TEXAS MAYOR
IS UNDER ARREST
Governor Moodys Action Is Re.
suit of Ambush Killing of
Prosecutor.

Berger, Texas-This city Is under
martial law and Mayor Glen A. Pace
Is under arrest on charge of "caus-
ing q state witness in the Charles
Hale murder case to leave town." all
rs an aftermath to the assassination
Of District Attorney John A. Holmes.
Holmes was killed nearly three
weeks ago, from ambush, when he
started to leave the garage at his
home after nightfall. The murder led
to an investigation by state authori-
ties which revealed the existence of
crime domination over the town, in
volving the allied connivance of city
and county officials.
Militiamen, about 100 officers and
men, commanded by Brigadier General
Jacob F. VOTERS, left Fort Worth on
Q special train and were entrained at
Fort Worth and sent to Berger bear
ing notice that Gov. Dan Moody had
placed the city under martial lay, az
ter Texas rangers had investigated the
recent assassination.
Berger, a great sprawlfng oil town
with a two-mile long main street,
grown up in three years from bald
and dreary prairie, was relatively
quiet. Due to the power and influence
exerted by the criminal element Of
Berger, it had been predicted gener-
ally that no arrests would be made in
connection with the Holmes killing
until troops arrived. Two score muir
ders have been committed in the town
In its three years of existence. None
Of the killers has been punished.

Rev. Thomas Will Run

Norman Thomas, who advocates
in the current issue of New Leader
that Marxism be revised because
it is not "up-to-date," was nomin
ated as mayor on the socialist party
ticket at the New York City conven-
ton held at the Rand School Satur-
day and Sunday. Louis Waldman
was mentioned for comptroller, but,
thinking the job too small for him,
declined. Charles Solomon "got the
job" Algy Lee, manager of Rand
School, was nominated as president
of the board of aldermen. Thus, not
a real worker appears on the en-
tire slate. The aldermen will be
nominated by the local branches Of
the party.
The platform, as it was first read,
did not, among other omissions, even
mention the word ''injunctions. "
Only after a hot debate was the
platform committee forced to en-
body a weak platonic phrase on the
issue. The remainder contained the
usual petty-bourgeois reformist
schemes, all of which tend only to
increase the burden on the workers.
TIE workers struggles in Casio
MIA, New York and in the rest OF
the country and the world were en-

was made that England was prepar-

Several closely guarded secrets
will be revealed during the summer,

along "new and radical lines" will
be shown for the first time at an
exhibition in Olympia on July 16, it
is announced. The Air Ministry has
promised that one of the closest
kept secrets of his office, the new
small airplane designed with fold
ing wings to fit into submarine,
will be made public on this occa-
sion.
The Labor Government will con-

that it will soon arrange for the

and the 4101 to Egypt and India.
