PROBATION To
MRS. JOHNSON
Continued On Page 81

BaSing his decision on the fact
that the jury had returned a ver-
dict of guilty and further because
the possession of weapon pre-
cludes probation, Judge Mayfield
this morning denied the application
for probation made by Mrs. Gladys
A. Johnson.
Mrs. Johnson, the wife of Grover
johnson, San Bernardino attor-
ney, was arrested several weeks ago
when she displayed a pistol on the
court house grounds during an al
tercation her husband is said to
have had with several men near
the east entrance to the building.
She was tried, found guilty by
a jury in justice court and sentenc-
ed to either pay fine of $3.50 or
spend 125 days in the county Jail.
She entered her application for
probation following the passing OF
the judgment by the court.
= In superior court this morning
hearings on the appeals of Emma
Cutler and j. H. Dickson against
the judgments given in the city
courts of Ell Centro and Brawley
were to have been held. The Cut
Ter case was transferred to depart
ment No. 2 but owing to another
case being on trial in that court
today it will not come up for hear
ing until tomorrow in all probable
ity.
Dickson filed a brief with the
district attorneys office and asked
that it be submitted to the court
without argument. 1t was received
and the prosecutor office has not
had time as yet to read this brief.
Cutler and Dickson received jail
sentences for their activities IN
connection with the disturbances
during the recent lettuce strike.
Grover johnson, attorney for these
two, had notified the court that he
would be unable to be present here
today. His wife was represented III
Judge Mayfield's court by Alfred
Blaisdell during the hearing of her
application for probation.

Nazis Assert
Christ Aryan

BERLIN, April 81. U.P)-Jesus
Christ was claimed by the Nazis
today as a true Aryan.

cred proof that Jesus was not a
Jew but of Aryan origin.
First, he said, all of Christ IS
teachings were of unselfishnesS,
similar to those of the Nazis.
Secondly, he held the fact that
he drove the money lenders from
the temple was unassailable proof
of Aryan mentality
The story of the circumcision,

in Swift Internacionale, Lake Shore
