 WARNS ITALY
Italian Intervention With Spain Would Break
 Off Relations

westward undertaking Of the 3,900- mile course which the late Wiley Post covered in "A hours and 45 minutes, New York-to- Berlin, in 1883.
 The flight, sponsored by Deutsche Lufthansa, was to test the feasibility of 24-hour mail and passenger serv- ice across the North Atlantic be- tween the two cities.
 The Brandenburg is a Focke- Wulf Condor type plane powered by four Hornet motors built by the Bavarian Motor Works and each capable of generating 720 horsepower.
 No Mail Nor Cargo
 Although the craft is of type de- signed to carry 26 passengers, it took neither mail nor cargo on the test hop. The crew members were Captain Alfred Henke, pilot; Rudolf Won Moreau, co-pilot; Paul Dierberg, flight engineer; and Walter Kober, radio operator.
 The flyers planned to return to Berlin nonstop as soon as possible after landing here. Kenneth Behr, manager of the airport, said he un- deratood they might take off on the return trip immediately after re- fueling. Other sources said, how ever, that they probably would snatch a few hours of sleep first.
 The German Aero Club asked Behr to time the planes arrival of ficially.
 Turns Corner Early
 The Brandenburg turned the cor ner on the course to New York over New Foundland early this morning.
 It was not until this afternoon Gin Berlin when the plane had been in the air more than 18 hours, that flight intended to show Americans the efficiency of Nazi aviation was announced.
 For weeks while the great four engined Focke-Wulff plane of Con- dor type was being groomed at Staaken Airport, officials denied stoutly that New York flight was intended. Every effort was made to keep information from leaking.
 But today, as the plane neared Newfoundland with prospects of be- ing in New York this afternoon, its trail blazing flight, was admitted

GOV. HAYES IN
 OFFICE TODAY
Will Be Recognized as Chief Executive of State
 For One Week

Lieutenant Governor Frank Hayes, mayor of Waterbury, is acting gov ernor of Connecticut today and for the rest of the week, at least, while Governor Wilbur L. Cross spends some time at his summer home at Lake Sunapee, N. H. Contrary to propaganda in Republican news papers that the governor would not leave the state, this is the second time that the chief executive has proved false the reports that grand jury charges in Waterbury would deter him from leaving confines of Connecticut.
 The governor was out of the state for two days during which he tes- tified at interstate commerce com- mission hearings at Buffalo, N. Y. Now the governor is taking part of his vacation, postponed because of press of state business beyond the usual time he customarily has gone to New Hampshire.
 Not To Visit Capitol
 During the first absence of the governor, Lieutenant Governor Hayes did not go to Hartford and the governors office, nor has he seen fit to undertake this procedure during other years, transacting whatever state business demands his attention at Waterbury. He is reported to have announced that he does not intend going to the Capitol during the present absence from the state of the governor.
 Governor Cross is expected to make some announcement regarding his attitude on the fight for the nomination for United States sen- ator, for lieutenant-governor and for secretary of state when he re- turns to Hartford. He is understood

Thoughts for the Day
YOU CAN'T BE LOYAL
TO TWO MASTERS

The battle in New York Thursday be-
tween American ex-service men and Ger
man-American Nazis who were celebrat-
ing Adolf Hitier's birthday with night
long party makes us wonder why some
people ever come to this country.
Europeans themselves have given us
the impression that the United States
is the goal of thousands of persons from
other countries. They have led us to the
belief that this is so because the living
standard here is the highest in the world,
wages are higher than anywhere else.
and freedom is more than just word
in the dictionary.
And yet a thousand persons gathered
IN New York for riotous celebration
of the birthday of Adolf Hitler, one of
the worlds greatest freedom suppress
sors. More than that they gathered as
friends and members of Nazi organiza-
tion formed and thriving in the United
States.
The Nazis stand for everything Amer
lea loathes. Suppression, persecution
and dictatorship.
Why should any group of people who
wanted to come to this country in the
first place. presumably because they
disliked their mother country, still main
tain allegiance to the vicious political
beliefs of that mother country?
Whether it is Nazi, Communist or
Fascist, the radical political and econo-
mic creeds of Europe today lead to just
one thing = dictatorship. Dictatorship
means suppression of all the things the
American constitution guarantees to the
people.
Our system may not be perfect-but
no better one has been worked out yet.

