AMERICAN NONINTERVENTION

AS it Shapes up, American assistance to the
Allies-a term embracing England and half
dozen defunct natiohs-through direct governmental
action involves immense quantity of
terials Figures available estimates, far. But
it seems probable that before many days are past
the American Government will have put at the dis
posal of the British Armies 1000 planes, including
some obsoescent flying fortresses as good as any
planes in the whole world
In the list of prospective shipments are also

100000 rounds of ammunition To stop German
tanks proposing to send 5000 three-inch

of active firing. This is two-thrds of the total
number of such guns the French Army itself hadl
Doubtless there will be other items for there is
bound to be surplus of slightly obsoescent machine
guns, still good for long If we had more than
few pilot models of tanks it could be taken
for granted some of them would be discovered to be
"obsolescent"
The picture created by this tremendous extension
of aid to the Allies is both gratifying and amusing
This newspaper welcomes the trend toward assistance
to the embattled denocracies in their struggle with
an enemy who is also our enemy. But there is room
still for a few clluckles at the absurdity of our
formal unwavering neutrality in the face of our
present policy
This is species of duplicty-this pretending
neutrality and actually aiding side wholehearted-

American hypocrisy. For it is true we do not
like as a nation, to call spade a spade.
But today this policy of unneutral neutrality
enjoys considerable dignity. 1t is known as NON

Tithing for Hitler
Cincinnati Plain Dealer)

Cincinnati Plain DealeD
An era of placid contemplation of European re-
armament and ACKNOWLEDGMENT of the Third Reich has
been abruptly terminated by the realization that
it is now our turn to offer up standard of liv-
ing as a sacrifice to the of arms.
The physical impact upon way of life is not
far off Our defense program necessitates new
taxes Immediately, along with the raising of the
legal ceiling of the Federal debt The general run
of Federal taxes will be increased 10 percent in the

ray of ornaments this nation would need in a world
dominated by the relationships.
An American tthing for Hitler is hardly as
fantastic as sounds. The defense program for this
year which President Roosevelt has recommended to
Congress-an aggregate cost of $4,000 600 OO0-repre
sents a sum well on its way to being tenth Of DUB
annual national income. The amount would have
been very close indeed by the depression standard
of national income and even now represents huge
share of our present national income of approximately
70 billions.
In the past decade, the government has spent
money freely even prodigally. But for much of
it we have things to show: Sewers, roads, new
schools and public buildings, flood control and rri
CATION projects. A Nazi victory portends the nee
essity of spending money more avishly, but not
for things useful in everyday national life If
we are forced to live under Htlerian sword of
Damoces in the years ahead. will have to learn
to deny ourselves new schools that may have
bombers, sewers SO that may have 75-mimeter
cannon, and even some of food that we may
pay dollar pound for warships.

 Denouncing as "utter falsehoods' AFL charges that CIO President John Lewis alone had blocked labor unity, the report recommended con- tinuance of 8 CIO peace negotiating committee consisting of Lewis and C1O Vice-President Philip Murray and Sidney Hillman.

 Maloney attempted to question Laborde about telephone converse. tions recorded in 1888 by the New York police department. Hyman Fishback, Laborde'S attorney, ob- jected that use of the records would violate the federal communi- cations act forbidding publication of intercepted telephone conversations.
 Peculiar Situation
 "ThiS is a peculiar state of af- fairs" Maloney said, "when wire tapper can object to his own wires being tapped and wrap himself in the full protection of the law"
 He pointed out that the wires were tapped by the New York po- lice Gin the course of lawful in- veStigation." Acting Chairman Sherman Minton ruled that Ma loney had obtained the records in a lawful manner but Laborde claimed the privilege of declining to answer and the matter was not pressed.
 Laborde said he had once sold a recording device to Wayne Merrick. chief assistant to New York District Attorney Thomas E. Dewey when Dewey was special prosecutor in charge of racket investigations in 1936 or 1887.
 Laborde denied that he had ever tapped wires except at the request of the subscriber or at the direction of New York authorities. He named among the subscribers who had made such request Judge McAn- drews, New York City magistrate. He objected to the use of the word "tap" and said the device he had installed on the judges wire was an "inductive pickup"

