Germans Operating Large Radio Plant Near Border Reported
Washington dispatch says German Americans along the Mexican border are under government inquiry for running a wireless plant at Mexicali across from Calexico. Groups of up to five hundred Germans reportedly gather weekly at a store tied to prewar propaganda, using the station capable of reaching Mexico City. Many are believed linked to a defunct U S propaganda network, with some moving to Guaymas and then to the City of Mexico. Officials suspect enemy funds finance the exodus as the operation shifts locations.

Amend Car Ordinance Sets Bond Scope for Driverless Cars
Amendments to city ordinance allow blanket bonds for driverless cars instead of per vehicle bonds.
