horizon until the convoy was out

The children were taken aboard
the old transatlantic liner Habana
and the small fishing trawler Col
Seko Izarra.
The ships sailed from port San
turce, 12is miles miles from Bill
bao. They were escorted TO the
three-mile limit by armed Basque
trawlers, under the guns of the
shore batteries.
The ships had big red crosses
painted on their sides, indicating
an errand of mercy. At the three
mile limit two British deStroyerS
took them over. The Habana and
Goiseko Izarra ran up the British
flag.

have signed long term merchandise
contracts to use NCE power eXclu-
sively. while 48 per cent Of its large
commercial consumers have signed
up with the power concern with
three year contracts. In addition,
the Imperial Ice and Development
company. a subsidiary. uses over
25 per cent of all Imperial Valley
electricity.
In view OF this situation said
West. under no circumstances will
the corporation voluntarily dispose
Of its electrical properties or retire
from the power business in Imperial
Valley"
If the power company proposal
is accepted instead of spending 10
, per cent of the PWA grant and loan
of s2,760.000 in the construction of
duplicating lines and facilities the
district will expend the whole sum
in the development of power 1ants
on the All American canal.
In obliging itself TO buy this pow
er the company agrees to pay the
district mills per killowatt hour
for firm power, or "a times what
power at Boulder dam sells for.
For secondary power the electric
concern would pay three times the
price for similar power at Boulder
dam.
Reserve Canal Power
Thp p,oposal further provides
that the district will reserve for its
own use power for dredging, de-
sitting, pumping and drainage.
According to West if the distric,
proceeds with its plan TO duplicate
NCE lines its net earnings will fall
short by many millions of dollars
of meeting the costs of thesAl Am
erican canal.
The company insists that if the
district use it's s2.0OG.O00 PWA loan
and grant for the start Of a COM
peting electric system, it must soon
ask for another bond issue of many
millions more to complete it, where
/ do II IL dSStpto bliC PIOPOool Win
will be unnecessary.
The company suggests referring its
proposal to an impartial board oi
engineers for study and report. In
! his letter West suggests that the
United States Bureau Of Reclama-
ton, the California District Securi-
ties commission, or the California
Railroad commission appoint an in
dependent engineer or board to make
an impartial report on whether ol
not the cooperative proposal is fol
the best interests of the valley. anc
refer il to a vote of the people.
The NCE proposes that If at any
! time it fails to carry out its agree
ment, the district may purchase al
its Imperial Valley properties at
price to be set by the Calitornl;
Railroad commission.
West stated that he would gladl,
meet with the district board to dis
cuss the details of his offer.

Florida Court
Upholds Law In
Abby Counties

TALLAHASSEE, Fla, Mar. 10.
(UP)- The state supreme court,
in ) TO decision, yesterday up
held the 1885 liquor control law
as effective in dry counties.
The court held that the regula-
tory section of the law was suffi-
cient to justify prosecution of any
persons arrested for selling intoX-
icants OF greater than 80 per
cent alcoholic content in counties
legally dry.
Frank J. Mcleod, who was
charged last October with selling
liquor in Alachua county, which
is dry, sought to prevent the cir
cult court from assuming jurisdic-
ton in his case on the ground the
title of the law was insufficient
to justify its operation in dry
counties.
