G.N.SO.-A warning against paci-

ness, and false propaganda and
unpatriotic ideas which would
shake the foundations of our
democratic form of government,

Assistant Secretary Of War Harry
H. Woodring.
He urged the Legionnaires to
exert their influence Ito guard
against the seeds of national de-

Although there is an urgent
need fl, more aircraft. the United
States Army is now better equipped
than it ever was in peace time,
Woodring said. He added:
"The present appropriations
are in keeping with the program

hoped that when the actual
minimum of adequate national
defense is reached Congress viii!
continue to maintain it so, in
accordance with Americas ira

SENATE LABOR
SHOPPERS TO
FACE TEST

international News service
A determined court fight to test
the power of a Senate committee
in searching the records and
papers of private concern
doomed here today.
The Railway Audit and Inspec-
ton Company, Nationwide Serv-
ice, initiated the fight when it
defied the LaFollette subcommit-
tee of the Senate Labor Commit
tee, engaged in an investigation
of alleged violations of civil iber-
ties.
Six officials of the company
were under orders to show cause
before Judge James E. Proctor of
the District of Columbia Supreme
Court next Tuesday, why they
should not refuse to answer the
subpoena of the subcommittee.
Meantime, Senator LaFollette
(PO of Wisconsin, conducting
single-handed investigation into
activities of the detective organi.
cation in labor matters. called
another hearing for August 81.
Charging that the subcommit-
tee had been wilfully Haunted,
Senator LaFollette was prepared
to ask a District of Columbia
grand jury to cite six officials
Of Railway Audit for contempt,
or await a session of the Senate
next January for the same pur-
pose.
Textile, Steel PrObed
The LaFollette subcommittee
was authorized to look into both
alleged invasionS of civil liber-
ties, and interference with col
lective bargaining in industry.
Testimony of committee agents,
based upon pieced-together scraps
of correspondence of railway audit
officials and operatives, indicated
the inquiry would be directed to
activities in the Southern textile
industry and varied industries
around Pittsburgh, including steel.
Two detective agencieS-the
Burns and Pinkerton-avoided a
clash with the subcommittee by
opening their books and records
to investigators.
The Railway Audit and Inspec-
ton Company, maintaining offices
in Philadelphia, New York, Pitts
burgh, Atlanta and other cities,
was said by agents of the commit
tee to have solicited clients for in
vestigation of efforts to unionize
industries.
Went Beyond Power
Leonard Weinberg, counsel Of
the company. maintained the
subcommittee went beyond the
scope of the Senate resolution
and invaded private rights guar
anteed by the Constitution.
Should Judge Proctor refuse to
restrain the LaFollette commit
tee from pursuing it's inquiry, it
is expected that the railway
audit officials will appeal to
higher courts.
A staff of so investigators, in
Guiding many representatives of
the National Labor Relations
Board, is engaged in searching
out alleged invasions Of civil lib
critics and counter fights against
union organization.
Representatives of the Commit
tee on Industrial Organization,
headed by John L. Lewis, are
understood to have demanded an
inquiry into the fight of steel
magnates against unionization of
the big industry.

BATTLE
ON BREMEN

NEW YORK, Aug. % G.NSD
Cleaning decks of the Bremen,
pride of the North German Lloyd
Line, provided the arena early
today for a fierce riot between
Communists, protesting alleged
Nazi intervention in Spain, and
the ships officers and crew.
Several women demonstrators
who chained themselves to the
rail were beaten numerically be-
fore they were sawed free. A
dozen men and women were ar

charges.
Shrieking in panic, passengers
fled to their quarters as the bat
tie ragged all over the ship and
police clambered aboard to halt
the struggle.
Hit Nazi Intervention
The demonstration was staged
just before the Bremen slipped out
of the harbor for German shores.
Whistles were blowing and gang
planks were about to be lifted
when, at a prearranged signal,
about $50 men and women cast
off outer garments, exposing white
SweatShirtS on which were in
Scribed anti-Nazi phrases. Women
began screaming in tired chant:
Down with Nazi Intervention
in SPAIN"
Officers and the crew seized the
demonstrators and ordered them
off the deck.
Women Beaten
Anti-Nazi banners which the
Communists unfurled were torn to
ribbons and stamped on by the
enraged German seamen.
The women shackled to the
rail were caught in the thick of
the embroglio. Several slumped
to the deck unconscious under
blows of the Germans. Mean
while sailors were using blow
torches and hacksaws to liberate
them.
An American in evening clothes
who said he is Allen Stuart, a
writer, was in the middle of the
fracas. His dress suit was in
tatters when he was arrested.
Stuart said he merely was
protesting brutality of the ships
crew as they beat women demon
strators. He had come aboard

Walton 10 PLAY
For Maryland
Against Va.

It has been discovered that
there is a family reason why
Bob Walton, 164-pound Maryland
center who never played high
school football, has gained the
call over Frank DeArmey, four
inches taller, 80 pounds heavier
and much more experienced in
the grid paStime.
Right now Walton, who went
to Maryland from Tech High of
Washington, is slated to start the
game against Virginia at Char.
lottesville Saturday, and De-
Armey will have to step on the
gas if he is to have o chance to
get his old job back.
1t has leaked out that Walton
is a cousion of Caleb (Zeke)
Bailey, all-time Maryland center,
who played football for the
Terps nearly Is years ago and
who now is a captain in the
Marines. Bailey, who also was
MarylandS best catcher in his
day, was Is pounds heavier and
also taller than Walton,
Walton, who stands only 5
feet 8 inches, is q fine snapper
back, a great tackler and defender
against forward passes and a
smart diagnostician. He also is
compact and sturdy and seldom
gets hurt.
Small gridders seem to thrive at
center for the Old Liners as
DeArmey is the first man to
play the position regular since
Bailey'S time who has scaled over
ITO. Three of the regulars in the
last dozen years have weighed
less than 100.
Maryland, pleased with the way
its line performed against North
Carolina last week, feels that it
has fully an even chance against
the Cavaliers Saturday in any
event, and better than that If
Bill Guckeyson proves to be in
shape to play.
