MOST OF DAY BEFORE
PINE WOOD FIRE

WARM SPRINGS, Ga, March
.16.-(UP)-Cold, rainy weather
kept President Roosevelt close to
the hearth of his blazing pine
wood fire in the little white
house" yesterday.
A driving rain that dropped the
temperature 80 degrees caused
Mr.. Roosevelt to cancel plans for
7O-mile inspection tour of q
government-fnanced Rural Re-
habilitation project and a CCC
camp.
He braved the cold and skiddy
red clay roads in the afternoon,
however, for a drive to the Warm
Springs foundation swimming
pool. The water comes from the
ground at 1873 degrees and the
pool is glasS-enclosed to hold the
heat.
Later, the president visited an
i'll friend, George Foster Pea
body of Saratoga Springs, n. Y,
his colleague on the Warm
Springs foundation board Of trus-
tees.

EASY MONEY IS
ECCLESPOLICY
Would Balance Federal
Budget With More Tax
on Incomes, Profits

WASHINGTON, Mar. l6. (UP)
Reserve Board Chairman Marri-
ner S. Ecclcs favOrs continuation
OF an easy money policy 80 long
as there are large numbers Of
people who are unable to find en-
ploymcnt in private industry" he
said last night.
The slender, youthful-appear-
ing chairman made his statement
to correct what he characterized
as erroneous interpretations of
his position on credit and none
tary policies growing out Of his
visit last week with President
Roosevelt.
81 do not believe that sharp
price rises in certain basic COM
moditieS should be controlled at
this stage of recovery by a re-
money policy which
would tend to freeze and might
bring about an actual reduction
in the total volume of employ
ment and production" Eccles
said. "The price rises to which !
refer are the result primarily of
factors including
foreign armament d @ IN a n d s,
strikes and monopolistic practices
by certain groups both in indus
try and organized labor. These
conditions have in turn led to
speculative security and commod-
ity buying which serves to acccl-
crate the price advances"
Ecclcs said that the continued
easy money policy to be success
full in achieving a balanced recov-
cry" must be accompanied by
balancing of the federal budget
and the subsequent retirement Of
public debt in relationship to the
expansion of private credit.
81 have not been and / am not
now in favor of balancing the
budget at the expense Of the des-
titute and the unemployed who
are unable to find private employ

OF DAY
DESCRIBED AT
KWANIS CLUB

"The News of the Day." in in
ternational national and local sig
nificance was dissected before
members of the El Centre Kiwanis
club Friday noon by Paul Jen-
kins. editor and publisher of The
Morning Post and the Imperial
Valley Press.
In a program presided over by
Arno Yaeckel, and including piano
solos by Raynor Clemons, son of
DR. R. C. Clemons and Mrs. Gle
mons, the publisher outlined be-
fore members of the club the Sig
nificance of daily events as reported
in the nations newspapers. Events
of truly great Importance are rooted
in the past and will have their in
fluence in the future, Jenkins
pointed out.
Changing economic and political
trends of the world, the speaker
said. are reported from day to day
in dispatches relating to such items
as civil war in Spain, which Jenkins
classified as a war between Com
munism on one extreme and dicta-
torship on the other.
jenkins showed the newspapers
of the day as purveyors of current
history, citing instance during the
past year to bear out his contention.

HALF MILLION
IDLE AWAITING
STRIKE PEACE
BY UNITED PRESS

More than 100000 workers wait
ed in idleness today pending set
tlement of labor controversies.
Principal disputes centered in the
automobile and soft coal indus
tries.
More than 100000 soft coal min
ers stood by in technical strike,
hopeful that settlement of contract
negotiations between the United
Mine workers and coal operators
might be achieved shortly.
The soft coal contract expired at
midnight March 81. Mines have
been idle since that hour.
The strife torn automobile in
dustry was again today the center
of critical disturbances whic b
threw 100000 men out of work. Sit
downs and Walkouts affected Gen
eral Motors, Chrysler, Hudson and
REQ auto plants.
New trouble in Detroit broke out
in the hotel industry where strike
occurred at the huge Book
hostelry. Union officials attribut-
ed the strike to delay in arbitrat-
ing a similar hotel dispute which
occurred in March.

