Neil McAlIister
In Trial of 'l8'
BY Michael Quinn
Especial to the Daily Worker)

SACRAMENTO, Calf, Jan. 16-
BY special orders Of Attorney-G Gen
eral Webb, acting on the demands
Of California industrialists, former
District Attorney Neil McAllister
and his aides have been retained
for the prosecution of the 18 work
er-defendsnts charged with viola
ton Of the criminal syndicalist laws
because of their working class ac-
tivities. McAllister was overwhelm-
ingly repudiated by the people in
the recent elections here.
Under ordinary procedure, the
prosecution would be conducted by
the new District Attorney, Otis v.
Babcock, but the local business
mems groups and the press started
petition drive when it was inti-
mated that the city could not meet
the additional expenses of $50 a day
to McAllister and each OF his aides
during the period of the trial. Pres
sure was brought to bear upon At
torney- General Webb to appoint
McAllister and his aides as special
prosecutors. McAllister is the chief
tool of the employers in the con-
coction of the frame-up of the Is
workers.
Terror Machine Functions
A terroristic campaign is now be-
ing worked up as a background for
the trial, with the police holding
daily riot drills in the city parks
preparatory to the unemployment
and social insurance. congress here
in February, and the Californit Leg
islature introducing three bills to
illegalize the Communist Party and
put it off the ballot. That the
Communist Party is only the first
target for general onslaught on
the whole working class is shown
by the proposal of several other
bills prohibiting every conceivable
activity of the workers and for the
regimentation of students and pro-
fessors in the universities.
Protests Urged
These bills have been drawn UP
under the supervision of local cham
bers of commerce and other organ
izations of capitalists, and are de-
signed as patterns for other states
in a nationwide drive for legislation
against the working class. Every
organization interested in the de-
Tense of workers rights should rush
protests to the California legisla-
ture and Gov. Frank Merriam.
The proposed legislation equals
that of Hitler Germany, prohibiting
strikes and other struggles by the
working class to better its condi-
tions. The bills conform with the
Hearst pro-fascist campaign. An
attempt is to be made to rush them
through the legislature before pro-
test actions by workers and other
anti-fascistS can be organized. The
legislature has denied press cre%.N.
tials for representative of the
Western Worker to be present at
the hearings.

Investigation Is Asked
Of Press Censorship
By New Deal Leaders

WASHINGTON. Jan. 16.-Strong
hints that the Roosevelt admins
trat On has been exercising influ-
ence on all newspaper publicity on
the N.R.A. were made by Represen-
tative Martin Dies of Texas who
introduced resolution calling for
an investigation.
On these charges that the Roose-
velt government is seeking to spread
a direct censorship of the press,
Speaker of the House Byrns de-
clared that he would not be opposed
to an investigation, but tried to
minimize the need of any real in
vestigation..

