~ the Associated Press.
BERLIN, October 15-Details OF
the Bavarian Protestant Church night
reaching Berlin through reliable chan
uels today Indicated hopeless con-
fusion exists In. Nazi ranks over
the course to be pursued.
No less q person than Reichsbishop
Ludwig Mueller's -right-hand man.
Rev. Fritz Engelke. D. D, who Is
Lutheran representative In supreme
church councils Of the Reich. and
Prof. Arthur Titus secretly offered
Bavarian ministers to see that Mueller
is eliminated II peace in the church
can thereby be established.
They also promised that Dr.. August
Jaeger, commissioner for Protestant
churches in Prussia. would be put out.
The Bavarian clergy replied they
would not even consider peace unless
Bishop Hans Meiser and other men,
hers Of the Bavarian Supreme Church
Council were first reinstated. Be-
sides, they added, the question Of
Mueller and Jaeger Is up to Hitler
and not to Engelke and Titus.
In some Bavarian Nazi circles
there Is bitterness over Jaeger's ap-
pointment of bishops for Nurnberg
and Munich without consulting the
Bavarian minister Of education and
culture, Hans Schemm, who has juris-
diction in church matter.
To the aid OF Meiser and the
church opposition has, come the
theological faculty Of ancient Err
langen University. Professors there
issued a theological opinion to the
effect that Mueller's and Jaeger's
measures were unconstitutional, create
confusion among the church folk and
violate, the principles Of brotherly
love, fidelity and truth and contravene
the Divine commandments which the
church Of Christ must obey"

Under the auspices of the Mas

week, an annual event, will open
on Monday, April %, closing April
81.
This year, instead of emphasiz-
ing visitation of class rooms, the
elementary schools in particular.
are stressing two programs to be
given next week, although of course
those wishing to visit classes will
be always welcome.
The first program is that to be
given Wednesday evening at 8
0 clock in the Wilson school with
eighth grade classes in charge.
This year the program has been
worked out. with the general idea
in mind of presenting typical
class room situation, one in which
the pupils are divided into groups,
each having chairman, and each
attacking one phase of the prob
lem under consideration.
The theme is the "Present Crisis
in Public Education and the
phases to be considered are, curtail-
ment of education, increasing de-
mands on education, need for fed
eral aid, and the responsibility of
the schools in character develop

Players Vote Immediate And Future Finan-
cial Support For Milk Fund

Immediate and future financial
support for one of the most worth
while activities in Ell Centre, was
voted last night by the Ell Centre
Night Baseball League, which un-
animously adopted the following
resolution
Beginning this year, all funds
received at games of the FL Cen
tro Night Ball League, after the
proper expenses of the league have
been paid, and a reserve of $100
set aside in the league treasury that
such balance as then remains be

voted to donate Immediately the
sum of $l00 to the welfare fund

as the "milk fund.-, is used to
provide luncheons during the school
year for youngsters whose parents
are financially unable to pay for
them and who otherwise would
go hungry or not have sufficient
food. 1t is administered by the
school authorities in manner 10

pupils benefiting by it.
An official of the league stated
to The Press today, that the bali
players are opposed to making any

money for themselves out of the
games.
"The boys feel that the public
has given them such fine support
in the past, that it is up to them
to reciprocate over and above fur
rishing amusement, and as the
schools provide the grounds on
which they play, nothing could be
more fitting than to aid worthy
work in which the schools are in
terested,' - the league official said.
"The league does not wish to
make any money out of the games.
In this there is nothing of the us
ual 'professional-amateur' squab-
BILE, - he continued "It is merely
the desire of the players TO provide
clean end wholesome sport for the
people of the city at a nominal cost
to meet the ordinary expenses of
the sport and to use whatever pro-
fit there may be for a worthwhile
cause
In addition to taking this action
The league voted the sum of $72.

International Investigation OF
Gangster's Activities To Be

made to trace the movements of

Condor to identify him as the mys-
terious John" To whom he paid
the $4,000 Lindbergh baby kidnap

John j. Murphy, U. S. Marshal,
confirmed this information follow
ing word from New York that "Jaf-
sic" had viewed a photograph of

AS a "lead" in the investigation,
Murphy holds 14-carat gold belt
buckle, valued at $50, which Lard

to Charles T. Kenney, deputy U. S.
marshal, March Z, while the sus-
pect was enroute to Leavenworth
penitentiary to begin a three-year-
term for passing bogus $100 bill

Because of patented device in

DECISION On
CHINA POLICY
Entire Manchukuon Matter To
Be Taken Up AT Discussion
Set For May IA.

