C.

Eaton, chief engineer of the flood control district. Bids for the work have been ordered by the Board of Supervisors to be In by the 27th inst. The first exploration work will be done at Site No, 1, two miles below the forks site, where work was begun last year on the high dam and stopped by the State Engineer following a landslide. The sites for the other two dams proposed are above the forks site. Tunnels and diamond drilling for cores will be done to determine whether the rock formations are such that they will make a foundation for the dam.

LARGER CORES "We plan to take a core two inches in diameter this tune as against the one and one-eighth-inch core taken for the high dam project," Engineer Eaton declared. "Such a core proved very successful before we began building the Tu-junga dam, now under constuction and, if not too expensive, we will take a three-inch core." The diamond drills, Eaton, explained, bore with a circular motion down into the rock. As the drills sink down a round core is made of the rock and other eartn formation showing conditions beneath the surface. The cores are taken to a depth of 100 feet or more. From fifty to 100 feet of solid rock makes a good dam formation, engineers declare.

WILL MAKE SURVEY Wayne Loel, consulting geologist employed by the Board of Supervisors for five days to make a preliminary survey of the- dam site before drilling begins, will begin his work several days in advance of the drilling crews. The money for the exploration work estimated to cost approximately $40,000, will come from money saved by Engineer Eaton on flood-contro. district conctracts performed last year, It is the plan of the flood-control district to build three dams in the Road Problems Met E.

Angeleno Heads Taxation Group Samuel K. Rindge of Los Angeles has been elected president of the California Taxation Improvement Association, it was announced yesterday following a meeting of the directors of that State-wide organization here.

Marvin L. Arnold was re-elected secretary and Charles P. Ross treasurer. BY HARRY CARR President Ortiz Rubio in Mexico City received a telegram last night from the Mexican delegates oi the International Pacific Highway convention that will go far toward assuring the construction of this road, joining Latin America to the Unit ed States. The telegram followed a speech delivered in behalf of Gov.

Filiberto Gomez, president of the convention and personal representative oi rresi dent Ortiz Rubio, and the speech of Gov. Gomez followed a report by E. E. East, chief engineer of the Automobile Club of Southern California, Poetic eloquence was brushed aside at the convention yesterday and the delegates got down to cold facts the force of which swept them off their feet. Mr.

East's report was a clear, forceful analysis of the problems facing this road both in point of financing and construction. It covered everything road conditions, soil, engineering methods and plans for financing. EARLY ACTION URGED Immediately following It, Senor Romandio Ferrera, secretary of the convention, made a brilliant, ringing address which he presented the plan devised by Gov. Gomez look ing toward the fulfillment of Mr. East's recommendations and the actual financing and building of the highway.

The plan of Gov. Gomez is to proceed immediately to the formation of a nation-wide International Pacific Highway Association in Mex ico with branches in every State affected; To take definite steps toward the crystallization of sentiment in Mexico for this highway and In securing the co-operation of the local and national chambers of commerce: To arrange with each Mexican State to make an earnest examination of its ability to finance whatever section of the great highway is to run through its territories. After this ability has been assessed, to take up the matter of further financing with the Mexican Federal government. When the extent of possible Federal co-operation has been ascertained, then to examine into other and further means of financial aid for the highway. This last, of course, refers to the possibility of receiving aid from private capital in the United States.

PLAN ADOPTED This plan was so clear and logical and practical that it was at once adopted by the convention without a dissenting voice. By vote, it was decided to send a telegram at once to President Ortiz Rubio and to the Governor of every Mexican State along the route of the highway informing them of the action of the convention and asking approval. After the adjournment of the meeting, Gov. Francisco Elias of the great State of Sonora told me that he considered this action to have virtually assured the building of the highway. "It is the voice of the authorized delegates of every State in Mexico that will be concerned with the building of the road," he iaid.

The session yesterday was filled with business and action. Gov. Ellas was selected as president of the day. Senor Miguel Angel Menendez, representative of the Governor of Lower California, proposed a plan to organize a big expedition of representative Los Angeles people to make a personal trip into Mexico to cover, the entire route of proposed highway. He said if the Automobile Club would sponsor it all the details would be taken care of in Mexico.

This brought a long ana animated discussion, but no definite action was taken. FEDERAL INTEREST J. S. Bright brought the United States government into the picture. He said that the government is deeply and sincerely interested in the construction of this highway and made an interesting speech, bringing out many vital facts.

