Red Case Histories
BY T EPSON

He became not only a leader
in his local union, but in the
Cleveland City Union Coun'
Gil and in Ohio labor circles as
we'll. All this time he kept his
membership in the Communist
Party a secret, denouncing any
one who accused him of being {
Red as a "Red-baiter" or "anti
unionist." Working under-cove1
in this way, he has for five
years been one of the most val
liable tools of the Communist
Party in the Midwest.
2. In March, 1916, Gen. Doug
las Macarthur removed from
the staff of the Tokyo "Stars
and Stripes" an Army sergeant
whose writings were said to be
favored with Communist
thought. The sergeant protested
loudly that he was not a Com
munist- He said he was being
prosecuted. Less than a year latel
after his discharge, he was {
by-line writer on the New York
Daily Worker, Communist Part,
organ in the U. S.
Check-up on this mans record
showed he had been a top REQ
leader in Reading, Pa. In 1910,
he tried to get his name on the
ballot as Communist candidate
for Congress. In election irregu-
larities he was charged
with perjury, found guilty, SEN
fenced to a year in jail. De
Tended by Communist Party
he was able to avoid
serving sentence. He moved tc
Waterbury, Conn.,, and there be-
came a Communist Party leader
until he was indicted into the
Army in 1914.
8. In February, 1912, a gov
eminent .employe was investi-
gated on a tip that he belonged
to Communist organizations
He denied, under oath, that he
was a party member. A month
later, a report was sent to the
head of the agency employing
this man, proving that he was a
member of the party working
out of the national offices.
In 1914 he was elected TO the
National Committee of the Com
munist Political Association,
which, in 1915, became again
the Communist Party. The par
ty constitution requires. that
members of the National Com
mittee must have been party
members in good standing for
four years. So he must have
been a member of the party
when he took a government oath
that he was not.

er than you can spit.

These and many other ques-
tons. of policy and method are
to be left up to Congress and
not presented to Congress by the
President as a packaged pro-
gram. The impression that the
President would make a COM
prehensive recommendation to
Congress was created by the
fact that the preliminaries look
ing to foreign aid have been
conducted by the Admins
tration. The Marshall plan came
from the Secretary of State. The
inventory of our resources to
determine how much we could
safely afford was made by a
committee headed by Secretary
|of the Interior Krug' Other pre-
paratory work was done by a
committee headed by Secretary
of Commerce Hartman.
Function of Congress
All this may have created an
impression that the President
would recommend to Congress
a program about foreign aid, as
apparently he intends about in.
flation and high prices. But in
fact the preparatory work is the
function of the Administration.
The writing and enactment Of a
program, which uses the. pre-
liminary work as information, is
the function of Congress. 1t goes

bacco that has shown up on any
market this season.
What is more, Mr. Herring,
estimating for the fortunate
four, said a mere five acres of
the good earth yielded up this
pay-off package. Tommy. the
Lightning Calculator, comes up
with the answer that this
amount gave these four gentle
men an average of n few pen
pies more than $780, per acre
for their trouble. Even if you
wanted to 60 to all the bother
to figure up the expenses these
gentlemen went to raise this ex-
traordinarily good run Of tobac-
co and do the proper deducting,
that's still a good gross or net
figure for anybody to get from
one acre Of land anywhere.
Either by accident or purpose,
these tobaccos, good cutters and
fine leafs, were resting side by
side on the floor Of one ct Wal
lace's four warehouses and
when the buyers came by and
took quick looks at the offer
ings they grabbed them up like
they'd just been let in on a new
gold strike. Experts standing by
came up with the words that
the row of tobacco on which
these $$$$$$ leafs were reposinN
was the best single row Of to-
bacco they'd seen this market
ing year.
There were 30 piles Of these
good tobaccos stashed together
and 2,459 pounds Of the lots
brought from $4,000 to 5000
per hundred, another matter
that is something Of a record
for that much tobacco to bring
here this season.
Mr.. Herring, who, upon being
told that the figures for his sale
might be made public, asked
that his initials, A.. B., be used,
IL from Watha, around which
place there IL a great deal Of
good tobacco among other
things, grown. The reason for
requesting the use Of the initials
Is that Mr.. Herring is known
hereabouts as Benny. But, he
pointed out, "there're at least
a million Benny Herrings
around here''
The Messrs. Albertson, Pick
EFT, and Raynor are al! from
around Beaulaville, around,
which, too, there are lots and
lots Of pounds Of good tobacco
grown.
While there has been a good
deal said this year about tobac-
co generally bringing a great
deal less money than last year
the four gentlemen Of this
screed all agreed today that
good tobacco still brings what
the trade calls the top dollar.

Dave S. Nelson, supervisor of

growers indicated that a con-
siderable amount of the crop re-
manned to be sold. However, he
pointed out that the volume was
levelling off to the extent that
local warehousemen were in ex-
cellent shape to handle the daily
offerings promptly.
The demand continued strong
on the local market this week
and the price average showed
no drop. Quality of offerings con-
tinued fair, although little of the
tobacco reached that of the 1916
