modern warfare rain down their
wrath and obscure the lovely glow

Gas toK XIII Whole
Battalion MISSING
In San Pedro Area

SAN PEDRO, April /. CUP) -
Missing somewhere in the harbor
district today were two tin cans
which. if they are opened, will pour
out enough deadly gas to kill "a
whole battalion of men,"
The cans contain zyklon-B con-
centrate, a powerful fumigating gas
used in destroying vermin in ships
holds. The cans apparently fell off
a government truck near the water
front Saturday. A weekend hunt
by the harbor police force found
no trace of the cans, and today
there was the added fear that the
heavy rains might have washed off
the warning words: Poison Gas
Danger"
DR.. P. j. German of the SaE Pedro
public health service said the cans
hold potentially enough gas to kill
battalion
IF some one punches even a
small hole in one of the cans, every
one within a four foot radius will
meet instant DEATH he said, land
if they are opened in a house, every
one in the house will be killed"
Air mixing with the chemicals
when the cans are opened generates
the gas.

Farm Bureau Takes
Stand Against New

No increase in taxes no new

That was the stand of Region No.
l farm bureau Monday following
it's regular meeting in Riverside
Saturday in which a resolution was
passed opposing increase of state
taxes as proposed by one group of
legislators
The resolution was presented to
the bureau directors following the
principal address of the day by
Asscmblyman Dilworth of Los An
geles in which he defended action
of the assembly in cutting the state
relief appropriation
Unnecessary increases in the state
relief cost during the past few
years have placed too heavy a bur
den on taxpayers, Dilworth said,
and encouraged a waste of funds
in dealing with the vital problem.
Ten Imperial Valley farm bureau
members attended the regional
meeting which attracted 100 from
the five southern California coun-
ties. Those attending from the
valley were, Mr.. and Mrs. C. O.
