Need Law Enforcement Against
Lords of the Overworid.
No one can properly minimize
the need of active law enforcement,
whether it be in a great city or In
the rural counties.
Certainly Gov. Lehman has never
minimized it, and has never hesi-
tated to, call to his assistance in
law enforcement. young and vigor-
GUS prosecutors, irrespective of poll
tics. We need more active law en-
forcement, not only against the lords
of the underworld, but also against
the lords of the overworld.
1t is right-wholly right-to prose-
cut criminals. But that is not
enough. for there is the immense
added task of working for the elm
ination of present and future crime
by getting rid of evil social condi-
tions which breed crime. Good gov
ernment can prevent a thousand
crimes for every one it Furnishes.
The fight for social justice and
economic democracy has not the
allure of criminal jury trial; it is
a long. weary, uphill struggle-and
those who give themselves unspar-
ingly to 1t are seldom acclaimed at
my lady's tea or at my gentleman's
club.
AS a resident and voter in the
State OF New York I urge my fellow
citizens and voters, who are inter-
ested in preserving good government
and American democracy, to vote
for Herbert H. Lehman.
Praises Career of Wagner
In United States Senate.
And just as Governor is required
to be much more than a good prose-
cutOr, so United States Senator
must be much more than good
lawyer. A Senator from New York
must do more than merely vote on
whatever bills drift by. He must be
able and willing to take the initia-
tive-to keep the legislative wheels
turning in the right direction.
II you were to list some of the
newly recognized major responsible
ties OF government to meet the COM
plexities of modern life-security in
old age, unemployment insurance,
protection of the rights of labor,
loW-cost housing and slum clear
ance-you would have a virtual re-
sumo of the acts of the Congress
which bear the name of Robert F..
Wagner. So often since 1888 has
new legislation been described as
the Wagner act" that the phrase
has become confusing because there
have been so many Wagner acts.
For example, there is not only the
Wagner Labor Relations Act; there
are the Wagner Social Security Act
and the Wagner Housing Act; and
although you might feel uncertain
as to which particular act is meant
by the phrase. you can feel no un-
certainty as to thiS-that any one
tended for the benefit of those who
need the help and support Of gov
ernment against oppression and in
tolerable conditions of living His
name stands for courageous and in
telligent leadership. constructive
statecraft and steadfast devotion to
the common man and the cause of
civil liberties.
With him I hope the voters of
this State will send TO the Senate

Pennsylvania Co|ored
Leader Supporting
Republican Nominee
Vonn Says He Wants to
Restore Influence of
Senator Guffey
By the Associated Press.

6S the ASSOClhteO HFeSS.
PITTSBURGH, Nov. 5.-Robert L.
Vann, Pittsburgh colored publisher
and leader of a move that carried
thousands of his race into the Demo-
cratic party in Pennsylvania, was
"out of the campaign today but
supporting the Republican nominee
for Governor.
Vann, who four years ago rallied
his forces in support of United States
Senator Joseph F. Guffey, last night
in two radio addresses declared that
Guffey had asserted six weeks ago
that Democratic State Chairman
David L. Lawrence had double
crossed" 100000 followers of Guffey
and Thomas Kennedy.
Kennedy had the backing of
Guffey and the c. I. o. in his pri-
mary gubernatorial campaign, but
was defeated.
Vann said Guffey told him Sep
tember IS that Lawrence had "dou-
BILE crossed" the Guffey-Kennedy
people and was mot only not putting

vent a return of the serious abuses
and conditions of the past. But if
there should be any weakening of
the power of a liberal government
next Tuesday it would resurrect
false hopes on the part of some
business men, now beginning to
change antiquated ideas, that if they
can hold out a little longer, no
adaptation to change will be nee
essary.
There is no doubt of the basic
desires of the American people. And
because these basic desires are well
known you find all parties, all can
didates, making the same general
promises to satisfy these desires.
In 1918, when I was SO years old,
I was invited to run for the COVER
norship of this State. 1t was then
Assistant Secretary of the Navy. I
declined the offer. because my job
required me at that time to sail
on a destroyer for overseas service
1 am glad l did, for, looking back
on that time, l do not think that
l had experience and knowledge of
public affairs wide enough to qualify
as Governor. Besides, I did not
think it quite right to abandon in
mid stream an important public job
that l had undertaken.
Governorship Of New York
Requires Able Executive.
Governing the State of New York
is more than being an Assistant
Secretary OF the Navy or a district
attorney. The Governor of this
State is called upon to administer
18 great departments of government
and to supervise State institutions

sand wards of the State. He must be
able to understand and handle the
vast and intricate problems OF agri-

culture. He is charged with the
supervision of State finance and the
maintenance of State credit. He is
responsible for its widespread sys-
tenn of roads, parks, canals, bridges
and schools. He has to maintain,
preserve and improve the great body
of social legislation already on the
statute books of the State-unem-
ployment insurance, Workmen's COM
pensation, social security, help for
the needy and the underprivileged
and he must see to it that these
recent reforms are made to keep
pace with the broadening concep-
tion of social justice.

Recruits in the battle for economic

moment in the worlds history we
cannot take the risks of supplanting

He said he was told Communists

The affidavit said that he got
acquainted with Bridges at a

spring Of 1888. The place Of
meeting, he said, was at the resi-
dence of a member on Floral

"She said Harry Bridges took
part in the discussion" he said.
Bridges, he said, was introduced
to him as Dorgan, Durgan or Der

earlier today by Thomas B. Shoe

immigration and labor, Chairman
Dies (DD, Texas, said the file
apparently did not contain the
original affidavit which Copeland
was supposed to have turned over
to the department..
He said the file appeared only
to contain a photographed copy.
This he handed to Miss Kerr to
examine. She said parts of the
affidavit were missing, including
a document on the program of
the communist international and
a photograph of Bridges.

Dies then sought Shoemaker,
to ask him about the missing
documents. Shoemaker who had
been on the stand before the ap-
pearance of Miss Kerr, had pre-
viouSly testified the file was com
plete." Shoemaker had left the
room and Dies dispatched aides
to locate him.
While on the stand, Shoemaker
told the committee that in addi-
ton to Raphael Bonham, Seattle

the Bridges deportation case, Miss

Solicitor Gerard Reilly also had
been interested in the case"
Miss Kerr said that she had

the members of the National

give the names.
This, presumably. was done be-
cause Shoemaker, in turning the

Dies agreed and remarked that

When she recovered, Ginger
and her mother spent another
three weeks touring California,
and, what is really amazing, in
doing that, the $300,O00-a-year
star accomplished a miracle. She
spent two weeks at Del Monte
and the rest of the time in the
northern part of the State with
out being discovered.
Ginger, then alone at home,
injured herself the day before
she planned to leave for Mexico.
Hurrying with her final shop
ping, she was running up the con-
crete stairs to her home when
she slipped. A jagged piece of
cement ripped her right leg open.
Ginger, weakened by loss of
blood, called a physician. Eight
stitches were required to close the
wound but so deftly was the work
done you'll never notice the scar
when she dances with bare legs.
Her mother hastened from New
York on a telephone summons.
She alone ministered to her ia
nous daughter, who remained in
