SURVEY TO BE
MADE OF ALLOF
RELIEF ROLLS

Since the Works Progress admin
istration contains no departmental
facilities for making personal sur
vey to determine if every person on
the rolls has no other means of
support. the task was turned over
to State Relief administration in
vestieatoTs. w. S. Filter. head of
the SRA in this county. announced.
The interviews are scheduled to
begin this week. Fitzer said. and
are expected to continue for about
month. The SRA will make rec
ommendations TO the WPA at the
conclusion of the survey. he said,
and the WPA viii do the releasing
from their rolls as they see fit.
The SRA and the WPA agencies
in Imperial county have kept in
close touch. Fitzer declared. and
have cooperated in handling the
situation locally. He does not an
ticipate many changes as a result
of the survey as the light case load
has enabled WPA officials to main
tain a check upon the activities of
the persons on their rolls.
WPA work was considered as en-
ployInent and not as relief, he
pointed out Those who are taken
from WPA rolls and who have no
other means of support. said Fitzer,
either will be assisted in obtain
ing private employment or will be
transferred to SRA relief rolls.
The curtailment of federal funds
for WPA projects is believed to be
responsible for the ordering of the
survey. Information to be used by
the next congress, too. he said is
also sought from the survey.

BEER, WINE TAX
ASSESSM ENTS
CONTINUE RISE

SACRAMENTO, Nov. 4. - The
California excise tax assessments on
beer and wine continued for the
nineteenth consecutive month to
show an increase over those of the
corresponding month of the pre-
ceding year, according to John C.
Corbett, member of the state board
of equalization, who today an
nounced assessments of $173,33l,l2
for the month of October.
THE increase of $19,342.81 over
the assessments for October 1885"
said Corbett, represents gain of
1876 per cent
The seasonal nature of beer and
wine sales is clearly shown by
comparison of the number of gal
Ions Of beer and wine sold in Octo-
Der with the number of gallons
sold in the preceding month. The
increase in wine sales from 1,725,71
gallons for September to 2,010,036
gallons for October was far out
weighed by the decrease in beer

GASOLINE TAX
ASSESSM ENTS
OFF SLIGHTLY

SACRAMENTO, Nov. "a. - Cali
fornia gasoline tax assessments for
october reached total of 4,l48,-
761 30, it was announced here today
by Ray Edgar, member of the state
board of equalization.
With a seasonal decline in gaso-
line sales reasonably to be expect
ed during the month of October, it
was observed by Edgar that the tax
assessments for the month were
only approximately $4,000 less than
those Of September, a decrease Of
less than one per cent.
"While the gasoline tax assess
ments declined only slightly from
those of September" said Edgar,
''the October assessments show a
decrease of six and one-half per
cent from those of the correspond
ing month of 1885. An analysis of
the monthly tax assessments for
1885 and 1896 indicates, however.
that it would be entirely incorrect
to infer from this decrease that
there had been any slump in the
improved business conditions which
have been reflected in the increased
gasoline tax assessments of recent
months. Such an inference would
be unSound, inasmuch as the as
sessments for October, 1885, for
some unexplained reason were out
OF line with the assessments for
other months, being about $500. 900
over those OF September and $780,
600 over those of November of that
year and accordingly, tend to rem
der of little or no value a COM
parison with the assessments for
October, 1886"

former Norwegian premier and for
eign minister, TO resign from the
Nobel peace committee.
So serious was the incident re-
garded that it has been suggested
that the committee received word
Ossietzky was likely to refuse the
award.
OSSietzky is AZ, and war veter-
an After the World War he made
a scant living by maintaining g
small newspaper clipping bureau.
Then Ossietzky began to acquire
an international reputation for his
militant Pacifist articles. In 1928
he was made chief editor Of the
German weekly Weltbuehne. Twice
he was arraigned in court for ar
ticleS which appeared in the pub
lication, though he did not write
them.
In 1881 OSSietzky was sentenced
to l8 months in prison on a charge
of treason, result of an article
charging Germany was secretly
building up its air force. In sec
ond trial he was charged with
slandering the German army but
was acquitted. OSsietzky served
the l8-month sentence and went
back to his desk.
In March, 1888, Immediately af-
ter the still mysterious fire in
Berlin, OSsietzky was arrested. He
went from one prison camp to
another. The Nazi department OF
and public enlighten-
ment announced last summer that
he had been released and sent
to a hospital for treatment. But
he is reported broken.
Hitherto the Nobel peace prize
has been given to men who worked
and spoke for peace in the high
places of the world. In honoring
Ossietzky, the Nobel committee, at
risk Of angering Nazi Germany,
honored a man who has suffered
for it in prisons and it is reported,
would still be in prison were his
condition not such that his death
was feared.
