ers in the homes and the use of
electricity on farms increasing,
this section will develop an i'm
mense market for the sale of
electricity. Consequently, if power
is brought in here from the out
side, or if G foreign-owned power
company is allowed to have this
business, it will be a constant drain
on the community, as any profit
obtained from the sale of power
will be sent away from here, while
if the system is publicly owned it
will be an asset to this community,
and any profit that may be made
will stay here and be a benefit to
the people here. This is evident,
regardless of the fact that the de-
velopment of the higher pumped
areas depends entirely on the use
of power for their pumping, and
additional water for the coastal
plain in the vicinity of San Diego,
must have cheap power to make its
additional water supply possible.

TEXT OF ENGINEERS REPORT ON
DEVELOPMENT OF CANAL POWER

all of the available power from the
All-American canal, the distribut-
ing center at Coachella is only one
hundred miles from the Parker
Dam, where another large block of
power is available.
While the working out of any
program that would bring all these
communities together looks like a
big undertaking now, future de-
velopment might point a way to
bring this about. The power sys-
tenn should be built and owned by
the people here for several reasons.
First. Because this is climate
where electricity in the future will
play a large part in the develop
ment of industries connected with
agriculture, such as the refrigera-
ton of fresh fruits and vegetables
and all industries connected with
the dairy business will require large
amount of power for their success

Second. Then living conditions,

$4,000 men were reported by the

LABOR CHIEF ASKS CHANGE IN
FEDERAL SOCIAL SECURITY PLAN

WASHINGTON, Jan. %. W.P)-
Changes in the administration S
social security program to provide
greater benefits for the unemployed
and increased pensions for the aged
were requested before the senate
finance committee today by Pres
ident William Green of the Amer
lean Federation of Labor.
Green criticized both the unem-
ployment insurance and pension
features of the pending Wagner
Lewis bill.
He suggested payroll of 5 per
cent so that unemployment bene-
fits up to $25 week could be paid
The tax proposed by the admins
tration is 8 per cent, with suggested
payments of SIS a week.
He asked that old age pensions
be $50 a month instead of $50.
Standards should be written into
the bill so that states could not go
below certain minimums for unem-
ploymeZt insurance, Green main
tanned.
Green asked that:
l. Employee contributions for un-
employment insurance be prohibit
ed.
2. The payroll tax be increased
from to per cent.
3. In no case the weekly unem-
ployment benefit less than half the
normal wages.
4. Unemployment benefits begin
Imperial Valley press., 1935-01-28

sooner than contemplated in the
proposed waiting period of four
weeks.
For the old age security program,
Green said organized labor felt that
the proposed pensions of about $50
per m/lth were too low. He sug-
gested amendments which would,
/. Increase the monthly pension
to minimum of $50 except in cases
of persons receiving other income.
2. Reduce the age at which pen
sions would start from 65 to 60.
3. Limit administrative costs.
Green argued that unemployment
insurance should not be left to ex-
perimentation by the states.

FEDERAL MEN
SAYS OTHERS
IN KIDNAPPING

FLEMINGTON, N. j., Jan. 28.W.H
Some of the federal agents who
spent two years on the Lindbergh
kidnapping case believe Bruno Rich
ard Hauptmann did not commit
the crime unaided the United Press
learned today.
This group argue that when the
crime was plotted the baby's death
was not planned and preparations
for taking care of the child during
its captivity had to be made. This
theory would implicate more than
one person.
1t is argued that if Hauptmann
had intended taking the baby to his
own home, Mrs. Hauptmann would
have had knowledge of the crime.
Investigation has convinced detect
ives she knew nothing.
Hauptmann is being prosecuted
on the premise that he committed
the crime alone and unaided. Most
of the detectives agree with this
theory.

Editors Note: This is the
fourth and final installment. of
the consulting engineers report
on plans for developing power
from the All-American canal.
Summary and Conclusions

The conclusions that arrive at
after making the accompanying
study of the power possibilities on
the All-American canal. are:
First: That the conditions war;
rant the construction Of five hydro
electric plants with combined
capacity of about 10000 XIV. The
cost of the total power development
will not exceed $1,000 per XIV,
about $3.50 per HIP.
Second: That the diesel electric
plant now under construction at
Rrawley be expanded to a capac-
ity of $4,000 XIV.
Third: That the transmission and
distribution system covering the
Imperial and Coachella valleys, as
outlined in this report. should be
built.
Fourth: The plcsenU amount paid
for electric power in the Imperial
and Coachella districts is suf-
ficient to make the entire develop
ment paying proposition, and the
future growth in the district will
soon create market that will
yield sufficient revenue to go a
long way toward paying the cost of
thf All-American canal.
Certainly everything points to
the economy of building these
plants while the canal construc-
ton is going on. The valley itself,
with it's wonderful possibilities,
offers the best and logical market
for this power and the development
of power must go ahead of the de-
velopment of the valley in order
that the power, like the water
should be available for, and con-
tribute to, the comfort and assis-
tance of those who labor here.
AS mentioned in the report,
pumping offers large possibilities
for market for this power, and as
the upper mesas are much less
liable to frost than lower portions
of the valley, undoubtedly as soon
as power is available, the develop
ment of the upper mesas will COM
mence. AS these higher lands are
a part of the district, they must
be supplied water. This is the only
power cheap enough to do this.
My conclusion is that these
plants should be built to the capac-
ity as outlined in this report; that
the construction should be carried
on with the construction of the
canal, and that the development
should be financed with govern
ment money since this is source
mentioned in the contract from
which the district will get the
money to pay for the All-American
canal.
AS a result of the power pos
Sibilities on the All-American
canal, I am impressed with the
possibilities of making this power
here the center of a very COM
prehensive and economical power
system for this southern section of
the state of California.
The Imperial and Coachella dis
tricts are served with electrical
energy that is brought in over one
of the longest transmission lines
in the world, with consequent high
cost and heavy losses. Now, with
this Development in this southern
section of the state Ca section that
in the past has had no hydro
electric possibilities) it is possible,
by connecting with San Diego, to
supply this entire section with
cheap power. In event that future
use and pumping should consume
