BLANTON LAUDS
HEARST WAR ON
COMMUNISM
Ringing Challenge to "Reds"
to Leave U. S. for Russia
Is Flung by Texan
BY Universal Service

Ringing challenge to congress
sional defenders of communism to
get out of this country and go to
Russia was issued on the House
floor yesterday by Representative
Tom Blanton, fiery Texas Demo
crat.
Blanton, in vigorous debate
with Representative Hoeppel, Cd
Of California, and Representative
Maverick, CD of Texas, twice
brought cheers as he defended
America and the Constitution and
denounced advocates of Soviet
Russia's government.
Praises Hearst Stand
The Texan, who frequently has
differed with William Randolph
Hearst on national policies,
praised the publishers stand
against Communism. He said:
civilian Randolph Hearst
is performing a good service to
b the United States Government,
and that is the fight he is max
ing against communism"
Mr.. Blanton's statement came
after Representative Maverick had
denounced an article in the
Hearst newspapers of last Sunday
by Rear Admiral Stirling discuss
ing Russia. AS Mr.. Blanton
warmed to his argument, he sud-
denly shouted:
SIS there a man on this floor
who advocates what is going on
now in Russia? Because, if
there is, will yield the floor
to him for 1 want to see the
color of his eyes,"
Ought To Go There
Representative Hoeppel asked
that Mr.. Blanton yield for ques-
ton and as Mr.. Blanton demanded
whether Mr.. Hoeppel approved.
what is going on in Russia
now"
The Californian replied:
In reference to Russia, yes"
Representative Blanton shot
back:
"Then the gentleman ought to
leave this House, he ought to
leave California, and he ought
to go to Russia and stay there!"
Cheers swept both Democratic
and Republican sides of the House.
Representative Blanton con-
tinued:
81 am getting tired of hearing
American statesmen in the
American Congress get up here
and preach sympathy for the IN
trying to disrupt every govern
ment on the face of the earth.
1 am not going to lend aid and
encouragement to such enemies
of good government"

ONLY WAY.
To SAVE MIRA,
HECONTENDS
Sees Others Follow Program
OF New England; House
Sanction in Pigeonhole
international News Service

A substitute for the old MIRA,
designed to bring national uni
formity in State laws regulating
hours and wages Of labor, was pro
posed to Congress today by Sena'
tor David I. walsh Cd OF MasSa'
ChusettS.
His resolution simply asks con-
eressional sanction of a compact
already signed by Massachusetts,
and New Hampshire, providing Tor
specific working standards in
hours and wages.
In this compact and in the reso'
luton, said Senator Walsh, lies the
road to accomplishment Of the OBJ
jectives the old Blue Eagle sought.
Only in this way, he argued, can
the nation ever legally provide
wage and hour standards from
coast to coast.
Held in Committee
Earlier in the session a reSolu-
ton providing for general con-
gresSional sanction of all State
compactS of this type was passed
by the House. 1t is now Ian
gushing in the Senate judiciary
Committee, with little chance for
assage. Therefore, Senator
Walsh moved to have the single
New mpshir e-MaSsachuSets
compact sanctioned. He pre-
dicted:
"When this is done, the other
States will see the light. They
will realize the advantages to
be gained.
Here, in my opinion, lies
the substitute for NRA, and the
only proper substitute which
can provide the good detectives
which NRA unsuccessfully
sought"
Senator Walsh plans to call the
Senate's attention to the pact as
soon as the pending voluntary
NRA legislative situation is set
tied. He is prepared to say that
already New England, as a local.
jty, is ready for such a compact.
Other States Held Ready
Although only New Hampshire
and Massachusetts, legislatures
have ratified the compact which
his resolution seeks to sanction.
said Senator Walsh, many other
States are ready to come in.
He added:
"When a few northern States
have ratified and the cOmpactS
have been formally approved by
Congress, we will have started
rebuilding the good portion Of
the no longer existing NRA
Steup."
Although there might be some
delay, he believes that in the end
the South will "go along" in the
movement. Should the South
once join the North in such COM
pacts, he pointed out. there will
be no difficulty in getting the rest
of the States to join. He said:
II believe that, in time, these
cOmpactS will embrace all States,
and provide a real uniformity
of wages and hours. In that
way, we will immeasurably aid
both labor and industry"

A COMMUNIST CANARD.

According to J. Moissaye Olgin, editor of ERE
theft" New York Communist Yiddish daily, writ
ing to "Pravada, I" the Moscow Communist daily, on
party grogress in America, Harlem is inhabited
by a backward, ignorant mass of 100000 Negroes
who live in hunger, poverty and disease" "Thous-
ands of these Negroes now say Father Divine is our
God, but James Ford is our political leader. Or
ganization is being carried on in the churches"
If this were written in a sensational capitalist
newspaper, it would OCCASION no surprise, but for
some reason we had expected something better
from the Communists. The capitalist press says that
Harlem is the Intellectual capital Of the Negro
world, while the capitalist census figures show that
the literacy rate for Negroes in New York City is
higher than for the white population.
Most Americans, black or white, are poor, but
it is doubtful if many, black or white, in New York
are living in hunger, and surely a study Of the NOR
tally and m~orbidity rates for Negroes will not re
veal that they are Giving in disease" There is
sickness and death in our midst, but the vast ma
jority Of Negroes are well in mind and body.
Negroes are not so ignorant that they will not
resent this Communist description Of their life and
activities in the largest colored community in the
world. They will wonder how Communists expect
to win the favor Of colored people when they cir
culate such obvious canards. And just how much
truth is there in the report Of Mr.. Olgin that Negro
churches are being used by the Communists for or
ganizatiOnal purpOses?"

LINCOLN STOOD FOR CONSTITUTIONAL
GOVERNMENT.

A short time ago the nation observed Lincoln's
Birthday. 1t would be a fine thing for the country
if American citizens gave a little time to ponder
ing the ideals and principles for which the martyred
President stood.
Lincoln was the embodiment Of true democracy.
No man was ever more passionately devoted to 1iber-
ty to freedom, to destroying human bondage Of
whatever kind. His was a loyalty to country that
went beyond party, beyond partisan politics-and
that would willingly make any sacrifice in order
that the nation might endure, progress and prosper.
No task was too great, no duty too e~xacting, if it
would help to preserve and maintain those endur-
ing principles laid down by the founders Of the
country in the United States Constitution.
During four years of unparalleled national crisis,
Lincoln was the rock that could not be swayed by
mob sentiment, by fear, by the lust for power, by
the desire for personal gain. No man ever possess
ed a greater hatred for war-yet Lincoln went into
the civil war deliberately, knowing that tragic as
the waste of men and resources would be, it was
essential to the preservation of the Union. Between
1860 and 1864 America stood at the crossroads-and
Lincoln drove relentlessly forward on the course
that meant the continuance of liberty, democracy,
and Constitutional principles.
The issues that surrounded Lincoln have passed,
but the characteristics of the man remain, and will
not be forgotten. In lines like these when SO
called emergency measures threaten the very foun-
dations of our Constitutional government, it is well
to remember Lincoln and his work.
