Accusation Before
Dies Committee
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
The House committee investigat-
ing un-American activities received
testimony today that David Saposs
identified as chief economist of the
National Labor Relations Board
was the author of a textbook used
in Communist workers school in
New York.
j. B. Matthews, who gave the COM
mittee this testimony. said the book
was called Left Wing Unionism. :"
Mr.. Matthews described himself as
an independent writer of Washing
ton and New York and said that be-
tween 1882 and 1885 he was con-
nected with % Communist front Or
CARNATIONS.
Mr.. Matthews said he understood
that Mr.. Saposs was not a member
OF the Communist party, but that
Mrs. Saposs was.
Discussing Mr.. Saposs' views as set
forth in the book, Mr.. Matthews said
the Labor Board official believed that
trade unionism, lin order to develop
class struggle, must engage in
strikes, and that if there were no
issues they must be created"
Meetings With Browder.
The struggle, Mr.. Matthews said.
may have nothing to do with COL
lectlve bargaining. wages or hours"
During his United Front activi-
ties. Mr.. Matthews said he consulted
many times with Earl Browder. head
of the Communist party.
On one occasion, Mr.. Matthews
added, Mr. BroWder asked him to
make a contact in the State De-
partment with view to the Com
munlst party's using the processes
OF diplomatic immunity to transfer
funds from Russia to the United
States
He said he told Mr.. Browder he
could not get mixed up in any
intrigue of that sort"
Chairman Dies, Democrat of
Texas, asked Mr.. Matthews if he
knew any communists in the State
Department.
The witness replied that a Noel
rlelQ, no longer connected with the
department, had freely discussed
his Communist party membership
with him.
Haywood Broun Involved.
Earlier, Mr.. Matthews told the
committee that he and Haywood
Broun, newspaper columnist and
president of sthe American News

associated in at least five Com

By the Associated Press.

The oratory and the blaring bands
of an exciting election campaign
faded into the background today
while party workers took over the
vital but unspectacular task of get
ting out the vote.
They wanted to obtain recorC
"off year turnout tomorrow of 40
100000 American men and women
them, for although a cold snap was
moving East, clear day was fore
cast for much of the Nation.
Amid the valedictories which end
ed months of political turbulence
the belief prevailed in both major
parties that Republicans would make
congressional gains for the first
time since 1923.
Not even the most optimistic Re-
publicans, however. hoped to over
turn the huge Democratic major
itieS in Senate and House. Theil
avoWed goal was to cut them down
as much as possible. They forecast
Democratic losses of a half dozen
or more Senate seats and of IS OF
80 in the House.
Absurd. Says Farley.
Democratic Chairman James A
Farley called such prediction alb
surd, although he said it would
be idle to deny some Democratic
House members would lose Most
prominent Democrats figure the
House turnover at 25 to so, and
eoncede two or three Senators and
as many Governors to the opposition
Altogether the voters in Al States
will choose 35 Senators. 432 Repre-
sentatives, 80 Governors and a host
of State and county officials. Maine
voted in September re-electing its
Republican Governor and three Re
publican Representatives.
In the noisy and colorful national
campaign, both sides have acknoWl-
edged the New Deal to be the prin-
cipal iSSue-an issue on which the
Democratic party rolled up ever
elections.
Lewis Backs New Deal.
John L. Lewis, declaring that Ga
Dor stands firm in support of the
New Deal social legislation" ex-
pressed the argument of Roosevelt
supporters when he said last night:
Tuesdays election decides whether
the substantial social gains writ
ten on the law books in the last six
years are to remain and be extended
Underlying the campaign fan
fare is the fate of such New Deal
measures as the Social Security Act
the National Labor Relations Act
the Works Progress Administration
and the similar legislation aimed tt
make life bearable for the two thirds
of the population in the lower and
medium income brackets
The statement of Mr.. Lewis, as
head of labor'S Non-Partisan
League. surprised some politicians
for he and Mr.. Roosevelt have no,
always had amicable relations in the
last two years.

open. Japanese government has
so far failed to reply to protest.
By the Associated Press.
TOXIC, Nov. THE japanese
government paved the way for re-
construction of war devastated areas
of Central China today when it
formed the Central China Develop
ment Co., twin of the North China
Development Co.
At the same time Kenji Kodama
president of the newly formed COM
pany, gave assurances that Japan
had no intention of monopolizing
commerce in China or interfering
with existing or future foreign en-
terprise.
I'VE have no idea of monopoly, y
Kodama said. I'VE will not inter-
fere with foreign interests already
existing in Central China nor will
we oppose new foreign investments
provided they are offered in the
spirit of friendly cooperation"

The new holding company, which
was incorporated today, was capt.
talized at 100000 900 yen (about s27,-

kodama said the company would
not solicit foreign financial aid, add
ing that we are not in a position
to do that" He denied that the
various companies to be affiliated
under the holding company would
be completely japanese.
"On the contrary" he stated, eve

pan would need British capital fo1

Il believe that statement is baseC
on mlSlnformation. If it were neces-
sary for Japan to develop this whole
area in one or two years we nigh,
perhaps need foreign assistance i'm
mediately."
He expressed the belief that 9
period OF unprecedented prosperity
is coming" and indicated foreign
investors would be permitted tc
share in it.
After all" he said, I'VE japanese
have not forgotten that foreigners
came to Shanghai and the Yangtze
building great commercial centers
before we ourselves entered. We
have no intention to interfere with
these long seated rights
Retaliation Promised.
The newspaper Kokumin, consid-
cred to be the organ of the army
and ultra a-nationalistic elements
said yesterday that Japan would
take retaliatory measures if the
United States attempted to force
her to continue recognizing the nine
power treaty.
The paper scoffed at the declara-
ton of Secretary of State Cordell
Hull last Friday in Washington that
the United States attitude in the
Far East was based on existing
treaties and remained unchanged
Secretary Hull's comment followed
a United States note to Japan pro-
testing apparent intentions to close
the open door in China and state
ments in Toxic that Japan might
denounce the nine-poWer pact
pledging respect for the "open
door" and Chinas territorial in

THIRTY NEGROES BEING
HELD AS SLAVES IN ARK

New York, June 1.-The Depart
ment of Justice at Washington has
advised the NAACP that after
several months of Investigation it
hes found that the complaint that
thirty coored people were being
held as virtual slaves in a stockade
at HALEY, Ark, was not true and
thot no federal laws against peon-
age were being violated
The NAACP asked an investiga-
ton by the Department of Justice
following a complaint relayed to it
through its Chicogo branch last
November. The Department of
Justice reports that the United
States attorney at Little Rock has
advised it that the situation at
HALEY does not indicate any viola
ton of federal law.
