Despite rigid cross-examina-

tanned his reputation of alleged
confessions he robbed and killed
Howard Carter Dickinson, New
York attorney and nephew of
Chief Justice Charles Evans
Hughes.
Twice the foppishly dressed de-
PENDANT said, concerning the al.

81 lied because I was threat

Shaken only on minor points,
Schweitzer today reiterated his
story that the late attorney shot
and killed himself after a drinking
party in a local hotel with Schweit-

Schweitzer said he lied through
fear in his alleged confession.
stating the revolver was in a front
pocket of the automobile. The
statement conflicted with his
direct testimony yesterday that
Mr.. Dickinson had the weapon in
the back seat.
Again he admitted lying for
the same reason when he stated
in his confession he threw the
gun in bushes in Rouge Park after
the shooting. The weapon was
thrown into a river, he said.

ZENGE PLEADS

fearful Mrs. Bauer
.Testifies Before
Grand Jury

CHICAGO, Aug. 6 GN.SJ.
Vaudeville Zenge pleaded not
guilty to the mutilation murder
of DR.. Walter j. Bauer when he
was arraigned in Criminal Court
today.
Meanwhile prosecutors took Mrs.
Louise Schaffer Bauer, his former
fiancee, before the grand jury
Mrs. Bauer testified for 80 min
utes before the jury, frequently
weeping. The State hoped through
her testimony to establish mo-
tive for the murder of her hus-
band and obtain an indictment
against Zenge.
Zenge UnwOrried
The Stoical Zenge, haggard
after several days of intense police
grilling, admitted to questioners
that he was kind of worn out"
He broke his surly silence for the
first time today when he was told
Mrs. Bauer was to testify before
the grand jury. EVincing no sur
prise, he said:
I'm not a bit worried about
that. 1 don't know what she
could tell the jury that would
hurt me.
81 naturally had a little Ill
hn nnnfnR hN1f
didn't hold it against Louise. I
honestly felt that wanted her
to be happy"
HER LOVE COOLED
To question as to how long
before her marriage his sweet
heart had attempted to break
with him, he answered:
II never noticed any particu-
lar change. A few days before
her wedding, l thought some
thing was wrong, though. She
was sort of cool, but she never
gave me any explanation.
"When l found out she had
married the Doctor, felt pretty
bad. 1 wanted to get away from
it all, SO l came to Chicago"
Zenge is charged with kidnapping
DR.. Bauer from his Ann Arbor
CMichD hotel July %, forcing the
chemist to drive to Chicago where,
early the morning of July 20 in a
lonely alley on the far Southside,
DR.. Bauer was tied hand and foot
and crudely mutilated with a pen
knife.
The motive, as advanced by
prosecutors, was Zenge's loss of
his childhood sweetheart and
fiancee to DR.. Bauer, whom she
met through her duties as night
superintendent of nurses at a
Kirksville hospital and whom she
married three days before her
scheduled marriage to Zenge.

His Porcupine Trap

Radical Third Party
Remains Hidden Here
international News Service

1nGSFHhtIOm8A news service
Political leaders were somewhat
mystified today over reports from
Moscow that a radical third party
has already been formed in the
United States, under communist
auspices, to challenge the suprem-
acy Of the two old parties.
If such a party has been formed
It appears to have successfully
hidden its light under a bushel,
according to those who keep a
check on minority political move
mentS.
The communist party in Amer
lea as such was described before
the Communist Internationale at
Moscow last week as comprising
approximately $4,000 persons. The
estimate was supplied by William
z. Foster, acknowledged leader of
the communist party in this coun-
try, and a delegate to the Moscow
convention.
The reference to a new party"
made by Georgi Dmitroff was not
believed to have been in connec.
ton with the already existent
communist party, but possibly to
the Farmer-Labor party which has
obtained a foothold in the North
west. The platform which it adop-
ted in Minnesota a year ago is
considerably advanced, and advo-
Gated some of the PRINCIPLES
enunciated by Dmitroff, such as
reduction or cancellation of farm

