Lundeen Says Program
Provides Security
For Bankers

Senators and Representatives,
feeling the mighty pressure of the
workers support of their own bill
the Workers Unemployment, Old
Age and Social Insurance Act, HR.
1927, continued yesterday to attack
the Roosevelt Social Security" pro-
gram.
Senator Nye of North Dakota said
of the Wagner-Lewis fraud: ut is
just bit of cheese in a trap to
catch the mice-such a program
should go far beyond the Presidents
suggestion"
Senator King of Utah said: THE
whole thing is poppycock"
Representative Lundeen of Min
nesota declared that THE Roose-
welt administrations Wagner-Lewis
Economic Security Bill like so
many of the New Deal measures,
provides added security for the
bankers and industrialists who are
firmly opposed to the Workers I'm
employment, Old Age and Social
Insurance Act"
Senator Wagner, who introduced
the Roosevelt measure, said in
widely publicized statement, There
is not a single dictate of business
judgement that has been neglected
in framing this legislation"
Senators Borah and McNary, Re
publicans, and Representative Nc
Groarty, Democrat, who introduced
the Townsend Old Age pension plan
into the House, declared that the
Roosevelt measure was totally in
adequate. Borah said: IT am not
satisfied to make an outlay of near
ly a billion dollars for ornaments
and SIS for old age"
The National Joint Action Com
mittee, which was elected at the
recent National Congress for Unem-
ployment Insurance, and the Ma
tional Unemployment Councils will
send representatives to Washington
to oppose the Wagner-Lewis Bill at
the hearings to be held before the
House Ways and Means Committee
today.

on all important questions dealing
with important changes in the i'm
mediate tactical line we're adopted
with complete unanimity. This is
clearly a result of the growth of
the political understanding of the
Party and especially the political
growth of the leading cadres of the
Party. But above all it must be
emphasized that this unity of po-
litical understanding not only of
the main strategical line and all
questions of principle but also on
the difficult questions of the work

of all the Party leaders and func-

and the correct carrying through of
the principles of democratic CEN
tralism in the Party.
The conviction and understanding
of the line of the Party was wrought
in the very fire of the class struggle.
This unity of will and action of the
Party is in contrast to the inner
difficulties and diSintegration in the

Hearst-controlled N. Y. Mirror, that
newspaper asserted yesterday.
Reilly named three Of the four
persons yesterday whom he charges
with the kidnapping and murder of
the Lindbergh's child. According
to Reilly, they are: Ollie Whately,
Lindbergh's butler who died sud
denly soon after the kidnapping;
Violet Sharpe, Mrs. Lindbergh's
mothers maid, who committed
suicide as she was about to be ques-
toned by police concerning her
whereabouts on the night of the
kidnapping, and Isidor Fisch, Jewish
furrier who died in Germany last
March under circumstances which
led hospital officials there to be-
lieve that he may have been muir
dered. In pursuance with his agree
ment with Hearst, Reilly divulged
the name of the fourth person who
is alive, to the Hearst papers, which
will publish it on the day that
Reilly makes the formal accusation
in court.

Scottsboro attorney who has been
employed by Hearst to help the
slow-witted Reilly defend the
Nazi defendant, said yesterday in
