Power OF Soviet Union In
Impressive Manner

MOSCOW, May 1. U.P)-Soviet
Russia flung a sample of its mill
tary and aerial might across Red
Square today in the most impress
i've May Day demonstration in re-
cent years.
A fleet of 660 airplanes droned
over the parade at noon. They
ranged from giant Maxim Cor
ky-the world s largest land plane
and four motored bomberS down
to a squadron of new, superspeed
attack planes.
Some of the latter resembled
Douglas planes, being twin-motor-
ed monoplanes with retractable
landing gear.
More than 500 tanks clanked
over the cobblestone pavement
from little Whippet types powered
by Soviet Ford motors, to 10 huge
tanks carrying one-pound guns ano
several machine guns.
The guns shown were mostly the
{ Soviet adoption of the French rs
with some bitter 155-millimeter
guns and Howitzers.

ers and groups from the different
Quarters of Moscow filled the
square with colorful, moving
mass, cheering Justify when they
passed the reviewing stand where
Josef v. Stain and other leaders
stood at Lenin's tomb.
Each parader carried some sort
of flag, slogan or symbol, although
most of them referred to internal
problems and did not attack for
eign countries as much as usual.
One effigy of a huge snake car
ried by a group of paraders wore

TWO INVOLVED
IN CONFESSION

TUCSON, Ariz., May 1. W.P)-Re-
ports that department of justice
agents have obtained confession
from one of the abductors of little
June Robles, and that he involved
others, persisted here today as a
federal grand jury continued hear
ings in minor cases.
While federal men refused to
comment, it was understood the
purported confession was obtaine,
several months ago, just before the
death of the supposed kidnaper in
an Arizona hospital.
The story, as circulated here, was
that the &c" men learned Of the
mans supposed connection with the
kidnapping and interviewed him.
Just before he died, the report
said, he gave the agents COM
plete confession of his own part in
the abduction, and involved two
other men.
1t was expected the Robles case
evidence would be submitted to the
grand jury tomorrow.
Government men who would not
be quoted said they definitely would
seek an indictment against Oscar
H. Robson, former nightclub own
er who was arrested last Novem-
Der on a charge of writing one Of
the eXtortion notes.

REFERE NDUM
SUGGESTED On
POWER ISSUE

Power development and distribu-
ton was again brought to the at
tention of the irrigation district di-
rectors at their meeting here yes
terday afternoon in the form Of a
resolution presented by a commit
tees from the county farm bureau.
This resolution, which is to be
forwarded to the countyS legisla-
tive representatives now in Sacra-
mento in the hope that 1t might be
enacted into law, provides that ir-
rigation districts containing more
than 100000 acres of land cannot
dispose of power developed through
hydro projects in said districts un-
less a referendum on the question
. has been called by 20 per cent of
the largest vote cast in the gen.
eral irrigation district election
prior to the circulation of the pc
tition.
The district board was entirely
in favor of such a resolution and
voted accordingly. In its first
form the resolution had specified
but 10 per cent Of the vote on the
petition but on recommendation Of
Evan T. Hewes, chairman Of the
board, this was changed to the 20
per cent figure. With this change,
the committee will resubmit the
resolution to the farm bureau di-
recorate after which it will again
be brought before the district board
for approval.

CHILD HEAL TIL
DAY OBSERVED

In a statement issued by DR.. War
rem F. Fox, county health officer,
he pointed out today, May day is
also celebrated as National Child
Health day Participating in their
program throughout the United
States is the American Child
Health association cooperating with
physicians everywhere. Special en-
phasiS is being placed this year up
on immunization against diphtheria
for all children under one year OF
age.
Parents having children under
- months of age should take them
to their family physician and have
them immunized today" said Dr.
Fox. This is not a special cam
paign but is part of a permanent
program of the various medical
societies and public health authori-
ties in their efforts to stamp out
this dreaded disease of childhood" !"
DR.. Fox pointed out again the
remarkable results that have been
achieved in Imperial county in the
reduction of the diphtheria case
rate per 100000 population from
213.6 in 1880, to 23.4 in 1884, or a
reduction of 1902 in the five year
period. Also the reduction of the
diphtheria death rate per 100000
population from 1876 in 1880, to 1.5
in 1884.
eff the 1880 death rate had pre-
vailed each year for the last four
years." the county health officer
stated, eve would have had % more
deaths during this period than we
actually had" Putting it another
way and placing the value of a
human life at $4,000, this means a
saving of $115,O0O during the four
year period. There should, appar-
emily, be little doubt that immuni-
zation against diphtheria does pay
and that the whole preventive pro-
gram is still the order Of the day, y
said DR.. Fox.

