TROTSKY PREDICTS
RUSSIAN FASC|SM
Secret Letter Says Soviet Is
Heading Toward Napo-
Ieonic Regime.
BY PAUL SCOTT MOwRER.

BY Gables to The Star and Chicago Daily
News. Copyright, 1929.
PARIS. February 1.-The films of
the october revolution are running
backward. Soviet Russia, under Joseph
Stain. is heading straight toward a
Fascist government based on a new
rural Bourgeoisie, under some Russian
Napoleon. =
Such are the startling accusations and
predictions made by Leon Trotsky in
the famous secret letter to his parti-
sans. which has just caused his exile
to Turkey by the Stain regime. A copy
of this letter has just reached Paris
and been made available to his CORE
spondent.
The letter insists that all true COM
munists must agitate for the establish
ment of the secret ballot in party cleo
tons, and says:
This demand aS q question of life or
DEATH" 1t insists further that workers
wages, which are .ridiculously low, must
be raised straight away or the workers
must strike. It says: when all other
means of struggle are exhausted. it is
the duty of feminist bolshevists to
strike" This time. according to Trot-
sky, has now come.
AS for Stains opportunistic and de-
vious policy in the face of the present
grave economic difficulties, 1t is analysed
in relentless terms by Trotsky. Stains
immediate aim. declares Trotsky, is to
muddle through without making con-
cessions either to the Right or the Left.
If the situation nevertheless gets worse
he will compromise with the Kulaks, as
the Right urges, but at the same time
will deny he is doing so and will de-
prive the Right of any credit therefor
In the event this fails, he will effect a
rapprochement with such Left leaders
as Kameneff and Zinovieff and try
strong measures" against the new ru-
raj bourgeoisie.

Gov. Long for his refusal to spare her
life.
DR.. Dreher declared In his cell today
that James Beadle, the trapper, serv-
ing life in the State Penitentiary for
his part in the crime, did the actual
killing and the slashing of LIE Bouefs
body.
The doomed pair awoke this morning
after a fitful, drug-niduced sleep and
stared blnakly out through the bars at
the cold world. A colored nurse sat in
the cell throughout the night with Mrs.

watch stood vigil outside the cells of
each.

more comment on the streets than the
executions.
Mrs. LeBouef was given Holy Com
munion early today by Father Rosseau:
She then drank . cup of coffee and
was reported calner and more collected
than at any time since her sentence.
Dr. Dreher received the Rev. Nc
Cormack, pastor of the Franklin
Methodist Church. He also was quiet
and calm and prepared for the in

Defense attorneys then gave UP hope.
but the four children Of Mrs. LeBouef
carried on the fight. They went to
Baton Rouge last night to see Gov.
Long in the hope they could persuade
him TO commute the sentences. Their
quest was in vain.
Her four children visited Mrs. Le-
Bouef yesterday afternoon, and DR..
Dreher was visited by his wife and two
daughters.
When Sheriff Pecot told DR.. Dreher
he would have to hang, the physician
replied that he was at peace with God. +"
The murder was committed on the
night Of July /, 1927, exactly 10 months
ago. LeBouef, superintendent Of the
Morgan City branch Of the Louisiana
Public Utilities Co., was shot while boat
riding on Lake Palourde, near his Nor
gan City home.
Mrs. LeBouef, Dr.. Dreher and James
Beadle, Morgan City trapper. were ar
rested and tried for the murder. ALI
three were found guilty in August, 1927.
The jury recommended mercy for
Beadle, which automatically gave him
life imprisonment. The State contended
at the trial that the woman and the
physician killed LeBouef 50 he could
not interfere with their love affair.
LeBouef had been shot twice with
a shotgun.

Examined by Representative Free

the commission did not call for q finan-

added that he felt It was inconsistent
for the company to raise all of the

Lafount said the Universal Co. was
the only one to apply for permission

HOOVER JUB|[ANT
OVER FISH CATCH
President Elect Leaves Early
Today to Seek Further
Angling Conquests.
BY RUSSELL YOUNG.


LONG KEY. Fla, February Catch
ing sailfish is like eating peanuts or
bananas. After the first taste one always
wants more and more. At least this
seems to be the effect of landing this
big. game, beautifully colored fish Of the
Gulf Stream on all the amateur anglers,
and President-elect Hoover made it very
plain this morning when he went again
to the fishing grounds off these keys
that he is no different from the others.
He was happy when he returned to
his houseboat last night and displayed
his first sailfish. Mr.. Hoover had him.
self photographed standing beside his
prize. N--''s
Hoover Jubilant Over Catch.
Mr.. Hoover. who is not given to dis
playing any great amount of enthusi-
asm or emotion, was a revela-
ton. If friends in Washington could
have heard him last night and seen his
expression when he set out again today
they would hardly have believed 1t was
the same retiring and reticent public
figure they had known.
His catch of yesterday weighed less
than As pounds and was not quite six
feet in length, but 1t was sailtish just
| the same.
During the evening, as Mr.. Hoover
and members of his party sat about
| the deck of their houseboat, fish and
| fishing were the principal topics of
| conversation.
Gets Early Start Today.
So eager was Mr.. Hoover for another
| fling at sailfish that he was on bis
| way to the fishing grounds by 8 o'clock
this morning. With him were former
Gov. Goodrich of Indiana and Verne
Marshall. newspaper publisher of Cedar
| Rapids, Iowa.
Mr.. Hoover has indicated that he
and his party will head back for Eelle
Isle, Miami Beach, tomorrow night. He
| intends to return here probably Tues
day or Wednesday.
/ While Mr.. Hoover was fishing of the
| keys yesterday DR.. Hubert Work, chair
man of the Republican national COM
mittee, and Lawrence Richey, Mr.. Hoo
ver's personal representative on his
| Florida vacation. went fishing them
selves and returned with several SAIL
fish.
Senator Reed Smoot of Utah, chair
man of the finance committee, Is ex-
pected at Belle Island over Sunday and
| Monday. 1t is understood he and Mr..
| Hoover will discuss the legislative out
| look for the special session. especially
| the framing of tariff revision< bill.

ership in the movement now being
planned and organized to recreate the

CITY SPENDING
is CHECKED TO
LAST RED CENT
Board of Accounts Men
Spend Entire Time in
Money Tracing

The task of tracing each penny
paid into aid out of city funds is
held by two men, neither Of whom
are city employees.
State board of accounts examiners,
James Smith and Tracy Whitaker,
spend day after cay at the city hall,
checking the financial entries and
expenditures during the process of
auditing the city's books.
Each financial item is followed
from its first appearance on the
city's ledger until it finally disap-
pears into other monetary channels.
During a year, Smith and Whit
2ker check an average of 100000
vouchers for various city depart
ments.
TT is our duty to check receipts
even to each individual dog, milk
and merry go-round license fee. We
are required to approve the validity
OF each expenditure" Smith said.
The entire administration unfolds
before the examiners. Departmental
employees constantly go to them for
opinions on validity of proposed ex-
penditures, making it necessary for
them to be experts in law.
In addition to the financial
routine, Smith and Whitaker have
become heirs to the job of showing
new city officials the why's and
wherefores" of municipal financial
routine.
After twenty years, though, It
gets to be matter of routine, -
Smith said. You work over figures
all day and forget about them
home at nights. Sometimes the
work Is dull, but generally there's
a laugh or two in it,"
Whitaker still is checking trans
actions of 1927 while Smith is work
ing on 1928 receipts.
Smith had been with the state
board since 1910 and has been at
city hall continuously since 1924.
Whitaker Joined the department in
1912.
