SEDlTI0N TRIAL
RECESS ORDERED

WASHINGTON, Aug. 49, Up -
The mass sedition trial is in re-
cess until Sept. after an 18-week
stand.
The respite was ordered to give
attorneys, jurors and defendants
an opportunity to attend to per-
sonal and business affairs.
One of the highlights of last
weeks session was the introduce
ton by the government, over Wig
orous defense objections, of a let
ter proposing "burying the Jews"
and driving the communists into
the Pacific and Atlantic oceans,
through civil war if necessary"
The government said the letter
was written by Frank w. Clark,
chairman of the National Liberty
party, one of 26 defendants charg-
ed with conspiring to undermine
the loyalty of the armed forces,
and that it was one of 100 docu-
ments seized by the FBI at Ger
man-American bund headquarters
in Los Angeles the day after Pearl
Harbor.
The letter, the government said,
was addressed to the western
states convention of the Anti-Com-
munist Federation.
Another letter inserted in h e
record and said by the govern
ment to have been written by
Clark and addressed to the Anti
Communist Federation talked of
defiance of call communist laws
as have been placed upon the stat
ute books for the past eight years,
thus creating a state whereby the
Jew-Communists will be forced to
commit an overt act which de-
stroys our constitutional laws"
This, the letter said, would "pro-
vide a serious excuse for the re-
volt of our Army, Navy and Ma
rines, the American Legion, Vet
Grams of Foreign Wars, the Amer
lean Disabled Veterans, and CIV
ing us the constitutional right to
establish the state of a general
civil war against the Jews and
the Communists as well, and their
fronts and agents.
These and other letters and doc
uments were placed in the record
over defense objections.

fate of an elderly American couple,

Charles F. Jones since the Jones'

the parties stand on important is
sues.
The contradictions, according to
Hinshaw, come from experiences OF
the day. For example, the Demo-
Gratis on numerous occasions have
had a plank opposing third and
even second terms. You won't find
any such plank in the Democratic
platform today, but you will find
Republicans working to make such
a plank an amendment to our Con-
stitution.
Pussyfooting and windyness come
from attempting to write plat
form that will allow for all ex-
igencies that may arise and won't
antagonize active minority groups
But if you can wade through all
this and weigh it for what it is
worth you'll find somewhere in
almost every platform what your
party stands for No voter can
vote intelligently without knowing
that.
