2. In poorer rural areas.
Therefore, Mr.. Roosevelt will
recommend to the 73rd congress a
comparatively large loan appropria-
tion of federal funds to provide de-
cent living conditions for the lower
strata of farm and city families.
The size of the appropriation and
the extent to which federal funds
will be permitted to compete with
private funds in the more profitable
types of building activity will be a
measure of the "new deal IS -
change in II months from policies
of last January.
If the federal appropriation is
limited to slum replacement with
modern buildings renting for SIS a
room or less and to improving GER
tain rural dwellings, the competi-
ton between federal and private
funds will be negligible. But if Mr..
Roosevelt offers treasury loans for
construction of apartments to rent
at $40 or more a room or for con-
struction of homes for any but the
lowest wage classes, the advocates
in and out of the administration
of the use of private capital in re-
viving the construction industry
will be disappointed.

funds shall be available for slum

the sentiment about evenly divid-
ed.
The only partly-expressed atti-
tude OF the administration reflects
sentiment somewhat similar to
that of the legislature.
Governor Frank F. Merriam has
admitted the possibility he would
advocate the application of some
modification of a production for
use" plan.
To Make Survey
| In line with this possibility, the
state planning commission is near
ing completion of survey intended
to show the situation as to where
sub-marginal or non profitable
farm lands are located; where
more profitable land may be found;
what other facilities are available
for use as cogs in a workable re-
lief machine.
Both the administration, as rep
resented by the governor his ad-
visors, and members of the legis-
! lature, recognize that unemploy-
ment is one of the outstanding
problems facing the state today.
AT the same time there still is a
lack of anything definite in the
way of program.
Will the state have to vote an
other relief bond issue? Will taxes
have to be raised specifically fol
this purpose? State officials aren't
laying down any specific answers
TO these questions yet.
Practically everyone connected
with the state government prefers
to watch and wait. 1t is assured
this attitude will not change until
the federal government makes il
evident what is expected of Cali
fornia as an individual state and a
cooperative relief unit.

PRIZE WINNING ESSAYS IN LOCAL
CONTEST URGING SAFETY FIRST

Following are two prize winning
essays in the safety first campaign
conducted in the fifth and sixth
grades in Lincoln school and the
seventh and eighth grades at Will
son and East Side schools The
campaign was sponsored by the El
Centre police department and the
Imperial County Safety Council
and numerous organizations of this
city. in the hope of teaching child
ren and their parents the necessity
Of making the number of traffic
accidents as low as possible. The
winner in the East Side school will
be announced tomorrow.
Going and Coming
When you are going or coming
from school or any other place you
must obey the safety rules. When
you go to cross the street cross it
at corners and croSswalks. Look
both ways before crossing.
When you walk on the highways
walk on the left side of the high
way Then you can see the cars on
both sides. When you are on a BIZ
cycle keep on the side of the street.
I hope you will obey the safety
rules. I am making a little jingle
for you:
Safety first
Safety last
Then the car
Will let you pass.

or more from the treasury to prime
the construction industry, the Job
was assigned to private capital.
The housing act was the method
chosen. This act authorized par
tial federal guarantee of loans for
modernization of homes.
Modernization is quick acting
stimulant. For more permanent
although slower results other sec
tionS of the housing act provided
partial guarantee of risks under
taken by banks and private capital
in refinancing existing home mort
cages and new construction.
Private Capital Slow
Mr. Roosevelt evidently had been
convinced by Harold L. Ickes, Sec
retary of interior, and others that
this longtime construction pro-
gram using private capital is too
slow for recovery purposes. Left
wing "new dealers" complain, al
SO, that private capital never will

The grand jury further recon-

employment of minors in any
capacity in places where liquor is
sold and also that certain num-

1t was pointed out that the grand

SERA on an adjustment of the
wage scale paid by that organiza-

with the scale which ranchers OF
the valley are able to pay at
present.
The grand jury feels that the
SERA wage scale is too high and
that an adjustment is necessary SO
that farmers may have labor to
harvest their crops. AS it is al
present, ranch labor is said to bt

