Proposals that counties of Cali
fornia take over relief cases now
handled by the State Emergency
Relief Administration, using fed
eral funds and absorbing approx
imately one-half of the present ad-
ministrative force of SERA, will
be discussed when California super
visors, relief officials and state
chamber of commerce leaders meet
tomorrow and Friday at Los An
geles.
Headed by Chairman A. Y.
Preble, members of the Imperial

tend the conference to oppose regu-
lations which would force them to
take over present SERA social
service workers under the terms of
their present employment.

DEMURRERS IN
SCOUT DAMAGE
ACTION UPHELD

Demurrers by the Imperial Yuma
council of Boy Scouts, and by the
national council, had been sustained
today by the Fourth District Court
of Appeals in session at San Diego
for consideration of Harold Young's
100000 damage suit involving in
jurieS suffered in 1888.
Demurrers of Scoutmaster Henry
Webster and two MeXicans, also de-
PENDANTS, were overruled, however,
and remanded to superior court for
trial.
Harold Young was injured while on
a bicycling trip west of CaleXico with
other members of his scout troop to
take merit badge tests.
The demurrers of the Boy Scout
organizations were sustained with
out leave to amend, which virtually

Minor Charges For
Two Defendants
Sought

Plans for additional de-

day as attorneys continued
to question veniremen from
whom a jury will be chosen
to try Woodrow Corley, Nobel Nor
ris and Marvin Morris on charges
of numbering Ivan Null, special
deputy sheriff near Holtville Oct.
%.
A possibility that defense coun-
sci will seek minor verdicts against
at least two of the defendants, if
they are convicted. was seen when
Attorney Charles Provence quizzed
jurors regarding possible findings
that one or two of the accused
youths might be accessories after
the fact, if a third is found guilty
of murder.
D. H. Wolford, chief criminal
deputy district attorney. who is aid
ed by Deputy r. I. French in pros
ecution, indicated that the state
will contest bitterly any minor or
included offense verdict.
Would the jurors, he asked, re-
turn verdict of guilty against all
three if they were shown to be
equally implicated. even though
only one fired the shot which
claimed Null's life?
Woodrow Corley, the state will
contend, was the one who pulled
the rifle trigger, sending the fatal
slug into the body of the special
deputy sheriff who was attempt
ing to question the trio about a
robbery earlier in the night at the
Bonds Corner store, of which they
are suspected.
Selection of jury dragged this
morning, giving rise to the predic-
ton taking of testimony will not
start in the case until Friday, at

RELIEF FUNDS
EARMARKING IS
FROWNED DOWN

SACRAMENTO, Nov. 6. U.P&
Any earmarking of state relief
funds for particular projects such
as cooperative production for use"
programs would be "ill-advised," 4"
State Controller Ray l.. Riley said
today after a conference with
Frank Y. Mclaughlin, state emer-
gency relief administrator Nc
Laughlin refused to be quoted.
1t was pointed out that the state
relief commission will meet in San
Francisco next week and that fur
ther consideration of state aid for
self-help cooperativeS may be con-
sidered at that time. The commits
sion recently approved a modified
production-for-u plan under
which $5,00000O would be spent on
self-help groups.
Need of keeping relief funds free
from any needed purpose was
stressed by Riley along with a pre-
diction that the state will need ap-
proximately $2,000,0O0 a month to
care for the 10000 to 10000 unem-
ployed which may be expected dur
ing the winter.
