MINISTER IN
CLASH WITH
PROSECUTOR
CONTINUED On Page 81

LOS ANGELES, Jan. U.p =
Charges that his office had been
burglarized and his private papers
and records stolen were hurled to-
day by the Rev. Gustav Briegleb,
politician minister, as a stormy
witness for District Attorney Fits
in the prosecutors battle against a
perjury indictment.
= "My office was burglarized about
q month ago and my papers stolen"
declared the frock-coated witness
when asked by special Prosecutor
CLYDE G. Shoemaker on cross
examination concerning a pulpit
address on the grand jury. -.
when I made that address one
of my assistants told me two steno-
graphic reporters were in the au-
dience and that one of them was
from your office, Mr.. Shoemaker"
said the minister. IF you have it
Id like to have copy"
Shoemaker replied he had no
CODY bu, he'd like to have it,"
Once in the heated cross exami-
nation by Shoemaker, the Rev.
Briegleh pointed a finger at the
special prosecutor and stormed:
II had to use every precaution in
dealing with your crowd, Mr.. Shoe
maker. You cited me for contempt
once because of my statements in
the pulpit that Mrs. Pantages
should be prosecuted just as the
same as any other person when she
ran down and killed japanese"
In the hearing, Fits and his sis
ter, Berthal Gregory, are seeking to
set aside the perjury indictments
against them on the ground that
the grand jury was "handpicked"
by Superior Judge Bowron to in
vestigate Fits.

shot and killed Richard M. Giles,
AZ, we'll known farmer living near

proposal was not favored as it was
held the location on Main street
would not be in the zone given over
for such enterprises. The council
was told that the sponsors of the
plan have looked the cNty over
thoroughly and have come to the
conclusion that this site Is the one
best suited for their purposes
After discussing the problem and
realizing the benefits this cannery
would bring to the city the council
voted in its favor and asked that an
application for permit to install
their apparatus on the Main street
site be presented by the sponsors
directly to the council and the
board would then take immediate
action on the same even though it
meant the calling of a special meet
ing for that purpose. Cal G.. Nous
seau, city clerk was further in
structed by the council to make in
quiries from the cities of Ell Monte
and Anaheim relative to the opera
s ton of canneries in those commun-
tiles.
Local agents of the sponsors as
sured the council that modern can
neries are operated with an absolute
minimum of annoyance to neigh
borhood property owners and that
from such point of view there could
be no objections to the use of the
desired site for the cannery.
Get Calexico Resolution
A resolution adopted by the CAL
exico city council on December 18
and signed by Isaac Schlatter, may
or, was read to the board and ord
cred filed. This resolution opposed
the enforcement of state liquor con-
troll regulations by local police
forces and was sent to the Ell Gen.
tro council and others in the coun-
ty. The local board after hearing
stage communication read, decided
to take no action on the question
until the state legislature has acted
in the matter.
An application for a dance hall
in the 500 block on Broadway pre-
sented by j. D. Stein was denied
by the board. The council voted to
sponsor a project calling for civic
recreational center and left the de-
tails to be worked out by the Am
erican Legion Auxiliary.
A letter was received from the
coordinating council against the
proposed change in the city ordi-
nance permitting places of amuse-
ment to remain open later than
midnight. The board was informed
by the city engineering department
that an inspector would arrive
within a day or two to inspect re-
pairs made on the rods broken on
the large water tank at the city
water works during the earthquake
of Monday morning, Several of
these rods were snapped by the
shake and have been welded but it
was felt that an expert inspection
of the two tanks would be in the
line of safety precautions.
Two ordinances were considered
by the board and after discussion
were passed to their second read
ing. The first prohibits minors
under the age of 10 years frequent
ing pool halls in the city and the
other is an amendment to an ex-
isting ordinance and extends the
closing hour of local places of
amusement from midnight to 2
O'Clock, a. m. Both will be again
considered by the council at a sub
sequent meeting.

-Royalists may attempt a coup

United Press staff Correspondent
WASHINGTON, Jan. 8 U.P)-The
new house spiked the guns of In
surgent blocs at the outset Of the
74th congress today by adopting a
rule designed to prevent action on
extreme legislation.
Adoption of the rule came swiftly
after the opening day organization
of house and senate and elevation
of veteran Rep. Joseph w. Byrns.
D.. Tenn, to the speakership of the
house.
Congress will meet in joint ses-
sion tomorrow to hear from Presi-
dent Roosevelt his program for re-
vising and extending the new deal.
Before there is any chance for
dissension to develop over this pro-
gram, Democratic leaders sought to
make sure that the house will tread
the administration path"
The new rule makes 1t necessary
for 218 members to sign petition
before a vote can be forced on bills
which committees refuse to report.
Only las signatures have been re-
quired.
Backers of 30-hour week bills and
extreme initiation measures conced-
ed this seemed to doom their
chances. The bonus, No. among
more than 240O bills introduced to-
day, is promised an early vote
despite the Presidents opposition.

puzzling over the question for a mo-
ment his face frightened, and he
recalled that the man had lacked
the index finger on his left hand
Larry grurted with satisfaction.
What kind of a car did he
drive?" he asked
Well, he came here with a La
Place sedan" said the manager.
Then about a week or 10 days
ago he came in with a new one
big 12-cylinder Frontenac, dark
blue with gold beading and blue
wire wheels
He stuck his head out of the lit
tie wicket in his office. where they
we're talking, and called a colored
attendant. Hey Hank! Come
here, will you?"
Hank came ove"; a tall. intelli-
gent looking Negro in tan
breeches and puttees, a blue shirt
open at the throat Larry immedi-
ately asked him about Mr.. Lewis's
big blue Frontenac: Had he ever
noticed anything unsual about it?
NOthin' cept that it was awful
heavy" said Hank.
All said Larry softly. How'd
you happen to notice that?"
Well said Henry, he brought
it in one night an told me to
change the oil, 50 l took it up to the
third floor and run it on the rack.
Stead Of havin' pits here we got
wooden racks, like" He gestured
with his hands to illustrate their
arrangement Of inclined parallel
rails. i run it up on there, and the
first upright on the right-hand rail
broke, Didn't break off short-just
cracked an split. I back it off an
had a look at the upright Good
strong piece of wood; I never
thought anything less'n a five-ton
truck would crack it. So I took The
car over to the film station on the
corner whore they got pits, an had
it done"
"Mmm. Notice anything else
about it?"
Wings of the hood was awful
heavy, too, Like liftin' pieces of
steel to open up an get at the oil
intake"
Beyond that, Hank had noticed
nothing. He was dismissed, and
Larry turned to the manager and
asked him when Lewis had lett that
morning
Just about an hour ago" the
manager replied Bought 10 gal
Ions of gas and showed off, with a
girl in the front seat beside him
and Suitcases in the back"
Just a girl? There wasn't an
other man al0ng?"
NO. just the girl"
After jotting down the license
number Of the car, and ascertain
ing that Lewis had neither asked
for any road maps nor made any
casual remarks that would give anv
clew as to the direction he had
planned to take, Larry and his men
returned to the Federal building.
In his office Larry reaSsembled his
staff about him.
Now, he said, we've got to
drift around town and ask 100000 900
questions. Somewhere around Dover
there must be some one who has
