WASHINGTON, May 4.-Heedine
President Roose evelt's warning
against the cry of wolf" the Uni
ted States Chamber of Commerce
today adopted a lengthy list OF
moderately worded resolutions con-
cerning the relationship of business
to government.
In none of the % resolutions
which were produced by the resolu-
tions committee after President
Roosevelt had sent sharply word
ed note to the chamber, was there
any 05EpCy,en condemnations OF
the new deal or any of its major
componentS.
Mr.. Roosevelt IS note was couched
in courteous and cordial language
but left no doubt that he expected
the chamber to be cautious IN
whatever resolutions it might pass
"Your membership, wrote Mr.
Roosevelt, "largely represents those
interests which from motives OF
self f-interest as we'll as good citi-
zenship have a leading role to play
The people as a whole will be i'm
patient of those who complain ano
of those who hold out false fears
1t is time to stop crying wolf and
to cooperate in working for recov-
cry and for the continued elimina-
ton of evil conditions Of the past. -
Mr.. Roosevelt said he counted
confidently "on the loyalty and
continued support of the cham
ber, that American business men
"in the main' have cooperated Sc
far and that he hoped 'increas-
ingly intelligent cooperation be-.
tween the federal government and
the commercial interests of the
country will stimulate the progress
of our recovery
"Congress has been and Is dong
its part and, within the next 1eW
weeks there is every probability thai
the legislative program for TINS
session will be definitely complet-
ed,n the President added.
Business Must Act

American values and bring about a
more wholesome condition.

PRESIDENT TO

TO COUNTRY

WASHINGTON, May 4. W.H -
President Roosevelt is expected to
give an accounting of his steward
ship to the nation in an address
within the next three weeks, it was
reported authoritatively today.
The Chief Executive, according
to Uniformed friends. is consid-
ering a resume of the adminiStra-
tons recovery efforts. And peep
into what the future may hold
along the lines of economic rehabili-
tation.
Several members of the so-called
brain trust have been urging strong
ly that Mr.. Roosevelt again carry
his case to the country, remember
ing the Overwhelming response to
nationwide talks a year ago. In
those discussions he outlined sue
cinctly the programs under consid-
Grafton and won almost instanta-
neously tremendous support for
them.
Should the President go on the
air, and there is every reason to
believe that he will, it was expected
that he would wait until congress
has gone home in order that he
could give a thorough summary of

MILK MUST
CONFORM TO
STATE CODE

In an interview with DR.. War
rem F. Fox, county health officer,
the point was brought out that all
milk sold for human consumption
must be produced and distributed
under the provisions of the agricul-
tural code of California, and local
ordinances.
The doctor cited the case of a
dairyman in the Holtville district
who plead guilty in the justice
court to the distribution of un-
graded milk for human consumption
from unteSted cows. In this in
stance, the court suspended the
fine on condition, in the future,
that the defendant abides by the
law
DR.. Fox further stated, 1.-The law
provides for certain grades of milk,
II m 2 ly: certified, guaranteed,
grade A raw and grade A pasteur-
lied All dairymen selling to the
retail trade must comply with the
provisions of the law relating to the
grade Of milk they SELL" The in
spection and laboratory work ne
cessary is now all done by the
county health department, with
headquarters at the court house,
El Centro.
According to Doctor Fox, future
violators will be dealt with more
severely as it is most important
that every safeguard shall be
thrown around the production
and distribution of this most i'm
portant article of food, cows milk.

AND
CITIES CARRY
HEAVY DEBTS

SACRAMENTO, May a. W.H -
Ronded indebtedness of the cltles,
counties and state of California TO-
tailed 1915, 5,55O,4O4 at the close OF
the 1888 fiscal year, Controller Ray
l.. Riley revealed today.
Although this amount was S8,222' :
837 lower than the Indebtedness OF
1882, it was $94, 49, ,099 higher than
the debt of 1929. Property valua-
ton, on the other hand, has de-
creased approximately 25 per cent,
Riley said.
Cities led the list with total
debt of $450, 1884, ,791. Counties had
an indebtedness of $284 1885, lib, and
the state $l4O,380,500. San Fran
cisco county reported the heaviest,
sl65 .O76. 500. Los Angeles county
was next with $142, ,502,350, and Ala
media third with $21, ,709, $50.
Real estate, improvements and
personal property outside the city
and county of San Francisco were
valued at sc, ,229 ,271 1857 in 1929 and
S4632,221, ,029 in 1888, shrinkage
of $1,597, ,050,329 or 25 per cent.
"In 1929 there was $40 on the
assessment rolls against each dollar
of bond issue, and in 1888 the as
sessment was So, due largely to the
shrinkage of 25 per cent in the
value of security behind our gov
ernmental financing" Riley said.
Solvent credits have declined in
taxable value 33 per cent during the
same period.
New bonds were floated by mu-
inequalities in the total sum OF
Sl3,462, 500 during the year"

