!. ANT|-CR|ME PLAN
Gov. Lehman Says Group Is
Trying to Kill 60-Point
Program.
By the Associated Press.

ny tne Associated Press.
ALBANY, N. Y, February 24.-Gov.
Herbert H. Lehman put his 60-point
anti-crime program in the hands of
the public today, charging q pow
erful group of lawyer legislators" with
trying to kill his plan.
He singled out three men, includ-
ing a Tammany Democrat. as leaders
in a scheme 'to strangle and defeat
las much of this program as they
dared"
They are Assemblymen Horace M.
Stone. Republican chairna" Of the
Assembly Judiciary Committee;
James r. Robinson. Republican chair
man of the Assembly Codes Commit
tee, and John A. Byrnes, Tammany
Democrat. All are lawyers.
= Unhesitatingly the Republican
leadership in the Assembly accepted
the challenge under the leadership of
Stone, who has termed the crime
control proposals go per cent rot"
2 Meantime, Speaker Irving M. Ives
said that 20 or more anti-crime bills
now on the Assembly calendar will
be acted upon tonight in an effort
to clear the decks of all crime con-
troll proposals. Thus far, only eight
OF the threescore measures have
passed both houses and gone to the
Governor for his signature.
The Governor, speaking last night
over a Statewide radio hook-up
struck firmly to his statement of a
week ago that powerful groups" are
attempting to scuttle his proposals.
Isn't it self-evident." he asked
shat there are powerful groups who
have determined to kill as much of ii
Ianti-crime program) as they dare?"
Turning bitterly on the Republicans
the Governor accused them Of going
back on their promises.
Where is there any evidence of the
cooperation which the Republican
legislators pledged in their statement
of December, 1885? What has hap
pened to their promise to continue
their efforts to strengthen the laws
for the prevention of crime? What
has happened to their determination
then announced to give the subject
more than mere lip service?"
Lehman's address followed adoption
by the Republican-controlled Assem-
bly, of a resolution demanding that
the Governor substantiate his charges
that powerful groups" are attempt.
ing to kill his crime control agenda
and that he name any legislators
whose votes he believes were con-
trolled.

Speaking before the second annual

IN LULL PRIOR
TO STORM
BY JAMES L. KILGALLEN

ny JAMES ~. NkACAAACN
NEW YORK, April 9 0.N.S0
With AL Smith biding his time,
Jim Farley off on q cruise to
Bermuda and James j. Dooling,
the Tammany leader, vacationing
in Hot Springs, the Democratic
situation hereabout is quiet. 1T
is the 'lull before the storm"
stage.
Things will liven up about April
rs when the jefferson Day ban
quet will be held. President
Roosevelt will attend and so will
many prominent big-wigS. The
affair promises to be one of the
biggest of it's kind ever held.
Col. Henry Breckenridge, critic
OF the Roosevelt administration,
is meanwhile quietly conducting
his campaign for the Democratic
presidential nomination.
Tammany Suspicious
Tammany approaches the cam
paign in a not-too-happy mood.
Down at "the hall" they regard
Farley with suspicion. Farley is
reported to be making efforts to
reorganize the Tammany leader
ship and that, of course, does not
sit well with Dooling and his
friends.
Rumor has it Farley is trying
to get Dooling out and replace
him with Secretary of State Ed
ward j. Flynn. The Roosevelt Ad-
ministration's New York patron
age Is being distributed through
Flynn, a fact that gals Dooling
and other Tammany Hall chief
tainS.
Farley Won't Quit
Ill feeling at Tammany Hall
has been intensified by President
Roosevelt's appointment of George
Combs to be chairman of the
National Emergency Council for
New York. Combs is not what
Tammany regards as a New
Yorker. He came from Missouri
a few years ago.
Confirmation of Combs ap-
pointment has been held up in
the Senate. It is said both Sena-
tors Copeland and Wagner are
opposed to the Combs appoint
ment.
Farley before sailing for Der.
muda denied he had any inten-
ton Of resigning either as Post
master General or as chairman
OF the Democratic national COM
mittee. He said the only people
concerned about his two jobs are
those who would rather didn't
hold any,"

through the board of trede that the

On the average of $50 booklets
are mailed out from the office every
week in the year in answer TO di-
rect requests received for informa-
ton relative to Imperial Valley.
More than 10000 booklets were
distributed in 1885 through this

