Former Red Official
Tells Of Revolution
Plans al Hearing
By the Associofed Press

NEW YORK, Feb. ia Red
formula for destruction of the
United States Government was out
lined by former Communist Party
Official yesterday at deportation
hearing.
George Hewitt, a Negro, testify
ing at an immigration hearing on
a Greek American newspaperman,
said he once heard Prime Minister
Joseph Stain say the United States
was "a main citadel of capitalism
that must be destroyed"
Mr.. Stain made the statement in
Moscow in 1882 in the presence of
Earl Browder, then secretary-gen-
eral of the party in this country,
and Browder later repeated" the
Stain declaration in the United
States, the witness said.
Method Is Described.
Hewitt was asked how destruction
of the United States Government
was to be accomplished, and he
replied: -
"By following the lesson of the
Russian revolution in which every
day demands of the masses were
catered to by the party in
which every grievance served as a
brick to consolidate the masses
until the masses became sufficient
in number to storm machinery of
the capitalist state and set up their
own form of government"
Hewitt, MoscoW-trained former
member of the American Com
munist Party National Committee,
was a Government witness at
hearing for Peter Harisiades, A,
staff writer for the Greek-American
Tribune, a New York weekly pub
1ication.
Came to U. S. in 1916.
Harisiades, who came to this coun-
try from Greece in 1916, is charged
with belonging to an organization
advocating overthrow of the Ameri-
can Government by force. The or
ganization was identified as the
Communist Party by Examining In
spector Maurice A. Roberts.
In another deportation case, Mrs.
Beatrice johnson, As, promotion
manager for the New Masses, re-
Gently suspended publication, was
released from Ellis Island late yes
terday on $1,000 bond pending
hearing on a deportation warrant.
The bond was posted by the Amer
lean Committee for Protection of
Foreign Born.

Casey Expecting
To Go to Giants
| After Release
BY the Assoeiosed Press

NEW YORK, Sept. 20. - The
Brooklyn Dodgers plan to give Hugh
Casey his unconditional release at
the end of the season and the pitch
ing hero Of the 1947 World Series
says he expects to 90 to the Giants.
Harold Parrot, road secretary of
the Dodgers, confirmed that the 33-
year-old Highlander would be re.
leased after Casey had broken the
news in the South last night.
Casey, in a stopover at Charleston.
S. c., said he would get his release
and predicted he would sign with
the Giants.
i've always been a Durocher man
all the way through" he told the
News and Courier.
The durable highlander was out
of the lineup most of this season
because of back injury. Although
returned to the squad after q period
on the voluntary retired list, he
hadn't seen much action.
A 10-year man in the ma jors,
Casey appeared in as games with
Brooklyn last season in the role of
fireman" and won 10 while losing 4.

ing was created by a master of
craft. That master was
Manager George Stallings, who
made his pitchers letter-perfect
on every point of strength or
weakness of the Athletic bats
men (andD acquainted his play
ers with every point of Athletic
team play. ."
Billy was one of Stallings' ia
vorites because he had a lot of
dash and college spirit and
while he claims no credit for
setting the Braves on fire, 1t
was that spirit that sent the
miracle team hurtling to the
pennant.
I'VE clinched the flag in New
York against the Giants" Billy
told us. and it was there I saw
one of the greatest plays ever
made in baseball. I don't re-
member all the names, but the
Giants had the tying run on
second and the hitter knocked an
almost certain two-bagger to
the outfeld
Played Heads up Ball.
Johnny Evers was our second
baSeman. He took a quick look
over his shoulder to line up the
throw-in. but gave the hitter the
impression he wasn't even looking
for the ball The Giant slowed
down going to second and Johnny
took the ball with a backnand
catch-not looking, mind you-
and tagged him out. That was
the kind of ball the Braves
played all the way through when
they got started"
The second time Billy's leg
snapped meant the end of his
career with the Braves, but John
McGraw. fiery Giant manager
who liked Martins spirit, took
him on a year later ana even put
him in charge of New York's
second team coming north from
training camp.
He told me it was my big
chance Billy said. Told me
to show something in the games
coming north and hed put me on
his ball club. Well, it only took
nine days to get home and it
rained eight days and I never
did get my chance"

Shapiro Big Favorite.
lin Own Estimation,
To Defeat West

Make Shapiro, New York Jewish
lightweight, thinks Washington Is q
nice fight town and would like tc
work here regularly. Make is set tc
box Sonny Boy West, local light
weight, in the main event tomorrow
night at Griffith Stadium and the
quickest way to get steady employ
ment is to beat the popular West.
Make naturally intends to do that
and thinks he will. The ST. odds
favoring West don't worry him
From his conversations it is evident
he doesn't regard Sonny Boy as
highly as he did Charley Riley, q
ranking contender among the feath-
erweights he beat several months
ago.
Nobody gave me much of q
change against Riley, but it didn't
bother me. Charley is a good boy
but he didn't have the experience
had. Neither does West and that
makes the difference"
Shapiro does have the experience
edge on the local lightweight, as he
has been knocking around the Pre-
fight game for nearly 10 years.
The fight originally was scheduled
for last night, but was set back be-
cause of split lip West received ir
training. The lip appears healed
now. 1t did not bother Sonny Boy
yesterday in a four-round sparrine
session.