He said the entire public rural road mileage in the United States is 3,016,000. Of this. 315,000 are in State highway systems, 180,000 tn Federal highway system. It has been the experience that no highway should be less than feet wide; 100 feet is preferable. Mr.

Bright strongly recommended that advertising signs, fruit (Continued on rage 2, Column 4) POOR PA BY CLAUDE ALLAN "Every time Ma gets real mad at me she works off her. anger by cleanin' house, so she's got the reputation of havin the cleanest house In our neighborhood." jg.ii!, futlUhe Rjrirf'ltrt Only eight days after Laura In-galls set an east-to-west transcontinental air record for women flyers, Mrs. ivenn mu- jf ipr. liMi-nrninn ir Australian pilot, raced her Eagle- rock Bullet mon- oplane across country to land! here yesterday I with an elapsed; fIvInK time of nuurs ana ioriy-3 three minutes less than it took Miss Ingalls.

The latter's plane is faster capable of cruising at 120 miles an hour and It is possible she may try a one-stop return flight with a refueling at Wichita, Kan. She hopes to get off for Valley Stream, L. I tomorrow or Sunday.

Outside of having the Wright J-6-5 120-horsepower motor checked, a a landing strut on the retractable landing gear straightened and an auxiliary oil tank installed, Mrs. Miller said her plane is in ship shape for the 2400-mile return. FORCED TO STOP The 26-year-old Australian woman left Valley Stream last Monday morning, making night stops at a private field fifteen miles west of Kansas City, Wichita, and Winslow, Ariz. "From St. Louis to Kansas City I was forced to hedge-hop along under a ceiling of 100 feet through rain and fog," Mrs.

Miller recounted. "I finally had to land before I reached Wichita my first night's destination. From Wichita to Albuquerque I also stayed close to the ground because there was a forty-five-mile headwind blowing at 2500 feet. "I never saw any mountains that looked so big as those you have out here saw nothing but peaks from Winslow In here and I came through Cajon Pass at 10,000 feet with Lake Arrowhead on my left. I figure that head winds added from two to four hours to my time.

it i can get corresponding aiding winds on my way back, I can make it in two hops with ten gallons of gas to spare on each one, not much of a safety margin, but I may try it." FLYING CLUB GUEST Mrs. Miller landed her Bullet at a.m. on Municipal Airport, four hours and ten minutes out of Winslow. She was timed and greeted at the port by Col. Richard Bar-nitz, field director, and Dudley Steele, head of the aviation department of Richfield Oil Company.

Last night she was entertained at the Flying Club of California and hopes to see something of the motion-picture studios today. She is making her headquarters at the Biltmore. The Australian pilot came into fame in 1927 when she flew from London to Tasmania, a trip of miles in thirty-two days, with Capt. T. Lancaster.

Since then she has done mostjsf her flying in the United States. She took third place in the 1929 women's air derby from Santa Monica to Cleveland, and eighth place in the 1929 Ford reliability tour, the only woman in the latter contest to place in the money. She is a transport pilot and was former test pilot for a New York aircraft firm. Her husband is in Melbourne, Australia, POMONA MAN KILLED WHEN TRUCK HITS CAR Walter O'Neal, 30 years of age, of 733 Hawthorne Place, Pomona, was killed yesterday at Holt and Erie streets, that city, when a truck struck his automobile, crushing it against a tree.

The cavalry of today does most of its fighting with machine guns and automatics." The armored car is a Cavalry weapon, Gen. Henry pointed out, but he added that armored cars and similar implements of war cannot penetrate mountains and forests, nor can they overcome streams more than three feet deep. Horses must be resorted to when conditions such as these face, armies and Gen.

Henry declared that horses are also more reliable than motored equipment when it comes to mud and sand. CONFERENCE ON OLYMPICS Gen. Henry came to Los Angele3 as the representative of the War Department to meet with officials of the Olympic Games relative to plans of Che Army to participate in the. various events in 1932, particularly the riding events. Army men will be entered in the modern pentathlon, which embraces long-distance running, fencing, pistol shooting, swimming and riding at speed across country.

The contract' was referred by the Council to the Water and Power Committee and the Board of Water and Power Commissioners, after Councilman Randall affected to see some mysterious element involved.

The matter was placed before the commission many months ago. The company proposes to Cake 6,000,000 gallons daily over a period of twenty The contract Includes the lease of six acres for a plant. For the first ten years the company makes a nominal payment to the city, after which the company agrees to pay a price fo be fixed by the city. The procedure was explained b.y City Engineer Jessup. Former Beach City Executive Cited by Court Superior Judge Hanby yesterday ordered that George E.

