FBI Rounds Up

Investigation Of
Riots Demanded
By JOHN T. WOOD

DETROIT - CAMP "A growing
chain of evidence linking axis
agents to the June 20-21 race riots
began this week to tighten against
'stooge" associates of a spy ring
rounded up by the Federal Bureau
of Investigation as the Detroit Cit
liens Committee and the 57th An

Rights Federation in demanding
Federal grand jury investigation OF
the causes of the recent riot and
the immediate prosecution OF three
white men indicted for sedition IN
the Sojourner Truth riot of Febru-
airy %, 1912.
A direct link between the recently
arrested Nazi agents and instigators
of the Sojourner Truth riot and the
June 20-21 incident, was barred last
week when the FBI disclosed that
DIR. Fred w. Thomas, one of sew
eral held here as spies. was MEM
Der of, and a heavy contributor to
the National Workers League
which has been exposed as a sub
versive organization.
LINKED TO RIOT
FBI reports also revealed that
DR.. Thomas was an active member
of the Seven Mile-Fenelon I'M
provement Association, whose presi-
dent, Joseph Buffa, led the fight
against Negro occupancy OF the
Sojourner Truth homes and warned
the City Council that whites would
riot if Negroes were moved into
the project.
A closer link between the Naz'
agents and the riot leaders was seen
when the FBI disclosd that DR..
Thomas made several attempts to
place Parker Sage in a key position
at the Ford Motor Company plant
Sage, who headed the National
Workers League, was indicted fol-
sedition in the Sojourner Truth In
cident. Also indicted were Virgil
Chandler, one of the officers of the
Improvement association, and Gar
land Alderman. The indictment
charged that Sage, Chandler and
Alderman conspired to nrevent Ne
groes from occupying the project.
AIDED BUFFA
Chandler aided Buffa IN the open
fight against Negro occupancy OF
the homes while Sage and Alder
man worked behind the scenes
through the National Workers
League. Buffa was named as a CO.
conspirator but was not indicted.
