800 white men chained their VIC
tins 10 a tree while they tor
tured them with fire.
The Negroes were Roosevelt
Townes. IS. and "Bootjack" Nc
Daniel, alias Hubbard, 26. They
were accused of numbering George
S. Windham, white operator OF q
nearby crossroads grocery store
last Dec. 80.
The flaming blow torch. first
was applied to Mcdaniel. Scream
ing for mercy, he admitted aiding
Townes in the murder-robbery, but
claimed the other Negro fired the
shots which killed the white store
keeper
Still screaming from his burns,
Mcdaniel was shot to death by a
hail of pistol bullets from the
mobsmen.
Thomas struggled against the
chains which bound him to the
tree as his companion was shot 70
death. Then the mob turned their
blow torches to him.
AS the flames licked against his
body, the Negro repeated the con-
fession he allegedly made TO Off
GERS after his capture in Memphis
recently.
Finally, almost unconscious after
the ordeal, the Negro slumped in
his chains. The mob piled brush
around the tree, poured gasoline
over the wood, drenched his body
and ignited it. He was burned to
death.
A third Negro, Shorty" Dorroh,
also seized by the mob, was beat
en- severely but was not tortured.
He was given orders TO get out
of this state"

Deal Moves
Near New
Reform Era

| WASHINGTON, April Il.
! CUP)-The Roosevelt admin
istration is driving steadily
toward reestablishing social
and economic reform legisla-
ton stricken down by the supreme
court. a survey disclosed last night
All OF the seven major admini-
stration acts voided by The court
have been revived at least parity
in substitute measures carefully
drafted 70 conform with the
courts delineation Of federal pow
erS.
This revival has progressed sim
ultaneously with President Roose-
velt's drive for reorganization Of
the supreme court without which
he believes his detectives cannot
be accomplished.
The record of invalidated admin
istration measures. and substitute
legislation 10 achieve their pur-
poses, shows:
/. NRA hot oil" control. The
substitute Connally act prohibits
interstate shipment OF hot OIL
produced in violation OF state con-
servation laws.
2. Railway Retirement Act. Sep
arate tax and pension bills were
enacted, with collections and pay
ments handled through the treas
ury's general fund, TO overcome
court objections TO direct pension
taxes. Labor and railway leaders
have agreed on a compromise 10
end litigation against the new plan.
3. FraZier-Lemke Farm Mort
gage Moratorium Act. A revised
measure. safeguarding creditors in
terestS, was upheld by the supreme
court this term.
4. NRA. The court yesterday up
held the Wagner-Connery Labor
Relations Act, which revised and
strengthened collective bargaining
provisions of old section IA. Var
ious proposals for re-enacting wage
and hour regulation and other pro-
visions are pending.
5. AAA. Benefit payments under
the Substitute Soil Conservation act
provide an indirect means of farm
production control.
6. Progressing Taxes. A bill call
ing for a processing tax on sugar
is pending in congress. Secretary
of Agriculture Henry A. Wallace
has indicated he may ask new tax
ing powers to control other crop
production.
7. Guffey Coal Control Act. y
substitute measure, providing for
regulation of prices and trade prac-
tices but lacking labor provisions
outlawed in the original act, awaits
only Mr.. Roosevelt's signature to
become law.
The only other new deal meas
ure thrown out was the Municipal
Bankruptcy Act, not considered
essential to administration policy

er. The mortar between the brick
and the hollow tile has no strength,
and bricks can be removed with bare
hands.
Surveys Made
Due to general demand, another
survey was made by d. Easton Her
raid, a well-known architect of Long
Beach. whose experience, in the
construction of earthquake-resistant
buildings has been extensive. He,
too, condemned the building as un-
safe and reported that it was inn
possible to remodel it for library
purposes without tearing it down
to its foundation.
Herald has been employed by
the Long Beach school board to
plan the raconditioning and recon-
struction OF its school buildings. He
was also employed to plan and re-
build the Long Beach municipal Ii
brary.s In Long Beach, the voters
decided To remodel their library
after the earthquake. Actual eX-
perience proved that the cost of
remodeling was more than the cost
Of a new building.
Financial Cost
1t is the plan to amortize the
proposed bonds over a 20-year
period. This will result in an an
nual bond principal payment OF
$l750 per year and an annual in
terest payment, provided we OBJ
tain the anticipated interest rate
Of 4 per cent, ranging from $140C
the first year to $40 the Goth year
This with the average interest bur.
len of approximately $700 per veal
will make a total average cost Il
the taxpayer of $2450 a year, which
will mean a tax of $.00025 on ou
present assessed valuation of $40,
500 900. This in turn makes a rat,
of 2l2 cents ON the 500 valuation.
The library board will not as
sumo the responsibility of invitin,
the citizens, especially the schoo
children, OF this community int,
any building which has been con
demned by a competent architect a
unsafe. and the board feels tina
citizens, when they are prop
erly appI:sed of the situation, vii

