= RES 10 LANGH ANERCAN DRVE Secret Convention at Chicago Arranged for July 3, Say Monarchists. By the Associated Press BERLIN, June 23—Russian mon- archists here claim-d today that Amer- ican Communists in conference with Moscow agents at Danzig last week had planned intensification of the| Communist movement in America this ' coming September. i ‘The next step in the movement, the | monarchists say, will be a secret con- vention of Communists in Chicago July 3, at which further plans will be made and participation of South American Reds invited. The campaign is to be stressed in Chicago, Philadelphia and | Baltimore. * ‘The emigres, who consider the Rus- sian Communist regime as their arch enemy, asserted that on June 17 the Communist international executive allocated 1,000,000 gold rubles (about $500,000) for dissemination ef Com- munism in the United States. About 40 instructors will be appoint- ed, the emigres say, to “spread the Red gospel” throughout the United States. To carry out the plan several American Communists are said to have received orders to return home immediately. ‘These include William Hood of Phila- delphia and George Holbrook of Bos- ton, who left Danzig Thursday for Mar- seille, where they are embarking for the United States. Other Americans said to have been present at the meecting are Harold Talbot of Baltimore and a man named Ruegert of Chicago. William Fowler, Ha Upton and a certain Weighardt, lllr(:{NPw York, came from Moscow to Danzig by airplane. POLICE AWARE OF "PLANS. Communist Convention Scheduled in Chicago Months Ago. CHICAGO, June 23 (#).—Police said tonight they have 'n aware for two months that a Communist convention s scheduled here for July 4 and 5, as reported in_a dispatch from Berlin, Germany. Delegates have already be- gun to arrive, Lieut. Michael Mills of the industrial squad said. Mills said also that his sources of information indicate that the Commu- nists_expect about 3,000 delegates. He added that he had received reports that the delegates would wind up their session with a march on Washington, D. C, to present their demands to President Herbert Hoover, Mills said he knew of the secret meeting in the Free City of Danzig and who went there from Chicago. The local delegates will be questioned when they return, he added. Recent activity of Communists in Chicago, beginning with the unem- ployment demonstrations of March 6 and later, as regarded by Mills as preliminary “boom-boom” for the July convention. Their “demands,” he said, already “presented” several times to Ma; William Hale Thompson and|had been much political activity in hllyot;blnet officers, consist of “work | Forsythe’s behalf at the time of the or wages, & 35-hour working week, recognition of the Soviets and abolition | charge. of all vagrancy laws.” CONGRESS TO INVESTIGATE. House Committee Will Look Into Berlin Reports, Says Bachmann. By the Associated Press. Representative Bachmann, Republic- an, West Virginia, said today he be- lieved the House Communist committee would look into reports from Berlin that American Communists plan ex- tensive propaganda in this country next September. In the absence of Chairman Fish, who was in New York City, the West Virginia committee member said it ‘would endeavor to determine where the Communists procured funds to dissem- inate propaganda in this country. The committee has set July 15 as & tentative date on which to begin hearings in New York City, where rep- presentatives of the Amtarg Trading Corporation, the unofficial Sovite com- mercial agency in this country, are to be_heard. It also plans to hold hearings in Chicago, Cleveland and probably on the West Coast if deemed desirable on the basis of information gathered at_the New York hearings. The committee held several weeks of hearings, mostly behind closed doors, in Washington, at which Government officlals, representatives of the labor unions and the Daughters of the American Revolution disclosed their views of Soviet influences in this country, Two Die in Plane Crash.

KLEIN FAVORS FLEXIBLE TARIFF Declares Work of New Com- mission Will Be Boon to U. S. Business. Power to change tariff rates upward or downward, granted to President Hoo- ver and the United States Tariff Com- | mission, will be a boon to business, Dr. | Julius Klein, Assistant Sscretary of Commerce, declared last night in a ra- | dio address. | Dr. Klein said that the law would re- iquil’e the President to designate a new | commission within 90 days, and pre- icted that the policy of the adminis- tration and the personnel of the new body would “revitalize the flexible pro- vision and make it genuinely helpful to consumers as well as producers,” Must Fit Conditions. Modern conditions of commerce, he continued, require that tariff duties be shaped to fit changing conditions in particular industries and trade situa- tions, rather than reconstructed in general tariff revisions. “A permanent scientific body work- ing continuously and exclusively on this subject in somewhat the way the Inter- state Commerce Commission works at our railway rate structure can, in col- laboration with the President, make ad- justments on individual commodities without introducing uncertainty into the entire business fabric,” he said. Powers Broadened. “There are a variety of reasons why I believe we may reasonably hope that the new Tariff Commission will accom- plish a great deal more in changing | rates under this clause than was done under the old plan. There has been an entire revolution in powers.

