Page Ze, a , 5 : ” . ~ Investigation by NRS rf ei $d that this particular ie.” bment by Marshall was uttered celiberately, . liowing on the heels of a etang held in secret~ by subversive leaders in Southern Californiae These militant generals have ‘remained very much in the background, and their names are unknown to the large masses of super-patriots who, knowingly or unknowingly, follow the bandwagon of subversivism. ; While these hangers-on were kept in ignorance, it was openly avowed at this secret session that "Colonel Lindbergh will be our Man on Horseback". When the controversy between President Roosevelt and Colonel Lindbergh hit the front pages and the air lanes, these behind-the-scene wire-pullers deemed the time ripe to inform the masses of their decision as to the new "Man on Horseback". At a meeting similar in background and audience to that addressed by Mar- shail, the stage was dramatically set for this important revelation. On Sun- day, May 4, Ellis 0. Jones, who frequently acts aa chairman at meetings of the Hughes followers, announced the formation of the "National Copperhead Associa- tion", whose purpose it would be to line up behind the leadership of the now ex-Colonel Charles A. Lindbergh. This news was received with exultation and unanimous approval by the 1200 Nazis and Nazi sympathizers who attend these conclaves weeklye In order to identify full-fledged members, buttons reading "I'm a Copper } Head" (illustration én page 1) were made available in large quantities, at ‘gmall cost, to those in attendances. Instructions were given to the faithful to go out into the field, in the manner of crusaders, to enlist more adherents to the holy cause. ‘ Every evening during the past week, the German propaganda film, Blitakrteg im Westen was shown, this time at the Deutsches Haus in Los Angeles. In the theatre, many were observed wearing the telltale "Copperhead" buttons. Kenneth Alexander, Southern California Silver Shirt leader, has been strenucusly urging the members of his group to wear the "Copperhead" in their lepels» Then, to crystallize the growing movement, the Los Angeles chapter of the America First Committee, exposed in earlier issues of NEWS LETTER, distributed telegraph blanks to those in attendance at the regular meeting, with the instructions that messages be sent to Lindbergh immediately, telling him that "we patriotic Americans are behind you and urge you to come to Los Angeles to speake We pro- mise you the most gigantic rally you have ever seent" st Saturday, the telephones squads of all known Nagi organizations went into action. Every person who had enrolled in one of the subversive organiza- tions or had indicated his sympathy with them, received an urgent telephone message: "Be sure to tune in your radio today when Lindbergh speaks from Min- neapolis....Get all your friends to listen in....Come to the Embassy Auditor= ium on Sunday to hear prominent ,speakers analyze the words and thoughts of this great American patriot.” On the following day, at the Embassy Auditorium, Lindbergh's address was referred to by Huphas who wes the main speaker of the evening. Special em= phasis was laid on Lindbergh's statement, "I do not know how mich longer free speech will be allowed in this country", implying that soon meetings such aa those held by the "Save America First" group would be banned by the Washing- ton Administration, which "4s more dictatorial than any European government". Spontaneous applause accompanied such statements as: Democracy has died be~- cause its blcodatream has been poisoned by the international financial sys- tem", and demands were made to impeach the President of the United States. The lines in the Blueprint for America prepared by the Fascist wire-pullers ere becoming daily more clear. | EEEKEKRAECEEERETEREEEEE het
