ANITA WHITNEY
CASE R0USING
WIDE DISSENT
Victim of C. S. Law
Won't Ask Pardon
BY MIRIAM ALLEN de FORD.

SAN FRANCISCO-(FP)--The de-
which sends Anita Whitney to San
Quentin has caused furore in the
district where she has years been
known and loved. People who vaguely
approved of the California criminal
syndicalism law as "a good restraint
on those /. w. VS." are now shocked
and distressed by its workings. 1t is
possible that her martyrdom-for to
a woman in frail health, past middle
age, and unaccustomed to hardship, it
will be no less-may prove the final
blow to this law.
VIII Not Ask Pardon
81 will make no effort to secure a
pardon from Gov. Richardson" says
Miss Whitney. 81 have done nothing
to be pardoned for He has had a
long time to pardon the others, the
poor men without. influence, who are
in San Quentin on the same charges
that / am found guilty Of. Let him
release those men from prison, and
not concern himself only with wo-
man who has the thousands Of iniu-
entail friends that have"
With these words Anita Whitney re-
plies to the state and nationwide
movement to secure her pardon, Rich
ardson refuses to discuss the case
with a delegation from the American
Civil Liberties union and has made no
reply to the hundreds of letters and
kilograms from sources as diverse as
the w. G. T. u, the Y. w. C. A., Negro
Progressive club Of Oakland, and Up
ton Sinclair.
Destined for San Quentin
Miss Whitney's on4y hope of free
dom lies in a new appeal to the SUI
preme court for new hearing. Pres.
Coolidge, even if he could be ap-
preached, has no power of pardon in
the case of a state law. Owing to le-
gal technicalities, it may be a month
or six weeks before she is actually
ordered to San Quentin. Although
the ostensible reason for the convic-
ton was her membership in the de-
funct Communist Labor party, she
would not have been molested had she
not, while under Indictment, insisted
on making speech before club on
the Negro question.
Her arrest occurred as she was
leaving the hall. Coincidently with
the courts decision (tho purely by ac-
cident), new protest strike has brok-
en- out among the criminal syndical-
ism prisoners at San Quentin. At this
] writing Is men aretin solitary and
three in the dungeon. A letter SNUG
gled out from the prison states that
the strike followed arbitrary punish
ment of P. Mellman and Joe Varella,
criminal syndicalism prisoners, be-
cause they were physically unable to
speed up to the new tasks demanded
in the prison jute mill. The men claim
also that they are not receiving even
the meager prison ration, and that
prison rules are being violated daily.
1t is to the overcrowded women's
department of this prison that Anita
Whitney is to be sent for from one
to fourteen years for telling the truth
as she saw it.

Hungarian Legation
Astonished at u. S.
Protest on Rakosi

WASHINGTON (FP) - Protests
from American liberals and from
Americans of Hungarian birth or
descent, against the threatened whole
sale execution OF Imprisonment Of
alleged plotters against the Horthy
dictatorship in Hungary, have made
an impression on Budapest. This is
indicated by the anxious attitude Of
legation officials who refuse to discuss
the situation. They appear astonish-
ed that the arrest and reported tor
ture of prominent radicals and social
lists in Hungary should become known
in the United States and should lead
to public discussion.

ATTENTION
TO DISABLED MEN

Marked advances IN governmental
care of disabled World war veterans
have been made during the past year,
according TO a report on the work Of
the year prepared by Chairman Wat
son B. Miller, of the national rehabili-
tation committee of the American Lee
gion. improvements were in line with
recommendations made by the Legion
committee.
Service of the United States Vet
erans' bureau was greatly improved as
result of its decentralization, re-
view of all old and disallowed claims,
vast volume of correspondence In
forming veterans of their rights under
new legislation and new regulations
and the preparation of new rating
schedule.
The effect Of these changes and innO-
vations has been to carry the service
Of the bureau out into the field in
Intimate contact with the veteran and
his dependents. A new attitude Of
helpfulness and cooperation toward
AhN FCACld maj nN0 AiAG hAAAAAAAAH
tration of the bureau.
In May 5000 more veterans were
getting hospital care by the bureau
than in July a year ago. Four Of
every five of the 29,424 veterans in
hospitals were In their home states,
as against only one in two a year ago.
Hospital facilities were increased by
5000 beds during the year. New con-
struction win add 1,016 beds and plans
are being drawn for five or six add
tional hospitals. Special attention Is
being given to providing for disabled
women veterans, of whom ] 645 are
drawing compensation, PAL are hos
pitalized and 1876 have tuberculosis.
Passage of the Reed-Johnson bill
and its amendments has resulted dur
Ing the year In an increase in benefits
to 30, 433 disabled men and women to
total of SIC, 493, s66, an average per
veteran of $4S1.30. Full benefits Of
this legislation, Mr.. Miller says, have
not vet been felt.
Only about half of the 100000 or
100000 old cases under review have
been completed 1n about Is per cent
of these cases benefits from the new
laws accrue to the veteran or his de-
pendents.
Among those benefited during the
first year of this legislation are 10000
shell-shocked veterans to a total Of
$4,620501 and 1O,2S1 tuberculosis
cases to a total, of SS,493,4 S9. Other
benefieiaries include helpless totally
deaf and blind veterans and men af-
flicted with sleeping sickness, amoebic
dysentery and paralysis agitans.

SKI WAS AMUSING
TO NEW YORK FANS
Always Gave Boxing Patrons
in Gotham Their Moneys
Worth.

Ski, although he Jared none too
well in American rings. was always
q drawing card. This was because
the fans knew that in one way or
another, they were going to get their
moneys worth when he entered the
ring. When Sikh felt like fighting he
could fight. When he felt like clown
ing he was vaudeville show in him
self.
Sikh had plenty Of ring ability and
matchless courage. He could hit and
he had no small measure of clever
ness. He was a far better fighter
than many of the men who won de-
cisions over him In American rings.
He might have gone high in his pro
fession had he taken the game seri-
ously. But he trained on the cup that
cheers and he did his road work along
the primrose path.
Skis star first flashed across the
fistic armament when he knocked out
Georges Carpenter in Paris and won
the light heavyweight championship of
the world. There was quite an uproar
over that affair, the claim being made
that Sikh had contracted 10 take a
dive and instead double-crossed the
Frenchman.
Immediately after that fight the Bat
tier got his first taste of high life. For
weeks he was the worshiped idol of
the Partisan boulevards and the Mont
martre. He was wined and dlned until
the Paris police called with a patrol
wagon and gave him his first of many
such rides.
Sikh and his money were soon part
ed and he began to look around for
another fight At this psychological
second Mike McTigue landed in Paris
and suggested 10 the Battler that 1t
would be a nice thing If they could
fight (for Skis title) in Dublin on
ST. Patrick's day.
"If there's anything that goes big in
Dublin on st. Patrlck's day It's a
fight" explained Mike, ordering up an
other quart of sparkling Burgundy.
''Yes. sir, they'll pay big to see a good
fight in Dublin on the 18th of March
and they love you black boys over
there" Mike didn't know It, but he
was hanging up a worlds record for
pugilstic strategy. It has never been
equaled.
Battling Sikh accepted guileless
child Of the lungle-and McTigue won.
How could he have lost-an Irishman
lighting a black man in Dublin on St.
patrick's day?
