j. s. RECOVERY.
GAINS CITED
BY HULL

ANN ARBOR, Mich, June IT
U.N.S0.-Declaring that our do
mestic recovery is we'll under way
but that the international situa.
ton still is deteriorating because
of the suicidal race in arma'
ments," Secretary of State Cordell
Hull today told the LOO youthful
graduates of the University Of
Michigan that the aim OF the
State Department was to insure
peace for the United States short
of having to defend itself against
direct aggression"
Hull, who received an honorary
law degree at the annual COM
mencement exercises short time
after he concluded his address,
said the country's foreign policy
was concerned with two central
detectives" He declared:
"They are to assist in the pre-
ventiOn of war and to issue that,
in any event, the United States
shall not be involved in war
short Of having to defend itself
against direct aggression.
I'VE have passed the lowest
depth of our domestic crisis and
there are unmistakable and re-
freshing signs on every hand
that recovery despite variations
now and then is well underway.
But the situation in the interna-
tional field is still deteriOrating."
The country's No. / diplomat
branding the armament race as
suicidal, said that ANY clash
abroad would at least so dislocate
the slow progress of recovery here
that we could not, in the long run
avoid it's disastrous effects"
He, in effect, decried the trends
toward "self-sufficiency" or ma
tionalism and warned they would
lead to barbarism and savagery
and pointed to the fall of early
civilizations of Egypt, Crete, Baby
Ion and Phoenicia. Secretary HUI
then urged broad material inter
change between nations.

POLICY ON CUBA
IS HANDS OFF,
International News Service

A declaration of neutrality in
Cuba's political future was laid
down by this Government today
as part of President RooSevelt's S
New Deal" for the southern
neighbor.
In the face of persistent rumors
in Havana that this Government
was opposing participation of GER
tain Cuban political elements in
the forthcoming elections, the
State Department issued a formal
statement proclaiming a "hands
off" policy in Cuba's internal af-
fairs. The statement read:
"This Government will not
intervene directly or indirectly
in the political concerns of the
Cuban people.
1T consequently neither
favors nor opposes the participa-
tion in Cuba's national elec-
tions Of any particular party or
group. 1t does hope sincerely,
however, because of the peculi-
arly close friendship existing be-
tween our two peoples, that
when national elections are held
the result thereof may repre-
sent the effective will of the
Cuban people, freely expressed"

NEW DEALERS
STUDY MILK,
RAIL RULINGS
International News Service

International News Service
Two new decisions Of the
Supreme Court were being studied
today for their possible effect
upon the New Deal program.
The high court ruled that the
milk price-fixing law of New
York State cannot be invoked to
control milk shipped in interstate
commerce. 1t also laid down the
broad policy that State laws re-
quiring railroads to pay half the
cost of grade-croSSingS may be un-
constitutional if no reasonable
basis can be shown in particular
cases.
May Rely On AAA
The second opinion, delivered by
Justice BrandeiS. may have bear
ing upon the Administrators pro-
poSal to make railroad grade
crossing elimination a vital part
Of the new public works program,
while congressional experts in
farm legislation said the decision
in the milk case may force greater
reliance upon the AAA for con-
troll of prices paid farmers for
milk.
If States cannot control the
price paid to farmers for milk
shipped from other States, they
said, State laws may be partially
nullified.
The railroad case developed
when the Nashville, Chattanooga
and st. Louis railroad appealed
from a Tennessee Supreme Court
decison upholding a State law re-
quiring railroads to pay half the
cost of grade crossing removals. It
involved removal of a crossing on
q little-used road. 1t was to be
made a link in croSs-State eX-
press highway.
Railroad Upheld
The railroad contended the ex-
press highway would be used by
trucks and buSSeS in competition
with railroads, but the State Su-
preme Court held it could not con-
slider this factor.
The high court. however, ruled
that full consideration of economic
factors is necessary in reaching a
fair decision as to whether the
railroads property was being
taken without due process of law.
With the Administration planning
to build express highways under
the new public works program,
the issue may develop in many
States.

