action could be taken in the field
of prosecution.
AS he dug through the back
ground of the Communists, he
saw something which seemed
clearly to him to be a conspiracy,
icentered in Moscow, and aimed
at the overthrow by force and
violence of all non Communist
governments throughout the
world-including the United
States.
He saw the Communist Party
not as a political movement in
the ordinary political sense.
Neither was 1t an idealiStic
theory Of government. 1t was a
conspiracy so vast. so daring.

Itions and thinking of the Judao-

world. the Moslem world and all
religious beliefs.
Socialists Split
American left-wing Socialists
were split into two groups by an
internal fight over tactics. One
group wanted to form an Ameri-
can Communist Party immedi-
ately. The majority favored
capturing the Socialist Party.
The leftists met in two sepa-
rate conventions. One group or
ganized the Communist Labor
Party Of America on August 81
1919, while the other formed the
Communist Party of America the
next day. Actually. except on
minor points. there was little
difference in the character Of the
two.
Mr.. Hoover prepared legal
briefs on the Communist Party
of America and the Communist
Labor Party, and Attorney Gen.
eral Palmer chose these two or
CARNATIONS as his targets.
Runs Government
In it's essentials, Mr.. Hoover's
argument was that the Soviet
government was controlled by the
same men who controlled the
Russian Communist Party. that
4 this party advocated the over
throw of the United States Gov
eminent by force and violence
and that the two Communist
groups in the United States were
linked directly with the Russian
Communists.

Complaints Roll In
The outcry against injustices
in these raids was to be heard
for years. Complaints rolled in
not only from Communists and
other extremists, but from law
yers. labor leaders and news
papers, who protested that bu-

It was the usual noontime

Then the object exploded. It

Terrorism Again
The specter Of terrorism was
seen again in America.
Terrorism was not new in these
trying times of adjustment after
World War 1.
Earlier, on a soft summer night
the lights winked out one by
one in the fashionable homes on
Washington's r street NV. It
was nearing midnight.
A car drove through the tree
lined streets and swung into a
garage. Assistant Secretary of

rector of the Institute of Practical

First Class Ends
Auto Courses At
Prison Farm Here

Graduation of fourteen enrollees
of the first training class of the
Automotive School at the London
Prison Farm, has been hailed as
initial proof of the success of a
program sponsored by the Ohio
Automobile Dealers Association.
The Automotive School, the first
sponsored in an institution by a
trade association, got under way
last Spring. Cooperation of manu-
facturers with the Association, fur
nishing automobile and truck chas-
sis, component parts and tools, has
resulted in practical training of
future mechanics in a well-equip-
ped workshop.
M. r. Purdy, Van Vert, Presi-
dent of The Ohio Automobile Deal
ers Association, in congratuIating
Superintendent r. B. Eckle, Direc-
tor of Education j. Won Kanel and
Instructor Bernard Burns, of the
London Prison Farm, as well as
the men taking the course, hailed
the graduation as "the first fruits
of a forward step in not only re-
cruiting needed skilled automotive
mechanics but also as milestone
in practical rehabilitation of the
men, making them self-supporting
members of society when released
from the Farm"
The first class was organized
April 1, 1857. A report on its pro-
gram was highlight of the recent
Ohio Automobile Dealers Associa-
ton Convention forming part OF
the Presidents report given by re-
tiring President Edgar G.. Planck
of Columbus. William F. Mccoy OF
Wilmington, Chairman of til c
Training School Committee, read
a more detailed report by Director
of Education, j. Won Kanel.
A second class of fourteen mer
was started on August / and Lon
don Prison Farm officials reported
to r. H. Zimmerman, Executive
Secretary of The Ohio Automobile
Dealers Association, that another
class to replace the one graduated
Sunday, will be organized immedi-
ately. Mr.. Won Kanel told Zimmer.
man that seventy-eight men are or
the waiting list for the third enroll
ment.
Mr.. Zimmerman stated TO-DAY
that his Association is on record tc
lend encouragement to similar
training courses in public and paro.
chial schools and in adult extension
schools.

Two Deaths In
Earlier Railway
Accidents Here

Terry Nixon, ten-year-old son of
Mr.. and Mrs Richard Nixon, Gen.
ter Street, was critically injured
shortly after noon Saturday when
struck by a westbound New York
Central passenger train on the
Main Street crossing in London. He
was taken to Mt. Carmel Hospital
where his condition has been de-
Scribed as critical
A newspaperboy, young Nixon
was repeatedly petting stray dog
when he walked into the path of
the train, which was repeatedly
travelling at a speed of between 80
and 80 miles per hour. Witnesses
said the signal bells and lights
were working when the accident
occurred.
London Police Chief German
Clark identified the engineer of
the train as L. c. Florio Columbus;
the fireman, R. B. Thompson, Co
lumbus and the conductor, S. ].
Baros, Cleveland.
Reports indicated the boy was
thrown thirty feet when struck by
the diesel unit of the train He suf-
fered a fractured skull and internal
injuries.

cident on Main Street crossings in
less than a year, and the third in
less than two months Mrs. Arthur

On October A, one block south
on Main Street at the Pennsylvania
Railroad crossing, Jerry Burt, z,
son of Mr.. and Mrs. Earl Burt was
killed when struck by an eastbound
train, shortly after a westbound
train cleared the crossing.
Early this year two persons
were seriously injured when the
car in which they were riding was
struck by train after it reported
ly ran onto the tracks in front of
an oncoming New York Central
train at the same crossing where
the Saturday accident occurred
Reports at the time indicated the
warning signals were operating
when the auto moved onto the
! tracks.
None of the crossings in London
are guarded by gates nor men.
Most are controlled by manually
operated signals. One signal tower
controls both the New. York Gen.
trail and Pennsylvania crossing sig
mails in London.
(This newspaper, in an editorial
| last week, took the stand that
gates should be erected to prevent
such accidental injuries as happen
ed Saturday, pointing out the fact
that excessive costs" of gates
would be far less than the value of
a single life.)
