less than budget estimates.
The largest provision was $685.
l55, ,891 for the veterans adminiStra-
ton, a reduction of $50, 1882, 100 from
the present year, made possible by
contemplated continuance of the
economy acts pension and disabil-

tions for the present fiscal year re-

The bill provided for restoration
on July of five per cent of the ID
per cent government pay cut as
asked by the President. The COM
mittee in it's report estimated this

tax appeals; S1,242, $50 for the fed
eral trade commission; $840,898 for
the tariff commission and $125,564

The increased appropriation for
the civil service commission, the
committee said, "is occasioned by
the increased number of eXamina-
tions, by increased retirementS and
by increased postmaster examina :
lions"
!, Recommending more money for
the power commission, the commit
tee said that accounting work of the
commission is behind because of a
personnel shortage.
The Smithsonian institution ap-
preparation should be increased
$4,000 over budget estimates to S3,-
100000, the committee said, so that
scientific reports could be printed in
adequate number.

BATTLE REDS

SACRAMENTO, Jan. 10. W.P)-
Sacramento was quiet today after
a clash between Communist organ
izers and CWA workers had sent
10 men to the emergency hospital
for treatment and resulted in minor
injuries for as many more.
Police reported that approximately
rs CWA workers were involved in
the fight when a number of assert

out strike literature.
The civil workers were said to
have led the attack against the agi-
tators, and the fight was carried to
Communist headquarters
where the furnishings were smash
ed
No arrests were made and lead
ers of the agitators told police they
would not press charges against the
CWA men.
The disturbance was the second

Outbreaks between lettuce field
workers and strikers near Brawley
this morning led to calls for special
Officers TO the affected areas. Seven
men are in the Brawley Jail as a
| result and officials there view the
situation with grave concern. 1t has
been rumored that the American
Legion will be called out in the north
end tonight should the situation
grow still more serious.
This mornings arrests were cauS-
ed by strikers attempting to force
non on-strikers to desist from their
work in the lettuce fields. Officers
answering the calls to these fields
soon had the situation under con-
troll, arrested the agitators and the
workers were permitted to return to
their tasks. No violence was report
ed.
Aided by rs special deputies nam
ed by Sheriff Campbell last night
and 25 traffic officers sent from
San Diego, San Bernardino and
Orange counties, peace officers pre-
pared today to assume control OF
the strike situation which is now in
its third day.
Reports from the sheriffs office
and local police headquarters this
morning were to the effect that no
activities among striking lettuce
field workers were reported through
the night.
Following the appearance of a
small group of strikers at the coun
ty Jail yesterday afternoon asking
the release of fellow strikers who
had been arrested for picketing ac-
tivitieS in BraWley, Holtville and
Heber, a demonstration was held in
the park across frbm the court
house. This was featured by speech
es exhorting workers to continue
the strike and demands of increases
in wages after which the demon
strators disbanded peacefully and
without any disorder. Police stood
on the fringe or the crowd, watch
full and prepared for any emergen-
cy.
Yesterday noon at Brawley, Gus
tavo Renterias, Ramon Valdez, Ven-
tura Magallones, Alfredo Loya, Jose
Rubelcava, Ivan Gomas, Joe Fer

WASHINGTON, Jan. 10.-A bill
lion dollar debt liquidation program
is under consideration as a possible
further development of the Roose-
velt recovery program, it wa S
learned today.
The idea of such an effort would
be to put the security market on
the sound footing which is essen
tial there before a condition of
genuine prosperity can be achieved.
While concentrating on the en-
ergency features of the recovery
drive, with the outpouring of bill
lions of dollars considered an emer-
gency necessity, government Off
cials are not overlooking the time
in the future when this tremend-
Gus outlay will be discontinued.

of Nations. conceived by Woodrow
Wilson and organized in the venge-
full atmosphere of the World wars
end, observed its 14th birthday to-
day.
It was an observance rather than
a celebration. Germany and ia
pan gave notice of withdrawal dur
ing the year. Its disarmament Ell
forts were at deadlock. On the
desk of the general secretary was
a report from league commission
that it's efforts to halt the world s
only official war-between Bolivia

Many believed that the league

NAVY PLANES
TAKE OFF ON
OCEAN FLIGHT
Squadron Leaves San Francisco
This Afternoon Bound For
Long Trip To Honolulu.
DEPARTURE MEETS DELAY
Flyers Encounter Difficulty In
Getting Ships Started From
Smooth Surface OF Bay.
BY HERMAN MONTROSE


