bAiAiO oAioO 1ihPCllal dR-
peared as white spot" for about
three years.
For a number of years Frank
Greene Of Bradstreet's, who has
edited the business conditions de-
partment of The Nations Business,
has carried on correspondence with
the FL Centre Chamber of Com
merce, to gather information ON
business and economic conditions
prevailing here.
For several years, after the de-
preston spread over most of the
United States, Imperial Valley con-
tinued to be shown as one of the
few white spots" of the country.
With the decline of agricultural
prices upon which Imperial VAL
ley so largely depends for its
prosperity, this area was delegated
to the classification of fair" bus
mess and so remained for about
three years. In that interval, how
ever, it never reached the "cuiet"
stage on the maps of the Nations
Business.
In their compilations, Nations
Business has always stated that
good business means good bus
mess, not as compared with last
year, not as compared with the
peak year of 1929, but good when
based on present prevailing con-
ditions'.
I'VE here in Ell Centre realize
that business here is decidedly on
the upgrade, said DR.. Sem Ba-
con, president of the chamber,
land has been for some time. Most
of the agricultural commodities in
which Imperial Valley is interested
have shown decided gains in price.
Butter fat, one of our best bare
meters, is higher than for many
years. and about two and one
half times as high as during the
low period. The price of alfalfa
hay results now i'm a very salts

despite the fact that the Blythe
highway is increasing competition.
According to Editor Frank Greene,
forecasts of volume of 1885 bus
mess were cheerful. Building rec
ords indicated a doubling of ex-
penditure, cotton exports and con-
sumption increased, wooden mills
ran full time, shoe production

accorded Imperial County as en-
joying very good business. At
no time during the economic crisis,
did the La Sale University statis-
tician ever declare Imperial Val

has each month been accorded the
designation of being very good"

the night with his former friends
in the White House is not the
first instance in which White
House entertaining has made first
class political news. The Hoover
administration contributed several
incidents which gave politicians
and their ladies ample opportun-
tiles for gossip.
Johnson Snubbed
Society editors noted midway in
the Hoover term that the. name
of Senator Hiram w. Johnson,
Republican, California, was miss
ing from the list of guests on the
occasion of a White House dinner
to the senate foreign relations
committee. johnson was a promi-
nent and powerful member of that
committee and, likewise, one OF
Mr.. Hoover's most bitterly out
spoken critics. The omission was
blamed on a White House clerks
error. 1t was not until the book
of the late Irwin w. Hoover, 40
years White House chief usher,
appeared two years ago that it
was known positively that john
sons name had been omitted in
tentionally.

CONGRESSIONAL POLL
SHOWS NO GAIN

WASHINGTON, Dec. 80. (U.P) -
First results of the Congressional
poll undertaken by supporters of d..
Francis f. Townsend's old age
pension plan today disclosed only
negligible changes in sentiment Tor
or against the plan.
The poll, conducted by the Town.
send weekly, organ of the pension
group, presented views of go repre-
sentatives on the controversial issue.
1t revealed 80 Congressman sup
porting the Townsend plan. How
ever, all but one of these 80 had re-
vealed himself a Townsend sup
porter by voting for McGoarty bin
in the last session of Congress.
The McGroarty bill, approved by
DIR. Townsend, drew So votes last
spring. First results of the poll con-
tanned the bulk of the members who
voted for that bill.
Returns I'm the Townsend survey
had been awaiting with interest by
Congressional observers because OF
the victory of Werner Main, Repu-
blican candidate who espoused
Townsendism in the third Michigan
Congressional district election last
week.

