Possibility OF
Rain In Valley

Weather conditions will remain
unsettled and there is a sight pos
sibility of rain for Imperial Valley
tonight states Fred A. Baughman.
local observer for the U. S.. frost
service.
Nearly all of California is having
rain today and Washington and
Oregon are experiencing extremely
cold weather. At midnight yester-
day the temperatures in the north
west were extremely low, reaching
20 below. zero at Helena, Montana.
The valley is still having wester-

enced rain. The storm center is
north east of the valley over Col

Baughman expects that the valley
may have a frost Sunday or Mon

senate will begin next week the task
OF putting social legislation in
shape for floor debate.
Administration leaders will not at
tempt to hasten that process. Much
of the effectiveness of the security

have thorough discussion and cer-
tainty of results than speed and
confusion.

if he desired.
Sharp-shooting at particular parts
of the legislation already has start
ed and more will follow.
There appeared to be general
agreement that the SIS per month
proposed as the governments con-
tribution to an aged person in need
should be increased.

outlay of nearly a billion dollars
for ornaments and SIS for old age"
Sen. William E. Borah, (Rep) Ida,
said. Others echoed this sentiment,
among them many who privately
have shown concern over the
mounting tide of Townsend letters.
One Republican leader with a re-
cognized knack of sizing up situa-

that before congress adjourned

DIE IN CRASH
Fog Blamed For Death Of For
mer Endurance Record Holder
And Companion.

SAN BERNARDINO, Jan. %. W,H
Fog sweeping across the treacher-
Gus San Bernardino mountains was
blamed today for an airplane crash
which killed Oren w. Mendell of
Los Angeles, flying soldier of for
tune and former endurance flight
co-record-holder, and Polly Louise
Counnerilh, 81, Hollywood dancer.
The open cockpit biplane in which
they were returning to Los Angeles
from Barstow dashed them to their
deaths on a mountainside 18 miles
northwest of here late yesterday.
Three CCC boys. working quar-
ter-mile away, heard the plane
drone in circles overhead as though
lost in a thick fog and then crash.
The youths cut a trail 700 feet
through thick underbrush to find
the two victims dying. Mendell,
about 35, had been thrown clear of
the wreckage.
Edward P. Doyle, chief deputy
coroner, said he was informed Men
dell took the plane from Los Ange-
les municipal airport without per-
mission of it's owner, j. Everett We'd
die, of Playa Del Rey. With Miss
Counnerilh, he flew her mother,
Mrs. Richard Littlefield, known on
the stage as Ethel Ray Simmons, to
Barstow to visit her husband and
was returning with the dancer when
the crash occurred.
Guides with flashlights led an am
bulance eight miles over rocky
mountain trail to the scene. The bo-
dies were returned here hours later.
Broke Army Record
Mendell first gained flying fame
when he and R. B. Reinhart broke
the endurance flight record estab-
lished by the army plane, "QueS-
ton Mark" After new record was
set by the Hunter brothers in st.
Louis, M ndell and Reinhart
sought to recapture the title in four
attempts In the Pride of Hollywood,
but failed. An argument over the
final failure precipitated a fist fight
between the quick-tempered Men,
dell and R. v. Howard, friend, and
the pilot was arrested on battery
charges.
At about this time, federal auth
critics charged Mendell with con-
spiracy to smuggle Japanese across
the Mexican border. He was con-
victed and sentenced to one year in
the Los Angeles county Jail, Octo-
ber S, 1881. He sought probation SO
he could undertake a round-the-
world flight but his application was
denied.
Miss Counnerilh was an aspiring
film dancer Her father is manager
of a commercial telegraph agency at
Barstow.

