COl'RT JOH FOR FRANK
I.AI1 TO LEFT SLANT
WASHINGTON, Aug. 24. There's a
sad disappointment in More for those
whe expect the anti-monopoly com
mittee's congressional members to
keep the committee investigators ra
check. Ostensibly, the committee
Une-up Is six New Dealers from the
executive departments, and six mem
bers of congress, headed by Senator
Joseph C. O'Mahoney of Wyoming,
who has been soothingly predicting:
there "will be no witch-hunt." But,
In all but name, there arc seven
New Dealers from the executive de
partments, and only five members
of congress now on the committee.
The fact Is that Representative
Edward C. Elcher. an able Democrat
from Iowa, has been promised the
succession to John Hanes' place on
the securities and exchange commis
sion. In these matters, there may
always be a slip-up. but thee can
be no question that Etcher has re
ceived the most authoritative as
surances, and that' the assurances
have been confirmed by the presi
dent himself. In expectation of be
coming an SEC commissioner, Elcher
is not running for re-election.
Elcher is one of the six congres
sional members of the anti-monopoly
committee. He wac the only New
Dealer nnmcd by the vice-president
and Speaker Bankhead. In any case,
he probably would have voted with
the committee's members from the
executive branch. . Now it may be
taken as certain that he will do w.
Of course, when congress recon
venes In January, he will be forced
to give up his congressional com
mittee membership. But. by that
time, the Investigators will have re
celved their authorizations; funds
will have been appropriated, and
public hearings will have been held
No mater how much It may be de
sired to check the committee's course
it will then be Impossible to do so.
The anti-monopoly Investigation ur
the last and biggest weapon In the
armory of the New Deal left wing

EDITOR DBURES
Chairman of New York
Antifascist Committee
Is Witness in Un-American
Activities Inquiry
NEW YORK. Aug. 24. (AP) j
Called before a congressional sub- j
committee investigating un-Amcrl- j
can activities, Olrolamo Valentl, anti- j
fascist editor, declared today he
would present evidence of what he
called "an organized movement of
Mussolini agents to undermine our
democracy and fasclstlze the Italians
living in America."
Valentl, who said he was chair
man of a New York anti-fascist
committee, was the first witness
called before a three-man section of
the special house committee headed
by Rep. Martin Dies (D.. Texas)
which has been holding hearings in
Washington.
Says Fascists Ignored
Valentl. former editor of La Tampa
Libra. Italian language newspaper
which has suspended publication,
arrived with a subpoena calling for
his appearance "with all documents
of a fascist character in your pos
session."
"Much has been said and done
about the activities of the nazls and
the communists In the United
States." Valentl said in a prepared
statement before the hearing. "Very
Htle Importance has been attached
by the Washington authorities, the
press and public opinion at large, to
the activities of the Italian fascists.
And yet, the fascist activities are
well concerted, well carried out and
very subversive, in that they tend
to undermine our democratic insti
tutions."
Picture Cited
Valentl, who said he planned to
start a new anti-fascist daily, to be
called "II Popolo." declared he had
p.cture showing Gaetano Vecchl-
ottl. Italian consul here, participat
ing in a fascist military meeting In
Morrlstown. N. J.
"The Dies committee . has not
proved direct participation of Berlin
or Moscow here." he said, "but we
have this picture of the Italian con-
sul participating In a fascist cele
bration."
Veechiottl sailed last month for a
vacation in Italy.
WASHINGTON, Aug, 24. (AP)
The house committee on un-Amcrl-
can activities studied today a state
ment California communists were
told to support the Democratic party
as a protection against the "danger
which would result If our foreign
policy were changed."
The statement was attributed to
William Schnelderman, secretary of
the communist party In California,
by Miss Margaret Kerr of Los Angeles.
Miss Kerr, an officer of the Better
American federation, gave the com
mittee a detailed report about a
communist meeting In Los Angeles
last March 31. She did not say spe
cifically what "danger" Schneider
man feared, but Indicated he be

Philadelphia Prison Deaths
PHILADELPHIA. Aug. 24. (API
Two county prison guards were held
without ball on ' homicide charges
today after their arrest In connection
with tho deaths of four hunger-striking
convicts in punishment cells paid
to have been heated to the suffoca
tion point by steam radiators.
PHILADELPHIA, Aug, 24. (P) A
plcttlre of death among convicts
driven "stark mad" by steam heat
In an "alr-tlght cell block" was drawn
today by two orflclals Investigating
tho deaths of four hunser-strlking In
mates of the Philadelphia county
prison.
Coroner Charles H. Hersch said
autopsies disclosed the four describ
ed by Warden William B. Mills as
agitators" In a strike of 800 pris
oners died of suffocation In pun-
isnment cells where their nude, bat
tered bodies were found early Mon
day.
Stenm Turned On.
The coroner said the four, and 20
other prisoners, wore placed In the
cells Sunday night, the windows were
closed, and steam was turned on In
the radiators by a gtiard.
He said he would continue his
Investigation until he learned wheth
er the heat was Intentionally turned
on. or If It might havo been an act
of carelessness, and added:
"We know the guard who turned
on the heat. What we want to estab
lish now1 Is who gave him the order."
Similar versions of how they said
the deaths occurred were given by
Hersch and Assistant District Attor
ney jolin A. Boyle, who said that
"Interrogation of witnesses revealed
conditions much more like the Black
Hole of Calcutta In Holmesburg,
rather than a modern prison,"
Boyle declarod "nobody went near
the place (punishment cells) at
night."
"All night long.". ,h. said, . "the
prisoners were screaming and yell
ing to havo the steam shut off."
"They needed water desperately.
There was only one ay to get
water, and that was from tho toilet
hoppers. So those who had shirts
on tore them off and soaked them
In the hopper water, and rubbed
the wet ahlru on their faces and
bodies to keep alive."
Coroner Hersch said the men
crawled to the toilets and scooped
up water to try to drink It, and
that made them so sick they retched."
"The men went stark mad during
the night," the assistant district
attorney asserted. "They saw the
weaker convicts go first. Ravine mad
for some time, and then dropping
to the floor unconscious. And then
dying."
