COMBAT ACTIVITIES Of REDS

At recent meeting held in BraW-
ley which was attended by conSid-
cradle number OF prominent citizens
of Imperial county the question of
the growing menace of Communism
to the state and nation was earnest
ly discussed.
Judge Vaughn Thompson of the
superior court made brief address
in which he pointed out the utter
disregard and contempt on the part
Of Communist agitators for all AM
erican institutions The Judge said
in part:
Communism is today definite
and growing menace to the free in
stitutions which our forefathers
fought so desperately to establish. 1t
is a movement which has as its aim
the complete overthrow of our pre-
sent form of government and the
establishment of a soviet govern
ment with the headquarters in Mos
COW, Russia.
THE utter contempt for our free
institutions and fol- our flag has
been demonstrated l my own court
when Communists OIL trial for Grim
inal SyndicaliSm have declared that
they owed allegiance only to the red
flag of Communism"
He cited instance after instance
of attempts on the part of the
reds" to gain a foothold n Imper-
ial Valley and deplored tie lack of
interest on the part of the general
public in its own welfare.

ATTEMPT To
FLEE PRISON
iCOniinued On Page 81

SAN QUENTIN PRISON, March
13. (UP)-Prison officials and Marin
county authorities were to confer
today on the punishment to be
given four convicts whose unsuc-
cessful effort to escape resulted in
the death of a fellow inmate.
District Attorney Henry Greer
was quoted as saying that no mur-
der charge could be filed against
the quartet and that the only pos
sible charge would be manslaugh-
ter.
The convict slain in the Jail breal,.
attempt was John H. Arbuckle, %.
recently admitted from San Ber-
nardino county on bigamy con-
viction. He was wounded fatally
when a homemade gun exploded.
Authorities believed that the gun
was discharged accidentally when
the four convicts in the escape plot
tied up their fellow prisoners in the
prison electric shop.
Guards prevented the Jail break
and drove the fleeing criminals to
cover with heavy gunfire Will
liam Bagley, 40, San Francisco rob-
ber, was wounded in the legs by the
guards. He was taken to the prison
hospital while his three companions
were placed in dungeons.
Those held in solitary confine-
ment are Ethan McNab, SO, con-
victed bank robber known as the
"yacht bandit; Lewis H. Downes,
20, Alameda county slayer; and
George Fredericks, 38, San Fran
cisco robber.
Authorities said that McNab had
been transferred here from Folsom
after two unsuccessful attempts to
escape at the other prison. Rec
ordS showed that Bagley, the
wounded man, had participated in
numerous escapes and escape at
tempts in Washington and British
Columbia.

CITY VOTERS
NUMBER 4439

With 4439 registered voters in Ell
Centro according to count made
by city officials at the court house
yesterday, the city election on April
9 promises to be an interesting af-
fair. These registration figures are
as of February 28, the last day upon
which intending voters could regis
ter or change their register after
having moved into another precinct,
prior to the election.
Rumor has it that the council
manic race is to be made more in
teresting by the entrance of four
more candidates to join the three
who have already presented their
nomination papers at the city clerks
office. 1t is expected that filing OF
these papers will in all probability
take place within the next day or
two. At present, those who have
filed are H. w. Fawcett, incumbent,
George Damron and Barney Le-
Blanc.
There are at present also three
candidates for the post OF city clerk:
Charles A. Bratton, incumbent, Cal
G.. Mousseau and irwin Maupin.

WILLIAMS FLAT, Ariz., March
l3. U.P)-Two bargeS anchored in
midstream were expected to fire the
first "shot" today in the Arizona
Southern California war over diver.
sion of Colorado River waters.
Five Arizona national guardsmen
and Major F.. J. Pomeroy, their
commandant, we're ready to beat a
hasty but temporary retreat when
the "shot" provided by half-ton
dynamite charge, blasts solid rock
formation for the foundation of the
S10,0OO,O 900 diversion dam of the
Southern California Metropolitan
water district. The troopers were en-
camped on this mud flat, observing
operations and reporting them by
short wave radio to Governor B. B.
Moeur, their commander-in-ch
Barge workers between intervals
of drilling on the California side of
the river, cheered the local troop
ers when the latter, forgetting their
patrol duties for the moment, peeled
off their uniforms and took dip in
the stream to escape the oppressive
heat and swarms of mosquitoes that
made camp life all but unbearable,
Cautiously, they confined their
splashing to the Arizona section of
the river
So far as the troopers know, they
will remain here from now on, keep
ing the Californians on their side
of the river.

