VALLEY CALLED
FASCIST AREA
WITHOUT LAWS
Writer Pictures Region
AS Country Under
Dictatorship

Imperial Valley is simply
a little fascist principality
stuck in between two democ-
racies of Mexico and the
United States, is the opin-
ion of John l.. Spivak expressed in
an article in this weeks issue OF
a national magazine.
In the same article he said, Laws
like the Wagner Act are viewed by
Qmperial Valley officials as a part
of a Communist plot to send or
ganizers into the valley to raise
the Red flag over muddy ditch;
and federal law or not, rumor had
it that the vigilantes were deter
mined not to let the agricultural
worker organize
His descriptions of migratory
workers living conditions contain
ed a reference to the cost of water
He declared ditch water cost 10
cents a drum and therefore little
of it is wasted in washing. A bath
with unsettled ditch water, the
article sets forth, would only leave
you caked with desert silt when
you dried out. That is why they
are so dirty in the migratory
camps"
Spivak visited the valley last
winter while collecting material for
the article. A double page display
of pictures illustrated the Spivak
material.

GERMAN BANKS
CHIEFS LINKED
TO REVOLUTION
Brazilian Branch Group
Held as Leaders
In Revolt

RIO DE JANEIRO, May
IL. (UP)-Seven officials of
a branch of a Berlin bank
ing institution were under
arrest today, charged with
participating in the abortive Fas-
cist green shirt revolt to over
throw the government and assas-
sinate President Getulio Vargas.
The suspects were members of
the staff of the Banco Germanico
America do Sui, branch of the
Deutsch- -Sudamerikanische Aktien-
gesellschaft of Berlin. Police said
they were all members of the In
tegralistas and had been linked
with the revolt.
They were Harry Schaeffer, Ar
mold Federico VOICE, Armada Eth
rat. Eugenio Lyria, Eduardo PEREZ
ra. Armando Luiz Carvalho, and
Cesar Menna Barreto 1t was be-
lieved that all were Brazilians.
The Banco Germanico America
do Sui was established in Rio de
Janeiro in 1906 and does an extern
Sive commercial business for Ger
man firms operating in Brazil.
The suspects were among more
than 600 who were rounded up and
faced trial.

Republican protests that it was "a
threat to national solvency.'
Appropriations bills passed, end
ing and prospective for this session
may aggregate close to S1l l,000,-
100000. That figure would include
permanent reappropriation aggre-
gate $2,718,000, The $2,519 ,425,-
900 of actual new appropriations for
relief and recovery probably will
raise the appropriations record for
this congress beyond the $10,336,-
100000 appropriations voted in 1886
appropriations dropped approx
imately $l,000,000,000 last year from
the 1896 peak. But each of the last
five sessions of congress has appro-
priated sums in excess of any other
years except 1917-18-l9 when the
nation was at war. Appropriations
in 1918 added up to more than $27,-
900 100000.
Reduction in appropriations last
year by S1,000,000,000 under 1896
were in line with the Roosevelt
administrations economy program
MI. Roosevelt had determined to
reduce the cost of government and
expected to make his biggest saw
ings in relief. But these plans were
upset by depression which from

business into the most abrupt de.
cline in American history.
The brightest side of the treasur,
picture is that tax receipts have no
fallen off so sharply as has busi.
ness turnover Higher rates con.
tinue to pour tremendous sum:
into Washington, although consid
erably less than the treasury hao
anticipated on the basis of sus-
tanned active business conditions
Some observers believe the dark
est side of the picture is showr
by a comparison of expenditures
this year with last.
So far in this fiscal year, which
has slightly more than six weeks
remaining, tax receipts have ag-
gregated 1924, ,318,2 ,293 which is ap-
proximately 81 900 100000 more thar
was collected in the comparable
period of the last fiscal year. Gov
ernment expenditures however
| have maintained a fairly even pace
AT this time year ago the cost
of government amounted to So
465, 176,646 and the net fiscal year
deficit had reached S2,145 ,038, ,191.

= BY "A SOCIAL WORKER .
LAS told to Logan Jenkinsl

Only 10 per cent of those
on relief are receiving help
because otherwise they would
starve. The other 90 per cent
are on relief because it is the
easiest way.
That is my personal opinion, the
result of contracting hundreds of
relief clients.
The true story behind the STORY"
that relief investigators are told is,
in a nutshell, this:
Fully so per cent OF those receiv-
ing relief today are living on a
far better standard than they ever
did before; and they are doing 1t
without a stroke of work. Before
organized relief was launched, this
class was content to work just
enough to buy food and other nee
eSsitieS. The rest of the time they
loafed. The scale on which they
live today is not of their own
choosing. 1t is, so to speak, forced
upon them by relief agencies who
