Tekes, United States secretary of the .|interior, as “the greatest safeguards of our liberties.” “So long as they remain to us as political vitamins,” he asserted in an address to the annual luncheon of the Associated Press, “we can with- stand the shock troops of Fascism, of Communism or even of special privilege parading in the verisimili- tude of benevolence and Democratic concern for the common man.” Without mentioning names, Ickes also assailed the “share the wealth” plan of Senator Huey P. Long of Louisiana and the proposal of Dr. F. E. Townsend of California to pay $200 ® month to those over 60. He also made a reference, apparently to Father Charles E. Coughlin, Detroit tadio priest.

In many villages not a building was left standing. Entire families lost their lives. Hundreds of persons, trapped in debris, cried for help.
