ACTION OF CHURCHES
SCORED BY THOMAS
Socialist Candidate Says They Have
Given Too Many Hostages
to Capitalism.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
LOS ANGELES. october 11-Saying
the world is being crucifled for 1.-The
god Of profits and the moloeh OF ma
tionalism," Norman Thomas, former
minister. now Socialist candidate for
President. told the ntsrdenominational
Ministers Association today the church
has given too many hostages to cap
italism to take the side Of right in a
social question"
He said the social system in this
country is illogical and that only a
peaceful revolution with independent
political action" could avoid the 'hor-
rors of violsnce and bloodshed.'
The church sits idly by said
Thomas. ''and watches the capitalistic
system negate every ideal Of the Chris
tian religion.
We have instead Of the Christian
religion religion of nationalism, allied
with capitalism. ="
The church has never bsen on the
side of right in a major incident.
1T Is true that the Protestant
churches contributed largely to the tex
tile strike in New York-but then they
had no members who were in the cloak
and suit business.
You have given too many hostages
to capitalism. Give up some Of your
many boards of so-called social welfare
workers
IF necessary form a union and atil-
late with the American Federation OF
Labor. You might do labor some good.

SCOTTSBORO CASE
RULING AWAITED
Arguments Before Supreme
Court Comp|eted-Decision
Expected Today.
BY the Associated Press.

by the Associated fTtss.
Upon a Supreme Court decision to-
day hinged execution of the death
penalties imposed on seven colored men
for assaults on two white girls near
Scottsboro. Ala.
When the nine justices might reach
this decision was indefinite. Both sides
closed their arguments late yesterday
before crowded courtroom. as police
took extra precautions outside the
Capitol for a possible demonstration.
Walter Poliak of New York, counsel
for the condemned men, told tn.
highest court they were not given
fair trial" Attorney General Thomas
E. Knight of Alabama, replied they
were"
To support his contention, Pollak
stressed three main points: That the
men had been denied counsel until
brought to trial; that the public mind
was inf1amed; that there had been
racial discrimination in that no quail
fed colored person had been permitted
to serve as juror
Knight argued the men had received
a fair trial and contradicted all the
major points advanced by Pollak He
said newspapers of the vicinity had
urged citizens to preserve order, that
defense counsel were appointed week
before the trial and that Alabama
courts should not be criticized for the
strategy of defense counsel who acted
within their rights in not challenging
trial juries on the issue of race pre-
judice.

Attempts to Refute Story of Maille-
fert's Death in Prison
Sweat Box.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
JACKSONVILLE. Fla. October IL
An array of witnesses, many of them
convicts, was marshaled today to sup
port the contention of former Prison
Guards George w. Courson and Solo,
mon Higginbotham that Arthur Maille-
fert, prisoner whese death in sweat
box led to their trial for murder, de-
liberately strangle himself
The State. charging the two killed
Maillefert through weakening him by
torture and allowing him to strange
at the end of trace chain dangling
from a rafter in a punitive cell. rested
its case last night after introducing a
parade of convict witnesses. who told
OF prison camp brutalities. The defense
contends Maillefert chose suicide as
the way to end his seven-year term for
robbing a filling station.
The State charges Courson fogged
Maillefert with hose like that used in
coupling box cars, had him put into a
barrel. the ends knocked out and at
tached to the youths neck by planks
and straps, and finally confined him in
the sweat box with stocks on his feet
and his neck incircled by the chain
which brought strangulation.
Robert Blake. head trusty at Sun
beam at the time. told the jury he
helped frame a story that Maillefert
committed suicide and that he did this
at Cour on's request so the trusty might
get som, witnesses TO clear me at the
trial"
After Courson,s arrest, Blake said, he
was broken as trusty, reduced to the
squad under guns. and sent away to
Kenansyille Camp, where he claimed
a guard told him he would be dead in
60 days If he related his story at the
trial
