WITH BOARD
Brawley Director Able To At
tend Conferences After Abb
sence OF Weeks.

For the first time since late Oct
ober there was full membership
at a meeting of the irrigation dis
trict board of directors this morn
ing when A. j. Kalin, director from
the Brawley district, took his place
at the board table. Kalin had been
kept away from meetings in Ell Gen.
tro due to injuries received in an
accident in Arizona a few days
previous to October 81.
Although prevented by his in
jury from attending the meetings
here, the Brawley director kept
constantly in touch with district af-
fairs and several informal meetings
were held at his home at which
questions concerning the policy of
the board relative to the All-Am-
erican canal construction and other
matters were discussed.
Hugh Osborne, county superviS-
or, appeared before the board rela-
tive to right of way for a drain
age canal to be dug in the McCabe
district. This is a CWA project to
relieve surface drainage and protect
roadbedS in that district and the
board voted that condemnation

the necessary right of way for this
drainage ditch.

Randall Henderson, publishers OF
The Press, the Brawley News and
Calexico Chronicle appeared before
the board relative to the All-Am-
erican Canal issue to be published
by these three valley newspapers
early next month. Costello told
the board that the special edition
would publicize the canal, giving the
history of that great project since
the first time the canal idea was
broacheo. This special edition Is to
be in a magazine form and some
10000 copies are to be printed for
the regular readers of these three
papers and also for general circu-
lation.
The board voted to cooperate with
this publication in every possible
way and when the question OF
printing photographs of the sever
al directors was debated, the prob
lem was finally left to the chair
man and secretary of the board to
work out all the details of what
shall be put in the two pages OF
space taken by the board.
Matters of general routine occu-
pied the board IS attention for the
greater part of the morning ses-

ional President Carlos Hevia, 81
year-old Annapolis graduate, sought
to organize a government today
while the political powers who push

cabinet of President Ramon Grau
San Martin whom they forced out
of office, were in open and danger

but could not effect He was openly
against Batista and trying to alien

geant so as safely to drive him out.
Batista, who, since he led the re-
volt of army and navy enlisted men
that put Grau in office has kept his
men solidly behind him, was sup

though his candidate to succeed
Grau was Col Carlos Mendieta, ma
tionalist leader and considered the
most popular old line politician in
the country.
This morning army men guarded
the presidential palace and the ar

ruling by Comptroller General Nc
Carl has hopelessly tied up funds OF
the Federal Housing Corporation,
aggregitirag 100000 900 Public
Works Administrator Ickes said to-
day.
In effect, Ickes said, the comp

McCarl has refused to approve
any disbursements by the corpora

This work is entirely separate from
that of the Federal Emergency

Ickes said congressional action to

NO CHANCE TO
PATCH VALLEE
MARITAL ROW

CHICAGO, Jan. 16. U.P)-Rudy
Vallee, whose path to fame led
through the hearts of many a fair
radio listener, sped eastward today
away from the tangling technical
tiles of a legal action started by the
woman who once was dearest to
him.
Rudy, whose private investigators
tapped the beautiful Fay Webb VAL
lees private telephone line and dis
covered surprising things about her
extra marital acquaintanceS, was
reticent to talk about the suit for
separate maintenance in which Fay
won the first skirmish in Los An
geles yesterday.
Asked if there was any chance OF
a reconciliation with Fay the curly
haired singer responded vehement
ly, mot the slightest.
Although denying that he has be-
come embittered of womankind VAL
lee also declared there is no chance
of his marrying Alice Fay.
Besides, that would be bigamy,"
he said, "-darned bigamy."
Rudy was accompanied by his
New York attorney, Hyman Bushel,
who protested reports that the pair
left Los. Angeles in haste to escape
process servers.
I'VE left the coast without any
effort to evade anybody" said Bu-
shell. "Rudy's got to be back in New
York tomorrow to fulfill his radio
contract"
With respect to the telephone con-
versations between Gary Leon and
Fay, Bushel indicated that only
portions of the evidence obtained by
investigators had been revealed. IF
we disclosed all of it Leon would be
frightfully embarrassed" he said.

CRISIS SEEN
IN FAR EAST
Soviet Leaders Believe War
To Be Practically Inevitable
In 1885.
BY JOSEPH III. BAIRD
United Press Staff Correspondent


MOSCOW, Jan. 16. - The Soviet
government believes that war
threats in the far east will reach a
crisis next year, it was learned to-
day from a high source.
The most critical phase of the
far eastern situation, it was made
known, is expected when the world
naval conference is scheduled to
meet in 1885. Many rumors con-
corning Russia and Japan have cir
culated frequently in foreign cap
itals, but it was said authoritative
ly that for the present Soviet gov
ernment does not foresee war with
Japan.
AS for the 1888 crisis, it was fore
cast that the naval conference might
not be held at all, because of the
obvious prospect of its failure.
Japan is openly aiming to in
crease its relative naval strength as
compared to the United States and
Great Britain. Russia will take
part in the conference if it is held
it was said.
Russia looks forward to a Jap
anese effort to dominate all eastern
Asia, including the Pacific provinces
of Russia, it was said authoritative
ly.
But this would be after japan
had strengthened its position ir
Manchukuo and improved its mil
itary and naval forces.
The Russian government under.
stands at present that the Russian
employees of the Chinese Eastern
railway now held in Manchukuc
will be released soon, permitting re.
sumption of negotiations for sale Of

