PROTEST BY
CHAMBER ON
FEDERAL CUT.

Protests have been made by the
El Centro Chamber of Commerce
to Senators johnson and McAdoo
and Congressman Burnham con-
cerning the proposed cut of so per
cent in the agricultural appropria-
ton for the fruit frost forecaSting
service maintained in agricultural
communities by the U. s. weather
bureau According to Floyd Young.
meteorologiSt of Pomona, in charge
OF this district of the weather bu-
reau, such a cut would necesSitate
the diScontinuance of some of the
services in Southern California
and, as the Imperial Valley service
is one of the most recently eStab-
liShed there is grave danger that
the service here, under the direc-
ton of Fred Baughman, would be
discontinued if the appropriation
were cut.
In kilograms to Washington,
Robert Hays, manager of the Ell
Centro chamber, has pointed out
that elimination of the frost fore
casting service in Imperial Valley
would seriously affect the vegetable
and citrus industries, which pro-
duce two-thirds of Imperial VAL
ley'S annual income The work
here has resulted in much preven-
ton of frost damage, Hays points
out. in connection with the winter
vegetable and fruit crop and the
of Baughman in this
area have resulted in highly val
liable development of a compare
lively frostleSs area of land which
further increases the value of I'M
perial Valleys winter vegetable
crop.
1t was largely through the activ-
tiles of the Ell Centro Chamber of
Commerce, working in cooperation
with Frank Beyschlag, farm advis-
OF and B. A. Harrigan, horticultur-
al commissioner, that the fruit
frost service was established in I'M
perial Valley. The local chamber
has given financial assistance in
the way of replacing instruments
and other necessary expenditures
to those carrying on this valuable

HEAR ADDRESS
BY DA|RyMAN

O.. r. Fuller, of the Fuller
Rancho, Corona, will be the speak
er at the meeting. of the ASSociat-
ed Chambers of Imperial County
to be held in Holtville tonight.
Fuller will speak of the Importance
of feeder cattle to Imperial Valley
based on his belief that the op-
portunity is now offered for cows
serving the Los Angeles market to
be fed and MIXED in Imperial
county.
In a recent statement made here
Fuller said, the ruinously low
prices prevailing there makes it
impossible for Los Angeles men
interested in the dairy industry
to lay in supply of Imperial VAL
ley alfalfa to feed their COWS in
that area. The alternative, of
course, is to send their COWS to
Imperial Valley and ship the milk
to the metropolitan areas" Fuller's
talk will be of particular interest
to the dairymen and alfalfa grow
erS of this community.
r. C. Allen, chartered account
ant of Los Angeles, will also speak
at this meeting, having been in
vited to the meeting by the I'm
perial County league Of NUM-
cipalities, which group is meeting
Jointly with the associated cham
bers. Miss May Juvenal, city clerk
Of Brawley, will also talk on mat
ters of interest to both groups.
Dinner will be served at 7 o'clock
at the civic center in Holtville

have promised one of the turkey
! dinners for which that city is

EXCHANGE TO
ACCEPT RULE
BY CONGRESS

WASHINGTON, Feb. %. UP)-
The New York stock exchange to-
day capitulated to the theory of
governmental control of its activi-
ties and had before congress its
own proposal as to how that regu-
lation should be conducted.
The proposal was set forth be-
fore the house interstate commerce
committee yesterday by Richard
Whitney, suave but some times ir-
ritable head of the exchange. 1t
was submitted after a day in which
he challenged the value and des-
cribed supposed dangers of the
stringent bill now pending.
As an alternative to the congress
Sional bill, placing all stock eX-
changes under the control of the
federal trade commission, Whit
ney's proposal suggested the crea-
ton of a stock exchange co-ordi-
mating authority composed chiefly
of government officials or appoint
eeS.
Ferdinand Pecora, Investigator
for the senate banking committee
in its sensational inquiry into eX-
change and banking practices,
hailed as "victory' the fact that
the exchange was willing to submit
to regulation at all.
Whitney denied that the eX-
change had sent a $2000,000 slush
fund to Washington to be used in
the fight on the bill. The charge
was made to members of the house
committee in a telegram sent by
Gene Mccain, New York City
broker, who is said to be suing the
exchange Tor $60,000000.
