tinually pinned the guilt for
the fire on the Nazis' own
shoulders. Dimitroff, in attacking his
accusers, specifically demanded that
Thaelmann be called to testify before
the court. In the face of repeated
warnings and reprimands by the pre-
siding judge, the two cours geous Com
munists showed up in the hostile
court, the real nature of the trial pro-
ceedings against them.
Communist Quotations CARRIED
The session opened with Heller, the
Nazi expert" on Communist actiVi-
ties, continuing his apparently end
less. reading of quotations from Com
munist books. papers and leaflets. He
cited exclusively passages proving"
preparations for armed instruction
and alleged Communist Party terror
plans. Heller iilte1spersed his own
comments and quotations of ques-
tionable origin throughout his read
ing, with the Communist defendants
given no opportunity to investigate
the authenticity of the material he
presented.
At one point, however, Dimitroff as
certained by a single question to the
court that many of the leaflets quoted
were written since the Reichstag fire.
Heller was forced to admit that the
main contents of all the material
written recently and before the fire
referred to the question of the estab-
lishment of the united front.
Full Text Demanded
Both Torgler and Dimitroff de-
manded the full wording of quota
lions torn by Heller from their
original context. When Heller quoted
q b,oodthirsty sentence allegedly from
a Communist Party paper, Torgler in
terrupted:
do you really believe that is Com

The presiding judge reprimanded
Torgler for insulting" Heller, an Of

ately answered by repeating that the
quotation attributed to him was false.

Bic Railroads Reap
huge Profits Under
Roosevelt Program

NEW YORK, Nov. 23.--Reports nov
coming in from the cour1tryS largest
railroads give a picture Of huge IN
creases in profits as d result of the
Roosevelt railroad co-ordinating pro-
gram, despite declines in actual traf-
fic carried.
The New York Central, a Morgan
controlled road, reported profits for
the first ten months OF the year
equal to $29, 222 900, compared with
SIG, 693, 900 last year. This large in
crease in profit took place in the
face OF a decrease in gross traffic
from $246, 100000 to s237, 100000.
The following roads are typical OF
similar huge increases in profit I'M
der the Roosevelt railroad program
in the face of SLIGHT increases in traf-
fic or actual declines in traffic.
Alabama Great Southern for the
first ten months in 1888 showed prof.
its of $491 900 against a deficit of
$232, 900 last year.
Baltimore and Ohio showed profits
of $25 ,683 900 against S18,528,000 last
year.
Chicago, Burlington and Quincy
showed profits of 1869 900 as against
$1,576,00O last year.
Chicago g. Eastern Illinois showed
profits of $4,000 after a deficit Of
$1,151 900 last year.
Chicago, Milwaukee and st. Paul
showed a huge increase in profit to
S7,675,000 as against a loss Of $935,000
last year.
Most of these roads are directly
controlled by Wall Street banking
houses,
AS a result of these huge profits,
the payments of dividends and bond
interest to Wall Street investors has
increased.
The Roosevelt railroad co-ordina'
tor program, as administered by the
co-ordinator, Eastman, has reduced
the number of railroad employees to
a minimum, so that now there are
about 100000 railroad workers COM
pared with about 100000 before the
crisis.

Scottsboro Defense Attorneys Riddle
Stories of Gilley and Victoria Price
Eastern Shore Mob
Fights Arrest Of
ArmwoOd Lynchers
Five Higher-Ups Got
Tip of Raids and
Disappeared"

