DOUBTFUL Of
EPIC FUTURE

LOS ANGELES. June %. UR) -
Future of the End Poverty League,
Inc, founded by Upton Sinclair,
was still in doubt today pending a
recheck of votes for 81 directors.
Sinclair, who launched the "end
poverty" movement last fall when
he ran for governor of California
on the Democratic ticket, threaten
ed to withdraw from the Epic"
party if the directorate fell into the
hands of "Communistic" elements.
A. E. Sessions, representing Bak-
ersfield, Calf, and Sherman Balm
bridge, representing Holywood-two
Sinclair supporters-were assured
of election in the early counting,
but other contests still were in
doubt.
Control of the party was sought
by the United Front"-an organ
ization which Sinclair says is mo-
tivated by Communist principles
The "leftists" endeavored to unseat
the politico- author as head of the
Epic" movement through election
of a majority of directors.

FEDERAL AID
EXTENDED To
NEW ORLEANS
Uncle Sam Comes To Rescue
OF City Throttled By Domina-
tion OF Huey Long
BY 1. I. FEMRITE
limited Press staff Correspondent

Copyright, 1885, By United Press
NEW ORLEANS, La. June 22.-
The federal government interven-
ed with funds and moral support
today to prevent the New orleans
municipal government from falling
into the hands of Sen. Huey P.
Long, indomitable enemy of the
Roosevelt administration.
The Federal Emergency Relief
Administration advanced funds that
assured continued operation of 10
vital municipal services. Observers
generally agreed that had the fed
eral funds not been forthcoming,
the old regular political organiza-
ton, in nominal control of NUM-
cipal government, would have been
forced TO surrender within a few
days to its implacable foe, Senator
Long.
Garbage collectors went on strike
yesterday, leaving refuse to accum-
ulate throughout the city. Because
of the blockade the Long controlled
legislature had established around
the municipal treasury, they, to-
gether with all other city employ
ees had not been paid in two
months.
In any city this would have been
serious, but in New Orleans, with
its summer climate, it was doubly
so. The citizenry was as greatly
alarmed as the old regular officials
/ waiting helpleSsly in city hall for
something to develop. Then came
the order from Frank H. Peterman
state director of F'ERA, now in
Washington to prepare their pay
rolls SO that his organization could
meet them.
Long Gang Enraged
Members of the Long political
machine, which is in virtually alb
! Solute political control of all Lou
iSiana except New Orleans, were
enraged. Ror months Senator Long,
using the militia and laws passed
at his diCtation by the legislature,
had tried to force the resignation
! of Mayor T. Semmes Walmsley and
other officials elected with him.
Peterman once was a member of
the Long machine, but later became
one of Longs bitterest enemies.
From Washington, Peterman sent
this telegram to his office here:
I'm view OF the great menace to
public health and safety now exist
ing, and the destitute condition of
the workers involved, 1 have, at the
request of various civic and labor
organizations of the city. establish
ed project to handle certain func-
tions essential to the public well
fare"
The employees affected were
bridge tenders, street sWeeperS, iSo-
lation hospital attendants, and en-
ployees of city board of health,
market sanitation, municipal boys
home, the fire alarm office, the
hospital for mental diseases, and
the house of detention.
Policemen and firemen, whose de
partmentS arc controlled by the
Long machine, were not included.

ARMY FLYERS
JUMP SAFELY

BANNING, Calf. June %. U,P
Three army flyers leaped to safe
ty by parachute today when the
army observation plane they were
flying from March Field, Riverside,
to Brooks Field, San Antonio, Tex
as, caught fire at an elevation of
5000 feet.
The men were Capt r. 1. Dugan,
Cadet F. H. McDuff and Sergeant
R. Giles. McDuff was plotting.
Dugan and McDuff dropped two
thousand feet before opening their
parachutes. Giles was only 200 feet
from earth when his parachute
opened. All landed without injury.
The plane, falling four and one
half miles west of Banning, start
ed a brush fire which burned over
several hundred acres.
The flyers said the fire started
on the right wing of the ship.

