' (Continued from page 6) He does not know whether It was north or south of the Clackamas river, the date of the arrest nor the name of his friend. The only tangible thing he did know was that it was near an island in the Willamette river, and I can see that island from the window of my office; therefore, his test! mony was as for naught. 3. The testimony of the third witness, Mr. Myers, was to the effect that he was arrested on the super-highway In 1935. The facts are that he was arrested on Oc tober 16, 1932; and If my mem ory servces me rignt, tbat was before the super-highway was built. In other words, a man's repu tation was placed at stake in a newspaper circulated throughout the counties with no means of protecting himself except the slow grind of legal procedure In a criminal libel action. The jury, in the first ballot cast, returned a verdict of guilty, pronouncing this so-called edtior an unscrupulous liar. By virtue of the fact that your editorial Is also based upon false premise, I do not expect to see a corrected editorial; but In justice to the honorable men who happen to be justices of the peace of the state of Oregon, whom I happen to represent as president of their association, I can not help but protest that even In editorials, when the facts are all public property and can be obtained, that they should be 100 per cent correct and no excuse for other wise. I also believe that helpful co operation of the press will bring a better understanding and solve man questions, where unjust criticism never will accomplish anything. C. F. RICHARDSON. BROWDER'g COMPLAINT To the Editor: This man-Brow-der, leading a party financed and controlled by Russia and whose openly avowed purpose is the de struction, by force, of the US gov ernment and substituting the Rus sian form, claims In his effort to get a new trial that "his rights as a "citizen have been contravened" and spoke to an Immense crowd In NY with a large death mask of Lenin as a fetish. Lenin being the only god of his (the Russian) party. If he to a good citizen Why the need of his undented, frequent trips to Russia for orders (and presumably for funds) or why need he repeatedly perjure him self to get forged passports. How long would one last in his Russia, should he even hint dis approval of the government. Is not the TJS too lenient with those who are taking advantage of our liberty to organize to try to de stroy it? J. E. PUTNAM, Rt. 2, Salem.
