ROMORS SAY
RO[PH PLANS
To QUIT RACE
Continued from Page u

governors office. physicians and
others, that Rolph suffered mild
stroke and would be advised not to
attempt a campaign for reelection
Report of one lieutenant that five
major departments would band to-
gether in support of John r. Quinn
chairman of the Los Angeles board
of supervisors, should Rolph drop
out and Quinn become a guberna-
torial candidate.
Attempts of delegations to per-
suade Vandegrift and Earl Lee KEEL
ly, director Of public works, to run
for governor.
Quinn RumOr Grows
These developments, in the opin-
ion of political observers, give evil
dence Of restless rumbling in adj
: miniStration rankS-rumbling which
may break into roar of shattered
presidents and leaping politicians
if Rolph decides, for his healths
sake, to retire.
/, The Quinn rumor is growing in
volume. despite his announcement
he would not be a candidate for
governor. One prominent Rolph ap-
pointee said he l<ls confident
Quinn would run-for lieutenant
governor with Rolph, or for COVER
nor if Rolph drops out. In the latter
even, according to the informant
the departments of agriculture, mo-
tor vehicles, public works, veteran
and military affairs and profession
al and vocational standards would
throw their support behind Quinn
Such a combination, politicians
agree, would be one of the strongest
in the split Republican field, since
it would retain much of the power
of the present Rolph machine and
be headed by candidate who bears
good reputation. Additional sup
port might be expected from the
American Legion, since Quinn serv-
ed a term as national commander
Definite answers to some of the
numerous questions were expected
soon. Governor Rolph, according 10
reports reaching here, is restless,
and may be expected to leave his
peninsula resting spot and return to
his capitol office almoSt any time.
When he does, observers believed, he
undoubtedly will have something to
say concerning the many reports
that have circulated during his ill
ness.

in the valley he mas conferred with
representatives Of practically every
line of endeavor in the valley. He
said this morning that when he first
received notice of his appointment
to come here and act as labor con-
ciliator he did not know what he
would find after his arrival, so
much had already been said and
written about conditions existing IN
the valley.
He came merely to conduct a
thorough investigation which would
enable him TO get at the truth con-
corning conditions here and felt that
as an outsider he would be able TO
do this with the greatest Satisfac-
ton. He has met with the Supervi-
sors, police officials. growers, ship
pers, field workers, shed workers,
avowed Communists, members of
the Mexican association sponsored
by Joaquin Terrazas, Mexican con-
sui, and with anyone who wished to
come voluntarily and offer evidence
which would enable him to gain the
true picture he sought.
With Glassford, commission ap-
pointed jointly by the California
Farm Bureau federation and the
state chamber of commerce also
made an investigation into condi-
lions here. This commission was
composed Of John Phillips, assem-
blyman from Riverside county as
chairman, c. B. Hutchinson, dean OF
the college of agriculture, University
of California and w. c. Jacobsen, Of
the state department of agriculture.
Their report is to be submitted 10

RECLAMATION
SERVICE WILL
HURRY CANAL
Continued From Page II

approximate 200 feet wide at the
water surface, 1874 feet bottom width
and % feet deep. Reaching Imperial
Valley it will be 80 miles long and
at Coachella Valley, 100 miles.
Assures Adequate Water
According to engineers, the pro-
ject will insure an adequate supply
of water for both districts through
out the 365-day crop year. To dis
tribute it to the $4,000 acres of ar
able land in the Imperial Irrigation
district, nearly LOO miles of canals
and later conduits will - required.
Nearly $1,000 acres of land in the
Coachella Valley can be irrigated
under present construction plans,
engineers say.
The arabic area will be increased
to approximately 100000 acres by
extending the adjacent east mesa,
west mesa, Pilot Knob mesa and
Dos Palmas units AS unit of this
system, a new diversion dam will be
built IS miles northeast of Yuma
and five miles north of Laguna
dam, the diversion point of the
main canal. The dam will raise the
water level of the river some % feet,
it was said.
Although the government has adj
vanced S33,500,000 for the canals
construction, the appropriation was
made as a loan, repayable under a
contract negotiated with the irriga-
Con district.
Engineers expect considerable dit-
ficulty in forging the canal through
the shifting sand hills west of Yu-
MAJ Cuts a, deep as 100 feet are an
ticipated for a distance of 10 miles.
To prevent the canal from being
covered by the sands, the govern
ment is planning to plant vegeta-
ton on each side Of the main con-
duit and spray the banked slopes
with oil. Construction plans call for
numerous siphons and culverts to
carry the water under washes. Ten
culverts are planned for the Imper-
ial Valley canal and 70 for the Goa
chella branch. Siphons will carry
the canal under the Alamo and New
rivers.

The statement attributed to
Hayes prompted Brookhart to write
this reply:
"As a member of the American
Legion I challenge your right as
its commander to put false con-
struction upon the acts of any
member for political purposes.
II challenge your insolent and
autocratic assumption as more
dangerous and seditiouS than
any public policy 1 have ever adj
yocated.
When did you become dictator
of the opinions of Legionnaires on
the farm problem?"
Brookhart said that if Hayes
really were interested in regiment
alton he would try and get night
school started for you SO you learn
how the railroad laws, how the
banking laws, the tariff laws, the
corporation laws and gambling
markets have 'regimented' the
farmers into Is years of depreS-
sion.''

lean canal, he meant just what

From that time down to the
present, as Mr.. Swing points
out, The Press has upheld the
pledge he made.
Those who have made the
baseless charge throughout the
years have not injured The
Press, except that through their
false accusations they have
slandered the memory of a man
whom The Press loved and
whose ideals have become its
ideals.
We who have come after him
had the honor and the privilege
to sit at his feet. From him we
learned not only the practical
principles of journalism, but
those high ideals on which any
newspaper worthy the name, is
founded. He insisted that truth,
fairness, accuracy and integri-
ty are the foundations on
which a successful newspaper
must rest.

night by the sheriff's office that a
teletype message had been received
telling Of sedan with Minnesota

Crown Point, Indiana, jail some few
weeks ago after his capture in Tue
son, Arizona, is thought to have re-

tendant in Brawley about two weeks
ago and before that he was said to
have been in San Bernardino, &C.
cording to press reports.
Authorities throughout Southern
