panies which have been asked to
withdraw their land and leases from
the market at once, according to
Murphy shows that the selling price
requested is excessive; that no ad-
equate provisions have been made
for marketing carbon dioXide gas
should such gas be found in COM
mercial quantities on the project;
that the interests of the purchasers
are not properly protected in the
matter of joint leases to insure fu-
ture development of the lands and
that the department has not been
furnished information showing a
financial set-up sufficient to justify
a promotional project of the kind
which has been developed in these
three cases.
Until the past session of legisla-
ture the state real estate depart
ment has been somewhat limited
in its authority to stop sales of
Chocolate Mountain lands, but dur
ing the past meeting of the legisla-
tive body new laws were enacted
which now give that department
authority over potential oil and gas
lands as we'll as agricultural lands.
1t is through the new state laws
that the department has been able
to take definite action in regard
to those selling Imperial county
lands with carbon dioxide gas pos
sibilities when the actual chance
of developing such gas is question
able, and Murphy states that if
these companies refuse to comply
with the department IS request to
withdraw their lands and leases
from the market further steps will
be taken as provided by the Califor-
mia Real Estate Act.

Economy Practiced
In County Schools

Illustrating the resourcefulness
used by teachers in the county
schools who have had to invent new
materials for work when the old
have been too expensive, are a num-
ber of articles on display at Mrs.
Grace Ferrell S office in the court
house.
No longer are the schools able
to affNd commercial clay for art
work but the teachers in a number
of schools have used the clay in
the yards. Tiles, bowls and a num-
ber of other attractive articles have
been fashioned from this material.
Another new material is waste
paper which when ground up and
mixed with homemade paste makes
quite good material for making
of pot bowls, jars, and other items.

APOPLEXY MAY
SAVER|NTELEN

VIENNA, Aug. 4 G.N.S).-The
new Austrian government will be
spared the embarrassment of try
ing DR.. Anton Rintelen, Austrian
ambassador to Rome, for high
treason, it appeared today.
DR.. Rintelen, who was named
as Chancellor DollfuSs'S successor
by the NaziS in a broadcast when
they seized the government radio
station at the time they invaded
the chancellery and murdered the
Chancellor, suffered an apoplectic
stroke during the night.
Paralysis is setting in on his left
side and it became evident that
the nearly 70-yearold diplomat
who shot himself in the chest
when the Nazi putsch failed would
not survive. He is in the hospital
Of the Vienna prison, where he
was removed for safe keeping after
40 armed Nazis tried to invade the
municipal hospital and rescue him.
There are many who do not
want DR.. Rintellen to go on trial.
On the witness stand in his own
defense he would be dangerous.
He might tell how highly Nazi-
ism had permeated in the Dollfuss
government, how much treachery
to DR.. Dollfuss there was among
his own appointees and he might
name among the Nazi SYM
pathizers men in important posts
in the present government.
The police announced today
that DR.. Erich F'uhrer, the law
yer who defended Dollfuss's as
sassin, Otto Planetta, had been
arrested because letters involving
him in the Nazi putsch had been
found in his apartment.
DR.. SchuSchnigg took control of
the army last night issuing a
proclamation:
81, as an old soldier Of the
glorious Imperial Army, assume
command of the Austrian
Army"

ton.

8 DEMOCRATS
SEEK SENATE

CHARLESTON, w. Va, Aug.
QN.SJ.-After the most acrimo'
NOUS party fight in the States
history, nine candidates for the
Democratic nomination for the
United States Senate wound up
their campaigns today.
On Tuesday, West Virginia's S
$4,000 registered voters will Sc
lect two nominees for the Senate
in addition to naming a hundred
or more candidates for local Of
fices.
United States Senator Henry D.
Hatfield, Of Huntington, is con-
ceded denomination on the Repub-
lican ticket, which lists four other
candidates.
Nine candidates are in the field
for the Democratic nomination,
including Rush D. Holt, of Wes-
ton, who will not be 80 until
next June. The United States
Constitution provides that a
Senator must be at least 30 years
old, but Mr.. Holt is running on
the aSumSption that the Senate
is empowered to make its own
rules for seating its members.
Postmaster General James Far
ley has endorsed Clem Shaver,
of Fairmont, for the nomination
an action which brought at
tackS from other candidates.
The Democratic party this
year, for the first time in 20
years, holds a majority of the
registered voters. The majority
is 84,475. In 1892, the Repub.
Ncan majority was 22,169.

