Contemplated

No detailed protest against

been filed with Secretary of
Interior Harold l.. Ickes by
governors of states in the upper

informed Evan T. Hewes chair
man of the Imperial Irrigation dis
trict board of directors in a letter
received Tuesday
Ickes told Hewes that no hear
ing relative to the protests was
planned by the department: The
letter was sent in response to
HeWeS' kilograms assuring Ickes
that the protests were actuated by
enemies of the power development
program of the district without
the governors having been provid-
ed with the facts.
District officials also will be pro-
vided with copies of any protests
or information which may be filed
in relation to the power develop,
ment along the canal and will be
given an opportunity to be present
should hearings be scheduled.
The letter was read to district
directors at their session at head
quarters Tuesday morning.
HeweS said he was gratified that
1ckes realized the protests were
planned by the upper basin state
governors before they had been
informed of the facts and at the
instigation of well known enemies
Of district power development.

"The fact that no detailed pro-

soundness of the statements made
by district officials"
Several weeks ago governors OF
the upper basin states announced
they would protest the power de
velopment along the All American
canal because its sale would be in
competition to Boulder Dam power
sales and jopardize the income

FLAX PLANT
DISCUSSED BY
C0UNC|LMEN
Suitable Sites for
Valley Factory
Considered

Suitable sites for the flax
factory proposed to be erect
ed in Ell Centre were dis
cussed by Ell Centre city
councilmen at their meeting
Monday night but no action was
taken.
Harold Tyler of the chamber Of
commerce described a 10 acre site
on the east side of town which
might be available should expert
ments on Imperial Valley flax prove
satisfactory to an eastern linen
manufacturing concern. Tyler de-
scribed the advantages of an addl-
tional payroll and the profit flax
raisers would realize from the util-
ization of the wasted straw in the
manufacture of a by-product.
Since nothing can be done in
regard to the selection of a build
ing site for the unidentified eastern
company, the council decided to
await developments before entering
further into the project
A resolution endorsing the candi-
dacy of G. F.. Reynolds as a member
of the maritime commission was
passed by the council at the request
of Robert Hays, manager of the El
Centro chamber of commerce. Rey-
nolds, according to Hays, has been
helpful to Imperial Valley in the
past in obtaining satisfactory ship
ping rates for valley products. II
is expected Reynolds will become
a member of the Interstate com
merce commission after serving two
years on the maritime commission.

states of the solid south will indi-
cate the extent to which New Deal
recovery methods have alienated
conservative southern Democrats
Today's test vote is in Arkansas.
General and emphatic reverses
for candidates closely associated

Gov. ALT M. Landon repeating the
achievement of Herbert c. Hoover

North Carolina, Texas and Virginia
voted in 1923 for Mr.. Hoover and
against Alfred E. Smith.
Senatorial primaries in the next

outlook is for uniform New Deal
victories in the nomination of
candidates opposed by men who
challenge the New Deal in vary
