Chaplin with causing Miss Berry
to be transported back from New
York on or about October 26, 1942.
" Three Indictments" were return
ed under the civil rights statutes.
The first charged Chaplin, Ar
den and White with conspiring to
influence a judge of Beverly Hills
city court ; to impose sentence
upon Miss Berry for the purpose
of deporting her from the state
of California.
The second accused Griffin,
Arden, White and Chaplin of in
ducing Miss Berry to plead guilty
to a charge of vagrancy without
regard to whether or not she was
in fact guilty. . This is a misde
meanor under federal statutes.
The third indictment charged
Chaplin, White, Judge Griffin

Miss Berry, due process of law
and to subject Miss Berry to "de
privation of rights, privileges and
immunities' secured to her by the
United States constitution.

Oregon dairymen face losses this
year at least equal to the several
millions of dollars they lost in
1943, E. L.I Potter of Oregon State
college told the Oregon Dairy
men's association today.
Potter said one of the reasons
for losses was the practice of buy
ing cattle ; for ; military use from
federally inspected plants. He
said there were only three such
plants in the state early in 1943w
Potter blamed office of price
