Counsel Says Henry
Doesn't Remember
Staying His Wife

Jef1ries Henry, SO, former White
House and Metropolitan policeman,
has no recollection of what hap
pened the night he is charged with
Staying his wife Lola Jane in a
Thirteenth street restaurant, a Dis
trict Court jury was told today.
The statement was made by j.
Bernard Flaherty, attorney for the
accused, after Justice Matthew F.
Mcclure denied a defense motion
for 4 directed verdict for the de-
fendant on the ground that the
Government had failed to establish
commission OF crime rs charged
In the indictment.
Mr.. Flaherty described Henry as
an alcoholic psychotic" and filled
with 'halmcinations, suspicious and
fears"
"As a result" the attorney told
the jury. "he knows nothing about
the offense or how 1t occurred"
Not Drunk at Time.
Mr.. Flaherty said Henry was In
capable at the time OF the tragedy
to distinguish between right and
wrong. He contended that the de-
fendant's condition was produced
by his abnormal drinking habit"
He was not drunk at the time
the alleged of1ense was committed, u
Mr.. Flaherty said, but we intend
to show that he was temporarily in
sane" The lawyer said this condi-
ton was caused by a continuation
OF the drinking habit over q period
of years.
Mr.. Flaherty said Henry's mental
illness was revealed in such acts as
writing sprees," his statements that
he was going into the armed forces
and his bigamous marriage to an
Arlington girl only few weeks be-
fore the defendants wife was shot
to death in a restaurant in the ll0O
block OF Thirteenth street NV.
Wanted Pistol Practice.
The gun which the Government
charges Henry used to shoot his
wife and to inflict wound in his
own chest was purchased. according
to the defense, so that Henry could
practice shooting before joining the
armed forces in North Africa.
First witness for the defense was
Mrs. Lulu Henry Cox, a Govern
ment clerk and sister of the defend
ant, who traced her brothers career
since he left the Marine Corps ir
1922 and came to live in Washing
ton. She said he was on the Met
ropolitan and White House Police
Forces for about eight years, ane
that during this time he drank &
little" but always had his job Il
CHECK him up" She testified h,
drank to excess when he had thu
money" in 1912, but that he neve,
was intoxicated for more than q
day at a time.
In the early part of l943, she said
he had been drinking heavily.
Government Rests Case.
The Government rested its case
this morning after introducing sew
eral more letters alleged to have
been written by Henry to his wife
within the few weeks preceding the
Staying.
Last prosecution witnesses were
Capt. John Fowler. firearms expert
for the Metropolitan Police, who
identified the gun used in the kill
ing as the one purchased by Henry
and Ira M. Gullickson, police hand
writing expert, who said letters in
troduced by the Government and
addressed to Mrs. Henry bore the
same handwriting as that on an
application for a job filled out by
Henry at the Alexandria once of
the American Red Cross.

Clarifying
Yourself
BY ALICIA H8ET
NEA staff Writer

When the weather is muggy and
YOU feel dragged out. give yourself
a -to-toe beauty pickup and
you'll have pep enough to go to
your civilian defense meeting or
visiting friends after dinner.
Everyone needs to pamper her
self now and then" says Irene
Manning, who stars in the film
version of "The Desert Song and
the half-hour of 'pampering' 1 al
low myself each afternoon after
work perks me up for an evening
of relaxation-something everyone
must have if they want to AVOID
wartime iitters.'
Irene starts her beauty pickup
with a scented, tepld bath, and
I,lx,Iriates in it five minutes longer
than usual, so that she is com
pletely relaxed. Meanwhile. the
romplexion cream she has smoothed
on her face has q chance to pene-
trste into the pores and eradicate
anv little tired" lines. In hot,
humid weather the actress says She
dsubs herself dry, because brlsk
rubbing stirs up the circulation Toe
mich Then she finishes with a
coating of bath powder to matcfi
the body cologne she'll use later.

WELL HAVE A JUNIOR
COLLEGE HERE AGAIN

Guy A. Weakley superintendent of El
Centro's schools, has given assurances
that the highest institution of learning in
the southern section of Imperial Valley,
Ell Centre Junior college, will be "open
for business" when the fall term rolls
around
With a staff of high-calibre instruct
ors and with curriculum of government
approved courses, the junior college will
be ready to prepare our youths for the
immediate job of furthering the war eff
fort and more encompassing duties of
being good citizens.
The entire valley should be proud of
the record established by former students
of the junior college Since the war be-
gan hundreds of them have entered the
service, many of them receiving COM
missions or responsible positions due to
the training they were able to get right
here at home.
A number of the young men who will
frequent the junior college campus dur
ing the coming school year will be al
ready in the service The government
has recognized the high position among
the secondary schools enjoyed by the
local school and has designated it as
training school for many army and navy
reservists. These are men who have been
ordered to remain in school so that they
will be better fit for the kind of train
ing they will be given later when called
into active service.
Weakley said that indications are that
the type of students who will enroll next
fall is of the same high quality which
has earned the school its valuable repu-
tation.

