|U-Boat Detectors Believed Able
 To Nullify Under Sea Warfare

10 to l2 degrees on the K" tube at from to 10 miles.
 Explaining operations, Hawkins said tripod was installed of shore at Nahant, carrying TX" tubes con- nected to Q compensator In the ex. perimental station. There an ob- serve could sit through the night and plot the courses of all the un- seen ships entering and leaving Bos- ton Harbor.
 Navy men acquired skill in the use Of the K" tubes by this method. To assist. the Victor Talking Machine Company made sound rec. ords of all the different type ships, including submarines at various speeds on the surface and sub- merged, and "even the devilish voice of torpedo" Hawkins said.
 Hawkins said United States ctasers with their "C' and TX" tubes cleared the Mediterranean of submarines in 1918.
 German submarines operating from Pola. at the head of the Ad- riatic, were making the Mediter- ranean the most dangerous waters in the world by allied shipping Hawkins said.
 "The American submarine chaS- CTS. based at Corfu, ran a barrage across the Ontranto Straits, be- tween the heel of Italy and the AL banian coast, and by their continu- ous attacks with depth bombs on submarines shut of the only pas sage to the Mediterranean and sank many submarines that tried to pass through"
 He said allied naval experts credited the 70" and TX" tubes with being superior to the submar- inc detectors devised by any other country during the world War.
 He said other forms of detectors were developed at Nahant and were ready for use at the time of the Armistice.
 "One was designed for use while being lowed behind a moving ves- gel. another for towing from a dirigie; another for use on sub- marineg." Hawkins said. "These reached completion too late for use in European waters, but, had the war lasted longer, they would have helped effectively in completing the job of rendering harmless the most dreaded weapon Of the enemy"

Roaming Gangs Dump Fruit in Fight
Over Apricot Price; Violence Grows

It was estimated $4,000 men and
women who normally would be en-
ployed in the apricot packing in
dustry here were idle as the result
of the dispute.
The possibility arose that the
Teamsters union might join with
the apricot growers union to pre-
vent the movement of fruit to can
neries until packers meet the price
demanded by the growers.
Drivers who attempt to truck
fruit to the canneries have narrowly
escaped beatings by growers and
their sympathizers who have dump
ed many truckloads of apricots on
the highways.
r. A. Halstead. business agent
for the Teamsters union said that
in view of the dangerous" situa-
ton he may seek authority from
the International union for d.ivers
to refuse to haul the crops. 1t
would be merely measure of pro-
lection for the drivers, he pointed
out.

District to Seek
Final Approval
On Bond Plan

Imperial Irrigation Dis
trict officials prepared Tues
day to place the fate of the
district refunding program
in the hands of Federal
Judge Ralph E. Jenney at final
hearing in San Diego next Monday.
Seventy-eight per cent of the
bondholders accepted the plan.
Upon his decision rests the sue
cess or failure of the refinancing
plan prepared to pull the district
out of the red, give its residents
an opportunity to solve the DRAIN
age problem, and create ceiling
beyond which the tax rate may not

Also hinged upon Jenny's decision
is the payment or non-payment of
thousands of dollars of bond prin-
cipal and interest demanded by
group of bondholders who refused
to accept the program.
Since the court would grant only
one day for the final hearing, the
matter probably will be submitted
on briefs and decision handed
down later. The refinancing plan
was placed before the lower court
April "a.
Under the plan the district tax
payers would save 100000 in in
terest on the bonded debt and be
able to go forward with compre-
hensive drainage system.
Evan T.. Hewes, district board
chairman, Chief Counsel Harry Hor-
ton, and Miss Anna McManus, dis

assembling facts, figures, state
ments and data to be placed before

The agency which the former

is one of three established by Mr..

The nomination was expected to

of the testimony to be produced at

attorneys, Major Miner denied he
had worked with the police. He
said is employer was the Oregon

ports of his secret investigation of
Communist activities to that office,
and none to Portland police.
He denied he had discussed the
case with Seattle and Portland i'm

concerning procedure at the hear

Asked to define his version OF
Communist policies, the major said;
They would create strikes and
violence, even murder, in order to
establish Communism. The ideal the
party is working for is to make this
