peaches are halved, drop them in
weak solution of vinegar and salt
water Zone tablespoon salt to a
gallon of cold water) to prevent dis

Peaches may be canned by the
cold pack or hot pack methods, but
hot packing and processing in water

torious hoodlum, defending him
in court. 1t has accepted money
from sources close to the gang.
It's chairman, William Scott
Stewart, is attorney for Paul
"The Waiter" Ricca and other
Capone gangsters. 1t has re-
ferred cases at least once to the
law firm of Bieber & Brodkin,
"mouthpieces" for the Guzik-
Levin gang.
And now Stewart, while de-
Tending gangsters who use force
and violence" has sent an anti
Communist political question
naire to leaders of the CCLC-
a QUESTIONABLE that in effect re-
peats AL Capone's thesis on Com
munism.
THE STAR learned this week
that Stewart, in sending out the
QUESTIONABLE, explained:
NJ would like to be certain that
we are no front"
He added the pious thought
that he wishes he could swear
positively" that the CCLC is mot
subversive.
HERE are some of the cues
tons Stewart wants the CCLC's
leaders to answer:
do you belong to the Com
munist Party? Cor to- Communist
or Fascist fronts? Do you be-
ieve that members of the Com
munist Party should be permitted
to serve as officials or members
OF our board (or) of our
organization?
do you believe that the form

of our government should be

or any other unlawful means?
Would you be willing TO take
directions or receive suggestions
from any foreign power as to
your course of conduct in our
organization?
IF our country went to war
with Russia where would your
sympathies be? Do you believe
that our organization is Com
munistic? Do you intend to make
every effort in your power to
keep our organization from be-
ing Communistic or pro-Com-
munistic?"
After demanding answers to "a
such questions, Stewart asks
blandly:

Finally Harris was stopped by

The committee subsequently

CCLC tests political
purity Of it's leaders

AL Capone wrote an article
for Liberty magazine some
20 years ago, in which he
said:
"Bolshevism is knocking
at our gates; we can't afford
to let it in. We have to or
ganize ourselves against it,
and put our shoulders to-
gether, and hold fast. We
must keep America whole
and safe and unspoiled. We
must keep the worker away
from Red literature and Red
ruses. We must see that his
mind remains healthy"
After all these years, AL
Capone's plan is now a real
ity at least in the Chicago
Civil Liberties Committee.

Accuse Germuno Gid
Of assault on unionist

A charge of assault and
battery this week faced bell
icose Norman Harris, inter
national representative of
the United Steelworkers of
America (CIO).
Harris. one Of the cogs in the
ruthless machine of Joe Germano.
USA district director. was ac-
cused of slugging a rank and
file member of Republic Steel
Local 1888 who dared to speak
up for democracy in the union.
Harris was one of the steel
union men who became notorious
for his part in the smuggling of
progressive labor leaders at the
violent state CLIO convention here
last year.
g.. Victim of Harris latest assault
was Jim Krause, 6555 Engleside,
who had narrowly escaped an
earlier attempt by Harris and 10
goons to waylay him.
THE CASE was scheduled to
come up before Judge Joseph B.
Hermes in South Chicago Court
about mid-week.
A few hours later, members Of
the local were to vote on recon-
mendations of a hand-picked trial
committee which had voted 81
to expell Krause from the union
for life.
According to Krause. the first
hostile move made against him
by Harris came on June 7, when
he opposed certain HARRISBURG
ported policies at union meet
ing.

when the City Council Housing
Com m tee was to decide
whether it would take action to
build public housing on nine sites

liens of Chicago.
All day Monday in the steamy
City Council Chambers, the
Housing Committee, headed by
Aid. William E. Lancaster (37th)
heard representatives of more
than 80 civic groups speak out
for varied reasons-against the
nine sites selected by the COM
mittee for public relocation hous-
ing development.
Then, on Tuesday, the Com
mittee blandly announced it
would convene Wednesday at
1890 am. to take action on its
program.
OPPOSITION to the housing
sites which came out in the
packed Monday open hearing
was crystalized by Sidney Or
dover, chairman of the Housing
and Rent Committee of Cook
County's Progressive Party. Or

rather represent the overwhelm-
ing weight of pressure that has
been brought to bear by various
aldermen and other officials
seeking to emasculate the pro-
gram and to gain advantage for
certain private interests.
ORDOWER scored the condi-
tons existing in the nine sites,
different in each case, which
make them wholly unacceptable
to Chicagoans. Some promote
the present pattern of Negro
ghettoes," Ordower said, "others
are stretched out along railroad
