HEWES QU|ETS
FEARS OVER
MESA PLANS
No Need Exists for
Alarm, Ayers
Director

There is no need for alarm at
the prospect of opening up lands
on the East Mesa for cultivation
by irrigation from the All American
canal Evan t. Hewes, president of
the Imperial Irrigation District
said today.
The main problem which con-
fronts the valley in connection with
proposed development of the Mesa
is not the irrigation of that section
but how to bring it within the
boundaries of the District in the
proper way, to provide drainage, to
determine the nature of the crops
to be grown on this land and also
what portions of the Mesa are best
suited to the individual CROP
Hewes added.
"One particular feature of this
program must not be overlooked as
it is of the utmost Importance to
District and the entire valley as
well. That is the value of this de-
velopment to present acreage in
making the Mesa help pay it's share

canal, just as the Coachella Dis
trict will do"
Population Growing
"This expected development in
connection with the East Mesa will
not mean that too much new land
will be brought into use to produce
a surplus of crops which will go to
waste because of the lack of a
ready market. On the contrary
long before the Mesa can produce
these crops for the market, the
coast population, at it's present
rate of growth, will need them and

DRIVE ASKED
upon ALIENS.
NOW IN U. s.
Rep. Dies Seeking
Unemployment
Solution

WASHINGTON, Dec. II.
(UP)-A congressional drive
to clear the country of aliens
as a means of solving the un-
employment problem was
announced today by Rep.
Martin Dies, D., Tex, who said he
would file a petition to force
house vote in January on his pro-
gram.
He estimated more than 100000
alien workers are in the United
States. His bill would stop all new
immigration deport all aliens legal
ly here who refuse to become citi-
zenS.
81 think that on the basis of a
broad investigation 1 have made
that three-fourths of our unem-
ployment problem can be traced to
the alien situation" Dies said. "The
number of aliens who should be
deported total three-fourths of the
100000 jobless."
my bill would only permit 40
per cent exemption from present
quotas for the sole purpose of re-
uniting families" he said. "There
are now $4,000 aliens in this coun-
try exclusive of those Illegally here.
They should be required either to
become citizens in a reasonable
time or be deported.
Dies said Works Progress Admin
istrator Harry l.. Hopkins estimated
six months ago that 100000 aliens
were on relief rolls and Il believe
if we could get the facts it would
show as many aliens have entered
the country since 1880 as there
have been Americans put to work.
There is no distinction between al
alien and a citizen on federal re-
lief"

Woes of Duck Hunting
1t was a chilly morning wher
Lionel Brackenbury, the host,
started out for a duck hunt along
New River with his guests, Col. C.
Hilton and Maj. Donald B. Hilton
of Los Angeles and l.. j. Decker
and A. R. Duke of San Diego. Col.
Hilton found the dangers of duck
hunting lie not entirely in guns and
hunters, but to large extent in
river banks. One of them caved
in on him, bruiSing couple of ribs.
In spite of that, he was the hero
of the day, bringing in the only
duck of the expedition. R. Brack-
enbury, Lionel's father who lives in
La Jolla, found the Muse perched
on the river bank, and penned this:
While dusky darkness did the world
enfold,
A colonel brave, his son, a major
bold,
With three good men, well armed
and true
A warlike company, but hastily en-
rolled
Set forth to do or die.
The stream ran cold, the day
dawned red,
Four men lay ambushed in the
river bed,
Their guns held ready to repulse
the foe,
Which, seeming fearsome of these
forces, fled,
Scattering to and fro.
The gallant colonel, who the foe
would flank,
Went up the stream and down the
river bank,
Which, by some law of gravity in
fernal,
Respecting neither dignity nor
rank,
Slipped down upon the colonel.
I
Resolved no grave should hold
man not dead,
The colonel freed and raised his
smothering head,
And yelled for help, cursing his
lousy luck,
Kicked himself free from out this
earthly bed,
And shot their only duck!
