Brilliant Function
At Cuban Embassy.

The Ambassador Of Cuba, Senor DR..
Guillermo Patterson, was host to a
large and brilliant company yesterday,
when he gave reception in celebra-
tion Of the sixty-sixth anniversary of
Cuba's first battle for independence.
The island republic fought its first
battle at Yara October 10, 1868, and
the many friends of that country in
official, diplomatic and residential
circles drank to the continued peace
and prosperity of Cuba. The embassy,
q reproduction of the villa in Italy
of Sonora de Cespedes, wife Of the
Minister of Cuba, under whose regime
the embassy was built, was gay
with quantities of deep rich red roses,
matching the rich red carpet which
softens the graceful marble stairway.
In the drawing room, where the AM
bassador received, low and generous
mound of the roses occupied almost
the entire top of the table in the CEN
ter of the room and on the table in
the dining room taller mound of
roses formed the centerpiece. Tall
red candles fianked the roses and as
far as possible the dainties carried out
the national colors Of red, white and
blue.
The Ambassador was assisted in re-
ceiving by his daughters, Senorita
Zoe Patterson and Senorita Olga Pat
terson, who alternated in receiving
and assisting in the dining room, now
and then taking time to enjoy dance
in the ball room, where a marimba
orchestra played enticing music
throughout the afternoon. Punch and
more masculine liquid refreshments
were served in the conservatory, where
the long windows opening to the west
gave glimpses of the "mackerel' sky
tinged with rose color as the sun gave
way to twilight.

NAz| LEADERS
CLAIM UNITY

BERLIN, Jan. 4 U.P)-Nazi lead
ers announced themselves as united
behind Adolf Hitler today, and
Germany as united behind them,
after strange meeting about which
the public knew nothing.
There. was some uncertainty still
as to its purpose, but it concerned
itself with a denial of reports. of an
impending purge, with special en-
phasiS on the army as supporting
Hitler.
1t seemed that the meeting was
intended partly to show unity in
anticipation of the Saar plebiscite
Jan. 13.
Rudolph Hess, deputy leader OF
the. Nazi party, opened the meeting,
which was held at the state opera
house. Its purpose, he said first
was to disprove lies intended to in
fluenoe the Saar voting; secondly,
to assure Hitler of the Nazi party's
loyalty. asts
Little of Hitler's speech was made
public. He, too, spoke of the "lies"
published abroad by enemies. But,
he said, Germany's enemies would
be disappointed because they are
not facing us alone but the whole
German nation, united against them
in defense of its honor, peace and
vital interests"

An accounting of services render
ed Imperial county veterans during
the past year is contained in re-
port compiled by Charles Nice, vet

of supervisors. This work has been
done in conjunction with that of
the county INDECENT commission

EPIC FORCES
LINING Up IN
LEGISLATURE
Echoes Of Last Campaign Are
Expected To Be Heard When
Session Opens Next Week

SACRAMENTO, Calf, Jan. A.
Reverberations of the heated 1894
gubernatorial campaign may be
heard in the capitol next week
when the 51st legislature convenes
for one of the most important ses-
sions in California's history.
Strength of the Epic forces, or
ganized by Upton Sinclair, will not
be known definitely until a vote is
called on some controversial mat
ter in which Epic is interested.
Epic talk has subsidized consider
ably since the November 6 election,
when Socialist-Democrat Sinclair
was defeated by Republican Frank
Finley Merriam. But it was almost
certain to spring up again, particu-
larly when efforts are made in the
legislature to adopt the doctrine of
production for use,' one of the out
standing planks in Sinclair's pro-
gram.
There was little chance of "Epi-
crats"-the name Republicans gave
Epic -sympathizing DemocratS-ac-
complishing any of Sinclair's aims
in the state senate, overwhelming
ly Republican and conservative. In
the assembly, however, Republicans
barely managed to retain their ma
jority by a slim margin of AZ to 38,
and it was there that Epic pressure
was expected to center.
See Some Merit
Influence of the Epic plan was
seen in pre-legislature comment on
such subjects as production for use
subsistence part-time farming, ano
state aid for cooperative associa-
tions.
Several legislators who termed
the Epic plan menace" admitted
that subsistence farming and state
aid for cooperatives may be the an
swer to the unemployment ques-
ton.
Potential strength of the Epic
Democrats may be determined SUM-
day, the day before the legislature
convenes. Senator-elect Culbert l.
Olson of Los Angeles, Epic Supporte,
and chairman of the Democratic
state central committee, called a
caucus of the 38 Democrats in the
assembly.
The Caucus Sunday was designed
to consider the lower house speak
ership and other organization ques-
tions.
Republican assemblymen were ex-
pected to unite almost unanimously
on one candidate for the speaker
ship, in order to take no chances
on having that important position
seized by Democrats. Edward Craig
of Orange county appeared to have
the edge in the race.

DIR. TOWNSEND EXPLAINS PENSION
PLAN TO CONGRESSIONAL GROUP

Los Angeles, announced he would
circulate a petition seeking 218 sig
natures necessary to force the bill
embodying Townsend's "old age re-
volving pension plan" to a vote in
the house. He had been informed,
he said, that the administration
opposes 1t.
Townsend estimated there are
100000 persons over go who could
use 5000 a month. The annual
$4,000, 100000 bill the government
would have to foot would be fin
anced through tax on all COM
mercial transactions.
"The depression was caused by
only one thing, failure of the coun-
try's purchasing power" Townsend
told the congressman. 1.-THE solu-
ton is simple.
"Give all aged a pension and the
task of spending it every month
before they could receive more.
Purchasing power will be restored.
Business will boom.
Admits Higher Prices
Prices will go up, of course. But
what's the difference? Everyone
will have plenty of money. There
will be no more poverty. Everyone
will be working"
His plan would stamp out crime,
he claimed, because almost all
crime comes from poverty" Boot
leggers could not operate under
this system, he asserted, because all
businesses would be licensed by
the government as a means of col
lecting the sales tax revenue.
Townsend estimated "the govern
ment spent $4,000, 100000 on char
ity, crime and alphabetical soup"
during the last six months. His
plan, he said, "could have achieved
the same result on $1,000, ,000, ,O00."
Skeptical congressman pointed
out Townsend's new tax would add
to the tax burden. With the ma
tional income figure at aboXe $53,-
000,000,000 in the boom days of
1929, they said, the levy would have
to be about 20 per cent.
you're right, but who would
care about that?" Townsend an
swered. "If you weren't working
now and not earning a dime,
would you abject to paying the
government 20 per cent of what
you earn under my plan? Or would
you be against paying the tax if
you knew you'd be sure of receiv-
ing 5000 pension every month
when you passed the 60-year
mark?"
Townsend claimed to have "a pc
tition of $4,000 100000 Names"
ready to present to congress in be-
half of the system.

the American people that excessive

Escapes Jail

PERU, Ind, Jan. 4. W.P)-Ralph
Commings escaped from the Miami
county Jail today, walking bomb
armed with 2is ounces of nitrogly-
cerine and determined to blow up
himself and his captors in case he
is caught.
Cummings, 29-year-old robbery
suspect, was described by Sheriff
George Burke as "a desperate
character and he would not hesl-
tate to use the explosive"
The sheriff offered a $100 re-
ward for the capture of Cummings,
"dead or alive.''
The prisoner escaped by picking
the locks on three doors that lay
between him and freedom, accord
ing to the sheriff.
The sheriff said the nitro-gly-
cerine and a saw to aid him in his
escape were smuggled to Cummings
from the outside.