ACCIDENT SEASON
AROUND THE CORNER

Before long every Imperial Valley
weekend will see an almost constant
stream of automobiles crowded along
highways leading to Jacumba, San Diego
and Los Angeles. The summer weekend
season is at hand-and so is the summer
accident season.
Every Imperial Valley motorist who
will travel to the mountains or to the
coast during the summer might profit
by a resolve taken right now to drive
carefully, to distrust the other fellow
and, above all, to have all mechanical
equipment on his automobile thoroughly
overhauled to see that it is not danger
ous
When travel on the highways becomes
as heavy as it is during the summer
months, and when drivers are in great
hurry to get where they are going, the
danger of accidents is increased a thou
sand-fold. Bearing this in mind, the driv-
ers themselves can lessen the danger by
using care and common sense.

Dale Carnegie ranch had gone
out to suhdue him and had failed.
Never, in all their history had
the men seen such an obstinate,
fighting customer.
Finally one of the ranch hands
came TO the foreman and said, Il
think maybe | got an idea. | fig
ger l can get wild Bill TO the
corral"
The foreman told him to 60
ahead an dtry if he wanted TO.
The man askea one OF the other
coWpunchers to cooperate with
him. They got a burro and lead
ing him, started for the rebel steer
At last, he was found and. roped.
There they Were-tWelve hum
dred pounds of dynamite steer
and a small. grey, shaggy burro
about half his size.
The cowboys got the burro up
close TO the steer, tied the two
neck to neck. allowing room for
each TO move freely.
Then they turned them loose.
The steer didn't like this object
hanging to him. He leaped and
kicked and threw the poor little
burro all over the landscape. But
the burro hung on. Each time he
was thrown, he patiently got up.
The steer dashed for a scrub oak
intending to brush this fly off for
good and all, but the burro gave a
little twist and succeeded in miss
ing the tree.
The little burro had most val
liable quality Persistence. He
allowed nothing to discourage him
He knew what he wanted to do
and he wasn't going to be outdone
by twelve hundred pounds of bull
dynamite.
He kept at it, hour after hour,
day after day-alWays one step
nearer the corral. That burro
never had a college education, but
he did have one CT the prime in
gradients for success. He had
persistence; and his persistence
won.
One morning the ranch hands
went out to the corral. There
stood the small, grey, shaggy, lit
tie burro with Wild Bill tied to
him.
Recently the Macmillan Pub
fishing Company did a very fine
thing. They reproduced an old
book of John James Audubon's.
This book contained some 400
pictures of Audubons water col
ors of birds of America There are
just few originals left and they
are priced at $500. Macmillan
sells their reproduction at $3.50.
The company probably will not
make any money. In publishing
these books they are only doing
what many of our high-tniQded
publishers do from time to time
printing some book because it
should be in circulation and not
because it is a money maker.

GIVING ORGANIZERS
THE BUNS RUSH
(Visalia Times-Delta

tAlSalla I1fneS-DelIaj
The members of the Tulare county
board of supervisors deserve the COM
mendation of every reasonable citizen
for refusing to fall for the silly com
plants of hired organizer from OAK
land of the so-called Workers Alliance,
a union of men and women on relief. It
was definitely a case of biting the hand
that fed. and the supervisors let the
troublemaker from Oakland off easy
with mere slap on the wrist.
Mrs. Emily Tubbs, veteran Tulare
county welfare worker, was charged with
being Insulting and gruffo to relief
clients and not treating with courtesy
the Oakland organizer when he appeared
in behalf of relief workers. 1t so happens
that Mrs. Tubbs has a very fine service
record, and is noted for her humanitar-
ianism and her frequent acts of eXcep-
tional kindness. Hers is a hard Job, and
if one half the stories of relief lmposl-
ton by clients are true, 1t wonder
that any human can MAINTAIN the patience
kindness and tolerance so uniformly dis
PLAYED by this we'll known relief worker.
The state organizers for the Worke's
Alliance must make showing to keep
their job. The kickers, the more-for-
nothing artists, are the fellows who con-
ceive and keep alive such extraordinary
and ambiguous organizations as union
of individuals receiving public relief
of doles 1t would seem to the ordin-
ary citizen that the evidence of sympathy
and generosity expressed by the taXpay-
ers of the United States through their
government in almost impoverlshlng
themselves to come to the aid of the ma
tion's unemployed, should be sufficient
evidence of their desire to help the needy,
without the necessity for the organizing
of union and the support of paid or
ganizers to prod the public into more
relief and more doles, and to harass
devoted welfare workers who pack
around the sorrows and misfortunes of
hundreds with silly complaints about
''gruffness" and "discourtesy.'