the prediction made by Hon. Ed p.
Sample, former state senator from
San Diego, in an address before the
Townsend club meeting in the Will
son school auditorium here last
night.
Sample gave a very inspiring ad-
dress OH the provress OF the nea-
sure to date. He told of its gradual
increase in momentum until at pre-
sent it encompasses the entire coun-
try. h.: -
This measure, Sample stated, is
the only one proposed at present
which will definitely relieve unem-
ployment and give millions OF AM
ericans q real new deal in life. He
stated that in his opinion this bill
As proposed would relieve 95 per
cent of present relief expenditures
and like amount of charity ex-
pcnses.
IT Is the only nope OF the aged
for an economic security in their
declining years, he stated. He point
ed out that the federal government
Is expending $4,000 100000 year
as a result of crime, criminals and
OH crime prevention. This sum
would be materially cut down by the
Townsend Plan as large proper
ton of crime is committed by young
people between the ages Of 10 and
% who arc out of work. The en-
ployment of these young men and
women would give them a new hope
and a new perspective OH life,

SAY PAROLED

CRIME CAREER
Officers Charge Stevens Had
Hopes OF Becoming Another

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 18. U.H
Clyde Stevens, 24-year-old des-
perado accused of being tn e
"brains' of the prison break at
San quentin last Wednesday, as
pired to be the nation IS most ruth

AS the first step in that direction,
Stevens, paroled after three year
robbery term, engineered the escape
of four prisoners as recruits for
the gang with which he planned
criminal tour of the middle west
and east, according to the investi-
gators.
Stevens ambitions were smashed
when San Francisco police captured
him in a Sacramento river island
shack and when a sheriff S posse
caught the four escaped convicts,
wounding one of them fatally.
"We are certain that Stevens as
pired to be America IS public enemy
No. l." said Julian Alco, acting
warden of San quentin prison.
warden James b. Holonan was
Slugged in the jail break. He still
is in a critical condition.
"He saw in himself another John
Dillinger," Alec said. "He want
ed to surround himself with a gang
he could trust.
"We believe he intended to start
east with the four escaped con-
victs on tour of crime which he
hoped would establish him as the

his plan while in prison and car

FLEMINGTON, N. j, Jan. 18.-
Testimony that Bruno Richard
Hauptmann had sprained ankle
two days after the Lindbergh kid
naping and a passionate outburst
by Mrs. Anna Hauptmann, wife OF
the accused man, caused sensation
today at Hauptmanns trial for
murder.
Mrs. Hauptmann's outburst, with
a cry of Lying" duplicated yester-
days outbreak by Hauptmann, as
witnesses continued to pile up
damning evidence against the Bronx
carpenter.
Mrs. Hauptmann's angry shout
of You are lyingl" at a former
neighbor, Mrs. Ella Achenbach,
came when her former neighbor
and employer testified
l. That Mrs. Hauptmann, visiting
her directly after the kidnapping.
said she and her husband had "JuSt
come pack from a trip"
Q. That Hauptmann, walking with
a limp, said he had sprained his
ankle.
Bruno Hauptmann's limp" was
also of great significance. 1t is the
states assertion that when he kid
naped the child and carried his
bundle" down the homemade lad
der, the ladder broke, precipitating
him to the ground, probably killing
the child, in the fall, and undoubt-
edly injuring the kidnaper.
Court Angry sas
Mrs. Hauptmann, her eyes blazing
raised a shrill voice in the silence
that had followed Mrs. Achenbach's
first reply. 5a .c'
Again there was a conlmotion In
court. Justice Thomas w. Trench
ard, somewhat angry, pounded for
order. The prosecution attorneys
leaped to their feet and began re-
monstrating.
The blonde wife of the prisoner
sank back to her chair, her face
white and grim smile around her
lips.
The outburst was as spectacular
as that of yesterday. when her hus-
band shouted a challenge to Thomas
Sisk, of the department of justice.
1t was more quickly quelled however.
and it led to stern warning from
the justice that there must be no
more outbreaks of that sort.
Mrs. Achenbach'S testimony,
which came as stunning surprise
to the defense, is considered vital.
If 1t is supported that Hauptmalln
was away on a trip, and that he had
broken ankle then the states story
of the kidnapping is partially substan-
tiated.
Hauptmann has claimed he was
in New York at the time of the kid
naping, and that he took his wife
home from a restaurant on the
night the crime was committed.
