BY Allen Johnson

BENNINGTON, N. J., Jan. a.
DR.. Alfons Richter, leader of the
German Legion, the Hitherto or
ganization in the United States
which is "unofficially" affiliated
with the Nazi Steel Helmets, ad-
mitted to the Daily Worker today
that only the last-minute interven-
ton of the commander of the
Legion prevented the holding of a
mass meeting on Friday that was to
be addressed by Mrs. Bruno Richard
Hauptmann, wife Of the Nazi ad-
herent who is on trial for the kid
naping and murder Of the Lind
bergh baby.
Richter readily admitted plans
for the meeting when the Daily
Worker asked him to verify a re-
port that a mass meeting to be ad-
dressed by Mrs. Hauptmann was
scheduled to take place in meet
ing place on East 85th under the
auspices of the Legion. He replied
that arrangements for such meet
ing had been made at the regular
meeting of the Legion last night
but that they had been negated by
a last minute decision of the head
Of the organization.
When a representative of the
Friends of New Germany was ques-
toned in the office of the Hitherto
organization about the reported
meeting, he stated that the meeting
would not be held under the aus
pices of his organization but WOULD
probably" be arranged by the
German Legion.

the masses, is bringing confusion