Chinese Leaders Deny Nation
Accepted Statement Issued
From Toxic.
In DIFFICULT POSITION
BY STEWART BROWN

United Press Staff Correspondent
GENEVA, April 81. Japans
startling hands Off Chinese de-
clarations may be raised in what
will amount to world conference
when the League of Nations COM
mittee on Manchukuo meets here
May IA, it was indicated today.
League of Nations officials, al
ready chagrined over the complete
defeat of the leagues efforts to curb
activities of Japan in Manchukuc,
took most serious view OF the la
test Toxic statements.
Confronted with a new step for
ward in Japans aim to assert full
leadership in eastern Asia, league
officials seemed inclined to favor a
showdown and to welcome gener-
al discussion of far eastern affairs
at the May IA meeting, the first in
nearly year for the Manchukuo
committee.
From the standpoint of the league
as a body, there was no doubt that
strong stand against Japan would
be welcomed But as Geneva is but
the shell of the organization, and
its members have their own prob
lens in the far east, there was some
speculation whether strong
stand" could be adopted.
In it's efforts to curb Japan's pen
etration into Manchuria, the league
suffered a severe defeat and loss Of
prestige it could i'll afford. Now,
with Japan having announced It's
withdrawal from the league, and
taking the position that the league
has no concern with Japan's affairs,
the leagues position is made doubly
difficult.
Until the latest developments, 1t
had been indicated that the meet
ing would be one in which some
delegates demanded that as a prac-
tical matter, aside from diplomatic
niceties, league members ought to
recognize Manchukuo.
But now, with league officials be-
lieving that Japan is defying the
world, the feeling was that an ap-
proRch toward recognition would
only be confession of helplessness.
NANKING, April %. U.P)-An in
dignant denial that China had pre-
viously agreed to Japan's hands-off
policy in the Orient came today
from the ministry of foreign af-
fairs.
A report to that effect was sent
from Toxic.
Chinas acquiescence would be as
absurd as a man agreeing to his
own destruction" spokesman said.
THE report presumably was IN
spired by Japanese in an effort to
make the world believe China ac-
cepts Japan's ACTION"

Assistant Secretary OF Agricul-
ture Target For Attacks By
Opponents.

WASHINGTON, April 81. U.P) -
To the American Society of News
paper Editors, DR.. Rexford TugWell
tonight was expected to present his
answer to anti administration critic
who accused him of seeking to di-
rect the government into socialism
and RECOMMENDATION.
Tugwell, assistant secretary of ag-
riculture, whose name was frequent
ly mentioned by DR.. William A..
Writ, Gary, Ind, educator, IN mis-
RED plot" testimony has been the
center of controversy for months.
His critics have characterized him
as the driving force behind the So
called brain trust" His policies for
the rehabilitation of agriculture, to-
gether with those of his chief, Hen
ry Wallace, secretary of agriculture,
have been the subject of vitriolic at
tack.
1t was expected that Tugwell
would take advantage of his ap-
pearance before the society of edi-
tors to expound his economic phil
osophy and perhaps answer direct
ly some of the charges brought
against him.
To charges that Tugwell favored a
government of Communism or Fas-
cism, his friends and associates have
made prompt defense. They have
pointed to his initial opposition to
the Bankhead bill for compulsory
cotton crop control as specific eN-
dence that he does not advocate
wholesale reorganization of Ameri-
can agricultural and industrial life.
Because of the references to him
in the sensational Writ hearings,
interest was high in TugwelPs
speech. He has made no lengthy
statement since the Writ case fin
ally leaped into headlines. He did,
however, deny the existence OF any
brain trust" and points to his pub
lished writings as ample exposition
of his views.

FARM SERVICE
PLOYMEN1

Continuation of the Imperial
county farm service-employment
office, a branch of the u. S. De-
partment of Labor throughout the
cantaloupe season has been assured
in advices received yesterday by the
El Centro Chamber of Commerce
and Capt. w. N. Cunningham will
remain in charge until the office
is closed for the summer. This in
formation was highly gratifying to
chamber directors, according to w.
H. Tyler, Jr., president, as that or
ganization has been very active in
the past two weeks in urging an
extension of the service until Aug
lust.
Cunningham is sent to Imperial
Valley each year as a special agent
and his appointment expired on
April l. AS an extension of the
service had not been announced at
that time the chamber communi-
Gated with j. H. Fallin, in charge
of the service in this area, with
Director Tucker in st. Louis, and
Director Persons in Washington,
urging that his term in Imperial
county be extended this year as
in past years to carry the service
through the cantaloupe season. No
word was received until yesterday
and Tyler was apprehensive that
this service, which means so much
to the produce industry of Imper-
ial Valley and in the solving of the
unemployment problem, was to be
discontinued at the present time.
Advices received yesterday, how
ever, stated that Cunningham IS eX-
tension of appointment has been
made and he will keep the Ell
Centre office of the farm-labor SER
vice open until the end of the can
taloupe season, assisting the grow
ers and shippers in their labor
needs and helping residents to find
