Bernard AIDES.
LID. LAWYER,
To Go on Trial

BALTIMORE, Nd, Dec. 3.-Ber-
nard AIDES, international Labor De-
Tense attorney, will go on trial in
disbarment proceedings, before the
local bar association, Dec. 5, for his
militant defense of Negro workers
framed up in the local lynch
courts. The charges against AIDES
are connected with his vigorous
fight to save Fuel Lee, framed Ne
gro worker, from legal lynching.
AIDES has challenged the right of
the association to try him, on the
ground that it refuses membership
to Negro attorneys.
He will be defended in the trial
by Joseph Brodsky, chief I. L. D.
counsel, with whom Benjamin j.
Davis, Dr. Negro I. L. D. attorney,
will be associated in the defense.

leaders of economy, culture, science,
government and the Party express
the deepest sorrow at the great
loss.
In a leading article Pravda, organ
of the Communist Party Of the So
Wet Union, writes:
"All eyes are directed toward the
banks of the Neva where occurred
the death Of the great and burning
tribune of the revolution, the SOL
der. the Communist Party leader
and organizer of the glorious Lenin-
grad proletariat.
Great Work Hailed
1--WE don't want to believe that the
voice of this inspired Communist
agitator is silent forever, that we
shall not hear his voice again at
Party congresses, at meetings of
workers, where the big and small
porblems of our great and wonder
full times are decided. The echoes
Of his splendid speech at the Seven
teenth Congress Of the Communist
Party of the Soviet Union still
sound in the country:
"'Our successes are really ire
mendous. In truth one wants to
live and i've"
1.-THE echo of the loud ovation
given by the Congress to Comrade
Kirov still rings through the Krem-
lin Palace. The country has lost
the best peoples tribune in this
fearless flaming revolutionary, the
nearest colleague, disciple ar1d
friend of the great Stain. 1t is diff
ficult to believe that death has put
it's mask on this face carved OF
granite-the reflection Of the firm
ness. staunchness and loyalty of the
banner of Communism, the loyalty
OF the closest interests of the toll
ers.
but the fact is memorable. Kiro1
is no more. The vile hands Of the
enemy have cut a golden thread in
the fabric of the revolution. Enc
mics still creep into the camp o.
the revolution, so that by pitiful
shot from behind they think they
can strange the roar Of history
Such enemies are thrice accurse6
and despicable, thrice detestable anc
doomed.
1.-THE revolution is invincible. The
revolution is deathless. The fight.
ing commander has fallen, but the
feminist staff remains. The sen
tinel has fallen, but the army re-
mains, the army of fighters fol

Together with Leningrad the en-.
tire country bows its barred heat
over the coffin of Comrade Kirov
We will bring his coffin to Moscow
to the capital of socialism, to Rec
Square. to the meusoleum Of Lenir
the liberator Of mankind, to tn,

fighters for the cause of the worker

of Commerce told "a mythical story
of 100000 Communists in the
United States plotting to overthrow
the government"
Vests speech is the opening gun
in campaign to fan new wave Of
terror against workers organizations
on the coast. This is particularly
in line with the steps being taken
to break the street car strike here.
Sounding the keynote for the fas-
cist drive, West said:
This menace today is infinitely
worse than most of us even dream.
All Communists are atheists. They
not only deny the existence Of God,
but they prohibit religious worship.
In Russia they have destroyed the
churches and banished or killed a
large number of the priests"
Such an outburst against reds"
in Los Angeles corresponds almost
in every instance with a strike on
the coast.

HILLBORC EXPLAINS HONEST MISTAKE
Accused Youth Given Dis= charge in Police Court
 By Judge MasCOlO

Conflicting evidence this morn- ing led Judge Edward Mascolo in city court to discharge Norman Oldham, IS, of West Wareham, Mass, on q charge of driving while under the influence of liquor, the lengthy hearing being marked with claims of Attorney George Lynch that the police had given Oldham "raw deal" last Saturday night in
 refusing to let visitors see him at headquarters and in refusing to let him out on bonds till 8 o'clock the
 next morning.
 "The police must have made an
 honest mistake" said the judge, as he granted the discharge, since
 this lad admits having drunk one glass of beer and even the police men say that he drove all right when they were chasing him along
 Hamilton avenue"
 Oldham was arrested by Motor
 Patrolman George McElligott and
 John Meaney, and booked for drunken driving by Sergeant Pat rick Hillborg. The latter, defend
 ing himself against the "raw deaP'
 charge, said that he told friends of Oldham's at headquarters Satur- day night that he would not release the youth till he had sobered up." perhaps about 8 o'clock in the morning."
 Answering direct question of the judges, Sergeant Hillborg said
 that he thought he was using his
 best judgment in not letting any
 one SC Oldham Saturday night. At torney Lynch said that it was planned to have a doctor give the
 boy an examination at headquar-
 ters to see if he was drunk but
 that this idea had to be abandon
 ed when police would not allow anyone to visit the arrested youth.

 The incident occurred on the Emperor's return from war ma neuyers from Mabebashi. In dis grace Honda went to his home and stabbed himself in the neck, ad- herring to the ancient Japanese code that death is the only atone ment for any one who even slightly endangers the sacred body of the emperor.

SPENDING WILL
 | HELP BUSINESS
(continued from Page 1.)

(Continued from Page 1.) 900 more year could be spent for those purposes beginning immedi- ately.
 Oil, steel and other top flight in- dustrialists now have been told pri- vately that:
 1. Large corporate accumula- tions of surplus cash will invite congress to levy new taxes on those reserves unless corporations begin to spend or distribute dividends.
 9. The only way to reduce un- employment relief expenditures is to help create employment.
 Another group of corporations is being urged to utilize bank credit for plant modernization.
 Industrial cooperation will be measured here largely by the ex- tent to which big corporations take the lead in spending for plant mod. ernization and new equipment.
