.CREAGER HITS
BACK AT IOWAN
Denies Charges Made BY
Brookhart In Speech
To Upper House

DENYING go e Is conducting "a
campaign of coercion" among fed
eral officeholders in Texas. as
charged in a speech by Senator
Brookhart Of Iowa Thursday. r.. b.
Creager. republican national COM
mitteeman. today sent the senator
a telegram refuting his assertions.
The message follows:
Taking refuge in your usual
cowardly manner behind senatorial
immunity you yesterday attacked
me in a speech in the senate. You
said that I am now putting on a
campaign OF coercion among fed
eral officeholders to compel them
to contribute politically and that I
practically warn these ofriceholders
that If they do not contribute
there will be no more offices.
These statements are dehb-
erately and maliciously false. You
have in the records Of your COM
mittee testimony Of the forty-nina
persons holding the forty-nine
rrincinal federal offices in Texas
including al Of the postmasters of
the first class. all United States
marshals, United States attorneys.
collectors of customs. and collec-
tors Of internal revenue. testifving
that no coercion has eve been
brought to bear uDon them directly
or indirectly to compel them 70 con-
tribute to any political fund: fur
thermore that no one az them has
ever heard Of such coercion being
brought to bear uDon any other
federal official in this state. These
ere honorable men and women and
their testimony must be believed.
You heard in person and under
oath thirty off Of the leading citi-
zens Of Texas testify 70 the high
standing and reputation of the re-
publican organization in Texas ana
Of its responsible leaders. All OF
these are men whose names are
known and respected throughout
Texas. They included democrats
and republicans. lawyers. preachers.
doctors. business men. bank presi-
dents. a president Of n college. an
ex-governor. the editor or a lead
n. newspaper.
You had an opportunity to cross
examine these men. Each and all
testify TO the proper. decent and
honorable manner in which aD-
D~ointments to federal office are
handled in Texas. There Is no
sninti'la of evidence in yOur rec
ords TO SUPPORT the charge YOU
make. In March we submitted TO
your committee the financial rec
ordS Of our Dallas statewide head
quarters. These records IN utmost
detail give the names and addresses
OF every person who has contrib
uted any amount whatsoever to-
ward cur headquarters fund during
the last eight wears.
These records show when. how
and for what purpose every cent So
collected was subsequently exuend-
ed. Aside from hearsav u=uallv
twice removed no particle Of ~ci.
dence has been adduced before " W
committee reflecting in the slicrA-
est degree upon the republican or
~ganization of Texas. You have
made assertions without any evil
dence whatsoever to suunort them
but with all OF the evidence To the
contrary. therefore the onlv word
with which to appropriately dc
scribe you is a short and ugly one.

WILLEBRANDT
EXPLAINS NOTE
enforcement BY Harrass-
ment' Not Justified; Wise
Discretion Urged

WASHINGTON, May 2.-iP-
Long established precedent and q
belief that enforcement by harrass-
ment is never justified" are held
out by Mrs. Mabel Walker Willie
brandt. assistant attorney general
in charge OF prohibition prosecu-
tons. as reasons for her letter di-
recting district attorneys TO S "a
wise discretion" in application of the
Jones law.
Her explanation Of the letter was
given to Mrs. Lena Lowe Yost. leg
islative superintendent of the ma
ance union. and is published today
by The Union Signal" its official
weekly organ.
The letter on the application OF
the new Jones amendment followed
the precedent OF the dpartmnt long
established in the administration
of the white slave traffic act she
says. Its purpose Is TO point out
to United States attorneys the i'm
portance of q careful study OF the
evidence prior TO inStitutlng action
and the exercise of a wise discretion
in fitting that evidence into the
particular section Of the law. viola
ton Of which II will best prove III
court. For. although the average
man and woman may be unaware
Of the fact. every lawyer knows that
the prosecutor must weigh evidence
and choose make an election OF
remedis in the legal term that ap-
plis) under what section OF the law
will plead the case.
United States attorneys offices
have in the past used blanks charg-
ing sale just as a misdemeafior.
They can no longer do that. II
the evidence IS inconsequental IN
character so that proof Of more
than illegal possession is doubtful
it Is manifestly unfair to a defen-
dant to attempt 70 prove a felony.
Enforcement by harassment IS never
justified. Moreover, congress has
revealed the intent Of the new
amendment to reach commercial
cases and when commercialism can
be shown by the evidence, 1t is plain
congress intended the prosecutor q
press for the higher penalties Of
the Jones law. with the power OF
deportation OF undesirable aliens