Retailers Told
To Pay Up Taxes

Retailers of tangible personal
property in San Diego and Imperial
counties are warned by Louis c.
Marie, administrator for the state
board of equalization in this dis
trict, that where the merchant
is delinquent in renting tax to
the state or where he Wilfully vio-
lateS provisions OF the tax by re-
fuSal or negligence in filing returns.
or fails to remit the tax, the board
Of equalization, after issuing a warn
ing to the merchant. and the ac-
count is not paid within ten days
OF the warning notice, will revoke
permit.
Notice of these revocations will
appear in the daily notification
sheet of business changes. Whole
salerS can not claim deductions on
merchandise sold for the purpose of
resale TO the retailers after the per-
nit has been revokd.
In order for the retail merchant
to continue selling tangible personal
property after his permit has been
! revoked it will be necessary to
call at one of the branch offices OF
the board of equalization and make
application for a new permit. How
ever. before this will be granted,
all past due taxes, together with all
returns, plus penalties and interest
must be paid in full.
Marie further states that 1t should
b.. understood by retail merchants
that it is not the purpose OF the
state TO have Investigators call on
them in order TO collect overdue
taxes. Therefore, revocation of per-
mits will be made accordingly

A. Through a protest to Cover
nor Sanchez Taboada one OF Mex
icali Valleys first pioneers, a 10
year-old woman. obtained return
Of 100 acres OF her property which
had been confiseated by Agrarians.
Observers placed most social sig
nificance on the arrival OF Adame
TO coordinate the Banco Nacional's
local branch with headquarters
In Mexico City. because it is thru
this federal bank that Agrarian
communities are financed, that
crops are pooled and marketed,
and that proceeds are divided even
" between members of the various
Agrarian communities.
100000 Pesos
The government has spent 100000
pesos in equipment for Baja Cali
fornia Agrarians, and plans TO
spend 100000 pesos more in the
immediate future, it was learned.
Financing is handled through the
bank, a branch of which was OPEN
ed in Mexicali Monday.
Protection for japanese farmers
was believed TO have removed the
threat OF at least one international
complication Mexicali Valley har-
bors from 1000 TO 100 japanese
farmers, who control approximate
ly 25,0O0 acres. Their representa-
tives. w. Chiriguiehi and o. Naka-
mura, conferred with the Japanese
ambassador at Mexico City this
week. and received direct presi-
Dental assurance that the Japa-
nese will not be molested.
At the same time. it was learned
that l6 Agrarian Ejidos, a name
derived from the Latin exit" but
indicating the urban territory i'm
mediately surrounding Agrarian
central communities, have beer
established in Mexicali Valley, and
that five more are planned IN the
/ immediate future.
The rugged history Of pioneering
in Mexicali Valley entered the
Agrarian picture when Sonora Joa-
quina v. de Castro. 7O-year-old
widow, went 10 Governor Taooada
TO protest against eonfiscation o.
100 acres of her 800 acre ranch by
Agrarians. The land was given
back to her. Sonora de Castro and
her husband settled the ranch
many years ago, and have held u
ever since.
Fayorably Received
Sonora de Castro's protest va.
received favprably becatNe the
Agrarian law in Mexico providei
that all lands of more than ID
hectares-or about $50 aeres-ar'
subject TO the Agrarian program
if under irrigation. Cultivated un-
der rainfall. all lands OF more thai
900 hectares are subject 10 Agrar
ian confiscation. Sonora de Castro
land totals less than $50 hectares
and so Is not subject 10 Agrariai

WARSHIPS OF 5
POWERS GUARD
SPAIN WATERS

LONDON, April IA. iUR)-War-
ships of five nations riding the
choppy waters off the Bay of Bis
cay today brought closer the
menace of an International Incl
dent which might explode inter-
national hatreds caused by the
Spanish civil war.
MightieSt of all was the British
Battle Cruiser Hood. 1t poked its
l5-inch guns toward the Loyalist
seaport of Bilbao where General
Francisco Frances naval blockade
threatens thousands OF BaSques
with starvation.
France last night adopted Great
Britains conciliatory attitude to-
ward the Rebel blockade and warn
ed all French shipping to stay away
from Bilbao, Santander and other
Biscay ports.
Paris sent a crisp warning TO
Franco, however, that any inter-
ference with French ships outside
Spanish territorial waters would
bring ''forceful retaliation"
The Rebel cruiser Almirante Ger
vera repeated monotonously over
its radio:
ANY Spanish or foreign war
ships entering Spanish waters along
the Biscay Coast will be taken pris-
oner or sunk"
Germany sent two cruisers. Nor
way sent a mine-layer. France pa
trolled the three-mile limit with
sleek destroyers and the Spanish
Rebels strung a barrier acros:
Bilbao Harbor with a battleShip
three cruisers and numerous arm
ed trawlers.

Costigan sugar quota act in sub

Senator O'Mahoney Cd OF

strike from the measure a hmita-
ton on the amount Of refined
sugar which may be imported
from territorial possessions, princl-
pally Puerto Rico.
O'Mahoney said that without
the limitation, which has been in
the quota system from the begin
ming. the bill amounts to
preference for the corporate re-
finers of the islands"
Denying an alleged assertion Of
Ickes that he was getting his in
formation on sugar problems from
sugar lobbyists. O'Mahoney said:
"The source of my informa-
ton was not any sugar lobby.
It was the Department Of
Interior. 1t was from the
Department of Interior, for

duce 50 per cent of all Puerto

Bv IDEA JEAN KAIN

You can get fat on a diet that
is lacking in those important ele-
mentS.
You have been hearing about
vitamins and minerals for years
but that does not mean you are
getting your share. A daily dietary
of toast and coffee for breakfast;
a sandwich and coffee for lunch;
and meat, potatoes, vegetables,
bread, butter and dessert for din
ner supplies plenty of calories and
perhaps some spare, but it is lack
ing in the vitamins and minerals
that promote health.
In other words, the average diet
is high in calories and low in pro-
tective foods, and the result is
overweight and lack of resistance.
If you catch colds easily, suffer
from frequent headaches and feel