CLIPPER PLANE COMPLETES FLIGHT
BY SPECTACULAR BLIND LANDING
Crew Sets Big Plane Down Safely On San Francisco
Bay After Extensive Flight to Midway
Island And Return

ALAMEDA AIRPORT, Alameda,
Calf, June %. UP)-Pan American
Always giant air explorer, the
four -motored Clipper ship, COM
pleted a round trip flight from
California to the mid-Pacific Mid
way Islands in a spectacular blind
landing on San Francisco bay to-
day.
The great silyer-hulled flying
boat swept down and sliced the
water of its mainland Alameda ter
minal at 1910 p. m. psf, complet-
ing the last leg of its second trans
Pacific hop in 18 hours, 40 minutes.
Capt. Edwin c. Musick and the
Clippers five crewmen lifted the
ship from I-lari Harbor, Honolulu,
at $50 p. m. psf yesterday.
Flying at high attitudes, Musick
and his companions covered the
major portion of the route in
new air lane approximately 400
miles north of the great circle
route along which they flew on the
first California Hawaii round trip
in April, and on the east-west
flight to honolulu at the start of
the Midway expedition.
Two and a half hours after leav-
ing Honolulu in the smoke of a
cane field fire, Musick nosed the
ship upward and climbed to an
elevation of 11,000 feet. The alti-
tude was maintained while the
clipper bucked headwinds and rain
squalls along the course.
A few hundred miles from the
California coast, Musick turned
back into the great circle route and
stepped up the Clippers speed. Ra-
cling as fast as 1873 miles an hour
at times, the giant ship flashed to
ward its objective, the red-roofed
radio beam station, where airWays
operators had sent its directional
beams through the night.

mine in the Picacho mountains
which at one time yielded much
gold, to be followed by a cessation
of operations and a promise of a
return to active operations again
when the title to the old mine pro
perty is finally determined.
Original patents to the mine
were granted by President Grover
Cleveland in 1894 and the papers
named DeWitte C. Jayne as orig
inal grantee. Records both in the
San Diego county files and in the
local sheriffs office had to be gone
over in order to bring the matter
of title down accurately to the
present.
This property has been under an
agreement for sale during the past
year and it is expected to be re-
opened for the production of gold
when the title question is finally
and satisfactorily determined.

MARTHA JANE PREBLE THANKED BY
ARMY FOR SAVING FLYERS LIFE

Martha Jane Preble. 14-year-
daughter of Andy Preble of Imper-
ial, chairman of the county board
of supervisors, is proudly wearing
the insignia Of the army air corps,
sent to her by 1t Col. j. H. Pirie,
commanding the 18th attack group
at March Field. for her action
which saved the plane and possibly
the life of Captain j. E. Malone a
member of the group, when he en-
countered difficulties over Imperial
Valley on the night of June 3. In
addition Martha Jane has received
a gift from Captain Malone, and
a letter from Lieutenant Colonel
Pirie.
Enroute from March Field to San
Diego and return via the coast in
a practical flight, Captain Malone's
radio beam went out of commission
and he became lost over the valley.
He flew until his gasoline supply
was nearly depleted dropping three
flares in an effort to find safe
landing place.
Martha Jane saw the third flare
as it dropped near Imperial. and
rushing from her bed ran to the
county airport and turned on the
landing lights just as Captain Ma
lone was about to abandon his ship
and take to q parachute to save hs
life. He was able to make a safe
landing.
At the time of the incident it was
reported a small boy had turned
on the lights. Martha Jane had
run to the airport and then ran
right home, making no effort tc

Five Men Drawn At National
Unemployment Office To Set
Up Field Station
EQUIPMENT DUE SHORTLY
Company Will Maintain Its
Headquarters At Holtville And
Work South Of Midway Wells