APPLE STATISTICS

Watsonville Register Pal arohian --- - -.
As the Pajaro Valley IS the largest
apple producing area in California, the
annual deciduous fruit report of the ag-
ricultural experiment station, college of
agriculture, University of California.
makes interesting reading for Watson
vile area growers.
Last year, although bearing acreage
was the smallest since the first compia-
tions were made in 1919, returns to the
apple men of California were the largest
since 1929. Total returns in 1912 am
ounted to $6,89O,OOO, the report says,
which was over 100000 more than the
previous year. High in 1929 was s9,274,-
600
Bearing acreage last year was $4,000,
ia less than the previous year. There
has been a steady decline since 1887 when
38,100 bearing acres were reported. The
highest figure was that of 1926 when
there were 56,343 bearing acres of apples
in the state.
Production last year was 65OO,OOO
bushels third lowest since 1919, and l.
100000 below 1941. It was only 81 per
cent of full crop but at S1.O6 bushel,
the highest figure since 1919, the state
growers were able to get the greatest re-
turns in 13 years.
But--aS in the case of the country's
increased agricultural returns in general
last year-these greater returns did not
mean lot more profit. Costs of labor,
handling, equipment, machinery, etc,
have jumped also: /: in some instances more
than offsetting the increased returns.
The total tonnage of $4,000 last year
accounted for $4,000 tons of dried apples,
the rest being sold for fresh use or other
than commercial and dried.
Apple men are hopeful that they will
have another good apple season this fall
but there are numerous headaches which
are likely to be encountered. Probably
foremost is the labor question. With the
OPA intending to set ceiling prices for
fresh apples, the monetary returns can
hardly be figured at this time.
But Pajaro valley apple growers have
gone through tough seasons before and
have survived and this area still retains
its reputation as the apple Bowl of the
Golden State

HE DOESN'T MISS MUCH,
THAT MAN PHILLIPS

Congressman John Phillips doesn't
miss much when he goes to a place to
see something or to talk to someone or to
do something.
Since he was sent to Washington almost
a year ago by voters of the 22nd con-
gressional district of California, Repres-
entative Phillips has been untiring in his
efforts to truly represent the people who
sent him to the notions capital to take
care of their affairs for them
He has shown interest In all vital
matters which affect the pople of this
country; he has listened to the voice
of the people back home, and he has kept
his mind open on the issues at stake
until he had heard enough to give him
good solid reasons for his decisions.
But probably more important than any
of these. he has taken the initiative on
many matters when he saw a chance to
work some betterment
Yet all through the heated sessions in
the house and the committee hearings
and meetings he has attended Che is on
a number of important committees) Rep.
Phillips has found time to send back
lucid reports on the Washington scene
to his own district.
Phillips demonstrated his way of do
ing things when he paid a visit to I'm
perial Valley recently.
He gave reports on the things in which
most of US are interested he sounded out
the way they felt on certain issues; he
gave advice; he kept his eyes open.
This junior congressman is laying his
groundwork well for the time when he
will gain in political importance in the
national legislature and will be able to
serve his voters Uneven more ways.

SAUCE FOR THE GANDER
Sacramento Bee

The business man or industrialist who
finds it next to impossible to obtain COM
petent help will derive little satisfaction
from the report that the number of civ
ilian employees of the federal govern
ment has grown to 3,029.000.
Most of the recent increases in per-
sonnel have been in the War, Navy and
Agricultural departments and some bur
eaus actually have shown a decrease.
But, according to Senator Tydings, many
offices still are overstaffed in the light
of manpower conditions of the country
as whole.
Employment in government offices eX-
cept those most essential to the war.
should be subject to the same controls
as apply to private concerns. Overstaff
ing not only is a sin against product ex-
penditures but also a hindrance in the
war effort by tying up workers who could
be employed in more productive persuits.
There is no reason why government Of
ficers should be in favored position.
Moreover, the continued wartime ex-
istance of government departments
should be determined solely by their es-
sentialness, not on the basis of the politi-
cal prestige of the department head.

Il found that whole grain or

Army chefs through their own in

AT the Bakers and Cooks School

covered new ways to use leftover
oatmeal suited to the home war
