TUNNEY SPURS

PRO-AMERICANS

Predicts Revolution in Talk To Group Opposing Youth Congress.

LAKE GENEVA, Wis, July 6 (U, P). — Ex-Heavyweig; t Champion Gene Tunney pushed the organization of a rival to the American > Youth Congress today, claiming that, the United States faced “a bloody revolution” within five years. He addressed a meeting of the “pro-American” rump of the Congress last night, while the Congress in its annual convention, was approving a resolution condemning the rearmament program and President Roosevelt's foreign policy. “We can look for a bloody revolution in this country inside five years generated by a fifth column, and we have nothing with which to back up a bluff,” Mr. Tunney said. He jadded that Mr. Roosevelt's Admin[istration had been lax in defense matters, that “there have been too damn many dilettantes in our Government for the past eight years.” He told his segment of the Youth Congress that he favored military |conscription for youth, that he believed in “Theodore Roosevelt's pol icy of speaking softly and carrying a big stick, not in the President's policy of speaking loudly and carryv‘ing a feather duster.” The Congress made two efforts to invite Mr. Tunney to address its convention, while pointing out that he was not a youth (Mr. Tunney 42), that he represented no vouth rorganization, and that he had not been interested in youth activity until very recently. Mr. Tunney mel with the *“pro-American” rump af Williams Bay where the 65 delegates led by Murray Plavner of New York, who had been refused seats at. the convention, had established headquarters,
