Dead Buried by
Flood in Tampico
Storm Disaster
River RACES Through
Center of the City as
Boats Rescue Injured

MEXICO CITY, Sept. 26.-The hur-
ricane that struck Tampioo, coastal
oil town, Sunday night, has turned
the entire region into vast sham
bles. All the towns along the Panuco
and Tamesi rivers and on the shore of
Lake Carpintero have been destroyed
the Mexican National Telegraph
Agency reported today.
Relief workers in Tampico were
facing almost insurmountable handi-
caps among the dead, injured and
homeless throughout the area. The
Panuco River is running right
through the main section of the city
and boats are the only means o1
getting about. Floating debris anc
fallen telegraph poles make all pro.
gress dangerous.
Dead Buried Under Ruins
Most of the victims are still buried
beneath the ruins of destroyed build
ings with the waters of the raging
hood swirling above them, and only
50 bodies have been recovered so far
Scores of injured have been evacu-
ated already on rowboats.
Radio communication with the out
side world has been partially rees-
tabliShed, with direct communication
with Brownsville, Texas, maintained
through an airway radio network.

JobleSs Faced With
Tragic Winter, Is
Welfare Warning
Ask City for Almost so
Percent Relief Rise;
Buro Drops More

NEW YORK.-Calling for an in
crease Of almost SO per cent for the
next six months of local unemployed
relief, the Welfare Council warned
Mayor OBrien and the Board of Es-
innate that suffering this winter will
be more intense and widespread than
at any time during the four years
of depression and unemployment.
Relief appropriations for September
have not yet been made, endangering
the food supply of the 10000 regular
Home Relief cases.
The request for additional funds
follows the closing of the Red Cross
and Emergency Relief offices, which
threw 10000 undernourished families
off all relief. ct would be tragic"
says the Welfare Council warning, to
be unduly optimistic about the pros
pect of the NRA in providing jobs.
They estimated the jobless in the
city at the low figure of one million
and said that there was little pros
pect of any material reduction this
coming winter. The Gibson Emer-
gency Relief Committee has fired
1000 emergency workers, which in
clude 1000 single women workers who
now have nowhere to turn for food
or shelter
In the meantime IS per cent of
Bronx Home Relief Bureau cases
have been cut off relief. A few cases
are being accepted but the greater
bulk of them are being stalled off on
one pretext or another. At the Spring
and Elizabeth Bureau policeman l.
stationed at the information desk to
help in getting rid of indignant work
ers.
At the central Home Relief Bureau
office small grocery store owners are
clamoring for food check bills unpaid
since July. One such owner, Kerkas
with two stores in Brooklyn, is owed
total CT S2,250 unpaid for almost
three months. This represents gro
ceries paid for with Home Relief
vouchers.
When approached, Carl Winter
Secretary Of the Unemployed Council
stated that had the city adopted the

Captain Goering's Role in the Reichstag Fire

As the Brown Book" puts it, at
is no accident that this man is play
ing leading role in the Third Reich.
He einbodies all the brutality of the
Prussian officers corps, which has
been striving for power ever since
1913. He is the embodiment of the
sadism which has led to thousands
of murders and tens of thousands of
brutal and cruel acts of maltreatment
during the past few months. He is
the personification of the officers
clique which murdered Rosa Luxem-
burg and Karl Liebknecht, which shed
rivers of blood in Hungary, which
erected White gallows in Finland, and
which is now turning all of Hitlers
Germany into a brown hell.
"Goering represents what the Nazi
policy really is. National Socialism
does not represent the workers or the
white-collar employees or the middle
class, but the interests Of the ruling
class, of the nobility. Power was
handed over to the Nazis in order to
have them maintain the existing eco
nomic system and protect it against
the menacing forces of social revo-
luton.
ITO protect these interests, National
Socialism has picked its highest Off
Gals from the ranks of the former
officers corps, the nobility and the
high government officials. Captain
Goering, brutal in the extreme, lying
and cowardly in the extreme, exposes
the true face Of the Nazis. II.
"This Captain Goering was the Or
ganizer Of the Reichstag fire. His
party comrade Goebbels concocted the
plan; Goering carried it out. All the
necessary power and all facilities were
in his hands; he held all the threads
1t was the morphine flend Goering
who set fire t othe Reichstag."

