The family-type airplane has ap-
preached step nearer realization
with q report to the Bureau of Air
Commerce Of satisfactory tests of an
automobile engine for aircraft.
Because of its lower cost, the bu-
feau has been interested in adapt
ing automobile engines to the small,
medium-priced planes with which it
Is now experimenting. In order to
get exact data on the practicability
Of the project, an aeronauticS school
was asked to make exhaustive tests.

and run for 800 hours in the open
under varying weather conditions and
ut various speeds.
According to the report on this
test, the engine functioned perfectly
except for one minor break in a tim
ing gear and the belt drive gave
only per cent slippage. Several
kinds Of gasoline were tried, ordi-
nary automobile gasoline being used
after the first l44 hours. The re-
port said it proved to be equal in
performance to two grades of avia-
ton gasoline and gave no trouble
whatsoever.
The primary advantage of the au-
tomobile engine was termed its econ
omy in upkeep and operation. The
most important disadvantage is the
heavy weight per horsepower gener-
ated. about to 5i2 pounds compared
with about pounds per horsepower
for the air-cooled aviation engine.
Some sacrifice in performance will
have TO be made, but it is felt that
price is a decided factor in increas-
ing the number of privately owned
aircraft" the report declared. "A
low-priced airplane requires a low

If it can be proved that there is
real market for a low-priced air.
plane, the automobile manufacturers
might be interested in tightening their
engines, or the aircraft engine manu-
facturers could produce in sufficient
quantities so as to reduce their prices.

HOOVER GIVES
GOOD ADVICE
To STUDENTS
Nine Point Program For Social
Security Outlined To Stanford
Graduating Class

STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Cal,
June II. W.P)-Herbert Hoover, for
mer President Of the United States,
offered the youth OF America to-
day nine-point plan of social Sc
curities as a formula for lifting
the nation from depression.
Interlarding his remarks to the
graduating class of his Alma Mater,
Stanford university, with criticisms
of the policies of the administra-
ton that succeeded his, Hoover
stressed the place of orderly lib
erty" and individual initiative in
any program for restoring the ma
ton to prosperity.
Particularly did he point out that
sudden inspiration of panaceaS"
would not accomplish universal So
cial security.
Certain constants" must be OBJ
served, he said. These he named
as "sanctity OF contracts which are
not unconscionable, the stability of
currency and credit, the mainten-
ance of legitimate competition,
government by specific laws, not
by uncertainties of administrative
fiat"
In his nine-point plan, he named
the following:
q. Individual decentralization
of men to worship. to think, to
speak, to direct their energies, to
develop their own talents, and to
be rewarded for their effort"
2. The economy of plenty, not of
scarcity-the capacity to produce
plenty of goods and services.
3. Self-government. There nev-
er has been nor never will be free
dom when the powers of govern
ment are lodged in a man or a
group Of men," he said.
4. Free initiative and free enter
prise.
5. Stabilizing of the economic
system to mitigate the effects of
war, booms and depressions.
6. Strengthening of individual
security beyond relief work.
7. Upbuilding the minority who
lag to the economic security of the
majority, eliminating sweated and
child labor, marginal farmers,
slums, industrial conflicts, etc.
8. Wider spread property owner
ship.
9. Greater individual security
through removing the fear of ruin,
fear of poverty, fear of old age and
dislocation.
These are the standards and
tests which may be applied to every
social proposal made to you" the
former President said

MANY OUTSTANDING MEASURES ARE

SACRAMENTO, Calf, June II.
WP) - Outstanding measures ap-
proved by the 51st California le-
gislature included the following:
The $376,656,299 budget bill for
handling state governmental ex-
penses for 1935-37. 1t includes $24,-
100000 for unemployment relief
for the first half of the biennium.

k|DNAPERS To
BE TRIED BY
j. :. COURT.

TACOMA, Wash, June II. UP)-
Government prosecutors to d a'y
planned a speedy trial and pun
ishment for the kidnapers of nine
year-old George Weyerhaeuser of
Tacoma.
The case will be presented to fed
eral grand jury Wednesday when
Harmon and Margaret Valley, now
in custody, and William Grant,
alias Mahan, a fugitive, will be
charged with violating the Lind
bergh law and with using the mails
to defraud and extort.
Immediately after the jury fin
ishes its work and returns the eX-
pected indictments, probably by
Saturday, the prosecuting forces
will go before Federal Judge G. c.
Cushman and ask that a date for
an immediate trial be set.
The procedure confirmed the
previous United Press report that
the kidnapers would be prosecuted
under the federal laws, which un-
der the circumstances make life
imprisonment the most severe pen
atty that can be imposed. The
Lindbergh law provides for death
only in case the kidnapped victim
was harmed. George was not.
Although the Washington state
kidnapping law permits death SEN
tences under any circumstances
state and county authorities indi-
Gated that lack of funds and crowd
ed court dockets prompted them
to turn the case over to the gov
ernment.
The Valleys were imprisoned at
the new county Jail at Olympia
pending trial, while search was be-
ing made throughout the north
west and particularly III Montana
for Mahan.
A fourth person may be named
in the indictments, as complaints
sworn to by department of justice
agents named a John Doe" as
suspect.

