White New York Soldier Arrested For
Rape OF Three Women In Australia

SYDNEY. Australia - (ANP) -
Word from allied headquarters here
that Pvt. r. j. Leonski. white. for
mer New York newsboy. had heen
arrested last week on charges
growing out OF the rape and murder
Of three Australian women. can
cause lot Of hearts in tho United
States TO feel lighter. The epidcm-
ic OF killings and rapngs. pariic-
ularly In three cases which har-
pened close together. had shock ID
all Australia. The women were:
Miss Gladys Hosking. 40. a chemis.
try teacher; Mrs. Ivy NirLeod, so.
and Mrs. Pauline Thompson. 81.
All lived In Melbourne.
Fortunately the Negro troops who
are in the country were no where
near the scene Of the killings The
reprehensible methods OF people
and press In the United States
which Mays up sex cases where
Negroes are involved although II is
improbable that Negroes commit
more than a very small percentage
OF such offenses. led 10 blind fear
that some hapless colorcd soldier
might he involved.
Australians themselves were as
founded. There are no crimes ~
that sort here or AZ least rarely
and the killings not only caused 4
sensation but altered the attitude
Of the Australians toward American
soldiers to some extent. The whis-
pered suggestion that Il might have
been some OF the Negro troops
might have fallen on willing ears
since Australia had never admitted
Negroes until this contingent q
black troops arrived. had II not
been known that no Negroes could
have been In the vicinity.
Leonski will be tried by court
martial.

Mr. Henry Ford,

Dear Sir:
We. the pastors Of Inkster,
wish 10 express 10 Jon our ap.
probation for what you have
done for the Village OF Inkster
during the last ten years. We
wish also to express our regrets
for what has recently happened
and which seems 10 have sever
ed our relationship, which we
hope Is only temporary.
No doubt, there are a few
persons In Inkster who are un-
able to appreciate the many
good things which you have
done for our community.
We pastors OF Inkster recent
~ called n meeting OF the COM
munity together nj which
about seven hundred persons
were present. They expressed
their hearty appreciation Of
what you have done for Us. also
their earnest desire that the
commlssary he returned 10 our
community. and that you do
whatever else you might have
In mind for our good.
The people expressed them
selves by n standing vote. and
Il was evident that nlnety-fi,e
per cent or more were heartily
In favor Of your return.
We therefore dlsapprove Of
that extremely small minority.
whether inside OF Inkster or
outside. who have nnwisely
objected TO your friendly hand
toward ms: and we are asking
that you kindly ignore that ex-
trcmely small minority who
might criticize your friendly at
tltude toward n community
which needs n real friend, such
n you have been to us.
Respectfully submitted

SAN FRANCISCO. Suly 11-OUP)
The California supreme court to-
day upheld an appeal by the Com
munist party of California for the
right to appear on the California
ballot.
The supreme court ruled that all
sections of the state election code
barring political parties from the
ballot are unconstitutional-except
a provision which outlaws subver-
sive organizations. But the court
additionally held that political
party can be adjudged subverSive
only by court decision, and not by
state officials.
Effect of today's ruling was to
restore the Communist party to the
state primary ballot.
The Communist party had charg-
ed in complaint that the state of
California overode its constitutional
rights in excluding Communist
candidates from the election ballot
The supreme court ruled that the
Los Angeles superior court erred
in sustaining a state demurrer to
the Communist party complaint.
MUST SHOW CAUSE
Reversing the lower courts de-
cision, the supreme court ruled that
the trial court must issue an order
for Secretary of State Paul Peek
and other defendant state officials
to show cause why the Communist
party should not be permitted to

Rubber, Camp aisn Ends In
Time to Begin Iron Drive

Imperial Valley barely emerged
from the final throes of the rubber
collection campaign Saturday when
S a VI ge officials Immediately
launched a nation wide drive to
gather scrap iron and steel to keep
furnaces in full production for war
time needs.
Iron and steel scrap collections
were scheduled to begin Monday.
The rubber collection campaign
closed at midnight Friday.
Totals for the rubber collection
in Imperial Valley were not avail
able Saturday but were expected to
be made public Monday. 1t was
believed the county made its quota
or exceeded it. The quota for the
county was set at 100000 pounds.
Last week-end's total for the ma
ton wide rubber drive was 334 .293
tons, indicating the final account

collection were virtually complete.
War production board officials esti-
mated that 100000 tons of steel
would be needed for war and es-
sential civilian uses this year, and
that one-fourth of this would have
to be in the form of scrap picked
up from farm lots, cellars and in
dustrial bone yards of the country
During the next six months WPB
hopes to bring in l7.500.000 tons.
This would provide full-time pro-
duction and leave stockpile which
would run for 90 days.
/ Officials said there is enough
iron and steel on American farms
alone to make twice as many bat
tleships as exist in all the navies
of the world. Or it would make
enough 2,OOO-pound bombs to drop
three each minute on the Axis
countries for more than three
years.

the election code.
The Communist party's complaint
was directed against the so-called
Tenney and Dilworth laws. The
Tenney law. passed by special ses-
sion of the legislature in Septem-
ber, 1910. specifically named the
Communist party as an organiza-
ton with subversive doctrines. and
prohibited it from appearing on the
ballot at primary elections.
The Dilworth law provided that
a political party shall not be quail
fled to participate in any primary
election unless 1t had $500 reg
istered voters Is days prior to the
last preceding primary election.
The Communist party contended
both laws were aimed primarily at
excluding Communists from the
ballot.

the southwest, but it was not yet
clear whether Gen. Sir Claude
Auchinleck had been able to
launch full scale offensive to
drive the Germans out of Egypt.
Fighting on a far greater scale,
in the long run, was in progress
and probably of greater Importance
on the Russian front, where the

stubborn Red army resistance, with
the exception Of an attack on the
Kalinin front. northwest of Moscow,
and possibly at Voronezh. The Ger
mans again claimed Voronezh, but
Russian reports said that fighting
was still outside the city and that
the bulk of the German army had
been held west of the Don river
