of persons who have visited them
and leaders in the communities
where the camps are located join
IN declaring the camps are a step in
the right direction.
There are between 10000 and
100000 migratory workers who fol-
low the crops through the varying
harvest periods in California each
year. The relatively few camps that
the government is preparing to
build cannot pretend to shelter all
OF these people. Our plan is to
demonstrate, however that these
camps are helpful, not only in af-
fording better living conditions for
this type of labor, but also that
the public interest is served by
the elimination of social economic
and health problems that arise when
these large group are left to shift
Tor themselves"

Request Shows Much
Opposition to

WASHINGTON, M ar C h
IA. (UP) = Congressional
leaders, cooking a political
eye at the November cleo
ton, urged President Roose-
velt today to pare next weeks work
relief recommendation to $1,000, ,OOO,-
900 for seven month after July l.
Indications were, with the new
plan virtually complete that the
White House would yield, and re-
quest an appropriation of not more
than 81 ,l25 100000 until Feb. l, 1887.
Authoritative sources also reveal
ed Democratic senators and repre-
sentatives advised Mr.. Roosevelt to
delay his work-relief recommended
ton until next month.
They wanted the controversial
budget tax-bill we'll on its way to
passage before considering job costs.
Anticipated Republican attacks on
both measures motivated the idea.
The president apparently refused,
however, to follow the poStponment
strategy. He announced his employ
ment message would go to Capitol
Hill at least by next Thursday, the
day he leaves for a Florida vaca-
ton.
The new $1,Ooo,OOO,OOO, plus like
amount of the current $4,000, 900, 900
work fund that will remain unspent

Sides Confer Seventeen

Agreement

NEW YORK, Sunday,
M &C h 15. GU Pm e w
York's building strike that
paralyzed elevators and 9TH
er service in hundreds OF
office buildings and apartment
houses for two weeks was settled
by compromise early today.
Both sides receded in their pre-
vious stands. The building owners
agreed to take back all strikers
without discrimination. The union
dropped it's demand for an inn
mediate increase in wages and an
immediate shortening of hours.
The agreement came after the two
sides had conferred almost contin-
uously from 9:45 am. Saturday
until 2:20 am. Sunday. A citizens
committee had heard the arguments
of the disputants and at 6 pm,
summoned them to restate their
case. Joint sessions then began
that resulted in the agreement.
Workers will return to their jobs

In some sections, particularly in
northern New Jersey and in Phila-

New Jersey state police searched

TEMPORARY FARM HOMES
SOUGHT FOR MIGRANTS

BERKELEY Cal, March Ia U,R)
Part time farms for migratory
agricultural families will supplement
the 'resettlement administrators
program in California, the admin
istration's regional headquarters an
nounced here today.
Jonathan Garst, regional director,
said plans for the camps are already
under preparation.
1T is hoped to complete eight
or 10 this year." he added.
Land for the part time farms, he
said, is being acquired in the Tulare-
Fresno area and in the Sacramento
Yolo area.
Attention has been called to the
slight margin of security these peo-
pie have, in recent newspaper ac-
counts from the Nipomo pea fields,
where hundreds of families faced
actual starvation when rain blight

Accused Farmer Moved to

Gehee, his wife, and their two child
rem had been dug up on Patton's
farm.
Patton led Sheriff Sweeten and
Texas Ranger Dan Hines to the
scene and personally dug the hole
that revealed the skeletons.
He dug five feet before reaching
the bodies, eXclaming II told you
I had quit lying" He had prom
ised to reveal the whereabouts of
the bodies after being questioned
at length by the officers.
The bodies were removed to an
undertaking establishment at Ath-
ems where efforts were being made
to positively identify them as those
of the missing family.
McGehee, his wife and two small
children disappeared from the Pat
ton home, where they lived, on
Thanksgiving Day, 1882. Neigh
bors became suspicious several
months later when the McGeheeS
did not reappear.
Patton was questioned in Septem
Der, 1888, but was released when he
denied knowledge of their where
abouts, saying they left his place,
He was re-arreSted last week
and under severe questioning by
Sheriff Sweeten and Texas Rangers,
admitted he killed McGehee, but
claimed he did so in self-defense.
He said McGehee came home drunk,
dubbed his wife and children to
death, then attacked Patton.

"Of course, no amount of shelter
can take the place of food, but a

public or private, would have called
attention to the need of these peo-
pie sooner.
when the Resettlement admin
istration was informed of their
plight, through the chance than one
of our representatives visited the
camp, we certified them to other
agencies who could provide food
to relieve immediate suffering.

fall, one near Marysville and the
other in Kern county, have shown

that the council find Germany
guilty of aggression and punish her
by economic and financial penal
ties if she does not withdraw her
troops from the Rhineland.
The council invited Germany to
attend Mondays session and present
her case but there was grave doubt
tonight that the invitation would
be accepted. Adolf Hitler's speech
at Munich said Germany was tired
of being hailed before international
tribunals as a defendant.
The four Locarno powers held a
conference after the council meet
ing but were far from being united
on their course 1t was reported,
however, that they had decided to
refrain from all negotiations with
Germany until she shows more
ccnciliatory attitude at the council
meeting. Britain was striving ear
nestly to find some way of prevent
ing the application of penalties
which might lead to war.
The Locarno powers decided not
to meet again until after the coun-
Gil had decided on whether it will
condemn Germany as an aggressor,
thereby automatically bringing up
the question of sanctions.
France meanwhile will work be-
hind the scenes to strengthen the
backing she hopes to get from the
others, and far from yielding in the
slightest from her demand that
German troops be withdrawn from
the Rhineland, worked on fresh de-
mands to be made on Germany.
The council will proceed to make
its decisions on condemning Ger
many at Mondays session, regardless
of whether Germany accepts the
invitation to attend. The invitation
was issued in the hope of averting
the grave danger which action
against Germany would entail.
