Arizona MayBan
Tax Dodging Auto
Plate Applicants

PHOENIX, Jan. 8. (UP)-The
county assessors office today re-
quested the highway department to
stop out-of-state automobile regis
trations by Arizona citizens.
J. D. Brush, Maricopa county
assessor, said that many persons
residing and working in Arizona
were registering their machines
in California or New Mexico to
secure lower licensing rees.
This practice is a definite viola
ton of state law and those who
engage in it are liable to severe
penalties when apprehended-and
while it may take time to catch up
with these violators, the law will
eventually reach them," Brush
warned.
"It is unfair for those who live
in this county and state and enjoy
all its public facilities to evade pay
ment of the motor vehicle fees re-
quired by law, by registering their
automobiles and obtaining license
plates in other states"
Brush asked the highway patrol

Olson Says Relief
Attack Just Effort
To DisCredit Hin,

LOS ANGELES, Jan. 3. CUP) -
Gov. Culbert Olson accused Cali
fornia business interests today OF
attempting to discredit his admin
istration by attacks against the re-
lief administration, which was deS-
cribed in a private investigators
report as mismanaged and domin-
ated by communists.
The chief executive answered his
critics by promising to discharge
any communists discovered in the
employ of any state relief office.
In two addresses last night, one
over a statewide radio network,
Governor Olson denounced COM
munists and "strongholdS of cap
italism' alike. In both he declared
that the people of California did
not elect a communist administra-
ton"
Replying to charges of miSman-
agement of relief, Governor Olson
told statewide audience that bus
mess interests were seeking to de
centralize relief administration as
a single unit and distribute its
functions to the supervisors of the
states SO counties.
These interests, he declared, ARE
intent on reducing their own taxes
no matter what happens to the
unemployed man and his family"
He cited the accusations of a re-
port compiled by San Francisco
committee on relief
"They are using every possible
device of propaganda and deceit
and story telling to make it appear
that unemployment relief is cost
ing too much money, that the state
relief administration is grossly in
efficient, that it is loaded down
with political appointees and that
il is over-run with communists"

He came here Immediately after
his release from the federal peni-

His new home is near the Pim-

Capone left the hospital shortly
after dawn this morning. John
Capone announced his brother was
at home; that the new residence
no longer needed to be a secret.
but that he wished that curiosity
seekers would stay away.
THE Al Capone of today is no
longer the Al Capone of recent
years John Capone said
DR.. Joseph Earl Moore, famous
SyphlologiSt who has been treating
Capone, said that his patient had
shown some improvement but still
was suffering from dangerous
disease and that it is too early to
say whether the treatment was en-
tirely successful.
Mr. AlphonSe Capone is suffer-

disorder for which he had recently
SAAAN'SA 5oiiO III 1oliC licdJIIleIlL dIlCl
for which further medical care is
still necessary" DR.. Moore said.
1t Is too soon to offer an opinion
as to the ultimate outcome. It can
not be determined for many months.
In the meanwhile, his condition is
such as to make his care outside
a hospital readily feasible, though
In order to provide the maximum
opportunity for recovery a pro-
longed period of rest and quiet is
desirable
For this medical reason, inter-
views with newspaper reporters and
photographers for the press are
advised against by his medical
attendants, who further wish to
call on public sense of fair play
to permit him to receive this medi-
cal care which is still essential il
! he is to recover"

Ba||ington Booth,
Founder Volunteers
Of America, Dies
Was Former Commander
Of Salvation Army in
u. S. and Australia
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
BLUE POINT, N. Y, Oct. S.
Ballington Booth, 81, president Of
the Volunteers Of America and
brother of Gen. Evangeline Booth,
retired head of the Salvation Army,
died at his home today after a long
Illness.
Mr.. Booth founded the Volunteers,
Protestant reform and benevolent
organization, in 1896. Formerly he
had been commander of the Saliva
ton Army in the United States and
Australia.
Besides his widow, Mrs. Maude
Booth. two children, Charles and
Theodore Booth, survive.
Mr.. Booth, born at Brighouse,
England. left the Salvation Army
when his father, Gen. William
Booth. the founder, refused to
rescind an order directing his son
to work outside the United States.
Young Booth resigned after his
American followers stormily pro-
tested that his transfer might mean
| disaster for the American movement
he had developed.
He ran his order on the theory
that you cannot talk to a man
about God when he is hungry and
half-clothed and has no place to
sleep. You have to feed him and
clothe him first"
His brother, Bramwell, eventually
succeeded their father as COM
mander in chief of the Salvation
Army.
At the age of 26, Mr.. Booth was
sent to Australia as commander of
the Salvation Army in that country.
He served two years and so we'll did
he succeed that in 1887 he was
transferred to America, then re-
garded as doubtful pioneer field
to establish the Army's work.
In 1896, he was ordered by London
headquarters to leave America and
begin work in another land. Infiuen-
tial friends advised him that to leave
the country would invite disaster
for the movement in the United
States. and a petition was sent to
London asking that the order of
transfer be reScinded.
General William Booth contended
that, since all Salvation Army work
ers took an oath TO obey head
quarters without hesitation. he could
not make an exception for member
of his family without raising the cry
OF favoritiSm and undermining the
very fabric Of the organization. He
refused to alter his decision.
The result of the controversy was
that Ballington Booth severed his
connection with the Salvation Army
in 1896. The same year, upon the
advice of friends who urged the
establishment of new movement,
he founded the Volunteers. He de-
voted the remainder of his life to
that organization.
