JOHNSON GETS
ANSWER FROM
RADIO PRIEST
Former NRA Chief Described
As Cracked Record And
Chocolate Soldier
BY LYLE G. WILSON
United Press Staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON, March II. tU.P-
Gen. Hugh S. johnson today plan
ned ano.ner radio speech to carry
forward his campaign to extermin-
ate the influence of this pair of
political termiteS Father Charles
E. Coughlin and Sen. Huey P Long.
Following up the generals call to
thinking Americans" to join his
campaign, his secretary, Miss Fran
ces Robinson, said "he is going to
go on the air" to answer Father
Coughlin's address last night.
1.-The speech probably will be
made within week." she said.
Father Coughlin, answering john
sons original denunciation of him
and Long as pied Pipers" of revo-
luton, called the former NRA head
a chocolate soldier" a demagogue
and a servant of the money chang
ers," particularly of Bernard M.
Baruch.
johnson launched his program in
reply to Father Coughlin's radio
speech last night in which the
priest assailed the general. Father
Coughlin said the choice was his
plan or collapse. The general said
Father Coughlin's way led to an
archy.
Changes Statement
He listened last night to the
priests radio attack. The generals
first impulse was to seize the anti
Coughlin banner and make the
fight. There was issued in his name
a statement saying:
Il should like to pledge myself to
fostering a bipartisan, non-politi-
cal, nationwide movement to ex-
terminate the influence of this pair
OF politi<a1 Jermites."
But shortly after a. m. today, the
generals representatives deleted
that portion of his statement and
substituted:
Il should think that every think
ing American should cooperate to
eXterminate the influence of this
pair of political termites and there
is only one way to do this-on the
radio. There is plenty to say. I in
vite the expressions of others who
share these views. These expressions
will determine my own course of ac-
ton"
Father Coughlin pleaded to lead
in driving the money changers out
OF the temple"
He went on to call Johnson a
braggart, a demagogic appealer to
professional bigotry. a mere tool of
Wall Street, in general, and of Ber-
nard M Baruch, in particular. 1t
was a line of attack first used
against Johnson last week by Long
to counter the generals initial sor-
tie against his two enemies.

NOVEL METHOD
Of STUDYING

School children in all the coun-
ties of California are studying their
home state by an interesting and
novel method. The chamber of
commerce has received numerous
inquiries from practically every city
and county in California from
children in the lower elementary
grades, stating that they are TAX
ing imaginary tours in their classes
of California. Some have picked
the main agricultural commodities
of the different sections, others
have chosen irrigation, others his
torical and scenic points of inter-
est. In this way, each classroom
is provided with nearly complete
supply of information regarding
each county in California.
Besides these inquiries from
children in this state, many letters
have been received from the mid
die west and eastern parts of the
United States. One classroom in
Wisconsin was particularly interest
ed in the irrigation system in I'M
perial Valley and the construction
work in progress on the All-Ameri-
can canal. Yet another class has
asked for samples of cotton which
were sent by Manager Hays.
"This growing interest in Imper-
ial Valley is gratifying he said,
"for we believe that through child
rem, their parents are educated,
and the information and data sent
these school children will be long
remembered and is bound to bring

Incumbents Apparently Re-
main In Positions

Who are assessor collector and
treasurer of the Imperial Irriga-
tion District seemed to be In
doubt today as word was received
from the appellate court at Fres-
no today that the case of Miss
Winnie Barry and +. II. Mclver,
respectively incumbent assessor
collector and treasurer, are to be
submitted OH briefs, requiring 30
days to file.
The district board has declared

and E. N. d. Hatch treasurer, by
virtue of the election held on
February 6. An injunction OBJ
tanned by McIver and Miss Barry
in the local superior courts, pre-
vented Bratton and Hatch from
taking office today.
McIver and Miss Barry were
still at their respective desks
and attempts to get an opinion
from officials or attorney as to
who was 'in" and who was
"out, F." failed to bring any en-
lightenment.
Hearing on the injunction bar
ring BrattOn and Hatch from
office Is scheduled in the super

Harry w. Horton, chief counsel
for the irrigation district, tele-
phoned officials here shortly be-
fore noon that the hearing on the
order to show cause why some 324
star" ballots had not been count
ed in the February 6 district cleo
ton had been argued in the appel

Horton, attorney for E. N. D.
Hatch and Charles Brattdn, whose
election to the posts of treasurer
and assessor collector are being
contested by F. H. McIver and Vim

grounds that had these contested
votes been counted they would
have been rejected, will file the
first brief within 10 days.

the next 10 day period to be fol-
lowed by the filing of a final brief

Memorialize Congress
MOVE LOST BY FOUR VOTES
Sponsor Changes Vote So
Measure May Come Up For
Reconsideration
MOVE LOST BY FOUR VOTES

