Reds Riot Against NY. Movie

Communists SO frankly that the
New York police were on the
alert.
The preliminary speaker at the
garden was a notorious thief and
Stacker, nimble opportunist in re-
ligious matters and a preacher of
the Communist policies and pro-
gram. He is known by the alias Of
William S. Gailmor. His original
name was William Margolis. He
changed to Gailmor after he had
been caught stealing automobiles in
New York.
When Henry Wallace set out on
his northwestern tour last winter.
Gailmor bobbed up in the troupe
in the role of money-raiser. He
discoursed a patter to loosen UP the
suckers and he and his assistants
were using large milkcan to carry
off the collections.
The New York Herald Tribune
had reporter along who wrote a
special story about Gailmor. 1t was
amusing and altogether favorable.
It made no mention of his COM
munistic associations or his Grim
inal past.

U. S. DEFENSE CHIEFS haven't

This is understandable. ~
However, there is another kind of
Pearl Harbor which may hit the

chiefs will be just as guilty of ne

The most important, neglected
chapter of war-prevention today
