ing vindictive conception OF
"Americanism"
Authorities promised to file MUIR
der charges against nine of the Is
today. They took part, police said,
in the execution of Charles A.
Poole, 80, a WPA worker who had
been charged and convicted by the
Legion of beating his wife. He was
stood up at the edge of roadside
ditch and shot.
Police today began an investiga-
ton of relatives and friends of the
16 men, believing they would not
only find more members of the Sc
cret, night-riding society but victims
of its moral crusade. Detectives be-
lieved nearly all its past victims had
been tied to trees in lonely woods
and logged
Most of the victims, police be-
lieved, were charged with unfaith-
fulneSs to wives, of seducing girls,
ard other moral lapses Though the
literature of the Legion described it
as anti-Jewish, i-Catholic, and
anti Communist, it was not believed
that it had taken direct action any
individual of those groups for his
religious or political beliefs alone.
Poole Innocent of Charges
Police believed the victims of the
legion had been taken largely from
among relatives and acquaintance
of it's members. He and his investi-
gators already had determined that
Poole was innocent of the charge for
which the legion tried and executed
him. His wife, who gave birth to a
son the day after. he was slain, said
he never had beaten her. Authori-
ties of Herman Keiffer Hospital,
where she was confined, said her
body had shown no bruises or other
indications of violence.
The Is men held, ranging in age
from 16 to so, all factory workers,
and all seemingly more proud than
afraid, maintained a close-lipped
silence. Police indicated that death
was the groups penalty for men,
bers who told its secrets, and that
the men held were afraid of the
vengeance of others still at large.
He believed that the legion had go
members, and he ordered the arrest
of the other d.
Urban Lipps. 80, one of the men
held, was the most communicative.
He admitted having taken part in
Poole's execution, but said he had
participated in no other Jobs" He
had been member for six months,
he said, and he understood that the
legion had taken care" of a num-
Der of rats"

pected to make the most of the OPP

has announced his withdrawal from
politics.
Without waiting for breakfast, Mr..
Roosevelt went to the room of Mrs.
Roosevelt. who is suffering frac-
tured bone in her leg near the hip.
He found her in excellent spirits
despite the pain of injury and re-
ceived All encouraging report from

sic, who is attending her. DR.. Smith,
however, said she probably would
have to remain in bed for several

Dali, children of his daughter, Mrs.
Anna Roosevelt Boetiger.
Secretary Marvin H. Mcintyre,
who accompanied Mr.. Roosevelt to
Hyde Park, said the engagement
list was clear and that no arrange
mentS had been made for confer
ence between the President and Gov.
Lehman.
If they meet, it is expected the

to retire a distinct threat to Demo-
cratic control of the states stable

NEW YORK, May 23.-Unwanted
glory is all the four Schechter
brothers have left today from their
smashing vistory over the NRA a
year ago.
What is there to celebrate?"
asked Joe, eldest of the four, when
it was suggested that they should
observe the first anniversary of
NRA's downfall at the hands of the
Supreme Court next Wednesday.
I'VE are practically broke" he
said. Our wholesale poultry busi-
ness is bankrupt. Our fathers house
is for sale, in the hands of the bank.
We owe lot of money. We've got
nothing except a small retail store
and lot of nice newspaper clip
pings that aren't convertible"
DO you still feel the same toward
the NRA today as you did a year
ago?' he was asked.
Joe paused. Yes and no." he re-
piled finally. The NRA ruined our
business, when, had it been properly
administered, it might have
saved it,

planned. 1T permitted organizations
to band together into powerful COM
bines to wreck the little fellows. Yet
I honestly believe the NRA could
have been a good thing If there had
been safeguards against just such a
thing as wrecked US"
Now, he said, as he surveyed his
modestly furnished apartment in
Brooklyn, Wen have to start right
from the bottom again."
Aaron Schechter, youngest of the
brothers, saw the NRA decision as
only a pyrrhic victory.
We spent lot of money on that
case and all we got out of it are a
lot of swell letters from a lot of
anti-New Dealers" he said. But
that didn't reimburse us"
Aaron revealed that he and his

Armies never have been bigger

Yet, on the basis of authorita-

seems safe to say that war is most
unlikely this year and perhaps next
year.
Diplomats never have talked more

consolidation of peace. Optimists
argue that Germany will not be

The workers had been using a

that way. Then it was found that
battering on the street was jarring
the main.
If it had been broken and the
area inundated, the city would have
been held responsible, Mr.. Steeg