WASHINGTON, May l. - Rep
resentative leaders of big business
today turned withering verbal at
tack upon President Roosevelt's re-
covery program.
They told the 23rd annual con-
vention of the United States
Chamber of Commerce that the
new deal" is an emergency setup
and that the emergency is over.
Brushing aside the plea for pa
tience of Secretary of Commerce
Daniel C. Roper and refusing to
take their cues from the midle-of-
the-road keynote address of Presi-
dent Henry I. Hartman, they de-
nounced nearly all the major al
phabetical agencies.
They called the NRA in part a
failure and the AAA a drag upon
agriculture. They criticized the iva.
They mentioned "chaos" and Gig
nominous retreat"
Secretary of Commerce Daniel c.
Roper, facing an openly hostile au-
dience, denied last night that the
new deal" would destroy private
enterprise and pleaded for coopera-
ton with the administration.
''We must be patient in a period
of general readjustment if we
would have the changes come after
the fashion of an orderly evolution
and not after the fashion of a
destructive revolution" Roper said.
The new DEAL" he said, ''is not
intended to destroy business" but
to find ways and means of pro-
tecting all concerned against acts
and agencies which, if left un-
guided, will destroy utterly our De-
mocratic civilization"
Disagreement Is General
The Agricultural Adjustment Ad-
ministration was the target of the
most vigorous attack. Cotton deal
ers, wheat brokers and meat pack
ers agreed in speeches that it was
doing more harm than good.

based on a contention that the eX-
isting water rights agreement, COW
ering Boulder dam and the entire
Colorado river development. does
not give them a fair share of wat
er.
Other states also want more
water. But inasmuch as Parker
dam is in Arizona, the state is in a
strategically strong position.
PWA Administrator Harold L..
Ickes indicated that PWA would al
low proponents of the project to
fight it out.
"We won't lose a single cent If
there is any loss,' Ickes said "Our
loan is covered by very good bonds
of the Southern California Mum
icipal Water District. They'll be
the ones who will have to stand
whatever losses there may be-"
Ickes allayed fears that the
court s opinion might effect other
PWA projects.
The administration, he said, was
not concerned about this possibil-
ity. However he added, should
congressman desire to enact auth
orizing legislation in order to insure
complete protection, he would have
no objection.

Difficult TIES
Must Draw Program To Balance
State Budget For 1935-37
Biennium
BY GEORGE E. HELMER


SACRAMENTO, May 1.-Reve-
nue. and taxation rates were stud
led by the joint legislative COM
mittee of IA today as serious ef-
forts we're made to draw up a pro-
gram which would balance the
l935-37 state budget.
Members of the committee agreed
that no new taxes should be levied
but they admitted that new taxes
must be assessed if the state Is to
raise nearly S100,000,000 needed to
meet expenses.
They opposed three major mon
ey-raising schemes and were divid-
ed on others. They were in favor
OF several minor revenue producing
measures, and flatly against So
called nuisance taxes on amuse-
ments, tobaccos and certain luxur-
les.
The question of rates and the
possible amount of revenue from
dozens of tax plans remained to be
discussed. Likewise, the committee
faced the question of deciding
whether foodstuffs should be eX-
empted from the retail sales tax.
Governor Frank F.. Merriam in
his budget message recommended
that the sales tax be increased
from 2 per cent Ito which point it
will drop July l, unless the legisla-
ture takes action) to per cent. II
food is exempted, some S20000,00C

PEACE PLEA
Avoids international Politics
And Urges National Unity
And Strength

BERLIN, May Adolf Hitler
in two speeches to his NaziS,
sounded the keynote Of revitalized
Germany today with an exhorta-
ton for national unity and
strength, coupled with a plea for
peace.
His impaSsioned voice, directed
first at a mass meeting of 270,000
Nazi youth at Lusthall and then
to uncounted hundreds of thous-
ands Of Nazis at Templehof air
drome, called for a Germany that
could hold up its head
Perhaps because of the delicacy
of the arms crisis he did not touch
on international political issues.
His only reference to the general
situation was:
1--WE say to other peoples. You
need not fear that we want any
thing from you =. We do not want
war . . We seek peace in the
world However, we never have
renounced our honor"
But he reused his hearers to
frenzy with the oratory that car
ried him from a Munich beer eel
lar to national dictatorship.
"The reich was the toy of for
eign whims-at the mercy even Of
small nations.
Doesn't Want War
1--WE say to other peoples: You
need not fear that we want any
thing from you've have more
than you could offer us.
1--WE do not want war. Just as we
restored peace in the nation, we
seek peace in the world.
However, we never have re-
nounced our honor in the nation
and we do not propose to renounce
our honor among nations"
In one specific reference to do
mestic problems, he said that un-
employment had decreased from
100000 to 100000 persons and
that this year the Nazis would at
tack the remaining problem.
1t was noticeable that the ap-
plause was almost entirely from the
men in the uniformed formations,
rather than from the mass of spec
tators. The crowd seemed as cool
as the weather.
II appeared that the weather
confined the crowd at Templehof
to those actually ordered to march.
They numbered about 100000, per-
haps, as contrasted with the 1,500,-
900 expected.

County Warrants
Registered Today

Due to a temporary lack of mon
ey in the salary fund, county en-
ployees today received registered
warrants from the county treas
urers office.
The salary fund had some money
but not sufficient to cover the en-
tire salary payments. At II o'clock
this morning 40 registered war
rants had been issued. The other
funds have money.
AS soon as the second install
ment of state and county taxes is
turned over to the treasurer by
Dan West, assessor collector, the
warrants will be called in.
Wiest's office is working dill
gently so that the money may be
turned over as soon as possible.