LAUREL, Miss, March S.
G.N.SO.-The State today con-
tinued it's efforts to establish a
corpus delicti in the trial of Miss
Ouida Keeton, 33, charged with
murder in connection with the
alleged death of her mother, Mrs.
Daisy Keeton, missing since jan

The indictment of Miss Keeton
followed the finding of a pair Of
human legs near here. No other
parts of the body have been found.
The methods by which the State
hopes to establish the body of the
crime are a closely guarded secret.
Questioning of witnesses concern
ing the hearing of shots near the
Keeton home and the finding OF
bloodStainS about the house indi-
Gated the State may contend the
woman was shot to death and her
body cremated in the fireplace Of
her room.
Mr.. and Mrs. w. E. Triggs,
who live near the Keeton home,
testified that they heard two or
three shots, apparently from the
Keeton house, shortly after mid.

NATURAL laxative
FOOD WINS NATION
Kellogg's ALL-BRAN Helps
Millions to Regular Habits

Kellogg's ALL-BRAN is one of
the most popular laxative foods in
the country today. Millions have
found it thoroughly satisfactory for
correcting constipation due to in
sufficient "bulk" in meals.
In addition to its popular ap-
proval, ALL-BRAN has been ac-
cepted by science. Research shows
it offers mild "bulk" to aid elimi-
nation. Also vitamin B and iron.
The American Medical Associa-
tion Committee on Foods has
granted Kellogg's ALL-BRAN its
Seal Of Acceptance. This delicious
cereal is also approved by Good
Housekeeping Institute.
Within the body, ALL BRAN forms
a soft mass which gently clears out
the intestinal wastes. More effec-
tive than the "bulk" in fruits and
vegetables, as it does not break
down in the body.
Isn't this food better than patent
medicines? Unlike cathartics, it re-
mains effective with continued use.
Two tablespoonfuls daily are usu-
ally sufficient. Chronic cases, with
each meal. If not relieved this way,
see your doctor.
Get the red-and-green package
at your grocer's. ALL-BRAN is
much more satisfactory
than part-bran products.
Made by Kellogg in Battle
Creek.

HOrtOn-Smith Deer
Dinner Called Off

mo horse, no wife, no mustache"
is the song the West Point cadets
sing.
Two wives, no luck, no deer, no
dinner" is the version being sung as
duet by Massey Horton, of the
Valley Drug company, and Nolan C.
Smith of the power company.
Friends who have been expecting
venison dinner as result of pro-
misses made by the two hunters (?)
are doomed to disappointment. The
local men cahsed deer up one side
Of San Jacinto mountain and down
the other, but never got near enough
to them to shoot, or if they did
shoot drew a blank. Then they tried
their luck at Santa Rosa with an
equal absence of luck. Some of the
deer stood and made funny faces at
them but still the hunters couldn't
hit the target.
"It was our wives" said one of
the pair, prudence deeming it best
not to specify which one. "They
were a jinx on us. Even though they
didn't stay for the entire trip, all
hunters know it is bad luck to take
their wives along on hunt, even
for the start of it"
Mrs. Horton and Mrs. Smith pro-
badly could explain the absence Of
deer meat differently. Maybe they'll
agree with one of the pairs friends
that the hunters are meerly couple
of bum shots.

SIGNED
BY FEDERAL
JUDGE TODAY.
District Permitted To Enter Into
Government Contracts And
Apply For Loan
ELECTION IS AUTHORIZED
Papers In Case Forwarded To
Washington Today Accord
ing To Horizons Message

