WASHINGTON, June 1l.-Ad-
ministration leaders failed today in
their effort to rush an NRA extern
sion resolution through the senate
during a half-hour overtime ses-
sion.
The Senate's traditional fondness
for protracted discussion caused
downfall of the leaders plans.
Chairman Pat Harrison of the
senate finance committee an
nounced he would bring up the
NRA resolution again as soon as
the senate had disposed of the
pending public utility bill later this
afternoon.
The senate met at 1870 a. m.
but encountered an unexpected
move from Sen. Thomas P. Gore,
(Dem0 Oklahoma, who offered an
amendment requiring that all gov
ernment workers receiving $4,000 or
more in annual salary be appoint
ed by the President and confirmed
by the senate.
Gore was supported by Sen.

With Success
ASSESSOR ASKS SALARY
Board Advised To Wait Until
Supreme Court Gives Final
Ruling On Election Case

A resolution asking the irrigation
| district board to discharge Harry
w. Horton as chief counsel because
he had given misguided advice to
the majority members of the board
in regard to the February election
failed to pass the board and was
lost this morning. 1t was intro
duced by Ira Aten and seconded by
Mark Rose, who voted its adoption
while directors HeweS, Young and
Morrow voted against it.
Previous to this action Miss Vim
ME Barry had come before the
board and presented a formal de-
mand for salaries of herself and
deputies from March II to the
present. She stated her office had
been working for three months
without pay and that the work in
the office was just about complet-
ed.
Director Rose moved the payment
of this demand saying that the
work had been done and should be
paid for, regardless of who had
done it. Director Aten seconded
this motion stating that he felt
there was no use in causing extra
expense which would be necessary
if court actions were taken to re-
cover this money.
When put to a roll call vote this
motion lost, the majority members
of the board voting against its
adoption. Hugh MacKinnon, attor-
ney who had represented Miss Bar
ry in litigation since the election
stated that compensation should be
given for the work done regardless
of the outcome of future actions In
the matter.
Kirk Urges Wait
George Kirk, assistant district
counsel, stated that the opinion of
the appellate court given in San
Diego recently could not be consid-
cred final until the supreme court
had reviewed the decision and that
the safest course for all concerned
to follow would be to wait until
that decision could be given by the
highest court in the state.
Presence of Charles Morrow.
Brawley director, on the board was
challenged by several spectators
and it was said that he should not
have voted because the appellate
court decreed that with the prop
erty qualification act declared un-
constitutional the whole election
was void and that, therefore, Nor
row was not elected director. Evan
T.. Hewes, chairman of the board
pointed out that even under those
circumstances the previous voting

SA SAYS

HOLLYWOOD, June 10. (To
the Editor of The Press) Hope
nobody don't appeal this kidnap-
ing case to the supreme court,
for it certainly interferes with
state rights, and as they have
just decided that the federal
government has no more stand
ing than Santa Claus, why they
might make 'em turn 'em loose.
1t kinder shows that the govern
ment can do something. They
ought to turn all crime over to
'em and take it out of local poll
tics. But all they have to do TO
find out who the criminal is now
adays. just find the one that's
been pardoned the most times.
These two guys seemed to just
have made one night stands out
of all the jails in the northwest.

meeting was presided over by the
president. Myron w. Whitney.
The purpose of the organization
was to foster large chorus of selected
singers for the rendering of the fine
choral music of different periods and
schools. The members of the board
felt that the purpose Of the society
had not been fulfilled. that there had
been a deviation from the original
plan and that the changing Of the
chorus itself nd the inability of the
members 10 attend rehearsals faith
fully made it difficult to carry for
ward and advance the art OF choral
singing.
The society has been sustained by

its support and the chorus has paid
