An amalgamated local of 80

A STAR agent in each shop is
responsible for the campaign in
his shop. The system puts a lot
of reliance on the agent, but IL

The Star agents hold meetings
inside the shops, where they

Industry Members
Protest WSB Refusal
To Permit PAY Cut
BY the Associoted Press

Refusal of the Wage Stabiliza-
ton Board to approve a pay cut
for the eight employees of a Louis
vile tkyD livestock commission firm
Grew an industry dissent today as
harmful to small business.
Public and labor members of the
national board joined in refusing
to let BrooksMetcalf e. Co. reduce
lts pay rates now ranging from 1925
10 Sl25 month by amounts vary
Ing from $40 to S25.
Inc majority affirmed a regional
WSB ruling that inability to paw
Is not an excuse under the Stabili-
zatlon Act to cut wages. Five of
the eight employees had agreed to
accept the lower pay rate and, for
the other three, the company said
they could work overtime to achieve
l945 earning levels.
In their dissenting opinion. in
duStry members Earl N. Cannon and
A. Colman Barrett denied that the
Stabilization Act prohibited the
proposed reductions and added:
In addition to the legal aspects
we are also confronted with the
practical effect which this action
OF the board may have on small
business in general and on small
business during the reconversion
period.
The board, in effect, says to this
employer that it may not reduce
the wages of these employees even
though, by not doing so, it will have
to go out of business. in which event
all the employees will lose their jobs,
or if it does not go out of business,
discharge some employees.
Either of the alternative results
is inconsistent with the Govern
ment's attitude toward small busi-
ness
Under the Sterilization Act, the
board is required to rule on both
higher and lower pay, although
most cases have involved petitions
to raise wages.

| Rollins Denies Guilt
lin Final Statement
At Navy Court-Martia|
BY the A,soeioted Press

ANNAPOLIS, Md, June 27.-Chief
Steward Walter w. Rollins, Virgin
Islands colored man being tried
on two sex charges and four other
counts, told a Navy general court
martial today that Il don't believe
I am guilty.
Rollins, 46-year-old veteran of 27
years of naval service, made his
statement after Lieut.. Comdr. Will
liam l.. P. Burke, co-judge advo-
cate, had completed the prosecu-
tons final argument on the 10Th
day of the trial.
The seven-officer court sitting at
the Naval Academy then adjourned
to consider the evidence and the
record. 1t will be reopened later
to announce any findings of in
nocence. Findings of guilt must be
reviewed before being announced
Rollins, who has pleaded innocent
to charges of adultery with white
woman, a morals offenSe, theft,
gambling, embezzlement and mis-
conduct, was told by the court that
he was privileged to make state
ment, but that it wouldn't have the
weight of evidence. He did not take
the witness stand during the trial.
Does Not Believe Guilt.
"All I would like to say he told
the court, is that I conscientiously
state that I don't believe l am
guilty of the charges. That is ALL"
His statement was entered in the
record.
The charges against Rollins grew
out of an investigation of an all
night party attended by white guests
in his basement quarters at the
North Severn Offlcers' Club, where
he formerly was on duty.
Comdr. Burke, replying to a de-
fense contention that each part of
each specification had to be proved
by testimony, argued that it was not
necessary to prove leach particular
fact" beyond reasonable doubt.
1T is sufficient to warrant con-
viction it, on the whole evidence,
the court is satisfied beyond such
doubt that the accused is guilty"
he said.
The co-iudge advocate argued
that the defense had failed to rebut
the evidence offered by the prose-
cution. The defense, he said, pro-
duced only three character wit
nesses. who did not offer evidence
relating to the charges.
Testimony Attacked.
Comdr. Burke attacked the testi-
mony of John H. Poole, senior civil
engineer at the Naval Academy, who
had measured a small aperture in
the partition between Rollins room
and the duty compartment at the
officers Club.
Mr.. Poole had produced dia-
gram which he said showed it would
not have been possible for a certain
witness to see what he said he saw
in Rollins room.
The witness, Curtis Carter, colored
stewards mate, had testified he
looked through the peephole and
saw Mrs. Margaret A. Sima. wife
of a Naval Academy bandsman, in
Rollins room. clad only in a slip
Comdr. Burke argued that five
witnesses had testified as to what
could be seen through the hole and
said that Mr. Poole's testimony as
to what could be seen was based
on calculations made after the aper-
ture had been covered for 10 months
