The execution took place Immediately

The purpose of the group, the gov

the proletariat dictatorship set ur
by Stalin's group and the adoption
Of the Zinovieff Trotsky platform
which advocates the world Communist
revolution.
The foreign Office today scornfully
denied reports that Gregory Zinoviefl

From sources usually considered re-

dismissal of its challenge to Gov.-
elect Thomas H. Noodles citizenship.
No verification could be obtained
from any official source, but it was
definitely learned dismissal of the
citizenship issue had been matter
of discussion In the attorney generals
Office.
From those close to the situation
it was learned that careful investiga-
ton had been made by Noodles at
torneys of the citizenship angle.
Noodle and his attorneys have ex-
pressed confidence that they would
prove conclusively that Gov.-elect
Noodle Is a citizen of the United
States.
It was charged before the State
Supreme Court this week that Noodle,
born in Canada, never was naturalized.
If the citizenship issue is dropped
the only remaining issue in the pro-
ceedings to disqualify Noodle would
be the challenge Of his residence In

PLANS TO 'K|DNAP
PRESIDENT AIRED
Two Schemes to Seize Reins
of Government Related.
Fascist Plot Told.

A reputed Communist plot to kid
nap the President and an alleged
Fascist scheme to set up a Dictator
ship were made public yesterday by
the House Committee which has been
investigating un-American activities.
Walter S. Steele of Washington,
appearing for the American coalition
of patriotic. civil and paternal So
cieties, said Red plan was being
widely circulated in Communist cir
cles to create civil war during a gen.
eral strike; invade the White House
kdnap the President, his cabinet too;
take over the Government and super
sede it with Soviet state. (Steele
who lives at 2916 Twenty ninth
street, is general manager of the Ma
tional Republic Magazine)
An Army captain, Samuel Glazier
Of Baltimore, in charge of civilian
conservation camp at Eldridge. Me-,
gave the committee the testimony
concerning the dictatorship plan.
100000 Backing Reported.
Glader said that Jackson Martin
dell, New York attorney, had dis
cussed with him formation Of the
American Vigilantes," half mil
lion strong, and backed with s700.-
100000 to turn out the administra-
ton and set up Martindell as dicta-
tor. Glazier testified in New York
recently. His testimony was made
public before Steele appeared before
the committee.
Martindell, Glazier said, told him
"he knew with the present policies Of
the President, eventually the country
was coming to a revolution and when
that time came he wanted to be
ready with his organization to take
over the reins of the Government.
''He said that there.ought to be one
man who would run the country, and
he would be the head of the organi-
cation"
The hearing yesterday concluded the
