CHICAGO, April 30-Dr. William
A. Writ, Gary, Ind, educator, charged
today there was frantic struggling
to conceal the aims of official Wash
ington."
When he went to Washington to
accuse minor and major new dealers"
Of slipping q revolution over on the
country, he met, Writ declared, mot
only stubborn official resistance, but
actual SANDER, intimidation. and
other hindrances that do not rest
we'll with free citizens"
In a speech before an American
Legion group. his first public state
ment since the congressional COM
mittee declared his revolution charges
were "unfounded," DR.. Writ singled
out former Senator Smith w. Brook
hart, Assistant Secretary of Agricul-
ture Rexford G. Tugwell and Speaker
Henry T. Rainey as having made dis
turbing statements concerning the
administration.
Holds Public "Stupefied."
There are those who have ac-
cuseo me of looking under the bed
for Reds and bombs" he said. There
is a difference between Red-baiting
and keeping watch on actual hap
penings in Washington.
"Only the weight Of opinion Of the
people at large can change the ap-
parent direction Of the course now
being laid down for them by the au-
thorities in Washington. Public SEN
timent IS at present stupef1ed
by the rosy and vague verbiage used
by the brain trust to conceal the des-
tination toward which We are being
rushed by so-called emergency legis-
lation."
DR.. Writ implied that Government
officials" have blocked rather than
aided recovery. I'VE actually had re-
covery in 1888" he declared, "and
destroyed It,"
I'VE lost our recovery during Au-
gust, 1888, and have not regained it. !"
The new dealers stated they did
not want that recovery: they wanted
to wait for their own type because 1t
would be more substantial.
Calls Policy "Deplorable."
Private industry cannot possibly
assume the burden of restoring jobs
to the unemployed SO long as Govern
ment officials are actually placing OBJ
stacles in their way. have not
called this treason, but I do consider
1t most deplorable
DR.. Writ made no reference to the
half dozen brain trust satellites
whom he named as revolution makers
when he was before Congress. He
quoted former Senator Brookhart as
saying his own farm bill was in itself
a revolution, and repeated his state
ment that Speaker Henry T. Rainey
predicted last Fall that the Govern
ment would shortly take over certain
industries"
A new name appeared today on the
II call your attention to Rose
Schneiderman," he said, who, ! un-
derstand, is now in the Virgin Islands
in the interest of q Socialistic expert
ment of the brain trust. The Amer
lean people should ask for an ex-
PLANTATION Of the plan there"
Sees Revolution Ahead.
DR.. Writ declared natly, I'VE have
gone to the left. A" Certainly We
are on our way with a revolution
by means of evolution and there Is no
limit to how far We can CO."
AS for the question Of who called
President Roosevelt the "Kerensky of
the American Revolution" a major
issue in the Writ investigation, DR..
Writ today quoted a magazine writer
as having written that the President
had half jokingly" referred to him
self that way.
Today he told what he said Ray
mond Moley heard George w. Chris
tians say to the President in 1882.
Christians said to the President
elect that he was the Kerensky of q
new revolution and would have to
make way for a stronger dictator of
the Lenin type, who would lead an
American economic revolt.
Christians said he told Mr.. Roose-
velt If you move to the third stage
Of the revolution, the Lenin Dictator
ship stage, you'll be the first man to
do So The President-elect replied:
"'Well. Oliver Cromwell did it'll"
Back again to the subject Of how
he Jared before Congress, Writ said:
Quotes Tugwell.
"Was it the fear that the American
people would insist upon the right of
free speech and an explanation of
legislation that caused the recent
tremendous effort to divert public at
tention away from the question?
rs that why Senator Reed was not
permitted to act as counsel? Is that
why it was announced that no review
Of the recovery program would be
permitted"
DR.. Writ quoted Tugwell for nearly
a third Of his speech, which was
made at an American Legion luncheon
According to the record, DR.. Tugwell
thinks that complete economic plan
ming means socialism, the destruction
of business, the undoing of q century
or more Of effort and . submission
without resistance of politicians, the
orists, business men. farmers, labor
ers, industrialists and defenders Of
the Constitution.
Believes Plans Unworkable.
"I am alarmed when I am told that
we must have the brain trusters' eco
nomic planning. and that If it does
not work it will be because the plan.
ming has not been extended fal
enough. I believe the plans of the
brain trusters are unavoidable anc
that they can be made to work only
