HOODLUMS TRY TO
BREAK Up MINOR
MEET AT HINSDALE
Pay-triots Fail In Attempt; /;
Meeting Is Rousing
Success
By a Farmer Correspondent

HINSDALE.-When more than
200 people attended the lecture on
che Soviet Union given by Robert
Lee Minor, Baltimore seaman, here
last Thursday at the Majestic the
atre, a number of hoodlums of the
100 per cent American type tried
10 break up the meeting.
While Minor was in the middle
Of his speech and the crowd was
warming and becoming more and
more interested, all of a sudden
the lights went out and somebody
started throwing ripe tomatoes at
the stage from which the young
seaman was speaking. In a mo-
ment the theatre was thrown into
confusion, chairs were upset and
people were trying to get out of
the dark hall. Only through the
presence of mind of some U.F.L
members and other people equipped
with flashlights, was damage and
injuries avoided and order restored
By the time the lights had beer
turned on again, most of the crowC
had left the building, but no soon.
er had the seats been re-arrangeC
everybody had returned and the
meeting continued.
Applaus Greets Speaker
If up until this time the meet
ing had been progressing leisurel!
enough, it was different now
Again and again the speaker wa
interrupted by enthusiastic ap
plause and the lecture turned ou
to be a great success.
Minor gave them a piece of hi
mind. He explained he had serv
ed in the U. S. navy, that he ha,
been around the world severa
times but that he had to come
this little ierk-wa' er town to hav
tomatoes thrown at him. H
pointed this out as the attitude G
IOO per cent pa riots who were ur
able to reason and too narrow
minded to notice anything ne7
when they saw it. Minor ais
pointed out the instigators of thes
hoodlum activities, stating that
all those cases the authorit ie
American Legion officials and rt
dictionary businessmen were in IL
back of it, hiring buns and hooC
lums to break up meetings.
This was one time where the
did not succeed. His report on h
experiences in the Soviet Unic
was thoroughly apprecia'e ed by IL
audience of more than 200 farm
ers and workers.

CHICAGO.-More than 100 far
mers, farm workers and farm wo-
men, delegates to the Second Con-
gress Against War and Fascism
held a special session Saturday
evening on "the fight against war
and fascism in the countryside"
It was pointed out that the rural
districts are call too frequently
the breeding. ground for fascism,'
and that vigilantes and ether fas-
cist gangsters are attempting to
build up and that the racketeering
agents Of Big Business are seek
ing to recruit fascist army from
among the farmers, farm workers
and small-town workers. For this
reason, great Importance was at
tached to this special sub-session.
Special Resolution
This danger, together with the
fact that the organizations of far
mers and farm workers are at
tackled by deputies, thugs and fas-
cist gangs, was pointed out in a
special resolution drawn up by the
farm sub-session and submitted to
! oA laO1n
Alfred Tiala, president of the
United Farmers League. who was
elected chairman of the sub-ses-
sion, declared in opening the meet
ing that there were special prob
lens in the rural districts regard
; ing the fight against war and fas-
. cism. What was necessary, he de-
clared, was that a plan of action
designed specifically for the rural
districts should be worked out.
Fascist Attacks
The farm delegates discussed
fascism with more than usual in
terest because a large number Of
them had onlv recently been face
= to face with fascism in the coun-
try-side. They tackled the prob
lem with grim earnestness.
Bert Sell of Valley county, Ne
braska, for instance, has only re.

thugs attacked a farmers mass
meeting at Loup City. The South

ROUGH WEATHER
CAUSES KAHLER
"a TO DEFER TRIP
HISTORICAL tee HNIcIAN
HAD PLANNED TO LEAVE
TODAY FOR INSPECTION
TRIP To DRY ToRTUGAs

Wind and reported rough seas
between Key West and Dry Tor
tugas kept Herbert Kahler here
today. being unable to make his
proposed trip to Tortugas.
Mr.. Kahler, who is historical
teehnieian for the national park
service of the Department of the
Interior came to Key West after
negotiations were started for the
transfer of Fort jefferson from
the Navy Department to the In
terror Department.
Accompanied by Mrs. Kahler,
he has been here the past few
days awaiting Accommodations for
the trip to Tortugas, and last
night the trip was set for today.
Professionally, and apparently
personally. he is interested in
Fort jefferson and its POSSIBLE
ties. but is hesitant to express his
opinions relative to its preserva-
ton and development as a point
of interest for tourists until aft
er he has made the trip and seen
the historic old fort for himself.
The trip probably will be made
within the next few days if the
winds moderate.

