Open Trial of Mexican
Worker of Chicago Who
Is Victim of Frame-Up

CHICAGO, May 2.--The case of
Agustin Morales, the Mexican who is
being framed by the police as the
murderer of Policeman Lyman j.
Stahl of Melrose Park, Dec. 7th, will
come to trial before Judge Harry b.
Miller, today. The trial will probably
last q week OF longer.
Senator Eleazar del Vale Of Mex
leo recently called upon Mary Belle
Spencer, Morales attorney, and ex-
pressed a willingness to do anything
possible for the defense. The case is
attracting widespread attention be-
cause Of the ugliness Of the circum-
stances in which the Mexican colony
at Melrose Park found themselves in
volved following q tragedy in the
darkness Of which little is actually
known. 1t is feared that much per-
jured testimony will be introduced TO
aid the state in its attempt to secure
a death penalty for a Mexican who
is obviously innocent.

Blackshirts Armed
With Stilett0s to
Guard Fascist Plane

Under heavy guard by black-shirted
fascists, the airplane Santa Maria II
was being primed yesterday for the
flight back to Europe of Francesca
de Pinedo, the Italian "air ambassa-
dor" of Mussolini. Armed in drama
tic fashion with stilettos, the fascist
threatened newspaper cameramen
with violence. On the voyage over
from Italy, the plane was guarded by
black shirts working in three watches
of six men each while passengers
were not allowed within rs feet.
In honor Of the fascist, the captain
and officers of the steamer Duilio
and officials on the pier wore black
neckties and black gloves yesterday.

RADIO CENSORS
ARE HAMMERED
IN DEBATE HERE
WEAF Chief Assailed
By Radio Liberals
By HARBOR ALLEN,
Federated Press).

Questions on freedom of speech over
the radio, which he could only evade
or stammer about, were hurled at
Merlin n. Aylesworth, president of
the National Broadcasting CO., sta
ton WEAF, at the radio dinner Of the
America Civil Liberties Union.
Aylesworth, in a bland tone, had
just assured the guests that there was
plenty of free speech on the air; that
anybody who wanted to broadcast
could do so-providing WEAF, owned
by the Westinghouse and the West
ern Electric Companies, felt his re-
marks were adapted to RADIO" and
that broadcasting was a losing propo-
sition.
Morris l.. Ernst, attorney for the
Liberties Union, demanded to know
why, if there was free speech on the
radio, Norman Thomas, Senator Wat
son, De Valera, Hans Kaltenborn of
the Brooklyn Eagle, and other critics
Of political administrations had their
speeches censored, cut off, or denied
the air. He also asked why, if broad
casting is a losing proposition, sta
tions with practically no equipment
are being traded at a premium of
100000 to 100000.
Ernst denounced the sale of "the
mere signature of Secretary Hoover's
name" for large sums of money. La
Dor had fought for two years before
it was granted license, he added, and
some liberal groups in New York still
find it impossible to get one.
DR.. James Yard, of the Methodist
Board of Foreign Missions, asked
whether WEAF would broadcast a
plea for the removal of warships
from China, and "Hands Off China"
policy. Aylesworth, stammering, pre-
sumed that "the speaker was serious"
and said he had "thought of starting
an open forum over the radio for all
topics. OF course, that can't be over
done, as the public wants only to be
entertained"
In reply to a question by Arthur
Garfield Hayes, another Liberties
Union attorney, Aylesworth listed
among his advisory board" William
Green, Elihu Root, Charles Evans
Hughes, julius Rosenwald and Owen
d. Young. "Why don't you have a
board composed Of all shades of po-
litical opinion?" asked Mr.. Hayes.
"Your board would not pass anything
the least bit radical"
"There can be no freedom of the
air as long as broadcasting is com
mercial," declared ]. Maher, radio edi-
tor of the New York Evening Journal.
stations must please their customers,
and they are afraid to send out con-
troversial subjects or anything that
makes people think. WEAF won't
broadcast talk on atheism or social
ism, because they're in business and
they hope to stay"

swept the pit late Saturday.
The entombed men, it is believed,

feet. Rescurers this morning, ac-
cording to early reports, had succeed

Another Mine Burns.
Fire broke out today in the Vir-
ginia and Pittsburg Coal Company
mine at Kingmont, near Fairmont,
according to word received here.
The mine is several miles off the
nearest main highway and only mea-
ger information was received con-
corning the blaze.
A considerable number of workers
are imperiled by the blaze, but It is
thought that they may have all es-
capped.
This second fire, following closely
on the heels of the disastrous ex-
plosion and fire at the New England
Fuel and Transportation Co. mine
here, is but another point in the in
dictment against non-union mine
which is taking form in
the minds OF, all miners as result
Of the great increase in the number
fatal or dangerous accidents lately.
Non-union Dangers.
Miners see the prevalence of such
conditions as inseparable from union
contracts, made bS organized work
ers who are able to effectively strike,
if necessary, to establish safe condi-
tions.
The attempts made in nearby
Pennsylvania to extend the area Of
non-union fields, and turn large coal
companies from union to non-union
conditions, is taken by miners as
threat Of increased menace TO life and
limb.

nonsense.
Before the workers of the whole

picable in their intention and inef-
ficient in their execution of the worst
enemies of the Chinese revolution.
Workers of all countries will es-
innate according to their value these
attempts inspired by foreign capital
lists for the purpose of strangling the
great movement Of workers and peas
ants of China. Their vile cause can
use no other means than gross frauds

Documents Forged.
MOSCOW, May 2.-The statement
issued by the Communist Information
al several days ago branding as for
geries the documents alleged by
Chang Tso-lin to have been captured
in his unprecedented raids on the
Soviet Union embassy compound fol-
lows:
"The Chinese press appearing in
territory occupied by Chang Tso-lin
publishes many forged documents al
legged to have been seized by police
during the last raid on the Soviet
embassy in Picking.
The Red Herring.
"These materials now reproduced
by the bourgeois press Of all coun-
tries contains the usual denunciations
of the Communist International. All
this news raised by imperialist cir
cles about these fantastic documents
clearly shows why police serving for
eign capitals wanted to raid the
Soviet embassy.
"This act was necessary for the
system Of fraud and for
gerry which British conservatives use
in their anti-Soviet campaign and
purpose, lending credibility to 'docu-
ments' false from beginning to end.
Aiding Imperialist Hangmen.
"These documents given out by the
press controlled by Chang Tso-lin af-
firm that the Communist information
al has been trying to incite' the mass
es against foreigners for the purpose
Of provoking intervention in China.
"Thus nothing more nor less than
assistance to the plans Of the imper-

more, the same instruction recon-
