BY the Associated Press.
PARIS, March 30.-A willingness to
see the other country's viewpoint and
to reach accords in an objective spirit
we're stressed today by Andre Lefebvre
de la Boulaye, new French Ambassador
to the United States, in an address be-
fore the American Club.
1T has been said that accords which
do not fully satisfy either party often
are most fruitful and most enduring"
he declared
He avoided reference to war debts
and other problems, but pleaded for
development of objectivity between the
two peoples.
He said that France was sometimes
pictured as wishing to conceal its in
tentions. instead of acting in the full
light of day, but he promised large
scale press information facilities
whereby French policy and action
would be better explained heI4ceforth.
La Boulaye agreed that America was
better equipped to know France than
France was to know America, through
tourists and the latter's larger press
representation in Paris.
He paid tribute to America and said
good relations between the United
States and France at present are of
capital Importance in the maintenance
OF equilibrium and peace of the world.

Local 9 Leaders Hit
Bosses in Clique
Expose Schwartz AS
Racketeer

| NEW YORK.-Proof Of boss con-
nections and racketeering among
some of the accusers of the left wing
administration of Local Of the In
ternational Ladies Garment Workers
Union was presented yesterday al
their trial before the General Exec
utive Board now being held at In
ternational headquarters, 3 W. 16tt
| Street.
Left wing leaders who are conduct
ing their own defense called several
of the clique supporters who had
brought about their trial to the stand
today.
N. Miner, one of those who demand
the ousting of the left wing, was
questioned regarding his attendance
at meetings other than that of the
international. His denial brought
laughter from the listeners.
j. Koenigsberg, a supporter Of the
left wing, was called to substantiate
the charge Of the left wing that Miner
and several others who are now sup
porting the clique spoke on the plat
form of the Industrial Union in Oc-
tober 1882. Koenigsberg declared that
he was chairman of the meeting and
reported that they too had been
guilty Of denouncing the Kmzman
leadership of local 9 and had admit
ted conditions were bad in the shops.
Max Schwartz, the chief accuser of
| the left wingers, was forced to admit
that hO tAoA hoaY, 5v,
30 and a silent partner for the boss
for whom he worked in 1898 The
business agent of the local at that
time was ordered to remove him from
Office in the local His standing as
a defender Of the union was con-
siderably debated when the defense
produced witness who showed that
he had taken $40 as initiation fee al
though not an official, and had not
turned it in. No attempt to squirm
out OF the charge could cover up this
racketeering. The trial committee
called halt to the questioning and
left the room to confer. Later they
ruled the right to this line of ques-
tioning.
Goldstein and Finkelstein, called to
the stand, were also shown to be
bosses.
Sam Berman, former vice chairman
who had supported the right wing
and is now backing the left wing ad-
ministration, declared that he had
left the Kurzman clique because he
was convinced that they were not
sincere on the question Of week work.
He made a detailed exposure Of their
acts Of treachery against the work.
ers.
Throughout the proceedings Of the
trial the defense was able to show
that the clique, which charges the
present administration with having
violated the constitution, were them
selves responsible for these acts when
it served their own purposes. They
showed that they had voted against
tax to carry on organization work
in 1929.
The trial adjourned until Wednes-
day.

Printers Prepare
For Strike Action
Parleys on Demands
At Deadlock

NEW YORK.-Negotiati with
newspaper publishers on the demands
of the printers for a 30-hour week
the 1929 wage scale and joblesS in
surance, we're deadlocked today as
the President of the Union was re-
ported to have left for Washington
o consult with President Howard OF
the International Typographical Un-
ion, and the members prepared for a
strike.
The demands were adopted last
Sunday at membership meeting OF
the printers, where it was voted to call
a strike should the publishers refuse
to yield.
Members of the Union gathered at
the open forum called by the Anal
Samation Party of the Typographical
Union at its headquarters, 40 West
18th Street, Monday night to discuss
the commercial and newspaper wage
scales and the agreement which is
now being negotiated. The three
principal speakers discussed the
pending negotiations.
The Amalgamation Party Is pre-
pairing the membership for the strike
action which is expected. 1--WE can
tie up the newspapers in the city,
said one Of the speakers, "and force
the publishers to concede our de-
mands" Mention of the strike was
a signal for cheering and applause.
A special membership meeting is
called by the Union at the New Star
Casino on Sunday.