VOLTS GO
INTO JOB
Vital Power Keeps
Work Going
At Dam

Thirty three thousand volts of
electricity, a lightning bolt con-
trolled along the slim length of
copper wires, is delivered by the
United States government to con-
tractors at Imperial Dam and along
the All American canal TO provide
the vital energy necessary to the
life of the construction job.
Into the desert wastes that line
the Colorado river where Imperial
Dam is to be thrown across the
current, these copper wires bring
daylight after SundcWn, so that
men can work the "a hours around
in three shifts. They bring, also,
the energy that operates power
shovels, machine shop equipment,
heavy duty engines and tiny
motors. Leaping along those
slender lines is an energy that is
the difference between desert and
civilization.
The bureau of reclamation
brought the electrical energy into
the area over line constructed by
It's own workmen under Supervi-
sion of its own engineers. They
tied their line onto that of the
Southern Sierras Power company,
their source of supply. From the
lines near Laguna Dam the gov
ernment wires drew line to the
place where Imperial Dam will be.
Those government lines carry 49,
900 volts of electricity.
In the Imperial Dam area the
contractors erected their trans
formers, pulled the shock of power
down TO 2300 volts at each plant,
and sent the energy speeding over
private wires to each of the many
jobs, shops, offices and homes on
the contracts and in the camps,
Thus does power help build the
project which may pay for itself
in turn, by developing power.

MAJ. CRAWFORD
WELL KNOWN IN
CANAL CAMPS

Have you met Major Crawford"
Nobody will remain for long near
the panorama Of All American
canal construction without being
asked this question. 1t deals with
Maj. L. d. Ora Wford, interesting
manager who is in direct general
charge of the w. f. Callahan Con-
struction company's 30-mile sector
Of tho canal construction job. The
next question, if the answer to the
first is affirmative, probably will
be:
Have you flCXn with him?'
Major Crawford, a veteran of the
World war, uses an automobile only
for short jaunts. When he wants
to 60 to his company's hcadquart-
erS at ST. Louis or Dallas, or to
Los Angeles or Florida, he limbs
into his speedy. modern airplane,
manipulates the CONTROLS and flies
there. His flying hours are count
less, his stunting something to be
avoided by the Squeamish. His fa-
yorite view of the All American
canal is an aerial view.
Flying is not the majors work,
albeit it might become that if the
u. S. reserve corps were ever called
out. He is construction specialist
with 25 years of experience in the
one company on all sorts of jobs.
Maj. CraWford's pets. however
are the giant draglnes and other
pieces of heavy equipment used by
his firm. Working principally on
dirt excavation jobs for Callahan,
he spends much of his time de-
signing and improving designs for
draglines, buckets and other pieces
Of equipment. His accomplishments
in this field are recognized through
out the engineering world.

from the ever present menace of
interference from a foreign coun-

greater Part of its length through
Mexico. With the ironing out of
present international problems, it
will leave the district free TO tran

municipal corporation operating en-
tirCly in the United States.
Smaller Farms
Another possible result of The All
American canal and the develop
mcnt it will bring to lands now
un rri2atCd is the breaking up of
present large land holdings into
smaller individual acreascs with
more intensified farming practices
And a resulting increase in per
l-uCrC production. This would bring
a greater number of resident farm
crs to the valley, reducing the num-

Heorulation.
Through the larger agricultural
population inevitable under All
American development will come
larger population in cities and
towns dedicated to serving the
needs of the valleys farms. No
reliable estimate can be made of
the probable population of the val
lev in the years between 1910 and
1850. 1t will be large, that is all
anyone knows
Reduced Expenses
Reduced operating expenses
brought about by elimination OF
the Mexican complications, absence
of silt in irrigation water and de-
velopment of power resources will
have the result of materially slic-
ing the assessment leVies made by
the district, reliable estimates prove.
Additional savings will be made
possible to individual farmers by
the absence of silt which now fills
up their bitches and makes con-
slant cleaning necessary.
Floods Past
The canals sister project Boulder
Dam, already has freed Imperial
Valley from the fear of disasterous
floods which have torn through
levees and caused countless eXpendi-
lures in the past. BY the same tok-
EN-, it has removed the fear of scar
ing drought such as withered the
valleys crops in 1884, storing

PREHISTORIC MONSTERS

That great prehistoric monsters
formerly roamed over what is now
the deserts of the delta region is
evidenced by the number of large
fossil bones uncovered by the eX-
cavators who are building the desert
stretches of the canal west of Pilot
Knob.
