Defend KuSfnGr;
Seek Appeal on
MOSkOWitz Case

Argument by Attorney Joseph r,
Brodsky, representing the two work
ers who were arrested Wednesday for
distributing Hands Off China" leaf
let's, resulted yesterday in having the
plea of Morris Kushner changed to
mot guilty" and his case set over for
hearing until Thursday, May 18th.
Kushner, who was arrested with
Herman Moskowitz, had entered a
technical plea Of guilty" when he
was not represented by counsel. For
this reason, Magistrate We'll, sitting
in the 57th street court, was unwill-
ingly forced to allow a withdrawal of
the first plea and the entrance of a
plea of mot guilty" Bail was fixed
at 500, instead of $500 as the Judge
intimated was his intention.
1t is this same magistrate who yes
terday sentenced Herman Moskowitz
to six monthssin the workhouse on a
charge of disorderly conduct. His of
Tense was the same as Kushner's; dis
tributing leaflets. Attorney Brodsky
has already started to appeal this ex-
IRENE sentence, and to have Mos
kowitz released on bail Immediately.
Brodsky is acting in behalf of the In
ternational Labor Defense in looking
after the cases of these workers.

Policemen Assault
! Workers Who Defy
Fascist Murderer

Uniformed policemen and detec-
tives last night again aided the no
torious fascist propaganda, Fran
cesco de Pinedo, who prostitutes his
ability as an aviator in order to get
a favorable hearing for his apologies
for the bloody regime of Mussolini,
by launching savage assault upon
some 1000 or more anti-fascists who
were demonstrating against the pres
ence of de Pinedo.
The anti-fascisti workers were
marching toward the Victor Emanuel
Post of the Italian Legion at 215 Sec
ond Ave, where de Pinedo was de-
livering one Of his apologies for fac
cism. There was no disorder and the
marchers intended merely to pass
the place in order to prove that the
vast majority Of Italian workers in
this country, as in Italy, are opposed
to fascism.
As the workers marched toward
the hall Patrolman SchoeRfeld and
three other policemen tried to head
them off by assaulting them with
clubs. In a few moments reserves
from three police stations arrived
and began beating the marchers. At
the same time handful of fascist
hoodlums who were listening to the
harrangue Of de Pinedo rushed out
of the hall and mixed in with the
fracas. Since the anti-fascists were
anxious to avoid such a disturbance
as was provoked by the police and
the fascists they withdrew.
Fascist Had Revolver.
A number of the fascists were
armed and flourished weapons. One
of them, Antonio Tumbarelli, was
arrested because he continued to
flourish loaded revolver in a drug
store. The fascist explained Tn 1e
was "self-appointed" defender Of
de Pinedo and that he was armed
in order to protect his leader.
The anti-fascisti workmen who
were interviewed charge that de Pine
do is utilizing his time here to en-
courage the fascist to arm them
selves TO avenge Mussolini against
his political enemies in this country
who criticise his murderous regime.

POYDRAS, La, April 29.-The
Poydras crevasse on the east bank
Of the Mississippi, twelve miles be-
low New Orleans was blasted at 2:17
p. IN. today in supreme at
tempt to break the back of the wall
ley's most devastating flood in his
tory.
Guns and DeadIine.
Virtual martial law prevailed from
day-break today in the territory IN
which the levee line was to be ripped
open with dynamite. State troops
patrolled the highways and fast river
boats with armed guardsmen aboard
maintained a dead line across the
river.
Airplanes flew over the doomed
region to give final warning to scat
tered residents who were either IN
aware that the river was to be turn
cd upon them, or unwilling to leave
their possessions to the yellow tor
rent. Three hundred people were be-
lieved by state officials to be IN the
sacrificed territory at day-break.
Some stragglers still made their
way to New Orleans. A few others
apparently, were preparing to take
their chances on high spots in the
vicinity of their farms and gardens.

has gone into history as the $4,000

New Orleans for the most parr

Beckerman was announced to speak
on the present controversy in the

so much Of any issues at stake or any