EXEMPTION IN
STATE SALES
TAX APPROVED
New Proposal Would Lift
Levy From Cafe
Meals

SACRAMENTO, April 2.
(UP)-Exemption of res
taurant meals from payment
of the state sales tax was
approved today by the as
sembly committee on revenue and
taxation in recommending for pas
sage a bill sponsored by Assembly,
men Boyle and Hunt of Los Angeles.
Under the proposed law,
prepared foods would be plac-
ed in the same. class as those pur-
chased at grocery stores. Only oppo-
sition to the proposal was offered
by C. Stanley Wood Los Angeles,
representing the California Manu-
facturers Association.
Wood told the committee his or
ganization believed the present
sales tax was fair to all classes
and the way should not be opened
to further drives for exemptions.
It was estimated removing prepared
foods from the operation of the
tax would reduce the states income
from that souhce by $12,000,O00 each
biennium.

FARM CRISIS STIRS MEXICAL
RESPONSIBILITY
IN VALLEY VICE.
CHARGE FIXED
Mrs. Urquhart Blames
Publicity Chief For
Report

Responsibility for a report of
'revolting" vice conditions in Ell
Centro was fixed Friday on d. L..
Squires, director of publicity for
the National Women's Christian
Temperance Union. 1880 Chicago
avenue, Evanston, III.
Mrs. John C. Urquhart, who STIR
red a storm of protest in Ell Centro
by her report at Los Angeles last
week of what we're described as re
voting conditions" in which El
Centro dance halls and saloons adj
vertised all-night parties for young
men and their girls, declared in a
wire received here late Thursday
that data for the report was sub
mitted by Squires.
A questionnaire conducted and
released by the publicity man was
responsible for the report. Mrs. Ur-
quhart said in her telegram.
The queStiOnnaire was believed
here to be the same filled out sew
eral months ago by Adiutant Jan
Hoogstad of the Salvation Army,
Adj HoogStad however, declared
earlier this week that there was
nothing in the questionnaire which
might have Indicated that revolving
vice conditions existed here, or that
FL Centre was as bad as many other
cities in relation to vice.

day.
The 1000 indignant farmers left
the governors palace Thursday
afternoon only upon being prom
ised that Governor Sanchez Tabo-
ada, absent in Mexico City, would
address them later if they left
the palace and grounds. Assurances
that the government would pay
them if land is confiScated, one
official declared, satisfied the arm
ed agrarians temporarily. They al
so objected. he said, to losing the
fruits of their labor in case the
land is taken from them.
An authoritative source main
tanned the agrarian5 resented the
government arming the 5000 re-
puted colonists. A majority of the
5000 men, according to the gen.
orally responsible source, have
guns strapped to their hips. The
farmers, it was indicated, consider
the colonists in much the same
light as they would armed invad-
erS.
Land involved in the colonial
ton plan is scattered in the area
Immediately surrounding MexicaI
and stretching toward the Colora-
do river. A majority of the land is
declared included in the COLOMBIA
ton contract signed by the Mexi-
can government and the Colorado
River Land company April IA, 1886,
Under the terms of the contract,
it was explained, 5000 hectares OF
land was to be colonized the first
year. Actually, however, 10000 hec-
tares were colonized in the first
year. The land was supposed to
have been sold to the farmers
on long term contracts.
Imperial Irrigation district, thru
the Mexican company, supplies the
water used in the colonization
area. Officials were unable to de-
termine what effect the agrarian
trouble would have on water sales
and other business below the in
ternational line.

acre feet of water, an amout equal
led only six times in the past 27
years.

were good for a continued gain
this month due to melting snow in

BILL APPROVED
TO ASSIST CITY
BOND ISSUES
Measure Permits Finance
OF Public Utility
Construction

SACRAMENTO, April 2.
(UP)-The first major az
complishment of the 52nd
legislature was registered
today as the Garrison Reve-
nue. Bond bill returned to Sem
ate for concurrence before being
dispat tched TO the governor.
Designed to permit municipali-
ties TO issue revenue bonds, on q
majority vote of the people, to
finance the construction or acquiS-
ition of nearly every type of pub
Tic utility. the Garrison measure
sailed through The assembly 65 to
10, after a brief debate. Because
the lower house amended it to re-
move communication facilities from
the list of utilities which may be
acquired, the bill had TO be re-
turned to the senate.
A somewhat similar public own
erShip bill, introduced by Senator
Roy J. Nielsen, will be held back
pending final action on the Garri-
son measure wnicn was considered
the more liberal of the two.
The Garrison Revenue act, if ap-
proved, will have little direct ef-
feet upon Ell Centro at the present
time, City Attorney Dorsey White
law declared. The act might in the
future make bond issues easier for
valley cities, he explained, due to
the fact that only a majority
would be needed for passage in
stead of the present two-thirds
vote required.