Juan Del Pine Sentenced To
Forty Years In Penitentiary

In one instance. two men were
convicted Of vicious, malicious,
coId-blooded murder By two fed
eraI officials, of an innocent,
harmless citizen whe was quietly
proceeding to spend Sunday with
his family. The offense might wen
have carried the death penalty.
I'm this case the defendant.
Juan del Pine, was lately convict
ed and the verdict showed that it
was the intention of the jury to
convict him of murder in the first
degree with recommendation for
mercy. which would have carried
the penalty of Imprisonment for
life.
THE purpose Of furnishing con-
victed felons is not revenge or
vindietiveness. nor am ! quite
ready to accept the contention Of
some. that the reformation Of the
prisoner is the chief desiderztnm.
"a person with homicidal inl-
pulses is a public enemy and an
enemy to society, and one Of the
purposes of punishment is to sep
arate him from his fellow men, 50
that he may have no further OPP
portunity to indulge his homicidal
impulses. for sufficiently long
time to remove, calm or cool those
impulses.
To Make Example
Another reason for punish
ment is to make it an example to
all others in like cases offending,
or who, under like circumstances,
might be inclined similarly to Of
fend. The punishment should be
severe enough to warn others that
If they similarly offend, speedy
and dire punishment awaits them
in minor offenses, particularly
such as are merely msla prohibita,
light sentences may and perhaps
should be imposed, with no loss to
society; but where human life is
involved, and where the facts and
circumstances of the homicide
evinee a depraved mind regardless
OF human life. a severe penalty
should be imposed.
ssYou have been found guilty by
jury in this court of the crime
Of Murder in the Second Degree.
and the court therefore adjudges
you to be guilty of that crime.
and it is the judgment of the court
and the sentence of the law that
you, Juan Del Pine. for the crime
for which you have been con-
victed. be imprisoned by confine-
ment in the state prison at hard
labor for a term of forty l40l
years"
Attorney Harris filed a praecipe
for a writ of error, and scire

court. He was granted 65 days in
which to prepare a bill OF exeep-
tons.

AAA. FERA and all the other
alphabetical groups Of the -neu
deal" have at one time or another
come in for scathing criticism.
but CCc has been singularly spar
ed. Aside from the charges Of
graft in the purchase Of toilet
kits for members Of the corps in
the early stages Of organisation,
no serious criticism has seen made.
The reason IS easily understand
able. CCC. a new and hitherto
untried experiment on a national
scale, has proved q Godsend- Il
apparently has solved admittedly
one of the gravest and most I'M
portant problems to face the coun-
try during the period of depres-
sion.
$4,000 Enroiled
A casual glance at the repurt
submitted TO the president By Rob
ert Fechner. director. covering
the first Is months Of CCC opera
ton offers convincing proof for
its existence.
During that period Fechner es-
Inmates that some 850,00o young
men, war veterans and Indians
had been enrolled in CCC camps
over the country. The authorized
strength of the corps at the pres
ent IS $4,000, but the personnel
is changing constantly. Fechner
estimates that approximately 1e.-
600 of the men are leaTing the
camps each month to reenter in
dustry, business and the farm.
The cost of the experiment To
the government for the year and
a half Of operation has been S44s,-
100000 OF this amount S136.-
0o0. 00e has been paid in wages.
Of which S11S.000,000 found its
way to the families or dependent
Of members of the corps
Skeptics Convinced
If President Roosevelt s. de-
termined to make the CCC in
some form or another permanent.
and apparently he is, ne probably
win encounter little difficulty IL
obtaining approval Of congress.
Those who were skeptical al
the start as wei as those Who
openly ridiculed the idea in con-
gress have remained TO become
convinced of its effectiveness. In
all probability the president can
write his own ticket as far as sen
stors and representative are con
eerned.
Not even those who. like Senator
Huey Long of Louisiana. derisiVe-
" termed the CCC a "bunch Of
sapling planters" are apt TO stand
in the way.
