DINUBA, Cal, March G. (UP)-
Eleven year-old Diane Locke, who
is perhaps the youngest newspaper
editor and publisher in America,
was worried today.
Her weekly newspaper, The zeph-
yr, started year ago. Now, with
the second year Of publication be-
ginning, Diane faces the problem
of billing original subscribers to
renew their subscriptions at 81 a
year.
The first anniversary edition CT
the Zephyr was printed Feb. 81.
Diane printed the first copies of
the Zephyr on February 81, 1910,
from rubber type set. She was
then 10 years old and in the fifth
grade.
Her father, William E. Locke,
editor and publisher of the Dinuba

The only help she gets is an occa-

Defense Presents
Producers AIibi
In Tax Evasion

NEW YORK, Mar. UP) =
Defense counsel made its opening
statement today at the federal in
come tax evasion trial of Joseph
M. Schenck, movie producer, who,
according to the prosecutor, spent
$50 for a mattress for his sister,
in-law, 5000 to insure young wo-
mans automobile and $130 to trans
port his masseuse across the coun-
try by airplane, but watched his
grocery bills SO closely his secre-
tary had to note the times he had
lunch away from home.
Schenck is charged with evad-
ing $412, 045 in income taxes. He
is chairman of the board of Goth
Century Fox Film Corporation. The
corporations eastern representa-
tive, Joseph H. Moskowitz, is a CO.
defendant. He is alleged to have
prepared Schenk's tax returns for
the years 1885 to 1887
Matthias F.. Correa assistant
United States attorney, said in his
opening statement yesterday that
Schenck concealed big gambling
winnings, that he cleaned up" in
betting on the presidential election
in 1886 and demanded cash in pay
ment, refusing checks which could
be traced; that he deducted such
things as the mattress, automobile
insurance, the masseuse's plane
fare from coast to coast and a
$4,000 expense on his yacht, as
business expenses" and that he
claimed fake stock losses.

WASHINGTON, March (UP)-
Secretary of Interior Harod L. Ickes
in formal statement today attack
ed the governor of Oregon as an
advocate of monopoly and hold
ing company control"
Ickes said that Gov. Charles A.
Sprague was speaking for privately
owned utility companies when he
allegedly attacked an allotment of
Bonneville power unGer a 20-year
contract with the Reynolds Metal
Co. Ickes simultaneously refused to
sign another contract with the Alu-
minum Co., of Amel.c because
ALCOA then would have had SIS
per cent of Bonneville ultimate
power output.
Like all advocates or monopoly
and holding company control
Ickes said, Gov. Charles A. Spra-
que of Oregon has, in his attack

IckeS uumbuStS
Oregon Governor

on the recent allotment of power
from Bonneville, sought to confuse
the issues instead of meeting the
facts.
After insisting that he is not
speaking for the aluminium COM
pany, (cf America, the governor
proceeds to act as its advocate. He
indicts himself by the denial and
convicts himself by his advocacy.
Perhaps the governor has yet to
learn the wisdom of acting in such
a manner that no one can say to
him ,'methinks thou dost protest
too much
The governor with an utter dis
regard of the facts involved, has
sought to use the incident to make
an oblique but perfectly apparent
attack on public ownership of pow
err. He claims he is not speaking
for the Aluminium company of
America.
I'VE know that he is not speaking
for the people of the northwest.
The privately owned utility inter-
ests, intent on maintaining their
vast holding company empires, are
only other interested party.
rs the governor, then speaking
for them? Is he raising the cry of
dictatorship by Washington in an
effort to blind the people of the
northwest to the dictatorship of
monopoly Is he seeking to pro-
tect the remote control of the hold
ing companies?.
Il am inclined to believe the
governor when he says he is not
speaking for the Aluminium COM
pany. 1t is apparent to me that he
is speaking for the privately owned
utility companies or for the eastern
interests which control these utility
companies through their holding
companies. . BY attacking the adj
ministration OF publicly owned
power system, he seeks to under
mine confidence in public owner
ship.
Bonneville will be administered,
as congress intended, in the inter
ests of the people. We will continue
to reserve power for publicly owned
distributing systems, as the law
provides; we will continue to sell
the power as directed by congress
III such a manner as to prevent
the monopolization thereof by linn
tied groups
