WeStmOrlanC, nealtn Officers SAID
Saturday. Brawley ordered a city
wide vaccination campaign and
will vaccinate children in all city
schools. There are approximately
Is cases of smallpox in Brawley,
DR.. John L. Parker, city health
officer said. One case is moder-
ately severe while the others are
mild, he said.
Five hundred Westmorland resi-
dents submitted to vaccination
Thursday and Friday, 200 resi-
dents of the federal transient camp
at Brawley, and SO Ell Centrans
took the treatment at health de-
partment headquarters Saturday.
Dr. Warren F.. Fox, county health
officer, warned that persons must
be vaccinated less than u hours
after coming in contact with a
smallpox patient if they wish to
be certain the treatment is effec-
tive. Anyone not vaccinated before
72 hours have passed should be
under the supervision of the health
department. The disease may be
modified, he said, if vaccination
comes later than the time specified
but there is nothing certain about
it.
Children attending the Westmor-
land grammar school must be vac
cinated or quarantined, Fox order
ed, because children suffering with
the disease "broke out" in school
Some of the Westmorland children
had been travelling on school buses
so they came in contact with great
numbers of children.

SENATOR URGES
new DEAL TO
CONFESS SINS
Consistent Policy Needed
To Fight Recession,
Says Vandenberg

WASHINGTON, Jan. 8.
(UP)-Sen. Arthur H. Van
denberg, r., Mich, today de-
clared that a cooperative eff
fort by business, labor and
government to combat the recess
sion was impossible until 'the ad-
ministration confesses its SINS and
adopts a consistent policy.
Calling for cessation of "the
hymn of hate" Vandenberg said
that the Jackson day speeches of
President Roosevelt and Secretary
OF Interior Harold l.. Ickes to-
night will show which shell they
have the ball under"
Ickes recently joined Assistant
Attorney General Robert H. Jack
son in series of bitter denuncia-
tions of big business" Jackson
charged big business was conduct
ing a Shutdown strike" of capital
and had priced itself out of the
market.
Discussing the presidents sug-
gestion that business, labor and
government leaders jointly plan
methods of controlling production
to prevent peaks and subsequent
periods of unemployment, Vanden-
berg said:
whats the use of sitting around
table and talking about releas-
ing the forces of industry for eX-
pansion and employment when you
decline to repeal the surplus prof

for the purpose of expansion and
employment"

FIGHT BEGUN

UPON CHINESE
Machine Guns Line

Ayerted

SHANGHAI, Jan. 8. (UP)
French and japanese sol
diers faced each other at
bayonet point on the boun-
Diary of the French conces-
sion today in what was perhaps
the most dangerous incident since
the japanese began their vigorous
bid for domination in Shanghai.
This incident occurred while in
ternational settlement authorities
were protesting the beating of four
British policemen by japanese SOL
diers on the boundary of the in
ternational area.
1t was the beating of a Russian
member of the French concession
volunteer corps that caused today's
clash, which for few minutes
bade to become pitched fight
A Japanese soldier on the French
concession boundary crossed to the
French side to beat a Chinese
woman who was drawing water at
pump
The Russian volunteer inter-
vened, trying to protect the woman.
The Japanese grabbed at the Rus
slams rifle. The two men grappled
and the Russian tried to draw his
pistol. Fifteen Japanese soldiers
with bayoneted rifles crossed into
French territory to aid their man.
They knocked down the Russian,
and tried to drag him across the
Chinese district of Nantao where
they are in domination.
The Russian managed to get out
his revolver, and one of the Japa-
nese presumably an officer drew
a sword. Just then the Russian
blew his police whistle and other
volunteers came running to the
rescue.
Japanese officers who had been
standing by, intervened then and
CALLED their men back to the
Chinese side of the avenue There
the Japanese mounted two ma
chine guns, facing the French side,
as more and more volunteers ar
rived, armed with rifles. Soon
three French armored cars. with
blunt machine gun muzzles point
ing from them, were facing the
japanese.
French officers arrived and thru
Interpreters the French and Japa-
nese began negotiating At first the
japanese demanded that the Rus
sian be handed over to them and
that he apologize. In the end, the
French and japanese officers shook
hands and it appeared as If the
incident had a peaceful curtain.

ACTION AvERTS
LOSS OF CLUB

Loss of the property on which the
Barbara Worth country club is Sit
uated, was narrowly averted Sat-
urday morning when new fin
ancing arrangement between the
club and L. P. Labrucherie, owner
of the mortgage on the property,
was completed.
A cash payment was made by the
club, and a new deed given La
brucherie for approximately $4,000,
in the deal which was closed
through the offices of the Pioneer
Title Insurance and Trust co.
Had the deal not been consum-
mated, the former deed was sched-
uled to have been sold at trustee S
sale Monday morning. Throughout
the past week negotiations have
been carried on between Labru-
cherie and a committee represent
ing the club. Both parties express
ed the whole hearted interest in
involving a plan which would be
practicable and equitable.
Had the property been closed out
through the trustee sale, it would
have been a serious injury to the
community, according to represen-
tatives of civic organizations, who
consider the club an important
asset.
The club is the only class A
course in the valley and is sched-
uled for the Southwestern Golf
tournament next year, an impor-