Safety on Streets and Highways

Safety on Streets and Highways
Since safety is such an important
subject everybody should help in a
drive to make everybody safety
conscious. No individual can
achieve this goal alone everybody
must help. There has been a sur
prising number of deaths on streets
and highways through carelessness
alone.
Bicycle riders can help by always
signaling when they turn, stop, or
slow down, and by using lights and
observing other safety measures.
Pedestrians are sometimes the
cause Of accidents because they do
not observe signals and laws provid-
ing for their safety.
It is important for car drivers to
signal at corners, watching out for
other cars and what they do, and
Observing the speed limit. Another
thing that is important is always to
let the other people know as best
you can by giving the correct sig
mails what you are going to do.
AS 1 mentioned before, not the
pedestrian alone, nor the bicycle
riders alone, nor the cars alone
can achieve this goal, but all must
unite to achieve the goal of safe
streets and highways.

MORALS RAIDS
CONTINUING
IN GERMANY
BY FREDERICK OECHSNER

United Press Staff Correspondent
BERLIN, Dec. 18.-Secret agents
of the crack SIS storm troop organ
ization continued raids throughout
the country today seeking men list
ed as sexually abnormal-Nazis as
well as non-Nazis.
The national drive was an at
tempt to rid the country, but par
ticularly the Nazi party, of class
which stigmatized the Nazis four
years in Germany and was revealed
to the world in the "purging Of
June 80.
Raids were conducted n close
cooperation with Hermann Goer-
ing, minister of aviation and pre-
mier of Prussia, who was the firon
fisto of the June 80 drive. They
were made at the personal order
of Adolf Hitler.
An estimate of arrests made up
to "a hours ago put the total at be-
tween 500 and TOO, including more
than 100 members of the Nazi par
ty. Storm troops, Hitler youth,
political functionaires and lesser
leaders were involved.
Detention in prisons or concen-
tration camps, and possibly formal
trial, faced those arrested under
the dictatorial power which Hitler
exercises.

SACRAMENTO, Dec. 18 U.P) -
Despite CALIFORNIA; rejection of
Upton Sinclair and his Epic plan
at the November election, the doc
.rine of production for use" will
be a potent factor when the 1885
legislature takes up the problem of
unemployment relief.
Influence of the Epic plan, in
both straight and diluted doses, is
seen throughout the answers to
questions put by the United Press
in poll of members of both houses.
One of the members who termed
the Epic plan a menace" never
theless expressed the firm belief
that subsistence part-time farming
should be made a part of any re-
! lief program contemplated by the
fstate.
The proposal of state aid for CO.
operative self-help groups, many of
which already have proved their
value. found a substantial favorable
response from members of the low
er house.
! Objections To SERA
Several of the aSsemblymen, in
fact, believed these cooperatives TO
be the only workable answer to the
unemployment problem, and said
the state should back them as the
illogical successor to the alleged
'waSteful' state emergency relef
administration.
Of those legislators objecting to
SERA, many disliked the program
on the ground it was 'thinly con-
| cealed dole" Also there were
numerous demands for a program
which would apply no WORKING
eat" slogan to those able bodied
| persons seeking aid.
In the more conservative senate,
the question of state aid for the
cooperative self-help groups found

WASHINGTON, Dec. l8.-Presi-
dent Roosevelt IS recommendations
to congress on slum clearance and
housing will be reliable baromet-
er of general new deal" policy.
The recommendation will indi-
cate whether Mr.. Roosevelt intends
to restrict federal spending to low
profit fields in which private capi-
tai has no particular interest.
One year ago Mr.. Roosevelt was
of the opinion that large scale
slum clearance or construction of
suburban dwellings to draw slum
dwellers from congested areas was
not practical A sum of $l5O,OOO, =
900 had been allocated for that pur-
pose. But the President had re-
jected several plans for slum pro-

Best-informed opinion is that
