ed and swept from the E. A. Lu-
scher store on Washington street

gers truck took load after load
of refuse from the back rooms of
the place to the city dump.
Almost every drawer in the
store contained old rags; sweep
ings were heaped under counters
over six inches deep, covering in
, flammable wicker baskets, papers
and other refuse. Cobwebs fest
ooned bottles on the prescription
shelf and floor. They were so
thick in some cases that it appear
ed impossible to tear them off

uncovered.
Several steps leading to She

ing replaced and the front win

Clio Enters Valley
Lettuce Deal With
Bargain Request
Holtville Sheds Get
Notes Heralding New
Unionization Drive

HOLTVILLE, Jan. "a
CIO requests for a vote to
determine its right to be-
come the collective bargain
ing agent for packing shed
employees, are in the hands of
packers and shippers in the Holt
Vile area.
1t is understood that the shippers
and packers did not sign the re-
quests because they contend the
packing shed crews are agricul-
tural employees and thus do not
come under the National Labor Re-
lations board, the rules upon which
the CIO bases its requests.
The CIO move, shippers declare,
is similar to the one made in the
Salt River Valley in Arizona sew
eral months ago. When the Arizona
shippers refused to permit the vote,
the CIO appealed to the NLRB for
a hearing The board decided the
vote should be held. The vote later
was held but shippers appealed to
the courts to settle the dispute.
AS far as is known Holtville ship
pers and packers are the only ones
receiving the requests to date.

considered
The budget did. however, list
three Imperial Valley projects to-

by the highway commission, prob
ably would be disclosed elsewhere

patch direct to the PoSt-Press from

Famed Editor SAYS
California Passes
Up Opportunity

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan, "a. tUP)
William Allen White, famous
editor who once told the world
whats the matter with Kansas, "
today disclosed what's the matter
with California.
The matter with California y
the 7O-year-old, White-haired news
paperman said, is you don't serve
enough orange juice
Tourists come to your golden
state, famous for its oranges, and
they order orange juice. What hap
pens?
First you get it in the smallest
glass the hotel or restaurant has
in stock.
Then you pay as much for it
as you do back in Kansas.
Something wrong somewhere
Why don't you have an enticing
jug of orange juice on all your
dining room tables where we can
see it without asking for it.
Somebody's missing bet. You
ought to exploit your oranges bet
ter than you are"

The four men of the Cavaliers
crew who survived were cloSe-lipped
as to the cause of the accident
which killed three of the Is persons
aboard and flung the other 10 into
the Atlantic 300 miles from the
nearest land, where they drifted
for 10 hours before being picked up
by the ESQ Baytown. But Cap
tain Neil Richardson, first officer
of the 100000 Imperial Anyways
craft, said he had ordered the stew
ards to distribute life preServerS
before the crash. The radio log
of the Cavalier while it was fight
ing to stay in the air, showed that
the crew had been aware of i'm
pending disaster for almost an
hour before it overlook the plane.
Today began the investigation
into the disaster. Captain M r.
Anderson, master of the Cavalier,
and his crew were to be questioned
by Captain c. C. Pirie, air attache
of the British embassy and Paul E.

An expert of the civil aeronautics

vivid story of the passengers She
said that not until the plane had
struck and water was knee deep
in the cabin, did Steward Robert
Spence stand at the emergency exit
in the smoking room and pass out

to sustain them for 10 hours. Be-

Sen. Ava b. Adams, D., Colo,
opened senate debate on the con-
troversial $725,O0O,OOO WPA bill,
charged that the issue had been
"misstated to the people of the
country" by advocates of a larger
fund.
Adams, chairman of the appro-
priations subcommittee which sus-
tanned the house in asking for
$3.50, 100000 less than President
Roosevelt sought, told the senate
that extensive propaganda" has
been distributed against the small
er appropriation.
Il do not say that this has been
misstated intentionally he said.
The question here is not one in
volving a cut in relief funds but
simply on the amount which should
be added for relief purposes.
This is a bill for an additional
appropriation, not bill to reduce
the appropriation.
Adams and other members of the
economy bloc sought to hold their
lines against strong administra-
ton drive to increase the appro-
priation to the $875, 5,000,O 900 re-
quested by the president.
