must insure. SO daily he goes over
the court cases that give him a line
on his patron. In other ways, also
he gathers information which will be
useful when he goes before the State
board to defend his right to cancel a

tantamount to suspending the latter's
right to own and operate a car.

Each case of this character, says
Frank A. Goodwin, Bay State regis

significant moral for every motor car
owner in Massachusetts, namely, he
points out, that unless one drives
carefully one cannot drive at all. The
effect, he believes, is one of the most
salutary ever contributed to the cause
of motor safety.
Will Rid Road of Menace.
The result of such thorough record
keeping as it will reach the careless
driver is not difficult to foresee.
Eventually the insurance companies
will have sufficient data to approach
this type of driver with the results of
his carelessness down in black and
white.
At that time it proposes to tell him.

You are not deliberately reckless

Workers Here Raise
Funds, Send Clothes

Reports received yesterday by the
Miners Relief Committee, 799 Broad
way, from the strike areas of Ohio.
Western Pennsylvania and Colorado
depict an indescribable condition cf
hunger and want, especially am7ng
the children according to Fannie
Rudd, secretary.
In Western Pennsylvania the stu
alton is more acute than elsewhere,
she said. In one camp in that district
the strike has been going on since
1925. The need for relief is great
she continued.
Clothing Sent.
The appeal for funds, clothing and
blankets being made in this city by

funds. Among these is the staff OF
the New Masses, which, besides do
mating days pay for relief, will cir
cularize its subscribers in an appeal

Greco-Carrillo Defense Gains

Continued from Page One
to fasten the crime on two anti-fas-
cists. The fascists, working with the
police, were unable to get the real
murderers; they therefore determined
to get victims in order to save their
own prestige"
Alibi Stated.
Hays declared that the defense of
his clients would be simple, basing
it on the physical impossibility of be-
ing in two places at the same time.
Both Greco and GARLIC, Hays said,
were at home part of the day with
friends, on Decoration Day when the
killing of the two fascists took place.
Hays outlined briefly the back
ground of the two clothing workers
who are being threatened with death
in the electric chair. Greco, he re-
lated, was born in Italy, in 1892. He
was first shoemaker, and then a
mechanic. He served five years in
the Italian army during the war and
came to this country in 1920 with his
mother, and later became a tailor.
Arrested Weeks After Murder.
In addressing the jury, Hays point
ed out that Greco and Garlic were
arrested more than six weeks after
the murder took place, and when they
were arrested, it was in a general
dragnet of Italian anti-fascisti. They
were originally held as material wit
nesses. However, when their LAWYERS
proceeded to get a writ of habeas cor
pus in order to release them from Jail,
the district attorney asked the grand
jury to indict Greco and Carrillo on
a charge of murder.
Mussolini Directs Propaganda.
Hays stated that he was prepared
to show how Mussolini, through Count
Di Revel and other agents in the
United States, was actively supervis-
ing fascist propaganda here. While
Greco and Carrillo are not members
OF any anti-fascist organization, they
are, nevertheless, known as opponents
of Mussolini's regime, which they con-
sidered had deprived the Italian peo-
pie of their liberty.
Witnesses Self-Contradictory.
Clarence Darrow, chief of the de-
tense council, closely cross-examined
several witnesses called by the prose
cutlon. Two of these were patrol
men attached to the Bathgate Ave.

station, situated in the precinct where
the murder took place. Both men con-
tradicted themselves a number of
times, and one of them who took
charge of the bodies, admitted that
there were no eye witnesses to the
killing.
Darrow's Objections Sustained.
Judge Albert Coin, who was pre-
siding, sustained barrow on several
occasions, when he objected to the
questioning by the district attorney
of witnesses about the dead fascists'
service in the United States army
during the war, and also to the So
called military funeral which they re-
ceived.
Under Darrow's questioning, the
witnesses admitted that the funeral
was attended largely by fascists who
wore their army uniforms.
mo Mere Murder Case" Says
Defense.
The trial of Calogero Greco and
Donate Carrillo, anti-fascist workers,
on charges of killing two fascists last
Memorial Day, now in progress in the
Bronx County court, is more than a
mere murder trial, according to a
joint statement by the International
Labor Defense and the Greco-Carrillo
Defense Committee last night. The
statement follows:
The fact that Clarence Darrow and
Arthur Garfield Hays have offered
their services as counsel is proof that
there is more involved in this case
than the killing of two fascists.
Sure of InnicOnce
eve are convinced of the innocence
of Greco and GARLIC. Moreover, we
know as matter of fact that the
prosecution against these two inno-
cent workers was instigated by the
Fascist League of North America
with the connivance of some of our
government officials
"The Greco-Carrillo case must not
be allowed to drag on for years as did
the Sacco-Vanzetti case. We have Sc
cured the msot able legal counsel OBJ
tainable so that Greco and Carrillo
will be sure that every effort is being
made to prevent the frame-up against
them from being successful.
