FIELD WORKERS IN
 BATTLE ON ALIENS

 "I'll preserve law and order, and life and property, as long as I am governor" he said. "I'm a pretty good single-handed scrapper my self. We've always taken care of Arizona and will coptinue to do so."
 This seasons situation is the gravest in years. There have been terrorist activities, bombings, and vandalism, directed at Japanese six months, that have left the pop ulace in no mood to tolerate fur ther disturbances.
 But the lettuce workers are more primed for conflict than ever before. They are moving under the banner of the American Federation of Labor in a circuit of violence that started last fall in the Salanas- Watsonville section of California, passed through Imperial valley and is now entering this area.
 It is a strange country for cou- fict-one of the richest farming re- gions in the world, 13,000 acres of fertile land fed by the largest farm irrigation system in existence.
 The internal strife that has beset the Salt river valley concerns the right of an alien to earn aliving. 7 There, are two bills before tho legislature. One, in the senate. proposes drastic penalties for vio- lation of a law that would refuse to an alien. ineligible for citizen ship, the rightto do anything more than live in Arizona.
 This bill is in committee, ready for reading and has been recom- mended for passage.
 In the house another measure modelled after the California alien law--is before the judiciary com mittee. The public lands commit- mendation.
 It provides that no alien ineligi- tee reported it out withount recom- ble for citizenship can acquire, possess, cultivate, occupy, use or transfer any real property or in- terest therein.
 Should either bill become law fl will mean scores of Japanese fam flies will be forced to leave the valley.
 These measures are an out. growth of a series of bombings, rcigns of terror and vandalism, li- rected at Japanese and Hindu farmers the past six months. Dur- ing that time 10 bombings were reported.
 It has brought about possibili- ties of a delicate international sit uation between the Unised States government and Japan. Arizona was criticized in the Japanese house of peers.
 In spite of these threats. neither Arizona nor Maricopa county au- thorities are worried.
 J. Tamura. secretary of the Jap anese association of Arizona. said the Japanese population would not become involved in labor troubles.

It was said that the rebel war ships, sailing to Crete where Ven- izelas was born, failed in their , mission. s;.. The government expressed con- fidence that Cretans would remain loyal, although compatriots of Venizelos.
 Though the revolt broke sud- denly, there were indications that it was long planned.
 Only on February C., authorities seized two machine guns destined for Venizelos' security" He was ther at Canea, Crete.
 Venizelas was believed to have in his support General Nicholas

Maybe we'll find someone who saw or heard something" At another point in the proceed ings, the judge said, If there's a battle on between these two gangs then it's time we put q stop to it. Appicello's claim is that he was struck by Spallone because he tes- tified for the defense when Frank and John Sa1inardi were on trial in superior court last fall on charges of assaulting Spallone. The | Salinardi brothers were acquitted by a jury of the charges, after Spallone had been the principal | witness for the state, claiming that the two brothers had beaten him up when the three were brought together in @ proposed peace con- | ference. Attorney Joseph Guilfoile di- rected many sharp questions at Ap- l picello, openly hinting that Appi- | cello had asked several witnesses l to appear in court today and tes- tify that they had seen Spallone hit him in the eye.

FAMED ORCHESTRA
 AT PARK TONIGHT
Tal Henry Makes Debut Here Direct From Tour
 of Southern States

one of Americas greatest
 name" orchestras comes to Ham.
 ilton park pavilion tonight. And one of the largest crowds. of the season Is expected to be on hand to hear the famous Tal Henry and his North Carolniians, a company of 17 entertainers of radio and movie fame. The band comes dia rect from the Tarantilla Gardens swanky rendezvous of southern aristocracy in Richmond, Va,
 where they have just completed an eight week stand in their musical tour of the country.
 Although Tal and his boys have spent the greater part of the last two years in the south including a
 35 week engagement at the Pea body hotel in Memphis and the
 world famous Baker hotel in Texas, the band is well known throughout the nation due to their, national hook-ups on the air and Victor
 recordings. The Henry orchestra
 was a pioneer in the ,Vitaphone
 shorts while performing at the
 Hotel New Yorker in New York city.
 The vocalizing in. the ba n d is done by Miss Dixie Leonard,
 charming blues singer who halls from Louisville, Ky, whom Tal discovered while playing the Hotel Kentucky two years ago. Miss Leonard delivers her sweet selec- tions in a manner which Is rem- iniscent of the quaint charm of the old south yet with the finesse and up to the minute perfection of the modern north. Then there Is '"Taz" Walters, diminutive male. vocalist whose singing is the hit of the bands performance.
 The Tal Henry band has b e n
 engaged for the Dartmouth, M. I
 T., and Worcester academy proms
 and for several ballroom and thea
 ter engagements in greater Boston
