SEVEN MEETS IN PHILADELPHIA PHILADELPHIA, Pa.—Seven open- air Sacco-Vanzetti-Scottsboro dem- onstrations will be held here Tuesday, to commemorate the death of the two Massachusetts martyrs, and de- mand the freedom of the nine in- nocent Negro boys threatened with gang or legal lynching in Alabama. The demonstrations held at 7 p. m. at Broad and South Streets, 52nd and Brown; 39th and Aspin; 13th and Reed; 26th and Enemy (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) out the city. On February 25, Tem- po, a Berlin evening paper, announced 4n huge headlines the discovery of an incendiary fire in the palace of the former Kaiser. But in their ar- guments with the Nationalists in the cabinet, the National Socialists were becoming painfully aware of the fact that it would not be easy to force the suppression of the Commu- nist Party. The incendiarism with which they had hoped to build up a case against that party would have to be more spectacular—something that would arouse the people to such @ frenzy that the Nationalists would not dare to repudiate immediate puni- tive measures against both Social Democrats and the Communist Party. All Nazi Chiefs in Town to Fire. Everything was in readiness. Sig- nificantly, not a single member of the Propaganda staff of the National So- cialist Party was listed to speak on Monday, February 27. Hitler, that indefatigable speaker, Goebbels and Goering were all in Berlin “Meanwhile emissaries of the Na- tional Socialist Party, led by Deputy eines, chief of the Silesian Storm ‘Troops, smuggled themselves through the cellar of the official residence of the Reichstag President into the Reichstag building. Each of these @arefully selected leaders of the Storm Troops and the Schutz-Staffel (Protective Guard), had __ previously been assigned to specified posts. When the lookout in the Reichstag Teported that the Communist Depu- ties Torgler and Koenen had left the building, the Nazis went to work. In a few moments the blaze was well under way. The incendiaries then hastily withdrew to the residence of the Reichstag president where they resumed their uniforms and passed unnoticed into the street. In the Reichstag building there remained only van der Lubbe, with a Dutch one i a Communist United Front flet, several photographs of der Lubbe together with an alleged cre- dential from a Dutch Communist op- Position group conveniently tucked into his hip pocket. They had thought of everything, these National Socialist incendia Still they committed mista and oversights hardly believable. Thus the official report (Prussian Press Service) is- sued February 28 stated No Guards Against “Red Outrages” “This fire is the most outrageous Negro people which | president; | | of : Comm Thomas Hides NRA Code Exploitation, | PraisingRoosevelt Wall St. Power Unaer Codes Concealed by | Socialist Leader | CHAUTAUQUA, N.

And | the Committee urges that workers for the Communist Campaign apply the same method of intimate con-| versations with the workers applied by the capitalist ward heelers. The starvation and misery of the workers is revealed by this worker’s letter, conditions which are typical for the workers of the city, and| which make it unusually favorable | to bring the Communist position of tation to the toiling masses of the} people. The worker’s letter follows: Dear Editor: I am a citizen of the U.S.A. a voter. My residence has been Brook- lyn, State of New York, County of Kings for the past 25 years.

According to these instruc- tions government buildings, museums, castles and important industrial es- tablishments were to be reduced to ashes. Communist leaders were in- structed, during uprisings, and street fighting, to line up women and chil- dren, preferably the families of gov- ernment officials and policemen, in front of the terrorist ranks. The | timely discovery of this evidence saved | Germany from a Bolshevist revolu- tion. The burning of the Reichstag was to be the signal for bloody re- | volt and civil war. On Tuesday at 4 a, m. Berlin’s stores and warehouses were to be sacked. It is proved that on February 28 all Germany would | have been swept by acts of individual | terror against prominent individuals, j and against the private property of | peaceful citizens, to usher in a period of civil war.” Why, the astonished rea#er will | ask, did the Reich Minister of the In- terior and the Chief of Police of | Berlin wait until after the Reichstag | fire to take measures for. the pre- vention of the “outbreak of the Bol- shevik revolution’? On February 24 they had found the plans for the contemplated uprising. Not later vhan Sunday, February 26, the Chief of Police must have known of the plans, for on that day he reported to Goering. On February 26 the incen- diary origin of the fire in the palace | Admiral yon Levetzow did nothing, They guarded neither public build- ings nor palaces nor museums, This was one of their mistakes, but not the only one by far. There was van der Lubbe. Did they expect the world to swallow the fairy tale about this wandering journeyman from Holland? He had spent the night of February 17 in Glindow near Potsdam, Two days later he arrived in Berlin, and, if we may believe his | story, at once gained the confidence | | of the Central Action Committee for the Revolution and to such a degree | that he was selected to play the | leading role in the important events | that were to follow. Hardly more than @ week later he was delegated was established. But Goering and | | Reichstag building. Surely Goebbels and Goering over- |estimate the credulousness of the | world’s public. They even reported that van der Lubbe admitted connec- tions with the Social Democrats as well. In the report of the Prussian Press Service quoted above we read: “In his confession the man who set fire to the Reichstag admitted his connection with the Social Demo- cratic Party. Through his confes- sion the Communist-Social Demo- cratic United Front has apparently become an actuality.” Goebbels and Goering showed their Jack of foresight in other directions. Immediately after the fire, according to the official report, three persons submitted sworn testimony that they had seen van der Lubbe in company with the Deputies Torgler and Koe- nen in the Reichstag. The Deutsche | Allgemeine Zeitung reported that | they “spent several hours in the Reichstag with the incendiary who | was arrested Monday evening. Sev- | eral other persons were also seen | near him, some of them carrying | torches. The two deputies escaped arrest, so we hear from an authenti¢ source, by making their way out of |the Reichstag building through the heating plant which runs beneath | both the Reichstag and the official | residence building of the Reichstag | president.” Embarressed by Torgler Surrender Again the reader might well ask why Torgler and his companions were permitted to walk about in full view | of the public for hours, carrying their | torches, ;,, Fhe Nationalist Peoples’ Party, though fully convinced of the need of aggressive measures against Com- munists, looked with unqualified dis- favor on the use of such methods, When it met on Tuesday after the fire, the Cabinet unanimously adopted a number of rigorous meas- ures directed against the Commu- nists, and to a certain extent, against the Social Democratic Party. But they condemned the Reichstag inci- dent, insisting that it must discredit the National Front in the eyes of the world. There was no mincing of words {n this Cabinet meeting. The National Socialist motion to outlaw the Communist Party did not pre- vail, As we have ady nist deputies, for their removal would ; Mean an absolute National Socialist majority in the parliament. The Cabinet also denied Goering the right to publish the forgeries found in the Karl Liebknecht Haus. It was argued that the publication of these ob- viously forged documents would im- plicate the government still more deeply in the whole unsavory affair. To the added discomfiture of the government, the Communist deputy Torgler presented himself at Police Headquarters on Tuesday morning. Goering was instructed to make an official denial of the story that Torg- ler had given himself up. Goering and Goebbels made the ut- most of the chance to close down on Communist and Socialist propaganda during the election campaign. They knew that the story of the Commu- nist origin of the Reichstag fire was believed by peasants, the petty bour- geois and the middle class through- out the country and that these ele- ments would vote for the Nationalist Socialist Party as the leader in the fight against the spectre of Bolsh: vism. But they were disquieted by | the attitude of the German National- ist Ministers in the Cabinet. ‘They | had not been able to gain the lat- ter’s consent to the suppression of | the Communist Party. They bitterly | resented the stout resistance of the | German Nationalists, the Steel Hel-| | mets and the Reichswehr to their incessant demands, and were more, than ever determined to rid them-| | selves of the iron embrace of their, partners in government. The sooner the better. The leaders put their heads together. Nazi Coup Falls Through Finally the Nazis decided on their coup d’etat on election day. They) planned to occupy the government district in Berlin and to call upon Hindenberg either to consent to a reorganization of the government or to resign. In this case Hindenburg was to appoint Hitler as acting Pres-| |ident and Goering as Chancellor.

