seminary and a Communist editor

warned that war was closer than
most persons believed. but closed
with the following plea to the
students:
"Wake up, and wind up with
the working classes, and join in
the social and economic revolu-

Lovestone's address had the
fiery label Revolution" and he
did not mince his words in a plea
for new type of state and pro-

Calls Trade Hazardous
Wallace B. Denham, dean OF

pointed out that only those build

to be exempt from taxes.

seek approval of a measure de-

as to return the structure of those
laws as it was before the economy
program was effected.
Later, he said. he will urge en-
actment of a measure to repeal
all other economy act provisions

GARNETT WATTS
ON APPROVAL
BY SENATE
General Shake-up Due in U. S.
Attorneys Office Follow
ing Confirmation

Following the announcement
yesterday of the appointment of
Leslie C. Garnett as United States
District Attorney for the District,
two prosecutors submitted their
designations.
These two designations are be-
lieved to be only the beginning of
a wholesale shake-up in the local
District Attorneys office in view
of the statement made yesterday
by Garnett that he will make a
general change in the personnel.
2 Ask Release
The men who resigned are
Assistant District Attorney Will
liam H. Collins, in charge cf GRIM
inal prosecutions, and John H.
Sirica. They asked to be relieved
of their duties January Is.
Garnett succeeds Leo A. Rover
who resigned several months ago,
but was persuaded to remain in
office until his successor was ap-
pointed.
Garnett, who was formerly AS
sistant Attorney General, an
nounced today he will not take
the oath of office until his ap-
pointment has been confirmed by
the Senate.
Needs More Time
Until that time, he stated. he
will not make any drastic changes
in the District Attorneys office.
He said today he was not familiar
with the workings of Rover's office
and that he wished to have time
to study them.
Garnett's appointment came as
a distinct disappointment to the
local Democratic organization,
headed by John Costello, which
had been backing Ralph A. Cusick
for the job. The group was also
ignored in the appointment OF the
District Commissioners,
Collins and Sirica will form a
law partnership and move into
offices in the Shoreham Build
ing as soon as their designations
become effective.
