Chairman Cartwright Of the house
roads committee explained that pro-
visions Of the bill require that the
roads funds be spent in the usual
manner Of federal aid road funds but
sets up different basis for allocating
the grade crossing elimination allot-
ments. The chairman said these
funds are to be expended by the state
highway departments.
Grade crossing funds viii be appor-
toned on q basis of one-half on popu-
lation, one-fourth on mileage of federal
aid highway systems and one-fourth
on railroad mileage systems. No por.
ton of the funds needs to be matched
by the states.
The Hayden Cartwright amend
ment to the work relief bill which
established the basis for allocating
road funds also gives preference In
the employment of labor to persons
receiving relief, except those in ex-
ecutive, administrative or highly
skilled positions and authorizes the
president to determine wages and
hours Of work so that rates Of pay
for all highway work from federal
funds within a state will be the same.

In the federal bureau. last August
and September and that number OF
the roads had been put In good
shape since that time. Each engineer
gave . definite report on conditions
In his district and what had been
done to remedy conditions mentioned
In the complaint.
Olson Explains Action
Olson, himself, was the chief wit.
ness with regard to the charge that
highway employees had done work
with which they had no business to
concern themselves In making the
feed check. He said he was asked
to do 90 by Supreme Court Judge A.
N. Christianson Of the state. rural
rehabilitation corporation. who Is.
sured him that no one could possibly
complain, and that the cost Of $50
was paid by that government set.up.
District engineers testified that COM
pilation Of the feed data did not In.
terfere with their regular work.
Answering . question by Wexford.
Olson said he felt MacD onalds letter
was written because Of the general
tendency to take money away from
highway departments for other pur-
poses and that. since the government
Is furnishing Ill Of the money to
build the roads, 1t feels the state
should make proper provision for
maintenance.

In Hands of Governor

is silent on the sufficiency Of the EVIL
dence, determination on that point
resting In the governors discretion.
There were indications, however,
that the case may be taken to court
II Olson Is removed from office. Two
stenographers were present to take
down the proceedings, one hired by
Wexford and one by Olson. Yet there
will be no official record Of the pro-
ceedings. verret made that clear ct
several points In the proceedings.
The prosecutions case was brief.
Based ON Three Charges
It was based on three points. One
was that Olson overpaid four engi-
neers In the highway department
contrary to statute.
In support Of this contention. Dep
uty Auditor John Lyngstad identified
salary warrants for January and Feb
:uary issued TO- NJ. p. Wynkoop, w. r.
Mc0raw, Frank E. Cave and Ray
Robinson. The law limits salaries to
assistant engineers to 42.400 . year.
Each Of them received warrants for
monthly pay at . rate higher than
that.
The second point was based on q
letter by Thomas H. Macdonald
Washington, D. c., chief Of the fed
eral bureau Of public roads, in which
he said IS road projects In North Da-
kota were not properly maintained
The letter was the only evidence ad-
vanced on this point by the prosecu-
ton.
The third item In the prosecution
was q copy OF q letter, written by o.
son as highway engineer to district
engineers, asking for report on the
feed conditions In their area. This
was the basis for the charge that
highway funds had been spent on
business not connected with the high
ways. No additional evidence was
offered on this point.
The only witnesses called BY the
prosecution were Lyngstad and
Frayne Baker, adjutant general, and
, the governors office manager.
Lyngstad identified the warrants
paid to the engineers. Baker identi'
fled the Macdonald letter as one which
had been received at the governors
office. That was all.
The defense attempt to get Welfort
to testify was based on an effort K
get into the record, even though 4
has no official existence, q second let
ter from Macdonald, in which he tols
the governor that Olson had cooper
ated with the federal bureau and tina
the first letter was not aimed at thu
incumbent. It doubted the advisable
ity Of his removal. Whether or no
it got into the record was doubtful
although the governor admitted
knowledge Of its contents. The at
torneys did all Of the talking, includ
ing q lot Of wrangling dominated by
strong personal note. but no definit'
decision was made by the chief excu
tive.

Answers 70 Charges

Answers % Cn9tHe8
The defense answer to each Of the
charges was:
l. That Olson had raised no SAL
aries during his term in office and
had investigated to see II salaries
paid were according to law. H. G.
Frahm, chief engineer In the highway
department, later said he had as
sured Olson that all engineers sal
aries were according to law.
It also was contended that none Of
the men listed were assistant engi-
neers within the meaning Of the
statute. McGraw is chief craftsman.
Cave is assistant bridge engineer.
Robinson is assistant maintenance
engineer and Wynkoop is assistant
construction engineer. As such. 1t was
explained, they are superior to the
district engineers and are not assist
ants within the meaning Of the
statute.
Frahm was very firm and definite
in his assurances to verret' that the
listings ana the salaries paid were
correct. It also was brought
out that the rates Of pay had persist
ed since the time Frank z. V0gel,
ousted last summer Is highway COM
missioner, had been In the office.

