of not more than 160 acres.

Shoe Repairman
PenaIized in
zoot.Suit Case

BRAWLEY, NOV. 1.-THE United
States treasury is S25 richer.
Eight Calexico zoot-Suiters are
minus six-pound shoes with two
inch-thick soles and steel taps.
A shoe repairman on the east side
in Brawley has been educated re-
garding price ceilings in connection
with the resoling of shoes of the
suffers" to such abnormal thick
neSSeS.
The Brawley OPA price panel
found that the repairman, whose
name was withheld, had violated
price ceilings by charging in excess
of rates posted with the local board.
And the sticker under which the
panel made the charge stick was
that no repairman has ever posted
prices on doing this type of work.
So that makes everyone who builds
such soles guilty, the board holds.
The price panel did not fine the
repairman but asked that he make
a contribution in form of a money
order or check to the U. S. treasury
department in the sum of s25. A
second offense will bring more Sc
we're penalties, the board advised.
The OPA found that since leather
and the material used in tailoring
on the "Zoot-suit" lads shoes and
clothing were not under direct ra-
tioning, that the abnormal use of
materials involved could not be
violation, so the information was
turned over to the War Production
Beard for action.
The Brawley boards action was
believed to be the first in the south
land in an attempt to dress" the
"zoot-siters" as normal boys. The
action was precipitated by a letter
from Judge Vaughn Thompson of
El Centre urging that action be
taken in scme way to stop this sort
of thing in Imperial Valley.
