SOCIETY WOMAN FREES BROWDER BY GIVING BOND

Aids Communist Secretary Because of ‘Principle Involved-She Says.

PAGE 1

NEW YORK, Oct. 2¢ (U. P). — Earl Browder, general secretary of the Communist Party, was freed today in $7500 bail provided by a society matron after spending the night in the Federal House of Detention following his indictment on - charges of making fraudulent state-

ments to obtain passports. Mrs. Hester C. Huntington, who had tried unsuccessfully to obtain Browder’s release after his indictment yesterday, appeared today to have the necessary papers signed for Browder’s release. She said she did not know Browder. personally but was acting because of the “principle involved.” She is a member of the International Labor Defense.

Leaves Jail in Van

Browder said that he likewise was not acquainted with the society - woman, who furnished $5000 in a Government bond and $2500 cash to effect his release. “I've never seen the lady in my life,” he said, but he met Mrs. Huntington in the office of the clerk of Federal Court a few moments later. Browder was driven from the detention home to the Federal Building in a Marshal's van. He appeared to have rested well in his cell, and in response to questions concerning his treatment in jail, said: “I have no complaint to make about underlings. It is the big bosses we are after.”

Woman Faces Subpena

The Communist leader left the Federal Building immediately after his release, accompanied by a group of men, some believed his political associates. Mrs. Huntington, however, will return to the Federal Building this afternoon to answer a Grand Jury subpena issued when she offered bail for Browder yesterday. Mr. Browder was charged with obtaining three passports fraudulently. He is alleged to have taken out one in 1921 under the name of Nicholas Dozenberg, one in 1927 under the name George Morris, and one under his real name in 1934 swearing then that he had never had a passport. He used the last one in 1937 to go to Russia.

Arrested in Terre Haute

Mr. Browder was one, of the first American Communists. . He joined the party after his release from three years’ imprisonment for dodging the World War draft and conspiring to obstruct the draft. When being fingerprinted and booked for Federal detention yesterday he said he had had “no previous arrests.” During the 1936 Presidential campaign, Mr. Browder was "arrested when he attempted to speak at Terre Haute, Ind. Joseph R. Brodsky, attorney, said the three-year statute of limitations would apply to most of Mr. Browder’s indictment and that technically, 97 per cent of all passport holders made “mistakes” for which the Government could prosecute them.

GRILL ALLEGED FASCIST LEADER

Police at Chicago Claim Confession in Threats On Kresge, Others.

CHICAGO, Oct. 24 (U. P).—Police said today that the reputed Chicago leader of the Fascist Silver Shitts and two associates had admitted smashing windows of Jewishowned stores. FBI agents participated in questioning the men concerning information that wealthy Jewish merchants had received extortion let-

ters demanding $50,000 under threat of shootings and bombings.

Held in Secrecy

The trio, Dr. Homer Herman Maerz, 25, alleged Silver Shirt lead-

er; George Heppner, 35, and Joseps Schimpp, 45, were held incom. municado under an open charge during the questioning. They were seized yesterday after four plate glass windows had been broken with bricks at a branch of the Goldblatt Bros. department store, one the largest retail houses in Chicago. Police Sergt. Ralph Miller said the three admitted breaking the Goldblatt windows and windows. of other Jewish-owned stores. Sergt. Miller summoned FBI agents to help him question the trio in ‘connection with extortion letters he said he had been investigating for five years. He said extortion letters posted in Chicago had been mailed to the Goldblatt brothers, Maurice, Nathan, Joseph and Louis, to “Rabbi” S. S. Kresge, New York 5-and-10-cent store chain head, and to numerous other Jewish merchants, lawyers and judges whom he refused to identify.

Text Revealed

Sergt. Miller said some letters had been mailed to persons who were not Jews but apparently were believed to be by. the senders. He said the letter to Mr. Kresge, who is not a rabbi, “probably falls in that category.” Police Captain Martin Mullen said one extortion letter turned over to police had read: “You will be shot to death and your establishment will be bombed if you fail to send the money . . . doom issue is coming to Jews since the anti-neutrality bill was defeated.”

TALKS SNAGGED ONISLANDISSUE

Resumed for Several Days, They Say.

