SOLDIER AID


The classes were planned, Mr.
Poole said. because of a certain
fact That is that there are many of
our boys who are doing important
technical jobs in the armed forces.
and are doing them well, but who
lack certain additional training re-
quisite TO their securing recognition
as rated mechanics in civilian life.
Poole said that the classes are sup
plying and training. securing rat
ings for the boys who complete the
courses. with the result that their
wages are trebled. and inducing
them to settle in San Bernardino.
where Jobs are being found for
them. In this way the community
is adding to its population of young
healthy. well trained well paid
men Of undoubted quality. 1t is in

is guaranteeing the level below
which the caliber of San BeTnardino
cannot sink, and that level is
claimed to be extraordinarily high.
L. w. Myers. manager Redlands
chamber of commerce. chimed in on
this theme
There were a good many of our
people some of the best people
we have - Myers said. who did
not look with favcr on bringing any
industry to Redlands. Some of these
people have lived here from 80 to
60 years. They live in some of the
most beautiful homes in Redlands.
They have some of the finest orange
grcveS outside the city.
FULLY SATISFIED
For at least 20 years these peo-
pie have not cared to see any change
in Redlands. About 90 years ago the
city had reached a stage of develop
ment which convinced these people
that they had achieved a new para
disc. The city was beautiful. The
people were prosperous. The neigh
bors were gracious. Why change"
Why grow?
THE answer is that certain
things are gcing on about us in the
world and it is not question of
what we want. but what We must.
We cannot graduate our children
from high school and then t6ll them
to go to Los Angeles TO find jobs,
without eventually destroying our
city.
"We must keep these children at
home. have them marry here. have
them found families here. if Red
lands is to live and to prosper.
IF we are 10 Go that. then We
must have jobs waiting for them
when they leave school. If We are to
have jobs for them, then We must
have industries here.
FREE TO CHOOSE
1T is extremely fortunate. there
fore, that, at the present time, the
industrial aituation is such that we
are free TO choose the kind Of in
dustlies we want and to reject the
kind of industries we don't want

COURT SUSTAINS
 TENANTS RIGHTS
Waterbury Man Awarded Damages in Connection
 With Rental Violations

Hartford, Conn.,, July 5. (UP)- An unanimous decision of the state supreme court today upheld the right of . tenant to recover dam ages from his landlord for over- charges made in violation of the federal emergency price control act.
 The decision, written by Chief Justice William M. Maltbie, found no error in a common pleas court judgment which awarded Theodore Lapinski, Waterbury, damages of $350 plus $75 for counsel fees, against his landlord, Joseph Copacino on grounds he had been charged 8 month above the rent ceiling for period of seven months. Each month of overcharge was constituted a separate violation and Lapinski was awarded triple damages, or $50, for each of the violations.
 Copacino appealed the lower court judgment on ground the state court had no jurisdiction in violations of federal law.
 Chief Justice Maltbie wrote that the price control act, although of federal origni, lis just as much a law of this state as statute en- acted by our own legislature" and that Congress, "by granting juris. diction to the state courts, has made them instruments for Interpreting the public policy of the nation in the matter at hand"

LAWYER PLEADS
 TO FREE NOXON
Ely Wants Accused Man Acquitted on Grounds of
 Reasonable Doubt
BY JOSEPH NOLAN United Press Stan COrresDOndent)

 , Pittsfield, Mass, July 5-CUP)- Asserting that "The Black Mantle of Murder does not fit the circum- stances of this case" defenes Atty. Joseph B. Ely begged today that John F. Noxon Jr. be acquitted on the grounds of reasonable doubt.
 Accused of electrocuting his men, tally-defective infant son, the A. year-old socialite faces the electric chair if convicted as charged.
 T came into this case believing in the innocence Of John Noxon, and I leave it to your judgment with the same abiding conviction" Ely told Superior Judge Abraham E. Piananski and the jury in his fi- nal arguments. NO matter how you look at 1t, murder does not fit into this case. On the evidence that has been presented the defendant feels with abiding confidence that he de- serves an acquittal."
 Ely frightened threats and brought tears in the eyes of the 300 spec- tators as he revised the Noxon family's nlisfortunes and declared that Noxon'S own physical handicap was due to his World War exper- fences.
 T sometimes wonder" Ely said, How long we shall remember the young heroes now fighting for us on foreign battlefields. How long long shall we remember them if in the days to come one of them Is charged with the murder of his own beloved son?"
 Ely attacked what he called the basis of tn estates case" that the Noxon baby lacked sufficient mus cular coordination to become en- tangled in trouble cord accidental ly as his father has testified.
 That is not the fact" Ely shout ed. Baby Lawrence Noxon was a rugged baby. He could make all the normal movements of a child his age. He could move his arms, and he did move his arms.
 This is a case of circumstantial evidence, and circumstantial evil dence is a treacherous ground on which to urk. Each fact upon which the Commonwealth relies for its proof must be demonstrated beyond reasonable doubt. We do not be- ieve that they have proved their case beyond such 8 reasonable doubt"
 Referring to the defendants wife, who has attended most of the trial sessions, Ely said:
 Mrs. Noxon is not here today. She sits alone, awaiting the out come of this trial. That outcome, gentlemen of the jury, depends up- on each and every one of you"
 When the defense has reviewed Its case, District Attorney Charles R. Alberti will ask a flrst-degree mur- der conviction and the death pen- atty for his former Harvard class
