ARIZONA WILL
DEMAND PRICE
IN DAM CASE

PHOENIX, Ariz., May 8. U.P)-
Arizona definitely will not consent
to construction of Parker dam un-
less two important concessions are
made, Gov. B. B. Moeur assured a
Yuma county delegation today.
The price of Arizona s consent
the governor said, will be:
l. Guarantee of 100000 acre
feet of water from Boulder dam.
2. Government assistance in inn
mediate development of the Yuma
Gila project, which eventually will
bring 595,000 acres of desert under
cultivation.
Governor Moeur told the Yuma
men who are seeking development
of the huge southwestern Arizona
project, that his office, the state
attorney general S office, and the
Arizona Colorado river commission
would ask California IS congression-
al assistance in securing from the
government the $24,O00,000 estimat-
ed cost of developing the first unit
of 10000 acres in the Yuma-Gila
project.
Arizona IS demands were crystal
lized following the state IS recent
victory in the United States su-
preme court, when the court held
Parker dam may not be construct
ed without this states consent.

Monslaughter

and a half, the jury which had
heard the evidence presented at

cluded late yesterday afternoon and
this morning Judge Thompson is
sued his instruction after which

on vehicles, and in addition to the
SO state license fee.
Additionally, the committee rec
ommended:
Increased bank and corporation
franchise taxes along the lines al
ready approved by the assembly, to
raise $17,000,000.
Increased inheritance taxes to 20
per cent. to raise 100000.
Adjustment of the two mills tax
on intangibles, in view of the pro-
posed income tax which reaches in
tangibles.
These tax proposals, added to a
liquor tax already approved, would
raise an estimated $91 100000 BIZ
ennially in new revenue. Approx
imately $68,000,000 is needed accord
ing to latest estimates, to balance
the budget, although Governor
Frank F. Merriam previously be-
lieved 95,500,000 would be required.
Claim Returns Greater
In approving a motion to raise
the sales tax rate from 2 per cent
to which point it is scheduled to
drop July l, to 3 pr cent with es-
sential food exempted, the COM
mittee estimated returns would to-
tai $120,000,000 biennially, or nearly
$28,O0O0O0 more than could be ex-
pected under a 2 per cent rate with
no exemptions.
Members voted in favor of a bill
by Assemblyman Charles A. Hunt,
| Los Angeles Democrat, which pro-
vides for specific food exemptions
A motion by Sen. William F
Knowland, Alameda, to place the
rate at 2 per cent without exemp-
tions and adding an additional
per cent with food excepted was
| defeated 5 to S. Sen, w. P. Rich's
motion to place the rate at 2 pei
cent without exemptions lost by
| the vote of Z to 6. Members ther
voted 10 to 3 in favor of 8 pei
cent rate with food exempted.
The proposal to shift automobile
taxes to the state was approved II
to 2. At present automobile own
ers pay cities and counties $11 ,000,-
600 biennially in personal property
taxes. The suggested state rate OF
1.25 on estimated cash value would
collect $7,0OO,000 additionally, and
cause the counties and cities to
lose $11,O00,0OO.
1t was pointed out, however, that
return OF utility property to local
tax rolls next year will give coun-
ties from S62,0OO,O00 to $70,000,00O
previously collected by the state.

COMMITTEE APPROVES EXEMPTION
OF FOODSTUFFS FROM SALES TAX
Also Favors Income Tax One-Fifth That OF Fedora
Rate, Taxation For Automobiles And Shift Auto
Funds To State

SACRAMENTO, May 8. U.P)-
Exemption of foodstuffs from a re-
tail sales tax of 3 per cent was
recommended today by the joint
legislative steering committee as it
approached final agreement on
program designed to balance the
1935-37 state budget.
An income tax rate one-fifth
that of the federal levy also was
approved by the committee. The
assembly already has passed the
Chatters bill which would collect
one third the federal rate, but COM
mittee members believed is
amount was too high.
Final decision to shift automobile
tax returns from cities and coun-
ties to the state marked the third
outstanding development in the
steering group today. Members
voted, II to 2, to levy tax of 1.25
per cent on the estimated cash
value of automobiles, to collect ap-
proximately $18,0OO,00O biennially.
This would be in lieu of the pres
ent city and county property tax

