He advised the General Ch=s- men to go back home and get their ii neighbors to write Senators and} ; Congressmen to vote for measures i which neither Wall Street nor its “ administration headed by Roosevelt, ‘ would tolerate.

The pro-fascist magistrate then suited actions to his words and sentenced Kashoff to ten days in jail. Kashoff was arrested for his ac- tivities in organizing the workers on the project against rotten con- ditions, bad pay and fascist-like regimentation by the foreman of the project, a German with well-known sympathies for the Nazi hangman government of Germany. Kashoff | was charged with being a danger-| ous agitator. Fearing, however, that the charge would not stick, the pro-Nazi fore- man invented the vile lie that the militant worker had assaulted a young woman, the daughter of the janitor of the school at Sixth and Master Streets, where Kashoff had been working. For evidence he of- fered the story that the janitor had told him of “the assault.” Strangely neither the girl nor her father was in court to testify. | Kashoff promptly exposed vee charge as a frame-up, following a long list of provocations by the| foreman including abuse as a “dirty | Jew Communist” and the state-| ment that he had “just fired a hundred Jews and ‘Russian’ Com- munists.” The trial brought out the fact ili r rf is almost | thi + of the social, cultural and that militant workers on the L.w.D,|@nd_ that Hauptmann was a the report o} ; | projects have Lee chiftad from | certainly not the man who climbed | economic construction of the Tar- place to place, and that applicants for relief work are questioned as to whether they are Communists. | Not Leaving Firetrap, Says | Relief Official The Home Relief Bureau is not, making plans to abandon its build- | ing at 27 Sheriff Street, an admitted fire hazard, it was revealed at yes- | terd session of the Aldermanic committee investigating relief by | Jack M. Hirsch, in charge of the Building Management Bureau of the relief organization. Precinct 7 of the Home Relief Bureau is| housed at the Sheriff Street ad- dress. Hirsch’s testimony was elicited in the course of protracted questio: ing at the hands of Kenneth Day- jton, the committee’s counsel. He knew relatively little of the hazard- | ous character of the building, Mr. | Hirsch claimed. Dayton, however, introduced a series of letters from various city departments, including the Fire De- partment and the Bureau of Com- bustibles, proving that the firetrap nature of the building had been pointed out on a number of oc- casions, although not all the re- ports had been addressed to Hirsch directly. Building in “Dangerous Condition” One letter in particular caused | Mr. Hirsch evident discomfort. This | was from Michael Conway, head of |the Bureau of Combustibles, to the | Eleo Paint Products Company in the third floor of 27 Sheriff Street and owned by the same man who {owned the building. The Conway letter, dated Oct. 18, 1934, enclosed | the report of a member of the local | fire company in the vicinity of the |relief bureau which termed the | building in a “dangerous condition.” | | Toilet facilities in the building | | were in violation to health depart- |ment regulations, it was also re-| vealed, there being only two toilets for 150 women, and the same num- | ber for 150 male workers. The law calls for one toilet to every 15 per- sons of each sex. It had been reported at a previous session of the committee that there | were no toilet facilities at all for the | 800 clients who come to the relief | bureau each day. | A request to have the Fire, Health | and Building Departments report on the building at 10 a.m. today, | when the committee will reconvene, | was adopted. | Dr. Mayer, H.

