tion Body Acts on Fed

Spreading of propaganda in the
schools was condemned in the first re-
port today of the National Education
Associations committee of 10 named to
probe such activities, following the
disclosures of power trust propaganda
ing in the schools in hearings before

1T is the unanimous conviction of
the committee that the function of
the school is to teach children how to
think, not what to think. The schools
belong to all the people and exist to
serve all the children. 1t is not right
to indoctrinate the minds of young
people with either one side or the other
of controversial questions. It is not
right to use in the schools material
which seeks to advertise or bring profit
to any agency in the community

Ballentine Sent
To San Quentin

s. C. Ballentine, 26, of Imperial
was ordered committed to the San
Quentin penitentiary by Judge A.
c. Finney this morning for period
of from one to five years, the term
prescribed by law. The judge in
DENYING Ballentine probation and
sentencing him to the penitertiary
recommended that if his behavior
there merited it, that he be extended
leniency by the prison board.
The judge made the ruling des-
pite recommendation by Probation
Officer Griffin that the defendant
be granted probation. Numerous let
tcrs were read from former employees
urging that Rallentine be given every
consideration and pointing out that
his present offense was his first.
Ballentine entered q plea of guilty
recently to charges of having made
false entries in the records of the
Farmers and Merchants Bank of
Imperial where he was employed.
Upon his plea of guilty to that
charge, two other counts against
him including one of grand theft
were dismissed by the court.

Three Draws On
Calexico Card

Johnnie Martone and Kid Wright
slugged their way to a 10 round
draw in the main event at Calexico
last night. Both fighters are heavy
hitters and several times the spec
tators expected to see the bout end
ed by knockout but the fighters
always weathered the storm and
kept their feet. The fight lacked
little of the "pep' expected in
main event but satisfied the crowd.
Homer Gaines and Johnny Lee
went hammer and tongs to a draw
in the semi final. The little fellows
kept the crowd on edge throughout
the battle and deserved the ap-
plause which was given them at
the end.
Backers of Eddie Morris of Cal
exico threw the towel into the ring
after two minutes of fighting in the
third round. Andy Brooks had Nor
ris on the floor for counts of nine
in the second and third rounds. The
Calexico boy was hopelessly out
classed.
Battling johnson and Young Ma
Honey started off the evenings
program with a draw. They, too,
were well matched and put up plen-
ty of action.

LOS ANGELES, Feb. 4.-Bewarc
of fake insanity defensesl
This is the stern tone of the su-
prcme court of California in its
decisions of cases involving insan-
ity defenses.
"The defense of insanity is one
which may be, and sometimes Is,
resorted to in cases in which the
proof of the crime is so full and
complete that any other means of
avoiding conviction and escaping
punishment seems hopeless.
"While, therefore, this is de
fensc weighed fully, fairly and just
", and, when satisfactorily estab,
lishcd, must commend itself to the
sense of humanity and Justice Of
the jury, they must examine it with
care lest an ingenious counterfeit
of this mental infirmity shall fur.

McTigue on the canvas and thus
gained little prestige from his vic
tory.
AS for McTigue he has resumed
the old familiar role of cautious
defensive fighter who can tie up an
opponent until the latter's arms are
weary, but who will never be a real
threat to any ones title again.
The mighty right cross which the
old 1rishman developed last year to
flatten Paul Berlenbach and others
of the division, was not in evidence
last night.

right to Lomski's face, But there
was little Steam behind the punches

the moment, appears as safe in
Tommy Loughran 3 hands as that of
the unlimited division is in the ca,
