WASHINGTON-(FP)-Nearly SOC
of the delegates to the Continental
Congress at Washington, who were
sheltered in the municipal tourist
camp, gave a pledge to Roger Blake,
volunteer chief of the Camp Continen-
tai which they organized, that they
would go home and form Committees
of Action, to make good on the
aims Of the Congress. Blake, So
cialist party organizer in Bucks
County, Pennsylvania, took their
names and addresses, and expects to
establish communication with scores
Of groups which will carry out, on
agreed dates, demonstrations in favor
of the legislation and action demand
ed by the 4,5OO delegates who journey
ed to the capital.
The first arrival at the camp, after
Blake secured its use, was a man who
had ridden freight trains from Wyom-
ing. Another was a doctor from Flor
ida. There were civil engineers,
teachers, skilled tradesmen of all
sorts, and farm couples who had
crossed half the continent to attend
the Congress. One young couple had
"freighted" from Spokane. Scores
had hitch-hiked from the Mississippi
valley.
After halliday argument with the
Red Cross, Blake secured 65 cots for
the women in camp, from the Asso-
ciated Charities. Private contribu-
tions were secured, enabling him to
offer free meals, limited in extent,
to as many as 400 of the campers at
one time. Many of the delegates
started home with only nickel or a
dime in their pockets. But they all
promised to "start action" in their
home counties.

EASLEY BOUGHT "RED SPY"
MATERIAL FROM GASTON MEANS

WASHINGTON-(FP)- Ralph M.
Easley, chairman of the executive
committee of the National Civic Fed
GRAFTON, of which Matthew Woll is
acting president, was pulled back in
to the limelight of the CASTOR Means
kidnap-swindle story, in the capital
on May IL, when the Washington
Post told of Easley's employment of
Means in Easley's professional red
plot-scare activities. The Post is the
property of the children of Mrs.
Evalyn Walsh Mclean, from whom
Means secured $105,O00 on the pre-
tense that he would hand over to her
the kidnapped Lindbergh baby.
According to the Post, when Nor
man 7. Whitaker ("The Fox"), who
was indicted with Means in this swim
die, was arrested, Easley promptly
recognized his portrait in the papers
as that of 'the head of the Soviet
Secret Police in the United States"
But the body of an unidentified man,
with lead weights attached to his
broken neck, found floating in Chesa-
peake Bay near Point Lookout, the
previous September, Easley had de-
clared earlier, was the body Of the
"head Of the Soviet Secret Police in
this country" He added, in a press
interview at the Willard Hotel in
Washington, at the time of Means
arrest last spring, that Means has
been employed by himself, Easley,
and had secured valuable data con-
cerning Communist Sabotage" in the
United States.
"When Means was arrested" the
Post said, "Easley, whose organiza-
tion busies itself with the getting of
Information concerning alleged Red
activity in this country, came to
Washington. 1t did not say that
Easley tried to induce Mrs. Mclean
to drop prosecution of the swindler.
"He exhibited many newspaper
clippings about fires of unknown or
Montana labor news., 1933-05-25

igin, bank robberies and other acts
of violence" the Post article contin-
ued, (which he stated Means had in
vestigated and found to be of Com
munist origin. And in the telling of
the tale he declared that the body at
Point Lookout was that of the head
of the Soviet Secret Police in this
country. The man, he said, had been
murdered by other Soviet agents be-
cause he had been giving information
to his (Easley's) agents"
1t proceeded to give the Depart
ment Of Justices version of the Eas-
ley-Means relations. A Department
agent found that Means had intro
duced to Easley man whom Means
described as the Soviet secret police
chief. This individual agreed to turn
over to Easley some valuable red-plot
documents, to show that Soviet gold
was behind American crime waves.
Easley paid some money down, and
when later he complained to Means
that his faithless red spy had failed
to deliver, Means assured him that the
spy had been murdered. Accordingly,
when a body was found in the Chesa-
peake, Easley told the world that it
was that of the Soviet spy chief. Some
months later the Whitaker photograph
appeared in the newspapers, and Eas-
ley recognized that the Soviet spy
chief was alive, after all.
The Post refrains from discussion
of Easley's use of the information"
he bought from Means, in securing
contributions from frightened women
Of wealth. The fact that it has pub
lished the Easley-Means incident as a
sidelight on Means imaginative testi-
mony in the Mclean swindle trial,
has lead to speculation as to whether
EasIey will be summoned to testify
as to just what was his interest in
trying to save Means from punish
ment.

erty, slavery, and misery. The re-
markable thing about this is the ex-
treme acquiesence and submissiveness
of the pauperized. They are resigned
to their fate. They have been taught
so long in the schools or by their
leaders that their poverty is a result
of laziness and shiftlessness, that
they accept their fate as being due
to their own worthlessness and hope
something will turn up. They have
been accustomed to living without lib
erty under corporation dominance.
The concentration of economic pow
er and autocratic control has pro
duced an industrial subservience
which in turn has caused a political
submissiveness. The voters know
they are controlled but accept it and
most workmen are satisfied if they
are given enough work to keep them
alive. Unfortunately the masses
cling to the social order to which they
have been accustomed
Increasing numbers of the well-to-
do are coming to see that the two
cities are interdependent and intelli-
gent employers and professional men
are bringing pressure to bear to rem
edy the inequalities which have re-
acted upon their prosperity and we'll
being. The ravages of infectious dis
eases, the dependence upon the kinds
of movies they will see, upon the
wholesomeness ON the atmosphere,
upon their safety in traffic and their
home or business from criminals. But
yet the attitude of aloofness is the
predominating one. Even our educa-
tional systems aid this escape from
reality and the financial control by
privilege of higher and public educa-
tion has accentuated this evasive as
pect of culture. To those materially
well-to-do to whom culture means
nothing, the barrier is intensified by
the belief (untrue) that the masses
are envious of them, though surpris-
ingly they are not, for they have been
taught that the lot of the rich is one of
constant worry and uncertainty and
they are largely absorbed in their
life with one another.
Due to this interdependence between
the two cities in the face of their
aloofness a mental strain is generat-
ed between them, for normal func-
tioning of a person requires a reason
able sense of security. With all our
rugged individualism" we have never
learned to be wholesome, socialized
individuals. "Our life and emotional
development is not organized so that

fensive reactions and ending in inef-
