McIver did not take the witness
stand during his trial. He Offered

1t follows:
ITO THE PEOPLE OF
IMPERIAL VALLEY:
After an association with you
covering a period of twenty three
years it seems to me, considering
the turn of events that a brief
statement should be made in order
that your condemnation or appro-
baton may be guided Alright.
Il say, turn OF events, but should
rightfully say the race of events,
as l saw the destiny of Imperial
Valley being swiftly nodded and
shaped to the end that a great en-
pire may be builded.
"The part I played in this race
is familiar to most of you but
doubt if many of you know just
what that part r,ally was and
what diligence was necessary during
trying times and under pressing de-
mands to fully meet the eXactions
Of the law as we'll as the patience
and tact required behind the scenes
can say that throughout the full
fillment of the enterprise was an
honest endeavor honesty of purpose
and honest execution.
I'm my conscience this honesty
still prevails and in this instance
believe 1 am right though it has
been found that I was technically
wrong which makes me mediate at
the effort to prove me guilty of one
technical error and ponder at ir-
regularitieS and technical errors per-
petrated in the districts past and
present.
I'm my term of office as treasurer
the records will show that I re-
ceived, handled and iisbursed no
less than fifty millions of dollars and
no finger has yet pointed to one
misappropriation except to say that
l paid myself my own salary which
l believe is justly due me. AS pur-
chasing agent of the district no mer-
chant can say or charge that l ever
accepted one token in return for
the business and as secretary many
will remember how often I refused
gifts for services rendered.
This is not self aggandizement
but a duty to my friends to show
that their confidence was not mis-
placed and feel that they are in no
way responsible for my condem-
nation and, after all, reputation is
only what men may think of you,
character is what God knows of
you.
THE law may exact its pound OF
flesh"

The issue is the CLIO. steel un-

should not sign if, as they have
insisted, they are willing to make
a verbal agreement.
A delegation claiming to repre-

Roosevelt COnfers on
Aiding. 40 Million
Underprivileged

WASHINGTON, June 16.
(UP) - President Roosevelt
sought today through a Sc
ries of White House confer
ences with legislative lead
ers to spur action on those sections
of his Redistribution of national
wealth" program which are pend
ing before congress.
Embarked on a new policy OF
forcing division of a greater part
of the country's income with what
he describes as 40000,000 under
privileged persons, the president
scheduled these two meetings with
administration, senate and house
officials:
l. A conference with Secretary
of Treasury Henry Morgenthau, jr..

Magill; Sen. Pat Harrison, D.,
Miss; and Rep. Robert l.. Dough-
ton, D., N. c., to discuss the con-
gresSional income tax dodging in
vestigation
The joint senate-house commit
tee hearing will start tomorrow
with Morgenthau as the first wit
ness for the administration on its
charge that a small group OF
wealthy persons have been evading
and avoiding income tax payments.
2. A conference with the Demo-
cratic house steering committee to
discuss the status of New Deal
bills in the house which form part
of the presidents income redistri-
button program.
Mr.. Roosevelt said he would pre-
sent his redistribution of income
program to the nation in more de-
tail sometime this summer in
radio "fireSide chat" or another
press conference discussion. A sur
vey indicated, however, that the
administration already has started
moving in these developments:

financing a public power system on
the All American canal, voters in
every precinct of the district flock
ed to the polling places in heat
of interest not equalled for many
years.
Every type of voter was repre-
sented in the heavy balloting. East
side precincts in Brawley and Ell
Centro reported a heavy deluge
of ballots. Rural precincts through
out the district began in the early
morning hours to build up a total
expected to run into the thousands.
Everywhere in the district, pre-
cincts were following the same
trend noticed in check of city
hall polling places in the major
towns of the valley shortly after
noon At Holtville, 168 had cast
ballots at the city hall, 109 had
voted at the CaleXico city hall,
228 at Ell Centro, 104 in Imperial,
and in Brawley, seat of the irriga-
ton districts diesel plant, 339 had
voted.
Rural precincts in the district
showed a vote as heavy or heavier
than those in the cities. McCabe
precinct, where the total vote is
usually about 100, counted 81 Ioal-
lots cast at noon.
In both cities and rural areas,
the heaviest vote was expected be-
tween and Z pm, when both

The district president paused q
minute. Then:

Out OF The Past
The power campaign also brought
a timely memory to Mrs. Harry En-
skine. 1t was several years ago, she
relates. when a canal near her home
forsook its banks and started rum

there. so Mrs ErSkine grabbed a
shovel and set to work, trying to
stem the flood She had about CIV

ated chap in faded overalls and
wrinkled vest came ambling down
the road, picked up another shovel
and pitched in. For about an hour
the fellow, whose cheek-boneS look

through his face, worked and
sWeated. Finally the canal was al
patched. -.r

marked and walked off,

thing. Ernie was working on a case
out of the sheriff's office-and
couldn't attend.
On The Side
Among the more cheering side

the brilliant teamwork Of Presi-
