Joseph P. Kennedy has gone to
California to begin his study Of
Paramount Pictures, Inc, it was
learned today.
Mr.. Kennedy on Friday accepted
the post of special adviser to the
corporation to survey the produc-
ton end in an effort to reduce
costs and eliminate losses. He will
be gone about three weeks.
Rumors were current Of large
compensation the former, chair
man Of the Securities and Elk
change Commission was to secure
for his work. One was that he
was given an option on a big
block of Paramount common at
Sc a share, compared with cur
rent prices above So.
The reports were officially de-
MED with the explanation that
Mr. Kennedy's compensation was
to be determined after he made
his preliminary studies and filed
recommendations.
"A factor in the compensation
rumors was Mr.. Kennedy's revela-
ton recently that he was paid
$50, 900 for his work on revamp.
ing the capitalization Of Radio Cor
poration of America. OF this sum
he paid $4,000 in statistical fees.

The decline in the stock market is partly
cause and partly result Of this development of
bearish sentiment People are apt to accept
such decline as forecasting poorer business,
Losses in the stock market quickly affect
urban automobile sales and other semiluxury
buying. Behind the market reaction, how
ever, lies the deep feeling among large
majority of business men that radical politi-
cal interference with economic life is tending
to cause bad economic results, and that bust
ness cannot be really good under conditions
of such great uncertainty.

Caue-in Discovered
In OutfdU Sewer

A five-foot cave-in in the old I'll
Centre outfall sewer was discovered
SATURDAY. afternoon two miles north
of Imperial and a crew of eight men
began repair work Sunday morning,
according to Phillip w. knights. city
engineer. This is the thirty-tourth
cave-in since 1881.
The break was discovered when
the regular Saturday patrol was
made, knights said. The line at
this poiiT is IA feet deep.
Bacterial action in the sewage
eats the lime in the mortar between
the bricks. knights said, and the
bricks fall in. This permits the
sewage TO penetrate the earth sur
rounding the pipe and cave-ins fol-
low.
The danger in repairing the line.

ton Of st Xer gas. Three men have
lost their lives as a result of inhal-
ing sewer gas accumulated in the

SURVEY OF TOMATO DISEASE
PERILS MADE IN INLAND AREA

That the tomato disease prevalent
in some fields in the inland area
is. IN many instances. a combina-
ton OF two diseases. is the opinion
Of DR.. Michael Shapovalov, toma-
to disease authority of the U. S.
department OF agriculture, and o.
p A. Miller plant pathologist for
the University of California.
These two men visited the inland
district late in February for field
observation of the disease problem.
Laboratory findings of d. H. H. P
SEVERN, entomologist of the Univer-
sity of California, showed that some
tomato plants are infected with the
virus disease curly top, the appear
ance of the dying vines in the field
corroborating this conclusion.
Furthermore the extreme dark
purple color on the foliage of dis
eased plants which are still making
growth indicates the presence of the
disease psyllid yellows according to
DR.. Shapovalov. Some plants APP
pear to have one disease or the other
and some have both.
Also Attacks Beets
Curly top disease not only attacks
tomatoes but sugar beets and other
wild and cultivated plants. 1t is
spread from diseased to healthy
plants only by the sugar beet leaf
hopper, said Frank C. Beyschlag,
farm advisor, in commenting on the
situation. These hoppers are one
eighth inch long and pale green to
grayish brown in color, they feed and
breed in desert regions on the salt
bush. There is no control known for
either curly top disease of tomatoes
or the beet leaf hoppers which spread
this virus disease
These insects are less numerous in
the valley in cool weather and do
not attack plants growing in the
shade as much as those in the full
sunlight. There seems to be little
means of avoiding the disease in the
valley winter tomato crop.
Fsyllid yellows is induced by q

COUGHLM HITS
PRODUCTION
FOR PROFIT

DETROIT, March 16. UP-Father
Charles f. Coughlin attacked the
"unsound and unsocial" principle
of production for profit" in in
dustry and suggested production
for use at a profit as means of
providing maximum year-around
security for labor, III his regular
weekly sermon yesterday.
To conform with his suggestion.
Father Coughlin said employers
must operate their factories even
when no profit accrues to them If
the public good or pecessity re-
quires it.
The sacred 6 per cent of profit
to the coiners and lenders of monS
seems to be the first rule of our
harsh industrial life" he said.
* x X social justice teaches that
if the sacred 6 per cent must be
paid in person and out of season
on specific dates to the owners OF
capital, the more sacred annual
wage must be paid in season and
out of season to the laborer who
has contributed his body and soul
to function with capital