Berlin Reported Aiding Kidnaper (Continued from Page 1) st on September 20, District At- torney Foley of the Bronx declared | he was convinced Fish was in-| nocent of any complicity in the) crime, The Dickstein Investigating Com- | mittee at that time brought to light that Fisch never met Hauptmann ; until four months after the kidnap- ing of the Lindbergh baby on March 1, 1932, “f the New York police, in col- -of housebuilding and municipal en- laboration with the Hitler govern- | ment, are actually atte:apting to} prove that Fisch is involved in the | kidnaping and murder, instead of | using the dead Jewish furrier's rela- tives to help fasten the crime on Hauptmann, as has generally been believed they would, they will be only following the logic of their comments on the news of Haupt- mann’s arrest. | At that time J. Edgar Hoover, head of the Department of Justice | declared that Hauptmann) had at least two accomplices, whose arrest he expected “momentarily,” | the now famous “Lindbergh ladder.” Hoover Supported by Sullivan | Hoover was supported in his be-| lief by Deputy Chief Inspector Sul- livan of New York, by District At- torney Foley of the Bronx, and by} Proset x Hauck of Hunterdon | County, where the crime was com- mitted. Is Ex-Convict Chief Defense Attorney Reilly, erstwhile chief attorney for Art Smith, fascist Khaki Shirt leader, announced yesterday that he has two more witnesses who will, sup- port his contention that Fisch com- mitted the murder and kidnaping and then forged Hauptmann’s sig- nature to the ransom notes, One of his witnesses is an ex- convict, a graduate of Sing Sing, who will say that Fisch was a dealer in counterfeit money, and the other, a travel agent in’ the heart of Nazi Yorkville, will swear that when Fisch bought a ticket from him to Germany, he paid for it from a large roll of gold certifi- | cates. | It was revealed yesterday that Dr. Condon himself invalidated the testimony of the lingerie model who stated that she saw Hauptmann trailing Condon in a Fordham railroad station. Con- don says that he was not in the Fordham station on the night that the model was supposed to have seen Hauptmann trail him. Samuelson Kept Off Stand Abraham Samuelson, the Bronx carpenter, who continues to main- tain that he built the ladder for) Hauptmann and three accomplices, | as well as the ransom money box | for Dr. Condon, declared yesterday that he has never been asked by | Attorney General Wilentz to iden- tify Hauptmann. Both Wilentz and Reilly still refuse to place Samuel- son on the stand for fear that the | carpenter will draw Mr. Condon, | Lindbergh’s representative in the| ransom negotiations, closer to the| actual criminals. Samuelson chazges | Department of Justice agents with warning him not to talk. | Samuelson’s declarations dovetail | perfectly with Reilly’s own conten- tion that the kidnaping and mur- der were the product of an under- world “mob” working with members of the Lindbergh household. They also corroborate statements made | by Lindbergh that he saw two men at the cemetery gate the night that the $50,000 in ransom money was handed to the mysterious “John.” The dullness of the handwriting experts’ testimony is putting the jury to sleep and causing no little anguish to the “society” folk who are sacrificing seeing some of the best dog shows of the season to attend the circus here. The most interesting points thus far made in their testimony are that one of the experts once proved a man guilty only to have the real criminal con- fess later, and that the hyphen which Hauptmann consistently used between “New” and “York” was also used by Fisch. Reilly, the running over of whose dog by a Rolls Royce caused more comment here than the Nazi terror | in the Saar, is trying desperately to explain just where he is get- ting the enormous sums that he is spending in Hauptmann’s defense. Yesterday’s explanation was that he was paying his expenses out of his; own pocket. Today’s explanation is | that Hauptmann and his wife had | saved $24,000 between them, most of if in saving banks, at the time of his arrest.

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 16. — De- | tectives broke into the headquarters | of the United Shoe and Leather Workers Union, 49 North Street, morning and arrested | twenty-five workers, including the) organizer of the union, A. Lippa, | and locked and sealed the doors of | the union headquarters. | The arrested workers were | charged with complicity in the} bombings the night before of the | Red Star Shoe Repair Shop, Tenth | and Ludlow Streets and the Frank- lin Shoe Repair Shop, Ninth Street, near Chestnut Street. All were later released, with the exception of | Lippa, who was held on a trumped- up charge of conspiracy to damage | property by bombing, and malicious mischief. The International Labor Defense, securing a copy of the charges, promptly forced his release. The owner of the Franklin shop, according to press reports yesterday, did not connect the union with the bombing, stating that he had no disagreements with the union re-| cently. Workers of the Red Star Shop are on strike, however, and the owner of that plant seized upon the bombing outrages as a god-sent op- portunity to discredit the union and attempt to break the strike. Following the raid, police began a search for the business manager | of the union, who was not in the | office at the time of the raid. police, the business manager promptly visited the police station to challenge the police charges.

