WILL START
PROGRAM To
HELP YOUTHS
Imperial County To Be In
cluded In Projects Pro-
posed By Government.

-Four thousand youths of San
Bernardino, Riverside, and Imperial
counties will benefit in a program
advanced by the National Youth
Administration, officials of the Dis
trict WPA were informed today by
Sigurd B. Nylander, assistant to
the state director in charge of the
National Youth Administration for
California. Nylander is making a
canvass of all California districts to
determine public attitude toward a
youth movement to supplement the
WPA program. An extended con-
ference with Director Ralph B
Smith and his staff was conducted
yesterday.
Estimates are that there are
approximately $4,000 young men
and women in the state between
the ages of 16 and 25 years who are
in need of aid" Nylander said. 1T
is proposed to accept youth projects
sponsored by communities, counties,
schools, and political subdivisions
Cash benefits and service benefits
are proposed"
Opinion of WPA supervisors of
the district was that separate youth
projects would be preferable to
putting youth groups directly into
present WPA projects. This atti-
tude was found also in other dis
tricts, Nylander admitted.
Youths seeking cash benefits
must be from families on relief, il
was explained. They will be per-
mitted 40 hours a month, or one
third of the present adult sched-
ule, and will be paid the unskilleG
wage, which would amount to SIC q
month 1t is expected that this
limitation of hours will encourage
private, supplemental employment.
Wide Range Of Activities
Imperial county has 253 youths
between the ages Of 16 and 18 years
and 235 between IS and 25 years
Nylander estimates
"A wide range of activities will
De suggested 10 sponsors, DuC eacn
must involve some definite COM
munity benefit" Nylander said
Sports, games, arts and crafts, mus
ical activities, vocational counseling
special day and seasonal events
were suggested as general headings
for the development of leaders. I'm
perial county, it was suggested
might well sponsor educational anc
agricultural projects for youth
groups.
Primary purpose, it was said, is the
occupation of youthful leisure time
to give the boy and girl without
present opportunities, a chance tc
be trained as useful citizens, and
as far as possible, to engage in the
activities in which they expect as
adults to carry on.

RESOLUTION TO GUST RADICALS
CAUSES FIGHT AT LABOR PARLEY
Liberals" In San Diego Convention Bitterly Oppose
Effort To Purge Unions Of Communist Members

SAN DIEGO, Sept. ID. U.P) - A
bitter fight broke out on the floor
of the State Federation of Labor
convention today over a resolution
designed to purge local unions of
Communists.
The storm, first of the conven-
tion, broke when Robert L. Ennis,
Federated Trades Council, Sacra-
mento, introduced the proposal to
give each local union the authority
to eXpel members with "Commun-
istic leanings.'
Opponents construed the measure
as a direct attack on liberals"
First to leap to his feet was Carl
Tillman of the Sailors Union of the
Pacific, declaring that the liberal
elements were chiefly responsible
for what progress the union move
ment has made since the San Fran
cisco general strike of last year.
Tillman attacked the resolution on

Adds ABABA Sept. 18-UP)-
Ethiopia may accept the proposals
made by the League of Nations
Committee of five for settlement of
the country's dispute with Italy, 1t
was intimated today.
Possibility of acceptance was dis
cussed officially with the United
Press after a conference at the
palace at which Emperor Halle
Selassie I consulted with his for
eign advisors.
The reference to the committee
of fives proposals disclosed that
their substance apparently had been
communicated informally to Adds
Ababa, although they had not yet
been made public formally at Gen.
eva.
1t was assumed, the United Press
was informed, that the Ethiopian
delegation at Geneva had accepted
the suggested settlement since it
conformed to the proposals put
forward at the abortive three pow
er conference at Paris to which the
Ethiopian delegation was instructed
to agree.

SAYS NCADOO
FORCED HIM
FROM OFFICE
Ousted Referee In Bankrupt
cy Charges Double Cross
By States Senator.

