Home Of Red Leader
Is Wrecked by Mob
In Columbus, Ohio
BY the Asseeioied Press

COLUMBUS, Ohio, Mar. 3l.-Two
weeks of heckling by stones and
telephone calls were climaxed last
night by the storming of the home
of a self-proclaimed Communist
leader.
A crowd of 300 watched and
cheered 30 or 40 persons who broke
into the southside house occupied
by Frank Hashmall, 28-year -old
former New York college student.
He, his wife and child were absent.
Before police came to read the
riot act, the gang broke all the win
dows and much Of the furniture, but
left untouched four bookcases filled
with Communist and other litera-
ture.
May Seek Custer.
Sheriff Ralph Paul announced he
planned to see whether Hashmall,
who calls himself executive secre-
tary of Franklin County Commu-
nists, could be declared a public
menace and forced to leave town.
Hashmall refused to talk to re-
porters about the incident.
He came here two weeks ago and
announced his position in public
statements. Newspapers smoked
out his telephone number, but one
paper published it with the wrong
exchange. The owner of that tele-
phone complained it was ringing all
the time and every time he an
swered he got abuse.
A stone was thrown through
Hashmalls window Saturday. Then
two men knocked on his door. There
was a disturbance and all three
went to police headquarters. HASH
mall failed to file complaint and
the men were released but police
promised to patrol his street.
Police Read Riot Act.
Last nights affray started after
the gang began throwing stones
through the windows A patrol car
scattered them, but an hour later
they returned.
Forty policemen were sent to the
scene. but the raiders were on the
sidewalk when they arrived. Police
Capt. Joseph Tfbe read the riot act
ordering them to "disperse and de-
part to your several homes or suffer
the consequences of the law"
They began to do so and in an
hour all was quiet again.
Hashmall and a small group of
followers attempted to pass out
Communits literature at the Timken
Roller Bearing Co. last week. Tim
ken workers tore up the pamphlets.
Police prevented violence.
A few days later, another attempt
was made to pass out literature at
the Timken plant. This time the
pamphlets not only attacked the
Marshall plan, but the way the
Timken workers had acted previ-
ously One of the literature passers
was "slugged," Hashmal claimed.

The invitation was reseinded this

in barring Locke and they'd like to
see something done about it." Man

Demaret was quoted as saying
Locke has done more for American
