Danish Prince Is Due in u. S.
Today on Goodwill Trip
Schedule Will Keep
Frederik and Wife
On Jump
BY the Associated Press.

| BY the Associated Press.
LOS ANGELES. April ct will
be no princely vacation OF the story
book kind that Crown Prince Fred
erik of Denmark begins today.
His 34-day mission of good will,
as a salesman for the country he
may rule some day, is a infinitely
planned transcontinental hand
shaking and speecn-making tour.
He will have no time to examine the
inner workings Of automobiles,
which he loves to do, or to get bit
of exercise at his favorite game of
tennis.
The Crown Prince and his Prin-
cess, Ingrid, reached Los Angeles
harbor on schedule at 9 am. today
on the liner Canada.
Plans made by the Danish govern
ment, which voted $4,000 kronen, or
about st, 800, to defray the Prince s
expenses, will keep him and his
Swedish wife on the jump from
morning until late at night, every
day until May 10. They sail on that
date, after their whirlwind jaunt,
from New York for London.
Nine in Princes Party.
There are nine in the princes
party. Others will join 1t from time
to time. The princess has her lady
in-waiting, who is more than a COM
panion, a sort Of friend-executive
secretary. The prince has an aide
de camp. Also there is the master
of the household, who is more than
a manager or a major domo: he is
chamberlain" explained the
princes representatives. Two women
and two men servants also accom-
pany the royal pair.
The princess, who is 20, was re-
portedly most excited about the
trip because it afforded her oppor-
tunity to buy a lot OF new clothes.
She has 70 changes OF costume.
Blue is her favorite color. The
prince has 30 changes, including his
military and naval uniforms. These
clothes and whatever else royalty re-
quires when travelling are slowed
in Al trunks and Is handbags.
The prince is regarded in his
country as a democratic fellow who
does not limit his friends to those
of the upper classes Many of his
best friends are said to be asso-
ciates of the days he spent in the
navy, when he was a cadet in 1917
and on through his service as COM
mander of . torpedo boat.
Likes to Lead Orchestra.
He plays the piano to amuse
himself, and he likes to conduct an
orchestra. but a prince must per-
form such job strictly in pri-
vate. He speaks German, French
italian and English. and he can
read Icelandic If and when he
succeeds his father, King Chris
tan x. he also will become ruler OF
Iceland Frederik is 40, tall, slender
and brown-haired.
In America there are 100000 per-
sons who were born in Denmark
There are 100000 whose parents OF
grandparents were born there
Frederik will see or be seen by al
least one-fifth of these on his Is
stops.
Those Danish officials and COM
mittees who have routed the prince
over the high points of United
States interest hope, and they say
this very sincerely. that his royal
highness will not have to shake
hands with each one Of the 100000
They think future king, like a
fighter, should have some kind OF
right"

Shanghai, where British and Ameri-

Both Britain and the United

FiIibusfer Sidetracked TO Permit
Senate Action on Tax Revision Bill

WASHINGTON, June %. (UP)-
The senate considered the $1,644,
100000 business tax revision bill to-
day under the threat of a possible
filibuSter which Secretary of Treas
uiy Henry Morgenthau, jr, describ-
ed as creating a potential emer

Leaders were not certain whether
western silver bloc senators seek
ing TO boost the price paid for
domestically-mined silver would
abandon their filibuster tactics long
enough to let the tax bill go through
the senate.
The filibuster originally was di-
rected against the bill to extend
President Roosevelt's dollar devalu

powers expire June 80. The ex-

River Feud Flares
Again as Arizona
Plan Turned Down
Dog In Manger' Says
Cactus State Official
OF California Action

A California-Arizona feud
of 16 years standing over
division of Colorado river
waters flared into the open
again Thursday with disclos-
ure that California's river commits
sion had flatly rejected a tri-state
compact proposed by Arizona.
THE Arizona plan would put all
CALIFORNIA; river rights in jeopar-
dy!" the California commission de-
clared in a report placed before
Governor Olson recommending re-
lection.
In it's report signed by Chairman
Evan T. Hewes, who is also presi-
dent of the Imperial Irrigation
district. the commission charged
Arizona legislators had used 'unu-
sual and novel methods" by first
enacting into law the proposed
compact and then asking Califor-
via and Nevada to approve 1t. The
commission declared the compact
provided a total of more than five
million acre feet of water as Ari-
zona's share, while under the
Boulder Canyon act the state Is
allotted only 100000 acre feet.
Meanwhile, Alma M. Davis, Sec
retary of the Arizona river COM
mission, spat back at California
over United Press wires from
Phoenix with the statement that
Arizona is no longer to be regarded
as the dog in the manger" OF
Colorado river affairs. He said
California is now blocking Arizona
compliance with water division
plans.
HeWes reached in El Centro, ex-
planned that the compact proposed
by Arizona as a condition for ac-
cepting the Santa Fe compact,
states a desire to conform with
the Boulder Canyon Act but fails
to do so. Hewes said:
In several instances the Arizona
pact fails to live up to the Boulder
Canyon provisions. For example.
the act provides that Arizona Is
entitled to 100000 acre feet from

