Socialist Sees Workers
Betrayed by Pact
The working class, “betrayed” by
Russia’s non-aggression pact with
Germany, must now realize that its
objectives cannot be attained by
throwing its support to any govern
ment or any country, Jack Law
rence, secretary of the local branch
of the Socialist party, declared in
a public statement yesterday.
"The workers’ government (in
Russia) has come to terms with
those whom we and they know to
be the greatest enemies of the work
ing people, the Nazis and the
Fascists." said Mr. Lawrence. “ * * *
Confusion and disillusionment will
be the principal results of the pact
among workers everywhere.”
He voiced scant sympathy for
Poland, asserting that “workers do
not forget that Pilsudski smashed
the free organizations of Polish
workers, terrorized the Polish peo
ple * * • and that the present
government of Poland is his rightful
heir.” Mr. Lawrence predicted that
England, despite her promises, would
not fight for Poland.

Gardner Probe Begun
By District Attorney's
Office on Dies' Plea
Committee Chairman
Asks Indictment for
Perjury Be Considered
An investigation was launched by
the District Attorney’s office today
into the activities of Fraser S. Gard
ner, local “political researcher,” who
last week was accused of attempt
ing to sabotage the work of the
House Committee Investigating Un
American Activities.
The investigation was undertaken
following receipt at the District At
torney’s office of a letter from Chair
man Dies in which he asked that
an indictment for perjury be con
sidered, or at any rate, “appropriate
action” be taken.
The decision to seek action by
the District Attorney came follow
ing Gardner’s appearance before
the Dies Committee last Wednes
day.
While on the witness stand,
Gardner said he has been employed
for the last six years by the Skyland
Press, publication of the Fascist and
anti-Jewish Silver Shirts organiza
tion. Prior to that, he had asserted
under oath that he had no present
or past connection or employment
with any group which the committee
is investigating. The fact that the
Silver Shirts have been under com
mittee investigation has been widely
published.
Following Gardner’s testimony, the
Dies Committee issued a statement
saying: “It appears that the witness
concealed and denied material facts
for the purpose of securing employ
ment with the committee as in
vestigator, in which position he
would be able to act as undercover
agent for an organization which is
opposed to, and which is attempting
to, sabotage this investigation.”
In the temporary absence from
the city of District Attorney David
A. Pine, Assistant District Attorney
John Fihelly took charge of the in
vestigation. Stenographic records
of Gardner’s testimony were for
warded to Mr. Fihelly along with
the request for the investigation.
The Dies committee also sent
the district attorney's office a copy
of Gardner’s application for em
ployment as a committee investi
gator. As a qualification for this
job. Gardner said in his applica
tion that he worked as an investi
gator in 1937 for Senator Tydings,
Maryland Democrat, and received a
$300 a month salary. As references,
Gardner gave the names of Sena
tor Tydings and Walter Stele, edi
tor of a patriotic magazine.

Moose Initiate 2,500;
Labor Shortage U. 5.
Need, Davis Declares
Norfolk Woman Named
Auxiliary's State
Dean for District
By the Associated Press.
PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 28—A
newly Initiated class of 2,500 mem
bers took its place in the Loyal
Order of Moose today as the lodge
formally opened its 51st annual
convention with delegates from
throughout the English-speaking
world.
The huge class, formed to honor
Senator Davis, Republican, of Penn
sylvania, director general and Pil
grim governor of the Moose, was
initiated as a pre-convention feature
as the vanguard of 25,000 expected
delegates poured into the city.
Addressing the women's auxiliary
later, Senator Davis focused atten
tion of delegates at the start on
social questions when he declared,
"What this country needs today is a
labor shortage.”
U. S. History Recalled.
"For three centuries,” he said,
“we had a labor shortage and it
made us the richest, the most power
ful, the most democratic people in
all history. Let the worker again
produce to his utmost capacity.
• * * Let industry pour out its
bounties to the people at lower
prices.”
The first official session of the
week-long convention will be held
tonight, when Gov. Arthur H. James
of Pennsylvania and acting Mayor
George Connell of Philadelphia,
welcome the delegates. Business
sessions will begin tomorrow.
The convention will conclude Fri
day with a visit to the New York
World Fair for installation of new
officers. Fred W. Zable of Illinois
will be Installed as supreme dictator,
succeeding Judge Roy H. Williams
of Ohio.
Mrs. Hooper Takes Post.
At preliminary exercises yester
day, Mrs. Mary Hooper of Baltimore,
assumed her position as grand dean
of the “Academy of Friendship"—
j one of the higher degrees of the
auxiliary.
At the opening session of the
auxiliary's national convention, new
State deans were appointed for the
academy. They included Lettie
Brockwell, Norfolk. Va„ who also will
be State dean of the District of
Columbia.
