KERSEY URGES
AMENDMENT IN
BUILDING LAW

SACRAMENTO, Jan. 10. U.P)-
Amendment of California IS drastic
earthquake-proof" school build
ing law was recommended today by
Vierling Kersey, state superintend-
ent of public instruction, to prevent
the closing of schools out of the So
called earthquake zone.''
81 believe the law should be
modified to exempt school districts
remotely removed from earthquake
fault lines,' Kersey said.
The stringent features of the
bill. in Kersey's opinion, 'invite
exploitation.
Building material and insurance
concerns have been very active since
passage of the bill. They have
found a fertile field for new busi-
ness. -
The superintendent said that
many small schools were facing a
possible shutdown because of lack
of alternative buildings for use dur
ing the reconstruction necessary to
make existing buildings meet the
requirements of the new law.

DUTCH YOUTH
is BEHEADED
BY GERMANY

LEIPZIG, Germany, Jan. 10. W.P)
-Marinus Van Der Lubbe, moronlc
Dutch stone mason convicted OF
burning the reichstag building, was
beheaded to,Ier at Leipzig prison.
A plea by Queen Wilhelmlna OF
Holland, sent through the Dutch
minister, for communication was un-
availing and the 24-year-old Luooe
went to the block.
The silk hated, frock-coated eX-
ecutioner severed Lubbe IS head JUST
after daybreak in the inner court OF
the Saxon state prison.
The beheading, in Nazi eyes, was
a concession. He was to have beeN
hanged, a death considered less
honorable.
Lubbe went to the scaffold like a
dumb animal and placed his head
on the block. The eXecutioner re-
leased the knife of the gulllotlne
and .Lubbe S head was severed IN
the manner first prescribed in sax
onv 100 years ago by Napoleon l.
Had the execution occurred any
where else in Germany, the execu-
toner would have used battle
axe which by tradition is the usual
instrument of death.
Nazi leaders put responsibility Tor
the death decision upon aged Pres
ident Paul Won HindeEburg.
1t was said that Hindenburg. al
ter examining report by the Ger
MANY ministry of justice, refused
clemency, which only he could
grant as the sentence was decreed
by the supreme court.

.HEWES SAYS DISTRICT SHOULD
NOT FIGHT AGAINST DIR. MEAD
Chairman Of Board Says Ickes And Head
Of Reclamation Service Willing To Co.
operate With Valley

Evan T. HeweS, chairman of the
irrigation district board of directors
returned from Washington, D. c.,
last night, whether he had gone
two weeks ago to secure action on
rejection of bids offered for the con-
Struction of the All-American canal
on the grounds that these bids were
too high.
Hewes said this morning that af-
ter a conference with Mead and the
chief engineer of the reclamation
service, decision was arrived at by
which the present bids should be
rejected. He said that the reclama
ton department believes that the
specifications had not been pre-
pared as advantageously as possible
to secure lower bids which might
have been done if these specifica-
tions and conditions of acceptance
of the work had been in different
form. Present plans are to revise
these specifications and conditions
of acceptance when new bids arc
called for.
DR.. Mead made the statement
that SO long as the reclamation de-
partment assumed the responsibility
for constructing the All American
canal it would exercise its authority
in designating the method to be
used in this construction.
Mead Courteous
Hewes said further that DR.. Mead
was very courteous and seemed to
Imperial Valley press., 1934-01-10

appreciate the cooperation of the
district in working out estimates of
cost OH the schedule according 10
which the bids were rejected and
after checking them with their costs
he did not hesitate to reject all
these bids on the basis of their be-
ing too high. This is a policy that
the interior department has follow
ed in the past in calling for bids
for cement for Boulder Dam and
when they considered these were
unduly high, rejected them and
called for new bids.
MY position remains unchanged"
Hewes said, that is, to protect the
interests of the people of the I'm
perial Irrigation district against
what might appear to pay more
than is consistent with good busi-
ness, for the construction of the
canal, but l have seen no reason in
the past or at present to lead me to
believe that we will not have the
cooperation of Secretary Ickes and
DR.. Mead in working in a friendly
way to have this protection; and
also see no reason why the Imperial
Irrigation district should fight DR..
Mead now"
Mark Rose and M. j. DoWd, chief
engineer for the district who were
with Hewes in Washington for these
conferences, are expected to be back
in the valley tonight.

AMORTIZATION
Of RAILROAD
DEBTSSOUCHT

WASHINGTON, Jan. 10. U.P)-
President Roosevelt is in favor of
amortization of railroad d e b is
through the establishment of sink
ing funds, the White House revealed
today.
At the same time Mr.. Roosevelt
made it clear that regulatory bod
les, such as the interstate COM
merce commission, should permit all
utilities, rail<jads, telephone, and
others, to earn a sufficient figure
that would permit them to set up
the sinking funds.
The President is of the belief that
these funds could be created with
out a raise in the rate structure.
In discussing the question of util-
ity finances with emphasis on the
transportation system, Mr.. Roose-
welt pointed out that one of the
chief troubles of the railroad has
been the financial problem created
by large capital structure most
of it a mortgage debt rather than
stock.
He revealed that at the beginning
of his administration some of the
large carriers that today are solvent
were faced with receiverShip. He
said that if conditions had contin-
ued for another six months as he
found them, most of the roads
would have been in receivership.
He explained that their condition
was caused by their inability to
meet interest on their mortgage
debt which in some cases was SO to
go per cent of their capital struc-
ture.
Mr.. Roosevelt said that the his
tory of railroad financing showed
that when mortgages came due the
railroad instead of paying OIL
through a sinking fund or amortl-
zation it refunded the debt through
additional borrowing or extensions.

