I. NJ. Mangun Has
erribie Experience
With Bandits

C. NJ. Mangum, former
principal of Coolidge high
school, was held up by ban
dits in Phoenix Friday night.
Just as he left the football
game in the High School
stadium, two young ana
masked men forced him to
drive them to the South
mountains and frightened
him into remaining there all
night after robbing him Of
So and a $6 hat.
Mangum advises police of
the robbery about noon Sat
urday, saying that the rob-
berS' threat of harm so
scared him he did not con-
slider making a report advi-
sable until talking with acq-
uaintences.
The bandits displayed
pistols, climbed into the rear
seat and directed his course
of driving to a point on the
desert about a quarter of a
mile east of Seventh street
in the mountain foothills.
The robbers were exceed
;ngly cool, Mangun told E.
Nj. Lynch, captain of detec-
tjves, chiding him about
having so little money and
taking his name and ad-
dress with warning that he
would be killed if he re
ported the robbery.
They lett him in the rear
seat of his car after warn
ing him to remain there
until daylight. They reap
peared with added threats,
however. when he climbed
into The front seat of the
car and prepared to start
the motor.
He declared he promised
to remain there until l a. m
and they left him. After
fhey had gone, however, he
turned and ran, climbed to
a vantage point on the
mountainside and remained
until daylight.
Then he walked to his car
returned to the city and
went to see business associ-
ates who advised him to no
tify police
He provided descriptions
of the robbers and authorit-
les said they are similar to
those given by other victime
of South mountain bandits.

helpfulness of spirit, to the
late DR.. B. B. Moeur, states
man. physician, and unfail-
ing humanitarian, we dedi-
cate this building"
w. J. Jameson, state ad-

the stock gowing up will be
as good citizens and leaders
as was Doctor Moeur."

Harry Bridges. Australian born
CIO leader struck back in his de-
portation hearing today at Miles
Humphreys, former CIO and Com
munist organizer who had testified
to seeing Bridges at Communist
meetings 20 or 30 times in recent
years.
A parade of union members from
the Alameda county area, where
Humphreys formerly served as a
union and Communist official, ap-
peared as rebuttal witnesses for
Bridges.
Several accused Humphreys of
having advocated the use of "goon'
squads and strong arm methods in
labor disputes and one, A. T. john
son of the Clio United Auto work
ers said that Humphreys had pre-
dicted q revolution was coming and
advocated that working men seize
the pressroom of an Oaklnd news
paper and the headquarters of an

Way To
Peace
Given

Two ways to keep the
United States out of any for
eign war was advocated by
Congressman Ed V. 1zac in
Ell Centre Thursday.
He recommended first, arrange
ments permitting this nation to
trade with everyone on an equal
basis, forcing everyone to bring
cash for the goods and take it home
in their own boats.
Or he said, "a complete en-
barge on everything followed by
orders for the navy to keep the
rest of the world out of the Uniteo
States. Either would work.
The congressman planned to visit
all valley towns before returning
to San Diego to meet members OF
the foreign affairs committee OF
which he is member. He said he
probably would accompany them
ack to Washington for a specia,
session of congress. He will speak
at a dinner at the California Thurs
day night.

plan to put him aboard a ship for
Japan. Federal officers said the in
dictments grew out of an attempt
of New York gambling syndicate,
reputedly headed by Yuge, to muscle
in on Oriental gambling in south
ern California.
That is ridiculous, he said.
Yamatoda's story was that the
chain of bizarre events started when
he refused to meet Yuge at Los
Angeles hotel. When he did not
appear, attorneys said, Henry went
to Yamatoda's home and arrested
him on charges of threatening to
kidnap Henry and another police
officer.
Yamatoda charged he was taken
TO the Los Angeles city hall but
not booked. He said Henry told
him he could not operate in Los
Angeles. During this time, Yama-
toda said, Yuge was alleged to have
gone to Yamatodas establishment
and told employees he was in charge
and that they were working for
him
Meantime, Yamatoda said Henry
and another police officer offered
him $4,000 to go to Japan within
80 days. When he made no effort
to get his affairs in shape to leave,

A twO-day rain STERN which
created havoc in Imperial Valley
was reminiscent Thursday of
midget counterparts in 1929. 1887
and 1888.
Memory tricked residents into
thinking these storms of the past
were comparable. But the COM
bined rainfall of all three storms
of the past would not equal half
of this weeks 4.31 inch rainfall.
Away back i'm September Of
1929 the valley was drenched by
a storm that did Sl50,00O damage
to the Bard cotton crop and mar
ooned many farmers i'm the low
lands. The official El Centre rain
total, however, was only about
half i'm inch.

Fish swan in the streets
of Ell Centre Thursday.
AS floods receded in Impe-
rial Valleys heaviest rain
storm, a school of baby catfish
disported themselves around the
submerged base of lamp post al
the corner of Fourth and Main
streets.
Orphans of the storm, varying
in length from an inch to three
inches, the babies apparently wash
out out of drain canal, swirled
with flood waters down Fourth
street and made themselves at home
in a sun drenched pool of water.
In the meantime city, district
and county officials rushed to re-
pair storm damage and estimate
the cost.
County road crews near Calipatrla
watched the rampaging Alamo river
lick at the big bridge over the
chasm, expecting any moment to
have it crumple into the racing
| stream.
Drain Off Water
Rush installation of drain
through an irrigation canal began
at noon Thursday to carry off wa
ter flooding into Is homes in a
two-mile pocket north of the San
Diego railway tracks on North Sixth
street. Ell Centre.
While outside the city limits
City Engineer Philip Knights pre-
pared to share the work and cost
with the Imperial Irrigation dis
trict to relieve residents.
Incomplete surveys indicated that
storm damage to the district sys-
tenn would prove the heaviest IN
history.
Heaviest damage was caused by
torrents from the Chocolate noun
tains rushing against the EaStside
Highline canal and onsiaughts from
the western mountains cutting
through the Westside Main canal
at intervals over 15-mile stretch.
Smaller canals all over the system
were damaged to a lesser extent.