FARLEY QUITS
P.0. T0PUSH
CAMPAIGN
Thus Say Observers,
Noting Tide Started
ByLiberty League
BY EARL GOODWIN

with President Roosevelt racing
mid-term political storm becom-
ing more serious as the days go
by, Washington observers today
hear that Postmaster General
Farley is going to step down from
his Post Office and Cabinet job
much earlier than anticipated.
In fact, today's rumor is that
he will be out of the Cabinet
and into the political campaign
up to his knees by the middle Of
October.
If this occurs. it seems likely
that the Democratic high COM
mand intends to speed up its
counter-offensive against the very
strong tide set in motion by the
American Liberty League.
Democratic politicians say they
are having much more trouble
with the league than with the
Republican National Committee;
and they attribute this to the
assumption that the American
Liberty League is well financed.
Hasn't Much Money
The Democratic National Com
mittee is not overburdened with
money; nor is the Republican Ma
tional Committee. Neither of
these organizations is seeking an
opportunity to start a slap-bang
presidential campaign this early
in the game.
But, regardless of the rather
calm assurance that the Demo-
Gratis at headquarters exhibit over
the results in November, 1886
more than a year hence-there
are others close to the voters who
think it is high time that some
thing be done to stop the deStruc-
tive criticism now smothering the
New Deal
A recent social gathering Of
Democrats from the East developed
the opinion that President Roose-
welt will not be able to carry a
single State in New England; that
he has lost New York, PennSyl-
Vania, and West Virginia.
Sure Of Pennsylvania
On the other hand, Democrats
at headquarters of the Democratic
National Committee say boldly
that President Roosevelt will
carry Pennsylvania more easily
than he did in 1882, when the
Keystone State went Democratic
for the first time in years.
Also, that West Virginia, which
sent Rush Holt to the Senate be-
fore he was of senatorial age, on
radical, anti-power trust platform,
is not likely to go back on the
New Deal, responsible for an ap-
probable farm boom, in addition
to receiving great benefits from
PWA. These are mentioned as
sample conflicting reports.
Give President Edge
Reports from the wide open
spaces still give the President a
good edge politically, especially
with the assumption of hook-up
between the South and West.
Within a brief time it will be
known whether or not the Presi-
dent is going to make a sharp
drive on the big power companies.
Rumor has it that if Congress
does not pass a fairly sharp death
sentence" on the holding COM
panies, President Roosevelt may
veto the measure and go out on
the stump with a widespread ap-
peal in favor of publicly owned
power and reduction of the large
holding mpanies to mere
shadows.
In this he is likely to have warm
support from liberals and Western
and Northwestern groups, who are
right now hungry for cheap power.

DEP0SIT0RIES
HELD ENEMY
OF PEOPLE
Communists See Need
Of Counteracting
Fascism Here

MOSCOW, Aug. 6 QN.S0-The
keynote of future Communist &C.
tivities in the United States will
be formation Of a third party
aimed almost solely at destruc-
ton of blanks and trusts" which
the Reds term "the chief enemies
Of the people"
This was disclosed today with
official publication Of the CON-
plete text Of a sensational address
delivered to the Congress Of the
Communist International last
week by Georgi Dmitroff. de-
PENDANT in the famous Reichstag
fire trial in Germany and now a
top leader of the Communist
party in Russia.
Dmitroff's address was the prin-
cipal report of the entire con-
gress. It outlined a plan for a
"united front" of workers and
peasants" in the United States in
q party mot necessarily socialistic
or communistic, but distinctly
anti-Fascist and distinctly not
anti Communist"
Urge Negro Equality
Equality for Negroes, cancella-
ton of farm debts, unemployment
insurance, and land for Negroes
are among the chief aims of the
platform outlined. Land for poor
whites" also is an object.
Dmitroff made the surprising
inference that a move to form
such a party already is under way
in America under Communist
sponsorship. He said:
"Our American comrades
have done rightly by taking the
initiative in forming such .
party. Now we must see that
such q party will be the real
work of the masses.
ut must be discussed at
popular meetings, and its crea-
ton must be a wide mass move
ment. We must particularly
watch in order to prevent the
initiative from falling into the
hands of those who wish a
third party against the Com
muniStS."
CITE FASCISM SPREAD
Among the reasons cited by
Dmitroff for formation of such a
party was an alleged spreading of
fascism in the United States. He
said:
ut is essential that American
prOIetarianS Immediately with
draw all their forces from the
capitalist parties. Creation Of
q mass party of workers and
peasants is necessary under
present American conditions"
Admitting fasciSm in the
United States was not an imme-
date danger, Dmitroff contended
it might become such in the fu.
ture. He said:
Large masses are beginning
to leave the bourgeois parties
and they are now at the cross
roads. American faSciSm is at
tempting to divert the diSsatis-
fled masses into Fascist chan
neIs.
"A special character of Ameri-
can faSciSm is that it operates
under the mask of opposing
fascism as an anti-American
current, and it attempts to
show itself as a fighter for the
American Constitution and de.
mOcracy.
eff it succeeds in getting to
the wide body of dissatisfied
tOiIing masses it may become
q serious danger in the near
future A victory for fascism
certainly would mean an in
crease in exploitation and break
ing down of the workers, and it
would change materially the en-
tire international situation"
