Imperial Valleys summertime
dangerous ages are topside of SO
and below two years, County Health
Officer DR.. E. B. Godfrey revealed
Saturday.
In a compilation of 76 so-called
heat deaths in Imperial county
during the last five summers, DR..
Godfrey noted that so of the 76
were either over so years of age or
under two years.
Heat, by itself, is far more rare
as cause of death than most per-
sons suspect, DR.. Godfreys survey
showed, and at the same time the
doctor declared that drunkenness is
not necessary in cases where al
cohol plays part in heat proStra-
ton. The victim need not be drunk,
DR.. Godfrey said but needs only to
have increased his body temperature
and accelerated his heart action
to be less resistant to heat.
DR. Godfrey's figures showed that
Id persons have died from causes
related to heat already this summer,
and reported that in 1887 there
were II deaths, Ia in 1888, IL in
1899, 10 in 1910 and only two in
the mild summer of 1941.
Divided by age groups, the list
showed that 30 we're infants under
two years, two victims were in their
sos, 10 in their 70's, II above 60, IA

Judge Finds Chief
Of Farmers Not
Guilty Of Charge

the Associated Farmers of
Imperial county, Saturday
was acquitted in a San Diego
federal court of conspiracy
to defraud government lending
agency.
w. E. Walters, charged jointly
with Bennett, also was freed in the
conspiracy case, but on the pre-
vious day he had been declared
guilty along with j. Cliff Hatfield,
former Imperial Valley rancher, of
conspiracy in an entirely separate
case involving an alleged phantom
herd" of cattle on which Hatfield
borrowed money from the Ell Centre
production Credit corporation when
Walters was treasurer.
LEADERS LED SUPPORT
Bennett, who had been supported
throughout his trial by numerous
leaders in the Imperial Valley com
munity, was completely exonerated
in a 45-minute decision delivered
in San Diego Saturday morning b.
Federal Judge Paul J. McCormic!;
I Bennett had been charged in a
! federal grand jury indictment with
concealing liabilities when he ap-
piled for loan from the Ell Centro
Production Credit corporation. Tes-
timony during the trial revealed that
Bennett had acted on Walters ad-
vice in making out his application
for a loan.
Bennett was defended by Attor-
neys Harry Horton, Russell Yeager
and r. B. Whitelaw. Walters, in the
trial involving Bennett, was defend
ed by San Diego woman attorney.
Marie Herney.
FOUND GUILTY
! In another trial which ended Fri
day, Walters and Hatfield were held
guilty of conspiracy to defraud the
government through loan of S23,-
$50 to Hatfield on herd of cattle

ers certified he had counted.

Music Union Gar Says
He'll Not Withdraw

NEW YORK, Aug. 1. CUP
The government was ex
pected to file suit next week
in an effort to break the or.
der of James c.. Petrillo
president of the American Fedora
ton of Musicians, stopping $4,000
union musicians from making pho
nograph records and radio tran
scriptions for commercial use.
The order became effective last
midnight.
Petrillo turned down the plea OF
Elmer Davis, director of the office
of war information. who asked him
to rescind the order as patriotic
duty.
Il cannot grant your request to
cancel the notice that the ATM
members will not play for transcript
tions or records" he wrote Davis
That notice, however, does not
apply to recordings for the armed
forces OF the nation, or for the
president of the United States"
INJUNCTION HINTED
Attorney General Francis Biddle
had indicated that an injunction
would be sought by the justice de-
partment against the order, and in
formed sources said a suit would
be filed probably Monday in New
York or Chicago.
Petrillo wrote Davis that he was
absolutely misinformed through
out.

stop making popular and classical
records for home consumption" his
letter said. This is not so. The

He said that the attorney general
made the final presentation for the
government and that counsel for
the defense then finished their
case.
FACE DEATH PENALTY
Mccoy did not disclose why the
commission planned to reconvene
at 2 p. m, but it was believed that
deliberations on the guilt or in
nocence of the saboteurs, at least
seven of whom face maximum PEN
atty of death, probably will begin
then.
This would make it possible for
the commissions verdict and SEN
tenceS to be transmitted to the
White House for final review by
President Roosevelt
The death penalty will be de-
manded for at least seven of the
observation-disclosures who appealed to
the supreme court for writs of
habeas corpus on grounds they were
being tried illegally 1t was not GER
tain whether the same penalty will
be sought for the eighth-George
John Dasch, who repeatedly turned
government witness.
Legal experts believed the su-
preme courts decision in rejecting
the seven saboteurs' appeal would
make it possible for anyone accused
OF impeding the war effort to be
denied access to civil courts and
brought before military tribunal.

Fighting on the south Russian
front continued to gain intensity
and the grave PERIL to the Soviet
supply lines to Iran was undimin-
ished Moscow dispatches. however,
said in the Don river bend the Red
army had stiffencd and that the
press had reminded soldiers that
they must fight to the death unless
ordered to retire.
Moscow acknowledged new Ger
man advances, despite fierce Cossack
counter attacks, on the railroad
line south of Rostov, where the Nazis
claimed to have captured Salsk and
pushed within so miles of Tikhoresk
junction. But in the Tsimlyanskaya
sector, the Russians battered a Nazi
tank and infantry force caught in
forest fire set by Red artillery,
and farther northward the enemy
was thrown back several miles on
the Kletskaya sector by Soviet
air tank attack about 70 miles north
west of Stalingrad.
DISCUSS WORLD WAR
The seriousness of the German
drive was reflected in Moscow news
paper articles discussing the signif-
icance of the second front" in
World war I, when the Germans
were forced to fight both in France
and Russia. The two front war, ac-
cording to these articles, defeated
the Kaiser and it will defeat Hitler
if the Allies inpade western Europe
in time.
The articles were considered par
ticularly significant at this time
because Soviet papers have not
made pressing demands recently for
an immediate second front, although
agitation for such action had been
strongly continued through other
channels.
So far, the stepped-up RAF aer-
been the only concrete result, but
it has been an important develop
ment. Hundreds of British bombers
made heavy attack on the German
industrial area OF Dusseldorf. dump
ing 100000 pounds of block buster
bombs $4,000 pounds EACH in addi-
ton to hundreds of thousands of in
cendiaries and other explosives.
The air ministry said the attack
probably was the most concentrated
of the war, doing great damage and
starting huge fires in vital enemy
area. Land fighting, however, was
still confined to the Russian front.
The Russians were reported to
have destroyed the Nazi 22nd tank
division, which probably had 500
tanks, and to have taken a tremend-
GUS toll of the enemy in stemming
the Axis advance into the Don
river bend, which extends to with
in 40 miles of Stalingrad. but on
the lower Don front the Germans
still were pushing southwark.
GERMANS CLAIMS
Today's Berlin communique said
that the important railroad juno
