To Be HOST
To CHAMBERS

t. j. Worthington, president of
the Winterhaven Chamber of Com
merce, in a communication to the
Ell Centro Chamber of Commerce,
has invited the people of Ell Cen
tro to join with Calexico and Holt
vile in good will trip to Impe-
rial county's most eastern city on
Thursday evening. Worthington
states that the Winterhaven cham
Der will meet at 8 o'clock, Arizona
time, at the school house and that
representatives from the other ci-
ties of the county are invited to
this meeting to renew acquaint-
ances with the residents of Winter
haven and to see the progress
which is being made in growth and
progress in that community.
The Ell Centro group will leave
at 5:45 California time and will
meet at chamber of commerce
headquarters at that hour. This
will enable them to drive to Win
terhaven in time for the meeting
which will be at o'clock California
time. w. H. Tyler, Jr, president
of the local chamber, is particular
ly anxious that the businessmen
of the city should make this trip
in order to build up closer rela-
tionships between Winterhaven
and Ell Centro.
Winterhaven, it is pointed out,
has grown amazingly in the past
few months ana IS destined, with
the construction work on the ALL
American canal, to show much ad-
ditional growth and development.
While it is somewhat isolated from
the other cities of Imperial county,
it is California city and its pros
perity means much to the county
as whole.
Reports from CaleXico and Holt
vile indicate that there will be
good representation from these two
cities at Winterhaven on Thursday
night and groups from these ci-
ties will meet the Ell Centro dele
cation at the Winterhayen school
house.

WASHINGTON, May 9.-Henry
A. Wallace, secretary of agriculture
patron of the arts, has in his office
now a vivid, modernistic plaque
which contrasts strangely with the
Lady in Cheesecloth" picture hang
ing in the hall.
The latter, done in classical fash
ion and depicting an idealized har-
vest scene, created controversy
when the modernists said it had no
place in such a modern atmosphere
as that of the Agricultural Adjust
ment Administration.
There will be no sucn complaints
about the hand-painted plaque,
which was presented to Wallace by
Julian Lee Rayford, PWA artist
who produced it.
In orange, yellow and green tints
it depicts "Coatlique,' the Aztec
corn goddess, coming out of an ear
of corn. There is rim of wriggling
flame around her head.
Wallace said he liked the plaque.
Assistant Secretary ReXford G. Tug

SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT

In Mondays Looking Backward" col
umn of The Press, under the heading
Twenty Years Ago" appeared the fol-
lowing item: eel Centro needs city
hall in keeping with its reputation of be-
ing the fastest growing city on earth
The folks 20 years ago believed in COW
erlng plenty of territory, the earth being
quite large place.
1t is something of reflection on our
city, however, that the condition has not
been altered in 20 years insofar as hav-
ing city hall is concerned.
Certainly it seems as though over
such long period something could have
been done to provide city building, but,
for the life of us, we cannot figure out
where there has been extravaganza dur
ing that time; any white elephant"
transactions; anything built or bought
that was not absolutely necessary.
The clty's business is transacted sat-
lstactorily in its present quarters. There
is no kick on that score. The absence of a
city hall is merely a blow at our citv
pride and resembles somewhat the atti-
tude of man who owns a low-priced
car and wishes he had a high-priced one.
we have no desire or intention to come
out and demand a city hall-most GER
talnly not in these times. However. we
cannot resist the temptation to point out
that Brawley built city hall and a fine
.one IN most novel and practical way.
The city council possibly has plans on
the subject. If not we would suggest
that city hall commensurate with the
Importance of a city of over 10000 per-
sons and having the seat of the county
government, is something to null over;
something to be kept in mind and ways
and means provided for getting such a
building at the earliest possible oppor-
tunity
We aren't exactly ashamed of the fact
that Ell Centre has no city hall, neither
can we feel proud of the fact.
Indiana came through yesterday with
an endorsement of the "new deal' but
there was no record that John Dillinger.
citizen of Indiana, was one of the en-
dorSers.
Anyone with sense of humor can't
help chuckling over the wild scramble
by San Diego to get in the valleys good
graces. The approach of the vacation
season has nothing to do with it.

INSULL DESERTED

A tragic contrast in his position has
been brought home to Samuel insult,
once a power in Chicago and now pris-
oner in its jail.
Three years ago insult had command
of fortune estimated at 500, 100000.
Yesterday he was unable to make bail of
100000 demanded by the government
and was forced to go behind the bars.
We hold no brief for insult. 1t is
pity to see man of "a, who has known
all that wealth and power can bring,
doomed in his old age to face disgrace
and possibly punishment. But this pity
is outweighed when we think of the
countless men and women who lost their
life's savings in the crash of the insult
empire.
There were other men who rode to af-
fluence on the crest of Insults success
and some of them still have much of the
wealth he enabled them to amass.
To date none of them has come for
ward to help the man who made them
rich. There has been no offer from any
individual or group to make up the
amount of his bail so as to keep him from
Jail cell. On the contrary, there is in
dicated a perfect willingness to let In
sull take the rap" as Chicago phrases
it. Moreover there is reported consider
able CONSERVATION among tnoSe formerly
associated with insult, regarding what
his return to stand trial may mean for
them.
If insult has done wrong he was not
alone in doing wrong. Others should
answer in addition to him and members
of his immediate family. Perhaps they
will be made to answer.
insult is reviled and abused on all
sides. Perhaps he deserves it, but to our
way of thinking his "fair weather
friends" are even more deserving of con-
demnation than he is.
There is an old saying about rats de-
serting a sinking ship" The insult ship
seems to have been populated with con-
siderable of the species, though real
rat will fight for its own and will not
desert them.

