CALL TICKET
REACTIONARY
New York. June 13 (P) Earl
Browder, general secretary of the
communist party, said today the
nomination of Governor Alfred Lan
don and Colonel Frank Knox "con
firms fully the communist party es
timate that the republican banner
serves to rally all of the most re
actionary forces in America."
"Landon was Hearst's man."
Browder said, in a formal statement,
"long before the rest of the country
learned to pronounce his name.
Knox was Hearst's general manager
for years.
"A pitiful effort was made in
Cleveland to hide the fascist face of
Hearst with a liberal stage-setting.
We are asked to believe that Wall
Street. Morgan, the du Ponts, Mel
lon, Hearst, have retired from poli
tics or that overnight they became
progressive and liberal."'
- Amplifying his prepared state
ment, Browder discussed the posi
tions of the republican and demo
cratic parties and declared:
"In the beginning, when the gen
tlemen of the Liberty League sup
ported the new deal. It had some
fascist tendencies but now. all of
these . gentlemen have deserted to
the republican party.
VWe don't withdraw any of our
criticism of the new deal, but we
feel the main fascist course cen
ters around the republlcan-Hearst-Liberty
League crowd.
"The democratic administration
with all of its evils, would not be so
bad as the republicans. However,
the communists do not choose be
tween two evils. We will have our
own national ticket in the field
and we. will make a vigorous cam
paign in behalf of that ticket.
"In fighting fascism and the fas
cist course of the republicans, we
will belter serve our cause by build
ing up a strong force to the left of
the new deal."

SEEK REBUILDING
OF RUINED DOCK
ATPT.ORFORD
San Francisco, June 13 (flV-Gil
bert E. Gable, president of the Gold
Coast railroad and otner corpora-
tions Interested in the development
of Curry county, Oregon, conferred
here today with engineers about re
building the port Orf ord dock, which
was damaged by a storm last Jan
uary. Gable said he had not conferred
with bankers here about financing
the dock and railroad developments,
explaining no stock or shares would
be offered the public oecause private
eastern capital was carrymg on the
work. .
He stated the railroad, on which
he expected work to start some time
next' year, would extend 95 miles
from Port Orford south to the Ro
gue river and thence along the river
to Leland. a few milea norm or
Grants .Pass.
The interstate commerce commis
sion granted a certificate or con
venience, and necessity to the rail
road last April li he'said.
Terming the region "the last fron
tier," Gable said that in Curry
county there Is not even a wagon
road over the Cascade mountains
into the interior and no incorporat
ed towns in the 3,500,000 acres. ..
"The railroad will be a combina
tion passenger and freight," he said.
"It will require about a year to
build, employing between 1200 and
1500 men. There will be no grade
on the road of over one percent, the
average being one-haif of one per
cent." He said the line would tap an
area rich in copper.' coal, lumber
and iron ore.
Development was delayed, ha ex
plained, because of difficulty in con
vincing interests that If the area
were opened by a railroad all par
tes would benefit-. , .
His main reason for visiting here
was to consult engineering firms on
rebuilding of- the Port Orford dock.
which originally cost $450,000. A
storm caused $150,000 damage to the
dock.- :
"It Is the biggest private develop
ment of arm. corporation, with the
exception of the government, in the
world," Gable declared "We antici
pate a slow growth-and do not ex
pect to make much money out of it. '
Difficulties have been encountered
because of personnel troubles, he
added, but he said he believes
"things would go well from now on."
' Marriage licenses have been ap
plied for by the following: Ken

MURDER PLOT
FOR INSURANCE
BEING PROBED
Springfield, Mass., June 13 (LP)
Investigation by the sMte board of
registration on pharmacy of sales of
a patented tonic containing arsenic
was requested by District Attorney
Thomas F. Moriarty today in con
nection with purported mass mur
ders to , collect "speculative Insur
ance." Authorities Suspected racketeers
may have murdered 50 and possibly
more heavily-insured persons dur
ing the past 15 years in the Chlco-pee-Ludlow-lndian
Orchard area.
Three recent deaths under inquiry
were believed caused by poison. The
victims previously were supposed to
have died as result of heart at
tacks or accidents
The Boston Mutual Life Insurance
company filed bills In equity today
seeking to cancel two $1,000 policies
on the life of Frank Kroll of Lud
low, who died May 25 presumably
from' a fall downstairs at his home.
Kroll's death waa one ot those be
ing investigated. -
Center of the probable racket was
an "insurance conscious" Industrial
area of about 60,000 population.
All three men whose deaths were
being investigated were aaid to ha e
been heavily insured by an unnamed
company which reportedly had writ
ten 300 live policies in Ludlow
alone.
Routine Inquest into the death of
Frank Halgas, Ludlow laborer, un
covered the alleged racket. Halgas,
who was said to have carried be
tween $8,000 and $10,000 Insurance,
supposedly waa killed by an auto
mobile near his home April 4. Trial
Judge George B. Haas of Ludlow
found during the Halgas Inquest,
however, that the victim's body
'contained so much poison that it
is apparent a serious crime has been
committed, which calls for a most
searching investigation."
Judge Haas said there have been
"between 35 and 50 suspicious
deaths" in Ludlow, Chicopee and
Indian Orchard in the past 15 years.
"By suspicious," he said. "I mean
that many of them were insured
by outsiders for amounts they
themselves were unable to carry."
