Washington, D. c.
Dear Mr. Burnham:
Hon. A. Y. Preble, one of Imper-
ial county's most active and force 1
full supervisors, has brought to the
attention of government officials
the possible use Of army and navy
aircraft to carry air mail between
points not now on commercial
lines, such for instance as Imper-
ial Valley.
Planes from the army and navy
posts are making many daily prac-
tice flights and these flights, Mr.
Preble suggests, might just as we'll
be made for definite purpose.
We here, due to our somewhat
isolated position, are much interest
ed in having air mail. Will you not
interest yourself in this matter and
see if we cannot obtain support
of the idea from the army and
navy and the postal department?
With every good wish, I am
Yours very truly,

Secretary Manager, Ell Centre

Note: This letter was written be-

Mdivani Circles Around Califor.
MIA Where Minion of Law
Awaits Him

San Francisco. Jan. 8.-tP)-Prin-
cess Barbara Hutton Mdivini was in
San Francisco Monday on her round
the-world honeymoon. while her
Prince Alexis was hundreds OF miles
away.
Prince Alexis, by airplane. circled
far around California. where sub
poena server awaited him, after part
ing Sunday night from his $4,000 600
i.eiress bride at Reno, New. and
headed for Seattle.
His destination and the fact that
the couple have reserved quarters on
the liner Tatsuta Maru. sailing from
here for the Orient Thursday, led to
unconfirmed reports they may plan
to meet again at Honolulu or far out
at sea.
The marine exchange of the San
Francisco chamber Of commerce said
the MatSon freighter Makiki. which
carries a few passengers, appeared to
be the only vessel the prince could
board from Seattle that might
meet the Tatsuta Maru in Honolulu
Even this seemed uncertain. the
marine exchange said, as the Makiki

t. get her to Honolulu about the same
time as the liner if two other calls
at Puget Sound ports are brief.
MY husband left on business" the
heiress to the Woolworth five and
ten fortune said in explaining why
the prince flew east to Salt Lake City
and then north while she continued
on to San Francisco In her fathers
palatial railroad coach.
Prince Alexis denied, as he trans
ferred from one plane to another at
Salt Lake City, that legal matters had
anything to do with his first separa-
ton from his bride since their mar
riage last June.
In San Francisco. however, Harry
Owen, special investigator for the Los
Angeles district attorneys office. took
up a subpoena-serving vigil. Owen
who boarded the princess train at
Sacramento, only to find the prince
had turned back before reaching the
California line, said he will remain
on guard.
The subpoena for the prince is as

$500 A Month To
HELP ITS SCHOOLS
Teachers Being Paid From Fed.
eraI Money Allotted Un-
der CWA Program


North Dakota has been allotted
$500 month by the federal emer-
gency relief commission for emer-
gencv relief in education and 100
teachers already are at work under
The program.
The work Is being administered
through the office of Arthur E.
Thompson, superintendent of public
instruction. with John "A. Page, direc-
tor of secondary education, in direct
charge of the program.
Teachers have been allocated to
the different counties of the state.
They will receive maximum Of $50 a
month. To be eligible, teachers must
be unemployed and be enrolled with
the county unemployment officer Of
the county in which they desire to
teach.
Teachers employed under the pro-
gram must have the same qualifica-
tions as regularly employed teachers
and must be residents Of North Da-
kota.
County Groups Formed
In each county in the state q coun-
ty committee has been appointed to
have charge Of the work in the coun-
ty. The county committees are
charged with the responsibility Of
selecting the teachers and designat-
ing the places where they shall teach
and types Of courses to be offered.
County committees usually consist of
the county superintendent of schools
and the city superintendent of schools
in the county seat towns. These two

The types Of work which may be
offered are rural education, illiteracy,
vocational education. general adult
education and vocational rehabilta-
lion.
Rural schools forced to close be-
cause Of lack Of funds are being sup
piled with emergency relief teachers.
In the larger towns. especially. vo-
education and general adult
education classes have been organized.
Interest Reported Keen
"Keen interest is being taken in
several communities" Page said.
Miss Christine Finlayson and E. H.
Jones of the Agricultural college, and
President E. F. Riley of the Wahpeton
School OF Science are giving advice
TO county committees in the organ
lzation of vocational classes. The
same type of service is being given
general adult education by Miss M.
Beatrice tombstone, Grand Forks, and
Miss Lillian Cook, Bismarck.
ITO date. few classes in illiteracy
have been organized" Page declared.
THE demand for this type Of pro-
gram IS not great. Because of the
fact that We do not have large cities,
illiterates are not concentrated, hence,
classes are difficult to organize"
The work in vocational rehabilita-
ton is being conducted under the
direction of Edward Erickson, federal
vocational director. Grand Forks. OF

1T is not expected that all unem-
ployed teachers will receive assistance
under this program" Page stated.
The money assignment for North

teacher not regularly employed. It is
evident, however, that many needy
unemployed teachers will be helped

lively identified as Klutas, police said
his fingerprints showed the results Of
plastic surgery in an effort to erase
tell-tale lines. From underworld
sources authorities said they learned
klutas already had spent $1,000 on the
