TO BUND, SAYS
KUHN ON STAND
American Fuhrer Admits
He Had Records of Or
gdnizafion DESTROYED

WASHINGTON, Aug. 16,-Frit2
Kuhn estimates that 10000 persons
pay dues in the German American
Bund. The full membership records
of the Bund have been destroyed.
on his orders, because of prospective
investigations.
The Bund leader, appearing un-
expectedly before the House Com
mittee investigating American acti-
vities, said he had only partial rec
ords of dues payments.
Destruction of membership rec
ords, he said, were ordered when an
investigation seemed likely by the
Dies Committee and also by a New
York State legislative group.
Kuhn said the Bund came into
existence at Buffalo in March. 1895
after he determined on form of
political organiza ton composed only
OF American citizens.
Shows Emotion
When Chairman Dies demanded
to know why Kuhn wished to form
political organization of indie
pendent Friends of New Germany
which included German citizens, he
displayed emotion for the first time
during the hour or more of testi-
mony.
Representative Dickstein was
raising hell about us down here in
Washington and we wanted to shut
his mouth. He was making wild
charges against us, trying to smear
u.s." Kuhn shouted.

u. Professor
Takes Stand
For Bridges
Declares Communist Party
Does Not Advocate Over
throw OF Government

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, Aug. 16
A Stanford University philosophy
professor, DR.. Harold Chapman
Brown, testified yesterday that the
Communist Party doctrine does not
advocate the overthrow of the gov
ernment BY force.
Dr.. Brown was subpoenaed by the
Harry Bridges defense in its efforts
to prove that membership Of an
alien in the Communist Party would
not make him subject to deporta-
ton.
The government charges that the
Australian-born western CLIO leader
is a Communist and the Communist
Party advocates the overthrow of
the government by force.
DR.. Brown read at length a sum-
mary of the Communist philosophy
as based on the writings of Mark
Engles and Lenin. He said that the
Communist doctrine does not advo-
cate force and that it proposes pub
lie ownership OF the means OF pro-
duction only when the majority of
the people desire it.
d. Earlier in the day the Bridges
defense attempted to show that ALL
leaders in the Pacific Northwest
helped to finance the deportation
case. The charges were made during
the questioning of Captain Keegan,
of Portland, Oregon. The officer
fatty denied he had received funds
from any source other than the po-
lice department for his investigation
Of Bridges.
Then he volunteered the informa-
ton that he received $50 from the
Teomsters Union to investigate
death plot against Dave Beck, the
district head of the union. He said
that during the course of his in
vestigation he also learned of a
death threat against the Clio lead
er and notified him.

ago"
Pressed for comment on the
Chamberlain government, His Grace
declined to make an answer, but
he did go so far as to say that he
saw little chance of Anthony Eden
finding another berth in Cham
berlain's present cabinet. Asked
what he thought SPANS position
would be in the event of a Europ-
can outbreak, he expressed the OPP
inion that the Franco government
would not align itself with the
Rome-Berlin axis, "at least against
England"
Il do not believe that Spain has
any desire for further conflict, nor
yet any desire to fight England,
the Duke said.

New ideas in salads will wake up
mealtime enthusiasm, SO often
found mapping at the tag-end of
summer.
Salads, full of minerals and vita
minis, rank high as health-builders.
They are relatively economical and
shorten meal preparation time. You
can make them extra attractive and
decorative by introducing gay, bright
combinations, varied textures and
sundry new flavor blends.

A Yuma barber talked. Other.
wise, this story never would have
been written. FL Centre and I'M
perial Valley probably could have
existed without il. but the barber
just had 10 talk. So here's the
story.
"Yessir, there's about a hundred
graves out there. Most of EN- shot
trying TO escapel'
The barber referred TO THE Hill,
which lies a few PAGES between
Yuma and the Colorado river. In
crumbling, iron-clad glory there
stands upon it the remains of a
bastille as forbidding as the Moro
Castle, as stern as Devils Island.
Thousands pass it daily. Only
a few visit it. In Yuma it's Just
Prison Hill''.
"Yessir, it's worth seeing" con-
tinued the barber, and he might
be going yet if a gentleman in the
next chair had not exploded:
"Shucks, that's nothingl I saw
a man shot TO death right here in
this very shopl"
Then another barber, a very re-
fined barber. chimed in:
MY friend, you underestimate
the historical importance of this
shop When this was a bar
room, nine men paid with their
lives on this very spot"
There's The Proof
Resenting interference, the first
barber took up the conversational
cudgel:
"If you have an hour to kill,
look up Harry McPhaul. He'll show
you Prison Hill, and at least there's
some proof to that"
McPhaul was located in a nearby
drug store He was nothing loathe
TO visit the prison, because he
wasn't doing anything anyhow"
On the way out he explained:
I'm 78 and I came out here
first as guard at the old prison.
