Chicago, April 30.—(AP)—Dr. Wil
liam A. Wirt Gary, Ind., edqcatbr,
charged today therew as “frantic
struggle to conceal the aims of Offi
cial Washington.
When he went to Washington to Re
cuse minor and major “new dealers”
of slipping a revolution over on the
country, he met, Wirt declared:
“Not only stubborn official resist
ance, ibut actual slander, intimiaation
and other hindrances that do not rest
well with free citizens.” V
In a speech today before an Amer
ican Legion group, his first publio
statement since the Congressional
committee declared his “revolution
charges” were “unfounded,” Dr. Wirt
singled outs ormer Senator Smith
Brookhart assistant secretary of Agri
culture Rexford G. Tugwell and
Speaker Henry T. Rainey as having
made disturbing statements.
Dr. Wirt implied that “government
officials” have blocked rather than
aided recovery. “We actually had re
covery in 1933” he declared “and de
stroyed it."
“We lost our recovery during Aug
ust, 1933, and have not regained it,”