SACRAMENTO, March IL. W.D-
The California senate tossed a
bombshell into Gov. Frank F. Mer-
RAMS Townsend old age pension
plan attitude today when 1t refused
to approve a resolution asking con-
gress to adopt the plan in all Its
details.
The vote, taken after lengthy
debate, was II TO 2l.
Senator Ralph E. Swing, who de-
livered an impassioned plea for
support of the measure, said he
would introduce it for reconsider
alton, probably tomorrow.
Strong opposition to the resolu-
ton became evident as soon as the
measure was introduced for action,
despite the attitude of many op-
ponents that the bill should be
passed if for no other reason than
to end the controversy which has
occupied SO much of the legisla-
ture IS time.
Senator Culbert Olson, Los AM
geles Democrat, led arguments
against the measure, claiming 1t
was a political movement, that the
plan itself was unsound financial
ly, that it had been rejected by
congress and that therefore the
legislature could accomplish noth-
ing by voting unqualified endorse
ment of the proposed Townsend
program.
He was assailed by Swing, and
when he attempted to answer, he
was interrupted by Senator William
R. Sharkey, Martinez. administra-
ton floor leader, who complained
he was out of order.
81 am sorry if I have gotten on
the nerves of my good friend Sen
tor Sharkey,o Olson said with a
smile. 81 don't think I need say
any more now"
The vote then was taken. as fol-
lows:
Favoring the resolution: Biggar,
Difani. Fletcher, Garrison, Jesper-
sen, Keough, McColl, McGovern,
Metzger, Parkman, Pierovich, Pow
ers, Reindollar, Seawell, Sharkey.
Snyder, Tickle.
Opposing the resolution: Critten-
den, Deuel., Duval, Edwards, Cor
don, Hays, Hulse, Knowland, Nc
Cormack, McGuinness, Mixter. Oh
son, Perry, Rich, Schottky. Scollan,
Slater, Swing, Wagy. Williams,
Young.
Swing changed his vote from
"aye" to "no" in order that he
could introduce the measure for
reconsideration.

gram received from Ben Hulse, state
senator, that the irrigation district
bill will be brought up in the legis-
lature on March 10 and requested a
delegation of local directors to be
there at that time. 1t was replied
that as the board has been subpoe-
naed to appear in federal court, Los
Angeles, ON March 10, it would be
impossible to be in Sacramento on

sent to Hulse asking that the intro
duction OF the bill into the legisla-
ture be pos; poned, if possible un-
til March 26. Following this the
board recessed until o'clock this
afternoon.
Earlier in the morning the old
board of directors, with A. j. Ka-
lin absent, had met in regular ses-
sion for the transaction of neces-
sary business for the district. A re-
cess was taken during this session
for a special conference with Phil
D. Swing, special representative OF
the district in Washington, D. c.,
TO confer on the district matters be-
fore Swing returns to Washington.
The old board adjourned shortly be-
fore noon.
Swing held another conference
with the district board this after
noon and stated that his plans for
the immediate future are indefin-
ite. 1t was at first thought that he
might leave for Washington tonight
but this departure may be delayed
several days.

Skin perfume, a happy medium between regular, heavy scents and light toilet waters, is one of the new discoveries of the cosmetic world. Smelling like a cluster of fresh lilacs, it is one of the most delightful after-bath preparations a girl can use. Furthermore, ap- piled with a pad that has b e n dipped in ice water and then squeezed almost dry, it makes nice mild skin tonic.
 When you have finished you r bath, simply pour out large hand fuls of the lilac skin perfume and rub it on your body from head to feet. Notice how quickly it dries and how refreshed and cool you feel afterward.
 Then, too, you'll find that the faint odor of lilacs clings to you throughout the day. In summer time, when it's too h ot to use heavy odors, you'll learn to love a preparation of this type.
 Don't put the new body per- fume on clothes and handker- chiefs. It. like regular perfum- cry, smells a great d cal better when applied directly to the skin.

 know of no better rule in case. of light illness in child than to; put him to bed at once. His life may depend on 1t or his whole lookout of future health. The next thing Is to check on his tempera- ture; every mother should have clinical thermometer. If he has any fever at all he needs a doctor. if only 10 say 1t IS not serious.
 Fever means illness is having a party, Sometimes 1t is only low grade'' germ of the infectious cold type. Again 1t may be real enemy. The mother cannot tell which 1t is herself, because serious disease has a habit of putting his foot in the door first and pretending to be sheep instead of a big bad wolf starts out with sniffles, maybe. or little headache or cough or a stomach upset.
 It deceives the best of us, and we think, "Oh, 1t isn't much. To- morrow Billy will be out and back to school" By the third day we be- gin to get worried and in the mid- dle of the night send for the doc tor.
 Might Have Been Avoided
 "Is he going to die?" we greet him fearfully. "Of course not" is the reply, 'but if you had sent for me the day he took sick we could have reduced this trouble consid- erably. It is going to take quite while to get him out of the woods"
 Small children, especially babies, often run high temperatures for minor disturbances. This is only another reason for playing safe. How IS one to tell whether or not it is a symptom of serious illness?
 Another good rule to follow is to look every common cold in the face, so to speak, and find out if it has serious intentions.
 If a child has cold in the head, all right, provided he has no fever and otherwise seems well. Home remedies may avail. If he won't, eat, or looks flushed, if he lies around and won't play and cries easily, better go to the telephone and ask thee doctor to step in, please.
 When he coughs, if he does. put. your ear down to his chest and listen for a faint rattling. Also watch for any redress or faint rash on the chest. Look into his mouth and observe the color. Any rasp- berry red color is not normal, or any whitish spots or film on the throat.
 A child can run a temperature from infection or absorbed toxins so it is best not to jump to con- clusions about some specific dis ease. If there is ear trouble or acute tonsil or adenoid infection the mother will not be likely to diagnose 1t herself. Temperature can and does result from these sources. Only the doctor can tell.
 All illness in children. needs pro- fessional opinion because little folk are vulnerable to 50 many more things than adults. It is doubly ne- cessary to put them in bed when they develop unhappy symptoms and next to get the doctor on the case. It may only be too many pea nuts or too much running in the sun. If so, celebrate.
