crisis that threatens the county
with tax bankruptcy.
Deputy sheriffs led the drive,
with metropolitan Los Angeles po-
lice and departments in every city
in Los Angeles county ordered to
cooperate.
Hobo "jungles," where the tran
sients gather to swap stories of the
road were the first objective. Next
will be underworld hiding places
and other places where undesirable
itinerants might gather. If march,
ing orders are not obeyed, Jail will
be the penalty.
First results of the drive was
expected to be migration of
transients to other communities of
southern California, followed per-
haps by lessening of the transient
influx into this section of the state.
The drive was scheduled as the
most intensive since the famous
Los Angeles border patrol" of
last year.
Immediate cause for the cleanup
was the relief situation in Los An
geles, which has caused fears of
community bankruptcy and a pos
sible tax strike.

tanned hope that congress may yet
avoid an all summer session.
Congressional business is at a

CATION are aboard the funeral train

The congress will not be wholly
underway again until after the SEN
ate Democratic caucus on July q
to select a new leader. The direc-
ton in which the senate will pro-

The facts appear to be that the

yesterday because of symptoms OF
congressional bolt for home in

been disposed of by summary re-

scribing his sensations in an article
Fulenwider, a writer for famous
features syndicate, jumped from a
plane flying 1000 feet above the
field. Neither his main nor emer-
gency parachute opened until he
was 100 feet from the ground.
Then the emergency chute open
ed and filled with air. The jumper
was falling too rapidly, however,
for. the parachute to check his
plunge.
Fulenwider never before had
jumped from a plane.
He crashed to death in a field a
short distance from the flying field
A woman who came to the field
with him was reported to have seen
him fall.
Fulenwider jumped from BIZ

Also in the plane was Joe Crane,
a veteran jumper, who gave the
writer preliminary instructions.
Crane said that in addition to
instructing FulenWider how to pull
the rip cord which would release
the main parachute, he also had
tied cord from the rip cord ring
to the plane. That was to be used
in case FulenWider lost his head
in the excitement. The cord was
supposed to have opened the main
chute automatically but it failed
to function.
