10 have the commission abandon
the oiled sand road TO the county
The road runs from the High Line
canal to Midway Wells and was
built by the Calexico road district
out of its own funds at a cost OF
$4,000. according to Charles c..
Halliday deputy district attorney.
The old oiled road is to be
abandoned because a new road Is
being constructed along the north
side the All-American canal, max
ing the present road unnecessary.
The canal will cross the route OF
the old road in two places and
its continued use would require
the building and maintaining Of
two expensive bridges.
When Phil d. Swing was in
congress in 1928. he was active
in obtaining passage of an act
authorizing the secretary OF the
interior to grant an 80 foot high
way easement to the county on
condition that the county would
defray any additional cost incur
red on account OF the road inter
fering with the All-American canal
right of way.
Signed Agreement
The Imperial county board OF
supervisors, Halliday said, signed
the agreement with the depart
ment of interior to bear any add"
tional cost and the oiled road was
built.
When roads are abandoned, said
Halliday, the land usually goes
back to owners OF adjoining prop
erty. Since this road runs along
the canal. he pointed out. there
are no owners of adjacent proper
~ except the government.

(By The Associated Press)

If Anthony Eden, attaining at 39 the rank of Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs in the British cabi net, has become shining example to any other rising young statesmen, they should, European political ob servers agree, be not too envious of his progress.
 Few men of that age have inherit ed heavier burdens than this suc- cessful diplomat.
 In the foreground is the momen- tous question of what, if any, further sanctions are to be applied against Italy as aggressor in the war with Ethiopia. Mussolini has said "oil sanctions mean war" and Eden's elevation to the foreign ministry was followed by sumnnoning of naval re servists to the fascist colors. Rome considers him a champion of sanctions and one of the moving spirits in getting pledges of aid for Great Britain from other countries if her fleet, concentrated in the Med iterranean, is attacked by Italy.
 In the background is the problem Of German rearmament coupled with nazi ambitions for restoration of African colonies. Berlin is said to have notified London that the lm- tied strength allowed for Germany's new fleet is not to be taken as a standard for land and air forces. There are vast British interests at stake, too, in the Orient, where China and Japan are in delicase situation and where Nippon's foster child, Manchoukuo, IS nearing q break with the Soviet Unions good neighbor" in Outer Mongolia.

 During most of his two terms in the City Hall, Mayor Hylan ran foul of majority of the metropoli- tan newspapers, but was consistently supported by the newspapers owned by William Randolph Hearst The Mayor took considerable delight in being characterized as "a champion of the people" Tn his many viz orous addresses as such he thun- dered against "the subsidized press the traction trust" and ''the Wall Street Gang, all of whom, he con- tended were opposed to him and his policies that favored the people.
