Mencken Talk Causes Senate

Chairman Van Mugs predicted
that his group would report the

vilized government could "condone
such atrocities. Senator Wagner
asserted that lynchings constitute
almost every type Of infamy that

JAPANESE PLAN

NEW YORK (CNA 1.-THE ex-

cancer"
This statement appeared in a
pamphlet recently issued by the
Press Section of the Japanese Min
istry of War entitled "F'undament-
al Principles of National Defense
and a Plan for It's Strengthening. !"
"An attempt to encourage races
or tribes in the state to be at var
lance with each other" the state
ment continues, "And thus to bring
about the collapse of the State is
part Of the strategy employed in
the conflict of ideas when nations
are actually engaged in war"
In the United States. there are
two organizations, influenced by
Japanese capital, which have large
non-white followings. They are the
Society for the Development of
Our Own and the Pacific Move
ment of the Eastern World. There
are branches of these organizations
located in Philadelphia, st. Louis,
Chicago and Detroit.

COMMUNISTS To
TURN CASE OVER
TO 8. LEIBOW|TE

NEW YORK CAMP Providing
a significant example Of the boast
ed power Of mass pressure" the
international Labor Defense which
for three years has been iit the
forefront Of the defense of the
scottsboro boys, bowed and scrap
ed its way out last week when it
agreed that Samuel Leibowitz
should be substituted in the case Of
Clarence Norris before the United
States Supreme Court IN place Of
osmond K. Fraenkel and Walter
H. Pollak attorneys employed by
the lid.
The action Of the lid is an af-
termath to the rucous caused when
Samuel Leibowitz took the stand
some months ago that he would no
longer be associated with the In
ternational Labor Defense and cri-
ticised its methods. Matters were
brought to a point when two aIleg-
ed representatives Of the Commun-
list affiliate were arrested IN Nash
vile and charged with trying to
bride one Of the prosecution wit
nesses, Victoria Price, in the case.
Committee Organized
A group Of churchmen then or
ganized the American Scottsboro
committee and retained Leibowitz.
The next few months were con-
sumed In charges and counter
charges passed between the LID
and the American Committee. Each
group accused the other Of att.
tempting to force the boys to re-
tain them. The boys themselves.
in a quandary, switched from one
group to the other, and. for while
it looked as though the lid had
been successful in eliminating Lei
bowitz and the American Commit
tee.
In the meantime, however, the
American Committee laid some
quiet plans to exert some of the
now famous mass pressure" on
the LID and the lawyers selected
by them. The irresistible effect of
this pressure became known thru
certain important leaks last week,
when it was noised, around that
rather than have any scandal, the
Messrs. Fraenlel and Pollak would
step aside for the moment.

Study Reveals CoIored and
White intelligence Is Equal

so do the sco-es of those examin-
ed approximate more and more
closely the standards set by the
whites he said. There is evil
dence that a large part, If not all,
of the retardation of children in
the New York schools is due to the
presence among them of a large
number of newcomers from the
South.
1.-THE conclusion, according to
DR.. Klineberg. sis justified that the
superior showing of these subjects
who have had a longer period Of
residence, is due to longer re-
sidence, and not to any regular
change in the quality of the mi
grants
The intelligence quotient Of a
group Of 1O-year-old girls born in
New York, DR.. Klineberg found, is
9S.5, almost exactly at the norm of
white children It is said that the
