"527 W. Seuenth Street, Lor Angeles, California Yol. 5 No. 146 May 14, 1941 THREE MEN ON A HORSE MBRARY Wy On February 3, 1941, William Dudley] Pettey, in his publication, "Roll- Call", asked: Is\Lindbergh Becoming ‘the Nation’s Manon ——s | a White Horse? .. \¢ STRANGE thing is happening amid lb the Eagle of 1927 to be the Man on a = A the nation's turmoil. At atime when White Horse for the United States in 19417 demagogues, war-mongers, termites and sinly he haa “eyerything it. takes.” In answer to Pelley's query, the "good tidings" leaped from mouth to mouth among Ue S. Nazis last week that "Lindbergh is our leader, our Man on Horse- back!" This strategy of lifting the ex-Colonel into the subversivist saddle differs little from the procedure jemployed when Fifth Colurmmists placed their hopes in Major General Smedley D.jButler -- and later in Major General George van Horn Moseley -- as strong man in the Nazi circuse The fruits of these first attempts spelled failuree Butler refused to be bribed into the position of a "patriotic traitor". When Moseley was ready to mount the charger, the pridle slipped because of his exposure at the hands of the Dies Committee. In 1933, according to the testimony given by Generel Butler before the McCormack Committee, several individuals, including Ggrald C. MacGuire, en= ployed by$Grayson Me P.4Murphy and Company, and Rw S.[Clark, a banker, tried vainly tojcreate a vast'Fascist movement of which Butler was to be the "Man on Horseback®. Butler's steadfast adherence to the principles of democracy, de= spite gobs of money offered by these agitators, was the answer to this attempt ed underhanded betrayal of the natione Passages from the printed hearings of the McCormack Committee, indicating the viciousness with which these plotters laid their plans, are reproduced on page 3.
