Illegal AUSTRIAN Red Aid's Paper, Tribunal,
Out in Vienna Streets Despite Fascist Terror

NEW YORK.-A copy of one of
the first issues of the illegal "Trib-
unal" organ of the International
Red Aid of Austria austrian IN
ternational Labor Defense), has
just reached New York.
Mimeographed, it was distributed
in several thousand copies in
Vienna soon after the February
massacre. At the top, it shows a
portrait of Georg Weissel, heroic
fire captain of Floridsdorf, Vienna,
who died on the Dollfuss- Heimwehr
gallows saying, Long live the
proletarian revolution"
The first page is given over to
the listing of some of the victims
of the Austrian fascist courts mar
tial. 1t lists nine executed; six i'm
prisoned for life; six to 20 years;
ten to Is years; six to IL years;
four to 10 years, and seven to five
to eight years.
The Austrian Red Aid, illegal
since the summer of 1888, played
the chief role in assisting the VIC
Tins of Austrian fascism from the
very beginning of the February
struggle. Hundreds of Social-Dem-
ocratic workers have enrolled them
selves in it in recent weeks. For
thousands of proletarian widows,
orphans and dependents of the 5000
workers now in the fascist prisons,
it is the chief agency of assistance,
along with the commission of the
world committee of the Interna-
tional Red Aid, which is admins

lars sent from all part of the world

Hitler Rejects
Soviet Bid for
Pact on Baltic
Refuses To Guaranteed
independence of the /
Baltic States

BERLIN, April 26.-The German
press published an announcement
revealing once again the Nazi gov
ernment's determination to carry
out the war against the Soviet
Union which Hitler has often an
nounced, and which Alfred Hugen-
berg, as Hitler's representative
openly announced at the LondorN
Economic Conference last year. 4
The Hitler government announced
that it has rejected the Soviet.
Unions invitation to sign a treaty
guaranteeing the territorial integrity
OF the Baltic states, as an extern
sion of the non-aggression pacts
which the Soviet Union has recent
ly extended to 1945 with these
states.
A spokesman for the German for
eign Office, in announcing that the
Hitler government would not en-
dorse such treaty, added that Po-
land supported Germany in reject
ing the pact, and had also re-
Jected it.
Although Poland and Germany
are not ready to agree entirely yet
on joint action against the Soviet
Union, with which Poland has en-
tered into a non-aggression treaty.
Poland and Hitler's Germany have
signed a far-reaching agreement for
political cooperation, and their re-
lection OF the Soviet's new step to
maintain peace reveals their deter
mlnation to leave themselves free
Tor the time when Poland and Ger
many have succeeded in temporarily
composing their differences in a
solid anti-Soviet front.

Analysing the present strike wave
and the N. R. AS role in sup
pressing strikes, Stachel went on to
outline the steps for the strikers to
pursue in winning their demands.
His proposal to defeat all attempts
of the N. R. A. Labor Board and
A. F. of L. officials to break the
strike was met with storm of
applause.
Unity of the strikers to defeat all
strikebreaking attempts were pre-
viouSly shown on Monday night
when the Labor Board decided to
throw away their hands off" policy
and tried to mediate by claiming
jurisdiction over the union. The
strikers informed the union execu-
tiyes that it could only confer, but
they only will negotiate for final
terms. Following which the board
and company called the meeting off
after the company pleaded more
time to study the situation before
negotiations could be entered into.

The Government filed in the Su-
preme Court today a brief opposing
q review of hsbeas corpus proceed
ings brought by Al Capone to obtain
his release from Alcatraz. where he is
serving a sentence for attempting TO
evade Federal income taxes.
Capone was sentenced to 10 years
Imprisonment and q fine of $4,000.
He began serving the sentence at
the Atlanta Penitentiary May 6, 1882,
but recently was removed to the new
Federal prison on the Pacific Coast.
Contending the prosecution was
barred by the statute of limitations be-
cause it was begun more than three
years after the offense was committed.
Capone sought to obtain a review by
the Supreme Court shortly after his
conviction, but it was refused.
Recently he brought habeas corpus
proceedings in the Federal courts in
Georgia, demanding his release on the
same grounds. Upon the refusal of the
lower courts to release him on habeas
corpus he petitioned the Supreme

NEW YORK, N. Y, September %.

might have been used to puncture

The clip is improvised from short
length Of spring steel. bent in hairpin
shape. Inside, at the end of one of
the arms, is a conical metal point
that apparently has been welded or
soldered to the arm.

Cursory examination of this instru-
ment has revealed that by inserting
several sheets of paper in the ~"
between the arms and depressing the
two sides of the clip, rough hole,
not unlike that found in the ransom
notes. could be made, it is reliably
reported.
The punch-like device was found
late yesterday by officials searching
every nook and Granny in the ran
sacked Hauptmann home in the
Bronx. In what part of the house
the clip was found could not be
learned. The article was taken with
great secrecy to Bronx prosecuting
authorities.
While the punch" If properly
identified by experts, will be impor-
tant evidence against Hauptmann in
the extortion case for which he has
been indicted in the Bronx, it looms
as a vital piece of discriminating evil
dence in the case being built against
the German by New Jersey authorities.
Before the finding of the punch
device the chief evidence linking
Hauptmann to the actual kidnapping
and murder was the handwriting in
the notes. If officials can establish
further that Hauptmann punched the
holes in the notes, the case would
become almost ironclad, it is pointed
out.

Incidentally, it was learned that
Albert Osborn. noted authority on
handwriting identification, examined

osity at the time of the published
disclosures about Condons activities
in the case.
The three little holes found in the
original ransom note on the window
of the baby'S nursery and in all 13
subsequent notes from the kidnapers
were identical and obviously were made
by stacking all the note paper in one
pile and puncturing it simultaneously.
Heretofore it has been the theory that
the holes were made with nail, the
point of sharp file or some similar
instrument.
In the notes John" referred several
times to the three holes" as proof
beyond the shadow of a doubt that he
