SUBVERSION CHARGE
ACCUSED COMMITTED FOR TRIAL (PA.) TIMARU, July 10. In the Magistrate’s Court this morning Leslie Stanislaus Dixon, aged 35, a carpenter, of Christchurch, was charged that, on March 21. at Timaru, he published a subversive statement: “The war is wrong. I would sooner be under Hitler than Fascist Fraser or Fascist Churchill. People are —— fools to go to the war. I would advise them not to go.” The accused intimated that he intended to reserve his defence, and after evidence had been heard he pleaded not guilty and was committed to the Supreme Court at Timaru for trial next week.
