FERA FUNDS
RUNNING LOW

WASHINGTON, March 30. W.R)-
The Federal Emergency Relief AS
sociation had only $4000,000 left
to feed and clothe the nations TO-
100000 needy after Monday. Off
cials said today.
The money would meet usual re-
lief expenses for less than day.
Officials said, however, mo one
will be forced to go hungry because
of this temporary shortage"
April allotments cannot be made,
they explained, until their fund is
replenished from the $48,000,000
which remains out of the $310,000,-
900 PWA money impounded last
December 30 by President Roose-
velt to meet relief needs.
FERA's new $3.50, 100000 fund for
direct relief is tied up in the ad-
ministration's $4,880,000000 reem-
ployment bill still pending before
congress.
Officials said there would be mo
suffering in the states" because
a majority of states still have funds
left from their March allotments.
FERA exhausted its own funds
on February 10. Since that time,
PWA has loaned Relief Admins
traitor Harry l.. Hopkins $272, ,000,-
600.

.LA|MS0N WILL
TAKE ESTAND|N
OWN DEFENSE

SAN JOSE, Calf, March 30. U.P)
The second Lamson trial will
continue at least two more weeks
in the opinion of most observers to-
day after six weeks of court seS-
Sions.
The next important witness the
defense will present will be David
A. Lamson himself, dark-haired ad-
vertising man accused of Staying
his wife, Stanford Y. w. C. A. Sec
retary, in their pretty Spanish bum
galow on the college campus.
The defense is depending ON
Lamson, DR.. E. O. Heinrich and
Mrs. Sara Kelley Simonds to upset
the murder charges the state used
four weeks and 25 witnesses in de-
veloping, those close to trial activ-
tiles said.
Mrs. Simonds. the Glove inter-
est' of the state IS charges, spent
parts of two days on the stand to
deny that she loved Lamson or he
loved her and to say that their re-
lationShip was "strictly business. "
Even the poem she sent him was
intended for his critical perusal ana
not as a "thank you" note for
flowers, she said.
Heinrich will return to the stand
when the trial resumes Monday.
Most prominent criminologiSt on
the Pacific coast, the Berkeley sci
enlist will testify that Mrs. Lamson
died from the effects of an acci-
dental fall. Already he has called
the state IS blood stains varnish. "
There will be other witnesses to
sustain the Simonds and Heinrich
testimony but Lamson himself will
he the one on whom the defense
will depend to complete its case.
He testified at the former trial
in which he was convicted and
sentenced to Gle. The state SUI
preme court spared his life and
gave him this second chance at
freedom.

The La Placentia's S sailing was the
ship owners first move to carry out
their threats to move tankers with

was believed bound either for San

Strikers were angry, but no vio-

apparently were waiting to see whe-
ther attempts would be made to
move other tankers tied up at the

-Four other Union Oil tankers
were among the vessels strike-bound

ton of the Broadway of Ameri-
cao association for Ell Centro were
pushed at a meeting of the Asso-
ciated Chambers of Commerce in

to Imperial Valley for the wonder
full progress noted here in develop
ing a productive area from the
desert wastes. He stated he had
first visited the valley in 1918 and
was greatly impressed by the prog
ress made here since that time.
A chicken dinner was served un-
der the auspices Of the ladies of
the Methodist church. Students of
the Imperial high school orchestra
rendered several musical selections.

lin solos accompanied at the pi-
ano by Miss Green.

BY GEORGE L. HELMER
United Press Staff Correspondent

SACRAMENTO March 30.-Ihe
California legislature ended the
fourth week of it's spring session
today with slim list of accom-
plishments to show for long hours
of discussion and oratory.
With the close of each week, it
appeared that intensive work on
important bills would start the next
but this legislature has followed in
the footsteps of others by poStpon-
ing action on controversial meas
ureS until forced into motion by
the proximity of summer.
Observers predicted at least two
more weeks Of issue dodging. then
a month or so of day, night and
weekend sessions which will be
necessary to clear up the mass of
legislation which thus far has hard
ly been touched.
Neither house accomplished much
during the fourth week, most of
The activity. as usual, being in COM
mittees. And even there, a gen.
cral habit of "putting off until

portant bills from being sent to the
floor.
In the upper house, Senator Cul-
bert Dixon IS bill to provide ex-
tensive state aid for self-help CO.
operatives appeared on the file for
three days in a row but was skip
ped each day. 1t may be consid-
cred next week.
The senate did dispose of two
argumentative measures-the short
train bill and Senator Leonard Di-
fani's proposal to repeal an act
iiecessitating the calling of alter
nate cement and asphalt bids on
highway projects.
The assembly passed bill to tax
foreign oils used in the manufact-
ure of butter substitutes, and turned
down proposal to control float
ing sardine reduction plants. 9th
erwise, it devoted most of its time
to routine and squabbles.

Data On Lobbying
Investigation To
Be GiUen Senate

SACRAMENTO, March 30. U.p)-
Testimony submitted at a senate
committees investigation of lobby
ing activities was prepared in
transcript today for submission to
the upper house.
The report will include all evil
dence obtained when Senators
sought to determine the truth about
reports that Nathan j. Elliott. Los
Angeles independent truck repre-
sentative, attempted $4,000
"shakedown" of railroads and GER
tificated carriers to finance a lob
by in the legislature.
Completion of the senatorial in
quiry marked the start of an as
sembly committees investigation of
the same subject. Elliott was no
titled to appear before the second
group Monday afternoon.
Witnesses testified Elliott tried
to obtain $4,000 to finance a lobby
in support of bill which proposes
to place truck lines under juriS-
diction of the state railroad COM
mission, and threatened to oppose
the measure if he did not receive
the money. He also was said To
have boasted control of the SOUTH
ern assembly delegation and power
to swing any bill If he had finan-
cial support.
Elliott denied all allegations and
insisted the investigation was sole
ly for the purpose of promoting the
bill. which he opposed.
Committee members admitted
little could be done about it" and
they had no idea what the senate
would do with the report to be

BELGIAN KING
COMES To AID
Of FPREM|ER

BRUSSELS, Belgium, March 80
U.P)-Premier Paul Van iceland IS
new cabinet apparently clinched a
victory on currency devaluation in
parliament today after youthful
King Leopold was said to have in
tervened dramatically at the 18th
hour to end the governmental cris-
is.
The young premier, an admirer
of President Roosevelt IS "neW
deal' in America, had won vic
tory, 107 to Sd, in the chamber OF
deputies on his plan to devalue the
belga 25 per cent and thus permit
Belgium to take "leave of alb
sence' from the gold standard. The
crisis threatened serious repercus-
sions in the European gold bloc.
The senate failed to respond as
readily to the plan as had the
chamber of deputies. Observers
feared that the premier would fail
to win a vote of confidence in the
senate. ~
Then, it was said, the king step
ped in. He had no actual power
but his influence was believed part
ly responsible for rapid swing to
support of the cabinets plan.
The senate finance committee
voted a favorable report. The jul
dietary committee approved. Then
the Catholic bloc in the senate
voted 38 to 18, with eight absten-
sions, for the government. The lib
erals divided evenly. The Socialists
were unanimous for the cabinet.
Thus the senate prepared to give
the premier even stronger support
than the deputies.