Won Fock, daughter of Swedish
noble family, who had previously
divorced a Swede, Captain Kantzow.
After her marriage to Goering, she
sued Kantzow for custody of her son
by her first marriage, and we owe
further sensational material on Goe-
rings past to this trial Captain
Kantzow's attorneys filed an official
medical certificate with the Stock
holm Court on April %, 1926, in which
Police Physician DR.. Karl A. Lund-
berg certif1es that Capt. Goering is a
morphine addict and therefore I'M
suitable as guardian for Karin Goe-
rings son." DR.. Lundberg adds that
Frau Karin Goering suffers from
epileptic fits and her home is not the
proper place for her SON.. AS a
result OF this medical evidence Karin
Goering's suit for the custody Of her
child was dismissed by the court. A
facsimile photograph of the certificate
OF the court medical expert, DR. Lund-
berg. is also reproduced in the Brown
Book.
Although the Stockholm court
decided that Goering was untitled
to act as guardian of his own step
son, National Socialism has given
him custody Of over 60,000,000
Germans.
In a speech In Essen on March 10,
1888, Goering said: my nerves have
never given way up to now" He
hoped to silence in this way the re-
ports of his nervous state published
IN the foreign press. He forgot that

and his, drug addiction, existed-proo

Push NRA Warship
Plans; U. S.-BritiSh
Arms Race Speeded
AntlWar Congress to
Meet Sept. 29th AS
War Danger Grows


WASHINGTON, Sept. 2e.-Definite
steps towards a bitter naval arm
aments race between the United
States and Great Britain was seen
here today in the declaration made
to Britain on the instructions OF
Roosevelt that there would be no de-
lay whatever In the s23S, 600, 900 war
ship building program under the
NRA.
The British cabinet, through dip
lomatic channels, had requested the
program be delayed because the Brit
ish government said it would regard
this move as an arms race which
would require similar action on the
part of England.
The British objected particularly to
the building of 10000-ton cruisers.
1t was pointed out at the time in
London that this would be conceived
as preparation for war in the Pacific
and that the British would be con-
cerned in such war.
The fact is the breakdown of the
London Economic Conference, fol-
lowed by the speeded-up war program
is sharpening the struggle between
these two powers for markets and
colonial plumber to the point where
both are rapidly preparing for war
This latest war move, combined es-
pecially with the open declarations at
the League of Nations that war
hovers over Europe comes on the eve
of the opening of the Anti-War Con-

BY ROBERT HAMILTON

According to DR.. Oberfohren's men,
orandum, the execution of the Nazi
plan for burning the Reichstag was
put in the hands of Capt. Herman
Wilhelm Goering, Speaker of the
Reichstag, Premier of Prussia and
head of the Prussian Police. 1t was
Goering who picked the small band
Of high Nazi officials, led by Lieut..
Edmund Heines, convicted murderer,
who smuggled the incendiary material
into the Reichstag during the after
noon of that fateful February 81, and
who escaped through the UNDER
ground tunnel to Goering's residence
after having applied the torch to the
Reichstag building. Only after the
Reichstag fire did the attention Of
the whole world focus on this war
aviator, who was reputed to be the
strong man" of the Nazi regime.
Goering, the Drug Addict
Captain Goering was born In
Rosenheim, Bavaria, on Jan. IL, 1893.
His biographers tell us that he was
a noted "ace" during the World War.
Aff1davits of Goering's former aviator
friends, however, state that he was a
drug addict even during the war, and
that his exploits as war flyer were
carried out under the influence OF
morphine.
Goering fed to Italy in 1923, after
the collapse of Hitler's beer-hall
putsch In Munich, and went to
Sweden in 1925, still a refugee from
the German courts. His Swedish
career had been shrouded in darkness
until this year, when disclosures pub
lished in the London daily Herald"
and in prominent Stockholm news
papers lifted the veil surrounding his
Swedish record.
Dispatches from Stockholm recent
ly reported that the Swedish govern
ment had filed suit cat the demand