Under Scrutiny
OF Post Office

WASHINGTON, Jan. 20 W0 -
The Townsend movement, which is
agitating congress with demands
for payment of 5000 monthly to
all those over go years old, has
come under scrutiny of the postal
inspectors, it was revealed today.
DR.. F. E. Townsend, California
physician who developed the con-
troversial law, confirmed that an
investigation was underway.
1--WE are turning over all books
and records of the movement to
the inspectors" he said. 1--WE have
told them to go the limit
Townsend was confident that
investigation would give the drive
a clean bill of health. He said all
contributions had been made volun-
tarilv and those for a single year
would total about $4,000.
The money, he said, has come in
in varying amounts from Townsend
enthusiasts. Chief Inspector Kid
roy P. Aldrich of the postal depart
ment said the investigation was
being made but that nothing would
be revealed until 1t is completed.

CITES DANGER
Of ALIENS IN
CANAL ZONE

WASHINGTON. Jan. 90. UH -
Presence of larger numbers of alien
Negroes and japanese in the Pana-
ma Canal zone makes the canal the
weakest spot in Americas defenseS,
w. G. Husing, legislative represen-
tative of the American Federation
of Labor, asserted today.
In house hearings on elimination
of war profits, Husing testified
5000 alien Negroes are employed on
the canal and every new ship that
goes through the canal leaves new
japanese barber shop in Panama
City"
ut seems to us that the judicious
expenditure of a little money could
cause a lot of trouble on the canal"
he said. 1--WE believe Americans
should be employed exclusively on
the waterway"
Other observers recently have
called attention to what they con-
slider the yulnerability of the canal
and its defenseS, particularly in
view of the large number of aliens
there and reported espionage &C
tivity Guards along the canal have
been strengthened.
THE Panama canal is the Achil-
les heel of our national defenses
under the present administration, "
Husing said. ut is impregnable
from the standpoint of fortifica-
tions, but it is not impregnable from
the standpoint of personnel"
He said the 5000 alien Negroes
are principally British subjects and
have a deep resentment against the
United States because of wage diff
ferentials. They are known as sill
YER employees whereas white work
ers are known as gold employees.
They are paid 40 cents an hour for
their work"

Are Active In
Army And Navy

SACRAMENTO, Jan. 30 WP) -
Battling step by step for the con-
viction of IT Communists on
charges of criminal syndicalism,
the prosecution continued its case
today after having recorded the
first direct testimony linking the
Communist party with subversive
activities in the United States
army and navy.
Robert N. Hicks, Sacramento,
lieutenant in the reserve corps,
testified regarding statements made
in the Communist school here that
the party had agents in the army
and navy and that those two or
ganizationS were ready to turn to
the Communist standard at call"
Jack Crane. one of the defen-
dants, was identified by Hicks as
teacher in the school. The wit
ness quoted Crane as saying in
class:
1.-The Communist party is defi-
nitely going to set up Soviet form
of government in the United
States. This government is to be
established by revolution and by
armed force if necessary"

HALE STATES
HIS POSITION

Ed. Hale, of Brawley, candidate
for the position of treasurer of the
Imperial Irrigation District at the
election week from tomorrow,
was in FL Centro today in the in
terestS of mis- campaign.
II am satisfied with the Senti-
ment 1 meet in going around the
valley" Hale said, "and am in the
race with no promises or pledges
to anyone except the voters of the
district. If elected I will keep
politics out of the treasurer's Of
flee and will serve the people of
the district impartially, econo-
mically and efficiently.
"I am in accord with the boards
plans to develop and distribute
power generated from the ALL
American canal. I think that
power should be the sole property
of the people of Imperial Valley.
Statements I have made on
power transmission lines have been
misconstrued by some who are op-
posing my campaign and I welcome
a chance to set myself clear be-
fore the people of Imperial Valley.
/ believe, if the power lines of the
Southern Sierras Power company
can be acquired at a reasonable
price, which will make their ac-
QUESTION cheaper than building
parallel lines. this should be done.
There is nothing of sentiment or
influence in this-it is a straight
business proposition. If we can't,
then let us build the parallel lines.
Certainly I see nothing wrong in
having an honest opinion and ex-
pressing it, particularly if I believe
it will benefit those who foot the
bills-the taxpayers of the irriga-
ton district"