HELP SURVEY
Of AVIATION

WASHINGTON, March l3. U.P)--
Secretary of War George H. Dern
has appointed Col. Charles A. Lind
bergh, Orville Wright, Clarence
Chamberlin, and Maj. Gen. Hugh
Drum to make a thorough study of
air mail operations by the army, it
was learned at the war department
today.
General Drum will be chairman
of the committee, which will in
quire into all phases of army air
corps airmail operations to date, it
was said.
Dern's instructions creating the
committee said it would have auth
ority to call witnesses and to take
testimony. All phases of airmail fly
ing will be eXhaustively studied by
this committee, including flying
equipment, croSS-country flying,
night flying, blind or instrument
flying, as we'll as the equipment of
various fields used by the airmail
planes.
Other members of this committee
"ii NC huJ' NhSii' DCiiJuiiiiil -. L ou-
lois, chief of air corps; Maj. Gen.
George S. Simonds, commandant of
the army war college; Maj. Gen.
John w. Gulick, chief of coast ar
tillery, and Brig. Gen. C. E. Kill
bourne, of the general staff.
This prises the so-called
Drum board" which was appoint
ed last July at the time the office
of assistant secretary of war for air
was abolished. The committee made
an exhaustive study of the needs of
the air corps. The first step of this
program was the request for appro-
priation for 1000 new airplanes and
authority to create general head
quarters air force.
The war department announce
ment of the committee said in part:
The secretary of war desires the
committee to study and report upon
performances by the army air corps
in its mission to carry the airmail
as directed by executive order No.
6591, and the adequacy and eff
cheney of its technical flying equip
ment and training for such a mis-
sion"

TERM|TES EAT
CITY RECORDS

Ter1nites, squadrons, battalions
and companies of them, were found
marching up the wall Of the vault
reserved for the records of the
city engineering department this
morning and employees of the de-
partment swung into action against
the invaders.
Armed with spray of question
able odor but undeniable potency,
the office force sprang into the
battle against the pests which have
caused much annoyance to other
city officials and considerable dam
age to city records in the past
Latest word from the battle front
today is to the effect that the en-
emy was routed and the situation
under control.
The termiteS which Fast summer
invaded the vault in the city clerk IS
office had foun,l a small crack
in the wall separating the clerk IS
vault from that used by the city
engineer and leaving their former
field of operations, sought to dis
cover what the records on the other
side of the wall tasted like. The
weak spot in the vault IS defensive
armor will be plugged to prevent
further invasions, the city engi-
neer's office vowed today.

MIRA WAITING
FOR REPORTS
Will Hear Industry Heads Before
Ordering Short Hours And
Higher Wages.

WASHINGTON, March 13. U.P)-
The NRA today awaited reports
from spokesmen for the capital
goods and consumer goods indus
tries before determining its next
step in bringing employment to new
millions of workers.
General Hugh S. johnson said he
awaited the proposals of the COM
mittees of the two great groups of
industry before acting to enforce
anything like a uniform order for a
10 per cent hours reduction and
wage increase for all industry.
He said the committees had been
asked to make suggestions and had
promised such cooperation. If their
proposals appear sound, he said,
they will be tried out.
He pointed out that the sugges-
tions made may not be convincing
and specific and in such case in
dicated the previously announced
10 per cent" program probably
would be put into action immedi-
ately.
The hours-wages program prob
ably would be effective by executive
order applying to all industries ex-
cept those which bring to NRA evi-
dence juStifying exemptions.
