.
Large companies, having to pay
taxes, either could give materials
or money.
Secretary Ickes was immense
ly interested in the idea,' Sinclair
said. "He said if it succeeded it
might be tried all over the coun-
try.
81 talked with President Roose-
velt for two hours at Hyde Park.
I have always been a student on
the causes and remedies of depres-
sions. thought had some plans.
I discovered the President had some
too. What we discussed, though,
was confidential. I don't want to
give people the idea I was using
him as sounding board for the
Epic program.
Sinclair said on the ballot of the
coming election he will insert a
series of initiative measures which
will give him cooperation of the leg
islature, and which he wishes writ
ten into the laws of California.

FEDERAL MEN
AID HUNT FOR
MISSING GIRL

PINEDALE, Wyo., Sept. IL. W.p)
Grave fears for the life of Vir-
ginia Ewing Gates were expressed
today as authorities pressed their
search for the 23-year-old daughter
of Thomas S. Gates, President of
the University of Pennsylvania.
Miss Gates has not been seen or
heard from since she went for a
stroll" Aug. 10 at dude" ranch
40 miles northwest of Pinedale.
Department of justice agents have
been called in to aid other Of
ficers in an attempt to trace the
Philadelphia girls whereabouts.
Her father is former partner
of j. P. Morgan 81 Co.
Three theories concerning her
disappearance were held:
/. She became lost in the dense
ly wooded, hilly hole in the wall"
country surrounding the ranch. She
was wearing a mans shirt, cord
uroy trousers and moccasin boots
when she left her horse with a
D. G. Bar ranch hand the
afternoon of Aug. 10 and told him
she was going for STROLL"
2. She left the ranch Aug. 10
for pre-arranged meeting with a
Philadelphia boy. Sheriff w. D.
Holt of Sublette said she had been
sent to wyoming to forget" and
will notify her family in time.
8. She has, as her family has
insisted, been motoring leisurely
from the ranch to Philadelphia,
neglecting to notify her family of
her whereabouts.
The majority of those involved
in the search are inclined to hold
with the first theory and they fear
that If she has been lost in the
hole in the wall" country since
Aug. 10, she may never be seen
alive again.

a midnight clash which transform

into a battlefield.
Strikers fought the authorities
with rocks and other missiles and
used gravestones as shields.
AS 1,100 more national guardsmen
were rushed here by truck from
Providence to reinforce the 18O al
ready on duty, Adj. Gen. Herbert
P. Dean, commanding the forces,
proclaimed martial law. 1t was
the first occasion civil government
has been superseded since the tex
tile strike began.
Seek To Close Plant
Martial law applied only to an
area about mile square, the cen
ter of which is the Sayles Finish
ing plant.
Around this area the guardsmen
with orders to "shoot to kill' if
necessary in self-defense-formed
an impenetrable Gordon.
Objective of the strikers has
been to force the closing of the fin
ishing plant, none of whose 1,100
employees walked out. The man.
agement has declared it will con-
tinue operations, and 200 workers
went on the day shift, unmolested,

martial law there would be no fur
