HOOVER FORCED
TO SPEAK ABOUT
FIVE-YEAR PLAN

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, June 49,
In another of his usual lying
speeches about the economic crisis,
Hoover yesterday, speaking before
the Indiana Republican Editorial
Association here, made special at
tack on the Five Year Plan of the
Soviet Union.
He said there had been a lot of
talk about planning" in the United
States, borrowed from the Soviet
Union. In reply, Hoover offered a
ridiculous charicature of "plan,"
which means the continuation of
starvation and misery for the mas
ses under capitalist anarchy. Hoover
said that the capitalists proposed
to continue the progress" of the
past. I'VE plan more leisure for men
and women and better opportunities
for its enjoyment" Hoover told the
100000 unemployed who are now
enjoying leisure" on the breadlines
AT the same time the imperialist
president made a bitter attack
against unemployment insurance He
insisted that the unemployed continue
to starve as the federal government,
controlled by the leading imperial
lists, did not propose to give the mill
lions of iobless any form of relief.
Hoover said all unemployment in
surance schemes should be left to
the capitalist corporations.
In the face of this, Hoover advised
they do away with pessimism and
get behind the system which starves
millions, prepares for new world
wars. and cuts the wages and
standard of living Of those still left

lowing anyone to leave or enter
until the conference took a recess
at which time the delegates were
herded into their trucks and autos
and under police guard were taken
to the park which had already been
rented by local workers organiza-
tons for the use of the hunger mar
cheers when the state refused to pro-
videaccomodations.
Upon the arrival of the nlarchers
and delegates, they we're informed
that they were surrounded by state
troopers and could not leave the
grounds. nor could anyone enter. al
though scoresof local workers tried
to reach the imprisoned delegation.
Local workers organizations sup
piled sufficient food and water. The
delegates organized their own SEN
tries to protect themselves against
any attacks by state troopers who
we're threatening and intimidating
the marchers. On Monday morning
the state conference continued in
the park while delegates were held
under virtual arrest and held dis
cussion on the Frankfeld report, en-
dorsing the Chicago demands which
we're to be presented by the delega-
ton to the State Legislature.
Workers came from all partsof the
state, many coming in contact with
the movement for the first time
during preparations for the hunger
march from such places as Peru,
Lassalls. String Valley. Bloomington.
