The Caucasion Crusade appears to be organized to meet all contingencies in a lynch- ing program against Negroes and ‘agitators’—to lynch, to defend the lynehers in the courts, to push through deportations and even to bury the dead. Twenty-five thou- sand dollars to investigate Commu- nism; not one cent to prevent lynching!” Trial In September. The trial of Powers, Carr, Bur- lak, Dalton, Newton and Storey is set for September in Atlanta, home of the Caucasion Crusade move- mént. The International Labor De- fense is carrying on a vigorous campaign to bring the story of the} Atlanta cases before the masses of the workers and to raise funds for the defense of the defendants, all of whom are continuing their work, unintimidated by the threats of law- Jess as well: as judicial lynching ‘hat hang over them. OFFICE WORKERS MEET. FORM DEFENSE CORPS At Wednesday night’s educational reeting members of the Office Yorkers’ Union discussed the war langer, elected five delegates to the anti-war conference, and formed a Jleferse corp for the purpose of pro- ‘ecting their speakers.

Convenient Memory. The last day of the Fish commit- tee’s hearings here developed two more. One was the same George Djamgaroff, lap-dog of the Stimson family, where, according to Spivak’s testimony, Mrs. Loomis, sister-in- | law of the present secretary of state, finances his activity. Djamgaroff has been sitting in the secret ses- sions of the Fish committee and ob- viously advising them throughout the investigations. Just when the Amtorg and Spivak and the printer who printed them had about blown up the Whalen forgeries, Djam- garoff suddenly appeared as a wit- ness, and testified that he had just “recognized” the Amtorg general manager, Ziavkin, as “head of the flying squad of the Cheka” in Ros- accepted gratefully by the previously much embarrassed Fish committee. There was no cross-examination or any movement by the congressmen that might shatter the flimsy web. How to Stay In U. S. Another liar provided the same day was one claiming to be named Michael Handler. He admitted he entered this country illegally. This is one of the talking points of the Fish committee—all sorts of threats have been made against “Reds who slip over the border,” But they didn’t threaten Handler, Oh, no! Fish reassured him, “You're perfectly safe here; you’re in Amer- {ica now and you're perfectly safe.” With this promise of apparent immunity for illegal entry, Handler went ahead and paid his price for evading deportation. He said he used to belong to the Cheka, and that it sent spies to work in Am- torg. It is evident that no matter how many forgeries fail, the Fish com- mittee is going ahead to pile up fake evidence for its laws against labor and its attack on the Soviet Union.
