7 thirteen Veterans
In Lettuce Deal

Like the 13 original states. there
are 13 lettuce companies operating
today in Imperial Valley that
operated in the 1923-24 season, ac-
cording to figures supplied by the
agricultural commissioner office.
Some of these 13 are operating
under different names but the
firms have the same membership
as operated II years ago.
Since that time, 141 firms operat-
ing in the valley at that period or
later, have gone out of business
here, many others coming in to
take their places.
Of the company acreage in 1928
"a, which was 18,777 acres, the 13
firms grew 4729 acres; in the 1884
35 acreage, 6.726 of the 1925 COM
pany acres are operated by these
same 13 who have maintained their
financial existence despite all the
VicissitudeS of the years.

When DR.. Condor testifieS, he
will be subject to a pounding cross
examination by defense counsel.
Many wondered if he would be un-
able to stand the type of cross
examination he is certain to receive.
When DR.. Condor asked "John -
to identify two large pins he held
in his hand, the extortioner is sup
posed to have said, eyes, those are
the pins that fastened down the
blankets in the crib,' and then to
have gone on to describe minute de-
tails of the nursery from which
the child was stolen.
If the prosecution s hopes are
realized therefore, and if DR.. Con-
don identifies Hauptmann as the
man with whom he conducted the
melodramatic negotiations in the
Bronx cemetery, then Hauptmann,
by such evidence, will be linked di-
rectly to the Hopewell scene.

HOPKINS JOBS
SCHEDULEFAR
BEHIND GOAL
international News serHice

Driving down the home stretch
with the relief deadline only a
week away, Work Relief officials
today faced the task of Great
ing jobs at the rate of 80,911 a
day to provide employment for
the 3,500,000 employable heads Of
families by November 80. >.
The 4,000-million-dollar pro:-
gram, tagging far behind sched-
ule, was 1,132,758 jobs short
when the last two weeks of the
campaign began November II.
With almost one-third of the
1000 millions appropriated by.
Congress at his disposal, WPA
Administrator Hopkins found his
program tagging in almost every
State, and particularly in Is
where the relief load has been
heaviest.
California. which had 189, 9,7S4
families on relief in May when
the Work Relief program was
launched, had provided only 79,-
643 jobs. :.
NEW 4OTK, WHICH naQ 40I ,1oS
families on the May relief rolls,
has provided 314,483 jobs, more
than 100000 short of it's quota, al
though the city, with 242,656 at
work, was almost up to its quota.
Illinois. which showed a pickup
of $4,000 in employment il the
week ending November 16, was,
still far short of it's mark, with
only 106,460 at work from 293,101
families on the relief rolls.
Massachusetts,, Ohio, Pennsyl-
vania, New Jersey, Missouri,
Texas, all big relief States, were
far behind their schedules.
