which might develop and that there
was absolutely nc need for federal

egram today asking that he cooper
ate with Gen. GlaSsford and extend
to him every courtesy and assist

there in which they reported con-
ditions intolerable, but everything
has been fixed up down there since
then by the state" said Reardon.
This is violation of state rights

of labor and agricultural disputes
in Imperial Valley. especially when
there aren't any disputes, Reardon
continued. Everything is serene
and everybody is happy down
there"

TARIFF BILL
APPROVED BY
LARGE VOTE
Authorizes Roosevelt To Make
Trade Agreements And Mani
pulate Duties.
FACES FIGHT In SENATE
Drastic Measure Designed To
Build Up Foreign Markets For
American Surplus.

WASHINGTON, March 90. U.p)
The house passed the reciprocal
tariff bill today with Democrats
climbing back on the administra-
ton band wagon which they DESERT
ed on the veterans compensation
issue.
An unofficial tabulation showed
only IL Democrats voted against the
administration measure.
The drastic bill, empowering the
President to make trade agreements
with foreign nations and lower or
raise tariff duties by SO per cent,
now goes to the senate where pro-
longed debate is expected over the
effort to take tariff control tenn
porarily out of the hands of con-
greSS.
The measure as passed carried a
provision limiting trade agreements
and the act to an emergency period
of thre years 1t also forbade use OF
the tariff powers reducing or cam
ceiling the foreign war debts.
The new trade policy, which
shelves temporarily the traditional
tariff rate fights of congress, is de-
signed to build up foreign markets
for American industrial and agri-
cultural surpluSeS.
WASHINGTON, March 90. UP)
The reciprocal tariff bill which
tie Democratic leadership hoped TO
pass by adjournment, survived a
vital test in the house today when
an amendment to restrict the Pre-
sidents trade bargaining powers
was defeated with a record vote.
WASHINGTON, March 29 UP)
The house Democratic leadership
decided to amend the administra-
ton reciprocal tariff bill today to
limit the new trade bargaining pol
icy to three years.
The move, sponsored by the DEM
ocratic members of the ways and
means committee, came as the lead.
ership drove for passage OF the Dill
before adjournment.
Opposition to the bill on grounds
that it would embark the nation
on a permanent trade bargaining
policy was silenced by the decision
to limit the measure.
Under the proposed amendment
the act as we'll as trade agreements
made under it would be limited to
three years after enactment of the
bill.
The Democratic members of the
committee also decided to offer an
amendment which definitely would
serve notice that nothing in the
bill could be construed as giving the
President authority to cancel or re-
duce the War debts.

 Suffer Death

 A dozen Nazis are awaiting trial under the governments new emer- gency laws, prescribing the death penalty for terrorism. None so far has been hanged.
 "The priests led Chancellor Engelbert Dollfuss in his campaign against the Nazis," the spokesman said. And they must pay the price for his betrayal of Germanic Austria.
 "The moment any Nazi is sen fenced to death we shall capture and hold as hostages several priests from various parts of the country.
 These will be killed the mo- ment a Nazi hangs"
