VOTES
FOR RETURN
To GERMANY
Plebiscite Is Landslide For
Nazis Causing Opponents To
Start Exodus.
BY RICHARD d. MCMILLAN

(Copyrlght, 1885, BY United PreSS)
SAARBRUCKEN, Jan. 15.-Saar-
landers rejoiced today over the
prospect of reunion with their
fatherland after a vote for German
rule and German Nazism that rep
resented one of the most smashing
victories ever recorded in a plebis-
site.
The totals in Sundays plebiscite
showed triumph more for Naz-
ism than for Germany itself, for
Nazism was the real test.
The totals were announced by the
league plebiscite commission as:
Registered voters 539 Sal
Total vote cast ......................528,0 ,005
For German rule ......................477,11 ,119
For League of Nations rule. 46,513
For French rule ........................ 2,125
Invalid 2,249
A fraction more than go per cent
of Saarlanders voted for reunion,
after is years of League of Nations
rule, with Germany under Adolf
Hitler and his Nazis.
Crushing and complete, the VIC
tory for Nazism left Socialists and
Communists bitter and despairing.
Thousands Of them must seek
refuge abroad before the Saar is
turned over formally to the Nazi
third reich, probably in mid-March.
Jews Start Leaving
Jewish stores in Saarhrucken be-
gan shutting few hours after the
vote was announced, and the vol
ume of emigrallts to the French
frontier increased There was tight
control at the frontier.
But as for Saarlanders generally,
their JOY knew almost no limit
Each of the eight main electoral
divisions, every one of the 83 bur-
gomasters' districts, went for Ger
many and NaZism-even Saarlouis,
long a part of France and founded
by King Louis XIV of France.
spontaneously they broke into the
Nazi shout: "Heil Hitler,' and be-
gan to sing the Nazi hymn: "HorSt
Vessel. -
Expecting defeat, but almost
stunned by its extent, the Socialists
and Communists abandoned plans
for a demonstration.
The most optimistic Nazis must
have been surprised at the extent
of the victory for Germany. There
was no figure in all the plebiscite
that gave any hope for opponents
of German-and Nazi-rule.

archy in international affairs was
urged upon the senate today by
Democratic Leader Joseph T. Rob-
inson as debate opened on the res
olution for adherence.
He conceded, however, that court
advocates ''in some instances have
claimed more advantages to the
American public than reasonably
can be expected"
Admitting in the beginning" he
said, that many acute differences
between nations will not be sub
mitted to the court for decision,
there are still numerous issues aris-
ing from time to time which sound
policy justifies shall be referred to
judicial process for settlement"
Veteran opponents of American
membership, led by Senators Will
liam E. Borah (Rep0, Idaho, and
Hiram johnson CRep), California,
listened intently as Robinson out
lined advantages Of adhering to
the court.
Administration leaders planned to
permit debate to continue indefi-
nitely. Some predicted a vote be-
fore the end of the week.
Adherence to the court involves
no ENHANCEMENT, no abandonment
of policy or principle" Robinson
said. ut demonstrates coopera-
ton in an effort to substitute right
and justice for force and terror"

VALLEYS AID

Visitors at the chamber of COM
merce yesterday were Walter S.
Dodge, mayor of Indio, and Harry
r. Whittlesey, business man of
that city. They called to pay their
respects and to discuss the traffic
situation existing at Indio. The
people of that city desire the trou-
blesome "S' curve to be straight
ened out and they wish the support
of the city of Ell Centre and the El
Centre Chamber of Commerce in
asking the highway commission to
widen Indio's main street at the
congested point.
While here, Mayor Dodge and
Manager Hays of the chamber dis
cussed the routing of motorists from
Indio to Ell Paso.
Hays pointed out that residents
in Indio in directing tourists bound
eastward, give preference to the
Blythe Phoenix route over the I'm
perial Valley route and called at
tention to the fact that much of
Indio IS business is derived from
cars and trucks travelling to and
from Imperial Valley. He asked
that Indio be impartial in the mat
ter of directing tourists, explain
ing both routes to inquirers and
leaving it to the traveller to decide
on his own route.
Mayor Dodge promised on his re-
turn to Indio to contact various
service stations and others who
have been giving out information
and endeavor to correct it. He ex-
pressed a feeling of sincere friend
ship for Ell Centre and Imperial
Valley and a desire to do everything
possible to promote cordial relations
between the two communities.