END COMES AT MIDNIGHT
BY GEORGE E. HELMER
United Press Staff CORRESPONDENT


SACRAMENTO, June 17.-Cali-
fornias 51st legislature adjourned
early today, ending the longest and
one of the widest sessions in the
history of the state
Members left the legislative
chambers with the belief they had
failed to provide enough revenue to
meet all state expenses during the
l935-37 biennium, and would have
TO be called back into special ses..
sion next January or February. At
the expected special session, they
must devise means of raising mon
ey to continue unemployment re-
| lief during the second half of the
period, and possibly vote additional
taxes to make up for reductions in
estimated income.
Final adjournment was reached
at 1901 a. m, when Speaker Ed
ward Craig of the assembly pound
ed his gavel and brought the extra
ordinary session to a close. A few
minutes earlier Gov. Frank F. Mer-
riam had spoken to the legislators,
expressing appreciation for their
efforts in behalf of the citizens of
! California.
"I don't know that I ever saw
legislature adjourn amidst the plau-
dts of the people," he said, "and
I suspect that this time, as in the
past, we will have reports that this
was the most worthless legislature
| in the history of the state"
Epics and administration support
ers forgot their chickering's, insults.
| verbal battles and near fist fights
as they applauded the governor
and wished each other luck.
Vote Heavy Taxes
Weary OF the long 6-hour-a-day
grind, which lasted 161 calendar
days and was climaxed by day and
night meetings Saturday and Sun
day, the legislators streamed out
of the capitol within few minutes
after adjournment. Most of them
left Sacramento today.
During their session-most of the
work was accomplished in the clos
ing few weeks after the constitu-
tional adjournment date May 22-
they voted the heaviest volume of
taxes ever levied on Californians,
to raise enough money to meet the
highest budget in history, $376,-
656 299.
Included in this budget was S24,-
100000 for unemployment relief for
the 1885 fiscal year. Another
$24,000,000 probably will be needed

LARGE CROWD
SEES EXHIBIT
At SAN DIEGO
Valleys Showing Draws Record
Number OF Visitors After
Dedication Yesterday

Imperial Valley may well be
proud of its share in the wonderful
exhibit housed in the palace OF
water and power at the San Di-
ego exposition as many rank it sec
ond only to the Ford building, de-
clares B. A. Harrigan, agricultural
commissioner, who attended dedi-
cation of the, building yesterday.
Between 25,000 and 10000 people
entered the building during the
day and traffic throl1yh it was so
great that the valley delegates were
busy all day directing it from both
entrances. Harrigan said that he
heard many enthusiastic COM
ments as ne mingled with the
crowd and that every valley resi-
dent should see the entry.
The dedication ceremony was
particularly impressive, taking place
at p. m. From five beautifully
sculptured cascades on the north ia
cade streams of water poured forth
at signal given by William P.
Whitsett, president of the Southern
California Metropolitan Water dis
trict.
Frank G. Belcher, exposition
president, handed the keys to H.
A. Van Norman, chief engineer and
general manager who accepted
them, telling the Importance of the
Colorado river acqueduct to the
cities of the southland.
There were some 1900 present for
the dedication and the building as
soon as opened was crowded all day.
Lectures Given
A lecture is given by concealed
loudSpeakerS which tells the story
of water development from Mono
lake to the Mexican border. AS
each part Of the water and power
development is mentioned lights on
the huge diorama of the combined
water development illuminate that
particular feature.
At night cascades are lighted,
projectors inside each cascade
changing the lights continually by
vacuum tube control.
Harrigan says that the valleys
miniature farm and the samples of
crops displayed attracted consider
able attention as well as the water
and power development from Boul-
der dam and the All-American
canal.
Art Sinclair and Jess Worley will
represent the valley at the exhibit
all summer.
Members of the board of super
visors saw the exhibit Saturday and
expressed themselves as being
greatly pleased.
Harrigan also says that much
interest is being shown in Imperial
Valleys day, June %, and that ev-
erywhere he heard talk about the
program and the cantaloupes which
are to be distributed.
Imperial Valley will put on a
good amateur show or none at all,
states Harrigan, since SO much is
being expected from this district
and amateur talent from other dis
tricts has not been too successful.
