War Department
Mathematics

The other day, when the Air Fleet was flut-
tering around over New England, the N. Y.
Times of May 25 told how indignant Assistant
Secretary of War Dawson was, because, so we
were told:
Communist organizations were spreading the
report that the Army Air Corps maneuvers
were adding some 100000 to the burden of the
taxpayer"
Dawson thought it necessary to try to con-
tradict such report and managed to do it
after fashion customary to sophists-by appa-
rently upsetting the laws of mathematics which
ordinarily hold that fraction is part of the
whole. 1t may be true for mathematician, but
not for Assistant Secretaries of War; Dawson
disposed of such an argument by saying
"The answer is that it is a contemplate lie.
These maneuvers, which are part of the regu-
lar annual army exercises, are not costing an
additional nickel"
They never had them BEFORE; but they are
regular hardy ANNALS They cost nothing "addi-
tionaT-therefore they cost nothing at all! The
cost of the air maneuvers are merely part Of
the cost of the imperialist war machine so the
maneuvers didn't cost nickel! Such is the
reasoning" we are given on page one of the
New York Times. On the editorial page, howl
CNeI, ~ SeeUS 10 DC llQlCdU6Q UlaU the expense
was real and not imaginary. 1t says:
"Never before has division of the Army Air
Corps engaged in maneuvers. The people, who
are taxed to maintain it, have an opportunity to
judge of the success. 1t is of great i'm
portance that they should behold a spectacle
proving the defensive and offensive power of the
air branch. With the simplest understanding
1T must be clear that money spent on it :.
will not be wasted"
No, dear reader, 1t is not that the New York
Times was publishing Communist reports" and,
incidentally spreading Contemplate lie" 1t
only happened that liars got their wires crossed.
Dawson was trying to put over the lie that the
air maneuvers cost nothing, because starving
unemployed had to be deceived, and the Times
was trying to show that what it cost was well
spent from an imperialist point of view. There
was merely lack of what the talkies call syn
chronization.

RAZOR HAMMER
MURDER Laid

FRIEND is PLOT VICTIM
Police Charge. Killing Was
Done to Get Insurance
Money for Pair.
By United Press

By United Press
WESTFIELD, Mass, May GA
mild-mannered, cultured, and re-
spected church organist stood
charged today with what police de-
scribed as a cold-blooded murder in
which a razor. a hammer, and an
automobile were used in dealing
death to q friend.
Behind the crime, police alleged,
was a plot between the organisJ
and an insurance agent to collect
and divide about 81 500, which would
have been realized through a dou-
bic indemnity insurance policy on
the victim.
Lucien Ochocki, Is, candy dealer
and organist at an Easthampton
Polish church, has pleaded not
guilty to murder charge, and Ro-
man Fulta, IS, Easthampton insur-
ance agent, has made a like plea to
a charge Of being an accessory be-
fore the fact to the death of Mi
chael Krol. Ocaocki's roommate.
Lives for Twenty-four Hours
Though suffering from mortal
injuries said by police to have been
inflicted with three different wea-
pons, Krol lived nearly twenty-four
hours after being found unconscious
by lonely roadster in wooded
district.
Police claim that under question
ing Ochocki recounted a story Of
how Krol met death at his hands.
According to police, the crime was
carried out with amazing delibera-
ton, two separate attacks being
made upon the victim twelve hours
apart.
They said Ochocki took his friend
for an automobile ride last Friday
night. While they were in an iso-
lated section, the organist suddenly
turned upon his companion and
struck him eight times on the head
with hammer, police said.
Returns to Make Certain
Krol, unconscious, then was
hurled from the car. Authorities
said Ochocki, fearful thai he might
not have killed his friend, then
backed his automobile away and
ran over the PROSTATE form. He
then hid the victim in some under
brush, police said.
Ochocki then went home, accord
ing to police, but finally decided
that Krol might recover, and next
morning returned to the scene and
slashed Krols throat and wrists
with razor. The victim was found
few hours later.
Investigators said F'ulta had sold
Ochicko a $728 insurance policy on
Krols life and that the value of
it, with double indemnity re-
allied from it was to have been
divided between the organist and
the insurance agent.
