1t is apparent that in no case OF
violation of academic freedom, will
public officials willingly expose the
powers behind the scenes or the mo-
tives or the motives at work. But
the Cheney case proves conclusiyely
that oppressive powers are at work
and liberty destroying motives are in
volved.
The Cheney case is one that SYM
bolizes all of the deceit and dishon-
estly that must soon characterize
American life if a military dictator
ship is to pretend it is defending de-
mocracy.
Protests to the Board of Education
of Pasadena, CAL, against the dismis-
sal of Ralph Cheney should be made
by all peace loving organizations, both
farm and labor. Advance orders for
the new book of fiction, humor, wit

FIRST RAINS
FOR MONTH
LAST Week

The first rainfall of Importance In
the State since late July and early
August occurred during the week end
ing Tuesday, August 9th. Rainfall,
however, was in the form of scat
tered showers, some moderate, few
heavy, with occurrence entirely con-
fined to the southern sections. North
ern sections of the state continued
dry Temperatures were well above
normal, and where moisture was ade-
quate, were generally favorable for
advancing or maturing late grain, feed
and root crops. Sunshine was consid-
erably reduced, particularly over the
southern half of the state.
Harvesting and haying operations
rapidly tapered off, but threshing con-
tinued in full swing except as showers
delayed locally a day or two in south
ern districts Flax and some wheat
and oats in the higher valleys and
northern border districts remain to be
harvested, and a little second and
third alfalfa and wild hay is still I'M
cut; otherwise harvesting of small
grain and haying have been finished.
Farmers continued preparation OF
soils for fall seeding of winter wheat,
and additional localities were reported
where seeding has commenced al
though on no large scale as yet. Good
rains are needed for seeding opera
tions, as soil moisture supply is large
ly inadequate for satisfactory germi-
nation. A few fields are reported

Crusade and advocate of labor and
racial minority rights, Ralph Cheney
nationally known and recognized au
thor and poet has been refused rec.
ommendation for unemployment on
the staff of the adult education pro
gram in Pasadena, Cal This means
dismissal, though the Board of Edu-
cation is technically correct in main
tanning that it has not dismissed him.
This ousting depriyes him, his
gifted wife, Lucia Trent, and their
three children of their major source
of income. poetry, as is well known,
not being remunerative, and, while
the Board of Education of Pasadena
apparently is not concerned over that
feature, it depriyes the city of an edu-
Gator, internationally recognized in
his field

Freedom for Labor
Lies in Ownership
OF Industry
By JOHN CARSON
Washington Office of the
Cooperative League

Government" Tom Paine wrote,
like dress, is the badge of lost in
nocence"
In those few words, Paine showed
that the reason for the high cost of
government is the failure of men 10
govern themselves in dealing fairly
with their neighbor. No better illus
tration of that truth can be found than
in the operation of the NLRB. The
very existence Of the labor board is
an indictment of the intelligence of
our people; evidence that because of
the permanent moral and intellectual
blackout existing among some man
ayers of industry, it was necessary for
government to set up this tremendous
and costly machinery to protect q
right which should be as free and GER
tain as the right to breathe. There
was an example of why government
is costly.
1t is apparent that not yet can we
hope for general recognition of that
right of labor. The employers, who
still think in terms of THEIR work
ers and of the wages THEY pay, and
who will not recognize that it is the
