Higashl was arrested Tuesday on a -charge of violating the State law prohibiting foreigners or ex-convicts from possessing a deadly weapon. Higashl is a Japanese and has served a term In Leavenworth Federal prison for illegal narcotic peddling. Following his arrest, Higashl charged that George (Rush) Meadows, now in the County Jail, accepted $5000 on a promise to delay deportation proceedings against the Japanese.

GUN LAW CHARGE Higashl was arraigned before Municipal Judge Ballard yesterday on charges of possession of a gun by an ex-convict. At the request of Investigator Carter the court fixed bail pending preliminary hearing on the 30th Inst, at $10,000. A revolver was found in Higashi's rooms, detectives charged, when narcotic squad men called Tuesday to Investigate a report made by a Chinese whose identity is concealed. This Chinese said Higashi offered, for $960, a doctor's diploma which he represented would entitle the buyer legally to peddle dope.

NO SPARKS NOW As radio transmitters are installed on -planes the demands on the elec trical system Increase materially, Lut a survey of the situation indi cates that there is no increase In the Are hazard if caution Is exer cised in building and setting them up. A few years ago when spark transmitters were in general use It is admitted that radio installations on planes would have been danger' ous. But it is pointed out that tube transmitters now are used, and with no more hazard than from any other electric bulb installation, such as lights, lor instance. APPARATUS FOOLPROOF "Radio apparatus is no more hazardous than any other apparatus carrying electric current," it is de clared by Commerce Department of- nciais. "In addition to batteries some radio equipments carry a wind- driven generator as a source of cur rent.

These do not bring in any exceptional or alarming nre haz ard, especially as they cease to gen erate electricity when the plane is stopped, and, therefore, could not start a nre in a wrecked plane. GUNBOAT VISITS SAN DIEGO PORT SAN DIEGO, July 24. San Diego was visited today by a gunboat from the Asiatic station, the U.S.S.

Believed Broken By a "Times" Staff Representative SANTA MONICA, July 24. (Exclu sive) Modern medical science has saved the life of tiny twenty-three day-old Marie Valle, and today In a humble home at 1913 Seventeenth street, this city, where the "oxygen baby" occupies the only bed in the house, happiness overspread the faces of a Mexican brickyard labor ing man, the father, a hard-working mother, and a little family of sisters and brothers. At 3 p.m. Dr. D.

O. Goldlng told the lnhalator squad of the Santa Monica fire department that their oxyeen treatments could be sus pended. For 114 hours Assistant Chief Marshall and his efficient crew had been fighting for the baby's life, starting last Friday night. Artificial breathing alone kept the child alive. No princess of the royal blood ever received more attention than this offspring of a Mexican laborer's family.

It was declared all records in Infant lnhalator cases of the kind had been broken. Early this morn lng bright brown eyes opened to survey Capt. Crampton and Fire man Inglehart as the little chest pumped valianty to obtain oxygen from the lnhalator mask on the pil low. Marie screwed her face Into a wrinkle of approval. She knew her friends and was glad to be able to greet them with a faint coo.

The firemen who "breathed for her" had bought her a blue blanket. Almost every man on Chief Mohr's forces has served on the shifts which Dumped oxygen day and night. As sistant Chief Hardman, Capt. Bedford, Fireman Kenner and 60 many they can not all be named, were in line for special recognition for their services. They want no monetary reward and expected none.

The father and mother have slept on chairs, the children on the floor, when neighbors could not accom modate them in crowded houses in the city's Mexican quarter. Once Chief Hardeman made a rush trip to Los Angeles for more oxygen. He was back In thirty-eight minutes. Marie enjoyed a good breakfast this morning. She had outdone her nearest rival in this sort of "refueling contest." The former record, as stated here, was 109 hours in 1928.

Marie won on a fire department's endurance and devotion to duty. KEJK-1170 256 3 U. KFI 640 468.5 M. KPWB-KPSN-930 31S.6 KHJ- 900 333 I KMTR 570 526 M. KNX-1050 285 5 M.

ORIGIN IN PRISON Investigator Carter of the State Medical Board investigated from the angle that Higashi had tried to start a "diploma mill." Mr. Car ter said Higashi, Meadows, a doctor and an Indiana lawyer were convicts together in Leavenworth pris on. There, Carter says. Hitrashi told him, the scheme was proposed by tne imprisoned doctor who professed to have good connections with real medical colleges.

This doctor, the investigator added, convinced his little clique of inmates that it would be a nroflta- ble "racket" to establish "medical schools" In Los Angeles, Mexico, Indiana and Shanghai, each man to nead one. Higashl was to set up tne tonangnai branch. NO DIPLOMA SOLD Higashl told Mr. Carter that the doctor in prison said he had con nections for establishing branches of tne university of Chicago medical scnooi. The State board investi gator continued that Higashi said he had connections with a develon- ment company with offices in the Law B'll'f'ng; and trwt this com pany passed resolution authoriz ing to "iciics in China.

When Higashi was a medical school diploma was found in his possession. Investigator Carter has no evidence that any diploma was sold or given away. The asserted offer to sell the unnamed Chinese a diploma, Carter adds, evidently followed. "Chute" Factory Builds Branch SAN DIEGO, July 24.

BOY INJURED IN GAS EXPLOSION ALTADENA, July 24. The victim of an explosion which resulted when he dropped a lighted match into the gasoline tank of an abandoned automobile, 7-year-old Robert Canty of 839 Woodbury Road, la reported to be in a serious condition today at the Altadena Hospital. After recovering consciousness, the boy explained that he had been pretending that he was trying to break the transcontinental automobile record and wanted to see whether he "had enough gas to get across the desert." "No hunting" signs, say J. W. Wilson and George Wheeler, cast a shadow on the hospitality of the Ozarks.

On the Wheeler farm signs invite you to hunt all you please end then ask you to come to the-house for dinner. Wilson extended his invitation through a newspaper ad that reads; "PI Valley, Hunt all you darn please on my land and when you get varmints. enough caught, bring them to the house and skin them and get a snort of Bull's Herbs and iron-J.