EP|CS LOSE
ELECTION IN
Los ANGELES

LOS ANGELES, May 8.-The
Epic party suffered almost COM
plete defeat in yesterdays elections
for city councilmen, members OF
the board of education and muni-
cipal judges, returns indicated to-
day.
Incomplete, unofficial returns
gave non-Epic candidates seven OF
the eleven seats on the city coun-
Gil. Epic candidates for two coun-
cilmanic seats were probably far
enough in the lead to be assured OF
the election, but the two remain
ing council races were neck and
neck for epics and non-Epics.
In the board of education race,
it appeared that the security"
group would be elected by a wide
margin. The security" ticket took
an early lead over the Epic candi-
dates in early counting and main
tanned it throughout.
Municipal Judges Joseph Mar
chetti and Newcomb Condee ap-
peared certain of reelection, with
the one Epic indorsed candidate for
this office, Irl D. Brett, trailing
Condee.
Voters rejected proposals to al
low operation of "jitney" buses and
to create a commission for oper-
alton of a municipal bus system. A
third proposal. authorizing sale OF
land and water rights to the Met
ropolitan water district was as
sured of approval.

HATCH AND BRATTON DENY THEY
BLOCKED EFFORT TO COMPROMISE

In view of an article appearing
in a newspaper other than The
Press which stated that any at
tempt to reach a compromise in the
irrigation district election dispute
was blocked by E. N. D. Hatch and
Charles A. Bratton, we, the under
signed, wish to make this state
ment and answer.
Judge B. F. Warmer before leav-
ing El Centre, stated that he felt
litigants in the action should try
to effect compromise for the
good of the public. In compliance
with that statement we suggested
that the board of directors call the
litigants before them at their meet
ing yesterday to discuss the matter
with a view of reaching solution
to the difficulty, pending the court
,, decision as to the legality of the
,, election. All litigants asserted they
were willing to discuss the matter
but Mr.. McIver and Miss Barry
objected to holding the discussion
in public so the meeting was held
in closed session.
In spite of this a statement was
later issued which, we believe, is
not at all in accordance with the
| facts of the matter.
We offered the proposition that
Mr.. McIver and Miss Barry should
step out now, with the assurance of
the board that in the event of a
court decision in their favor, we
would Immediately give up the off
ices and allow Mr.. McIver and Miss
Barry to resume their former posts
until an election could be called.
We understood that was the
thing which Mr.. McIver and Miss
Barry were contending for as their
rights. but they refused this prop
osition and came back with the
proposal that all the litigants stay
out of the offices and place them
in charge of a chief deputy who
would be agreeable to all concern
ed.
Mr.. Bratton offered Miss Barry,
as a compromise, the appointment
of chief deputy, on a salary, until

ETURN TRIP
Amelia Earhart Reported On
Way To Newark From Capital
Of Mexico

Copyright, 1885, BY United Press
ATLANTA, Ga, May 8. U.P)-
Amelia Earhart flew her red Lock-
heed Vega monoplane over Atlanta
at p. m. (CST), on the first non
stop flight from Mexico City to
the Greater New York area.
MEXICO CITY, May 8 W.D -
Amelia Earhart, Americas ace wom-
an flyer, took off today on l6-
hour, 2,O70 mile nonstop flight to
Newark, N. j., airport.
1t will be the first nonstop
flight from the Mexican capital to
the greater Newark area.
Miss Earhart, heroine of two At
lantic flights, return flight from
Hawaii and flight from Burbank,
Calf, to Mexico City, took off at
6:10 a. m. T:10 a. N. EST.
Her red Lockheed Vega mono
plane, carrying more than $40 gal
Ions of gasoline, started on flight
that will take her over a dangerous
mountain range in eastern Mexico
and over 700 miles of the Gulf of
Mexico from the vicinity of Tampico
to a point between Corpus Christi,
Tex, and New Orleans.
Miss Earthart had been waiting
many days for good weather to
make her take-off. Bad weather,
particularly along the water stretch,
had caused officials here to urge
her to wait.
The American girl flyer arrived
here April 20 after flight of 1,700
miles, in 1315 hours, from California
On that flight she was forced to
halt near the capital when a bug
got in her eye.
Miss Earhart had completed
about two-thirds of the 2,070 mile
flight as she sped over here, radio
ing that she was still "going
fine"
She asked for the Washington
weather, which was gwen her as
clear all the way to Washington
with visibility of Is miles.

