24.Hour Guard Put
On Imperial Dam
Under FbI Orders
Anti-SabOtage Orders
Come from Washington,
Declare Officials

A 24-hour guard was sched-
uled Friday for Imperial dam
and officers were stationed
at every reservoir and dam
in Arizona.
Federal Bureau of Investigation
headquarters in Phoenix denied any
specific threat of sabotage but said
that anti sabotage plans had been
issued from Washington, DC.
J. K. Rohrer, Reclamation Bureau
engineer in Yuma, explained that
placing a guard at Imperial dam
was authorized several days ago and
had been discussed for some time.
This is a regular precaution that
the bureau always takes in times
of emergency" Rohrer said. ut is
safety measure. There have been
no instances whatever of sabotage
at the dam and no hints or threats"
So far the guard plans include on
ly Imperial dam and not the All
American canal. Imperial Irriga-
ton district headquarters said that
no special guards have been author
lied for the power plants, but that
employees are on duty at the drops
24-hours out of the day.
In Arizona, United Press reported
all peace officers and the state
patrol were held in readiness under
instructions from Washington to
guard against any possibility of sab
otage. The Salt River Water Users
association placed anti sabotage
guards around all power plants ana
reclamation dams and guards were
stationed at other projects.
A special conference was called
for June 10 at Phoenix to which
all sheriffs and city police were
asked to send representatives.

Assembly Jockies
For Votes in Hot
Cargo Veto Scrap
Showdown Postponed to
Monday as Lawmakers
Depart for Holiday

SACRAMENTO, May 30.
(UP)-Battle lines formed
in the California assembly
today for a major debate OIL
the issue of overriding Gov.
Culbert L. Olson's veto of the bill
to outlaw hot cargo and secondary
boycotts, but holiday absences made
it unlikely that a showdown would
come until Monday. .
The senate easily overrode the
veto yesterday but a much stiffer
fight loomed in the assembly. Fifty
four votes are needed to override
in the assembly, where the bill OBJ
tanned only SO votes on original pas
sage.
The hot cargo bill threw the as
sembly into turmoil last night. De-
spite the regular session scheduled
for today in both houses, some leg
islators left for their homes to en-
Joy the Memorial day weekend.
A second complication arose when
San Francisco legislators and lobby
lists celebrated their reapportion-
ment victory with an impromptu
cocktail party. San Francisco was
able to keep one of the two assem-
bly, seats which southern California
had tried to take away.
Only 33 members answered the
roll call for last nights session
Lacking a quorum, this session re-
cessed until today.
Nearly all the original 33 re-
spondents had left the chamber
when tardy assemblymen began
struggling in, including c. Don Field
who flew here from Glendale to at
tend the hot cargo session.
The late comers called another
session, but only 35 answered the
rollcall and the session broke up
again. Only four OF five of the 80
assemblymen attended both meet

Officer Reveals;
German Dreadnaught
Larger Than Ratings
Showed, is Belief

A BRITISH PORT, MAY
30. (UP) A British naval
officer who participated in
the fight against the Bis
marck said on arrival here
tonight the German dreadnaught
appeared to be closer to $4,000 tons
than the rated figure of $4,000 tons.
The British officer said it ap-
peared the Bismarck probably was
considerably larger than the British
battle cruiser, Hood. 42,100 tons,
which was thought at the time OF
her sinking last Saturday by the
Bismarck to be the largest capital
ship afloat.
THE Bismarck was colossus
which withstood terrific punish
ment,' the officer said. "She un-
doubtedly was above anything VIC
thought of and $4,000 tons must have
been necessary to give her such
strength
He said in addition to being hit
with shells, the Bismarck was hit
with three torpedoes from aircraft
and two from destroyers, another
or possibly two from the battleship
Rodney and another from the
cruiser Norfolk.
Despite this pounding. he said,
the Bismarck was still afloat until

ATLANTA, Ga, May 30 (UP)-
A serious drought in the southeast

in a U. S. weather bureau report
that dry air mass which had been
stagnant over the area for several
days appeared to be breaking up

scattered rains.
A slight possibility of general
rain exists, the bureau said, but
temporary relief in sections might
be expected tomorrow and Saturday.
No rain has fallen east of the Miss

One source said some time ago
intelligence officials received infor-
nation that a group of saboteurs
had set Memorial day for commit
ing scattered acts of violence in air
craft factories, at naval bases and
at army posts.
Significantly, these key establish
ments were given unusual guard to-
day. although war and navy depart
ment and federal bureau of investi-
CATION officials diSclaimed know
ledge of any threat of nationwide
sabotage. Army and navy officials
said that no orders for any unusual
strengthening of guard and patrol
forces had gone out from Washing
ton. The military services were in
clined to attribute the moves, which
included placement of anti-aircraft
guns atop west coast airplane fac
tories, and patrol of naval bases
by men and ships as drills ordered
by local commanders.
WAR DEPT ACTS
1t was learned orders had been
sent from the war department with
in the last week to commanding
officers asserting sufficient steps
must be taken to protect army forts
while field forces are engaged in

the department is seriously con-
cerned' with the present insufficient
cy of personnel to provide security
''for the posts during maneuvers,
particularly in reference to the fire
hazard"

War Robert P. Patterson on We'd
