Budget Crisis Grows
Despite Financing
OF New Govt. Bonds

WASHINGTON, Dec. 8.-The Roo

ing efforts to bolster the credit of
the government in the face of the
steadily growing budget deficit.
Johnson's speech yesterday decla-
ing the U. S. dollar "the soundest In
the world" significantly followed the
government announcement OF an
other government loan.
The government has been prepar-
ing for this financing for the past
week. The government financing ex-
plains why 1t Is that the Roosevelt
government has not been raising its
bid for gold in the last six days.
Roosevelt has been keeping the
dollar steady and rising, in order to
allay for the moment any fears of
further initiation. The bond issue to-
day Of $3.50, O00, 900 was oversubscribed
by the Wall Street banks.
Despite all this however, the gov

This demonstration was part of

The attack was deliberately pre-

marched a few PAGES past the Bureau

Gottlieb, walked up to Mrs. Boyd, a
Negro worker, and attempted to pull
a placard out of her hands. She re-
sisted him and he started pummeling
her around. A group Of workers
springing to her defense, was the
signal for the cops and horsecops to
charge directly into the crowd and
start smuggling the workers.
Mrs. Boyd was arrested and
brought into the 54th Street Court all

Texas Negro Killed
By Officers; Body
Mutilated By Mob
Mass. Negro in Jail on
"Rape" Charge in
Lynch Danger

KnUNTZE, Texas, Dec. S.
After county officers shot and
mortally wounded David Or
CORY, Negro, last night, a mob
of more than 800 mutilated
his body and then burned it
to a crisp.
Members of the mob cut out the
Negroes heart and sexual organs
and cast them into the flames.
To strike terror into the hearts of
the Negro population in this little
town the mob had dragged the body
OF the slain Negro to q pyre in the
Negro section OF Kountze.
Without shred of evidence to
prove Gregory guilty of the crime, an
armed posse seized the Negro on a
charge Of killing Mrs. Nellie Williams
Brookman, the wife of a farmer, whose
body was found on highway near
here last Saturday.
Last night the posse trailed Gregory
to the belfry of a Negro church at
Voth, where he was hiding, and shot
and wounded him. Later they ex-
planned that the Negro had resisted
arrest"
wounded and unconscious, Gregory
was taken to q hospital at Beaumont.
He died a sS5rt time afterwaru. The
body was taken 10 SilSbee, small
town near here.
When the mob, which had been
slowly increasing in size heard of this,
they made their way to Silsbee where
the sheriff obligingly turned the Ne
gro's body over to them.
Rewards totalling $70O offered for
the apprehension of the slayer of Mrs.
Brockman undoubtedly did much TO
stimulate the niger hunt"
Danger Of further mob action is
great in view OF the fact that two
other Negroes are being held by the
police on the charge that they "aided"
Gregory escape Immediately after the
body of Mrs. Brockman was dis
covered.
Kountze is a small town near Beau
mount, with only few hundred res
idents. 1t was at one time an active
saw-mill town. The Negroes live far
apart from the white section.