Writer Aided By
EICentro Climate

High praise for Imperial Valleys
climate is given by Edwin Arleigh
Brown, author, who lives at Del
Mar.
He has made several visits to the
valley in recent years and some
weeks ago, when stricken with neu-
ritis, decided to come to the valley
in hopes of getting relief.
"I came here finding it neces-
sary to use canes" said the writer,
who is 10 years old, land could
hardly move my head. Now I have
discarded the canes and l feel
practically as well as ever. This
dry climate is wonderful for such
a condition as I had, and l feel
certain if others could be made to
realize the aid the climate here
can give them they would come
here"
Brown has been interested all his
life in philanthropy and gave high
praise to the fine work which is
being done in various relief agen-
cies sponsored by the federal gov
ernment.

Accused Charged With Tam
pering With Prosecution In
Oil Fraud Case
NEW TRIAL REQUESTED

LOS ANGELES, May 8. U.P)-
Appellate Justice Gavin w. Craig
and Joe Weinblatt, city hall poll
tician, were convicted by a federal
court jury today of conspiring to
impede justice in the prosecution OF
former officials in the Italo Petrol
cum corporation mail fraud case.
Mrs. Helen Werner, former
"Queen Helen" of city politics and
the third defendant, was acquitted.
The jury, which received the case
late yesterday, deliberated seven
hours before returning a verdict.
Mrs. Werner, hysterical figure
during the trial burst into tears
as the verdict was read. Her hus-
band. Erwin P. Werner, former city
attorney, rushed across the court
room to congratulate her.
Justice Craig and Weinblatt ac-
! cepted the verdict without display
of emotion.
Ames Peterson and Mark Heron,
defense counsel, Immediately moved
! for a new trial for the two CONVICT
ed men.
Federal Judge Charles G.. Briggle
! deferred setting a sentence date un-
til after he rules on the motion.
The court granted the dequest OF
defense attorneys that the two be

The dual convictions were voted

tampering."
The reports were based on infor-
nation that an attorney, not con-
nected with the trial, attempted TO
address one of the jurors yester-
day.
A government attorney restrain
ed the man. Previously, 1t was said,
the attorney sought to reach the
| Juror by telephone, informing the
court bailiff it concerned a private
business matter.
The three defendants were ac-
cused of conspiring to solicit money
with which to "fix" federal indict-
ments voted against former officials
of the defunct petroleum firm.
/ At the trial, they contended the
charges were engineered by political
enemies.
1t was the second trial for the
trio. A federal jury disagreed at
the first trial, after which grand
jury returned new indictment.
The jurors refused to comment
on their findings.
A short time before they an
nounced them, they asked Judge

To Protect Bard

Following receipt of a communi-
cation from the Bard Irrigation
district, the local district board of
directors at yesterdays meeting ap-
pointed Evan T. Hewes. chairman
of the board and M. j. Dowd, chief
engineer, to work out plan by
which the Bard district should be
protected from the effects of pos
sible seepage from the All Ameri-

trict alleging that there is danger
of water from the canal waterlog-
ging lands in the Bard area which
lie below the canal route.

the courts decide on the case, now
pending on this matter This she
refused to accept.
Mr. Hatch and Mr.. McIver both
agreed on a deputy but Mr.. Brat
ton asked Miss Barry whom she
would be willing to choose for chief
deputy and she answered that no
one but Charles Jobes would be
agreeable to her.
Mr.. McIyer and Miss Barry
seemed to feel that the only COM
promise which could be accomplish
ed would be for us to allow them
to have the possession of the offices
and receive the mail which the
government is now delivering to us.
In view of these facts, which
we're heard before the directors of
the irrigation district, we resent
the inference contained in the
newspaper article that we had
blocked the attempted compromise.
We desired in the beginning that
the hearing be public so that news
paper reporters could be present and
obtain a correct and unbiased story
of what actually happened, but
this was not possible.
We feel that the inconvenience
to which taxpayers of the district
and the public have been subjected
because of the existing situation
has gone far enough and we are
most willing to hold further con-
ferences and make further conces-
sions, if necessary, in an effort to
reach a settlement, but believe a
similar willingness must be exhib-
tied by Mr.. McIver and Miss Barry
before such an agreement can be
accomplished. The courts have
been unable to assist in reaching
speedy settlement VIC feel that
the public interest demands a sin
cere and earnest effort ON the part
of all litigants to end the present
undesirable conditions and we stand
willing TO do our full share in this
respect.
