STRATON AGAIN
TRIES TO STOP
ATHEIST JIBES
Was Asked to Abandon
New Testament

There are some things even judges
of capitalist coc4ts cannot tolerate
from the other apologists of capital
ism. One of them is the Rev. John
Roach Straton. notorious fundamen-
talist pastor of the Calvary Baptist
Church and apostle Of ignorance and
superstition.
Having trimmed his long hair that
he wore for so long, probably in an
attempt to resemble as nearly as pos
sible the Sunday school pictures of
Jesus Christ, the eminent bible
thumper appeared before Magistrate
McKiniry in the West Side Court Sat
urday and tried to press a complaint
against Charles Smith, president of
the American Association for the Ad-
vancement Of Atheism.
Resented "Sex" Magazine.
The eminent divine declared that
Mr. Smith had mailed him maya
zine called "Sex" recommending it as
substitute for the New Testament,
This shocked his sensibilities.
Magistrate McKiniry refused to
hear the Straton complaint because
the Saturday routine is concerned
only with police cases.
When Straton learned that the
magistrate would not hear his COM
PLANT he arose from his OBJ
viously uncomfortable seat among
DRINKS and Migrants, and strobe in
side the rail to a point between Leon
ard SnitlSin, counsel for Smith, and
the amusing John S. Sumner, chief of
the Society for the Suppression of
Vice who was there in behalf of Stra-
ton. Fixing his ministerial, if some
what bleary eye upon the magistrate,
Straton waited for recognition Of his
austere presence. But he was ignored
as the court proceeded to examine a
battered individual with black eye
and broken nose. So the Calvary
Baptist pastor reiterated again to his
seat among the down-and-outs.
Besides the irrepressible Mr.. Sum-
ner, Straton also had his assistant
pastor with him as well as his son
who is serving his apprenticeship to
god in Philadelphia spook shop.
The magistrate informed Straton
that he would have to take his case
back to Magistrate Maurice Gottleib
who told him short time ago, to
practice the charity of forgiveness
1 have heard you preach in your
church more than once"
Would EnIighten Straton.
Mr.. Smith of the "Four AS" stated
that he hoped to win Straton away
from the ideas of sex as taught in
the New Testament.
The next hearing is set for June
81, when Straton will try, for the
sixth time, to punish Smith for ask
ing him to read and think. That may
quite probably be construed as an in
suit to any fundamentals.

Courts Cling to
italian Worker As
US. Tries Frame-up

After serving two-thi of-his SEN
tence before he was sel,s1 Aced, Mario
Benci, Italian radical 81 ct, was set
at liberty yesterday, ha lg complet-
ed his 60 day term in prison on a
charge Of technical violation Of the
Sullivan Act.
Behind Benci's detention lies a dra-
matte story of the use of every pos
sible legal weapon on the part of the
courts to keep him in custody while
the United States Department of La
Dor could take steps for his deporta-
ton.
Benci was arrested on the night of
April 10 while putting some Sacco-
Vanzetti "stickers" on a store win
dow, and charged with disorderly con-
duct. 1t was brought out that when
he was searched at the police sta
ton, a book purporting to deal with
the construction Of bombs, and some
pamphlets alleged to be seditious
were found. The magistrate held him
in $4,000 bonds until the following
Thursday. Then he was fined So and
costs and Immediately .rearrested
without warrant on a charge Of vio-
lating the Sullivan Act. The police
had searched his apartment and found
a pistol i'll bed which had been slept
in while Benci was still in the
Tombs. Trial was postponed until
April 20, the court meantime urging
the case upon the Department of La
Dor for consideration.
The American Civil Liberties Union
was appealed to and represented Ben
ci in the entanglements that followed.
Denies Possession of Gun.
Though Benci denied all knowledge
of the pistol, he was found guilty Of
violating the Sullivan Act. Again
sentence was postponed, this time I'M
til April 20, when sentence was sus-
pended and the court issued instruc-
lions to arrange for Benci's deporta.
ton.
At a hearing on May 13 an in
spector from the Department. of La
Dor assured the court that there was
no case for deportation; that Benci
had lived his probationary three years
as a peaceful citizen; thatfthe bundle
Of so-called seditious literature was
really a miscellaneous collection Of
pamphlets; and that the government
found no reason to take action.

eve are already receiving tentative
orders from Moscow that would or
dinarily go to England. The next few
months will give an indication of the
extent of such diversions. In this con-
nection it is interesting to note that
during May Amtorg placed the great
est number of orders in the United
States during any month since its or
ganization three years ago. These or
ders amounted to $500, 900. This in
crease was not influenced by events
in England. 1t is also interesting to
note that purchases of American cot

No Change of Plan.
81 am in a position to state au-
thoritatively that the break with Eng
land will have no effect on the eco
nomic plans for the current year In
the Soviet Union. Orders to be placed
abroad for industrial expansion will
suffer no curtailment. The financial
position of the Soviet Union in con-
nection with commitments and trade
IS well taken care of.
'In accordance With the plans for
industrial expansion in the Soviet
Union for the coming year, we may
expect considerable increase in i'm
ports and orders abroad. There is
every indication that these plans for
enlarged foreign trade viii be fully
carried out. There is also every in
dication that the break with England
will facilitate the effort being made
by Soviet Union industrialists to
trade directly with American firms,
through the authorized trading COM
panies here, eliminating the European
middle-man, and to enter into closer
relations with the American technical
world.
ITO sum up: The secure position in
connection with Soviet trade plans for
this year, the industrial program for
the coming year, the recent increase
in orders placed here and the cur
tailment of trade with Britain, all
these show the direction to be taken
by Soviet Union trade with the
United States"
