Von Thermann, whose expul sion has been demanded by Ar gentine congressmen, laughingly described the demonstration as “a farewell to Captain Wiedemann by our old friends the (anti Nazi) Action Argentina.” Both he and Wiedemann said the bombs didn’t disturb their slumber. Police reserves dispersed about twenty men in' the demonstrating group and arrested one. Nobody was hurt and the damage was tri vial. A small fire bomb exploded about 130 yards from the house and stones rattled against the wall during the disturbance. N. C.

Lindbergh’s reference to Jews as a group pres sing this country toward war was “at once a serious blow to de mocracy and to the movement to keep the United States out of war.” In a statement at the conclu sion of a three-day meeting, the party’s national executive com mittee said “although it is true that Lindbergh recognized and condemned Nazi cruelty to the Jews, that fact can not undo the harm done by his other state ments.” Asserting “no one nationality, race or people is responsible” for this war, the committee said its origins “cut across all such lines; they have their roots, instead, in an economic system.” SONS OF AMERICA TO MEET IN BALTIMORE Statesville. — The national con vention of the Patriotic Order Sons of America will be held at the Belvedere Hotel, in Baltimore, Md., on September 23 and 24, ac cording to an announcement by National President Hugh G.
