NEW RELIEF BOARD STARTS

imperial county's new emergency re-
lief committee has started off on the
right foot with the choice of NJ. J. Dowd.
chief engineer of the Imperial Irrigation
District as its chairman.
All who have had any relations with
the old board, recently relieved of its
duties, have only praise and admiration
for the group of men and women who did
thankless job in splendid fashion.
Dealing with something which had to be
learned as they went along, and at the
sacrifice of their own business and pri-
vate interests, they worked unselfishly
and loyalty for the welfare of Imperial
valley in a particularly trying time.

thanks for the civic duty they performed.
Relief work is not exactly new to
Dowd. He had some experience in it
last summer when he worked with other
bodies in connection with the water regula-
tions during the drought period. His
work at that time, on top of his numer-
Gus duties connected with the district,
gave him something like an 19 or 20 hour
work day, which refused to annoy him
in any way
Ready to conform to sensible rules and
regulations, Dowd is not the type to let
things get snarled up in red tape, and
he will be difficult to "shush'' when he
wants to know the why and wherefore of
things. Engineers demand facts and
more facts. They are more pernicious in
that respect if possible, than nespaper-
men.

work in harmony for the best interests

ATTITUDE ON
MEXICO HIT
BY PRELATE

WASHINGTON, March 26. Wp)-
New demands that the United
States protest against religious per-
secutions" in Mexico were made to-
day as Archbishop Michael j. Cur
ley of Baltimore criticized the state
department for its apathy and in
activity"
Secretary of State Cordell Hull is
setting a precedent in not protest
ing on behalf of prosecuted citi-
zens of Mexico" Curley said last
night at a protest meeting here. The
Catholic leader implied he might
seek to bring popular pressure upon
the administration.
There is no matter in the coun-
try today" he said, upon which so
much Christian and Jewish atten-
ton is concentrated as Mexico. 1t
must be made clear that there is no
excuse for the apathy and inactivity
of the United States department OF
state"
Archbishop Curley asserted Hull
lis reversing an honorable and time
sanctioned principle of American
sympathy and protest on behalf of
the oppressed of other lands, sub
stituting for this century-old ira
dition an unjustifiable policy of ig-
noble silence
Agitation for American action be-
tween the Mexican government and
the Catholic church in Mexico has
been led in the senate by Senator
William E. Borah of Idaho. He
asked for an investigation of con-
oitions in Mexico.

plan would mark a real upheaval.
In the average session the house
clerks have between 10000 and 49,
600 bills to take care of and the
senate a little less than half that
number.
Glasmann's plan would mark a
sweeping change in congressional
procedure.
He would have all legislation or
iginate in the house with the pro-
viso that no representative could
introduce more than one bill. Nor
could any representative introduce
a bill without first getting the ap-
proval of one senator.
No senator could sponsor more
than three bills and the total would
be limited to 288 or three times the
number of senators.
The only exception to the rule
would be routine measure, cover
ing appropriations. etc"

introduced are private bills for re-
lief of some constituent. the actual

Now Fifty was a very good little
rabbit boy except for one thing. His
shoe laceS were always coming
loose. No matter how tightly he
seemed to tie them when he dressed
in the morning, almost always on
his way to school Fiffy's laces
would come loose.
Sometimes he tripped on the
dangling ends and fell down. Some
times he saw the loose ends in time
and stopped to tie them. But when
Fifty did this he always called to
the brother or sister with whom
he was going to school: k

Lithuanio Sentences
Four Men To Death

KOVNO, Lithuania, March &c.
U.P)-Four men were sentenced to
death today in the court verdict on
cases of 122 Germans of the Memel
territory charged with plotting to
separate Memel from Lithuania.
Eighty three of the defendants
were given prison terms. Thirty
five were acquitted, most of them
youths.
The verdict was calculated to
rouse bitter resentment in Germany.
Adolf Hitler was believed to have
mentioned the Kovno trial to Sir
John Simon yesterday. 1t was re-
ported that Hitler also complained
generally of treatment given to
Germans in Memel, which was taken
from Germany after the World war
and allotted to Lithuania.

Glasmann isn't the only one with

One plan, proposed this year and

STEALING THE DIONNES

Losing a bassdrum has long been con-
sidered an impossibility, but bassdrums

1t would seem as fantastic as losing a

onne quintuplets for exploitation in the
United States, yet we'll founded rumors
that such plot has at least been dis
cussed, has prompted Canadian author
tiles to place police guard around the
home of the five famous little girls.
The plot, as outlined, was to get con-
troll of the quintuplets and once they
were in the United States, to exhibit
them and to defy Canadian courts to OBJ
tain custody of them.
1t would be difficult for some to un-
derstand that there are men who would
molest these little tykes in any way, yet

case and the recent incident of Los An
geles father killing his little son to prove
that there are men who are beasts, cap
able of doing anything despicable
Some might argue that there is no no.

removing them from their present home.
Anything that interferes with even one
hour of their existence at this time mo-
Tests them.
Those who say they couldn't get away
with it, don't know some of our lawyers.
There are plenty of attorneys capable of
digging up laws which would prove the
quintuplets were actually born in the
United States, and if needed they could
probably prove anything else about them.
Canada can probably protect the quin-
tuplets from any such thing happening
to them, but it is disgrace to the United
States that such precautions have to be
taken because we cannot control our
lawless element.
When the quintuplets have to be guard
ed from us it is an admission that we are
indeed in sorry plight.