This was reported at the sec- ond general membership meeting of Daily Worker Volunteers last Friday night, which was also a send-off to Sam Silverstein, the young worker who won the free trip to the Soviet Union at the recent Daily Worker picnic. Assistant Director Fischer of the Volunteers delivered a stirring re- sume of the work planned by the Executive Committee, the report of which was approved by the meet- ing, and appealed to all Volunteers to secure additional members. Special recognition was accorded to Volunteer Weitzman, who se- cured the greatest number of sub- sepibers and Volunteers, and who membership book.

The Herren Klub, the groups about the Steel Helmets and the Ger- man Nationalist leaders conferred earnestly.

Nationalists Planned Trap for Nazis ‘The following plan was decided ‘upon: An official report of the find- ings of the investigation of the Reich- stag fire was to be made public, so worded that the German Nationalists would later be able to prove, should it become necessary, that they had been on the track of National Social- ist culprits at the time of its publica- tion. Should the Nazi Ministers make an attempt to carry out their plan to take possession of the gov- ernment district, a statement to this effect would be publishéd broadcast, to discredit the Nazi Ministers in the eyes of the public.

Three of the clan were called before the tribunal last week and to show that- he meant business the bland General Phelan made a limousine hop to Fugazy Bowl in Coney Island to put the fear of God into a herd of twelve wrestling cauliflowers.

The family supplies promoting, managing, matchmaking, seconding, water-boy and general phenagling service to a multitude of house-fighters, three or gram of a number of clubs. When investigated the Johnston boys invariably assume an I-ain’t- heard-nothing-I-ain’t-seen - nothing- | and-I-don’t?know - nothing attitude. The wounded look which creeps into Jimmy’s big brown eyes beats Zasu Pitts at her best. Withal, the boy is glib, When asked if he managed Lew Farber who fought on last Thursday's Garden card, Jimmy assured the Commission that Lew “just came to me in the Garden and asked where he could get a manager. I told him I wasn’t interested in managing fight- ers. I sent him up to the St. Nicholas Arena and told him he might find a manager there. That's gll I know about it.” Then came the turn of Sonny who heads St. Nicholas Arena. “No,” he said, “I don’t manage fighters either. They just call me on the phone and ask for advice. I give them free advice and tell them where they can get matches.” Dan Parker reports Brother Char- ley’s turn on the stand: “He, too, has nothing to do with managing fighters or wrestlers, he said. He was espe- cially positive of this when the Com- mision asked why his wrestlers didn’t wrestle the Curley grapplers and give the public some real matches instead of the sickening burlesques which now prevail. Curley, who was also summoned, agreed on the spot to let | any of his herd meet the Royal Fam- ily mopes.” Charley said “he'd have | to ask the wrestlers individually as he didn’t manage them.” How Curley happened to be on the spot is one of those sweet mysteries. Goodness knows, it may have some- thing to do with General Phelan’s sudden spurt of activity in behalf of clean sport. Yes, the very military chairman of the Boxing Commission hove straight to Fugazy Bowl and gave the Garden burpers a real top sergeant heart-to-heart talk. “Elbow punching, crawling through the ropes, bare foot grappling, drop kicking, flying tackles and head-on collisions are barred,” he admon- ished.” And remember violations of these rules will result in your im- mediate suspension.” As it happened, the immediate re- sult of the talk was a dull show which had the customers howling for blood. Joe Stecher continued his breathtak- ing march toward a “title match” by pinning Abe Kashey with his bally- heoed but boring body scissors.
