Roosevelt Stand
On Third Term

CHICAGO, July 17-UP)-The
146 words given to the Democratic
convention last night in behalf of
President Roosevelt by Sen. Alben
w. Barkley of Kentucky, follows:
1 and other close friends of the
President have long known that he
has no wish to be a candidate
again. We know. too. that in no
way whatsoever has he eXerted any
influence in the selection of dele
gates or upon the opinions of, dele
gates to this convention.
Tonight, at the specific request
and authorization of the Presi-
dent I am making this simple fact
clear to this convention.
The President has never had and
has not today. any desire or pur-
pose to continue in the office of
president to be candidate for that
office, Or to be nominated by the
convention for that office.
He wishes in all earnestness and
sincerity to make it clear that all
of the delegates to this convention
are free to vote for any candidate.

Board ANots
S27@ For City
Recreation Plan
Schools Expected to
Match Contribution
For Program

The supervised recreation
program so long desired in
Ell Centre received its first
financial boost Tuesday
night when the city council
set aside S2,74O for that purpose
This sum will be used to carry
forward the city-wide program
prepared by the recreation commit
tee of the Ell Centro Coordinatin2
council. The citys contribution to
the program, councilmen said, was
expected to be matched by SINH
lar contribution from the schools.
Board members went over the
three plans presented by the recre-
alton committee and the cost of
each one They then went over the
budgets of the departments and
pared away enough to make up
the $2,740 they decided was the
greatest amount they could contrib
ute to the recreation program this
year.
"The members of the committee
and those placed in charge un-
doubtedly can arrange the program
SO it can be carried out" Mayor
Robert Hatton said, and at least
get good start this year"
Councilmen Wesley He'll and P
L. Moore urged the inclusion of the
recreation item in the budget and
declared they felt certain the re-
creation committee will be able to
get a good program started with
the help the council gave on the
financing.

Officer Testifies
No yellow Coupe''
Crossed Border
Border Official Says
YamatOda Not Taken
Into Mexico

LOS ANGELES, July II.
Charles Williams, Calexi-
co immigration officer, to-
day testified in the kidnap-
conspiracy trial of J. Ster-
ling Oswalt, former Ell Centre po-
lice chief and seven others he was
certain no yellow coupe" had
crossed the border on the night H.
Yamatoda, japanese gaming boss,
was assertedly driven into Mexico.
Williams, who was on duty at
the border on the night of the
alleged kidnapping, took the stand
shortly after Federal Judge Ralph
E. Jenney had taken under SUBJ
mission motions by the defense
attorneys to strike out certain por-
tions of the testimony.
The immigration officer declared
he inspected every car that crossed
the border on the night of Dec. "a,
1888 and said if Yamatoda was TAX
en- across the line when he claimed
he was kidnapped he failed to see
him.
Williams was the first defense
witness called this week in the
tenth week of the trial. Eleven other
valley men were expected to be
in court sessions Wednesday and
called to the stand by the defense
Thursday. Five of the IL are Ell
Centre police officers.
Imperial Valley press., 1940-07-17

adopt the budget and set the rate
Wednesday night.
Pending changes which might
arise from a final checking of the
budgets from the various depart
ments, the total budget was set at
$226 .25759. That amount includes
the $12,620.44 which must be al
lOted to the chamber of commerce
under an ordinance making it man
datory for the chamber to be pro-
Vided with 10 cents out Of the rate
charge. Without that additional 10
cents on the rate, councilmen said,
the total budget was $213637l5.
Last year out of the $1.85 rate
65 cents went toward the bonded
debt of the city and $l.2O for oper-
ating expenses.
Councilmen declared they left in
the budgets only those things they
deemed mandatory to maintain the
standard of city government and
provide for some emergencies which
may develop during the year, for
instance $4,000 for repairs of the
AItfall sewer line damaged by can
al seepage.
The board granted request of
Ben HhlSe that assessment of rural
property be reduced as it had been
assessed as Subdfvded property
The board accepted Assessor Roy
Johnstone'S recommendation that
the Hulse property be assessed on
a par with other comparable prop
erty lying near the city.
Councilmen decided to ask the
library board to arrange to cut the
library budget in line with the re-
ductions made in the various other
departments of the city.

vention consideration until tonight's
session at 5 pm. tPST.
The Roosevelt managers had
planned to whip the platform
this afternoon and then recess until
5 pm. for nominating speeches and
bulls eye one-ballot denomination
of President Roosevelt. The plat
form delay reduced the afternoon
session to mere routine.
Nomination Possible
1t was expected that nominations
still could be made tonight unless
an extended floor battle develops
over the platform-a possibility.
The platform fight was started by
Sen. Claude Pepper of Florida, out
spoken advocate of American aid to
democracies and a member of the
Roosevelt third term strategy board.
Pepper demanded the resolutions
committee incorporate a clear-cut
declaration that the United States
will extend to Great Britain and
nations resisting aggression full ma
terial aid short of American man
power.
His proposal went we'll beyond

Lobby Where it Hurts

LODDy NHtit IL Iuit>
In his most diplomatic manner,
Yves He'll cautiously mentioned the
park recreation program Monday
night while his fellow councilmen
were brutally cutting city budgets.
At first the other members paid
scant heed.
Some time later He'll again slip
ped the subject into the discussion
and he continued. at intervals to
skillfully bring the matter before
the board. until one curious MEM
Ser asked him why in tarnation he
was SO concerned.
Its this way He'll explained
with a pleading look and a tear
in his voice. MY wife told me that
program had better go in the bud
get or I needn't come home!"
Whether the other members were
really fired up over the program, or
whether they were just afraid that
He'll might have to come stay with
them. we couldn't tell. Anyhow
He'll got the program. They made
Ell Centro safe for WeS.
