Thief Evudes Alert Policeman
But Loses Stolen Car and Safe

Policeman James l.. Sadtler had
varying degrees of success at 3
o'clock this morning while cruising
on his motorcycle along Benning
road.
His alertness intercepted a stolen
produce truck and a safe containing
$500. But while he examined the
loot the thief escaped.
It all began when Mr.. Sadtler's
suspicion was aroused when he saw
the truck roaring down the road at
that inappropriate hour of the
morning. In the first place, the tail
lights were out. Secondly, a produce
truck had been reported stolen last
week from q dealer in that vicinity.
Mr.. Sadtler promptly put two and
two together. He was wrong, but it
turned out right.
The truck wasn't the one re-
ported stolen last week. It had
been stolen about Is minutes previ-
ously from in front Of a repair shop
in the 2600 block of Benning road
NE. 1t had been brought there for
repairs by T. A. Cannon, a whole
sale producer. The shop had been
burglarized and the truck was being
used to cart of the safe.
Careful not to arouse the drivers
suspicion, Mr.. Sadtler casually men,
toned that the tail light was out.
"Oh. I'll fix that right away" the
colored suspect replied, walking to-
ward the rear Of the vehicle.
Meanwhile, the policeman looked
in the cab Of the truck and saw the
21ax3-foot safe. He grimly walked
to the rear Of the truck. But the
thief had not lottered. When last

NEW YORK, July s.-Radio Sta
ton WMCA last night deleted por-
tions of a speech referring to Com
munism and to the present Wash
ington administration, given by
State Senator Frederic r. Coudert,
jr., Republican, at the New York
County Convention of the American
Legion.
Mr.. Coudert delivered the talk In
Its entirety to the convention when
his radio time was up.
Nathan Straus, WMCA president,
said the original address was cut
because it contained aspersions on
our Allies and other material calcu-
lated to stir up disunity at home"
Legion Urged as Guardian.
In his original text, Mr.. Coudert
charged that soldiers returning from
this war would find all of the pre-
war trends toward totalitarianism
carried far toward their objectives
under the impact of the war to de-
stroy just such tyrannies abroad"
The Senator, in urging the Legion
to guard the real values of Ameri-
can citizenship against all comers,"
said a Government which owes its
life in no small measure to the
Browders, the Marcantonios and
Hillmans cannot be relied upon
alone for the defense of constitu-
tional liberties"
He then declared that todays war
veteran would find evidence at
every point of those 'shackles upon
the liberties of the people so light
ly projected in the 193Os" and added
that individuals and groups in
this un-American movement are
now close to the seats of the mighty
in our Government and play a part
in its operation"
The returning soldier" he said,
would find his Government influ-
enced by these men and others who
have lost faith in American democ-
racy and the American future.
Communists Raped.
Men who for many years have
sought to undermine our faith in
ourselves and our mode of life =
Communists who were frankly
revolutionaries = Fascist minded
reactionaries, phoney intellectuals,
" and, finally, those who simply
pursued the paths that led to power"
In delivering the original speech
to the Legionnaires, the Senator
said:
We can't seem to say what we
would like to say about great many
things. 1 don't entirely blame the
radio station. The Federal Com
munications Commission sits like a
devil on a pedestal welding the
power of life and death over radio
station.
