LITTLE AMERICA, Antarctica
July 81 (vis Mackay RADIO Ar
rangements we're completed yesterday
afternoon in a radio conversation
with rear admiral Richard E. Byrd
for a tractor with a crew of five
men to leave today for the Boiling
advance weather base where the sd-
miral has spent four months in the
worlds southernmost meteorological
station.
The tractor journey, which is de-
pendent upon weather conditions, is
for the purpose of bringing Admiral
Byrd back to Little America and
leaving two observers at the advance
base in his place.
The observers are Carl o. Peter
son. a veteran of the first Byrd eX-
pedition, and Bernard Fleming of
New Zealand. skilled radio operator,
who also will assist in q meteorolog-
ical work
The two men will be isolated until
October when the southern party is
scheduled to pass the base on its way
to the Queen Maud Mountains.
The admiral remarked that he had
a bad arm" but did not say whether
it was injured or was bad" of some
other cause.
Communication was difficult today
due to the fact that the main radio
set at the advance base still is out of
commission. and Byrd is forced to use
a set cranked by hand.
Weather conditions today were not
promising, and there we're indications
that blizzard might cause delay of
the tractor trip, which it is estimated
will require about y hours.

NEW YORK, July 2l-Vigorous
use of inherent judicial authority" to
prevent trial by newspaper is recon-
mended bv a committee of the New
York County Lawyers Association in
a tentative report prepared Tor the
American Bar Association.
The report strikes at sensational
and reckless journalism" and con-
cludeS that exercise Of the summary
contempt would make administrative
censorship unnecessary.
Irving l. Goldsmith is chairman of
the committee making the recommen-
dations and George Sylvester is cred
ited with the research and prepara-
ton.
Full Recommendation.
The full recommendation at the
end of the chapter titled Trial BY
Newspaper" follows:
"A prejudiced jury strikes at the
heart Of the administration OF crimi-
nal justice Determination of the
question, whether the defendant is
guilty or innocent of the crime with
which he is charged, is essentially
the sole function of the criminal pro-
cedure The importance, therefore,
of restricting in some manner the
creation OF violent preludices and
prcconceived opinions by sensational
and reckless journalism, is clear.
The offense obviously is interfer
ence with the administration of JUS
tice or, in effect, contempt of court.
Vigorous exercise of the summary con-
tempt by the courts would do much
to check the activities of the inferior
type of newspaper without affecting
in any way, the unbiased accounts of
criminal proceedings by the more con-
servative type of publication.
Balance Is Seen.
ANY unfavorable publicity that
the court or prosecutor would receive
as a result of this direct attack in the
press would be more than offset by the
almost certain approval Of the public
generally and by ,the expressed appro-
baton of the better newspaper.
vigorous use of this inherent jul
dicial authority, supported by ample
precedent, moreover, will render un-
necessary administrative censorship"

FERA EXECUTIVE GIVES DATA ON
CALIFORNIA; RELIEF SITUATION

Pierce Williams, western field
representative of the Federal Emer-
gency Relief Administration, today
made the following statement with
regard to the unemployed relief
and work program in California.
Complaints and protests from
municipal and county officials in
certain sections of California re-
garding the failure to launch a
work program comparable with
civil works. Williams said, ARE
based on a misapprehension.
California has been allotted
Tor the months of April and May
its fair share of the total amount
distributed by the federal relief
administrator the country over for
those two months. For relief and
work during April, the California
Emergency Relief Administration
set aside $3,O0O,0O0; for relief and
work during May, it set aside $3,-
350000. 1t is recognized by Off
cials of the FERA in Washington
that the amounts made available
to California for April and May
will not permit of any program
commensurate with civil works
In this respect California is in ex-
actly the same situation as every
other state in the union. The
amounts of FERA funds allotted
to California for April and May
will take care of all legitimate re-
lief needs, when to the federal
funds are added funds still avail
able in the state bond issue for
unemployment relief and amounts
budgeted for relief in county bud
gets for the current year.
Certain counties of the state of
California have taken it for grant
ed that the Federal Relief Admin
istration will continue to pour
funds into California, notwith-
standing the failure of these coun-
ties to take advantage of their
right to state bond relief funds
In this they are mistaken. 1t is
cardinal principle of FERA that
counties and states must assume
their reasonable share of the fl
nancial load incident to the giving
of unemployment relief. This prin-
ciple of local and state coopera-
ton with the Federal Relief Ad-
miniStration likewise applies to
the carrying out of a work pro-
gram. Any county relief admin
istration in the state of California
is free to submit to the State ERA
work projects similar to those in
the civil works program. However
it must be recognized by county
and municipal officials that the
amount of federal funds available
for California precludes the ex-
penditure of any portion of those
funds for other than wages to the
persons assigned to work on a mu-
nicipal or county project. 1t fol-
lows that if any public project in

