Boston, Oct. 15-(UP)--Presiden John F. Gatelee of the Massachu- sets branch of the American Fed- eration of Labor today called upon the Rev. Charles F. Coughlin to re- move his priestly robes If you con- ,tinue to be true representative sof Joe Stalin of Russia. Tn 600-word open letter tr the Detroit priest, who left here only late Tuesday, Gatelee stated that CoughIin, through recent utteraTc- es, had proven quite coriclusiyely that you are q more fervent c0m- munist than even Earl Browder himself"
 Weak, Futile Efforts
 .'when have had nothing else to do," Gatelee wrote, T have nsten- ed to some of your talks, and let me state that as Q result of your re- cent utterances, most thoroughly disapprove. both of you and the principles which you espouse. Your attempt to stigmatize President Roosevelt with the brand of com. munism is probably one of the weakest and most futile efforts you have made in Q long series of abor- tive attempts.
 T think you have proven quite conclusively that you are a more fervent communist than even Earl Browder himself. I base that as- sertion on your alleged statement that you were in favor of bullets If ballots didn't prevail. No died- in-the-wool communist would fail to agree with those sentiments.
 Destroyer Of Characters
 "You have attempted to destroy the character of outstanding men in public and secular affairs, in whom the American people repose the deepest confidence and for whom they have the highest re- spect. This attempt is truly in line with the policy of the com munist.

FALSE ALARMS CAUSE ARREST OF ONE YOUTH Carl LORussO, I9 Year Old Bishop Street Lad
 Will Be Tried FOUR ALARMS IN
 HOURS BEFORE DAWN l2 Companies of Fire De- pertinent Spent Night of
 Wearied Chasing

Four false alarms which brought 12 companies of fire men during the early morn ing hours today were charged by police to Bart LoRusso, 19, of 290 Bishop street. The youth was picked up on suspicion at 4::30 a. m. by Motor Patrolman Thomas Phelan. Questioned at head quarters he denied ringing in the false alarms, but police claimed he could not account for his actions during the night and held him for arraignment in city court tomorrow morning.
 Bremen spent a hectic night as they answered the false calls. The first false alarm was rung in at 2:S3, from Box 152, on Dikeman street. The next came more than an hour later, at 3:52, from Box 253, at East Farms and St. Paul streets. The third was rung in at 4:0i, from Box 32S, at Washington avenue and Railroad Hill street. Firemen, almost frantic by this time, were called out by Q fourth false alarm only seven minutes later, this call coming at 4:08 from Box 64, at Hamilton avenue and Silver street.
 Changes His Story
 Police said that after LoRusso had been picked up and placed under questioning he claimed that he had been working all night, but changed his story when taken to the fac- tory where he claimed he had been employed. He was first booked on suspicion, but the charge was later changed to ringing false fire alarms, and the youth will be presented in court on that count tomorrow.
