Judge Flags Man
As Brute, Imposes
Prison Sentence

only a brute would treat girl
the way you treated the girl in this
case and I hereby sentence you to
San quentin penitentiary.
These stern words came from
Judge r. y. McphCrrin in Imperial
county superior court Friday when
he sentenced Paul Rollins, l9-year-
old truck driver, for the rape of a
16-year- old Ell Centre girl.
Rollins previously had pleaded
guilty to the charge of rape and
had asked that probation be granted
him.
On the witness stand in superior
court Friday Rollins attempted to
explain away various instances of
bullying and cruelty attributed to
him. Judge McPherrin listened to
the explanations but declared the
evidence given him indicated that
Rollins should go to the penitentiary.
The maximum term for rape is
so years. The exact length of Rol-
Inns term will be set by the state
board of prison terms and paroles.

Critics Jump on
Censorship Of FIR
inspection jaunt
Politics Cry Raised
AS Foes Point Out
Nearness of Election

WASHINGTON, Oct. 2.
(UP) = Congressional a n d
newspaper critics disagreed
today over the censorship
imposed in connection with
the Presidents war inspection tour
and certain ocI.a.ors and represen-
tatives charged that the trip was
made for purely political purposes.
Rep. Charles A. Halleck, r., Ind,
fired the first shot on Capitol Hill
with the assertion that the journey
had political implications"
1T seems a little strange he said
on the house floor, that these al
legged inspection trips of the P-co.-
dent always seem to occur just be-
fore the elections come along
Sen. John Thomas, R., Ida, said
the Presidents tour "smacks OF
playing politics in the midst of war"
and Rep. John -doer, R., N. Y,
declared "it was purely campaign
trip, nothing else"
For those who charged politics,
UIl6 aAAo"SA' AAN
said he had seen no candidates for
national office, no state party chair
men, and no state Democratic COM
mitteemen. He did see IL governors
seven Democratic and four Repub-
lican-but not all of them, he said
are up for reelection.
NEWS MEN PROTEST
Meanwhile, Washington corre-
3pondents, representing newspapers
or news bureaus, protested formally
to the President against his refusal
to take them on the journey.
Newsmen accompanying the Pres
ident were limited to one representa-
tive each of the United Press, Asso-
ciated Press and International News
Service. They were not permitted to
dispatch any stories about the trip,
however, until after Mr.. Roosevelt
had returned to Washington and
held a general press conference at
which he described the tour to the
newspaper men who had been left
behind.
A letter addressed personally TO
the chief executive was submitted

In the western desert an Allied

Lieut.. Gen B. l.. Montgomery
British commander said the Oper-
alton cleared the way for the
next round in the desert war.
There have been suggestions that
a general attack designed to drive
the Axis out Of Africa completely
may be in preparation, provided
sufficient manpoWer and materials

ParityProvisions
Unfair, Hot Cargo
Greatest Danger
Farm Bureau President
Tells Local Audience
Of Farmers Troubles

Baxter Loveland, Imperial
county farm bureau presi-
dent, told Ell Centre kotar-
ians and their friends Thurs
day noon that parity ceilings
on farm products are unfair, and
declared unionism's effort to pro-
tect hot cargo practices through
balloting in November is today's
greatest peril to the farmer.
Loveland devoted most OF his talk
to the parity provisions in the anti
initiation bill which had been passed
by both houses of congress Friday,
and was expected to go to the
President Friday night or Saturday.
His discussion of unionism'S sec
ondary boycott and hot cargo prac-
tices, however, was marked by the
warning that these offShootS OF
union pressure tactics are the farm
ers worst enemy. OutlaWed by the
legislature, the practices were placed
before the voters by a union-inspir-
ed initiative on the November bal
lot. A yes" vote would defeat the
union effort to uphold hot cargo
and Secondar" boycotts.
Loveland called farm parity pro-
visions of the national antiinfla-
ton bill a hindrance to the war eff
fort of the farmers. He warned his
listeners to beware of misleading
statistics, pointing out that while
farm production is up, farm costs
are almost double what they were,
reflecting a different picture of true
income than has been given by stat
iStics.
He pointed out that labor's share
of the national income is IS billions
of dollars while the share of agri-
culture is only 10 billions. The high
cost of labor, Loveland sad, has
cut the farmers returns until tsey
are now less than in previous high
years.
At the meeting Thursday noon in
Hotel Barbara Worth Loveland was
presented by Otto Bradshaw, chair
man of the day.

WLB Refuses Raise
To Free Union

WASHINGTON, Oct. PUP -
The war labor beard, refusing tc
allow the General Gable Corp. tC
grant pay raises to the workers in
its Rome, N. Y, plant, had set a
possible precedent today for judg-
!. ing voluntary pay raises.
The board turned down 7-cent-
an-hour pay raise agreed on be-
tween the company and the Gable
Guild, an independent union, be-
cause it found the increase con-
} flicted with the Little Steel" form
ula for stabilizing wages with the
cost of living.
Both company and union admit
ted that increases already granted
since Jan. /, 1941, had exceeded
Is per cent-the maximum set by
the Little Steel" formula but
said the new increase was neces-
sary to erase inequalities with Other

Green Says Unions
Above Criticism

TORONTO, Oct. PUP - The
record shows that labor has given
exalted service in the American
war effort and criticism of labor
is unjustified," William Green,
president of the American Fedora
ticn of Labor, said today.
Green arrived in Toronto today
for the annual A. F. l.. convention
which opens Monday.
There is no room for a single
word of justified criticism against
labor's war effort" Green told the
A. F. L. building trades section.
He said that many lesser gov
crnment officials had criticized the
actions of organized labor, but add
ed that those in the highest places
in Washington are convinced that
labor has been doing "a swell job"
