ASSOCIATED FARMERS DEMANDS RETRACTION OF WEST CHARGES Charging that an article attacking the Associated Farmers of California in the Congressional Times-Democrat, campaign paper published by the N.E. West Campaign committee in the 19th congressional district race was false and libelous, a formal demand for retraction was served on West this week, by the state farm organization. In addition, copies of the demand were served on David H. Deihl, editor of the paper published at San Bernardino and distributed throughout Orange, Riverside and San Bernardino, and on the Draft West for Congress committee of the 19th congressional district at 453 E. street in San Bernardino. The committee is listed as publishers of the paper. Officials of the Associated Farmers said that the demand for retraction was served in accordance with civil code provisions governing libel. R. F. Schmeiser, northern vice-president, who signed the demands, said that 20 specific items were outlined which were false in fact. "Beyond that," he asserted, "the entire story is based on implications deliberately intended to defame this organization for the political purposes of West." Other officers of the organization said that "California farmers are getting tired of being kicked around as a political football." "Just because a candidate wants to run a smear campaign, he has no license to publish a libelous attack on a farm organization, hoping to drag down one of his opponents by implication," Ray Badger, southern vice-president commented. The West campaign paper in its issue of July 18 had charged that the state farm organization in reality was a front for industrialists and sponsoring "armed warfare" on labor and the dust bowl migrants and was working to defeat West. The entire article is based on lies in its references to the Associated Farmers, Schmeiser said, and is damaging not only to this farm group, but to the causes for which it is working in agriculture. "The farmers are not going to take this lying down," he concluded. Judge Westover Seeking Election Judge Harry C. Westover, who is seeking re-election as judge of the superior court has been prominently and well known in public circles in Orange county for many years. He has been intimately connected with social and welfare work, the Boy Scouts and church groups. He is a member of the Santa Ana Kiwanis club, the Santa Ana Elks and the Santa Ana Presbyterian church and other civic organizations. Over a year ago Judge Westover was appointed judge of the superior court to succeed the Hon. Judge Homer Ames who had passed away. He has the support of many of the lawyers of Orange county. The legal profession does not see at this time any reason for making a change in the personal of the superior court. For nearly a quarter of a century Judge Westover has been engaged in the practice of law. He represented this county for two sessions of the legislature as its state senator and has a background which conducive to a successful term upon the bench. Judge Westover has been a member of the American Legion since its inception and is being supported by ex-service men of this county. He is married, has two children, and is living at Corona del Mar. A craze for insurance became so prevalent in the England of 1700 that some companies successfully sold policies that protected the insured against immorality and lies. The little Shasta county newspaper survived the normal ups and downs of publishing, but the serious illness of the publisher, J. D. McNamar, forced the suspension in publication. The ancient relic of the printing industry on which each issue of the paper was printed is believed to be at least 100 years old, although its exact age is not known. Athletics Crush Wilmington Club Anaheim's Athletics enjoyed a field day Sunday at the expense of the Wilmington Merchants, rolling up a 17 to 5 victory, and are now awaiting the invasion of the fast Walker Roofing company club next Sunday. Bud McConnell, husky catcher, led the 17-hit assault against two Wilmington moundmen, garnering a pair of doubles and a like number of one-base blows. Close on his heels were Joe Heinz and Ed Krage, with three safeties, and M. LanFranco, who slapped out a pair of triples. Jim Gilmore and Carl Glimpse divided mound duties for Manager-Joe Huarte's club, and combined to limit the visitors to five hits.

He formerly was a teacher at Anaheim union high school. More than 150 mills in Cuba were grinding sugar at one time recently.

Of the Associated Press said that the demand was served in accordance with civil code providing libel.

The drivers were William P. Hoppin of Arcadia and Between the Headlines (Continued from Page 1) equalities are stressed by the Nazis, and thus a German chauffeur is paid at a rate equal to the salary of a senior official of the Czech civil service. Further more, even the most subordinate German employees are quartered either in small hotels or in the better houses and apartments in the fashionable residential districts, the accommodation being secured beforehand at absurdly low rentals which the Czech landlords are compelled to accept. In Prague, for example, the Czechs have been evicted from all the more attractive places of residence. As in the sphere of housing, so in all other matters the difference between Germans and Czechs in Czechoslovakia is absolute. There are separate law courts for the two peoples. Czech industries not essential to German war economy are shut down, regardless of the ensuing unemployment. The Czech universities have been closed. The forests of Czechoslovakia will, it is estimated, require at least fifty years to recover from the wholesale timber felling which the Nazis have undertaken. It is reported that all movable property and materials have been removed to Germany. Such is the manner in which Nazi conquest works in practice.

Loiterers Booked On Vag Charges Called to the corner of Center and Helena streets to investigate two "bums," Anaheim police officers last night traced the men through an alley and into the rear yard of a residence where they found the pair sitting in a lawn swing. Because the men could not give a good account of their actions, they were booked at-the police station as vagrants. They gave their names as Charles Collins, 24, of El Monte and George Bell, 62, of Los Angeles. Both pleaded guilty this morning before City Judge Frank Tausch and were ordered to pay fines of $25 or spend 12½ days in the county jail.

Compson, also of Buena Park, had rented. Ryan did not recover consciousness until he had been brought to Fullerton for hospital attention.
