Buckingham Bats
Reds In Speech

TACOMA, Wn, Sept, 6-"Frank
Buckingham brings 'em back a
lie" is an apt description of an
address made by that parsonage,
a potentate of the Masonic Order
from Kansas City, now on a
speaking tour of the West Coast,
in the Scottish Rite cathedral
here recently.
Announcements of the add ess
in local papers appealed to all
'DeMolays, Masons and Elks" to
hear the true facts revealed on
Soviet Russia and the menace of
Communism.

many in the small audience were
maddened and beWildered, Fail
ing entirely to mention the in
dustrial and cultural develop
ment of the Soviet Union, he
spent considerable time attempt
ing to prove that Russia is

Fascists Mobilize
Buckingham showed his true
fascist cOlors when he attempted
to prove what bordering cOun-
tries thought of the Soviet IN
ion by pointing out that all these
fascist states had huge armies

mention, however, that these
troops are modified on the So
Wet border by greedy fascist
statesmen" impatiently waiting
an opportunity to strike but held
in check largely by the heroic
struggles of the workers within
these countries. Nor did he men,
tiOn the outstanding peace poll
cies of the Soviet government.
Several questions were asked
of this Vigilante Maker following
his address which he either re-
fused to answer or distorted in
such a way as to suit his pur-
pose.
Buy a Mortgage"
To a young worker who asked
what course workers should take
to save their homes from fore
closure he declared that the
question was unfair" but that
every citizen is protected by
our laws"
Under our constitution every
one has the privilege to work
and earn and save and buy a
mortgage" he declared and stat
ed that foreclosure can only
be accomplished through due
recourse to law"
He fully realized how trying
conditions are during this de-
preston" but had nothing but

when woman questioned him
from the floor and stated that
her home had been sold by the
sheriff that same day.

KINGS DEATH
PLOT MATCHED
IN j. s., said

copyright 1884 by the APP
GENEVA, Dec. 7.-1ibor Eek
hardt, Hungary's delegate to the
League Of Nations, charged Friday
that Croats meeting in the United
states had pronounced a death
sentence against the late King
Alexander Of Y~ugoslavia, who was
assaSSinated two months ago IN
Marseille.
He included this charge in hts
defense before the League Of Ma
tons council against YugoSlav
charges that Alexander's death was
plotted In Hungary.
Denies Accusations
His statements we're in reply 10
direct accusations leveled against
Hungary by Bogolyub Yevitch.
Y~ugoslavia,s foreign minister who
denounced the Hungarian govern
ment.
Yevitch characterized the crime
rs a grave menac to peace and
said Yugoslavia feels that the out
rage at MarSeille was directed
against the Yugoslav nation Of
which the king was the glorious
chief"
He charged that the assassination
was an expression Of conspiracy
organized and nourished IN Hun
gary and said the most serious
form Of assistance granted the
terrorists was the direct protection
by Hungarian authorities which he
said they enjoyed IN Hungary.
Interested Audience
The YugOSlav charges. coming
as they did on a day when reports
from Hungary had told Of YugoSlav
troops crossing into Hungary, were
heard by an audience which pack
ed the council chamber.
TeVltch summed up what he
called a chain OF overwhelming
evidence against Hungarian author
ity and made the following charges:
/. During the last six years. 20
cases of terrorist crimes have been
perpetrated in Yugoslav territory;
2. All these crimes occurred near
til HUNGARIAN frontier:
3. Sentences passed BY YugoSlav
courts prove that all these crimes
attempted were perpetrated by
terrOristS from Hungary with arms
and explosives:
4. The evidence Of terorists prov
ed they received systematic train
ing in special Hungarian camps;
5. The Investigation by foreign
police established that three Grim
inals were chosen in Hungarian
territory TO participate in the at
tempt upon Alexander and that they
left Hungary freely with Hungar-
ian passports:
8. "A terrorist organization IN
Hungary had abundant financial
resources which exceeded the pos
sibilities OF a private source.

SHIPPING RATE
APPEAL HEARD

HOUSTON, Dec. 7. R-Argu-
ments pro and con at a hearing
before the Texas Railroad commits
sion on an appeal filed by Texas
port cities for a reduction in intra-
state shipment rates. were planned
Friday rs the hearing went into its
second day.
The port cities argued that un-
der existing rates industries OF
their cities were seriously handicap
ped in their efforts to do business
with certain interior Texas points.
Firms which handle their business
from New Orleans. and who are en-
abled to reach these Texas points
az the same rate as that quoted
from the Texas ports by the use Of
Texas and Pacific Railway COM
pany lines and Louisiana, Arkansas,
and Texas Railway. are offering the
majority OF the competition, the
applicants argued.
Strong protest against the pc
tition, which asked for a reduction
in the interstate rates to afford
shippers from Texas ports to the
Texas points a d~ifferential under
the interstate rate from New Or
leans. was voiced BY counsel for the
railroads. who entered a motion
for dismissal OF the petition. ;
The railroad counsel argued that
Texas ports were asking for reduc-
ton rates over which the railroad
commission had no Jurisdiction.
Undue discrimination against in
terstate traffic would be created II
any change in ~intrastate rates were
made by the commission, counsel
argued.