KIDNAP LAW

wolves the expenditure of money
for materials, rental of equipment,
etc, the local government unit
concerned must provide the funds.
only few counties of Califor-
mia have exhausted their right
to obtain funds from the state
unemployment bond issue. Any
county obtaining state bond issue
funds is free to carry on a relief
program under the general super
vision of the California ERA, on
the conditions indicated above.
There has been no hiatus in
the operation of the regular un-
employment relief program in CAL
ifornia. The result of civil works
was to considerably reduce the
numbers of families compelled to
seek public assistance. Since the
cessation of civil works, there has
been "a natural increase in the
numbers of unemployed applying
for relief.
No applicant legitimately entitled
to public assistance has been de-
MED it because of the failure Of
municipal and county authorities
to submit worthwhile work prof.
ects to the California ERA for its
approval. AS rapidly as local au-
thorities submit work projects to
the California ERA, which con-
form to the general rules and reg
ulations of the FERA, they will
be approved. 1t must be empha-
sized, however, that the federal
funds available to California must
be reserved for the payment of
wages to persons assigned to work
from the relief rolls. The number
of hours of work for each family
head on relief will be approx
mately sixty per month"

out and approved by the universi-
ty without any expense to the dis
trict.
There are two questions in the
minds of all residents OF FL Centro
concerning this proposed change.
First, what effect will this change
from the semi annual to the annual
promotion plan have on the eff
cheney of our educational program;
and second, what effect will the
change have on the cost OF edu-
cation in our district.
without attempting to set forth
in detail the advantages and dis
advantages of one plan of promo
ton over the other. may the writer
simply say that the plan of Or
ganization and administration for
an education program depends
largely upon the local conditions.
All of the city schools in Imperial
county are now operating salts
factorily under the annual promo
ton plan. In fact the annual pro-
motion plan is much better adapt
ed to our accepted educational
philosophy and procedure.
The present trend in education
al practice throughout the United
States for the smaller school sys-
TENS is definitely toward the an
nual plan of promotion. The an
swer to our first question is that
the contemplated change in our
organization should mean greater
educational efficiency.
What difference, if any, will the
change make in cost to TIE COM
munity? The difference in cost
will not be great, but what differ
ence there is will be decidedly III
favor OF economy
Your board of trustees and SUI
perintendent will appreciate your
cooperation and confidence in max
ing this reorganization in the in
terest of greater educational eff
cheney and economy for our schools.

Expansion of flax growing in the

tered by the farm bureau. accord
ing to advices just received by I'm

A step IN this direction has been
the inclusion of flax as basic

ANNUAL PROMOTION PLAN ADOPTED
FOR Ell CENTRIC SCHOOL SYSTEM

The Press has received the fol-
lowing statement on the proposed
change of plans in the El Centro
grammar school system, which is
presented for the information of
the public:
The elementary schools of Ell
Centre are now organized under
the semi-annual promotion plan
for the first six grades, which
means that our school year is di-
vided into two equal terms the first
one beginning in September, the
second in February. This plan ne
ceSSitateS change in teachers in
the mid-year for most pupils and
additional teachers have to be en-
ployed. Furthermore, we have the
inconvenience of arbitrarily re-
grading all the pupils when they
enter Wilson school because the
high school has found it to be ed
ucationally undesirable to have
new classes formed in the middle
4 of the year.
We are proposing to revise the
system once for all, next Septem-
ber, after a most careful evalua-
ton of our present organization
and educational program, and in
stall the annual promotion plan.
Standardized tests are being Civ
en- to all pupils in our schools. The
results of these tests will be one
sof several factors taken into con-
sideration in the regarding and
classification of our pupils on the
annual promotion plan for the
opening of school in the fall 9th
er factors to be considered are age
of pupil, scholarship, physical de-
velopment, social adaptability, and
teacher judgment.
The grade placement of a COM
paratively small per cent of the
pupils will be affected by this re-
organization. Each pupil will be
studied individually before he is
, assigned to his grade in Septein-
ber. 1t is therefore impossible to
fill in the grade to which the child
is to be promoted for next term
at the time our report cards are
. sent home the end OF the present
year.
The cooperation and confidence
of the parents is requested in max
ing this desired change We as
sure you that the very best pro-
cedure will be followed and that
each pupil will receive individual
consideration in his assignment
In fact, the question which will be
asked for each pupil is, "What
will ultimately be the best for
you?'
The testing program and all
plans followed to date have been
approved by DR.. Hull and DR.. Ford
Of the School of Education. Uni
versity of Southern California, and
the final plans for the reclassifi-
cation of our pupils will be worked

know that having in mind their
anticipated increase in acreage in
1885, wrote to c. E. Huff, pres
ident of the Farmers National
Grain Corporation in Chicago. who
is in close touch with the flax
growing states in the middle west,
and asked him what the growers
had in mind in getting flax named
as basic crop. Mr.. Fluff IS reply
was that there was no contempla-
ton of restricting acreage but
rather OF exparding it and the
growers wanted flax to be made a
basic crop so as to give the secre-
tary of agriculture the necessary
authority to apply quotas to eX-
porting Countries