Ivy, as you know, is a new out

but between outfielding seasons
he finds plenty of time for other
things too. He's assistant foot
ball coach at the University Of
Georgia and right hand assistant
to Harry Mehre, whose Georgia

II may kill him."
He observed today, thought
fully, as though somewhat i'm
pressed with the Importance of
this possibility. He seemed to
feel that it might be unfortunate.
He continued:
"Carnera is worried about
something and I think it's me.
Beyond that, 1 know nothing
about him except what they
tell me. They say he is physi-
cally unSOund and that's too
bad. 1t really is. I don't want
to walk out there and hit a
guy like that. If 1 have to let
go with my Sunday punch, I
don't want any invalid in front
of me-"
These observations were offered
by the young man shortly before
he started back for ASbury Park,
N. j., and the remainder of his
training for the June IA title
fight. The remainder of his
training, judge, is to be pretty
much like the remainder of a pic
mic lunch, in fact, somebody else'S
picnic lunch.
You may finish it, but the law
says you don't have to like it.
However, John Dempsey Is COM

may change all that. John is a
nice fellow but old fashioned.
He's all for clean living and right
thinking on the part of pugilists
and is liable to lose all Self-con-
troll at the sight of a punching
bag.
Right now, however, Baer has
other ideas. He's going to do
more than Outright Carnera. He's
even going to out-thinh him. In
other words, this is going to be
one of those intellectual fights.
Mr.. Baer is very intellectual. He
reads Will Rogers and everything.
He also says:
"Carnera's just a big autOm.
atOn"-Can this be the Tunney
influence?-"He'S like a monkey.
He can initiate, but he doesn't
know why he's doing it. All he
does is make gestures. In an

Ill effects"
This was what Tommy Thomas,
veteran pitcher, had to report to
Trainer Mike Martin yesterday
in the clubhouse before the
opener Of the Griff-St. Louis
series-a report that had its
meaning as Manager Joe Cronin
pointed out today when accosted
on the subject.
To Start in Chicago
Said the boy manager:
"Yep, I heard about TOmmy's
condition, rs both he and Mar
tin told me on the bench during
yesterdays game. But l don't
think I'll pitch Tommy in this
series, as I've already had it
mapped out to use Weaver and
Whitehill in the two remaining
games"
Thomas recent workouts have
been keeping the veteran hurler
busy ever since he was injured at
washington.
Bit of Work Each Day
He's had to run and throw by
degrees every day before the games
in an effort to get the soreness
out Of his chest, which part Of
his body was hit soundly by Ray
Pepper, outfielder of the st. Louis
Browns, whose liner it was that
hit Tommy over the heart.
Yesterday was the first day the
Stocky Highlander failed to feel
any ill-effects. AS a result, today
he is once more ready to take a
turn on the hill, even though
Cronin has it planned to keep
him idle until Chicago is reached
on Saturday.
The Griffs began their series
here in the wrong way yesterday.
Despite 10 hits gathered off BUCK

lost to Hornsby's crew. to z:
To accomplish the feat OF 1lnaIIy
beating the Browns, the team
bobbed up in yesterdays opener
First, Monte Weaver, who hurlS
today, must be in far better tettle
than was Lefty Stewards fortune.
Hit In Bunches
Second, the hitting must come
more in punches, in fact no hits
must be wasted, while third the
fielding must not crack at those
moments when the pitcher work
ing at the moment needs every bit
Of support he can receive to get
by.
The Griffs opened against the
Cleveland Indians last week by
losing only to make a grand
comeback when two inspiring
victories were won.
It isn't the least impossible
event for the same to rule in
this current series with the
Browns. At any rate, the Griffs
held these thoughts today even
though in this case they haven't
won a game from the Browns
since start of the campaign.
Cronin stated that Fred Schultz
would return to the lineup today
to stay.
Schultz Rested
The big outfielder, withdrawn
from action two days ago because
the worry Of his wife'S illness al
fected his general high standard
Of play, has had a thorough rest
now.
Schulte's return will mean that
Johnny Stone will be shifted back
to his accustomed right field posi-.
ton. Johnny has hit pretty well
for the Griffs on this trip, his
work in Detroit having been un-
usually noteworthy. In that Sc
ries he hit .545.
