OF Judge Vaughn N Thompson, head

Tentative plans call for build

existing concrete strong rooms for

be demolished but included in the

Six individual rooms for girls and
six for boys will be supplemented
by two dormitories with lO-bed cap

vided for isolating juveniles suffer-

other communicable or contagious

Judges Consider
Ban on Photos
In Courtrooms

SAN FRANCISCO, June %. oUP)
The judicial council of California,
composed of II judges, today took
under adviSement the proposal Of
the Los Angeles County Bar asso-
citation to ban newspaper photog-
raphers from all courts of the state.
Allen w. Ashburn, vice president
of the Los Angeles County Bar as
ISOLATION. presented his organiza-
tons case in demanding the meas
ure to uphold the dignity of the
courts" at an ex officio hearing
of the council.
Ashburn proposed that the coun-
Gil. which sets rules of judicial pro-
cedure for the state, establish a
no picture" rule in court-rooms
and forbid the taking of pictures
of Judge. witnesses, defendants jury
men or other persons connected
with trials.
Trial by newspaper is not an
individual problem of judges SAID
Ashburn. They can not fight news
papers alone because each one IS
dependent on publicity for re-elec-
ton. Many judges who restricted
the press in their trials have been
boycotted for months-their names
never mentioned in the newspapers y
Ashburn said it was useless to
appeal to the newspapers to refrain
from taking pictures of court trials
because his oganization had done
so and been told to "go to hell" by
the publishers.

Sales Event Here

Tide Favorable

There is plenty of business in
Imperial Valley. The Ell Centro
merchant only has to 90 after it.
That was strikingly shown Tues
day in one of the most successful
merchandising sales in FL Centro
in eight years.
A record of buying power in re-
cent years was hung up on the
first day of a special sale at the
NJ. O. King company, when 1,5G0
transactions totalling more than
5000 in sales were recorded.
This was strikingly shown Tues
any day at the store since 1882
according to NJ o King.
That FL Centre is the central buy
ing point Of the valley was indicated
by the fact that go per cent of
checks cashed were from outside
of Ell Centro. Every valley town
and farming community was rep
resented, King said.
The event was widely advertised
and prices on merchandise were
unusually favorable. according to
merchandise shoppers checking the
event.
Throughout the day. crowds filled
the aisles in a manner reminiscent
of pre-depression DAYS. Clerks were.
al times unable to take care of
customers.
The event was interpreted by
Main street merchants as mdicat-
ing that there is large volume of
local power available if offers and
merchandising plans are properly
carried out.

not entitled to relief and improve
the conditions of persons presently
receiving state help.
The proposed program would en-
tail production of food, clothing
and other necessities for Self-con-
sumption which now are provided
as part of the states cash dole.
The first steps toward such a
program already have been taken,
Pomeroy disclosed. He said the state
has submitted to the WPA applica-
tions for re-opening of a garden
project formerly operated by the
WPA.
If approved. the projects would
employ at least $500 men in grow
ing garden produce which would be
distributed to persons receiving state
unemployment relief or other pub
lie assistance.
Those participating in this form
of activity would be only the persons
accepted for public relief. Under no
circumstances will production Or
eanizations be set up to operate
independently or semi-independent-
ly as competitive industries, Pome-
roy said.
He pointed out that not all the
needy unemployed can be cared
for indefinitely or ordinary work
and construction, such as has been
tried since the middle of the de-
preston.
Some public projects have been
built which state taxpayers have
been unable to operate or main
tain in trying to find new uses
for idle time of relief clients, Pome-
roy pointed out.

mary two weeks hence. The support
ers Of Senator Tydings, the third Sen
ator on the Presidents purge" list,
are taking heart from the South Caro-
lima and California primary results.
Harry L. Hopkins, head Of the w. P. A.
and the principal speaker at meeting
Of Democratic women from 10 North
ern States in Boston on Tuesday,
upheld the Presidents purge" pro-
gram as It relates to Democrats in
Congress. The President. Mr. Hopkins
said, was entirely justified In calling
attention to the records Of men In
Congress who had failed to vote for
the administration measures
After that" said Mr.. Hopkins, "the
voters will vote exactly as they want
to-" In South Carolina that is what
the voters apparently did.
Mr.. Hopkins belongs to the New
Deal inner circle. The members of
this circle urged the President to take
up the fight to defeat Democratic Sen
ators and Representatives who failed
to go along with him-to go person.
ally into the States. Up to date, this
seems to have been remarkably poor
political advice.
Pivots on Court Issue.
Despite all its influence. due in large
part to the tremendous sums 1t has to
spend on public works and on relief"
the administration has not made
good showing in the primary fights.
Not single Democratic Senator who
opposed the Presidents bill to revamp
the Supreme Court of the United
States last year has been unhorsed.
On the other hand, several Democrats
who supported the President in that
fight have fallen by the wayside. The
first of these was Senator Dietrich Of
Illinois, who was compelled to with
draw from the race because he could
not get sufficient support to make a
showing. Senator Hitchcock Of South
Dakota and Senator Pope OF Idaho
were both defeated, and now Senator
McAdoo. In contrast. Senators Gil
lette Of Iowa, Clark Of Missouri, Van
Nuys Of Indiana and Smith of South
Carolina have all been renominated.
and Senators Adams of Colorado and
Lonergsn OF Connecticut have been
assured denominations.
These Democratic opponents OF some
OF President Roosevelt's measures, now
renominated, come from widely sep
arated sections Of the country. The

In 1882, the last time Senator Smith

The California fight differed from

the senatorial nomination against
McAdoo, was not known as con-

as was Senator Smith. Indeed,
