From the company's resumes of
her story, it appeared that Pilot
Otto Ferguson, flying blind in a
thick fog. was unaware of his
danger until a split second be-
fore the giant. twin-motored Doug

mountain top shortly after 10 8,

Knitting known fragments to-

Feruson actually believed he was
coming into the Pittsburgh air
port. some 40 miles north of the
scene of the crash. At approx

Miss Granger he was going to

into his radio telephone:

This message, picked up at TWA

ed after which luncheon, and a
bountiful one, was served by the
creamerieS of the valley, the crowd
being entertained by the Swiss band.
The optimism of the dairymen
was reflected in the talk by Gordon,
who, in the afternoon discussed
the dairy improvement program in
California, pointed out the ne
cessity for herd improvement, feed
ing improvement and management
of diaries.
He laid considerable emphasis
on possibilities for success of the
industry and discussed the raising
Of replacement stock for the Los
Angeles market. pointing out the
advantage Imperial Valley has by
reason Of its geographic location
and feed supply. Imperial Valley
could well take care Of this market
he declared, instead of having stock
shipped in from Arizona and east
ern states.
George L. Winwright, assistant
farm advisor, talked on the same
subject, and illustrated his points
by actual figures taken from the
records of the local COW testing
association, showing the Importance
of pure bred sires in raising herd
production, of an adequate culling
program and Of good feeding meth

tGOnlllQeQ from rage -
Owing to the small area encom-
/ passed within the zone of opera
! tions. departmental officials contend
that rigid restrictions are necessary
to prevent uncontrolled building
operations on what is federal with
drawn land exclusively under the
jurisdiction of the reclamation de-
partment at this time.
Sanitary conditions. lack of avail
able domestic water facilities, re-
stricted travel routes, heavy truck
traffic and many other conditions
create extra hazards which casual
observers fail to recognize, said the
officials. They cited the fact that
the National CommiSSary people
have gone TO great expense to COM
ply with the terms Of their contract
and that as a matter of equity they
must be given departmental sup
port according to the rigid terms of
their contract in order that they
may recover their heavy invest
ment during the construction per-
iod involved.
While the National Company has
jurisdiction only within the con-
fines of the general contractors
camp at Imperial dam-site it would,
authorities in charge declared, be
impractical to show partialty by
granting other concessions to some
and not to all who seek them on
other portions of the project.
According to the terms of the
general contract entered into each
contractor and sub-contractor has
full jurisdiction over his individual
camp and may say who shall and
who shall not engage in or solicit
business within such camp confines,
reclamation chiefs explained.
Only employees of the reclama-
ton department and the contract
ors are permitted to reside on the
land between the two dams and
every effort is being made by the
department to safeguard health and
to prevent accidents within this
area.
One piece of decided land lays ad-
jacent to reclamation property and
the owner thereof is now developing
a townsite upon the property This
is the only area not subject to de-
partmental supervision.
Reclamation officials expressed a
desire to foster, to the fullest eX-
tent, all legitimate business upon
the part Of local merchants but de-
clared that they are, at all times,
guided by the terms of the con-
tract in force and the nature of the
hazards created by the congested
area involved in the zone Of active
operations.
While recognizing the difficulties
involved as expressed by reclama-
ton officials, several local business
men who have come in conflict with
the management Of the National
CommiSsary company and the re-
strictions which they seek to i'm
pose, are inclined to take issue with
the department concerning the
justice of granting to the contract
ors the privilege of ordering legiti-
mate solicitors and statesmen from
their camp sites. They claim this
is unfair TO local business men and
also to canal employees and their
families who are thus compelled
10 trade with the National COM
pany or to travel many miles to
procure their daily requirements.

LEADERS SEEK
ACCORD ON
FARM BILL

Eager that Congress approve the
Administration 500 million dol
lar farm bill before Spring plant
ing season, Congressional agricul-
tural leaders were slated to begin
conferences today to iron out dif-
ferences between House and Sen
ate versions of the bill.
The bill was sent to conference
Saturday when the Senate re-
jected House amendments at re-
quest of Senator Smith Cd Of
South Carolina, chairman Of the
Senate agricultural committee,
and co-sponSor of the Senate bill.
Senate conferees appointed by
vice-president Garner were: Dem.
ocrats, Murphy. of Iowa; Pope, OF
Idaho, and Smith; Republicans,
Capper, of Kansas, and McNary,
of oregon. McNary. however, de-
clined to serve. The minority
leader previously denounced the
bill as unconstitutional, q sub
terfuge and a sham" Smith said
he would propose Senator Frazier,
Of North Dakota. to serve in place
of McNary. House conferees will
be appointed today by Speaker
Byrns.
Smith objected in particular to
an amendment which would per
nit tenant farmers and share
croppers to receive benefit from
payments for land taken out Of
food crop production and devoted
to soil improvement and erosion
prevention crops.
Anther controversial House
amendment is one which would
require the Secretary Of Agricul.
ture to establish a pre-war parity
between farm and non.farm in
come and keep production above
the 1920-29 consumption level. A
similar plan was rejected by the
Senate in an amendment offered
by Senator Wagner, CD Of New

RICHMOND, Feb. 24.-Dele-
gate Ralph H. Daughton, Of Nor
folk city, who is a native Of Wash
ington, will introduce a joint reso-
luton In the house today asking
the general assembly to memorial.
ize Congress to adopt q Constitu.
tional amendment for adoption by
the States giving the people Of the
District Of Columbia q vote in ma.
tional affairs.
The former WaShingtonian, who
was born and reared in the
neighborhood Of Twentieth and N
Streets Northwest, offered q SINH.
lar resolution at the last session
but 1t was killed in committee. At
this session, Mr.. Daughton Is chair.
man Of the committee on Federal
relations of the house, before
which committee the resolution
probably will be referred.
Specifically. Mr.. Daughton's res.
Oluti0n asks q constitutional
amendment so that Congress can
give to the residents Of the Dis.
trict the right of representa- tion
in the Senate and the House of
Representatives as we'll as a voice
In the electoral college.
The resolution asks that copies
Of the resolution, il adopted, be
forwarded to Virginia's repreSen.
tatives in the national Congress.
Mr.. Daughton publicly and pri
vately, has long condemned the
present system which denies ap
proximately half a million per
sons Of q voice In the affairs OF
the nation. There Is no request
In his resolution that the presen:
District government be revamped
although Mr.. Daughton Is known
not to be in sympathy with many
phases Of 1t.
He Is q Son-in-law Of the late
Hugh T. TaggSrt. OF Georgetown
who prosecuted Guiteau, slayer OF
President Garfield. After leaving
Washington, Mr.. Daughton was
head of the Department Of Justice
office in Norfolk for 10 years, re
signing that office to engage in
the practice Of law there.
