ready talking about a third world
war. l will say there are few
such men in America, that the
American people as whole want
peace, just as the Soviet people.
Those who are anxious to create
a rift between the two countries
may not love Russia, but neither
do they love America. A Spanish
song says:
Others know what they sing.
Some sing what they know
Those journalists know what
they are singing and the poor
Tennessee farmer sang only
what he knew. l hope that misled
people will soon stop repeating
these foolish and evil tales.
I remember that in the hardest
days of 1912 lieutenant of the
artillery gave the command:

1t is not we who make Wariike
speeches. 1t is not we who open
ly boast about secret war. And
we brought the master race to its
knees because every Soviet youth
knows that all races are equal,
that all have their place under
the sun. We did not fight against
a people; we fought against
Fascism. And / will say frankly
that those who now dream of
campaign against the Soviet Uil-
ion are just such Fascists, what
ever language they may speak.
Unfortunately, Fascism is not
German monopoly; it is manu-
featured in other countries as
well. Fascism is a campaign
against humanity. 1t is the cult
of brute force. Even if we are
presented with a wonderful dis
covery of physics instead of the

that those who would decide

half the time, in the habitual alb

Harwood, displeased by the

upon his eronies in the Approp-

Lovett of his salary.
After thunderous denunciation
of Lovett by Martin Dies on the
floor of the House as a'crackpot,
radical bureaucrat,' the Kerr

Motive in kidnapping
10f2Women and Child
|Mystifies Ohio Police
BY the Assoeioied Press

COLUMBUS, Ohio, Nov. 5.-Po-
lice today sought the second OF two
men purportedly involved in the
abduction Of two women and child
but were puzzled over the motive
for their actions, which included a
dash through Central Ohio, an
automobile accident and the in
timidation at gunpoint of the VIC
tins.
John w. Deweese, %, of Colum-
bus, one of the men, was charged
with abduction and automobile
theft yesterday after Roland e
McNamee, police chief of suburban
Bexley, said he had signed a state
ment that companion and he had
kidnapped Mrs. Morgan C. Penn OF
Bexley and later Mrs. Alice Eggles-
ton and her 4-year-old daughter OF
Springfield.
Chief McNamee said De Weese
gave no motive for the activities de-
scribed in his statement. The women
reported they were unharmed.
BiIlfold Leads to Arrest.
The police chief said billfold
dropped by De Weese at the scene
of the automobile accident led to
his arrest.
From accounts furnished to State
highway patrolmen and Bexley po-
lice by the victims and from De
Weese's statement, here is what the
police said occurred:
Mrs. Penn was driving In the SUBJ
urb Sunday night when two motor
lists shouted that her car was afire.
She stopped, only to be confronted
by man with gun who forced
| her into the car and took the wheel
Mrs. Penn said second man fol-
lowed in the other automobile.
Borrowed Automobile"
De Weese in his statement related
that he and a companion had been
riding in a borrowed automobile
and when they saw Mrs. Penn his
friend, whose name was not dis
closed, said he knew her.
It was then that Mrs. Penn heard
the shout that her car was afire and
stopped. Then De Weese's compar-
ion approached her, ordered her
back into the car at gunpoint and
drove away.
De Weese said he followed in the
other machine and tried to get the
man to stop. It was then that the
car he was driving overturned
When the other man went to his
assistance, Mrs. Penn jumped from
her car and ran to that of another
motorist who had stopped.
Taking Mrs. Penn's car, the mer
