Communist candidate for state as
sembly in San Diego, entered the
radio station at Gas. No members
of the mob were in evidence, but
groups began to gather immediate
ly. 1t was evident there was no
concerted plan of action.
Switch Pulled
When Mrs. Keckler stepped to
the microphone at 7 o'clock to in
troduce Richardson, someone out
side, in the rear, pulled a switch
controlling the radio mechanism.
Her introduction stopped for min
ute, then resumed when studio
attendant plugged in again. The
switch was pulled again when
Richardson started his talk, and
again it was plugged in. A light
above the rear door of the station
was knocked out. Six shots were
heard in rapid succession. Bullets
found their mark in the electric
meter, and the broadcast stopped.
From the front, men crowded in
to the narrow corridor next the
broadcasting room SO thick that
progress through their ranks was
impossible. T. M Sharp, chief
criminal deputy sheriff, gained en-
trance in answer to an emergency
call from Studio Manager F. M.
Bcwles. Sharp, through a small
communicating window from the
announcing booth. offered to escort
Richardson and Mrs Keckler to
their hotel. Suspicious because the
officer was not in uniform. they
refused his offer. He went to the
rear to examine the meter
Men jammed into the narrow
corridor broke the glass in the
broadcasting room door, forced an
entrance and leaped on Richard
son, meanwhile holding Mrs. Keck-
Ter off. Richardson suffered bloody
nose and black eye in the battle,
then was rushed outside.
With the streaming mob howl
ing behind him, the Communist
marched down Main street. Rotten
eggs and vegetables were hurled at
him, and a volley of kicks was aim
ed at his person. He was prevent
ed from turning to his hotel. At
Fourth street he turned south, en-
tering a vacant lot near Main street
and climbing atop a pile of timbers.
Shouts of Speech Speech!"
greeted his action.
Il will talk to you if you want
me to-" he said.
A volume of dissent drowned out
a few voices which urged that Rich
ardson be allowed to talk. He was
pushed down. and escorted to the
abroad station. where the mob
stood by, shouting epithets and
urses. while he bought one-way
ticket TO Los Angeles.
Mrs. Keckler who had been es-
corted to her hotel by police. join
ed him there before train time, and
the two waited in the station while
muttering groups proWled about
outside and police officers stood
guard.
The officers were late in reaching
the scene because the action of the
mob in silencing the radio station
also silenced the police and sher-
ifs office sending sets, directly
connected with the commercial
station. Frantic calls sent out by
desk sergeants did not reach the
officers until the mechanism at
KXO had been repaired.

All available members of the
police department were at the
Brawley-El Centro football game,
Oswalt added, to guard against the
recurrence of a riot which broke
out at a similar game last year.
The police radio, operated by re-
mote control from Station KXO,
was disrupted at the same time
as the commercial station.
Mrs. Keckler, interviewed at the
El Centre police station after Fri
day nights riot, termed the in
junction suit "a case of misman-
agement."

agement on the part of someone.
I don't know who did it."
The injunction suit, prepared by
Attorney Leo Gallagher at Los An
geles, was filed on behalf of Rich
ardson and Emma Cutler.
Restraint Sought
1t sought to restrain officers
from interfering with the radio
broadcast. The case was claSSed
by Sheriff Ware as "communistic
trick" to prevent him from remain
ing in Imperial Valley to preserve
the peace. Speaking of the Com
muniStS, Ware said:
Our experience is that their
intent is to cause rioting. If they
had acted in good faith, they
would have let US stay on the scene
to protect them"
Judge Mccormick decision held
that the peace officers in past
difficulties had acted within their
rights in enforcing the state law
against criminal syndicalism.
Meanwhile, another factor ap-
peared in the case when reports
were heard that the Federal Com
munications Commission will un-
dertake an Investigation to de-
termine responsibility for stoppage
of broadcasting over Station KXO.

