Complained of was a radio address by MaciInnes last Novem- ber. Said Mr. Justice Manson, dis- missing the action: “‘The occasion of the address of the defendant was privileged.” At the same time, in Seattle, Dave Beck, labor leader, also referred to by MacInnes in his speech, was filing suits totalling $950,000 in King County Superior court against Hearst Publications, Ine. Co- plaintiff is his wife, Dorothy Beck. Disputed are statements made over radio KOMO, KJR and KOL, Beck charges, tended to hold him to pub- lic scorn, contempt and ridicule, to destroy his good reputation for honesty and integrity, and to de- prive him of the benefits of public confidence and esteem. Excerpts from broadcasts of which Bec complains are: “Plaintiff Daye Beck was a cor- rupt racketeer .- . forced P-I to suspend - had employed mobs of bullies to beat up Don Litch- field and others .. . their .- . hos- tility fortified by liquor . . . beat- ing loyal employees ..- . insulting passers-by. “That (Beck) would employ sim- ilar unlawful and violent tactics against anyone who incurred his displeasure.” Catholic Loyalists Protest Ruthless Madrid Bombing ‘Before God and History | Trotsky Broke We Express Our Indignation’ MADRID, Feb. 4— Headed by Ex- Cabinet Minister Assorio'y Gallardo, Professor Sanchez Albornoz, Jose Gallegos Rocaful, canon of Gra- mada cathedral, and Weoncadio Lobo, vicar of San Gines, Madrid, a group of Catholic supporters of the democratic Spanish govern- ment, has issued a statement de- nouncing the Pascist revolt. “Ts it possible," they ask, “that after 20 centuries of Ghristian his- tery there are still men who dare to call themselves Catholics who are neglecting so clearly their most ; elementary duties? “We consider ourselves forced to | protest with all the force of our conviction against such an abomin- able proceeding as the bombard- ment, day after day, of Madrid. “Churches and hospitals, schools and factories, whose quarters of the town far from the theatre of war, of not the slightest military inter- est, have been ravaged without pity, hundreds of innocent victims buried under its ruins. “Before God and before history, we raise our voices to express our indignation at such crimes in face of all the powers of the world.” All organizations, whether noti- fied or not, are urged to send delegates to the high cost of liv- ing conference held under the aus— pices of the CCF Industrial and Employment Conference in the Orange Hall Gore and Hastings, Sunday, February 14, opening at 10 a.m. Pledge Not To Mix In Politics ME>*TCO CITY, Feb. 4.— De- claring that Arch Counter-Revo- lutionist Leon Trotsky, by his public, provocative attacks on the Soviet Union since his arrival, has already broken his pledge not to engage in political activity, the Communist Party of Mexico in a statement has declared its intention not to rest until he has been expelled from the country. “He had hardly landed when— while abtaining from saying a Single word against Fascism—he unloosed insults against the only proletarian government in the world,” the statement adds. ‘Court Action in GM Strike | FLINT, Mich. Feb. 4-In the | SOEs and factories the struggle of United Automobile Workers against Keneral Motors was con- tinued this week. Despite a court injunction ordering them to va- eate, sit-down strikers continued to ocupy two plants here while WNa- tional Guard and police reinforce- ments were rushed to GM plants. Meanwhile, indecisive negotiations were proceeding, principally with the aim of calling a truce. Per- ‘sonally in this city was John L. Lewis, CIO cahirman, directing VAW’s activities. Financial effect of the strike was reflected in GM's reduced dividend. PRIVILEGE? (The case of Labor against Tom MaciInnes, the mouthpiece of Fascism, was dismissed by the court “on a question of privilege.) “A question of privilege,” your Honor? We thank you for this refrain.