ARAB TRIBES
STAGING WAR

ADEN, ArabN, MAY 4. U.P)-On
numbering camels, arch necked Ara
bian horses, desert ponies and III
deaths splitting armored cars, tribes
men of Arabia Saudi and Yemen
fought today in the blistering heat
of the Red Sea coast.
Troops of Sultan Ibn Saud of
Arabia Saudi, fanatic Moslem fun
damentalists, advanced relentless
ly against the i'll equipped Yemen
ties and their Sultan Jehya, the
Imam of Yeman, was suing unsuc-
cessfully for peace.
An occasional British bombing
airplane from Alden roared overhead
observing the fighting, and three
British ships-a cruiser, Sloop and
an ancient little freighter, were
busy evacuating Europeans from
Hodeidah, Yemans principal port on
the Red Sea, to the nearby island of
Kamaran.
Reports that Jehya had been as
sassinated seemed untrue in view
of a cable sent to foreign neWspa-
pers, signed with his name, admit
ting his defeat but declaring his in
tention to fight for justice and real
peace.
Agents of many governments were
watching the fighting.
Armed native police were sent
from here to assist British soldiers
in policing Hodeidah and protecting
foreigners.
There were various reports of civil
war in Yemen, due to crushing de-
feats inflicted by the troops of Ibn
Saud, and their horsemen and camel
troops backed up by armored cars
interspersed in the ranks like tanks
among infantry units.
Imam Jehya was reported to have
asked King Fuad 1 of Egypt to in
tervene and obtain an armistice.
Ibn Saud, however, showed natur-
al inclination to continue the fight
ing, which was precipitated weeks
ago when Imam sent his forces into
disputed territory up the coast be-
tween Yemenite Asia, and Arabia
Saudi. The Yemen ignored Ibn
Sauds demands for evacuation, and
Ibn Saud's men went into the field.

of the relatively higher price for the

Also a new bull movement has re-

The administration is anxious tt

The shift in the administration
program is shown in a number o
developments. One is the assurance

Also the administration has pro

WOOD|N DIES
IN NEW YORK
Former Secretary OF Treasury
Succumbs To Long Illness In
Eastern Hospital.

NEW YORK, May a, W.P)-Wil-
liam H. Woodin, IS, the shy music
loving corporation executive who
served briefly as secretary of the
treasury in the Roosevelt cabinet,
died last night from the ailment
which forced his retirement from
public life.
Woodin in his last hours thought
only of President Roosevelt whom
he served faithfully in the treasury
post during the critical days i'm
mediately following Mr.. Roosevelt S
inaugural last year.
Death and doctors bent over the
cot in Manhattan eye, ear, and
throat hospital last night while the
semi-conScious man was mumbling
in delirium. Occasional phrases were
intelligible. These were:
"Yes, Governor :, Well, Cover
nor, :"
Mr.. Woodin always called MI.
Roosevelt, Governor" When life
left him he was talking with his be-
loved friend, who, though not phy-
sically present, was an image in his
mind.
When Mr.. Roosevelt became Pre-
sident, and Mr.. Woodin became his
secretary of the treasury in March.
1888, the country was in the mids5
of an ominous banking crisis. Mr..
Woodin worked day and night for
weeks, though he already was malk-
ed by the persistent infection of the
throat which was to cause -is death.
With Mr.. Woodin when he died
were his wife and his daughter, Mrs.
Mary Minor. He is also survived by
his son, William H. Woodin, Jr., now
in Tucson, Ariz., for his health, and

June Robles, six-year-old school,
girl kidnapped week ago Wednes-
day, will be returned safe and un-
I harmed within few hours, her
family indicated today.
Jubilant in spirit, Bernabe Ro-

girl, broke his silence of eight days
to tell the United Press:
"Wait until late today or to-
night. I feel something is going
to happen"

los Robles, deputy Pima county at
torney and uncle of June, told
friend.
He indicated that he had been
assured the child was alive and
being well cared for.
All members of the family seem
confident that their cause for wor-
ry had ceased. Ransom of $780,
either was ready to be paid or al
ready had changed hands as re-
suits of negotiations believed to
have been carried on in Mexico.
Mrs. Bernabe Robles today told
newspapermen that the kidnapers
had been unfair in timing their de-
mand for ransom to free her
granddaughter.
"They didn't give us a chance
by demanding money so late at
night when we had no chance to

even threatened the life of the little
girl as we'll as the life of her faith

The full context of the ransom
notes delivered to the family has
not been made pubic. Mrs. Robles
apparently referred to a demand
that money be paid the night of
June's kidnapping. The girl was
seized on her way home from
school, after banking hours.
TUCSON, Ariz., May 4. U.P)-Re-
turn of June Robles, 6, cattle for
tune heiress, was expected today,
the United Press learned from a
source close to the child's family.

girl nine days ago, were reported

Farley Awards Contracts To
Virtually The Same Lines That
Formerly Held Them.

WASHINGTON, May 4. U.P) -
Contract awards by Postmaster
General James A. Farley today vest
ed control of the nations airmail in
virtually the same companies which
lost the business by last February's
cancellations.
Farley awarded Is contracts to
low bidders. He held up three awards
for investigation, rejected three
more, and advertised for bids on 10
new routes.
Within 80 Gays, the army, which
lost a dozen flyers in its three
months airmail experience, will
turn over the routes to the private
companies.
Farley said the new system would
cover considerably more mileage
than the old routes and save the
government approximately $9,000,-
900 year.
Ten of the Is contracts went to
air line interests that held every
major route previous to cancella-
ton. These interests, however, now
are reorganized under new names
and purged of officials who parti-
cipated in the famous "Spoils con-
ference" of 1929.
United Air Lines, Inc, was award
ed three contracts-Newark to Oak
land, Calf; Seattle to San Diego;
and Salt Lake City to Seattle.
American Air Lines, Inc, wa;
