The police indicated their belief that
Forsythe was one Of three men who shot
and killed Big Tim" Murphy in front
of his home two years ago. They also
said Forsythe was involved in the Slay-
ing Of John Hand, one of the other two
responsible for the Murphy murder.
FUrsythe Hand and Frank Noonan, the

said, gave themselves up shortly after
the Murphy killing. Police held them
a short time and then freed them, say

is to make everybody the goat and
load all the blame on him.
The occasion for the Mayors trick
outburst was a meeting of 100 Tam

bout and chicken feast at the Hotel
La Fayette in order to celebrate the
completion Of the new Sixth Avenue
extension. They should celebrate.

left to build inches Of subway after

The Daily Worker beginning Mon
day will rip up Tammany in the
sharpest series of exposures ever
published.
Mayor Walker said he would fight
graft to finish "if it was pointed
out to him" Beginning Monday the
Daily Worker will point out how
Walker himself is lassooing millions
in graft; how fortunes were stolen
in taxi legislation: how the Catholic
church cuts in on the murder-made
Doodle; why the killers of Rothstein
are kept secret; how judgeships are
sold over the counter.
Walker blundered into waving his
hand in front of a mirror. He
showed his real fears over the com
ing exposures in the Daily Worker
when he said:
eff there is one rotten official, or
1000, let's get rid of them, so that
we can regain the confidence of the
people and re-establish the fair name
Of the city"
Walker fears the rising anger of
the workers will smash all three de-
tenders of the rotten system, Demo
Gratis, Republicans and Socialists.
He says:
Confidence in public officials has
been attacked, and in some places
completely destroyed.
II have a great sympathy for our
sister city of Chicago, which attained
such notoriety that people we're
afraid to go there and buy and bust
ness consequently suffered"

LEWES, BROWN
ADMIT GUILT IN
ASSAULT CASE

MOSCOW Q.P.CD.-In the course
of the proceedings against the
American workers, Lewes and Rob-
inson, charged with ill-treating the
Negro worker, Robinson, at the
Stalingrad factor Works, the guilt
of the defendants was clearly
proved by the evidence of the wit
nesses. The public prosecutor EN-
phasized the political Importance of
the trial as follows: "This was not
simply a scuffle between two work
men, as many of the witnesses on
Lewes' side have endeavored to rep
resent it. In the United States i'll
treatment Of Negroes is not re-
garded as crime by civil law.
There it is not punished. Lewes
and Brown wanted to transfer fas-
ciSt customs to the soil of the Sow
let Union. For Lewes and Brown
there is no room in the Soviet
Union" The public prosecutor pro-
posed the Immediate expulsi n of
the defendants from the Soviet
Union. Severe punishment for the
guilty men wa, demanded by the
representatives of the Miners
Union, the Metal Workers Mon,
etc.
"The defendants were given the
opportunity of acknowledging their
guilt" declared the representatives
of the trade unions. "If they had
done so they would have wiped out
their guilt to certain extent. But
they have failed to do so. Lewes
has withdrawn his declaration of
penitence, thereby showing that he
committed his brutal action DELHI

they know the conditions these men,
bers have to live up to, they know
that the standard is high. They also
know that if any member cannot
live up to all these high require
ments, then out he goes. Everyone
sees in the Party a serious group
of men ami women who do not
spare themselves in the attempt to
better the conditions of the workers.
Everybody also sees results. The
workers read the discussions that
are forever taking place in the Par
ty circles, all with one aim in view,
to further improve the workers con-
ditions and the standard of living.
The workers therefore have faith in
the Party and it's members. They
therefore accept the Party's leader
ship, its program and politics, its
suggestions and candidates. The
Party on the other hand, listens to
the opinion of the workers, studies
their needs and adopts it's policy
accordingly. This is not theory, one
sees it right here in everyday life.

the several boroughs. Clubs will
be formed to develop and assem-
BILE talent for the purpose of
mass performance. Training for
fife, bugle and drum corps will
