Validity of the contract for paw

Brawley, an allegation that Coun-
Gilman S. d. Carey realized a per-
sonal and financial benefit from the

public policy of the councils hand

of Two suits filed Friday by 27

Politicians Grab
Choice Seats at
Memorial Stadium

LOS ANGELES, Oct. %.
(UP)-If John Fan has won
dered why he could not get
a seat on the 50-yard line at
the Los Angeles Memorial
coliseum the answer appears to be
that the politicians had the choice
seats.
Authority for the statement is
Mayor Fletcher Bowron, who called
upon public officials today to sur
render voluntarily passes given
them for coliseum events. He said
he had turned back his passes and
expected to pay his own way here
after.
Mayor Bowron said there are
2666 free tickets issued for the
choicest seats, of which l42 go to
city officials, go to county officials
and "a to the sixth agricultural
district. He estimated that $4,000
annually is filched from the pocket
book of the public and sponsors OF
football games by the free ticket
racket"

HOPKINS Asked TO Decide If Relief
Will Be Given Where Job Refused

out of cotton pickers in Kern coun-
ty as strike, relief agencies should
not assist persons who refuse to
accept employment in the cotton
fields.
w. B. Camp of Bakersfield, presi-
dent of the Kern county unit OF
the Associated Farmers, forwarded
the request for a ruling to Hopkins
through w. P. Lawson, northern
California chief of the WPA.
The farm OF ganization contended
that the Walkout in Kern county
cannot be considered a strike be-
cause picking is being carried OF
at the normal rate. The strikers
are demanding 81 per 100 pounds
in place of the prevailing wage OF
rs cents per 100.
Harold Pomeroy, director of the
state relief administration, reiterat-
ed his stand that no relief will be
given by his organization to pick
ers who refuse private employment
Replying to charges that the farm
security organization has given new
life to the Walkout by feeding the
strikers. Jonathan Garst, head OF
the FSA. said the purpose of his
organization is to feed every agri-
cultural worker who is hungry re-
gardless of employment or Other
conditions.

1t was gold again today that led
Redding to break out bunting on
its main streets and raised high
hopes in the hearts of real estate
promoters and others who have
laid out grandiose plans for new
cities on what is still stump land,
But todays gold does not come
from prospectors. 1t comes from
the federal governments golden
stream that will total many mil
lions of dollars before the Shasta
dam is completed as the key unit
in the California Central Valleys
project.
Already some 1900 men are at
work. An additional 1000 or so more
are expected to be given employ
ment.
These new employees will start
with the launching of the heavy
construction work, given its "go
ahead" signal at today's ceremonies,
When their work is completed
the dam will tower 420 feet, or
three times higher than Niagara
Falls.
Massed in a canyon II miles from
Redding, the dam will serve two
main purposes-the control of flood
waters and the control of waters
to irrigate vast acreage in the Sac
ramento and San Joaquin valleys
1t means the launching of one
of the governments largest irriga-
ton and water control projects
affecting the lives of thousands
throughout California. 1t also means
boom times again for Redding
and new cities closer to the dam
site which are awaiting a chance

Identity Of Man

Deputy coroners and rail

to bits beneath the wheels of
a Southern Pacific freight
train late Friday at Amos, lonely
desert siding southeast of inland
They were unable to determine
whether the victim was an Ameri-

Raney said.
Two trains passed over the
mangled mass as it rested beneath
the rails near the railway signals.
Three train crews failed to see the
body, officials said, because they
were watching the signals.
Shreds of clothing famed by the
fourth train which passed over the
gruesome spot attracted the atten-
ton of a passenger riding on the
observation platform of the last
coach of a passenger train. He
reported to railway officials when

Legal Power Fight
Ends in District,
County Decision
Nev-Cal Lines Dispute
Closed by Judgment
On Rights-Of-Way

A long legal battle, involv-
ing the bitter fight between
public and private power de-
velopment in Imperial VAL
ley, ended in San Diego Fri
day with the signing of final de-
crees in two cases.
Judge Harry Hollzer ruled, at
torneys said, that the Nevada Cali
fornia Power company may cross
Imperial Irrigation district and
Imperial county rights-of-way with
power lines if the two agencies do
not have title to the property.
The Judge denied the power COM
pany request that the county and
district pay company costs in the
suits and thus shaved more than
SO 600 from the cost to the county
and district.
District Attorney Elmer Heald
and Chief Council Harry Horton,
who were in Judge Hollzer's court
Friday, said no mention of an
appeal was made by any of the
parties involved.
The company sued to have the
county restrained from enforcing
ordinance No. 136 which prevented
the company from crossing county
roads with power lines without
permission of county authorities.
The company, as a result of the
decision Friday, Heald said, may
not put poles on county property
but may cross the roads with the
wires The district sued the COM
pany to prevent the crossing of
bitches and canals with the lines.
Horton said the district has title
to canal and ditch property and
as a result of the decision, the
power company may not stretch
wires across them in their rural
development plans.
