assembly today at the same time

A resolution by Assemblyman

Charles j. Wagner, Alameda, DEM
ocrats, asked the governor TO pre-
sent his budget message Gas quick

legislature "could accomplish lit

The resolution drew immediate
opposition from Assemblyman
Charles Lyon, Los Angeles Repub-
lican leader, who termed the pro-
posal "highly improper and urged
the lower house to cooperate with
the governor in the tremendous
task he faced in preparing finan-
cial program.
Administration leaders avoided a

CHECKS
Up LABOR ON
CANAL WORK

Charges and accusations preva-
lent in the valley that contractors
on the All-American canal con-
struction work were using an un-
reasonable amount of outside labor
which had not been cleared by the
National Unemployment office here
were aired before meeting of the
irrigation district board of directors
this afternoon.
Chan Livingston, manager of the
local unemployment office, w. N.
Cunningham, federal labor agent
and c. L. Gillett, employed by the
district and board of supervisors to
check up on this situation, were
called before the board for the con-
ference.
Evan T. Hewes, chairman of the
board brought up the matter and
stated that If the situation is such
that people in Imperial Valley are
not getting square deal or the
contractors are violating the terms
of their contract, the situation
should be remedied and the con-
tracts carried out in q proper man.
ner.
Livingston stated that there are
some outsiders employed by the
Callahan company who are entitled
to be there because of previous ex-
perience in handling the big drag
line xachines. He read from fig
ures showing that late last month
there were ISL men on the Callahan
payroll of which so are non-reSi-
dent composing the supervising
staff of engineers, office help and
similar workers.
A letter from R. G. Williams,
construction engineer for the rec
lamation service, was read in which
it was stated that on January II a
check by the Callahan company
showed 200 men on their payroll OF
which AZ were keyplen, or out OF
county workers while 153 were To-
Gals. Cunningham stated that the
Callahan company has always
shown great interest in seeing that
local county labor is given work on
the canal.
The discussion of this question
continued through the afternoon
session of the board.

Valley May Get
Touch Of Frost

While there is a chance that the
valley may experience frost early
tomorrow morning, Fred A. Baugh-
man, local observer for the U. S.
frost service, was inclined to be-
lieve that the clouds will be heavy
enough to retard the falling of tem-
peratures, basing his opinion on in
dications available at noon today.
The coolest temperatures report
ed in the shelters where the gov
ernment records are taken was 33
this morning. Due to the excessive
moisture in the air there were frost
deposits on the ground in many To-
calities.

Wrath OF Nazi Group

GENEVA, Jan. 16. U.P) - The
committee of the League Council,
headed by Baron Pompeo Daloisi of

SAARBRUCKEN, Jan. 16.-Com-
munist and Socialist leaders in the
Saar prepared to go into hiding to-
day and Jews were closing out
their business interests in fear OF
Nazi reprisalS.
France awaited the beginning of
a mass exodus of anti-Nazis, in
Guiding thousands who already were
refugees from Germany, as Saar-
landers continued to celebrate their
prospective reunion with the faith
erland.
Although organized Nazis were
held in rigid discipline by their
leaders in carrying out Adolf Hit
ler's pledge that those who voted
in Sundays plebiscite would not
be prosecuted, there were incidents
of individual terrorism and all an
ti-Nazis in the Saar were nervous
All was quiet today and Saar-
landers went back to work. No
incidents marred celebrations which
continued throughout last night.
Many Jewish merchants who
boarded up their shops yesterday
reopened them. Police said there
was not a single case of jews suf-
fering from persecution. rIeverthe-
less, more Jews left by train today,
their assets turned into cash. They
sought new homes in southern
France where they can live on
farmlands as tenants.

