The County Requests State Aid Along Santa Ana River Need for Extensive Project Cited by Way, Mogle in Sacramento A San Bernardino county delegation yesterday asked the state water resources board at Sacramento for flood control asssitance in the Santa Ana river basin.

The group's request for crr.sid-eration of its problem as a state-important project coincided with Board Member Phil D. Swing's plea for greater development of a statewide water program. "There is nothing so essential to the state in attaining its mammoth destiny, a position equal to that ot the east coast," Mr. Swing said. He said he would relegate California's gigantic postwar highway development program to second or even third place after water projects.

He asked a comprehensive program to prepare the state for a population of 20 million. The water resources board's aim, Mr. Swing said, should be to take th leadership in establishing policy and integrating plans and desires in various areas and interests.

Mogle, supervisor's board chairman. The area's topography, they reminded, with high mountains to the east, causes torrential rains which they said should be held for irrigation.

FERRYMAN company's product is paper board for containers. P. J. Moore, executive vice-pres-dent of the Central Manufactur ing district, informed the chamber directors the district is contemplating the erection of a steam plant that would use the affluent. DRAINAGE PROJECT The affluent would be conveyed to the Lytle creek wash in the vicinity of Base Line in a drainage line the construction of which has been authorized by the city, the flood control district and the Cen tral Manufacturing district.

The drain would handle the flood-waters of' the territory in and around the manufacturing district and also that of the northwest portion of the city which in big storms eventually flows through the heart of the city. Public officials urged the drainage plan rather than disposal through the sewer system in order to conserve the waste water from the proposed paper board plant. READY TO ACT In his comments before the board Mr. Flood said his company, which is a large operator in the Pacific northwest, was prepared to complete its negotiations for purchase of the site and order the machinery for the plant the moment public officials issued the necessary permit. The company has made a deposit of $42,000 on the purchase of a site within the Central Manufacturing district.

It would employ 100 plant workers, plus administrative and office staffs. Several paper box manufacturing concerns are awaiting decision of the Pacific company before completing details for their plants, which would employ several hun dred additional workers.

Onetime World Champion Killed Frankie Erne Struck I By Auto on Base Line Death came to one of America's oldtime boxers at 7 last night when Frankie Erne, 61, world's lightweight champion from 1903 to 1906, was struck and killed instantly by an 'automobile driven by Conway M.

Witnesses reported that he carried a jug of wine.

Erne was taken immediately to the county hospital, where a diagnosis attributed the death to internal and external traumatic injuries.