Keeps Up Contention.
 Still claiming errors in the judges charge, MT. Slade declared that the jury was told that Kingsley and Meany had audited the city'S books, though this was not so. In the in- stance of a duplicate payment by the city in 1930, which was com- plained against by James P. Pur- cell, then city auditor, the jury was told that MT. Leary had deposited the money in his own name, Slade said. But instead, said the lawyer, the money had been deposited in the name of Daniel J. Leary, Con- troller," in other words, in his &C., count as a city official, not an in- dividual. This, Slade argued, showed that there was no evil intent on Leary's part.
 The prosecution, MT. Slade as- serted, changed its claims several times during the trial. First, he said, the state charged that the con- spiracy began with the lighting con- tract between the city and Edward J. Levy, but when it was found that the contract was legal, the state charged that the conspiracy began with the instance of the double pay ment by the controller.
 All the evidence really amounted to was speculation, and presumption and guesswork about a confedera. tion," Slade said. Gan you bunch them together and call it a crime?"
 The prosecution claimed a con- tinuous conspiracy, he said, even

 CIO Situation
 Atlantic City, N. J., Nov. 19.-(UP) Congress of Industrial Organiza- tions leaders were reported today to have invoked legal technicality to prevent committee discussion of a right-wing resolution and constitu- tional amendment that would pro- hibit Communists, Nazis and FaS- cistS holding CIO jobs.
 Members of the convention reSo- lutions committee were said to have declined to extend the rule reQuir- ing proposed resolutions to be sub- mitted 10 days in advance of the convention which convened yester- day. This would prevent committee consideration of the three contro- versial proposals submitted by the powerful Amalgamated Clothing Workers of America, headed by La- bor Defense Commissioner and CIO Vice President Sidney Hillman These resolutions were not given the committee until Saturday, two days before the convention. The clothing workers also want to limit the powers of the CIO president and peace with the AFL. Sidetracking would be likely to cause new dis putes in the CIO.
 Chief delegate interest at the mo- ment was in the efforts to persuade C1O Vice President Phil Murray to accept the presidency, from which John L. Lewis Is retiring.
 Murray Also Waits
 Murray is reported to want an af- firmative demonstration of GIG unity, and is said to be interested in the fate of the anti-communist reso- IL --n. He has long fought left wingers in the United Mine W ,rkers Union and the Steel Workers Or ganizing Committee.
 Lewis yesterday said that GIG critics who allege that Communists inspire or support CIO policies "lie in their beard and they lie in their bowels"
 Lewis associates were confident that Murray ultimately would ac- cept. He is the only man known tC be satisfactory to both sides.

though Mayor Hayes and members of his administration had to be elected every two years.
 Jury Is Scored
 Attorney Slade waXed ironic in speaking of the short time the jury deliberated. It had taken months tc get ready for the trial, the trial lasted nine months, yet the jury deliberated long enough only to de- vote 15 minutes to the case of each defendant he said.
 "They probably didn't bother tc look at the exhibits at all," said MT Slade.
 Referring to his own clients, MT Slade asserted that there was no. thing in the record of the trial tc prove Kingsley and Meany guilty ot taking part in any conspiracy. The states accountant, Warren Browr admitted that the Kingsley audits were correct, he said, but that com. ments should have been made. But Brown, said the lawyer, had never made municipal audits in his life Beyond that, he added, there hac been comments contained in the Kingsley audits.
 Rights of Defendant "The fact that a defendant does not take the stand should not be commented on,' said MT. Shade There's very little hope for an &C., cused if judge comments on his failure to take the stand. If Judge Inglis and were among the &C., cused, we would have been found guilty. Judge Inglis is only human and he must have been influenced by the atmosphere that prevailed al the trial"
 Later, MT. Slade ased: Are Kings. ley and Meany to be found guilty o1 conspiracy because they didn't know charter provisions on appropriations The record of this trial shows nc Justification for convictions.