United Press Staff Correspondent
SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 10.-After
fighting many unlocked for diff
culties, the VP-10 navy seaplane
squadron assigned to a mass non-
stop flight from San Francisco bay
to Honolulu, gained the air today
and started in formation toward
the islands.
The last of the sextet got aloft
at 2:18 p. M. more than two hours
after the V-P4, first successful in
the takeoff, was cruising overhead
and ready to head for Pearl Har-
Dor, T. H.
The V-P4 was commanded by 1t.
Thomas Duvall Quinn, Atlanta, Ga,
who had the honor of inaugurating
the daring 2,100-mile hop. His Of
ficial start was at 1205 p m, when
he TAXED 212 miles and took to the
air
The other planes were to have
followed at five minute intervals,
but an adverse 6-knot per hour ebb
tide and sudden cessation Of wind
in Paradise Cove, which is bound
on one side by towering cliffs,
thwarted the clock-like navy plans.
Instead of clocking aloft, the re-
naming planes INDUCED in series
of floundering efforts to follow the
V-P4.
1t. Com. Knefler McGinnis, who
was in charge of the flight, follow
ed Quinn at 12:45 p. m.
AS if joyful to be loosed after
disappointment, the six seaplanes
struck formation Immediately above
the cove. With 1t. Com. McGinnis
at the controls of the head plane,
they struck cut over historic Golden
Gate and headed for the Hawaiian
! Islands.
Although only 500 spectators were
| at Paradise Cove, thousands turned
out to cheer as the planes skirted
the edge of San Francisco and
flew directly to the gateway
Although lacking confirmation
Immediately after the last takeoff,
it was believed by observers that
navy ingenuity solved the problem.
Futile efforts of the last four planes
suddenly ceased, and they took off
in slightly different direction than
on previous attempts. Within a
relatively short time, all had cleared
the water. There was an uncon-
firmed report that a small amount
of gasoline was dumped from
each plane.
Ships Guard Route
The seven officers and % men
rested last night aboard the moth
er ship Gannet in the cove. They
were not awakened until 8 a. m.
After breakfasting, they Immediate
ly started the final tuning of their
craft.
Among the supplies placed
aboard each plane was collap-
sible rubber boat, flares and five
day ration for each man. Each
plane carried 1746 gallons of gaso-
line. sufficient for 5000 miles.
Weight of each plane was 10000
pounds.
Six ships were strung out in a
protective chain across the Pacific.
At 300-mile intervals from the
mainland to the islands, they were:
the Sandpiper. Schenck, Breese.
Whipporwill, Wright (flagship) and
Pelican. Midway on the course, the
Tanager was stationed to radio the
weather reports to the squadron.
The navy flight was the longest
over water jump ever undertaken
in mass formation. Even Italo
Balbo's 24-plane Italian squadron
| which flew from Italy to Chicago
last summer did not negotiate such
long span of water.

SET HEARINGS
ON PROBATE
LETTUCE PLAN

SACRAMENTO, Jan. 10. WP) -
Controlled production of Imperial
Valley lettuce loomed as a posi-
bility today after the California
pro-rate commission agreed to hold
hearings in Ell Centre January %
and % to consider Inauguration OF
a pro-rate program.
Such a program has been asked
in a petition received by the COM
mission and repeatedly signed by
growers of 88 per cent of the let
tuce produced in Imperial Valley.
President A. j. McFadder of the
commission said he believed that
the almost unanimous request OF
the lettuce growers pointed toward
the organization of the first pro-
rate program under the law passed
by the 1888 legislature.
Lettuce growers will find in the
columns of this issue, an
announcement by B. A. Harrigan,
county agricultural commissioner,
calling their attention to the pro-
rate hearings to be held as outlined
in the above United Press dispatch.
The commissioner urges all let
tuce growers and shippers to keep
the date in mind and to be at the
hearings if possible.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 10.-U.P)--
President Roosevelt in special
message to the senate called today
for ratification of the st. Lawrence
waterway treaty with Canada.
He submitted the message upon
receipt of summarized report by
the departmental board on
the st. Lawrence project. The board
recommended immediate develop
ment of the power and navigation
plan at an annual cost to this coun-
try of 100000 for SO years. That
figure includes interest at 4 per
cent, amortization, operation and
maintenance.
The report was transmitted to the
senate with the ratification mes
sage. Mr.. Roosevelt has considered
and dismissed the objections of var
ious sections of the country that the
waterway is undesirable. His atti-
tude puts the administration
sauarely on record in favor of the
seaway as the logical commercial
route from the north and middle
west to European markets, notwith-
standing objections of New Orleans
and Texas ports. p
The President reported to the
senate that broad national reasons
led him without hesitation to ad-
vocate the treaty. He said the two
main considerations were navigation
and power.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 10. U.P) -

congress in a special message to au-
thorize a government guarantee OF

An interest guarantee was provid-
ed in the legislation which merged