Government 'Tinkering' Blamed for
TWo>Cent Drop in Cotton Last March

WASHINGTON, Feb. II. U.D -
w. L. Clayton of Texas, head of the
worlds largest cotton merchandise
ing firm, told the senate agricul-
ture committee today he believed
a break of almost two cents a
pound in the cotton market on
March II, 1885, was caused by
government tinkering".
The committee was investigating
the break, which caused a drop of
approximately $1O0,00OOOO in the
value of 13,500,000 bales of Amer
lean cotton on that day.
THE predominant price influence
during the past six years has been
the hand and voice of the govern
ment," Clayton said.
THE market has gone up and
down, not because of changing con-
ditions of supply and demand, but
in response to governmental moves
in cotton and to statements OF
government officials or rumors re-
garding the loan policy or the cot
ton control policy.
Experience, judgment, discretion
and such like quantities, ordinarily
considered of value in fixing mer-
chandizing and manufacturing pol
icies in cotton, have all but given
way to a guessing contest as to
what the next governmental move
will be-"

Sones Lumber Co.
Joins in National
Refrigerator Event

Sparkling white porcelain, gleam-
ing mirror-like chromium on long
line of completely new Westinghouse
refrigerators demonstrates to Ell
Centre how the Sones Lumber COM
pany is swinging into line with the
rest of America to celebrate the 5Oth
anniversary of Westinghouse service
to America.
Inside, outside, and on the inter-
ior completely hidden from view,
Westinghouse Golden Jubilee refrig-
orators contain values which on a
dollar -for-dollar basis surpass any
thing ever before offered by Sones in
refrigerators. "These extraordinary
values" explained Merl Sones, mer-
chandising manager, are only pos
sible because Westinghouse is cell
ebrating its Golden Jubilee, and
with a machine which symbolizeS all
that Westinghouse is capable Of"
According to Sones, the Westing-
house must be compared three ways
to be appreciated. Compare by
price," he invites, land you'll see
that the price is right, because
Westinghouse wants many homes
throughout all America to join in
the Golden Jubilee; compare for
quality, and you'll find the same
Westinghouse superlative quality,
brought up to 1886 standards of
leadership, compare for economy
of operation-Well, like always the
Westinghouse costs less to operate.
Every way you look at it, this re-
frigerator does set new standard of
value. We are proud of this refrig-
orator"

Italians Mop Up After
Overwhelming Victory

Copyright, 1886, by United Press
FIELD HEADQUARTERS, Ital-
ian Northern Army (by Courier
and Airplane TO Asmara, Eritrea,
Feb. II. U.P)-Italian regulars and
fascist militia men are hopping up
the cloud yelled, saddle shaped hill
of Amba Arabian today after their
biggest victory of the Italian-Ethi-
opian war.
The remnants of a demoralized
Ethiopian force of 10000 men are
trying to sneak in small groups
through the Italian lines to join
the main armies to the south while
the jubilant Italians toll over the
rocky hill, searching its many
caves, to rout out stragglers.
Before the Italians lies a clear
path to the rugged mass of Amba
Alagi, 1872 miles farther south,
which is expected to be the next
objective and perhaps the final
one before the rains of mid-March.
The Italians command the fertile
and strategic Enderta region be-
fore Makale and in commanding it
they can control all the passes to
the Tembien region behind their
lines in which for months lurked
warriors of Ras Siyoum to raid
them.
1t is estimated, pending an Of
fetal check, that more than 5000
Ethiopiapc have haep killed and
many times more than that wound

Goodrich Executive
Tells Company Plans
For 1886 Advertising


The automobile industry was in
strumental in leading America out
of the recent depression exactly as
it did with the lesser depression
of 1922. according to P. G. Han
derson. one of Americas leading
industrialistS.
Henderson, who is director OF adj
yertising and publicity for The d.
F.. Goodrich Co., Akron, Ohio, is IN
Los Angeles comforting with south
western Goodrich officials concern
ing advertising plans for his COM
pany in 1886.
THE automotive industry has
again pioneered in recovery from de-
preston, Henderson stated yester-
day. America has become SO thor
oughly motorized during the past 20
years that the automobile now has
taken its place on the list of basic
necessities for modern life along
with homes, food and clothing. 1t
is natural, therefore, that the &C
cumulated needs which piled up
during the depression should react
at the first evidence of recovery
with the automobile and oil indus
tries.
During 1885 our company, partic-
ularly in the Pacific Southwest,
has shown such substantial gains
in sales volue that we are safe in
saying that, as far as our observa-
ton goes here, the depression has
lifted.
LAS the result of this sales in
crease in California, Arizona, New
Mexico and Western Texas, we are
planning for 1886 one of the largest
newspaper advertising campaigns il
our history in this district.