NaziS Will Demand
Death Sentence for
Four Communists
Continued from Page u


against the fascist dictatorship or a
general strike of unlimited duration
as a prologue to armed uprising. Jes-
sci stated that action had been pre-
pared in his district solely for
self defense.
Witness Hannemann who, the NaziS
claimed, stated at previous exam
ination that everything was ready"
declared that he meant that every
thing was ready for defense and not
for an armed uprising.
Demand G. p. Leaders Testify
DimitrOff stated that 81 witnesses
had been examined in the political
section of the trial. Regarding Of
ficiais' dispositions, men dependent
on their positions cannot speak
openly, he declared. He added that
witnesses from prison cannot be
expected to speak freely since thou
sands were languishing in concen-
tratiOn camps, prisons, penal SER
yitude. Dimitroff demanded that
w0rldknown Communist Party
leaders such as Marcel Cachin, etc,
be called to testify in court 20 prove
that the Communist Party was not
a sect or group of conspirators,
but world mass party.
81 shall settle with the prosecutor
and his masters" DimitrOff said.
Witness Rudolph Otto, alleged to
be an ex-funCtionary of the Commu-
mist Party, asserted that the former
Communist Reichstag Deputy Fran
ziska Kessel. had told him that he
must distribute leaflets on the
Reichstag fire or it would cause the
loss of Torgler's life. The leaflet, he
testified, stated that Nero had burned
Rome to persecute Christians, and
that Hitler and Goering had burned
the Reichstag to furnish a preteXt
for the persecution of Communists.
Dimitroff demanded that Kessel, now
imprisoned in Darmstadt on a three
years sentence for high treason, be
called to testify.
The presiding judge here inserted
an unprecedented provocation in
preparation for a bloody verdict by
reading sentences including death
penalties against Communists for al
legged attacks on storm troopers.

Harlem Workers
Demand Mirror"
RetraCt SlanderS
Denounce Papers At
tack on Scottsboro
Demonstration

NEW YORK.-A delegation of Har-
lem workers, elected by the Emergen-
cy Scottsboro Anti-Lynching Confer
ence held last Sunday, visited the Of
fees OF the New York DAILY Mirror"
yesterday to demand q retraction by
that paper Of its slanderous report on
the Scottsboro protest demonstration
in Harlem last Saturday.
Richard B. Moore, general secretary
of the League of Struggle for Negro
Rights and spokesman for the delega-
ton. told George Clarke, city editor of
the Mirror" that the report by Frank
Mcmahon in Sundays Mirror" head
ed Reds Effort Fails to Incite Har-
lem," in which the prostitute reporter
described the demonstration as a
shameful exhibition" marked by
wild disorder" ETC., was a scurrilous
attack on the anti-lynching movement
and an attempt to further the open
Indictment of lynching in emulation
Of Gov. Rolph's approval Of the Cali
fornia double lynching. He demanded
an immediate retraction.
Saturdays. demonstration, de-
clared Moore, "was a profound ex-
preston of the indignation Of the
masses Of Harlem against the Decatur
lynch verdict and the spreading lynch
terror, and an expression of their de-
termination to fight. The parade car
ried no banner lynch the lynchers,
as falsely reported by the Mirror but
carried slogans demanding the death
penalty to the lynchers."
Moore branded the article as an
expression Of the lying propaganda
of the press controlled by the rich
Oppressors which attempt to feature
the Negroes as Sub-nOrmal, sub
human beings without brains or
manhood enough to resent or act
against the atrocities perpetrated
against them"
Moore's protests we're vigorously
backed up by Mrs. Patience Williams
of the Garvey Club of the Universal
Negro Improvement Association, who
declared that the Garvey masses par
ticipsted in the demonstration, and "I
am here to tell you as a black mother
OF IA children, we black mothers of
Harlem are stirred to our depths. We
have blood in our eyes. We are de-
termined to fight against lynchings
and lynch verdicts. We will not stand
for such lies against the Negro
people"
James W. Ford, section organizer Of
the Communist Party in Harem, and
other members of the delegation like
wise expressed their indignation. The
delegation included Representatives
from the Odd Fellows, the knights of
Pythias, the National Students
League, the Harlem Unemployed
Council, the Hospital Workers, the
L.SN,R., the International Labor De-
fenSe and other organizations.
In answer to the hypocritical pro-
fessions of sympathy for the Negro
masses by the Mirrors city editor,
the delegation declared that these
professions did not jibe with the SLAM
derous attacks on Negroes in the col
umnS Of the Mirror" They declared
that unless an immediate retraction
was Forthcoming, the Negro and white
workers of Harlem would demonstrate
in masses before the Mirrors" office.

House immigration and Natrallza-

several patches of Nazi propaganda
material. intended for use in this
country, on board German vessels.
Samuel Schermer, "a years in the
customs service, testified that he
found NaM official letters Of identift-
cation in the pockets Of Carl KEN,
assistant purser Of the Hamburg
American liner New York, certifying
Klein as "the commissioned leader on
board the SIS. New York This

Schermer that his function was TO
organize Seamen on board ship and
people in the United States"
Francis Cataggio, the other Gus

in the service, corToborated Schermer
and stated, in answer to a question,
that the Nazis ultimate object is to
organize Germans here and to get
their hooks into things"
What date was this?"
oct. 29, 1898. I made another
seizure Of Nad literature on Oct, 25
on the S. s. Deutschland and one on

"Are 22 sacks of mail unrsual?"
"The most I ever saw was bags
