STRACHEY TALKS AS CASE PENDS Tells Student Audience Capitalism Is Failure. - Case Continued. ANN ARBOR, Mich,, March 15 (#). ~Evelyn John Strachey, British lec- turer whose deportation is sought by the PFederal Governmeni, told 1,300 University of Michigan students and faculty members last night that capi- talism is a failure. He predicted that capitalistic ef- forts to amelicrate the Nation's eco- nomic difficulties wsuld lead only to *“a series of crises that will make 1929 look like a period of stable prosperity, crises that will produce the gradual destruction of ctvilization.” Commenting on his own situation, Strachey declared the gagging of public utterances and deportation of such men as himseif was “one of the most futile activities in which the capitalistis class can indulge.” “Capitalism can actually refute my | arguments by getting the whole sys- | tem back into working order and by | taking 22,000,000 persons off the relief | rolls.” | He disparaged recovery efforts, how- | ever, as “temporary.” | Strachey spoke in a hall a few | blocks from ‘the campus, university authorities having refused to allow the speech in Hill Auditorium. CASE IS CONTINUED. Author Says United States Fell for | Publicity Stunt. CHICAGO, March 15 (#).—Govern- ment officials today deliberated their next step in the deportation case against E. John Strachey. Accused of spreading subversive doctrines, the Briton prepared to ex- press his controverted political and | economic views before new American | audiences unperturbed by charges | that he is an alien Communist. Arrested here Tuesday night, he was arraigned before Fred J. Schlot- | feldt, immigration inspector, Wed- nesday and was freed on a $500 bond furnished by Prof. Robert Morss Lovett of the University of Chicago. Yesterday he returned for another closed conference with Schlotfeldt. | Several hundred persons turned out to hear the proceedings, but the tall author, two attorneys furnished by the American Civil Liberties Union | and the inspector argued the case in | the strictest privacy. Three guards, equipped with sidearms, were sta- | tioned at the steel door. Schlotfeldt | continued the case until March 21| and made no attempt to restrict Strachey’s activities Strachey said he thought the whole business was “damned silly.” | “I am doing a magazine article called ‘Should I Be Deported?’” he said. “My publishers and I hired the | Government to press agent the article. It was handled for a reasonable fee. It seeps the New Deal was a bit out of funds and grabbed the chance to pick up seven or eight billions.” The hulking lecture. denied he is a Communist. but said he was a be- | liever in Communist theories.

A protest against “terrorism on the radio,” as contained in broadecasts for children, was voiced last night by the Woodridge Parent-Teacher Associa- tion. The following resolution was edopted: “The Woodridge Parent-Teacher Association heartily approves the spe- cial article on ‘Terrorism on the Radio,’ by Thomas R. Henry, printed recently in The Evening Star, and un- qualifiedly commends the action of eminent psychologists and educators of this city in protesting the unde- sirable broadcasts now being made for children.” ‘The principal speaker at last night's meeting, Dr. Michael Dreese of the psychology department, George Wash- ington University, commended the as- sociation for its action and expressed the conviction that broadcasting com- panies would give consideration to the protests.

Coughlin, not to the passengers who told of his | drumming. | 6 FUNERALS FOR WOMAN Friends of Jewish Leader Hold Series of Rites.

Injuries received when struck by a hit-and-run driver early Sunday as he was returning “home” after a seven-year absence proved fatal last night to Frank P. Stehlin, 44, of St. Louls. He dled in Emergency Hos- pital of a fractured skull and other hurts 24 hours after identification by his wife, Mrs. Emma C. Stehlin, 495 N street southwest. It was the twenty-fifth traffic fa- tality of the year here. Stehlin remained unconsclous for several days after being found in the street in the 400 block of Maryland avenue southwest. His wife identified him Wednesday at the hospital after his daughter-in-law, Naomi Crowley, 21, recognized his picture in a news- paper. Left Home in 1827. Without a word, Stehlin left his job and home in November, 1927, Mrs. Stehlin said yesterday, and was not heard from until this past Janu- ary, when he wrote from St. Louis asking if she was still his wife. After answering that she was, Mrs, Stehlin said she recelved another letter the following month announcing his in- tention of returning to Washington. “He must have been on his way home when the accident happened,” his wife said. Stehlin's parents and daughter by a former marriage live in St. Louls, Mrs. Stehlin said. Police Seek Automobile. Police today were still seeking to | locate the automobile which struck him. A broken headlight lens was | said to be the only clue. Running into the street from be- tween two parked automobiles in front of his home yesterday, Herman | Clomax, 4, colored, of 28 Massa- | chusetts avenue, received a possible | skull fracture when struck by an automoblile which, police said, was driven by John L.
