MELON DEAL
GETS OFF To
SLOW START.
Records Show May Weather
Not Unusually Cool In Com
parison With Other Years

Interesting figures relative to
cantaloupe production show this
season to be one of the SloweSt in
getting underway in the past 10
years, last season having had the
highest production to date. These
figures were supplied from records
in the agricultural commissioners
office by j. B. Norton, plant path
ologist.
Since 1925 when H. B. melons
were being produced in large guam
titles. up to the present time, when
there are only a few, the H. B. S
having been supplanted by mildew
resistant melons, the productions
are as follows: May "a, 1925, AZ cars
were shipped with a total of 219
for the season, which is comparable
with 1885, A cars having been ship
ped yesterday making a total of 252
for the season; in 1926, 379 cars
were shipped on May "a with to-
tai of 1884 for the season; 1927 was
a slow spring with SO cars shipped
on May "a and 679 for the season;
1928 was a little earlier, with 1853
cars on May "a and 2407 for the
season; 1929, a drop again, 13 for
May 30, and 493 for the season;
1880 showed an early spring, 382
cars May "a and 1868 for the sea-
son; 1881 was almost the same, 374.
for May "a and 3570 for the season;
1892 the crop was late again with
154 for May "a and 1864 for the sea-
son; production was even slower in
1888, only rs cars being shipped on
May "a and 507 for the season; but
in 1894, the first peak had been
passed by May "a when only 129
cars were shipped but when 1853
had been shipped for the season.
In looking over the graphs for
weather conditions, the records
show approximately the same type
of weather for May, few days of
100 or little above for May, with
the exception of last year when 100
was reached early in March and
112 on May II from the Imperial
weather records, ia from the Ell
Centre report.
Nearly every year a temperature
close to 100 was recorded in April
with the exception of this year.
Each May shows a large proportion
of cool weather as we'll as warm, in
dicating that this spring is not
quite as unusual as has been
thought.

LEGISLATURE DEADLOCKED in
BITTER FIGHT OVER BUDGET
Anti Administration Forces Have Suffici ent
Strength To Wage Long Fight For
Taxation Program

able to the Epic-Democrats has
been passed.
Administration leaders. seeking a
way to hurdle the obstacle, looked
to Governor Frank F. Merriam for
aid and considered the possibility of
trimming the budget bill to a point
where it would require only a ma
jority vote.
First, however, they planned a
showdown, possibly Monday, with
G. C. Cottrell, administration whip
and chairman of the ways and
means committee, hoping to get a
vote on the budget them.
AT the same time, conservative
Republicans watched for evidence
of money being paid to foot ex-
penses of legislators if the session
continues indefinitely. There were
reports that a fund had been raised,
presumably by Democratic party
followers, and that beginning Mon
day aSSemblymen who cannot af-
ford to remain here without pay
will be offered SIS a day for ex-
penSeS.
Might Face Bribe Charges
Acceptance of this money, Off
cials believed, would leave recipients
open to grand jury investigation on
possible bribery charges.
Unconfirmed rumors limited the
money has been supplied by Los
Angeles Democratic leaders who are
interested in bills designed to aid
independent oil producers. The
rumors even went SO far as to in
innate that the budget blocking
maneuver was engineered by inter-
ests seeking approval of bills which
so far have gained little headway;
that most members of the filibus-
ter group were innocent victims of
the plot, sincerely believing they
were asked to hold up the budget tc
force passage of adequate taxes anc
social legislation.
Leaders of the filibuster, mean
while, denied theirs was a program
to obstruct for the purpose of dis
rupting state government as charg-
ed by Cottrell. A statement signed
by ASSemblyman Clark, Anderson,
Donihue, Ralph w. Evans and
Jones, said In part:
Opposition to passage of the

WINS BRITISH
GOLF CROWN
Lawson Little Keeps Amateur
Title For Second Year, Makes
New Record
BY HARRY l.. PERCY
United Press Staff Correspondent


