sons rule not 10 discuss measures

senator feels he must speak out

The essence of his warning is
this:
That the "Gestapo bill" destroys
all the safeguards which free men
have placed about their courts ano
the laws for their own protection
Senator Ferguson said:
1T Is an established rule In

"A mere accusation Is proof OF
guilt, unless the accused can

Thus far in the entire history Of

hinged on the maintenance OF the
rule that a man in innocent until

1.-THE 'Gestapo biIP provides
that any American citizen who

OF Investigation.
There are vast stretches or