PROPOSE DEBT LIQUIDATION PLAN
Program Designed To Put Security Market
On Sound Basis Of Prosperity

sage contemplated the cessation of
this emergency spending after the
next fiscal year.
If business is to pick up and go
on from there, private investment
must be restored. When the prop
of government support is removed,
according to this view, the busi-
ness world must be sturdy and Wig
orous enough to carry its own
weight.
The debt liquidation idea has not
been worked out in detail but has
commanded considerable attention.
The plan would be to take up some
of the more attractive securities OF

stimulating the security market and
adding healthier tone to this vi

AN SALOON
LEAGUE FULL
Of OPTIMISM

WASHINGTON, Jan. 10. (UD -
The Anti-Saloon League of Ameri"
ca today concluded its annual con-
vention with the prediction that il
quor soon will be outlawed again.
The delegates included some 200
elderly men and women, many from
the Westerville, O., headquarters OF
the league. They admired a jar OF
beer in which two egg yolks were
preserved and bottle of alcohol in
which three chicken giblets ratified
like rocks. They read sign which
said alcohol kills live things and
preserves dead things and pledged
themselves to a renewed battle
against liquor.
A typical convention session was
opened by the singing of a hymn.
Then the state Superintendents
made brief addresses. This is what
some of them said:
George B. Stafford, Chicago: "The
Anti-Saloon league hangs over the
liquor men like threatening
cloud"
L. E. York, Indianapolis: I'm
diana has the worst liquor law in
the United States"
F. Scott Mcbride, general super
intendent, broke the meeting into
sectional discussions about the prob
lens facing the league.
DR.. Mcbride, Ernest H. CHEERING
ton, director of the department OF
education, publicity and research,
and other leaders agreed that the
league would fight as it never had
fought before and that the neces-
sity for economy would in no wise
dampen it's ardOr.

Paris where the government pre-
pared to face an angry parliament

the scandal surrounding the collapse

GUARD
TWO FAMILIES

MONROE CITY, Mo-, Jan. 10. W.H
Two East Missouri families were
under protective guard today as po-
lice continued search for four deS-
peradoes who terroriZed them in
spectacular series of crimes.
The families we're those of Roy
Carpenter, a school teacher whose
wife was kidnapped by the gang as
a shield against gunfire OF police
in three brisk encounters, and OF
julius jackson, to whose home the
bandits took Mrs. Carpenter and
held her captive for eight hours.
About O'Clock last night, after
a day spent at the jackson home
where meals were ordered cooked
at the point OF rifles, the bandits
drove off, liberating Mrs. Carpenter
on side road. She returned home
later, unharmed but shaken by her
experience.
The shooting quartet, believed to
have slipped through police lines,
first was encountered at Hannibal,
where two of them stole an auto
mobile. Police Chief w. j. Schnel-
der and Sergeant Omalee Baker
gave chase, only to be met with
burst of rifle fire from which they
miraculously escaped.
Pursuing the fleeing car, Schnel-
der and Baker caught up just as
it arrived at the Carpenter home,
where it was joined by second
bandit car. The stolen car was
parked behind the house, and three
men rushed inside, kidnapping Mrs.
Carpenter, while a fourth bandit
concealed in roadside culvert,
held off police with rifle fire.

BAN POLITICS
IN ASSIGNING
CWA WORKERS

Political creeQ or influence will
have no place in the assigning OF
CWA jobs by county unemployment
offices according to written orders
received from the state office re-
Gently. These orders in the form of
Il circular addressed to all members
of national Unemployment commit
tees, county managers and field su-
pervisors are most emphatic in this
respect, Chan Livingston, in charge
of the Unemployment office, point
ed out.
In connection with this, the state
office is merely following out sug-
gestions contained in recent
speech delivered by President
Roosevelt in which he stated that
the national government was mot
trying to gain political advantage
one way or another because of the
need of human beings for relief
Every official connected in any
manner with the distribution of re-
lief funds is expected to follow this
same policy, adopting recommen-
dation made by the P/Sident in
this speech: II would like to have a
rule adopted that no official of fec
eral, state, county or municipality
or any other political subdivision,
or any official or employee in any
way connected with a relief admin
istration, shall ask anyone whether
he is a Republican, Democrat, So
cialist, or any other political be-
lief"
The sole purpose at present of the
CWA is to bring jobs to men and
men to jobs as effectively and as
speedily as possible, and its officials
will follow out to the uttermost
point the broadminded policies SO
clearly expressed in the speech OF
President Roosevelt.
