POLICEMAN AND BANDIT SHOT
HERE IN EARLY MORNING DUEL

wife Of the foreman of the South
ern Sierras Power company was
about to enter the garage at the
rear of her home, 450 Len Rey
avenue at $50 o'clock last night
when a tall man stepped out from
the shadows, struck her on the
head and ran off after grabbing
her handbag.
Mrs. Wilson recovered quickly
from the blow and shows no i'll
effect from her experience, today,
according to reports. The handbag
contained about 81 in cash with
three bank books. An examination
of the automobile in the garage
showed that the gasoline tank had
been tampered with, the assailant
evidently having been surprised in
an attempt to steal gasoline from
the car.

times and his head crushed. Sew

Buan reported his find to Sheriff

questioning, Ullrey said. The sher-

On the Republican side of the
political fence, the gubernatorial

Gov. Frank Finley Merriam, rat

test. His closest opposition came
from John Quinn, Los Angeles, and
former Governor c. C. Young.
Raymond Haight, a Los Angeles
attorney, was q Republican entry.
But he also was the only candidate
of the Commonwealth party, and
his nomination by that group was
certain, thus assuring California a
three way and possibly a four way
gubernatorial race in the Novem-
ber election.
Eighteen of California IS 20 con-
greSSmen are seeking nomination
by their respective parties. Some
of them have filed on the tickets
of all major parties. Few of them

argument for return to Washington.

LIONS CLUB
HEARS TALKS

In a talk at the weekly meeting
of the Lions club today, Bob Hays,
secretary of the chamber of COM
merce, spoke of the desirability of
an organization designed to erect
signs and direct traffic to high
ways leading through El Centre
and other valley points.
Such an organization, he said,
would be in a better position to
combat the inroads which are be-
ing made on valley tourist trade
by communities which favor the
Blythe road.
He concluded by pointing out
the accomplishments of the Broad
way of America association in its
comparatively brief period of ex-
istence. Although only eight years
of age, the association has been
responsible, directly and indirect
ly. for the paving of all but 32-
mile stretch of the highway in New
Mexico which leads from Broadway
San Diego to Broadway in New
York.
The other speaker of the day was
Walter C. Mcdonald who talked on
the milk situation. He stated that
last week. Los Angeles purchased
1000 gallons of milk per day from
the San joaquin diaries. Valley
dairymen, he said, should attempt
to work up this market, as well as
the market in San Diego
Merle Mantle was chairman of
the day and guests were Dunbar

GENEVA, Aug. %. - Chancellor

sibility for assassination of Chan
cellor Engelbert Dollfuss directly
upon Germany, 1t was learned to-
day.
The documents are intended to
show the entire Nazi putsch of July
25, and the subsequent uprising
through the provinces. were engi-
neered from across the border.
They prove, according to Austrian
statements, that the movement was
organized in Munich by Theodor
Habicht, who was then provincial
director of the Austrian Nazis. eff
not under the direct orders of Adolf
Hitler. at least without his oppos-
ition.'
Whether the league assembly will
handle an Investigation into the
authenticity of the documents, or
whether a private inquiry will re-
suit, is to be determined by the Big
Three-Great Britain, France and
Italy.
An official who revealed the
charges to the United Press de-
clared the Austrian government
has worked painstakingly for more
than a month, checking and cor
relating papers found on arrested
Nazis, and that it has corroborative
evidence from all sides pointing to
the German origin of the uprising.
He added that Austria has no
present desire to present the case
to the league, on t1e :heory that
the league could take no action
until the Big Three determined up
on the next procedure.
Throughout the aftermath of the
putsch, in which hundreds of lives
were lost and after which nearly
score of Austrian Nazis were
hanged for treason, Chancellor
Hitler denied German completely in
the plot. The Austrian Nazis at
Munich were ordered disbanded
and Habicht was dismissed.

WASHINGTON. Aug. %. = 4
peace conference appeared likely
today on the eve of the nationa
textile strike which threatens Il
take 100000 workers from theil
jobs.
Invitation for the conference was
extended to George Sloan, presi.
dent of the Cotton Textile Insti-
tute, and Francis German, chair
man of the special strike commit
tee of the United Textile Workers
by Chairman Lloyd Garrison of the
national labor relations board.
Neither Sloan nor German an
sWered the offer Immediately but
acceptance by both was hoped for
Whether the conference, if held
could avert a walkout of workers
that would close from 1.500 to 5000
miles from Maine to Alabama was
uncertain
Garrison invited union repre-
sentatives and mill owners to a
round table to be held tomorrow
or Thursday to consider 1.-the is
sues and explore the possibilities of
arriving at some settlement.
While German awaited receipt
of formal copy of the invitation
before replying. an associate said
the union leader was ready to meet
with Garrison lat any time and
any place" 1t was thought Sloan IS
attitude would be equally friendly.
The peace move came as strike
plans virtually were complete. Un-
ion leaders charged Alabama mills
were mounting machine guns and
stocking arms and tear gas bombs
in preparation for bloody combat.
Optimistic of Success
Despite the tenseness of the at
mosphere and the fact the strike
will start Saturday at the latest,
Garrison IS statement expressed op-
timism a way might be found 10
halt the walkout.
Following our conference with
the Cotton Textile National In
dustrial Relations board, the code
authority and NRA officials and
subsequent conferences with repre-
sentatives of the United Textile
Workers" said Garrison, "we are
hopeful some headway might be
made toward a settlement of the
issues involved in the pending strike
by a round table conference, in
which a representative committee
of the Cotton Textile Institute and
the members of the cotton textile
board and representatives OF the
union would discuss with us the is
sues and explore the possibilities
of arriving at some settlement.
Garrison urged the need of haste.
He suggested a meeting tomorrow
or Thursday if the Wednesday date
would not give time to assemble
the representative mill owners.
German committee expects tc
announce by Friday the exact hour
when organized labor will seek to
close every textile mill in the coun-
try. Food has been promised con-
ditionally by the government. Cor
man said the unions would strike
peacefully.
