dunes west of Winterhaven Tuesday
night.
Deputy sheriffs refused to COM

Mr.. and Mrs. johnson said Wilkie
forced them to remain in his car

they escaped from him after the
alleged attack and robbery.
Officials were probing into Will
kie's past in an effort to determine
if he had been connected with
crimes similar to the ones Mr.. and
Mrs. johnson accused him of.
Wilkie was arrested in Westmor-

iiidi hcClIlS dulIlllilSUl dtiOll, Wdo II
Imperial county Friday to help the
local committees launch the Impe-
rial county unit of the federal plan
to utilize the surplus products OF the
American farmer.
Based on the 1910 population OF
9,740, Garwood said, approximately
4,l59 persons are receiving public
relief. The stamps will be sold and
given to these recipients of public
relief, he said.
Relief recipients will be issued
orange colored stamps in the amount
of their food budgets set by the re-
lief agencies. With these stamps
they may buy any food they wish
just as other purchasers do. Then
the surplus marketing administra-
ton will give the same relief recip-
tents blue tinted stamps with which
they may purchase surplus COM
modities only The surplus commod-
tiles will be clearly marked in all
places where food is sold, Garwood
said.
Blue stamps will be issued in I'M
perial county at the rate of APP
proximately 100000 annually, Gar
wood said.
Persons eligible to receive the
stamps include those on the relief
rolls of the following agencies-old
age security, aid for dependent chill
dren, the needy blind, county well
fare, SRA, WPA, an6 the agricul-
tural workers section of the Farm
Security administration.
The Imperial county committee
will arrange mass meetings of re-
tailers all over the county, Garwood
said, so they will know how to ham
die the stamps, mark and display
the surplus commodities.
Any food merchant or any holder
of food order stamps using the
stamps in any way other than per-
mitted by the regulations is guilty
of a felony and is subject to fine
and imprisonment.

package was neatly bound and of a
