DOLLAR PATRIOTS
DINNER A FIzzLE;.
NO MONEY RAISED
American Citizens in
Scrap at Affair
BY CARL HAESSLER.
Federated Press).


CHICAGO.-An admiral dubbed a
mobocrat, rabbi branded a dema-
cog of poor taste, and miscellaneous
epithets of Bolshevist, fool, Teapot
Dome, pacifist, scandal, and disloyal-
ty are the principal fruits Of Wash
ington birthday dinner that was in
tended to initiate a $2,OO0,OOO drive
for political blacklist purposes.
Cash Desired.
The dinner was given by the Amer
lean Citizenship Foundation in Chi
cago, Feb. %, as belated effort for
cash that has been distressingly slow
in materializing. In fact the cash is
many months overdue. The organiza-
ton, which ostensibly encourages
good citizenship, but is actually
militarist shopping outfit, had an
nounced a victory dinner for Dec. ii
last year, at which the corraling of
the $2,OO0,O00 was to have been cele-
brated. That day came, but neither
the dinner nor the cash.
Admiral Snarls.
And on Washington's birthday
there was another fluke. A number
of good people, taken in by the foun-
dation's false front, had accepted in
vitations to hear the old navy auto
crat, Admiral VIM. A. Moffett.
The admiral, possibly under the in
fluence of patriotic toasts, threw off
the lambs wool and revealed himself
as a ripsnorting sea-wolf barring his
fangs at pastors, pacifists, liberals
and their like. Rabbi Louis l. Mann,
one of the good people, got angry at
The fraud prac+ised on him by the
foundation and let loose with rea.
rulpit thunder.
The dinner became interesting to
guests, but the slick promoters of the
foundation felt as though they had
swallowed barrel of tabasco sauce.
They saw their 100000 dwindling
to non-union barbershop tip. So
the Chicago Tribune trotted over to
their rescue a few days later and Rab-
bi Mann is now branded editorially
with the scarlet mark Of clerical
demagogy."
Is He Mad?
The Federated Press last Decem-
Der exposed the American Citizenship
Foundation as the organizer OF a
blacklist directed against labor, lib
eral and pacifist personalities, spying
on their movements. preventing their
sible and filling the land with hatreds
in the name of patriotism. In. the
February issue of The American Citi-
zen, the foundations publication,
President George Edmund Foss of the
organization writes:
Someone has said that the Amer
lean citizen is a great man if you
can only get him mad enough. Isn't
there enough to be mad at?".
Lots of Hatreds.
Among those blacklisted, as re-
vealed by inspection Of the founda-
TONS private files, are Jane Adams,
II. L. Mencken, Mary Mcdowell, Vic
tor l.. Berger, Robert Minor, Scott
Nearing, Norman Hapgood, 0. G.
Willard, The Federated Press, the So
cialist Party, Workers Party, Farm

Voters and the American Association

SACCO -VANzETTI
TRIAL METHODS
Felix Frankfurter in
Lengthy Analysis

BOSTON-(FP) .-Sacco \ and Van
zetti get important aid in their fight
for freedom in most careful %
page analysis of their remarkable
case by Felix Frankfurter, professor
at Harvard Law School. Frankfurter
publishes his study in the March At
iantic Monthly, old conservative pub
LEGATION.
Case Still Open.
Particular value comes from Frank
furter's statements at this time, be-
cause the case is still before the
Massachusetts supreme court. De-
cision is awaited on a second appeal
from trial Judge Webster Thayer's
denial Of motions for new trial.
Thayer's conduct Of the original
trial and his later ruling against new
trial are strongly attacked. Thayer's
last opinion is called "a farrago OF
lnisouotations, Misrepresentation,
suppressions, and mutilations.. The
opinion is literally honeycombed with
dcmonstrable errors, and a spirit
alien to judicial utterance permeates
the whole"
Scores Court.
Frankfurter does not spare the su-
preme court for it's upholding Of
Thayer and his decisions on the first
appeal. He shows the inconsistency
Of the crime Of which Sacco and Van
zetti were convicted in 1921 with
their previous lives as a skilled shoe
worker and fish peddler. He links
up their radical views with the red
raid period of their arrest.
The law expert tells briefly the
case built up by the defense against
the Morelli gang of Providence as
the real payroll robbers and murder
crs. The unsolicited confession of a
criminal, Celestino Madeiros, who
risked his own safety by his act,
gave the lead to defense attorney
William G. Thompson
Laws Imperfect.
Frankfurter was one of five men,
bers appointed by the Massachusetts
legislature as a commission to work
out a prospective revision of the
Bay State legal code. Such ancient
laws as that against blasphenly and
other blue laws still stand, as the
Bimba case brought out over yeal
ago. The cco-Vanzetti case has
made clear other deficiencies, chiefly
that the supreme court cannot judge
on evidence but only on points Of
law.