Holfuille Ranch
Granted Loan

Closing papers for a commission
er's loan, the first to be received
in Imperial Valley, were obtained
today, the loan amounting to $500
on ranch near Holtvlle.
While the loan will be closed, the
actual money will not be received
for some 80 days since the matter
must be taken through the courts.
The Holtville bank, now closed, had
a mortgage on the ranch, and for
this reason court procedure becomes
necessary.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 16. U.P) -
A stern denunciation of vicious and
abhorrent political practices" in
Louisiana was conveyed to the SEN
ate today by its special committee
which investigated 1882 campaign
expenditures by Senator Huey P.
Longs state Democratic organiza-
tion.
The committee reported that it
felt itself bound "candidly and
frankly to reveal to the senate the
deplorable and distressing political
conditions existing in Louisiana"
Political organizations in the state
it said, play the political game ac-
cording to the standard that the re-
suit is the important thing and the
means of obtaining it are second
ary conditions
Long frequently has referred to
himself as "the Louisiana kingfish."
The committee apparently agreed
with him, for it had this to say
about the state Democratic asSocia-
ton:
1T appears that Senator Huey P.
Long and his lieutenants complete
ly controlled the affairs and policies
of that organization + :. 1t fur
ther appears that this organization
dominates and controls not only the
governor of Louisiana and its poll
cies but also directs and controls
all, or practically all, of the state
departments and their employees" ="
The committee was instructed to
inquire into the 1882 primary cam
paign in which Senator Overton, q
Long candidate, defeated former
Senator Broussard. Brouss sard d
charged that his defeat was brought
about by fraudulent election tactics.
Although it made no recommend
ations, the committee directed Wig
orous attack on dummy -candidate"

George Kalinoglou died intes-
tate December Is, 1888, survived
by his widow, father, mother, and
brothers and sisters, all Of whom
except petitioner, Abraham Kali
inoglou, are subjects of Greece.
Petitioner Abraham Kalinoglou
is a resident of the District OF
Columbia and was naturalized
citizen of the United on Decem-
ber 10, 1928.
The decedent's estate consists
of money, half interest in a lunch
room business, and claim for
damages growing out OF his
death.
one month after decedent's
death, Nicholas G. Lely, First
Secretary of the Legation OF
Greece and Acting Consul OF
Greece in the District of Colum-
bia, filed a petition to be ap-
pointed administrator of dece-
dents estate. He did not set
forth IN CQe peClC1Ou CAldU CAA0 Ne-
.cedent left no heirs at law or
that he had made any investlga-
ton to ascertain whether he left
heirs at law competent under our

upon his application, letters OF
administration were granted to
him without notice.
Petitioner Abraham Kalinoglou
was visiting his parents in Greece
at the time of his brothers sud-
den death and Immediately re-
turned to this country upon

Gently created Government agen-
cies, this realtor expects to begin
his developments in the near
future.
So closely does the new system
of construction work out that the
plumbing and heating openings
and wiring provisions are included
in the "prefabrication." More
over, the plumbing comes ready to
install in assembled units, thus
cutting labor charges by as much
as 40 per cent.
One big factor in stimulating
the building of modest homes is
the elimination of sales and pro.
motion expense, which during the
heyday of speculative home-build-
ing, sometimes amounted to as
much as 20 per cent Of the value
Of the property, according to this
expert, who sees a new era in
building once the long-term type
Of mortgage sponsored by the gov
ernment, gets full headway.
In this connection, Mr.. johnson
said:

years or five years, but 1S and

with their high interest and
premium charges will no longer
be needed. All financing will
be on one long term mortgage
with no renewal charge.
''NOw the simple change Of
interest rate from six per cent
to five per cent means a saw
ing of nearly 19 per cent on
the monthly payments to pay
off completely in 18 years: and
il the mortgage was for GO per

property, this saving in interest
would amount to Ill per cent
of the full value. In other
words, the same monthly pay
ments that would have bought
q $1,000 home at six per cent

home at 5 per cent interest on

Pappas Case No Precedent

The respondent relies upon
Diamantopoulos v. Glekas, ante,
in support of his claim of ex'
elusive right to administer the
estate but upon examination
thereof it will be found that 1t
was limited to the facts in that
case which were that the de.
cedent, Pappas, died intestate
survived by three alien brothers
as his only next Of kin and heirs
(and under Sec. 261 aliens are
disqualified as administrators.
It also appears that the dece.
dent, Pappas, left an alien
brother residing in the District
of Columbia who requested the
court to appoint Glekas as ad-
ministrator of his brothers es-
tate. This was opposed by the
Greek consul who claimed the
right upon the facts in that case
to be appointed as sole admins
traitor of the estate by virtue of
the treaty between the United
States and the Republic of
Greece, there being no person
competent under the code to act
as such administrator. Th e
Court of Appeals reversed the
appointment of the stranger and
held, p. 1874:
"In the absence of cOmpe-
tent relatives or creditors of
the decedent the consul
was entitled to the sole ap-
pointment under these circum-
stances"
In the case of Santovincenzo v.
Egan, 284 U. S. 80. which was
referred to by respondents coun-
sci at the oral hearing, there is
nothing to sustain his contention
of the superior right of the re-
spondent to administer the

the estate is in peril, to inter.
vene at once, and If other rep
resentativeS are lacking, they
are, moreover, to have the
right to be appointed admins
traitors themselves.
"They are to have this right,
not to displace others cOmpe-
tent under local law, but the
better to fulfill their inherent
function as provisional cOnser-
vatOrs. If there is no qualified
relative within the Jurisdiction
and no one else to whom our
law gives the right Of admins
tratiOn, the consular repre-
sentative under this treaty
(Sweden) may come forward
and demand the grant Of let
terS."
Concluding the learned deci
sion, Mr.. Justice Cardozo, at p
22S, said:
"We think, therefore, that
the convention with Sweden
did not create an exclusive
right, and that we ought not
to treat the dictum in Rocca
v. Thompson, 223 U. S. S17,
331, as q ruling to the con-
trary."
