Mrs. Willebrandt holds place of prom

ton in Washington: she is an Assistant
Attorney General of the United States
BY silence after such speech the only
inference one can draw is that the ad-
miniStration approves such political tao
tics. Mrs. Willebrandt is not an ire
sponsible person. She was chairman OF
the committee on credentials in the Re-
publican national convention at Kansas
City.
What would the effect be upon these
same people if a prominent official OF
the government of the State of New
York under me suggested to a gather
ing of the pastors of my church that
they do for me what Mrs. Willebrandt
suggested be done for Hoover? It needs
no words of mine to impress that upon
your minds. 1t is dishonest campaign
ing. It is un-American. 1t is out OF
line with the whole tradition and his
tory of this Government, and. to my
way of thinking, is in itself sufficient to
hold us up to the scorn of the thinking
people of other nations.

Soviet Union Protests
New Murder Plot

WARSAW, May 8.-The relations
between Poland and the Soviet Unicn
which have been strained as the re-
suit of recent attempts to assasinare
the Soviet Union Minister Bogomulov
and the Soviet trade representative
Lizarev were further aggravated TO-
day when Polish border guards al
tackled a detachment of U. s. S. r,
border police near Dolhino.
The clash followed protest from
the Soviet Union against the prutec-
ton which the Pilsudsh government
has afforded to monarchist Russian
groups within Poland. The Soviet
Unions note was handed to Foreign
Minister Zaleski on Sunday in connec-
ton with the recent white guardist
attempt to murder Lizarev.

Altho no details of the clash have
been received here except that two
number of Soviet Union guards
wounded, the fight is believed to have
resulted from the attempt of a white
Russian raiding party to cross the
border. The Polish police, it has been
openly charged, have aided Russian
monarchist groups in their raids in
U. S. S. r. territory.
In addition to demanding the dis
solution Of white Russian raiding
parties which use Polish territory as
their base, the Soviet Unions note

Voikoff, Soviet Union minister to Po-
land last year. The U. S. S. R. note

but actually encouraged their organi-

The Polish attack on the U. S. S. r.

it could no longer shield him is be-

Twelve open air mass meetings at

Resolutions condemning the Tam

Republican controlled state legisla-
ture which have cooperated in putting
over the threatened fare steal for
the traction companies were passed
with the greatest acclaim at these
meetings. The resolutions called up
on the workers and straphangers to

Fight The Fare Steal" was the slo-
ran which resounded at every meet
ing.

The Interborough Rapid Trans
it Company in the meantime made
formal application for the seven-cent
fare in the form of an order served
on the city and Transit Commission
Just what action the city officials
viii pretend to take has not yet
been made public owing to the sham
battle now being staged between
Mayor ("Traction'') Jimmie Walker
and Aldermanic President Mckee whc
has criticized the method of conduct
ing the flight to save the five cent
fare.
Into the already complicated stsw.
tion was injected another element in
the form of an announcement of the
expected resignation Of John F. Gil
christ, chairman of the State Transit
Commission and first hand man of AL
Smith. 1t is not yet clear what re-
lation this move bears to the situa-
ton which Tammany Hall has been
engineering but it is certain that the
resignation of Gilchrist does not come
as a mere coincidence at this time.
