CONGRESS ASKED
 ID PROBE CHARGE
Oil Discrimination Allegations
 May Be Checked

Washington, Sept. 30 (P)-A con- gressional airing appeared likely to- day for the charges of favoritism to large oil companies brought against Secretary Wilbur by Ralph s. Kelley in resiging as chief of the field di- vision of the federal land Office in Denver.
 The interior secretary refused to accept Kelleys resignation but an- nounced the latter's suspension from office, and welcomed a full in vestigation. Kelley in New York said last night he did not regard himself any longer an employe of the interior department and restat- cd the charges made in his letter of resignation, which he made public Sunday. {,
 The former land office man added he would be prepared to amplify his charges later and be ready to appear before a congressional com- mittee should the suggestion of Chairman Nye of the senate lands committee for an investigation be approved. The latter termed the charges amazing and said: Kelley will have to be heard in congress"
 Wilbur Defends Policy
 Secretary Wilbur made a vigor- ous defense of his oil land policy and said he had directed Kelley to file immediately the names of com panies he claimed had been favored, with specific details of each case.
 The charges hinged on the dis posal of public lands in Colorado which Kelley asserted contained pe- troleum deposits in the form of oil shale which even at present low prices would exceed forty billion dollars in value. He asserted that through political pressure on the of flee of the interior secretary the large oil companies had received favorable consideration for illegal claims to some of these lands.
 Wilbur said no leases for oil shale hsd been issued under his admins tration& &nd further that action had been brought to forfeit all claims to such lands on which the required assessment work of s100 a year had not been done. Something more than 3,000,000 acres of such lands in Colorado, Utah and Wyoming, he said, had been covered by claims filed prior to 1920, the majority of these being held in the name of Individuals or associations of in- dividuals, made up largely of local people in the immediate vicinity"
 Whether any of these had passed into the hands of the larger oil concerns after patent, he said, was not known to the department and was beyond it's control.
 In Office For 25 Years
 Kelley had been connected with the land office for 25 years, holding various posts at Salt Lake City and Denver. His resignation, Wilbur said, occasioned surprise because the official had been ordered early in July to come to Washington to take charge Of the very work he criti- cized. The secretary said Kelley never had reported to him for this assignment but had worked in the land office here for about a month after August 5. during Wilbur's ab- sence.
 Commenting on Wilbur's state ment Kelley said much of it was correct but, that a great deal of it requires clarifcation."

Royal Family Returns
 From Scotch Vacation

London, Sept. 30 Pl-King George, Queen Mary and Prince George re- turned today to Buckingham palace, London, after an all-night journey from Balmoral castle, Scotland. The king seemed in excellent health and evidently had benefited from his so- journ in the highlands.
 The arrival of the monarchs marked the official opening of Lon don's autumn season. This season will be notable for the number of banquets and receptions in connec- tion with the imperial conference which is to be opened officially to- morrow by Premier MacDonald.

Jail 4 For Resisting

The daily fight on the picket line
at Miller's Market, 161st St. and

place where they killed Steve Ka-
tovis still being picketed. 1t will
still be picketed, says the Food

victory is won.
Monday two pickets were arrested,
and yesterday two more. Instead of
using the fake injunction and Para
graph 800, Miller and the scabs
and gangsters from the United He
brew Trades, resorted to provoca-
ton and frame-up. They came out
and attacked the pickets, who fought
back, though outnumbered six to
one. Then the police stepped in and
arrested the pickets. They are held
on $500 bail, charged with disorderly
conduct.

workers, the workers control and
now are proceeding to the complete
appropriation of the rich peasants
the kulaks-the last remnants of
capitalism in the Soviet Union.
These big peasants are the uphold
ers of the church, the supporters of
ignorance in the Soviet Union. The
imperialists all over the world sup
port these kulaks, as their last re-
serve in the Soviet Union.
"The workers will not be deceived
by the lies and ISLANDERS Of the i'm
perialists who are drawing into the
battle line the blacklist forces of
history--the church. The workers
know the history of the church
through the centuries. The work.
ers know the role Of the church in
their daily struggle, in its lining
up with the capitalists against the
workers.
"The workers will take up the
struggle against the imperialists
and all their allies--and their last
line fighters, the church. The work
ers will not be led into the coming
slaughter with blind eyes. They
will heed the call of the Communist
Party and will line up with the So
Wet Union against the imperialist
powers and their allies, the social
fascist socialists, the reactionary
American Federation of Labor, the
renegades from the Communist
Party and the church.
"The circle Is complete--the lines
are drawn. The mask Of piety and
peace is thrown off. The workers
witness the church arming for at
tempted destruction Of the Workers
Fatherland, the Soviet Union.
"The Communist Party will mob
ilize the workers of this country
against the coming armed attack on
the Soviet Union. The Communist
Party will unmask the vile schemes
of the imperialist powers bent on
breaking down the Soviet Union.
"The misery Of the workers in
the capitalist United States against
the growing prosperity Of the work
ers in the Soviet Union places upon
the workers Of this country one
task: Defense Of the Soviet Union
against oil its enemies, as the hope
of the workers oil over the world!
