Plans Studied
For Air Route
Across Valley
Proposed Line Would
Link San Diego,
]. v, Phoenix

Tentative plans for an
airmail and passenger route
linking Imperial Valley with
San Diego on the west and
Phoenix, Nogales and Maza-
tlan, Mex, TO the east and south
were under consideration Saturday
by Arthur r. Bourne, president OF
International Air Lines.
In San Diego during the week,
Bourne told San Diego chamber of
commerce officers he hopes to start
operations within the next 20 days.
The line is already operating
three planes from Nogales south
to Mazatlan in Mexico, and hopes
to link the existing line with Ari-
IONA, Imperial Valley and San Die
so, Bourne said.
Stops between San Diego and
Nogales would be made at the In
perial county airport at Imperial,
at Yuma, Phoenix and Tucson, a
distance of 460 miles. The compa-
ny established route in Mexico al
ready has a 30-year government
concession for carrying airmail,
Bourne said
Planes flown on the route would
be of the latest passenger express
type with room for eight passen-
gers, two pilots and 14OO of freight
or mail. Each has a cruising speed
Of 100 miles an hour and a range
of approximately 1900 miles.

warning as "an impudent and
hypocritical proposal to CEN
sor free speech by curbing the ra-
dio."
Newspapers have grown from
the profession of journalism to the
publishing industry" he said. THE
ideals of the profession have yield
ed ground to the greed for profits
and the lust of men for power"
Much that is in newspapers, he
said can be traced to subsidized
sources behind all of this we
find control by great banks and
financial institutions =. the power
of the advertiser representing big
business control of thought in
his country by command of
money"

were handed over to Japanese mill
tary authorities with a demand that
they be punished. The third, re-
leased on parole to seek treatment
for the injuries he received in the
incident, violated his parole and
escaped.
The Japanese, operatives in what
approXimateS an army secret SER
vice, here demanding that Chinese
civilians haul down Chinese flags,
displayed today on the occasion of
the first anniversary of the start
of the battle of Shanghai-the first
mass defense that a Chinese army
offered the Japanese in the war.
Municipal police arrested three
japanese operatives who were
threatening Chinese civilians else
where in the settlement.
Later French police arrested six
japanese who were similarly
threatening Chinese in the French
concession, trying to make them
take down Chinese flags, and also
were scattering anti-foreign leaf
lets. 1t was believed the japanese
were handed to japanese authori-
ties.
American, British and French
authorities were so angry over the
incidents, and the scattering of
anti-foreign leaflets by japanese
airplanes and men in the streets
that they were understood to be
drafting statement asserting that
though they were doing all they
could to preserve order in the In
ternational Settlement, japanese
interference was jeopardizing theil
work.

Survey Will Be

CityLighting
New Street Bulbs to be
Considered on Ell
Centre Corners

Better street lighting for
Ell Centro is the aim of the
city council under a program
inaugurated Friday n G h t
when City Engineer Philip
w. knights was instructed to make
survey of specified lighting con-
ditions.
The city engineer will survey all
suspended street lights with view
of increasing their Illuminating
power, and with the plan also OF
adding such lights on corners where
new home development has made
them advisable.
In addition the survey will in
clude recommendations for lights
in s. the two alleys thanking Main
street. These lights, knights ex-
planned, would be regarded as a
police measure.

ian minority crisis, the Spanish
civil war and the still threatening
frontier conflict between Soviet
Russia and Japan.
Pressure is just beginning on the
Czechs. Germany, anxious that
Czechoslovakia come into the Nazi
orbit, is putting probably a million
men under arms this month for
military maneuvers coincident with
negotiations at Prague on the mi
nority quarrel.
Nor does pressure come from the
Reich alone. Great Britain, press
ing France into line, has sought
to postpone a showdown but has
left no doubt that she expects
great Czech concessions to Ger
many. Whether Britain would ac-
cept destruction of the little repub-
lie in all but name to meet the
Nazi demands remained undisclos-
ed, but Czechs have increasingly
feared Such an attempt
France, principal ally of Czech
oslovakia, is caught in the thorny
maze of the cumbersome peace
struture she has joined Britain in
building. France is beset from three
sides and rendered helpless except
in cooperation with London. New
German Notifications along the
Rhine leave France impotent tc
rush to the aid of the Czechs in
event they are attacked.
In the Far East, developments
which directly influenced the Eu-
ropean chancellories continued tc
cause concern. Shooting of two
japanese by Russian secret police
on Sakhalin island-half owned by
Russia and half by Japan-spreao
the danger of renewed frontier
conflict despite quiet along the
Changkufeng sector where fighting
ragged in the last two weeks.

the Communists are now actively
engaged in carrying out their united
front and their peoples front pro-

manner as they have already done

Spain and France in particular"
He charged that the Communist
party had been unable to make any
real progress in the United States"
prior to the formation of the CIO,
but that since then the Commu-
mist party has become a definite

Killers in Cana
War Hunted in
Chicago

CHICAGO, Aug. Is CUP)-Police
sent special squads through Chi
cago's underworld today to ques-
ton associates of Joseph La Porte,
slain last night in ganglands usual
style. He was the ninth victim of
gang vengeance in Chicago within
six weeks.
His murder was accomplished
with precision. Three men drove
him into an alley and stood him
up before wall under an elevated
line. They gave their work the
expert touch by waiting calmly un-
til and 81" train thurdered by
then pumped five bullets into his
head. They drove out through the

Private experts, not intended
