''Scrdtch a Liberal "

"CCRATCH a liberal and find a reaction
~ ary." Commissioner of Welfare Will
liam Hodson, the outstanding liberal of
the liberal" La Guardia administration,
heaps praise upon the police sluggers of
defenseless men and women who were pc
titioning for relief, for adequate food and
shelter.
Not content with absoving the Police Depart
ment Of all blame for the brutal clubbing of work
at the May 26 demonstration before the Depart
ment Of Welfare. Hodson in his letter to Police
Commissioner Organ, even finds occasion for ac-
cusing the workers of attacking the police
4 wish to express my appreciation" Hodson
says in his letter to Organ "to you and the men
under your command for the way in which they
have handled very difficult problem" In these
words Hodson openly approves of the police club
bling openly approves of the denial of the elemen-
tary right of the workers to petition More he
encourages further brutality.
Echong the lynch statements of LaGuardia and
the entire prostitute press of New York City, Hold
son continues eve shall take whatever steps neces-
sary to prevent any particular group, whether they
be Communists or others, encroaching upon the
rights and privileges of the citizens generally"
Regarding the riot of May g." the New York
Herald Tribune states he knew from circulars
which the Communists distributed in advance that
they intended to create disorder" If the com
missioner has such leaflets at hand, why does he
not produce them-why does he not quote from
thenn-why this sneaking reference to something
which does not exist? Leaflets were distributed of
course, but not one called upon the workers to
provoke violence.
Hodson, beyond doubt receiving and carrying out
orders which he has received in repeating the at
taeks upon the Communist Party and the IN
employment Councils and the relief organizations,
is attempting to arouse lynch hysteria with the
aim Of crushing and instituting a reign of terror
against all workers who dare to raise their voices
against the sub-starvation standards of Home Re-
lief and work relief. Beyond doubt Hodson as did
LaGusrdia before him is thereby calling on the
city magistrates to inflct savage sentences upon
the workers arrested at the May rs demonstration