LOS ANGELES, Sept. 10. W.P)-
Federal Judge Harry A. Hollzer to-
day signed an order granting the
Imperial Irrigation District par
tial vtctor@ in its fight to erect
power plant.
An injunction obtained by pri-.
vate utility company holding up the
project was lifted by Judge Hollzer
to the extent that the district may
negotiate for a $12,000,000 loan for
the proposed plant.
The district must not complete
the loan, however, Judge Hollzer
ruled. He withheld this permission
until court ruling is returned on
the Nev-Cal company's contention
that the district has no right to
erect a power plant.
An order signed by Judge Harry
Hollzer in U. S. District court to-
day, radically modifies the tempor-g
ary restraining order secured by
the Nev-Cal company against the
local irrigation district, Harry w.
Horton, chief counsel for the dis
trict reported to the district board
by telephone early this afternoon
The modification of the restrain
ing order as signed by the federal
judge permits the district to enter
into contracts with the United
States government and apply for
money from the government for
the purpose of developing and dis
tributing power from the All-Amer-
ican canal and to hold an election
for the issuance of revenue bonds
to finance the repayment of the
money borrowed, necessary to car
ry out the districts power program.
Horton in his message stated
that the order has been signed by
Judge Hollzer and is now on its way
to Washington, D. c., where the
district had previously filed its ap-
plication for $13,500,000 as loan
with y.....ch to develop the power
and erect distribution system to
bring this power to all parts of the
valley.
The order, however, restricts the
district from completing this loan
until further authorization to this
effect by the court. +
Hearing Started Yesterday 2
The last of the series of hearings
on this matter was opened before
Judge Hollzer in Los Angeles fed
eral court yesterday morning when
Horton presented his motion for
modification of the temporary re-
straining order which had been
brought by the power concern to
prevent the construction of stand
by power plant in Brawley, install
lation of necessary machinery in
this plant and the Inauguration of
the districts power development
and distribution program.
The main arguments in this ac-
ton had been heard by Judge Holl-
zer some months ago at which time
he took the case under submission
on briefs filed by attorneys for both
parties to the action. Following O.
continuation of the hearing on the
modification motion today Judge
Hollzer granted the motion, which.
1t is said, nullifies to a great ex-
tent the initial injunction secured
by the power interests.

- ~ After more TIL IAN a
month wi h ou t a fatal
" n traffic a - d e n in this
county, Ralph Navarro, 8
n y of Brawley was killed, and
but for the quick and he
roic action OF a WeStmorland school
teacher several other persons might
have been burned to death in an
automobile accident which happen
ed yesterday afternoon at 2:45 o.
clock, "a miles west of Brawley, ac-
cording to report at the state
traffic office. This brings the total
of automobile fatalities in the coun-
ty to 81 for the current year, two
less than this date the previous
year
The report states that car con-
tanning seven Mexicans returning
to Brawley from San Bernardinc
overturned, spilling some of the
passengers on the pavement and
pinning others beneath it and then
caught fire. Mrs. Mabel G. Bradley
a teacher in the Westmorland
schools who was returning from
her vacation and driving a short
distance behind the other car, wit
messed the accident and at first un-
aided, succeeded in eXtricating sew
eral of the victims from beneath the
burning machine.
While engaged in aiding the vic
Tins, other motorists arrived on the
scene of the accident and helped
Mrs. Bradley to bring the injured to
Westmorland and BraWley where
they were given treatment. Three OF
the persons were injured severely.
Those injured were Angel Garcia,
driver, Jessie Garcia, Jortillo Carri-
SOFA, Marguerite Navarro, Elias
Garcia and Lorenzo Garcia, all OF

The report made by Walter Walsh
of the state highway patrol states
that the car driven by Garcia went
into the soft sand at the side of the
pavement and overturned when the
driver attempted suddenly to bring
it back onto the highway. The re-
port further states that all the oc-
cupants of the Inflated car would
have been severely burned had it
not been for the prompt action on
the part of Mrs. Bradley.
Two other accidents were report
ed yesterday. Coming from West
morland to Brawley at o'clock yes
terday morning, a car driven by
Frank Jones, SO, shop foreman OF
The Brawley News, overturned five
miles west of BraWley and landed
upside down on a barbed wire fence.
1t was at first thought that Jones
had been critically injured but sub
seouent examination has shown that
his injuries are not serious.
w. Pitcher BraWley, lost control
of his car, skidded, struck post at
the side of the road and overturned
at 6:55 o'clock last night, 1la miles
west of Heber, another report states,
Pitcher was not injured in the ac-
cident.