throughout the Soviet Union.
AS members of parties and trade
unions whose leaders have been con-
sistently fighting the Soviet Union
on grounds that British capitalist
democracy is preferable to the pro-
letarian dictatorship, these delegates
were candid in their opinion that
they had been under the influence
of wholly misleading theories.
John Aplin, leading member of
the delegation, in answer to ques-
ton about his opinion of the British
Labor leader Citrines statement that
Soviet Trade Uions were the same
as fascist trade unions, declared
when we in England have
trade union movement comparable
with that which is in existence here,
we, rs workers, will be better off,
and Citrine won't be General Sec
Rotary. There Is a dictatorship
here; why deny It: But it Is
dictatorship Of the workers them
selves.
"The unions are an expression
u ftANe usttDcos SIM Y. diu tcIJ cl-
ficient one, too.
"Citrine may talk of democracy
versus dictatorship, but any British
worker who can come over here and
see for himzelf would choose the
prolstarian dictatorship in the
Soviet Union to British capitalist
democracy"
Aplin is the London organizer OF
the I. L. p. whose leaders have beer
unwilling to submit to the leader
ship. of the Communist international
on the grounds that they do not be-
lieve in dictatorship of the working
class or the necessity for the revolu-
tionary seizure of state power.
The visit of Alpins delegation Is
indicative of the growing sentiment
of the I. L. P. rank and file ano
lower party functionaries for affili.
alton with the Communist Interna-
tional.

employed In the southern county OF
California = the playground of the
rich. A drastic cut of 40 per cent
in relief has been given since July Is.
The marchers will demand all work
to be paid at the rate of 81 for a
six-hour- day, no forced labor, with a
minimum of 10 days month for a
family of two and an additional q
days for each dependent. Stopping
of evictions and shutting off of gas
or electricity. A repeal of the sales
tax, moratorium on taxes and as
sessments for small home Owners
and recognition of committees of the
unemployed by the welfare agencies
are listed among the demands.
Endorse Jobless Insurance
At the conference where the hunger
march was planned, it was decided
to launch campaign for unemploy-
ment insurance. Workers point to
the fact that existing relief measures
are totally inadequate, and have been
the cause for .existing conditions of
starvation. They will demand from
the county, while providing imme-
diate aid, to endorse also federal I'M
employment insurance and ask Roo
sevelt for its adoption by the next
session of Congress.
Denial of rent checks and evictions
of numerous families, forced 80 of
them to build shacks on a plot of un-
improved ground at 84th and Almeda.
Even these shanties were taken from
them when the sheriff, without no.
tice, threw out their belongings and
set fire to them. 1t was only with
the aid of the Relief Workers Pro-
tective Union that homes were found
for IL of the families.
Little Relief-Big Graft
Los Angeles county spent $13,727,371
for direct and work relief for the first
seven months of this year. This is
an insignificant amount considering
the half million persons and their
families who are dependent on relief.
From this sum $1,372,737 went for
overhead, good portion, undoubtedly
being graft. Superintendent of Char
tiles Jensen, who is a wealthy corpor-
alton lawyer, gets $500 year, while
men working with pick and shovel
in the hot sun earn 40 cents an hour.
The points where workers will
gather for the march are: Washing
ton and Figuera, Central and 18th.
Brooklyn and Evergreen, Echo Park
and Temple, Lincoln Park and Main.
San Fernan and North Broadway.
The hungry marchers will converge
at the Plaza at / pm. From there,
they will proceed to City Hall Lawn.
where their elected delegates will pre-
sent the demand to the officials.
