 Chicago, July 24-(UP)-Fed- eral agents who eradicated mad dog John Dillinger today began an extensive hunt for his hideout, hoping to find remnants of the $300,OO0 he stole from banks and clues to the present whereabouts of his gang of killers.
 The agents were aided by infor- nation obtained from the woman in red who put Dillinger on the spot. They believed the hideout was in the Chicago north side, near the theater where he was killed Sunday night. The outlaw appar- ently had been holedsup for some weeks and the agents hoped to find his quarters before members of his gang got there to destroy evidence.
 The woman in red" was pos sibly aided by d man in her be- trayal for a $15,090 government reward. Reports persisted that they feared immediate underworld vengeance and were being closely guarded by federal agents in a loop hotel.

By Garland Andrews

The unceasing rain of SANDER
directed at the vanguard of the
American working class, the Com
munist Party, by the Hearst gut
ter press, has now taken the form
of libellous MISCONCEPTIONS of
V. /. Lenin, leader of the world
revolutionary movement.
Richard Washburn Child, ac-
knowledged admirer of fascist
Italy and the No. 2 cur in the
Hearst kennel of poisOnous-fang-
ed hounds, sometimes called spe-
cial writer's, recently wrote a
series of lying articles villifying
all Communists, liberals and paci-
fists.
At the top of these articles
was this bald misquotatiOn of
Lenin: "T'he dictatorship of the
prOletariat is nothing else than
power based upon force and lin
tied by nothing-by no kind of
law and absolutely no rule"
And below this is the crudest
boldest lie of all: Hearst and
Child say that this quotation
can be found in Volume XVIII,
on page 3s1 Of Lenin's complete
works. ..

SlanderOus Hearst Press
Brazenly Misquotes Lenin

On page 361, Volume XVIII
of Lenin's complete works there
is no mention made of the die
tatorshjp of the proletariat.
And in no other place in Len
ms writings can be found such
a statement as the Hearst pa
pers have been quoting as
Communism Defined"
Discussing one phase of the
dictatorship of the proletariat,
Lenin explains: 'The Dictator.
ship of the prOletariat is the
fiercest, sharpest and most merci
les war of the new class against
its more powerful enemy, the
bourgeoisie, whose resistance is
increased tenfold by its over
throw" left Communism.)
'The Dictatorship of the pro-
letariat is a stubborn struggle
sanguinary and bloodless, violent
and peaceful, military and econ
omic, educational and admins
trative-against the traditions oil
the old society. LEFT Commun-
ISM.
These are the statements from
which Hearst and Child adapted
their lying quotations, in an eff.
fort to brighten away the work
ers from the Communist Party
and the teachings of Lenin.
