MARRIAGE Of
JUDGE To De
INVESTIGATED

LOS ANGELES, Nov. IA U.P)-
The romantic marriage of Superior
Judge Guy F.. Bush and the tor-
mer wife of man to whom the
jurist granted probation. today
came under official investigation of
the county grand jury.
Acting on its own initiative, the
grand jury revealed it bad ordered
the inquiry. which follows plans
for Investigations by two legal or
ganizations, the Los Angeles Bar
association and the Lawyers club.
Grant Cooper. deputy district at
torney, was asked by the jurors to
direct the Investigation and Invest
igator Duffy Seay was instructed
to gather evidence.
Thus far the investigation is in
the hands of the grand jury Grim
inal complaints committee and no
action will be taken by the jury as
a whole until it is decided whether
there is evidence that public
offense has been committed, Fore
man John P Buckley said.
The inquiry is based on the Mex
ican marriage of Judge Bush and
Mrs. Leila Hewitt-Le Grand, the
latter the former wife of John LIE
Grand, an official of Long Beach
pipe supply company.
LIE Grand and another official of
the company were sentenced to
Judge Bush to two years in jail
and 20 years probation, with a pro-
vision for restitution of some S85, ,000
on grand theft charges.
Modified Sentence
The judge and Mrs. LIE Grand
met when she appeared to plead for
her former husband.
Later Judge Bush despite oppos-
ition of the prosecution and the
probation office, modified the sen
tence, cutting the Jail term to six
months and the restitution to a few
thousand dollars
Neither of the Los Angeles di-
vorces of Judge Bush or Mrs. LIE
Grand had become final at the
time of their Mexican marriage last
month. However, in the meantime
Judge Bush IS former wife had OBJ
tained a decree in Mexico and Mrs
LIE Grand had taken similar action
In view of these Mexican DEGREES
Judge Bush contends, the Mexican
divorce was legal.
While the grand jury inquiry is
being initiated, it was disclosed a
special committee of the Lawyers
club has asked Judge Bush to ap-
pear before it this afternoon.

THE RED CROSS CALLS

Relief work by the federal govern
ment has been SO prominently before Us
in the past two years, that We may have
lost sight Of the fact that there are other
agencies bringing aid to the needy as
they did long before the government
started its program, and as they will be
when the government has withdrawn
from the relief field.
Among them the Red Cross is out
standing. Government relief has not
made the work of the Red Cross unneces-
sary by any means. There are still many
in need of aid such as only the Red Cross
can give. There are still sudden dis
asters occurring which demand prompt
action by an organization trained in re-
lief work and with the facilities and per-
sonnel to provide it.
The annual roll call of the Red Cross
started Armistice day and will continue
through to Thanksgiving. 1t calls for
the same generous response which this
worthy organization has always merited
and which it has quite generally receiv-
ed from the people of the country.
None can deny the efficiency of the
Red Cross, which has been proved times
without number. If sudden disaster
should strike this or any other commun-
ity today or tomorrow, it is the Red Cross
to whom we would look for assistance
and it would not be denied US.
The Red Gross is cognizant of the
Strengthened circumstances which pre-
vail among the maj ority of families and
it does not ask any great sum. A little
from many will provide it with the mod
est budget it seeks. There should be a
generous response to the roll call from
Ell Centre residents.

PRICES MAY RISE

The food situation next year in
view of the drought, is perplex-
ing government agriculture officials
as they admitted that the ~unparall-
eled ravages of the sun in the Mid
west brought an unexpected situa-
ton to their attention. Secretary
of Agriculture Henry A. Wallace
predicted that food prices next year
would rise" materially in view of
the widespread effect of the, drought
on production of principal grain
crops. Wallace, however, asserted
that in 1885 there will be plenty
of food, to keep everyone in the best
of health" He added, however,
that the main problem was hat of
distribution and that despite pro-
duction decreases from natural
causes control over acreage must be
continued.
