The Government is first linking the 29 defendants with this world con- spiracy through the Bund. Other links with the Nazis are to be presented to the jury later.
 Letters from Nazi agents in Ger many and America have already been given to the jury. They disclose:
 That the Bund was set up by Hitler's representatives with the help of German funds.
 2-That the Bund - made up nOminally of American citizens of German extraction after l936- continued to VOW fealty to Hitler as the ''great Fuehrer of all Ger mans."
 More sensational, however, will be the evidence against the native fasc- ists, which is beginning.
 Defense hoodlum tactics have large ly abated as a result of Justice Ed ward C. Eicher's heavy fines of at torneys for contempt of court and his promise of an extra week in prison for every defendant indulging in out breaks.
 Delaying tactics, which threaten to prolong the trial we'll past the Novem- Der elections, continue to feature the trial, however.
 The legal .saboteurs may lose their leader, Attorney James J. Laughlin, chief defense strategist, who told the court he had been in- dicted in Federal court in Balti- more on a charge of tampering with prison records. He is charged with adjusting the records at Rai- ford, Fla, prison to show that a client, Hilliard Sanders, was visit ing a prison inmate on Sept. 25, 1941, the date he was accused of taking part in a bank robbery at Hyattsville, Md. Sanders has since been convicted as a bank robber and Laughlin now is accused of framing his alibi.

On TheScene
 In Washington
By Travis K. Hedrick

As the Federal government moved into the eighth week of the trial of American fascists this week, the pattern of the case began to take form.
 By putting aside the long and loud objections and screwbaII an- tics of the attorney, and forgetting about the legal hocus pocus that is really meaningless and meant sim ply as headline material for the de- fense, this is the picture.
 The government is beginning to link these native fascists with the German American Bund, Hitler's No. l organization in America.
 The American Gentile Protection Assn. was the first of these native, labor batting anti Semitic groups to be tied to the Bund. Mrs. Lois L. de- Lafayette, the Associations leader, was featured speaker before the Bund groups in the late 1930s, said Peter Gissibl, former Bund leader in Chicago, and government witness.
 Silver Shirt speakers, said Cis- sibl, frequently appeared on Bund rostrums. And Bundists often ad- dressed Silver Shirt gatherings. Other native hOtbeds of fascist work will be similarly connected.
 Documents and witnesses are bit by bit establishing the governments charge that the Nazis were engaged in a world conspiracy to overthrow de- mocracy and establish fascist govern ments everywhere.

agree, though some insist the start should be fixed at later date.
 Prior to 1784, there were ''guilds' in which workers and em- pIoyers alike belonged, but the Cordwainers' organization is gen. eralIy accepted as the first real union of workers.
 STRIKING proof of the man. power shortage in Canada is to be found in the following advertise ment, appearing in the Montreal Star:
 THREE or four elderly men or women, not over 80, not subject to Selective Service, to work clean ing garden, greenhouse. Frequent rest periods. Tobacco for men. cigarettes for women.

 HARTFORD AND NEW HAVEN Central Labor Unions might well heed the message contained in the following sent to us from Detroit:
 ''By Labor Day the Detroit Wayne County Federation of Labor hopes to have the remaining $6O,- 900 debt cleared from its labor temple, on which $195, ,OOO has been expended for land, building and remodeling.
 The only insurance labor can have that its new home will be secure is to pay off the balance now. The members of the AFL rec ognize that now is the time to do the job. Practically every member of the AFL in this district is em- ployed and is receiving more dol lars for his efforts than at any time in his life" says the campaign fund committee in its appeal.

 IF HE rate at which unOrgan- ized workers are coming into unions may be taken as an indica- ton, the anti-labOr propaganda pouring out from the press. radio and public platform is falling on deaf ears.
 Unions are still gaining rapidly in membership, despite the fact that industrial employment has passed its peak and is now on the decline. National Labor Relations Board figures show that workers are voting for bona fide unions in more than 80 per cent of the col lective bargaining elections con ducted by the board.
 Reports from two major unions with headquarters in Washington the International Association of Machinists and International Rro- AAoAnOOO OA El0CGF1d1 WOFkorS- provide graphic barometer of the trend toward uniOnization. Rolls of the Machinists have passed the 100000 mark and are on the way to three quarters of million. That's triple the I. A. M. strength at the start of the defense program. Machinists' chiefs esti. mate that since Pearl Harbor their union has won over 1000 elections. This year alone, since January I. the victories have come close to the 100 mark.
 Membership of the Electrical Workers has zoomed to over BPS. OOO, the highest in history. and at least 100000 more than at the be- ginning of the defense program. Particularly impressive gains have been made in the utility field. where over 80 per cent of the i'm. dustry has been brought under the \, IS. E. w. banner.

In his next campaign, he made

running against Smith again.
And this year white suprem-
acy" is more of an issue in Smith S
state than at any time since car
petbagger days, as the result of a
recent supreme court decision
holding that Negroes could vote
