U. S. DREYFUS
CASE IN TRIAL
OF CAPT. HIDDEN
Dangerous Boomerang
Looms from Attack
BY FREDERICK KUN
(stAf Correspondent Of the Federated Press
and "The Daily Worker,'l


NEW YORK - The governments
attempt to expel Capt. Paxton Hib-
ben, Officers Reserve Corps, from the
army promises to become dangerous
boomerang. Hbben is undergoing
trial by special board of officers on
charges of advocating a policy toward
Russia different from the official at
titude of the state department.
Facts disclosed at the first hearings
at Governors Island, New York, I'M
der the presidency of General Bull
lard, show that the resources and files
OF the U. S. military secret service
are being abused for private propa-
ganda purposes. Official secrets of
the military intelligence department
are being placed at the disposition of
ordinary civilians who have an anti
Russian ak to grind. This is causing
bitter indignation.
Liberalism Only Crime.
Hibben's affair threatens to rival
the historic Dreyfus scandal, which
was originally intended to ruin an
innocent officer and ended by dis
crediting the French government and
French statesmen.
Because of his liberal views, fellow
army officers testify, his mail was reg
ularly opened and read by army spies.
When he served with the Near East
Relief in Armenia and Russia and
later came here to beg congress to
appropriate funds for famine relief
In Russia he was looked on as dan
gerous man.
In a statement to The Federated
Press, Hibben contended that holding
a commission in the Reserve Corps
does not deprive the officer of his
right as an American citizen to dis
agree with the policy Of the admins
tration or criticize cabinet officers
other than the secretary of war In
reply to one of the charges levelled
against him, namely that he had
placed a wreath upon the grave Of
John Reed, American journalist and
Communist, Hibben said he and Reed
had been college friends and had
worker together as war correspon-
dents. That act, he said, was purely
personal.
Hibben Visited Russia.
In 1922, Hihben visited Russia as a
member of an unofficial commission
of five, and compiled a report, de-
scribing the gradual economic revival
of Russia, the growing strength of the
soviet regime, and recommending
measures of American relief for the

 Tho question was not answered.
 Mandel on cross examination said the high stakes were between Leopold and Loeb only.

 Mandel said he never loaned or gave portable typewriter to Leopold and that he had lately returned from Europe.

ATLANTIC CITY, March A.

Longport, was sentenced by Federal
Judge Bodine in United States dis
trict court at Trenton to two years
In the Federal penitentiary at At
lanta, Ga, on one count and fined
$500 on another.
Judge Bodine, in imposing sent
ence on Sheck, characterized him as
"a member of the famous Jersey
coast rum ring" Judge Bodine added
that the prisoner had considerable
information that would be Of value
to the Government in it's fight
against smugglers.
Taken In Raid.
Sheck was arrested in a raid d.
rected by Federal Prohibition Agent
George Gaddis more than a year ago
In bOathouse at the Yacht Basin,
Longport, which he owns. Several
hundred cases of whisky that the
agents, from their hiding places on
shore, had witnessed being trans.
ferred from boat to Shecks house,
were seized. Three other alleged rum
runners were captured.
Adolph Futterer, of Egg Harbor,
was sentenced to ten days in the
Mercer county Jail and 500 fine
for the sale of liquor to which he
pleaded guilty before Judge RelI-
stab. William Kulp was sentenced

jail for six months, and thirty.five
others fined $500 each by Judge
William H. Smathers in the crlmi.
nal court at Mays Landing. SEN
fencing of more than fifty others

of their counsel to be in court. The

shock to the resort.

guilty as to possession of liquor

tered pleas of not guilty to the full
indictment charging possession and
sale were given prison sentences.
The violators were taken in a

JOSE EXPLAINS
AUTO SHOW
MYSTERY.
Long-Geared Men Drop Small
Change From Pockets in
Seats of Cars.

The mystery as to why so many
motorists who go to the auto show
come home minus a lot Of small
change has been solved, according
to Rudolph Jose, chairman Of the
show committee. Jose declared he
would discover where the loose
change was going, and he did.
Standing around nonchalantly he
noticed that about four out Of
every five men who inspected a
car with any degree of interest
would make it a point to sit at the
wheel. A lot Of lonE-legged chaps
were squeezing into small cars and
posing their feet on the foot pedals
in a sort Of reclining position.
There was lot of wriggling to
do in getting out, and lot of folks
were extremely clumsy about it.
Jose, as observer, began putting
two and two together. He recalled
that it was his habit to carry loose
change in his trousers pockets, and
being an average person in this
respect figured that these car ad.
mirers did the same. That being
the case it was plain to him that
in the wriggling process a lot of
prospects were paying a slight fee
for the privilege Of sitting at the
wheels Of these cars. The loose
change was Hopping out on the
richly upholstered seats and no one
knew the difference.
Just to make sure about it Jose
looked under the seat cushion of
one. of these cars and found IS
cents.
Apparently a lot of people who
are signing up for the particular
cars on the floor are going to have
pleasant surprise when they come
to look for the jack some day VIXEN
they have a puncture.
The IS cents discovered by jose
was turned over to the next party
who sat in the ear, as he had
just dropped $1,395, and 1t seemed
only fair.