SALISBURY, Nov. Is. -
Eastern Shore lynchers clashed
with the state militia today
in an attempt to carry out the
promise of States Attorney
Robins that mobs would prevent the
arrest Of any leaders of the mob
which on October IS 1ynched George
Arnlwood, Negro worker.
The mob attempted to free four
of the lynchers arrested by state
militiamen on the order of Governor
Albert G. Richie, as a result Of the
pressure brought to bear for the ar
rest and punishment Of the lynchers
by the recent Public Inquiry and
Anti-Lynching Conference held in
Baltimore under the auspices of the
League of Struggle for Negro Rights,
with the cooperation Of the Interna-
.ional Labor Defense.
Give IyncEsers Disappear
The four lynch leaders were seized
in their beds early this morning. Five
other leaders, named in the arrest
warrants, are said to have ''diSap-
reared" from the Eastern Shore.
These are prominent politicians who
were evidently tipped off on the COM
ing arrests. Those arrested are:
William H Thompson, druggist
Of Princess Anne, where Armwood
was lynched.
Irving Adkins, a special officer of
Princess Anne.
william P. Hearn, of Shad Point,
trucker.
william S. McQuay of Pocomoke
City, chain store operator.
other lynchers, named in Capt,
Frank Spencer's affidavit, published
October &c by the Daily Worker"
are:
States Attorney John b. Robins,
James Morrison, Carl Henderson,
and the Princess Anne Commander
Of the American Legion.
None of these we're arrested, nor
was Judge Duer, also named in
Spencer's affidavit as encouraging the
lynchers.
The state n1ilitiamen broke through
the Infatuated "best citizens" of the
Eastern Shore and fled with their
prisoners in trucks toward Baltimore.
The arrests followed the open re-
fusal of States Attorney Robins to
carry out the orders of Lane for the
arrest of the known lynch leaders.
Lane was forced to act following the
wide mass support given the Public
Inquiry and Anti-Lynching Confer
ence in Baltimore, and subsequent
actions organized by the League Of
Struggle for Negro Rights and the
l. L. D.
A delegation elected the Anti
Lynching Conference viii appear to-
morrow "wednesday before the
Maryland State Legislature to de-
n1and the arrest of the other known
lynchers and the punishment of all
the lynchers of Arrnwood. 1t will de-
nland the arrest and removal Of
States Attorney Robins, Judge Duer,
and the impeachment of Governor
Ritchie for his refusal to order out
troops to protect Armwood on the
day of the lynching. The delegation
will demand that the Legislature re-
turn indictments against the lynch
leaders.

curing existing illness. A secondary
object of this expenditure is to pre-
vent future cases, but the primary OBJ
ject is that of curing. Money spent by
the Health Department is spent en-
tirely for prevention. Thus it is that
only one-sixth the total amount is
spent entirely in prevention, the re-
mainder being spent for relief and
cure.
tuberculosis in its prevalence in a
community is much like a shoulder
ing fire. If it is once put out, effort is
no longer needed in carrying on the
fight or in repairing the damages. If
the fire is smouldering, the thing to
do is to make a great effort and put
it out rather than let it burn and re-
pair damages. Should we not make a
much greater effort to drive out tu-
berculosis and instead of spending
one-sixth of our effort on prevention,
spend much more and thus relieve
ourselves of the necessity of keeping
on paying for damages?
Montgomery County sentinel. [volume] (Rockville, Md.) 1855-1974, 1933-12-14

tuberculosis, because of the long
duration of its illness and because it
affects primarily young adults at the
age when wage earning is most need
ed for family support, is one of the
most expensive" of all diseases.
Figures have been obtained for Mont
gomery County showing what large
sums of money have to be spent for
the relief of suffering in tuberculous
families. These figures were tabulated
by the County tuberculosis nurse from
record Of SO families in which a case
of tuberculosis existed and in which
financial assistance was given. For
these families Montgomery County,
through its Social Service League and
County Health Department, and the
State of Maryland, through its tuber-
culosis sanatoria, spent up to Janu-
airy 1, 1888 over $35,0OO.O0. The aver
age spent per family was $403.00, but
in six families the amount averaged
over 100000 per family. Approx
mately half of the total amount, or
ST, 10000 was spent in 1892 and the
remainder spent in previous years.
The money spent is, of course, in adj
dition to the expenditures made by the
families themselves.
The following table shows the fig
ures divided according to agencies:
Amount spent by Social Service
League for visits to homes and
material relief ... 81, 408.31
Amount spent by State Sanatoria
in care of patients ..... 12,160.87
Amount spent by County Health
Department through home visits
and clinic examinations 5,936.44
Total spent by all agencies 80, 505.62
These figures show an interesting
story. Expressed in common fractions,
one-haf the total amount was spent
by the Social Service League, one
third was spent by the State Sana-
toria and one-sixth by the County
Health Department. The money spent
by the Social Service League had to
be spent to relieve suffering. It was
not an expenditure for prevention.
The amount spent by State Sanatoria
was spent for the main purpose of
