LaFollette Committee Investigation Of Civil Liberty Abuses Under Way The long-awaited LaFollette committee investigation of civil liberty abuses in California opened in San Francisco last week with Governor Culbert Olson heading a long list of witnesses called to testify. Olson, who appeared Wednesday in response to an invitation sent to the governors of California, Oregon and Arizona, opened his testimony with a lern request that county officials in Madera and Fresno counties cooperate with the senate committee. In telegrams sent to Sheriff W. O. Justice and District Attorney George Mordecai of Madera and to Sheriff George Overholt of Fresno, the governor requested that the officials turn over files and records which they had refused to produce at subpoena hearings Monday. Speaking of the violence in the recent cotton strike in the San Joaquin valley, Olson said that the administration would tolerate no further violence in California agriculture — from either side. "I take advantage of this occasion to serve notice to employers and to employes, and in particular, to local law enforcement agencies in the rural counties; that we intend to maintain, not only civil liberties, but the public peace in this state," he said. The 48 page report read by the governor to the committee covered practically every phase of the migratory labor problem in the state. Realty Board Will Seat New Officers Installation of new officers of the Anaheim Realty board elected last Thursday noon, is planned in January. H. P. Tobin was elected president to succeed Bryan Bostick. Other officers are R. S. Summers, vice president, and Ray Tozier, secretary-treasurer. Placentia Rancher Is Called by Death James Forbes, 76, a rancher at Placentia since 1891, died at his home last Saturday and funeral services were conducted Tuesday in Fullerton. Dr. Graham C. Hunter officiated and burial was in Loma Vista cemetery. Forbes, a native of Scotland, is survived by his widow, Lulu E. Forbes; a son, C. Leonard Forbes of Avenal; two daughters, Mrs. R. P. Kirkham, Rio Bravo, Calif., and Mrs. E. R. Wood of Los Angeles. CHRISTIAN SCIENCE CHURCH These words of the psalmist, "All thy works shall praise thee, O Lord; and thy saints shall bless thee. They shall speak of the Kingdom, and talk of thy power." are the Golden Text in the Lesson-Sermon on Sunday in all Churches of Christ, Scientist. The question, "Is the Universe, Including Man, Evolved by Atomic Force?" is the "I take advantage of this occasion to serve notice to employers and to employees, and in particular, to local law enforcement agencies in the rural counties; that we intend to maintain, not only civil liberties, but the public peace in this state," he said. The 48 page report read by the governor to the committee covered practically every phase of the migratory labor problem in the state. Economist Paul Taylor of the University of California presented an even lengthier survey of the problem in a testimony that covered his findings during 12 years of study. Taylor drew a sharp line between the small farmer and the corporation type farmer in his approach to the labor problem. Over a third of the farmers in the state, he said, employed no hired labor at all. "Plainly," Dr. Taylor said, "The activities of these small farmers, and the large additional percentage who employ but little labor, are no part of the problem which your committee is here to study." Labor troubles in agriculture, he pointed out, "occurred between those individuals or corporations who are more properly called "agricultural employers" (rather than farmers) and the numerous workers they employ." He warned that the migratory problem in California was a "preview" of what would happen in agricultural areas throughout the country. "This very thought is startling—every American farmer who is in the path of those forces is potentially an agricultural laborer who someday may be forced to depend for substance on wages earned by working on the land of another," Taylor showed. The professor's lengthy report presents countless records and statistics to show that California agricultural labor troubles were far out of line with national averages. He also presented facts on the increase of absentee and corporation ownership of farm lands. The hearings Wednesday were presided over by young Bob LaFollette (Prog. Wisc.) who listened with attention to the story of California labor trouble. Both he and Senator Elbert Thomas, (D. Utah) interrupted testimony to ask pertinent questions on the nature of the state's problem. At the hearings' opening Wednesday, Henry Fowler, chief counselor for Agriculture Department, said: **CHRISTIAN SCIENCE CHURCH** These words of the psalmist, "All thy works shall praise thee, O Lord; and