NEW ORLEANS, Jan. 16. W,D -
Huey Longs foes mobilized today
for q showdown.
Drawn into cohesion for the first
time through the Square Deal as
Sociation, his enemies In all parts of
the state were awaiting nightfall
and the expiration of an ultimatum
delivered to Gov. o. X. Allen for re-
peal of the "dictatorial laws"
Final impetus to the movement
against Long and the state legiSla-
ture was given at mass meeting
of several hundred women in Ba-
ton Rouge last night.
With prayers and tears women
speakers offered to sacrifice their
mems lives, if necessary, in a bat
tie against the dictatorship.
Mrs. J. S. Roussell was elected
president of the women's auxiliary

Some one may be hurt" she said,
"in fact, I'm afraid this will end
in bloodshed, but our husbands and

Newspapers throughout the state
backed the stand of the organiza-
tion. Elrie Robinson, publisher OF
the ST. Francisville Democrat in a
signed editorial referred to Gov. AL
len as "a dirty pup" The editorial
said 1.-The governor should either
resign or commit suicide"
Meanwhile Gov. Allen gave no
sign. He refused to comment on the
situation, but has taken the precau-
ton to call in state police and sta
ton them about Louisiana's $5,000,-

NEW PACT To
Be PREPARED
AND OFFERED
Upper Basin States Holding
Together On Division OF
Colorado River Water
SEEK TO END OBSTACLES
Modified Pact Will Be Drawn
With Consideration Given To
All Claims

"I think the situation is great
ly improved particularly in this
that the compact states are still
standing together on the question, ("
Evan T. Hewes, chairman of the ir-
rigation district board of directors
stated this morning. He added:
81 feel that as we continue to meet
more thorough understanding of
the situation will result
When asked what was the net
result of the conferences Hewes
said that representatives from other
basin states found the Arizona del
egates in a more receptive mood
than they had ever been before and
that it was generally felt that with
the next conference the present
seeming obstacles will be amicably
and satisfactorily ironed out.
1t is expected that Arizona viii
prepare modified contract which
will be more in accord with the
views of the other basin states.
This is to be submitted at future
meeting of the representatives for
further consideration.
This conference was to discuss
the proposed Arizona contract for
the division of storage water to
Boulder dam and power to be gen.
Grated at the dam. Secretary 1ckeS
had refused to approve the contract
as originally rendered and suggested
this conference to settle the diff
ficultieS.
Members of the irrigation district
board of directors with Harry Hor-
ton, chief counsel, and M. j. Dowd,
chief engineer, attended the confer
ence. Phil D. Swing, special repre-
sentative of the district in Wash
ington, D. c., was also present at the
Phoenix meeting which lasted over
the past two days.
The able manner in which Swing
presented the position of Imperial
Valley at the Phoenix conference
drew high praise from irrigation
district officials today. Swing had
spared neither time nor effort in
preparing this case and it was. due
in a great measure to him that the
valley delegation was given such
attention at the meeting.

WASHINGTON Jan. 16. - Pres
ident Roosevelt today requested the
senate to put the United States in
to the World Court to make Gin
ternational justice practicable and
serviceable."
In a special message, the Presi-
dent threw the weight of his influ-
ence behind the World Court move
ment, asking early ratification of
the protocols for American adher-
ence.
Mr.. Roosevelt's IS message, read
to the senate by clerk, gave i'm
petus to the most determined move
ment in years for American adher-
ence to the court.
Ratification of the protocols at
an early date is expected generally.
Members of the old bloc of cir
reconcilables who blocked entry
into the League of Nations, includ-
ing Sen. Hiram Johnson (Rep)
California, and William E. Borah
tRep) Idaho, still oppose the court,
however, despite administration in
sistence that it will not involve this
country in the league.
WASHINGTON Jan. 16. U.H -
President Roosevelt today sent the
following message to the senate on
the world court:
To the senate:
The movement to make interna-
tional justice practicable and SER
viceable is not subject to partisan
considerations. For years, Republi-
can and Democratic administrations
and party platforms alike have ad-
vocated a court of justice to which
nations might voluntarily bring their
disputes for judicial decision.
