With brains strung all through those
gripping arms and sucking cups
Perfect holding company image
That octopusic corporation para
site
Which operates under dusk of law,
names, privileges
Feeding on all it touches, giving out
nothing
Combining in one sack its income
from other useful bodies
Its eyesight, derived from lawyers
cunning
Discerns lights and shades of legal
things
While its component suckers seek
life juices of victims
Feeding profits from these into the
holding sack.
But this legal octopus is also help
less
When dragged into sunlight, by
public Indignation
Actions, taken on lawyers counsel
Which seemed once clever to Hop
son
In full glare of public gaze are seen
for what they are
AS functions of a sucking vampire
on the public veal
Which cannot bear light of day, nor
heat of public scorn--
Its subtle tricks, and intricate
Vaccinations
All suddenly foolish, futile, unrea-
son, and mere crime
Condemning their creator to

does, about 200 persons descended q
fire escape to which she led them,
in the rear Of the building, and the
other $50 made their way to safety
over ladders placed against the
building by flremen.
Excitement prevailed when the
lodge members discovered in the
midst Of elaborate installation cere-
monies that flames on the first two
floors had blocked escape down the
stairways, but it subsidized when Mrs.
Murray, on the rostrum, said:
Listen to me. Everyone can get
out safely If we file two by two and
60 down the fire escape. Everything
will be all right If we don't lose our
heads"

Quentin Reynolds Tells
How Londoners Spent
Christians Under Fire

Lightly veiled references to Col.
Charles A. Lindbergh's testimony
yesterday before the House Foreign
Affairs Committee drew q few Kisses
and the apparently tacit approval
of an audience of several hundred
persons gathered at Constitution
Hall last night to watch the pre-
view Of British war film.
Quentin s. Reynolds, war corre-
spondent for Golfers magazine, and
narrator Of the film. referred to Col.
Lindbergh only as personally
courageous man and q great flyer"
but added.
II admire his objectivity when he
said I prefer to see neither side
win He should make a great re-
porter. Whether he can be q great
American Is something else.
THANK God, our affairs are in the
hands Of men of statesmanlike quail
tiles. and not in the hands Of a man
expert only in the comparatively
simple job Of plotting an airplane."
ut Doesn't Matter Who Wins"
Earlier, Thomas H. Beck. president
Of the Crowell-Collier Publishing
Co., had made a sighting reference
to the flyer.
Some one has said-I didn't say
a man-some one has said 1t doesn't
matter who WINS"
In the pause that followed some
one in the hall shouted: Yes it
does" and drew q ripple Of applause.
Mr.. Reynolds, who spoke after
the screening Of London Can Take
It." previously released Aim. and
They Spend Christmas Under
Fire" showed publicly for the first
time in America, told Of his observa-
tions In London, where, he said, he
heard far less war talk than he has
In this country.
What amazes me-" he said, "is
that I don't see any hatred of
Fascism in Washington Where
there is no hatred of Fascism there
can be no defense against it. You
have to hate it the way a preacher
hates sin"
Only Wants to Borrow Weapons.
England. he declared, "doesn't 7
want American blood shed on her
soil. She wants only to borrow
weapons and supplies to fight for
freedom"
Sir Willmott Lewis, Washington
correspondent Of the London Times
expressed the appreciation Of the
British people for American SYM
pathy and aid. The speakers we're
introduced by Mr.. Beck.
They Spent Christmas Under
Fire" shows scenes Of children and
adults trying to retain the spirit OF
Christmas and peace in a warlike
world and in cellars and shelters
instead of homes. The picture was
made by the Crown Film Unit and
released through Warner Bros. with
gross profits to go toward British
relief, Mr.. Beck said. 49, y