thy saints shall bless thee. They shall speak of the Kingdom, and talk of thy power," are the Golden Text in the Lesson-Sermon on Sunday in all Churches of Christ, Scientist. The question: "Is the Universe, Including Man, Evolved by Atomic Force?" is the subject. Paul's words to the Corinthians are included in the Lesson-Sermon: "For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day. For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory; while we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen; for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal." Among the passages from "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy are the statements: "Man is, and forever has been, God's reflection. God is infinite, therefore ever present, and there is no other power nor presence. Hence the spirituality of the universe is the only fact of creation." He also presented facts on the increase of absentee and corporation ownership of farm lands. The hearings Wednesday were presided over by young Bob La-Follette (Prog. Wisc.) who listened with attention to the story of California labor trouble. Both he and Senator Elbert Thomas, (D. Utah) interrupted testimony to ask pertinent questions on the nature of the state's problem. At the hearings' opening Wednesday, Henry Fowler, chief counsel for the committee, outlined the scope of the investigation with charts and records on labor troubles since 1933. Out of 180 strikes, Fowler showed that acts of violence had been reported in 65. He presented further material that told of crops affected, reasons for strikes, and numbers of workers involved. Preliminary hearings Monday called Associated Farmer leaders from 10 northern counties as well as state officers to produce files and records. Also subpoenaed were corporation representatives, county officials, and citizens committee leaders. From the individuals called and the material collected, it was apparent that investigations would cover the Salinas lettuce strike in 1936, the Stockton Cannery strike in 1937, the Earl Fruit company strike in Marysville this spring, and the recent cotton strike in Madera. Townsend Club to Name New Council Anaheim Townsend club No. 1 will elect a council of 12 members to guide activities of the organization during the coming year at its meeting tonight. Twenty-one persons have been nominated. Slogan of the club this month is "every member get a member in December," according to Mrs. Ida Freeman, club president. BY WARREN BAYLEY PASO, TEXAS—Over the past 10 years I have occasion to visit this border collis many times. Each visit led to my perplexity. It is one of the most unique problems of any city in the States. In the beginning the ennown was on the Mexican the Rio Grande river. Earmanish Conquistadors, in for the Seven Cities of Arizona and New Mexico, and the settlement and named Paso del Norte, which trans-English means, "The Pass North." Later, when a was started on the American name was shortened to "The Pass"—and the town was renamed Today the combined population is approximately 150,000 or 45,000 in Jaurez; 105,000 Paso. The 45,000 people in Jaurez, really all are Mexicans. That use, is to be expected. But the unusual part—of the people in El Paso over also Mexicans. Because high percentage of Latin people and because of usual trade relations be- cause of a high tariff. El Paso residents can bring in a carton of Mexican cigarettes duty free. Liquor is much the same. Texas has a law forbidding its sale by the drink. Mexico is wide open. Result—El Paso goes to Jaurez to raise whoopee. Then there's the salary question. On the American side its pretty hard to command a living wage. Mexicans, because of lower living conditions, will take the job for less. I asked the girl at the Chamber of Commerce what effect the new wage and hour law would have. She couldn't see how the merchants could afford to meet the minimum requirements. Any way, you'll like El Paso. It's surrounded with interesting things to see and the climate is wonderful. Thousands of people suffering with lung trouble go there each year to regain their health. The country abounds with the history of many civilizations and all in all its well worth your time to see. The chances are good you'll go back many times.

When the switch failed, he reached up to turn the bulb. The globe, however, was broken and Lent grasped the live wires and became "frozen" to the socket. Blackburn, seeing his companion's condition, grasped Lent's coat tail and managed to drag the latter away from the socket. Lentz was taken to a Whittier hospital for treatment and later was allowed to return home. for the first half of December on December 19 instead of the usual date of December 26, it was decided.
