activities in order to salvage his
assets and to perpetuate his eco
nomic influence abroad and his
power and ability to plan future

Gov. Thomas E. Dewey, who
ordered all State flags in New York
flown at half-staff for 80 days, said:
T Our State and Nation have just
suffered the loss of truly great
4 American-Alfred Emanuel Smith.
"A vibrant, lovable personality,
Gov. Smith always had the COM

who knew him. AS Governor Of
New York State for eight years,
presidential nominee of his party
and a leading statesman of our
time, he represented all that was
fine and good in public service"
| James A. Farley, former Demo-
cratic national chairman: His city

one of their greatest sons and, like
millions of Americans, I mourn his
loss"
Secretary of the Interior Ickes: I'm

great heart. Honesty, integrity and
outstanding administrative ability in
the art of government were instinc-
tive with him. No man of his time

and getting at the core of the issues
Of the day. Millions will remember
his characteristic expression, Let's
take look at the record The world
can look at his record and find it
superlative."

Former Gov. Herbert H. Lehman
OF New York, now director general
Of United Nations Relief and Re-
habilitation Administration, issued
this statement:
I have been deeply grieved to
hear of the death of Gov. Smith,
He was a great Governor and a
great American. New York State
has never had a more distinguished
son or one who served the people
with greater devotion and ability,
had the honor of his friendship
and close association for more than
quarter Of century and had the
greatest affection and admiration

He was an outstanding public
servant, man of high character

The people Of New York State and

Getting Ready For
 Crisis After War"


 The fascist movement in America is operating under ground through a nationwide network of small organiza- tiOns spreading race hatred in preparation for crisis it plans to create after the war, Gustav Horner Maertz, leader of ChicagO's prO-Nazi Silver Shirt movement, revealed.
 Having assisted Rep. Clare E. Hoffman (R., Mich. in his cam paign for reelection, Maertz un- folded what he said were the postwar plans of American fasc- ism in an interview with the Chicago Sun.
 Our movement is getting ready to break out into the open after the war, and when we do this coun- ry is going to get the shock of its life,'' he said. ''We are organized but not openly-all over the nation.
 Americas greatest crisis is com ing after the war. On one side will be the srightists'-big business, anti Semites and nationalists. On the other will be the leftists -internationalists, Semites and their friends You may call us pro-Nazi or pro-Fascist now, but after the war there will be no Nazis or fascists. The line of de- marcation will be between rightists and leftists, and there will be no in- betweens.
 Several big business men whose names would surprise you will be our leaders when we come out into the open. They are men not afraid to risk their fortunes, and they are men with clean records that the opposition won't be able to smear"
 Maertz. who has never done a days work except for the fascist cause, thumbed through a thick wad of $50 bills looking for his train ticket. s'Wel never have any trouble with finances he said. %'There are always people willing to contribute. It's not problem. :"
 Revealing the propaganda setup through which the fascist movement has been feeding dissension and race hatred to "all sorts of clubs and so- cieties" throughout the nation i'll preparation for the postwar crisis, Maertz said:
 At present we have no central or ganization as such. We can't have be- cause of the war. But if a story or pamphlet should come out that's sym pathetic to our cause, we can get 1t nationally circulated in two days. l send a copy to friends in organiza- tions. in couple of hundred cities. They mimeograph 1t and send 1t to their members.
 The Silver Shirt leader revealed that he had been travelling almost constantly during the political cam paign, aiding congressional candi- dates sympathetic to the fascist movement. He attended rallies in the vicinity and reported to Hoff- man frequently at the hotel where both were staying. Hoffman was reelected. He also ''took stock" of the situation in Texas, Milwaukee, Detroit and Salt Lake City. Brag- ging frankly about the work of the fascist movement, its natiOnalism and hatred of Jews, he predicted, <'In the next election we will have our own. candidates for Congress in many places"

 However, Judge A. L. Bartlett dis missed the companies attempt to end their union contracts when he ruled that they were under jurisdiction of the Natl.
