Social Security
Measure Will Be
GiDen Preference

WASHINGTON, March % W.R)--
House administration leaders put
on pressure to obtain action on the
social security bill next week as a
drive opened to force consideration
of the radical Lundeen unemploy-
ment measure.
Pressure was applied personally
by Speaker Joseph w. Byrns short
" after Rep. Ernest Lundeen, F. L..
Mimi, filed petition seeking to
force action on his bill which
would pay $40 weekly benefits to
all unemployed.
Byrns appealed to the ways and
means committee to halt quibbling
over tax features of the security
bill and report 1t to the house
Monday.
At the same time the house
banking committee emily
brought hearings on the far reach
ing bank revision bill to an end.
Executive sessions will start imne-
diately in the hope that the meas
ure can be ready for action as
soon as the security bill Is put
through.
The leadership's drive for speed
was an apparent attempt to have
the house act on all administration
"must" legislation by the end OF
April so that the congressional ses-
sion can be wound up in June at
the latest.
The President has ordered the
security and banking bills placed
on the must" list. He has In
formed members OF the banking
committee that he Is opposed to
splitting up the banking bill into
separate measures.
This bill gives the federal gov
er1ment broad new control over
currency through the federal re-
serve system and also widens pow
ers Of the federal deposit insurance
corporation.

Valley School
Elections To Be
Held TOMORROW

School board elections take place
tomorrow for both high school and
elementary school boards through.
out the county and state.
In Imperial county the contests
range from those in which there Is
no opposition, as in Ell Centre, to
those in the rural school districts
where in some cases, 11>to 13 can
didates are contesting.
Mrs. j. M. Adalr is running, un-
opposed, to succeed herself on the
elementary school board, and j. E.
Brock is also running to succeed
himself on the Central Union high
school board, no other candidate
having filed against him.
For the first time in history, the
polling place for the elementary
school and high school elections is
the same, Central high school. For
merly, voters have had to go to
Wilson to vote for the elementary
school candidates and then to the
high school to make their choice
for the high school board. In the
rural districts voters cast their pre-
ferences for both the elementary
and high school candidates at the
same place.
In the rural districts the respect
i've school boards are free to make
their own regulations regarding
hours of voting, the state law stat
ing that the polls must not open
before 9 a. m. nor close before p.
m. and that they must be open for
four hours.
In districts where the attendance
is over 500, the polls must be open
from a. M. to p. m. for the eler
mentary schools. :.
In cases where no candidate has
filed in opposition, names may be
written in If cVe voters choose. G.
B. Collins, county superintendent,
states that In the county elections
have occurred when the candidate
and his friends thought there was
little need to vote since there was
no opposition and where the candi-
date was defeated by q write-in
campaign. In one case, one hour
before the polls closed, 40 voters
arrived, wrote In the name of an
other candidate, and won the elec-
ton for him.

Demand LaGuardia
Resign As Mayor

NEW YORK, March %. W.H-
Growing resentment against high
municipal taxes today brought a
demand that Mayor Fiorello H. La
Guardia resign. Citizens threaten
ed to picket city hall.
A passive sales tax strike, tacitly
admitted by the administration,
was blamed on disclosures that $50
relief bureau employees had re-
ceived pay increases aggregating
100000 annually. Many of these
were revoked by the mayor, but
not until the public had protested.
From Brooklyn came rumblings
of acute discomfort in tentative
plans for a giant tax protest in a
mass meeting in Madison Square
Garden. Particularly assailed were
the increased water tax and the 10
per cent penalty on property levies
in arrears.
Organized groups of taxpayers
led the fight.

Hauptmann is being tried charges
