Discussed Notes
The father and daughter dis

Miss McElroy appeared distraught,

her there was nothing he or she

has been in contact with MCGEE IS

ATHEL TREES
RECOMMENDED
FOR PLANTING

A. NJ. Mealy, pioneer rancher OF
Imperial Valley, has suggested &c
the chamber of commerce that the
river washes along the channels of
the New River and Alamo River be
planted to athel or tamarisk trees.
Also athel trees might make start
if set out elsewhere in shallow
bitches. even in alkali lands.
In future years. said Mealy, I'VE
shall have a very fine source of lum-
Der here in these tamarisk trees if
they are thus planted and allowed
to grow up. Contrary to the usual
thought on the matter. the atlIel
tree makes very excellent lumber II
is colored like maple and hard and
tough like hickory. This wood should
be particularly desirable for furni-
ture making. 1t will, however not
last in contact with the ground,
and athel fence posts are but short
lived.
This would be a splendid SERA
project. as the planting would re-
quire nothing but labor The cut
tings could be taken from mature
trees and merely stuck into the low
and moist lands along the river
channels, as athel trees are propa-
gated from cuttings and do not have
to be rooted when set out. AS ev-
eryone knows, the growth is quick.
Within a few years, these trees will
be large enough to cut for lumber.
In the meantime, the river chan
nelS would be highly ornamental"
Mealy has made quite study OF
handling athel wood. Most per-
sons" he said. think of athel as
only suitable for firewood. 1t can
really be made into very fine lum-
ber." He has furnished the cham
Der of commerce with specimen
boards, cut from mature athel trees,
which Manager Hays is having sent
TO Washington to the bureau OF
wood utilization for analysis and for
tests as to tensile strength and COM
preston factors, so that more in
formation can be gained as to the
value of this timber.

Administration
Again Attacked
By Radio Priest

DETROIT, Feb. IL. U.P) - The
Roosevelt administration was charg-
ed today by the Rev. Father Charles
E. Coughlin with having endorsed
"radical leanings toward interna-
tional Socialism along with certain
agents of the administration VINO
are theoretic Communists. -
1.-The President has directly OPP
posed full naturalization OF federal
reserve banks according to ms
banking act of 1885, FIR Cougnlln
asserted yesterday in his regular
radio address.
''He appears content to praise a
measure which permits private
owners to continue profiteering up
on bonds and the manufacture OF
money under firmer federal con-
troll.
. "The President cannot escape
the charge of protecting the oank-
ers, questionable privilege of man
ufacturing money loaning credit
and exacting in return their pound
of currency flesh,' the priest sad.
The Roosevelt administration Will
"sooner succeed in driving the m
dustrialists from America before the
money changers have been driven
from the temple if the tendencies
of "continued opposition to nation
alization of our money system and
radical leanings toward industrial
Socialism, are indicative of our fu-
ture policies. -

Order On Blythe
Route Reported
Temporary One

Trucks will not all be diverted
through the Yuma gateway in Ari-
zona and passenger cars will not
all be sent by way of Blythe, des-
pite newspaper stories appearing in
Yuma newspapers, according to in
formation received at the Ell Gen.
tro Chamber of Commerce of Yuma
county. Much concern was caused
N Imperial Valley by the newspaper
article, which stated that the Ari-
zona highway commission had or
dered all trucks away from the
Blythe route and sent by way OF
Yuma, and the Blythe highway de-
signated exclusively for passenger
al travel. If permanently put into
effect, this order would have had
tendency to reduce passenger car
travel in Imperial Valley.
Dunbar reported to Manager
Hays of the local chamber that this
was only a temporary expedient
made necessary for few days be-
cause of a washed-out bridge on the
Blythe highway. Just as soon as the
bridge is rebuilt or the road made
safe for heavy travel, the order will
be annulled and both trucks and
passenger cars will have the priyi-
lege of going by whichever route
the driver pleases.

LEADER SAYS
TELEVISION TO
BE PRACTICAL

LOS ANGELES, Feb. IL. (U.P) -
America is ready to launch television
as a practical entertainment me-
dium, Merlin H. Aylesworth, pre-
sident of the National Broadcasting
company, declared today.
Aylesworth, reticent to discuss
television in the past, said some OF
his conferences here with motion
picture executives dealt with the
linking of the film industry with
the television that is coming"
AS president OF one of the two
national radio chains and of RKO
motion picture studios, Aylesworth
said he felt both cinema and ra-
dio enterprises will be linked with
the new broadcasting medium.
Aylesworth declared that America
does not need to worry about Eng
land getting ahead of her in tele-
vision. He said that this country is
ready to launch televiSion "but 1t
will be a tremendously expensive
thing here"
However, he pointed out that Eng
land was a small country where ra-
dio broadcasting was supported by
taxes which made the problem OF
television easier to handle.
The problems to be solved in this
country before television can be
called successful are distributing
television receivers to the 100000
radio set owners and revising broad
casting stations to handle the new
medium, he said.

ceedings as representative of the

Before the noon recess of the
board today, the votes in two pre-
cincts had been counted. These
were Jasper and Eastside, both in
Division No. 4, and showed loss
of one vote each for McIver, Hatch,
and Bratton from the totals pre-
viously given these candidates.
1t was estimated that the re-
counting of these ballots may take
a week or even longer, judging by
the slowness with which the pro-

JUDGE PEC0RA
DUE TO DIRECT
PHONE PROBE
Inquisitor of Stock
Exchange to Confer
With President

Before the day is over. Presi-
dent Roosevelt may determine to
appoint Judge Ferdinand Pecora
of the New York Supreme Court,
and formerly chief inquiSitor in
the Senate'S investigation of Stock
Exchange activities, to the post
of general counsel in charge Of
the Governments investigation
into the American Telephone and
Telegraph Co.
Judge Pecora is scheduled to
confer at the White House late
today.
The telephone investigation, for
which Congress has appropriated
$750,000 will be one of the Ad-
ministration's most searching in
quirieS, and will be conducted by
the Federal Communications Com
mission. 1t is rumored in Ad-
miniStration circles that the
"$75O,O00 is only a starter; and
that the inquiry into the ramifi-
cations of the parent company of
the Bell system will extend to
every local company in the United
States.
Fee to be PrObed
The chief item of information
that the Administration is seek
ing, according to communications
experts, is the relationship be-
tween the A. T. and T. Co., and
the Bell companies which furnish
local telephone service. The parent
outfit has for many years done
the major financing for the local
companies, owning the voting
stock, controlled all policies, fur
niShed legal and technical serv-
ices, furnished all materials for
telephone systems; and charged a
fee. The fee enters into local tele-
phone rates and, utility commits
sions have always investigated the
fee and in some instances have
attacked it.
Another item of information
the Administration seeks is in
connection with the A. T. and T.
accounting relative to the reserve
set aside for depreciation.
Reserves Under Fire
Utility commissions have sus-
pected that the Bell system is
handling it's reserve account in
such a way as to enrich the sys-
tenn at the expense of the public.
The fact that the President is
reported to be ready to appoint
Judge Pecora to the inquisitorial
post on the Federal Commiunica-
tions Commission similar to that
which he held for the Senate in
the stock exchange investigation,
indicates that the Administration
looks on the A. T. & T. probe as
extremely important. 1t is ex-
pected the investigation will re-
Quire many months.