LOS ANGELES, Sept. 18. UP
Claims of a federal bankruptcy
referee that he was discharged be-
cause of the activities of Senator
William Gibbs McAdoo stirred local
political ranks today.
Rupert B. Turnbull, whose en-
forced retirement after six years
service was voted by fivel ocal fed
eral judges, accused McAdoo OF
violating confidence" in releasing
report in which Turnbull at
tackled the Fitness" of former Su-
perior Court Judge Leon r. Yank-
Wich to hold a position on the fed
eral bench. YankWich was install
ed as a federal jurist two weeks
ago.
Turnbull father of Loretta Turn
bull, noted woman motorboat speed
pilot, said he had submitted the re-
port with the understanding it was
solely for President RooSevelt'S S
guidance, before making the U. S.
district court appointment. Col.
William H. Neblett, McAdoo's law
partner, however, secured a copy OF
the report and gave it to Judge
Yankwich, Turnbull declared.
Colonel Neblett could only have
obtained it from Senator McAdoo, y
Turnbull said. "I considered this a
violation of a confidential act, and
ascribe it to the fact that I incur
red the enmity of Senator McAdoo
and Neblett in the senatorial In
vestigation of bankruptcy proceed
ings two years ago."
Yankwich denied that the report
reached him through Neblett Oh
McAdoo, insisting that it was sent
him by Attorney General Homer Is
Cummings office. Neither he nt1
Turnbull would disclose the natu
of the report.
Judge Yankwich denied he had
any hand in his critics dismissal
He said he did not vote with the
other judges when the matter OF
the reappointment came up.
The voting jurists said no ques-
ton was raised as to Turnbull's
honesty of efficiency in handling
bankruptcy cases but that "othe1
matters" guided them in voting
his retirement.
McAdoo declined to comment. He
was busy with his 26-year-old bride
the former Doris Cross, "house
cleaning" in the senator's Berkeley
Square home.
Hugh L. Dixon, assistant U. S
attorney, was regarded as Turn
bulls likely successor.

TURKEY HAS
PRIVATE WAR
WITH POLICE

A stern battle is being Waged
here daily to determine who shall
be king of State street and the
principals in this struggle for SUI
premacy are the black Maria be-
longing to the police department
and a strutting turkey gobbler
whose domain extends from Seventh
to Eighth on State.
Every morning when officer Ben
Cox pilots his patrol wagon along
State street he is met by a belliger-
ent gobbler who disputes the prog
ress of the car as it passes along.
Strutting balefully out into the
middle of the street as soon as the
hated intruder is seen approaching,
the gobbler has even attacked the
wagon and threatens someday to
climb right up onto the drivers
seat and have it out, once and for
all with the operator.
Officer Cox said this morning
that this struggle has been going
on for some weeks past, ever since
his adversary was able to strut out
from a group of admiring hens and
offer to do battle with the enemy.
Orders have been issued to the ef-
feet that the patrol should use an
other street for the time being until
the irate gobbler forgets his grudge
and quiets down sufficiently to
prevent a major catastrophe.

Halle Selassie Consults With
Ministers And Foreign
Advisory Staff.

GENEVA, Sept. 18. W.P)-Baron
Pompeo Aloisi decided today to
leave the peace discussion at Gen.
eva and go to Rome and give Pre-
mier Benito Mussolini personally
the councils ultimate offer which
constitutes the only faint hope held
here of delaying or aVerting war in
Ethiopia.
Aloisi will take with him the test
OF proposals drafted by the coun-
cils conciliation committee of five,
giving Italy great economic and
territorial concessions.
Italian sources here have indicat-
ed rather plainly they do not eX-
pect the proposals to be accepted,
although Italy is willing to con
slider them.
Salvador de Madariaga of Spain,
chairman of the committee, ar
ranged to visit Aloisi and Tecla
) HaWariat, Ethiopian representative,
tonight, present the proposals and
discuss them.
Premier Pierre Laval of France
was understood to have urged
AloiSi strongly not only to outline
the proposed compromise to Musso-
lini by telephone, but to visit him
personally and convey the views OF
the French, British and others.
The fact that Aloisi agreed to
pursue the suggested course was re-
garded as a slightly encouraging
sign. All delegations, however, still
doubted Italy's acceptance of the
proposals, even as basis of nego-
tiation, although the possibility was
envisaged that Mussolini might
agree to consider them pending the
end of the rainy season in Ethiopia
Laval planned to leave for Paris
XFriday to preside over a meeting of
The French cabinet Saturday.

VITAL ORGANS

CHICAGO, Sept. 18. U.H - A
group of physicians bent over an

Adams is an exact opposite to