ST. ANNE'S ON THE SEA, Eng
land, May 25. - Lawson Little of
San Francisco made golfing history
today when he became the first
United States player to capture the
British amateur golt championship
two times. Little, defending the
title he won last year at Prestwick,
today defeated DR.. Will TWeddell
one up in the 36-hole final.
Little is the first man since the
turn of the century to have won
the title two years in succession.
Harold Hilton, who won it twice
subsequently captured tn tietle
in 1900 and 1901.
Little led from the first hole TO
the 30th where DR.. Tweddell scored
a second successive birdie to square
the match.
Little went one up again at the
32nd and was two up at the 33rd.
TWeddell cut the lead at the 35th,
leaving little Dormie on and the
final hole was halved in par As.
A crowd of some 5000 which had
been prepared to see Little score
one-sided victory. became frenzied
with excitement when the English
physician, who usually plays golf
only once a week, began clipping
strokes from par after rounding
the final turn. But as had been eX-
pected. the match involved cham
pion and an excellent club player,
and the champion retained his
crown.
Little is the first man in golfing
history to have won three major
amateur titles in succession. He
captured the United States title at
Brookline, Mass, last September,
after winning the British event in
Scotland He will remain here for
the British open and will forego
the U. S. open which starts at
Pittsburgh June 6.
Little led Tweddell by three up
at the end Of the morning round.
Little was out in 81 against
TWeddell's 40
Tweddell, who Won the cham
pionship in 1927, was repeatedly in
the rough and in bunkers, but his
play around the green's kept him
within striking distance of the bur-
ly Californian.
Each missed par 35 by one stroke
coming home, giving Little a round
medal of 70, and Tweddell 76.
Tweddell thrice, at the eighth,
11th and 18th became as much as
four down. Two great puts, one
of 20 feet at the 18th and a curl
ing one of seven feet at the home
green, helped the English physi-
clan.

President Announces 45 Per

Loan Distribution
RATE OF INTEREST is LOW
Creation OF Divisions Puts
Imperial County In With San
Bernardino And Riverside
BY RICHARD L. HARDNESS
United Press Staff Correspondent


WASHINGTON, May 25.-Presi-
dent Roosevelt today offered cities
an outright gift of $405 100000 as
an incentive to join in the work
lief program.
He ruled the 5000, 100000 public
works money in the $4,O00,000, 900
Unemployment fund should be dis
tributed to municipalities on a As
per cent grant and SIS per cent loan
basis. He set interest rates at three
per cent.
PWA distributed its original So
100000 by granting only 30 per
cent and loaning the other 10 with
certified bonds as collateral. The
money drew four per cent.
The Presidents action came after
Mayor Fiorello H. LaGuardia, New
York, and Paul v. Bettors, Chicago,
secretary of the U. S. Conference of
Mayors, had recommended distribu-
ton of the new money on a $3.50
basis.
They pointed out that other gov
ernment agencies in the recovery
drive would be financing 100 per
cent of unemployment projects they
supervised, that cities would not
borrow when they might receive aid
for nothing.
Seen as Compromise
The $3.50 loan and grant ratio
was seen as White House compro-
mise with the municipal executives
and with the Public Works Admin
istration. PWA officials had rec
commended 40-60 proportion. Bor-
rowing cities still must post secru-
ity.
liberalization of the grant ;"
! the announcement said, is designed
to open the way for non-federal
bodies to cooperate in the work re-
lief program with the federal gov
eminent on a more generous basis.
"Such action is designed to make
it easier for communities to borrow
funds . instead of requesting out
right all-federal grants, thus help
ing to carry out the Presidents OBJ
jective of seeing as large portion
as possible of the funds returned to
the treasury"
Works Progress Administrator
Harry L. Hopkins, meanwhile, an
| nounced completion of his task of
dividing the nation into 307 separ-
ate work-celief areas so the admin
istration can keep check of reem-
ployment progress in each section.
The regions were plotted, he said,
, on three chief considerations; the
number of families on relief; quick
transportation and communication;

SACRAMENTO, May 25. - The
California legislature ended the
18th week Of its spring session to-
day in an atmosphere of bitterness
occasioned by a partisan deadlock
on the 1935-37 budget. Serious
fights impended tax legislation and
social measures.
Anti administrator forces, led
by ASsemblyman William Moseley
Jones, Democratic minority leader,
threw the legislature into tangle
by showing they h q enough
strength TO block the budget and
thereby extend the session indefin-
itely.
Approval of the governmental ap-
propriations measures will require
a two-thirds majority. Twenty
seven no" votes could stop it, and
Jones apparently had at least 81
banded together in a bloc which in