Buck, former city manager of Long Beach, be cited for contempt because he failed to appear in 'the office of Attorney S. S. Hahn and permit a deposition to be taken in the damage suit brought against him and his private investigator, Jack Cook, for asserted false imprisonment. Cook was sued with Buck by Mrs. Asbury, who charges that she was wrongfully arrested on a charge of conducting an improper concession at the beach.

STARTED AS A BOY Gov. Elias has built up this fortune through his own efforts. As a boy of 16 or 17 he inherited a Sonora cattle range with 1000 head of longhorns. The rest has done himself. He is now about 50 years of age.

HIS OWN MONEY The Governor took the political job as chief executive and major-domo of the gteat emplra of Sonora because there wer some things he wanted to see started chiefly roads. During his term, of office he ha spent more than 100,000 pesos a year out of his own pocket. With the money of the State and from his own pocket the Governor has imported the finest road machinery that can be bought. And the irony of it is that although a fine automobile driver Gov. Elias's favorite vehicle Is a cow pony, ANEW COUNTRY He is opening up an interesting and almost untraveled country by a new road building in the face of almost insurmountable obstacles.

This road is to run parallel to the American border from the old pueblo of Santa Ana to San Luir, directly south of Yuma. It will bring a new point of contact between the United States and Mexico. Eventually it is the intention to open a road from Saa Luis to Santa Ysabel, which will, in all human probability, provlda Phoenix and Yuma with a charming summer resort on the LOST MINES There is romance along this route. Along the border, touched by this new road, are many old Spanish mines. They were hastily closed at the time of the overthrow of the rule of Spain by Mexico.

The entrances of the old tunnels were hidden so skillfully that in many cases they have found the old dumps but cannot find the mines. Most of the ancient mines belonged to old Spanish families of the conquest, who had worked them for generations. At the time of the revolution they had 'no idea that they were closing them forever. PLUNGE CLASS FORMED A special swimming class for Girl Reserves, Camp Fire Girls and Girl, Scouts has been organized at the Young Women's Christian Association plunge, 941 South Figueroa. street, it is announced by Ella Stevers, director of physical education.

The class meets Mondays at 4 p.m. Boys from 8 to 10 year of age meet at 10:30 a.m. Saturdays, women at 10 a.m. Mondays and Thursdays, and business girls at 6 p.m. Tuesdays and Fridays.

Some contend that the money, under the law, can only be used for the high dam project as set out when the voters authorized the bond issue. Others, however, are of the opinion that the money can be used so long as it is expended for the project that will carry out the same work Intended for the high dam.

A friendly suit will be begun in the near future to obtain a ruling from the Supreme Court. Fire Commission Opposes Green for Exit Lights A general movement throughout the United States to change fire-escape lights in theaters, hotels, apartments and other buildings from red to green, as recommended by the national electric code, found lack of support from the Fire Commission yesterday when the question was broached by J. J. Backus, superintendent and general manager of the building and safety department. President Werdin declared that he didn't care what other cities are doing, but he is in favor of retaining the red lights.

Adoption of the green lights elsewhere, the commission was informed, is on the theory that people are accustomed to stop on seeing the red and feel safe to go ahead when facing green lights. The commission decided to hold a conference next week with the Building and Safety Commission to settle the matter for Los Angeles. MANACLED PILOT WILL FLY PLANE Legs and Knees to Guide Craft on Flight From San Francisco Using only his legs and knees to pilot his ship and with his arms manacled in such a position that he cannot touch the controls with his hands, Jimmie Angel, veteran pilot of more than 6000 hours' experience In the air, plans to land his General Western Meteor plane at Grand Central Air Terminal, Glendale, Sunday at 3:30 p.m. after a nonstop flight from San Francisco. Before leaving the Curtiss-Wright Alameda Airport in San Francisco Bay district.

Angel will be manacled by Chief of Police Vollmer of Berkeley. In case of an emergency Vollmer has arranged metal seals on the manacles which can be broken by a strong pull by the pilot. No special attachments to aid in the unusual flight will be used. The flight is planned to demonstrate the ease with which recently developed airplanes may be flown. The Meteor plane he is t'o flv is a high-wing monoplane powered by a ninety-horsepower Kinner motor and is planned for training and sport flying.
