time restrictive measures and to
dissolve jingoistic associations al

Social Democrats said they would
attack the government land refor-

mild" 1t would take much of
Japan's agricultural lands from the
wealthy and redistribute them
among small farmers, with repay

Plans for improving the people S
livelihood also are to be presented

Leo Gorcey, Huntz Hall and Gabriel Dell are once more teamed with their latest recruit, tousle-haired Billy Benedict, in free-for-all fun fest. but with additional thrills in action and suspense thrown in.

The charge involves a series of warehouse robberies. Gorcey ob- tains permission to pose as dishon- orably discharged soldier to further investigate, and eventually enlists the aid of the police, the FBI and the entire East Side Kids gang to clear up the situation
