COMMON MAN INVASION FEARED

democrats.
Big Money Comes From The Few
And if Reece was interested in facts
instead of scare propaganda aimed al
labor and the common man in politics
he would be compelled to admit thai
the worse violators of at least the
spirit (if not the letter. of Hatch law
Limitations" have been the enemies
of the New Deal and hackers of repub
lican candidates. To get around the
law in the 1910 campaign, there were
100 so-called independent and intra-
state independent committees, groups
or individuals" working for WILKES
election and Al such organizations
supporting the democrats.
Reactionaries like Reece want to
make it difficult for ordinary people to
aid liberal candidates and measures to
protect the kind of unfair financial.
political advantage held, for example,
by the 10 prominent families who
shelled out $633,744 trying to defeat
Roosevelt in 1910.
DUPONT Family Heads List
In the last three presidential cleo
tions the powerful DUPONT family
alone spent a total of $917,1S2 on out
fits all over America fighting Roose-
welt and other liberal-labor candidates.
To get by the Hatch law in 1910 no
Du Pont gave over $5,OOO-that is, to
any one single committee. But Lam
mont Du Pont, to name only one, con-
tributed $4,000 in one, three and four
thousand dollar chunks to Ia organiza-
TONS
Although he resides in Delaware
Lammont Du Pont handed over thous-
ands of dollars to other state repub-
lican committees-including $4,000 to
the republican executive committee in
Recess own state of Tennessee.
Reece's Record In Congress
1t is not difficult to understand why
Reece is so frantic about CIO-PAC ac-
tivity when one is familiar with his
own politica record
Recess record in congress places
him on the same level as reactionary
republicans from the north like Clare
Hoffman and poll tax democrats from
the south like John Rankin.
According to the April Is New Re-
public's survey of the ex-congress-
mans voting record, Reece has, among
other measures, voted against public
works. the NYA; loans to small home
owners; roll back of prices; incentive
pay and crop insurance for farmers;
increased REA appropriations; aid to
our wartime allies; lend-lease; con-
scription; extension of the draft. He
has, however voted for the Dies Com
mittee; the permanent Rankin witch
hunt committee; The Smith anti
strike bill; the Case anti-union bill.
One of the last tasks Reece per
formed as a congressman for selfish
interests was to introduce legislation
aimed at hamstringing and making
more difficult the work of the Federal
Trade Commission in protecting con-
iumers.

H. S. Bruce, Editor
The Peoples Voice
] Box 1913
Helena, Montana
Dear Sir:
Although red-baiting has become a
by-word and a standard practice with
the capitalist press these days, it APP
pears somewhat of surprise to see
that the Peoples Voice has been
added to the chorus of war-monger-
ing red-baiters. That lengthy TRADE
on the Communist Party by Caroline
Bramrher that you carried in the Sep
TENDER goth issue looks about as APP
propriate in the pages of the Voice as
a bottle of poison would on the din
ner table.
AS a Communist wish to state that
Miss Brammer's diatribe is filled with
misstatements and misinformation
about the Communist Party. For in
stance, she states that party members
never admit membership; she infers
that Communists "aim at overthrow
ing our present form of government;
she says that "the Communist, being
political fanatic, puts Russia before
teh United States.
These, and a number of other care
less distortions of the program and
policies of the Communist party lead
me to the conclusion that Miss Bran
mer either does not know the differ
ence between Communism and rheum-
atism land therefore ought to keep
her mouth shut on the subject) or
that she is deliberately slandering the
Communist party with view to be-
coming some sort of female Pegler
And speaking of nuisances, it is my
candid opinion that if there is one
nuisance greater than another in our
country's political life, it is these self
same, know-it-all columnists and COM
mentators. They, not the communists,
brought about the present day confus-
ion on both foreign and domestic is
sues
l hope that in the future when your
paper feels constrained to discuss the
Communist party, you will stick closer
to the facts and the truth. That much,
at least can be expected from the
Voice where it cannot be expected
from the corporation press. = Yours
Pat King.

West Is Drafting Law
10 End Loiiering in
ID. c. Public Schools

Lettering about District public
schools would be banned under q
proposed law being drafted by Cor
poration Counsel Vernon z. West.
Mr.. West said yesterday he would
prepare . draft Of the statute for
submission to the Commissioners.
The city heads approval would send
the measure to Congress for en-
actment.
The proposed curb grew out Of
q report submitted Tuesday to the
Board Of Education by q special
committee Of the Federation of
Civic Associations. It said teen
age loiterers In and about the Dis
trict's colored high schools are in
terfering with classes, promoting
gambling and n1oiesting girls.
The report said police were yirtu-
any poWeriess under existing stat
utes to get rid Of loiterers and
urged immediate remedial action
II was referred to School Supt. Ho-
bart M. Corning, who asked the
corporation counsel for advice.
Mr. West said principals now have
the power to evict loiterers from
school property, but added that diffi-
Guilty arose over the question of
whether or not such persons had
legitimate business.
He doubted the wisdom of maxine
parents criminally responsible for
violations committed by minors on
school property, one remedy sug-
gested in the report, but added that
1t might be good idea" to make
the parents or guardians answerable
to civil action.
Whatever the solution, Mr.. West
said he firmly believed some form
OF legislation Is required. E. r,
