Cooperation With
District in Power
Program Welcome

In a statement released by the
Imperial Irrigation district board
OF directors early this week, deep
appreciation is expressed for the
assistance being given by interested
persons in the county in further
ing the districts power develop
ment and distribution program.
while we realize that everyone
is helping us in whatever way
possible" the boards statement
says, I'VE must call particular at
tention to the excellent work done
toward furthering the districts
power program by the county SUI
pervisors and by Elmer Heald, dis
trict attorney"
The boards statement refers
specifically to the material gather
ed by District Attorney Heald re-
lative to the position of Imperial
county on the matter of permits
and franchises for the use of coun-
ty property by the private power
interests and it is the belief of
board members that the material
supplied by Heald at the recent
hearing before the state railroad
commission, will he one of the
strongest factors in the general
evidence given at that time in
support of the districts program.
Attention is called to the sup
port given by the supervisors in
their stand on the matter of pow
er development and distribution by
the district, in that they authorlz-
ed the district attorney to proceed
against the Southern Sierras COM
pany to prevent that company from
stringing wires on county property
in competition against the propos-
ed district operations and adopted
resolutions in which they unequlv-
ocally endorsed the power pro-
gram of the irrigation district.
District Attorney Heald is fur
ther thanked in this statement Tor
his legal advice on questions per-
tanning to the county's stand IN
the matter of power Distribution
and for his personal appearance on
programs dedicated to the further
ance of power development ana
distribution by the district.

LAW EXPERT
WILL TRY TO
SAVE BRUNO

NEW YORK, Feb. 13. W.P-Sam-
uel Leibowitz, the great mouth
piece" who has saved i12 men from
the electric chair, announced that
he was going into Trenton state
prison death house to "get the whole
truth" from Bruno Richard Haupt-
mann.
A great criminal laWyer-defend-
er of Al Capone in the lush days of
prohibition and chief counsel in the
famous Scottsboro caseS-LeiboWitz
said he would join the Hauptmann
legal staff if the pale prisoner in cell
No. 9 at Trenton comes clean"
about the Lindbergh baby kidnap-
ing.
He said that as the result of
visit today from Mrs. Hauptmann.
She came to him on this holiday
when most downtown offices in New
York were closed. Leibowitz' was
open, and for an hour he listened to
Mrs Hauptmann, who talked to him
rapidly and earnestly in the knowl-
edge that her husbands 30-day re-
prieve would expire Saturday and
that the shadow of the electric chair
again was long and dark across his
life.
Then Leibowitz came out, and, in
that full-throated voice familiar in
every New York courtroom where
men go on trial for their lives, said
No Legal Chess"
Persons of great prominence and
standing have sought to enlist nv
aid in the Hauptmann casa 1 have
just had an extended conferCnc
with Mrs. Hauptmann. I have made
it clear to her in plain English un-
der what conditions I will consent
to be identified with her husbands
case.
Il do not propose to enter this case
in order to play a game of legal
chess to save Bruno from the chair.
Any person with the least bit of
discernment can place little credcnce
in the fish stories told in Bruno's
behalf from the witness stand in the
Pennington courtroom. BY The same
token there was much produced By
the prosecution that smells to nigh
heaven.
THE best advocate that Bruno can
retain at this crucial moment is
Bruno Richard Hauptmann HIM
self"
Il am going to see him in the
death house and he must tell me
the whole truth-let the chips fall
where they mayor I will not lift
finger in his behalf"

ing in Jail.
"A little old lady like me should
MT be in JAIL" she said. But that's

Municipal Judge Harold Landret
to describe the elderly little wo-
man as "the most inhuman per-
son" that ever faced his court,
was placed in the hands of police
,alienists, who will report Friday.
Mrs. Gill, very good-natured
about it all, refused to give any
further motive for her dog-poison-
ing campaign.
Il put the poison in my own
yard" she said. I've got a right
to do that, haven't 1? I didn't
put it out in the street. If the
dogs wanted to come and get it,
that's. their fau1t-and nobody S
business but NINE"
Probation officer Minnie Barton
declined to recommend leniency
for the woman. She said that al
though death of the Tahan deg,
which died in convulsions a. few
minutes after it scampered out Of
Mrs. Gills back yard, was the
only case definitely proved
against her, at least a hundred
other cases of dog p0isonings

Senator Lashes Out
At New Deal Plans
In Political Speech

GREENSBORO, N. c., Feb. 13. U.H
Sen l.. j. Dickinson, r., Iowa, Wed.
nesday night denounced New Deal
reform measures because they served
merely as a cloak to conceal the
transformation of our economic sys-
tenn into some hodge-podge scheme
of Tugwell collectivism.
At the Lincoln day dinner Jointly
sponsored by the Young Republican
club and the Republican state com
mittee, Dickinson said that the vital
issue of what kind of government
we wished to hand on to our
children would cut across party lines
in the grave crisis confronting
our country and during the coming
presidential election.
He said the New Dealers made
their mistake when they ''misinter-
preted acquiescence for approval of
so-called radical measures. He said
that the Literary Digest poll recent
ly showed that 40 per cent of the
voters who supported the New Deal
favored Socialism and the trans
formation of America into collec-
twist society"
Dickinson said that the growing
government paternalism' struck out
only at democracy itself but at the
very existence of the states.
He warned that since the power of
appointment rests with the Presi-
dent and since six of the nine judges
are now over 10 years it is probable
that the next administration will
name a majority of the court. He
declared that "one of the vital issues
IN the coming campaign will be who
is to fill possible vacancies upon the
supreme court"
The Iowa senator denounced the
pending farm bill as having unlimit-
ed opportunities for political abuses

devoted a Lincoln's day address
mainly to plea for new order
of patriotism, and reaffirmation

HOLLYWOOD, Feb. 49, UP 49,
Edward Diamond Jim) Arnold,
chubby character actor, has per-
feet double, and is itching to show
him off.
The double is Bill Hoover, Gun
related to HERBERT, a veteran bit
actor and stunt man who resembles
his employer so closely that even
Arnolds grown daughter, Elizabeth,
can't always tell them apart.
Arnold is full of the idea of do
ing a personal appearance tour
with Hoover, in which Bill would
appear on the stage first and take
a lot of bows. after which Arnold,
himself, would trot out from the
wings and astonish the natives.
Currently, however, it looks as
if Arnold would have to do his
itching and astonishing in Holly
wood. Since his success in the role
of Diamond Jim" Brady, he is
definitely launched on a film series
of Americana, which should keep
him busy for months to come.
He is finishing an impersonation

playing the part of the Utah
pioneer.
For his own part, Arnold wants
10 play Grover Cleveland, presi-
dent Of the United States during
the panic years Of the 1905.
Whatever he decides is okay with
Hoover, who has a job as long as
Arnold is working.
Hoover was discovered" when
he went to M-G-M to try for the
assignment as stand-in for Moon
Faced Charles Laughton, then about
to begin work as Captain Bligh in
''Mutiny on The Bounty He got
the job, but everybody on the lot
mistook him for Arnold, who heard
about the find and signed him up.
Hoover is invaluable to Arnold
because he can take the stars
place before the camera in scenes
calling for athletics. He does much
of the stars professional hand
shaking and is adept at inscribing
his autograph.
Arnold (45) is two years older
than his alter ego, but otherwise
they are as nearly alike as un-
related persons can be, even to
the lefthandedness they share.
