RANKIN ASKS
REMOVAL Of
RFC DIRECTOR

WASHINGTON, Feb. 13. UP)-
Resignation or removal of Harvey
Couch as a director of the Recon-
struction Finance Corporation was
demanded by Representative Ran
kin Dem.) Mississippi, today on
the basis of publication of the Co.'S
tigan report showing Couch S in
come as head of three utility COM
panies
"UnleSs Couch resigns from the
RFC at once, President Roosevelt
ought to remove him, Rankin
said in a statement prompted by a
federal trade commission report re-
vealing salaries of utility officials.
"The Couch interests have been
! to the south what the insult inter-
ests were to the north,'' he said.
"They are today plundering the
people of Mississippi with power
rates, throwing every obstruction in
the way to prevent towns, cities
and municipalities from owning
and operating their own power
plants, or securing power from the
Tennessee Valley Authority at
Muscle Shoals.
"The attorneys and representa-
tives are attempting to lobby
through the legislature of MissiS-
sippi a law that would paralyze the
cities and towns in that state, and
place them at the mercy of private
power interest in the future.
"And for his services to the
people of Mississippi as the head
of the Mississippi Power and Light
company, he receives a salary of
$17,100 a year, wrung from the dis
tresSed meager users of electric
lights and power in that state.

$33, 1893 for his services to the peo-
pie of Arkansas in the same capac-
; ity, and $4,000 for similar services

people in those states, and I speak
adviSedly as to Mississippi, who are
endeavoring to secure loans through
the RFC with which to construct
their local distribution systems, or
power lines over which to secure
cheap power from IVA, which

QUIET RULES
STRIKE AREA

Although not expecting any out
break of trouble in the strike
threatened area near Calipatria,

deputies to that city this morning
in order that they might be on hand
to preserve order and prevent any
trouble.
1t was learned this morning that
outside of one minor incident, COM
parative peace reigned throughout
the pea fields yesterday, although

eS where workers were engaged. The
one incident related happened on
the ranch of w. E. Young, Calipat-
ria division director Of the irliga
tior district.
Y0ting said this morning that a
group OF agitators approached his
ranch where several workers were
busy picking peas. One of these
latter had rifle and one of the
agitators, taunting him, held out
his hand and said he did not have
nerve enough to shoot. This was too
much of dare, according to the
story and the worker, taking care
full aim, shot the tip of the agita-
tors finger off, after which the
group withdrew and that particula"
field was not moleSted again.
Another feature of the strike will
be brought to light tomorrow when
jeanette Gilman, accused agitator
during the recent disturbances in
the lettuce fields, will come to trial
here before Judge Nuffer in police
court.
She is charged with vagrancy and
at the time of her plea asked for a
jury trial. Grover c. Jackson, San
Bernardino attorney, will represent
the defendant in tomorroWs trial.

VIENNA, Feb. 13-Beleaguered
Austria. at the turning point in her
postwar destiny, writhed under a
devastating civil war today as the
government sought desperately to
crush a Socialist revolt in which
hundreds were estimated to have
fallen.
The total Of slain was placed un-
officially at between 400 and 500,
with hundreds more wounded.
The Socialists, outnumbered and
cut-equipped, nevertheless fought
desperately in Vienna and a dozen
other points in the northern part of
Austria
Machine guns and artillery moved
them down in Vienna, Linz, Steyr.
Bruck, Kapfenberg and other
points. The uniformed Socialist
schutzbund corps fought back with
machine guns, rifles, pistols and
bombs.
The government appeared to be
gaining the upper hand in Vienna,
with various Socialist strongholdS
falling under withering fire. At
Linz, however, the Socialists were
storming the police and troops hold
ing the Danube bridge and the gar
riSon at Steyr, automobile center,
was surrounded and besieged by the
Socialists.
The rebellion was difficult to put
down because Of the widespread ac-
tivitieS of the Socialists and their
desperate resistance. AS night ap-
preached in Vienna, the combined
government forces of troops, police,
schutzcorps and civilian volunteers
were almost exhausted and faced an
increasingly critical situation.
The Socialist schutzbund forces
were encouraged by the stubborn re-
sistance of their comrades and as
sumed the offensive in numerous
areas of the city, especially the
neighborhoods of the teeming mu-
nicipally apartment houses.