By the Associated Pres CHICAGO, June 23.—James (Red) Forsythe, gun toter and former City Hall employe, was hunted today as the man who killed “Jake” Lingle, Tribune reporter. Forsythe, whom Judge John Lyle a | year ago characterized as a ‘“potential | killer,” is under a year's jail sentence for carrying concealed weapons. The sentence recently was affirmed by the appellate court. . Judge Lyle recalled today that there latter’s trial on the gun-carrying “His (Forsythe's) friends among the politicians almost ran me to_death to | vacate the sentence,” Judge Lyle said. “I would not do it.” In December Raid. Forsythe, the police recalled, was ar- rested in a raid on the Moran-Aiello gang headquarters last December. He was released when he identified himself as an employe of the corporation cou: sel’s office. Police at the time, in com- | menting on his release, said Forsythe wad “in the place innocently—he was sent there. He isn’t a hoodlum.” But today they hunted him for! murder. Police said they had no photograph or identification of Forsythe, explaining that no rogues’ gallery pictures may be taken by police until the high court has sustained convictions. The police have held persistently to a theory that the murder of Lingle, when solved, would trace back to the Moran-Alello gang. Lingle, who had a wide acquaintance among gangsters by reason of his work as a police re- porter, was known to be friendly to Al Capone, whose gang long has fought the Moran-Afello group. Frank Foster Wanted. Search also is under way for Frank Foster, original owner of the gun used in the Lingle murder. Foster, formerly 2 Moran-Ajello man, changed allegiance some time ago, going over to the Ca- pones, Forsythe's name came into the gang- ster classification through his close friendship for the “four horsemen of ngland”"—George (Red) Barker, Wil- iam Clifford, Cy Cawley and Michael Rellly—of whom only Barker now sur- vives. ‘The new acting commissioner of po- lice, John H. Alcock, made unannounced visits to several police stations over the week end. He sald he wanted to find out “how things really are.” One of the largest transfers of police officers in the history of the depart- ment has been predicted for this week.

THOMAS DOUBTS TARIFF BENEFITS Wood of Indiana Answers With Defense of Measure. ‘The principal arguments for against the Hawley-Smoot tariff bill, signed by the President late Tuesday, were presented yesterday by a Demo- cratic Senator and & Republican Rep- resentative. In a statement of Senator Thomas of Oklahoma, issued by the Democratic national committee, protests of foreign nations -against applying the schecules in the law were regarded as “serious.” Representative Will R. Wood of In- diana, chairman of the Republican congressional campaign committee, held that the strongest recommendation of the law’s protective policy was to be found in the opposition of “Wall Street gamblers,” whom he charged with at- tempting to discredit the administration and the tariff law. He advocated a congressional investigation of “dumping and short selling of stocks. “The bill just passed, admitted by all at home to be bad and condemned uni- versally abroad,” Senator Thomas said, ‘is the paramount issue of the people. Efifl'wafl" issue is relief from the Mellon Statement Quoted. The statement issued Thursda; Secretary Mellon, envisioning subi’lh:! tion of business through certainty of industrial programs, contained, ~the Senator declared, “a veiled threat to protesting nations,” while Watson's ;:g:: d.dd{)T“ b(;f t’!le same dey was ed “his biennial 59'9]_6}*‘!- campaign tariff “There is every reason to b Representative Wood said, "tgel]:evl‘etl- cent manipulations in the New York stock market which have cost scores of | thousands of small investors hundreds of millions of dolla: ave been of gfiét::;‘lt l.:l}a,plrltl\:?. nd intended to a e national administrati and the new tariff law. i Would Probe Short Selling. Wood said that he was strongly in favor of a congressional investigation of the dumping and short selling of stocks in the New York market last year and this year for the deliberate purpose of disorganizing the securities market and making political capital by the most ruthless, destructive and un- patriotic methods. ¢ Such an investigation will reveal the names of those big business men who are in politics for profit and are willing to sacrifice their country and their countrymen to satisfy “their own malice_and Superior Garages, $125 up HOME IMPROVEMENTS WE BUILD.
