Warren Upheld by

Certification Row
Secretary of State in
Error in Declaring He
Followed Others Advice

SACRAMENTO, Aug. 18-
(UP) - Attorney Genearl
Earl Warren's protests that
he did not authorize the cer-
tification of the Communist
party to the California primary
ballot we're substantiated today by
previously undisclosed correspond
ence released by the secretary of
states office.
Secretary of State Paul Peek said
yesterday he was certifying the
party upon the advice of the at
torney general and because all court
litigation had ended.
Warren, in Los Angeles. denied
Peek's statement and said his in
structions were just the opposite.
He characterized Peek's handling of
the case as tricky political maneu-
vering."
Deputy Secretary of State Edward
Dickson, in PeekS absence, today
released to the press the full text
of Warren's kilograms. from which
only a small portion was quoted
yesterday with the certification.
One telegram read: Il do not
consider you are legally bound to
certify the Communist party to the
primary ballot at this time :"
Another telegram from Warren
read: II have already advised that
I do not consider you are legally
bound to certify the Communist
party on the primary ballot at this
time Erecting that the Com
munist party was at fault in dis
missing the action under the
circumstances. I am satisfied there
is no obligation or legal duty
Dickson contended, however. that
Warren in neither telegram had
given a valid reason for not certi-
flying the party, since all court ac-
ton was ended and the state su-
preme court had ruled specifically
that the attorney general and secre-
tary of state had no independent

Sunday was an awful day in the

awful day when taken by itself,
without all the other things that
happened to him.
Wind blew limb off tree and

him so he could sweep the leaves
off the roof. And a good thing.

He tackled the limb but soon
found out that something else had
priority. A tribe of those nasty
tempered yellow jackets inhabited
the limb, and did they resent Os-
borne's interference with their
housekeeping arrangements!
With buzzing roar of rage the
yellowjackets made for Osborne. He
couldn't run because he was on
the roof and he knew mighty well
he couldn't get down the ladder in
time to elude his enemies.
He snatched UP the broom and
like a knight of old turned to face
his enemies. He waved the broom
in front of him, desperately batting
and swatting Babe Ruth with the
score tied and bases full never
swatted so frantically.
Oh. we'll. it was tough on the