MOSCOW, Oct. 24 (U.P.).—Diplomatic circles believed today that the Soviet-Finnish negotiations might have struck a new snag in the form of Russian demands considered excessive by the Finns. J. K. Paasikivi and V. A. Tanner, leaders of the Finnish delegation, are returning to Helsingfors tonight. Diplomatic observers believed their trip might be for the purpose. of obtaining Cabinet authorization to

reject the Scviet demands. -

Aalands Believed Issue

Well-informed sources said the Russians were asking not only the right to fortify three Finnish islands in the Gulf of Finland as a protection for the Soviet naval base at Kronstadt, but also were demanding a’ voice in the control of the strategically important Aaland Slane between Finland and Sween. In any event, the negotiations were in a state of abeyance and it appeared likely they would not be resumed for several days. These demands were said to have been. explained fully to Finnish negotiators in an all-night conference at the Kremlin with Josef Stalin and Premier - Foreign Commissar V. M. Molotov. Called at Midnight Russia’s interest in the Aaland Islands, commanding entrances to both the Finland and Bothnia Gulfs, was to make sure that they were not fortified. The islands have been a long source of trouble for Russia, Finland and Sweden. Messrs. Paasikivi and Tanner conferred with Stalin and Molotov for two hours in the evening and were called back at midnight for a conference lasting several hours. It was reported, without official confirmation, that the Soviet Government had accepted Frank Tiso as Minister from Slovakia, and that recognition of the German annexation of Bohemia and Moravia provinces of Czechoslovakia was expected soon.

191 Aid to Finns

HELSINGFORS, Finland, Oct. 24 (U. P).—J. K. Paasikivi and V. A. Tanner, leaders of the Finnish diplomatic and ecoriomic mission to Moscow, are returning tonight for new instructions concerning Russia’s latest demands. The other three members of the delegation are remaining in Moscow. It was said in well-informed quarters that the interruption of conversations with Josef V. Stalin and Soviet Premier Viacheslav Molotov did not mean that negotiations had been stalemated. On the contrary, it was said, Russia presumably has offered new proposals designed as an alternative solution of the military security problem believed to have engaged the negotiator’s attention throughout yesterday.

have reached a final stage. Russia has submitted written proposals, it was announced.

Wait All Night

The announcement was made after Finns had waited all night to learn whether the conference at Moscow meant better security for Finland, ‘or invasion and war. Lights had burned all night in the code department of the Foreign Office, where the fateful message was awaited. : Reports from Moscow as late as 4:30 a. m. said that Messrs Paasikivi and ‘Tanner were still in session at the Kremlin with Joseh Stalin and V. M. Molotov, Soviet Premier and Foreign Commissar. It was known that the discussions had reached a critical stage because while all-night conferences at the Kremlin are not unusual, no ordinary matter could keep Stalin up all night. oo Finns Shy at Alliance

Finland reportedly was determined at any cost to avoid a military alliance with Russia, from which it won independence 19 years ago. While the nature of Russia’s demands had not been fully disclosed, it was reported that Stalin was asking for an alliance of some kind, as a facesaver to offset his failure to negotiate a new pact with Turkey. Finland was making hurried preparations for an emergency, determined, if necessary, to throw its fewer than 500,000 troops against the Red Army. Tank traps were laid on every approach to the Russian border. Sentries with rifles or machine guns stood behind trees all along the border. It was announced that the Gulf of Finland had been

Gf ‘ was accessible only over certain lanes and to Finnish boats only. Nevertheless, the Government professed to be optimistic and the only official statement was: “We remain calm.” Finns took some hope from the fact that at Stalin’s request, the conference had been limited to four men, Stalin, Molotov, Paasikivi, former Premier and now Finnish Ambassador to Sweden, and Tanner, also a former Premier and once a close friend of Stalin. In 1905, when Finland was still under the Tsar, Stalin fled there, a fugitive revolutionary, and Tanner, then a trade union leader, hid him in his home. In 1917 Stalin sent Tanner a letter recalling the incident, thanking him and promising that the Communist Party would fight for Finland’s independence “under all circumstances.” That letter was in Tanner’s briefcase when he left for Moscow Saturday night. At Copenhagen, the newspaper Socialdemokraten said that refugees reported Russia was preparing new demands on Lithuania and Esthonia, because it was found: that harbors and fortifications which Russia originally obtained from Esthonia were inadequate. : At Riga, Latvia, there were reports from Lithuania indicating that negotiations were under way for Germany to return the port of Memel to Lithuania for 55 years. Adolf Hitler annexed Memel to Germany March 22, 1939.
