U. S. BELIEVES IN MISS WHITNEY’S ‘RED’ INNOCENCE On Record During SevenYear Battle to D ut Her Behind Bars. Du Times Special WASHINGTON, June 16.—During the seven years in which the machinery of the courts has been moving to put Charlotte Anita Whitney behind penitentiary bars, the executive department of the United States Government has been on record officially as believing her act was innocent. Miss Whitney was convicted of membership in the communist labor party, a socialist party offshoot. At the height of the post-war red hysteria the Departments of Justice and Labor cooperated in deporting aliens who belonged to certain proscribed organizations. The communist party, another offshoot, was one of these, and for a time the communist labor party was under suspicion. 800 Members Taken About 300 members of the latter organization were taken in the deportation raids of January, 1920. But after their arrests Assistant Secretary of Labor Louis Post started an investigation of the organization. and later Secretary of Labor Wilson made a similar investigationSecretary Wlson then announced that after thorough study of the Communist Labor party constitution, application card and membership pledge, he found nothing to indicate that members were bound in any way to the Communist International, and that there was nothing to disclose an intention to attain radical objectives by force or violence, or any other means incompatible with parliamentary machinery. Is Ruled Lawful , Membership in the party for either Americans or aliens was quite lawful, he concluded, and ordered the release of the 300 Communist Laborers. This ruling never has been reversed or disapproved. Meanwhile the California courts found Miss Whitney must serve one to twenty years in the penitentiary for belonging to the CommunistLabor party, and since the conviction has been upheld as legal through all the courts of the land, she will serve her sentence.

Signal Urged for Death Corner

Looking north in Central Ave., across Twenty-Second St. Residents say many accidents occur here, because view is obstructed at the corners and motorists speed in Central Ave., an unprotected street.

Councilman Walter R. Dorsett asked the board of saftey for more electric stop-and-go signals Tuesday afternoon. Dorsett pointed out that the need is an emergency and would warrant a bond issue, citing the recent traffic deaths. He asked a signal for Central

Children Now Playing Game Called \Lindbergh ’

Rules, Regulations Depend on Imaginations of Kid ‘Fliers.’ Indianapolis children, in common, perhaps, with all children in America, have anew game—“ Lindbergh.” Its rules and regulations are subject to change and depend largely on the imaginative limits of those playing it. A number of North Side apartment dwellers were interested spectators Tuesday to one version being played in a vacant lot behind the building. It went something like this: “I’m the propeller,” one 10-year-old sang out as soon as the “Let’s play Lindbergh” motion seemed certain of adoption. “I’m the wing and you be the tail, sis,” another added. Won’t Be the Tail “I will not be the tail!” this from Sis. . ..

“Why, sure, gee whiz! tails are most important parts, they is. If it wasn’t for tails I don't know what airplanes would do,” the "propeller” coaxed. "I don’t care,” Sis replied, her dignity obviously wounded. “I won't be a tail.” “All right then, you be Mrs. Lindbergh.” This met the young lady’s approval, but her convictions were stronger than her imagination. "What do I do?” she demanded. “Wait till we get this fixed,” the propeller told her. So, another “tail” was choser and took its place behind the “w rigs” and a few rather unnecessary looking “wheels” while Lindy himself stood in center and a noisy “propeller” roared enthusiastically in front. Shouts of approval from the “tail,” “wings,” “wheels,” etc. greeted what was doubtless the end of a test flight. Then the officious propeller turned his attention to Sis. Then Sis Rises in Wrath “Now, you, Mrs. Lindbergh, go over and sit down in that yard and play house until this flight is over and we’ll send for you!” Sis’ objections to being a tail were mild compared to her reaction to this suggestion. She still was delay- ! ing the epochal flight when calls to dinner stripped the “plane” of one wing, two wheels and the gas tank : and the flight was, temporarily at least, abandoned.

DOGS MUST HOWL AT NIGHT, JURIST DECIDES Pup Is Like Baby in Nocturnal Way, Judge Declares. Bu United Press LONDON, June 16.—Justice Clauson, in the Chancery Division, holds that it is as natural for a young dog to howl at night as it is for a baby to cry, and that it would be a physical impossibility for a person to keep thirty-six young dogs in his home without some of them indulging in nocturnal yappings. The justice granted an injunction to James W. Achibald to restrain Sidney Graham Hayes, his nextdoor enighbor. from keeping a pack of dogs in his residence.
