would make such organizations "un'
lawful, but punish by ten years i'm
prisonment and $4,000 fine the holding

of an organizations propaganda and
rental of halls for meetings also are
penalized in the bill which is the joint
work OF Senator Walsh, of Montana
and Senator Jing, of Utah, and which
was unanimously approved by the sen.

Senator Walsh said the bill was in
tended to outlaw organizations
teaching, advising, using or defending
force or violence or physical injury
to property. He also thought it would
extend to lynchings but Senator Borah
of Idaho disputed that argument.
Whether legitimate strikes or or

Walsh said there is no purpose to pro-

WITNESSES THREATENED
Declares lnsidi0us Attempts
We're Made to Block His
Investigation.

Washington, May Upon learning
of the publication of letters and mes
sages addressed to him by President
Wilson in connection with aircraft pro
gram, Gutzon Borglum tonight gave
out the text of an open letter to thu
president in which he expressed the
hope that the ''camouflage deliberate
ly planned by group of men entrust
ed with a great arm Of our military
machine has come to an end" But add
ed that the chart of reconstruction OF
the aviation organization filled him
with definite alarm"
Mr.. Borglum said he had noticed the
publicity given his correspondence
with something more than shock and
that he could hardly interpret it as
friendly. In the course of a long let
ter he declared the Aero department
is full of profiteering, and hundreds
OF millions have gone" and that when
he commenced his investigation from
an Office in the war department build
ing assigned to him his work was sys.
tematically blocked, to the extent even
Of threatening witnesses. He named
in this connection Stanley King, as
signed as an aide to his work, and
asserted that Major General Squier,
chief of the signal corps ACTED in like
manner"
Officials conspired."
Every official approached and
from whom had the right to receive
aid and courtesy entered into a gen.
eral conspiracy to deceive, ito mislead,
and to prevent learning the truth
about the aeronautic situation

sumo to give the reason for this"
Remarking that Colonel E. A. Deeds,

that 200 American planes were flying

twenty planes FL ....

that factories have been created
where there were no factories neces-
sary, and contracts to the extent OF
fifty millions given to men who had
neither rhyme nor reason for the re-
hottest connection with the emergency
of airplane production, but who had
the pull of Deeds, and who are still
floundering in their ignorance and in
competency. unable and incapable OF
fulfilling their contracts, still drawing
under the cost plus system on the
treasury of the nation. ...

Many articles that appeared in the
