"The policemen who helped
us this morning were the best

I'VE had a little trouble with
them a few weeks ago over

forgive them all theirs ms for
the marvellous work they did
today. I personally will extend
my congratulations to Police

HEFLIN SOUNDS
BATTLE CRY IN
SENATE AGAIN
Alabama Senator to Make
Fourth Religion Speech
on Floor Today.
.YAWN AT CHALLENGE
Threatens to Quit Party and
to Take Millions Out
With Him.
YAWN AT CHALLENGE

BIZ United Press
WASHINGTON, Jan. 24.-Sen-
ator Hef1in of Alabama announced
today he would make in the Sen
ate this afternoon his fourth anti
Catholic speech since last Wednes-
day
Heflin said he intended to answer
the suggestion of Mayor Gunter of
Montgomery, Ala, that they both
run for the position Of delegate-at-
large to the Democratic convention
on the religious and AL Smith issues.
Party leaders indicated they were
satisfied to let Hef1in continue his
TRADES, content with the rebuke
Senator Robinson, Democratic floor
leader, delivered against him last
week. They will ignore his chal-
lenge, they said.
Yawn at Challenge
In his third set speech violating
the party'S harmony program
worked out at the Jackson day din
ner here, Jan. IL, Heflin late Mon
day informed the Senate that:
IF you rebuke me, I'll quit the
Democratic party and millions will
quit with me-"
Democratic leaders yawned at
the challenge. There we're only five
Democratic Senators in the cham
ber at the time. The rest had
walked out.
Republicans sit in satisfaction
during Heflin's attacks. At times
some of them go over to talk with
him, and occasionally interject
themselves into debate to ask him
questions and encourage him.
Hef1in always commands a crowd.
Last session when he began his at%
tacks little attention was paid to.
him.
Since Robinson saw fit to dignity
his speeches with an answer Heflin
serves notice of his intention to
speak a few days ahead of time, so
that the galleries may be filled for
his utteranceS.
His speech Monday broke gallery
attendance records for the session,
and rules were waived to permit the
socially elite, even wives Of Senators,
to sit on steps in the aiSles.
Alice Roosevelt Longworth gazed
down through her lorgnette. The
packed galleries listened with mix
ture of astonishment at the gigantic,
red-faced Senator in his long black
coat, cream-colored waistcoat and
his black band tie who shook the
Senate rafters with his powerful
voice.
Gets Threatening Letters =
Alabama isn't going for AL
Smith" he said. Neither is any
other Southern State except possibly
Louisiana. He is a Tammanyite,
wringing wet and a Roman Cath
olic. I would vote against him for
all three reasons"
Hef1in charged AL Smith and
Tammany with killing Democratic
chances in 1924.
Hef1in said he had received threat
ening letters and had been warned
by friends that he might be dis
patched or that something might be
put into my food"
1T was all in fun," Heflin said
explaining his remark last week that
if Senator Robinson went to
Alabama to speak he would be tarred
and feathered. "I intended to strike
that remark out, but was tired and
/ overlooked it.
But those little pen pushing
squirrel-heads up there in the press
gallery picked that out of a three
hour speech I made here"

Silk Hated Whalen
Takes Over the Job of
Police Commissioner

Grover Whalen stuck police
badge up beside the gardenia on the
lapel of his faultless morning coat
at noon yesterday and swore to go
in search of criminals in general
and the slayer of Arnold Rothstein,
in particular, telling his friends he
would use discretion if he found any
of them.
He became New York's third po-
lice commissioner in three years.
Joseph Warren resigned because in
handling the case of the gambler
and drug magnate, Arnold Rothstein,
v. as shot to death 43 days ago,
it was necessary to have a scape-
goat to cover up what the whole
world knows now: that Tammany
police and a lot of Riverside Drive
residents were mixed in the 9TH
stein "rackets."
Whalen has been lots of things
during his life, but never a police
man. Most recently he was general
manager of the John Wanamaker
depa. lent store. He also was
chairman of the mayors reception
committee to distinguishes guests.
For the first job he got 100000 a
year; for the latter one he had the
privilege of hanI.ag ro-es to Queen
Marie.
Whalen yesterday accepted the
designations" of all deputy commits
sioners, and ordered the chief in
spector, his deputies, and all other
inspectors to appear before him to-
day.
There is a persistent report that

While Bolivia today cabled Kellogg
acceptance of the mediation offer
of the Monroe Doctrine "concilia-
ton" conference here, this does not
mean that Standard Oil is defeated
in the Chaco oil war, even though
the military offensive is suspended.
Firstly, the case is left in the
hands of Hughes and Kellogg, open
ly agents of American imperialism
and controlling its lackeys of vari-
Gus Latin-American governments
represented here. The function OF
this gang of bandits is now to ter
rorize Paraguay, which has foolishly
left everything in their hands with
out making any reservations, into
yielding most if not all Bolivian de-
mands.
Secondly, the persistent efforts of
Argentina to bring the dispute set
tlement" back to Latin America
from Washington, is defeated.
Thirdly, the League of Nations,
representing largely British imperi-
alism, is kept out of control.
To give the coup d'grace to the
purely Latin-American Gondra Com
mission, which yesterday retired
from the dispute at its session in
Montevideo, the Venezuelan trained
puppet Of Hughes, brought up the
matter of all the Latin-American
governments abandoning the Gondra
accord, signed in Chile in 1923. Fran
cisco Parejo of Venezuela declared

was an error and a backward
step"

Call for Shop Delegate
Conference Tomorrow

The New York local of the Work

has arranged shop delegates con-
ference for tomorrow at p. M, i'm
mediately after work at Bryant Hall,
9Th Ave. and 42nd st. The purpose
of the meeting is to further the
building Of the w. /. R. into mass
organization for workers relief.
The call issued by the conference
states that after the militant strikes
of the past few years-the miners,
Passaic, New Bedford, furriers,
needle trades and other strikes, the
relief committees temporarily organ
lied all disappeared. In the strug
giles ahead to organize the unorgan-
lied into militant unions, to fight
injunctions and company unions,
ETC., relief will be needed in every
instance. The w. I. R., it states,
is an international relief organiza-
tion, the American section of which
must now be firmly established.
This meeting will lay the basis for
such organization in New York City.
