TOSOClALISM
Roosevelt Not Censured,
Sincerity of Motive
Unquestioned
GREEN SAYS LEWIS
OFFER is FRAUD"

HOUSTON, Oct. IL. (uP).
The American Federation OF
Labor in a riotous session upset
its policy makers and sidetrack-
ed a report charging that the
present policies of the New
Deal were pointing toward So
cialism. --
The report was referred to
the Federation executive coun-
Gil and it's unlikely that it will
come before the convention be-
fore Fridays adjournment.
HOUSTON, Tex, Oct. IL. CUP
The American Federation of La
boris policy makers today report
ed to the federation convention
charges that the new deals poll
cies are pointed toward socialism
and called on industry to unite
with labor in hating this trend.
The accusation was made by the
powerful resolutions committee
which did not censure President
Roosevelt and which twice empha-
sized that unquestioned sincerity
of motive" is involved.
sSTkesconpeation was expected to
analyze today the effect of five
years Of President Roosevelt's la
Dor policies on millions OF work
ers. ....
An analysis has been prepared
by the resolutions committee,
which jammed through the con.
vention an attack on the National
Labor Relations board. a demand
for revision Of the wage-hour and
Wagner Labor acts, and a call for
a test of strength with President
Roosevelt. over his reappointment
of Donald Wakefield Smith to the
labor board.
Barring possible mention Of the
Smith reappointment, the first
sharp break between the White
House and the Federation, it was
reported that no attempt would
be made in the report to censure
Mr.. Roosevelt. This was the course
charted by the executive councils

William Green, president of the
Federation, last night indirectly
rejected a proposal by John L.
Lewis, Committee for Industrial
Organization chairman, that both
resign their high posts in the in
terest of q truce in labor's inter-
nal war and branded the offer as
an attempted fraud" and a
"grandoise bluff"

WASHINGTON, Oct. 12. (UP(
The state department disclosed
yesterday that the American con-

ARYAN LEAGUE
MAN Held IN
new ORLEANS
Arrested on Charge Of
Sending Threats
Through Mail
DEMANDED PROOF
PROFESSOR NOT JEW

NEW ORLEANS, Oct. r.
(UP)-Joseph Hahn-Korff, Sec
rotary of the Aryan league of
New Orleans. last night was un-
der federal charges of sending
defamatory and threatening mat
ter through the mails.
Federal agents said that the
burly Hahn-Korff sent a letter to
DR.. Alton Ochsner of the Tulane
university medical school demand
ing proof that he was not a Jew.
DR.. T. P. Terhune of Tulane
university said Monday that he
had received two letters from the
pro-Nazi organization in New Or
leans which he considered Sin
sulting." --.....
Hahn-Korff was arraigned be-
fore U. S. Commissioner R. H.
Carter, Jr., and released on $4,000
bond.
AS he left the courtroom, he
told Carter:
"Well, l wish you luck with
your charge"
Hahn-Korff's letter to DR.. Ochs-
ner said:
"An effort is being made for
the benefit of unsuspecting Gen
tiles to list all racial Jews in this
territory. Your name as well as
your character suggests, accord
ing to testimony of a number of
former associates of yours, that
you are either 100 per cent or
partly Jewish. Should you fail to
produce convincing evidence to
the contrary within a reasonable
length of time, you will be listed
as above. n. B.-We are not in
terested in your religious denom-
nation"
Officials said that Hahn-Korff
entered this country 10 years ago
but has never been naturalized.
He was reported to have been
fired from a private patrol service
because of his pronounced pro-
Nazi activities.
DR.. Ochsner said he gave fed
eral agents the letter upon which
they based their charges. 1t was
the only one he received, he said.
"He was trying to intimidate
me-" DR.. Ochsner said. 81 dis
missed him from the Charity hos
pital chemical department seven
years ago because he was "too
Prussian" to get along with any
body in the hospital. AS for the
Jew part, l am not a jew"
Hahn-Korff is unemployed. The
organization of which he is sec
rotary is reported to have about
so members. Hahn-Korff's letters
are the only reported public &C
tivities of the league thus far, al
though it was said to hold regular
meetings in a French quarter res
taurant.
DR.. Terhune said Hahn-Korff's
letters to him offered a copy OF
Adolf Hitler's Mein Kampf If
You Can Qualify Racially."
In an interview, DR.. Terhune
described how Hitler's police took
a copy of the book away from him
before he left Germany.

MILLION CHINESE
READY TO MEET FOE

HONG KONG, Oct. IL. (UP)
Japanese troops started their in
vasfon of South China IN an eff
fort to crush. out the last great
Chinese center Of resistance.
Tens of thousands of troops
were landed from 10 transports
on the shores Of Bias bay, motor
ious pirate lair on the coast east
Of Hong Kong.
The troops were entrenched, es-
tablished base and sent advance
units inland toward Canton.
Foreign military observers re-
ceived reports Of heavy fighting
as the Japanese advance met the
first contingents Of a million Chi
nese within a few miles of the
coast.
The opening of new drive ex-
tended the Japanese theatre Of
operations in China to q total area
of 774,000 square miles - about
1920 miles from north to south
and about 600 miles from the
coast to Central China.
Japan had been contemplating
the advisability of big scale
drive for many months. For sew
eral days past, japanese units had
been landing along the coast near.
Hong Kong.
At dawn today, the japanese
began pouring ashore at the vii
lage Of Hachung, 40 miles from
Hong Kong.
Within q few hours of the land
ing, word reached Hong Kong
first that there were 80 transports
in the bay and that 10000 men
had landed. Then the figures were
raised to 10 transports and $4,000
men, and the landing continued.
Massed japanese planes coin"i.
dentally made devastating bold
bardment in the Swallow area, $50
miles up the coast.
Il was expected that the first
strategic problem Of the Japanese
would be to cut the Canton-Kow-
loon railroad which runs ITO miles
from British Hong Kong to Cam
ton, and thus cut off one of the
most important Chinese sources
of war materials from abroad.
The Japanese navy commander
in chief in the southern zone said
that the purpose Of the new inva-
sion was to. "disillusion the Chi
nese people," He warned that
though they would not modest
non-resisters among the Chinese,
no mercy would be shown to those
who challenged the japanese.
"Our operation will continue
until our purpose is carried OUT
he added.
Il was indicated that this pur-
pose must be to attack Canton,
with its 100000 defending
troops of the Kwantung and 9TH
err provincial armies, in an effort
to conquer the south.

fell under the GraySon charm and chose him to be White House phy- sician. Not long after Wilson made Grayson, then only 38, rear ad- miral.
 Grayson became one of the aus tere Wilson's few intimate friends, attending Mrs. Wilson during her last illness, and the president, who was continually plagued by sickness during his second term. Grayson learned many political secrets, but none passed his lips. He accom- panied Wilson to Paris for the peace conference after the World War. The admiral retired from the navy in 1928, but his activity, it seemed, was just beginning. At one time or the other he was: Member of the public health committee of the na- tional food administration; medical member of the Council on National Defense; medical director of the Washington Gas Light Go.
 In 1883, President Roosevelt se- lected Grayson to be chairman of his first inaugural committee. He served in a similar capacity four years later. When John Barton Payne died in 1895, Grayson be- came head of the Red Cross. Drec- tors voted him 8 $17,000 salary, but he refused it, accepting instead the income from a trust fund, which yielded about $4,300 annually.