HOOVER SHUNS
POLITICS in
BANQUET TALK

LOS ANGELES, Dec. 80. UP)-
Former President Herbert Hoover
spoke whimsically Saturday night
of the old swimming hole and Sling
shot hunting on his native Iowa
farm in banquet address that
carefully avoided all mention of
politics
Only at the outset of his speech
before group of 500 former resi-
dents of Iowa, did the sage of
Palo Alto" refer to the current
national problems.
Explaining he would speak only
few minutes, he said he had
limited his address because if I
speak longer I might refer to some
things going on in the country
today and that might darken a
happy holiday"
Merriam Presents Him
He was presented to the audi
ence by Governor Frank F.. Merr-
lam, himself a native of the mid
western state. Former Secretary of
the Navy Curtis Wilbur was among
the noted guests.
Avoiding the barbed attacks on
the New Deal and Roosevelt poll
cies which have marked his recent
public appearances, the former
president said he preferred to
speak tonight on Iowa "as a youth
sees it,"
In glowing terms, the former
president spoke of Iowa's streams
and woods, the ice and snow, and
the mystery of growing crops.1
He told of boyish sleigh rides, of
frozen toes and fingers and OF
plunges in the old swimming hole.
Cracks Wise
mo doubt modern mothers COM
pei their youngsters to take bath
when they come home" he said
laughingly.
His flight into whimsy carried
back to the days when he trapped
rabbits, hunted pigeons and prairie
chickens with slingshot, and shared
sunfish and catfish on a penny
hook and line. Even boyish APP
petites were not overlooked as the
one time chief executive coptinu-
ed to reminisce.
A laugh greeted his disclosure
that one Democrat he knew ir
those days was stigmatized, al
though tolerated" when sober.

COP. LOOKS
AROUND FOR
CANDIDATES

WASHINGTON, Dec. 80. U.P)-
Eastern Republican leaders were
reported today to be looking for
a man to lead the "stop Borah"
movement at the Cleveland con-
vention which will nominate a G..
o. p. candidate for president.
Reports widely circulated in the
midwest and now echoing in the
capitol suggest that the eastern
choice may finally fall upon either
Senator Arthur H. Vandenberg of
Michigan, or Senator L. j. Dickin-
son of Iowa. Both senators told
the United Press they were not
aware Of it if their records were
scanned by eastern leaders in
search of a presidential nominee.
The tentative and wholly unof-
ficial presidential candidacy of
Senator William e. Borah was de-
veloped rapidly in the past fort
night. II is beginning to split
eastern Republican forces, notably
in New York where former Repub-
lican State Chairman w. Kings
land Macy has opened a campaign
To send Borah delegates to the
national convention.

In 1897.

PENSION OVER STRESSED
SAYS TOWNSENDITE

CHICAGO, Dec. 80. U.P)-ToWn-
sendism embraces a four purpose
philosophy with the widely-known
pension plan" at the bottom of the
list. Werner w. Main, Republican
elected to Congress on platform
that included the plans advocacy,
said in an address today.
Speaking on program sponsored
by followers of DR.. Francis E. Town.
send, the Michigan Congressman
elect charged that too little en-
phasis had been placed upon the
recovery, sterilization and the
vision" angles of Townsendism, too
much upon that phase would pro-
vide each person go years of age or
over with a 5000 monthly income
for life.
1.-The fundamental and primary
emphasis should have been placed
on the thought of recovery" he
added. Therefore ! am suggesting
that we use these letters, r. S. V. p
as the keynote of this speech, and
that the emphasis and Importance
of these symbols is in the following
order: Recovery, Sterilization,
Vision and Pension"
Imperial Valley press. (El Centro, Calif.) 1907-current, 1935-12-30

: Supporters of the Townsend plan
will dominate Congress after the
1896 elections and will put through
the plan of the thin, scholarly
Southern California physician, the
leader of the movement predicted
here.
If neither of the major parties
gives support to the plan in the
~. ing election, the Townsendites,
~ aid, are prepared to launch a
~. iparty.
Plans In Allegiance
y Light now our plans for third
party are in allegiance" he said.
"But we are compiling all the data
necessary to launch our party II
the other two won't give us what
we want"
Townsend refused to estimate the
numerical strength of the Townsend
clubs but one close to the doctor set
the figure at close to 100000 per-
sons.
The Long Beach doctor said there
are $500 clubs in the nation with
membership ranging from 100 to
$4,000. One hundred new clubs were
organized in Chicago within the
month, he said. The movement. he
asserted, is sweeping the midwest
and the east as steadily as it moved
through the Pacific coast states.
1--WE will have enough votes to
win over either of the Presidential
nominees of the two old established
parties" he said: "All we want to
know is the attitude of the nominees
of the regular parties.
Parties Against Plan
"At that both parties are against
us and the only way We'll win will
be by launching our party. And
We'll win, of that you may be sure.
Give us six months and We'll be
ready. We are organizing in every
Congressional district. In six
months we'll be in a position TO die
tate"
Townsend disclosed plans for an
intensive prediction campaign
during which he will make many
public appearances and radio adj
dresses. An effort will be made to
place a Townsend supporter in the
race in every Congressional district
in the nation. If the Townsendite
wins and he doesn't help the move