VARIED CAREER
FIT BALDWIN
FOR POST
Commercial National Bank
Receiver Has Liquidated
Many Concerns
By EUGENE A. KELLY

Robert c. Baldwin, receiver for
the Commercial National Bank,
has had a varied business career.
For many years he was con-
nected with the manufacturing
industries, having hquidated large
concerns which had Government
contracts. He also had experience
in investment banking.
He acted as financial adviser
to q committee which was sent
abroad several years ago to study
aviation and the dirigible indus
tries in various European coun-
tries. He was commissioned to
this position because Of his me-
chanical, industrial and financial
background.
He was sent later on similar
trips to the British Isles and Con-
tinental Europe.
In Many Industries
After this work, Mr.. Baldwin
became affiliated with the auto
mobile industry in Michigan, the
oil industry in California and
Oklahoma, the mining industry in
Arizona and Montana, the steel
and iron business in Cleveland
and Pittsburgh, and the ship
building industry at various ship
yards along the Atlantic coast.
With this experience as his
background, he decided to go into
the banking business. He applied
for a job in a New York bank and
was accepted.
It was while he was connected
with this bank that he specialized
in analysis. of the values Of Secur-
tiles for banking institutions.
TOOK u. s. POSITION
At this period of his life he be-
came interested in liquidation
work in insolvent banks, and in
1881 filed an application for a
position in the insolvent national
banks division of the Treasury De-
partment.
He was almost Immediately ap-
pointed receiver of the State Ma
tional Bank in Lynn, Mass. He
liquidated the assets Of this bank
over q 14-month period. He then
was called to Washington to take
over the receiverShip Of the Com
mercial National Bank.
He is neither a Republican nor
q Democrat. He has not voted
for many years because of various
business commissions which kept
him on the move and therefore
made voting impossible.

most valuable weapons Of both Of
fense and defense.
The Army possesses only II
modern tanks at the present time.
All the rest, numbering several
hundred, are of World-War manu-
facture and are considered so OBJ
solete in design as to be COM
pletely useless for employment
against any modern unit on the
battlefield. Their maximum speed
is not over four or five miles an
hour, whereas, an ability to 60 18
or 20 is considered mandatory and
a greater one highly desirable.
On the other hand, France
possesses approximately 1900 mod
ern tanks, while Great Britain has
nearly 1000 modern armored cars
and tanks.
Rifles Obsolete
Practically all the rifles in the
Army are so old an enemy
equipped with modern weapons
could outshoot an American
doughboy without difficulty,
whereas at the time of Americas
entry into the World War, the
Army had 100000 of the finest
rifles developed. Now, it has only
a few of the new automatic rifles
possessed by the armies OF most
Of the other big powers.
The same situation applies to
field artillery. The Army is
loaded down with obsolete, war
time guns with a firing range Of
1000 yards but has only an in
finitesimal number of the new
Is, ,000-yard weapons, not even
enough to meet training needs,
Thus, an enemy equipped with
the new weapons could remain
5000 yards out Of range Of the
American guns and blow the
American emplacementS to bits.
Few Gas Masks
The Army is go per cent below
its peace-time defensive needs in
modern antiaircraft guns, and
there are not enough gaSmasks
available to equip half of the
present standing Army of ap-
proximately $4,000 officers and
men, much less any army that
would be mobilized in event Of
war.
Enforced economy at the hands
Of the budget bureau and Con
gresSional failure to appropriate
more funds is held responsible for
the condition, which high rank
ig Army officers claim would
give this country small chances
to win a modern war.
Chief Of Staff Gen. Douglas
Macarthur considers the coming
year critical one for the Army.
Unless urgently needed funds are
granted, he believes, the Army
might as well be disbanded en-
tirely.
