madness is this?
A very calculated madness.
We, who fought for our very ex-
istence against Japanese fascism,
are witnessing the creation, here
in America, of the equivalent OF
the japanese Thought Police.
WE, who fought for our very
existence against German Fas-
cism, are witnessing a deliberate
attempt to create, here, a native
gestapo.
And this is by the record, taken
from Hoover's own words.
But there will be some opposi-
ton. We will not be frightened
out of our most basic constitu.
tienaI rights by such antics. The
Department of Justice was not
created as a secret police to in
stitute reign of terror against
all Americans who believe III
freedom and justice.
The people still have voice.
That voice says to Mr.. Hoover
BE glamor boy il you must
but get after the real crinIi-
nails. Get after, the meat con-
spiraey! Get after the lynchers
and racists. Get after the muir
derers! That's what we hired
you for, not to try to be two
bit Adolf Hitler! And remem-
Der that we, the people, hired
YOU"

from Page l

Congressional subcommittee in
charge of Justice Department ap-
preparations, he told how he had
learned that the Justice Depart
ment asked to be excused from
the job of stamping out the black
market.
Well, there it is, only a few
gleamings from the9record of the
Department of Justice headed
by one j. Edgar Hoover-in rela
ton to. the enforcement of justice
and against crime. Very interest
ing Apparently the comic strips
will have to change their titles
to:
''Crime doesn't pay = except
certain types of crime
But along with all of this,
there is very oninous and a
very significant counterpart. j.
Edgar Hoover has discovered the
real American criminal. Not the
gunman or the racketeeer or the
crooked politician! Not the racist,
the lyncher, the mob leader, the
Christian frontier. Not the black
marketeef. Not the hired killer
of the corporations! None of
these.
THE REAL American criminal,
according to a careful reading of
the last several speeches of j.
Edgar Hoover, is he who believes
in American democracy. The man
who Hoover is pledged to de-
stroy, root and branch, is the
American liberal.
And in his recent speech at the
American Legion convention in
San Francisco, j. Edgar Hoover
pledged himself to the destruc-
ton of all those allied with the
progressive movement in Amer
lea.
Yes-one may well ask what

Agency Placed 49l
Disabled Veterans
During Last Month

DR.. Fons A. Hathaway, state di-
rector of the United States EN-
ployment Service, announced to-
day that a total of TAO handi-
capped placements, of which 491
were disabled veterans, were
made by the United States En-
ployment Service offices in the
state during the month of Octo-
Der.
DR.. Hathaway stated, This UNI
precedented increase in place
ment of the handicapped can be
attributed to the results of the
campaign National Employ the
Handicapped Week which was
held the first week in the month.
In other words, while 357 We're
placed during the week of the
campaign, the momentum gained
during this period made it pos
sible to achieve the gratifying to-
tails for the month"
In concluding, Dr. Hathaway
stated, The continuing assistance
given by the press, radio, civic
organizations, veterans organiza-
tons, and others in urging the
placement of the handicapped in
suitable jobs is expected to result
in an increasing volume of place
ments for this group"

County's $500
Not Available
For Publicity

Monroe County Commissioners
agreed tea weeks ago to give
$4,000 to a fund to advertise Key
West, provided similar sums were
given by the city and the Over
seas Bridge Commission, but the
county'S amount will not be
available and will be used for
some other purpose.
Reason for that circumstance
is the decision of the State Board
of Administration that the Bridge
Commission cannot use any of its
funds for advertising purposes.
That decision regarded a re-
quest made by the commission
to spend $4,000 to advertise the
Overseas Highway, independent
of any arrangement with the
county or city.
The city has not yet provided
its $4,000, and, even should that
be done, the county's $4,000 will
not gbe available.
County Clerk Ross G. Sawyer
explained that the intention of
the county commissioners was to
take the money out of race track
funds, but, as the bridge COM
mission cannot match the coun-
tvs fund, the latter, Sawyer said,
will be used for some other pur-
pose.

rison, whether sodomy had. been
committed"

1T would be impossible to state
that" Garrison answered.
Stevenson also said that he
could not state" what had oc-
Cured but his testimony strong
ly indicated such a possibility.
The first witness this morning
was DR.. Lewis c. Walden, former
Naval medical officer, who testi-
fled that he made a superficial
examination of Hobbs body on
the morning of July IS.
Sewelrs testimony was more
detailed. He said he was Chief
Boatswain and Officer in Charge
of Naval Intelligence at the Key
West Base at the time. He is now
a civilian. Sewell opened several
packages in front of the jury con-
tanning the clothes of the dead
man which the investigator had
sent to the FBI after the crime.
These consisted of blood
stained pillowcase, dungarees
found near the body and a blan-
ket.
Photographs of the body intro
duced by the prosecution drew
sharp criticism from Judge Hol-
land. "The photographs IN the
first place are Objectionable he
said. while Garrison was testify
ing. There is no occasion for the,
pictures and the body should not
have been turned"
Watson, short, extremely dark
negro, sat throughout the pro-
ceedings with a blank expression
on his face.