They did not stop at any The accused” Bakayev, relating} how the Moscow Zinoviev counter- | revolutionary center crystallized, | stated: “Our center had no - definite program which could oppose the Central Committee of the Party. | Here it was only a malicious, hos- | tile critic of the most important | measures of the Party. This type of criticism corresponded, it must be admitted, with that of the emigrant white guard degenerates. In this lies precisely the tragedy of our situation. In our malicious sallies in struggle against the Party we slid down directly into the white guard counter-revolu- tionary swamp. Lenin was a thousand-fold right when he said that the logic of struggle leads every opposition to direct, open counter-revolution. Such is the result which we must recognize.” Describing the counter-revolu- | tionary methods employed by the} Zinoviev underground group in its | struggle against the Soviet Gov-| ernment, one of the members of the | group, Safarov, whose case was turned over for additional inves- | tigation, declared: | “After the particularly frequent | and animated meetings in 1932, when the conspirators hoped to debit their account because of certain temporary difficulties which occurred in the transition from the first to the second Five- Year Plan, all underground circles were frightenc® because of the | routing of the counter-revolution- | ary Riutin group. They returned to their secret activity of creeping counter-revolution.” Reports were widely circulated among members of the underground | group regarding various events of | internal and external Policy in open counter - revolutionary _interpreta- tion, with deliberate distortion of reality. These counter-revolution- ary “reports” were carried out through a number of participants of the group closest to Zinoviev and Evdokimov, who utilized their offi-| cial position for criminal aims, Investigation established tha | members of the “Moscow center, Kukin, Gertik and Evdokimov, in| this manner maintained counter- revolutionary connections with| members of the “Leningrad center.” Hot Beds of Slander In its struggle against the Soviet | governrient, the underground coun- ter-revolutionary group did not hes- itate to use any means. As the| accused Fedorov stated: | Members of our organization were hotbeds of the basest slan- der yarns concerning the Party leadership. The organization did not hesitate to release slanders, lies and frauds, distorting facts. It thus applied all the basest means borrowed from the arsenal of Fascism.” Concerning the counter-revolu- tionary, degenerate underground Zinoviev group, Safaroy also says: “We were extensively stewing in | our own juice, and evermore | dragged into the swamp of all | those who, like ourselves, were thrown by the splendid force of the proletarian assault into the | refuse heap of the past epoch, into the counter-revolutionary world of the white guard emi- grants, beyond the grave. All the thoughts and ideas of our organi- zation were reduced to tho crea- tion of the ideology of reaction of the bourgeois restoration, and against Socialism All counter- revolutionary anti-Party groups united together politically in an anti-Party underground, compact reactionary mass. We became the conductors of the counter-revolu- tionary wrath and hatred of the Bear Political Responsibility It is not accidental that this poisoned atmosphere of the Zinoviev underground group with its really fascist methods of struggle and open and terroristic fram> of mind grew and strengthened to the point where it resulted in the murcer of Comrade Kiroy. All of the accused, both those brought to trial in the present case, and those whose case is in the stage of further investigation, speak of the inevitability of such a frame of mind which logically was prepared by the entire character and content of the underground activities of the Zinoviev clique. Tsarkov, another of the accused also speaks about this. He directly connected Nicholaev’s shot with the “extremist,” as he expressed it, “frame of mind.” Another of the Zinoviev group, Bashkirov, dec'ared: “Nicholaev’s shot resulted from the fact that he received his education in counter- revolution in the Trotzkyist- Zinoviev organization.” He further added: “The entire Trotzkyist-Zino- viev counter-revolutionary organiza- tien bears the political responsibility for this act.” |ing consent, or instructions to or- |ganize for the commission of ter- | | activities which pushed their Len- THE NIGHTMARE —From the Deutsche Volkszeitung (Paris) New ‘Ovieang Groups Protest Visit of Hitler’s Ambassador; Communist, Socialist and A.F.L.

They must also bear responsibility according to Soviet law. This responsibility, at} least morally and politically, the accused cannot but take upon themselves. The accused Bakayev, Gorshenin, Fedorov, Evdokimoy, Sharov, Kuklin and Gertik admitted their partici- pation in the “Moscow center.” The accused Hessen, Permov, Bravo, Herzberg, Faivilovitch and Sakhov admitted their participation in the | counter-revolutionary Zinoviev group. The accused Tsarkoy, Anishey, Bashkirov and Tarasov admitted their participation in the Leningrad underground counter-revolutionary Zinoviev group. The accused Ka- meney also pleaded guilty, confirm- ing that until 1932 he participated in the underground counter-revolu- tionary activities, and was a mem- ber of the “Moscow center,” and to the very end did not break his con- nections with Zinoviev. Kamenev further admitted that: “I insufficiently, with lack of ac- tivity and energy, fought against the demoralization which was the result of the struggle against the Party upon the ground whereof the gang of bandits from the scum of former anti-Party or- ganization could arise and carry out their crime.” BRONX DELEGATES TO REPORT A report of the National Unem- ployment Congress will be ,‘ven tonight by returned delegates at the Charlotte Street Center, 1447 Char- lotte Street, Bronx, at 8 o'clock.