Monday morning four laborers
and a carpenter will be sent out
from the national unemployment
office here to start the first work
on the section of the All American
canal which was recently awarded
to the Mitry-Chambers companies
for excavation. This is the sector
between the East highline canal
and the sand hills.
Arrangements for sending out
these workers were made this NOR
ming by G. A. Colon, superintend-
ent for the Chambers company
who conferred on the matter with
Chan Livingston, manager of the
local unemployment office. More
workers will be added to this num-
Der when needed, officials stated
this morning.
These men will start the work of
establishing working quarters for
the company in the field south of
Midway Wells while the company
base of operations will be in Holt
vile. Machinery and equipment
will start arriving at the Midway
Wells station next week to be as
sembled and put in condition for
the work of active excavation of
the % mile canal stretch.
The Chambers company to whom
this contract was awarded several
weeks ago by the reclamation bu-
reau, will put two small machines
on the ditch just as soon as they
can be assembled, with a larger
digger to be added later. The con-
tract calls for commencement of
this work within 80 days after
awarding of the contract and it is
to be completed within 21a years
from that date.
With the awarding of this con-
tract and commencement of work
on this sector of the canal active
operations are under way along the
entire route of the canal with the
exception of short stretch from
the Pot Holes to the site of the di-
version dam.
Machines At Work
At present excavating machines
are working westward from the Pot
Holes toward the sand hills and in
the Pilot Knob sector. Force ac-
count workers have dug the canal
from the East Highline canal to
CaleXico and west of that city to
the WestSide Main canal. No de-
cision has as yet been rendered as
to the route of the canal through
CaleXico and it is still hoped that
this may be through the city and
not to the north as had originally
been planned.
Information received here from
the Denver office of the reclama-
ton bureau several weeks ago is to
the effect that bids will soon be
called OH the construction of the
Imperial dam and desilting works,
the excavation of the remaining
portion of the canal and also the
construction of the power plants
which are to be located along the
canal route. When these are receiv-
ed and finally awarded the entire
canal construction work will have
been covered by contract or force
account operations, leaving only the
installation of necessary machin-
cry to generate power from the
canal and the erection of a dis
tribution system to carry this pow
er throughout the valley according
to the power program adopted by
the district board of directors.

Dear Miss Preble:
AS commanding officer of the
18th attack group at March Field, I
wish to personally express my
thanks to you for the timely cour-
tesy and thoughtfulness to one of
the officers of my command, Cap
tain Malone, on the night of June
8 when you so promptly turned
on the lights of the Imperial Air
port Captain Malone had used his
last flare and his gasoline tank was
almost empty. Had you not so
quickly recognized his distress it
would have been necessary for him
TO make an emergency parachute
jump with danger of injury to him
self and certain complete loss of his
airplane. In addition the falling
airplane would have endangered
lives and property on the ground.
Your prompt action is highly
commendable and will be remem-

Everything Reported To Be In
Readiness For Fine Program
To Be Presented Sunday
MANY GOING OVER TODAY
Harrigan Believes Estimate Of
5000 Maximum Attendance
Will Be Exceeded

Starting early this morning, with
few lucky ones able to get away
the exodus from Imperial Valley to
attend the day dedicated to this
community at the Californian -Paci-
fic International Exposition tomor-
row went into full swing this af-
ternoon, with scores of cars headed
"over the hump" to the coast.
The scores were expected to in
crease to hundreds later in the day
and during the night, while others,
unable to get away until tomorrow,
will leave early in the morning.
Every evidence points to large
crowd of valley residents at the
program tomorrow, said B. A.
Harrigan. secretary of the Imperial
county board of trade, before he
departed this morning to check up
on last minute arrangements at the
exposition. "All sections of the val
ley seem to be responding even
better than we anticipated, and we
expect our early estimate of a top
crowd of 5000 persons will not be
far short of the actual number.
"All arrangements have been COM
pleted. Upwards of $4,000 fine cam
taloupes have already been sent to
the coast and viii be distributed
to those attending the exposition
tomorrow, exclusive of those from
the valley. These will be designat-
ed by ribbons provided by the
board of trade, and having plenty
of melons at home, need expect
none at the fair. The Holtville
girls drill team left today for the
coast and will participate in the
program tomorrow. The Indian

After Desert Trip

PHOENIX, Ariz., June %. up
Jeanne Bauer, 10, who disappeared
from her home in Tempe, near
here, Thursday. was returned home
today after two days of "roughing
it" in the desert.
She was found about 30 miles
east of Tempe near the Supersti-
ton mountains, where a filling sta
ton attendant recognized her when
she asked for water.
The child, who started on an un-
authorized visit to an aunt at Pay
son, Ariz., slept two nights in the
open desert. She said she was afraid
to ask for rides on the highway be-
cause she feared she would be TAX
en- home.