action on the tax measure.
Morgenthau said the situation
resulting from the filibuster was
serious and that the treasury was
preparing to meet any emergency
which might develop if the extern
sion bill failed of passage by June
80.
Chairman Pat Harrison, D., Miss,
of the senate finance committee
opened the tax debate by telling the
senate the revision bill might be
logically termed a relief measure. "

City Gives Official Blessing to New

J. H. Edgar of Edgar Bros. COM
pany, chief opposition leader, brief
ly summarized his fears regarding
damage to his company's building
at Fourth and Main Streets. His op-
position accounted for inclusion OF
a clause providing an opportunity
to approve the proposal at a later
date when engineering plans have
been fully drawn.
Councilmen indicated this move
was taken to avoid possibility of an
underpaSs that would damage Ed
gar's interests beyond reparation.
The council resolution differed
from the chamber resolution in the
later approval clause as we'll as a
provision offering to appropriate
SOS, 900 in gasoline tax funds to-
ward defraying property damage
and rights of way costs. The cham
ber resolution did not include a
provision requiring damage to prop
erty be first fully compensated
Councilmen appeared to doubt the
advisability of this section.
Privately, councilmen did not ap-
pear overly confident that the city
would obtain the Main street
project. They pointed out that con-
ditions and reservations probably
would have an adverse effect upon
the highway commissions position
Friday will be the deadline for
obtaining an under pass by means

Reconsideration was Won by As
semblyman Clarence Walker after
a hasty conference with Senator
Edward H. Law, author of the bill,
following the asSembly's refusal
Tuesday to approve the bill which
had been voted by the senate June
l3 on 26 to ballot.
The bill appropriates $76,500 for
establishing a National Guard unit
in Imperial Valley IF and when"
the federal government authorizes
such a unit. The valley is on the
federal preferred list for a militia
organization, valley reserve officers
pointed out, leading to the belief
that no difficulty will be encoun-
tered in obtaining authorization if
Gov. Olson signs the appropriation
measure.
There was a question whether
Olson will sign the bill, since I'M
perial Valley is not popular in ad-
miniStration circles at Sacramento.
The campaign to obtain a Ma
tional Guard unit in Imperial VAL
ley has been waged for 10 years
by reserve officers in this area. The
bill appropriating funds for such
unit was passed by the senate
and later by the assembly, after
Law and Walker pointed out that

despite its proximity to foreign
nation, has no military protection.

The only major issue yet to be
settled before the longest legisla-
tive session in history can end Is
acceptance by the senate of as
sembly amendments to the relief
bill
Senate Republican leaders plan

Strictions prohibiting any attempt
by the state to fix minimum agri-
cultural wages below which relief
ers would not be required to accept
offered work. But with adjourn
ment fever at high pitch admins
tration Spokesmen anticipated
speedy concurrence with the as
sembly action in removing these
provisions.
The Pierovich bill was the point
in Gov. Culbert Olson's legislative
program for which the admins
tration made its greatest drive. It
would have authorized issuance of
revenue bonds to provide distribu-
ton facilities for power to be gen.
Grated at Shasta dam, under con-
struction near Redding.
The roll first was called on the
measure at 6 pm. Tuesday, with
the count four votes short of ap-
proval. A call of the house was put
on to delay final action but during
"a hours of intensive "high-pres-
sure" work on opposing legislators
Democratic leaders were able to
muster only three additional votes
and in the meantime lost one.
The final vote, tailed at $3.50 this
morning when the administration
abandoned its efforts in behalf of
the bill, was SO to 35, with Al nec-
esSary for passage. Democratic
forces earlier had successfully re-
sisted all attempts of the Republi-
can bloc to force the matter to a
head, one of the most complicated
parliamentary skirmishes ever seen
in the California legislature. But
it was case of winning the battle
and losing the war.
