LOS ANGELES, Feb. 8.
(UP)-A n ol d. fashioned
rock pile was established
here today as an added men
ace to harrassed hOboes and
tramps who managed to evade the
foreign legion" of the Los Angeles
police department and enter Cali
fornia from points east.
The edict that vagrants will be
forced to make little ones out of
big ones" came from Chief James
E. Davis, who from the security
of his office in the huge white
stone city hall, directed the most
unprecedented police move in the
history of California.
One hundred and twenty six Los
Angeles policemen are stationed at
strategic points on the states bor-
derS-from the sand dunes of the
Imperial Valley desert to snow
locked Truckee in the high Sierras-.-
under orders to stop all intinerants
headed for Los Angeles and send
them back east.
Chief Davis said his foreign le-
gion' reported from the Oregon line
to the Mexican border that hoboes
are becoming hard to find. The
winter influx to California practi-
cally has stopped since the patrols
were stationed last Monday.
1t is for the benefit of the few
tramps who sneak through the lines
that the rock pile will be established
en- Monday, Davis said He ironical-
ly referred to his new idea as part

Davis announced that 122 vag-
rants have already been rounded
up for the rock pile treatment. He
also said that one youth, Robert
E. Martin, 10, who was picked up
in dance hall, allegedly confessed
to seven burglaries in Portland, Ore

LIBRARY SAFE

SAYS KNIGHTS

Ell Centro's city library, which
recently moved into the offices in
the Fox Imperial theatre, now oc-
cupies a building which is consid-
cred one of the safest in the city
from the standpoint of earthquake
resistance, according to Philip W.
knights, city engineer.
In spite of rumors to the con-
trary, the theatre building never
has been condemned by the state
or by any other official body, the
engineer said, and the city build
ing department has it listed as
earthquake resistant. These ru-
mors have persisted for sevenal
years but have no foundation,
knights said.
The library board and the city
council were said to have been
criticized for moving from one
condemned building into another
but the criticism is not founded in
fact, according to the engineer.
