brough t forward by the
Graphic" a New York tabloid
sheet interested only in the
sensation it furnished. This
further proof was so convinc-
ing that the likewise sensation
loving Congressman La Guardia
(repubIican) took it up and used it
to belabor, vocally, the quivering
form of the Tammany police admin
istration of New York.
By this evidence, Whalen, the
whale of an administrator" touted
as the Great Wise Guy, is proven
to be liar and a deliberate accom-
plice of the forgers of the "docu-
ments" which he, liar and four

mechanically produced with the
statement that they were "inter-
copied by his undercover agents."
Moreover, even after he was
shown proof that the documents"
were forgeries, he refused to allow
comparison, and until this hour re-
mains silent with criminal intent of
continuing the pretension that the
forged documents" are genuine.
The letterheads on which the "let-
tiers" and a certain mandate" were
typewritten-exposed in their in
ternal content by the Daily Worker
on May 9th as a clumsy forgery,
these letterheads alleged to be those
of the Communist International,
were printed in a small printshoo
and bookstore run by one Max Wag-
ner, at 204 East 10th St, New York
City. Incidentally, the statement OF
Wagner, No. 5, shown in the cut,
not only proves the forgery, but
shows that the white guard who got
Wagner to print them, even cheated
Wagner out of payment for the s.
900 letterheads ordered, being sat
isfied with the proofs he took away
with him which were later photo
graphed by Whalen.
The reason Whalen refuses to let
the originals be seen, is because, be-
ing only proof sheets made in a way
which makes them easily recognized
as proof sheets, the originals would
expose this fact, while photostatic
copy conceals it. This again shows
Whalen's deliberate dishonesty, since
he refuses to allow examination of
the originals on the excuse that "a
criminal investigation being con-
Quoted by the Police Department
into the criminal activities of GER
tain Communist groups in this city
has not been completed" and it was
necessary to Safeguard the evil

EDWARDS
WINNER OF PONY
College Avenue Lad Makes
Best Drawing in Times
and Lyric Contest.

Bob, the Shetland pony from Otto
Gray'S ranch in Oklahoma, has a
new home today as well as a new
master.
The new master is Gordon Ed
wards, 1912 years old, of 2616 College
avenue.
Gordon was awarded the pony by
the three judges in The Times and
the Lyric theater pony coloring con-
test.
1t required hours of work by
Randolph Coates, artist; Henry r.
Behrens. interior decorator, and Lee
Williams, Times artist.
Hundreds of boys and girls went
to the Lyric last week and each re-
ceived sketch of a pony.
When the judges called at the
Edwards home, gordon hardly could
believe that he was the winner.
Gordon and Bob are going to have
a great summer, because Gordon
spends his entire summer vacation
with his grandmother on big farm
in Ohio.
Il always have wanted pony
and now I have one" the boy said,
when told he was the owner of
Bob.
Hundreds of boys and girls will be
disappointed because Bob did not
come to their homes, but they must
remember that it would have taken
several thousand ponies to go round.
But Bob now has a fine home-a
big farm to play in with his master
in the summer.
