acres of land in the Salton sea area,
basis of Southern Pacific litigation
against the Imperial Irrigation dis
trict during the past 20 years, will
pass into the hands of the district
through a contract now being pre-

the district liable for damage re-
sulting from Salton sea inundation
whether caused by drainage, sluic-
ing or storms.

imately $4,000.
The legal department of the rail-
way company agreed to the trans
fer of the property and Harry Hor-
ton, district chief counsel, was ask
ed to prepare the contracts and.
compete negotiations.
The agreement followed confer
ences between district directors and

The letter. printed with purple
crayon on plain white paper, read:
Keep your eyes on the road"
1t was signed only with wavy
line.
The investigators believed the
letter had no direct connection with
last nights attempt upon Fits
life but was another of the many
he has received which ranged from
implied to actual threats.
At the same time investigators
disclosed that they had been warn
ed last week that "This was going
to happen
The district attorney recovered
sufficiently during the morning to
confer with Investigators seeking
his assailants and with police chief
Charles Dice of Santa Monica.
Although Fits refused to pin
blame for the shooting on anyone
connected with the Douglas Air
craft corporation strike at Santa
Monica, the visit Chief Dice was
said to be in connection with his
shooting.
The attempted assassins, driving
a small dark sedan without lights,
escaped through a Gordon OF Off
GERS flung over the roads after
Fits leaving trail OF blood behind
him, staggered into his parents
home in suburban Monrovia.
Sheriff Eugene Biscailuz said the
shooting evidently was the work
of amateurs"
mo gangster would have fired
a single shot and then fled" said
the sheriff.
With daylight this morning, large
footprints were discovered Oh Fits
estate. They led off the grounds
from point for good observa-
ton of the prosecutors door and
garage, and confirmed belief that
a fourth man was stationed at the
home as lookout and signaled TO
the gunner waiting In the car.
Fits, driving from his own home
approximately 400 yards from the
parents, said he was ambuShed at
the intersection of Foothill Boule-
ward and Royal Oaks avenue.
II was just driving into the
intersection when I noticed car
without lights approaching from
the left gaSped Fits as he lay
on a couch in his parents home.
"Three men We're in it. 1t looked
like a collision and I jammed on
my brakes and brought the car to
a dead stop.
Suddenly the other car swerve6
towards mine Shots burst from the
other car. My windshield was shat
tered and I felt a bullet enter my
arm"

Committee COnfers on
Land Bank Setup
In Valley

A satisfactory interview relative
to commissioners loans in Imperial
Valley was recently concluded with
Berkeley Land Bank officials and
members of the farm bureaus COM
mittee on federal loans, said Scott
B. Foulds, farm bureau secretary
and member of the committee.
Evan T. Hewes, chairman of the
committee, and w. A. McFadden,
member, met Wednesday in Ber-
kelley with Charles Parker, presi-
dent, and Walter Dean, vice-presi-
dent.
The committee presented several
objections to the way in which
loans were handled, stating that
there were not proper facilities and
enough help to aid farmers in max
ing applications; that some of the
appraising had been done by men
not well enough experienced in I'm
perial Valley conditions to be good
judges, and that the committee be-
lieved that there had been gradual
cutting down in loans here.
Officials informed them that they
had already planned changes in the
set-up making more help available,
that the present appraiser would be
retained but that man would be
brought in from the outside to do
additional appraising and would be
given adequate training to familiar
ize him with local conditions. The
committee received assurance that
it was not the policy of the bank
to cut down on loans in the valley.

chase price or the identity Of his asso-