Committee of the U. S. S. R. before

Supreme Court of the Soviet Union
All confessed their completely in
counter revolutionary activities
which led to outright assassinations
tions.
Speaking Of his responsibility for
the crime committed on Dec l
1884, the accused Zinoviev testified:
"The progress of events are
such that I must say with bowed
head the anti-Party struggle,
which had assumed in former
years exceptionally acute forms
in Leningrad, could not but pro-
mote the degeneration of these
rogues. This outrageous murder
threw such an ominous light upon
the whole previous anti-Party
struggle that / recognize the Party
is absolutely right in speaking Of
the political responsibility of the
former anti-Party 'Zinoviev' group
for the murder committed"
Zinoviev pleaded guilty, confirm
ing the existence of the center of
the zinoviev group, as well as his
participation therein.
Connected with "Leningrad Center
Today's hearings at 1eningrad
following on yesterdays indictment
of c., Zinoviev, G. E. Edvokimov, A
M. Getrik, M. Y. Bakaev, L. KAN
enev, and others, made clear that
the terrorist "Leningrad Center
had carried on its counter-revolu-
tionary work hand in hand with the
former leaders of the Trotzky-zino-
view group and that the compost
ton of the so-called Moscow Cen
ter" includes Zinoyiev, Evdokimov
Gertik, Bakeyev, A, S. Kuklin, Ka-
menev, j. v, Sharov, G. F. Fedorov
and I. S. Gorshenin.
These had rallied around them
selves the most active members oil
the former anti-Soviet Zinoviey
group, who established regular con-
nections with members of the Len
ingrad group condemned on Dec. 2e
to 90, 1884 by the Military Col
legium of the Supreme Court of the
U. S. S. R. in connection with Kir-
ov's murder.
The preliminary investigation re-
vealed that the so-called Moscow
Center" did not restrict itself only
to maintaining connections with the
Leningrad underground group and
its individual adherents in other
towns, but played the role of a po-
litical center which Systematically
in the course of a number of years
directed the underground counter
revolutionary activities of both Mos
COW and Leningrad groups.
One of the basic tasks of the
Zinoviev counter-revolut 0nary
group headed by the Moscow
Center was preserving "the ac-

Hold up Disposal Of Saar

GENEVA, Jan. is (By Wireless),
The meeting Of the Council Of the
League Of Nations. set for today in
order officially to cede the Saar to
Germany, struck a series of snags
in the struggle Of interests on the
part Of the imperialist powers.
France has thus far refused to give
its consent to the transfer Of the
Ssar without a guarantee that the
territory will be demilitarized and
that no strategic railroads will be
constructed. British industrialists,
who also have seat in the Coun-
cil fear the continuation Of Ger
man aviation construction in the
Saar.
Writing in the Deutsche Zentral-
zeitung here on the Saar plebiscite
and its results. Fritz Heckert, mem
Der Of the Central Committee Of
the Communist Party Of Germany,
declares
"The results are due first to the
unprecedented fascist terror di-
rectly supported by the Saar police
and the fear of reprisals in case
the Saar Joined Hitler Germany.
Second is the equivocal attitude
Of the League National Commits
sion on the question of the rights
of the Saar population. Third is
the reaction TO fifteen years Of
imperialist policy and the occupa-
ton by the powers of pure Ger
man country and the depriving of
the Saar people of their rights,
especially by the exploiting meth
ods of the French mines sdrninis-
ration, which strengthened Ger
man nationalism.
The ballot, therefore. does not
mean the acknowledgement of Hit-
Ter but the return to Germany de-
spite Hitler. The masses did not yet
understand that their decision runs
counter to the liberation Of Ger
many from Fascism. We Commu-
nists waged the most aggressive
struggle against the considerable
accentuat;:l of the war danger,
against the chauvinist fascist offen-
sive and against all possible provo
cations. We shall expose all the
plans of impsrialist agreement with
Hitler, particularly against the
Soviet Union.
Every toiler must increase the
struggle for the support of the Ger
man workers against Fascist meas
ures, against the growing fascist
terror and for the liberation OF
Thaelmann"

Naturally, they are hardly observed by such an illustrious char acter and self-admttcd great statesmen Senator Long They were babes and lost in the woods so far as the veterans all were concerned.
 But came the time that Huey started his famous filibuster against the midget MIRA which ran into some Is hours The youngsters headed by Senator Lewis B. schwenenbach of Washington, arose in unison and told the Kingfish they were tired of his running the Senate. They told him they were going to wear him out and the record reveals they did just that Not only have they got Huey on the run and scratching his head trying to dig up some thing he can against them, but the older members of the Senate have picked up their ears and taken cognizance In these rising young mem bers the leaders possibilities.

 It is good thing that the young members have shown their strength. There has been any logic in the theory that first termers should be sidetracked for after all they the represen- tatves of the people just much as the veterans who have seen 20 years or service The scheme is based on tradition and not much of tradition at that if some of the examples of statesmanship veterans such Huey offer are a criterion.
