STORY NO. 4
Buy, Scare or Kill Him--Thats The
Duval Rule For Successful Bossism
By-FRANZ ROSENWALD
SAN DIEGO, TEX.-The first
thing any smart dictator does is
destroy the freedom of the press.
Dictatorship, whether it be called
Nazism or Bossism, and a free
press cannot exist together.
In a later article I want to tell
you how the press played an in-
dispensable role in the collapse of
the Duval Duchy.
But right now I want to talk
shout Manuel Marroquin, who
was beaten because his little
newspaper published things the
boys didn't like. It'S a lot like
other beatings I've seen in other
places, halfway around the world.
The first Nazi storm trooper I
ever saw was at a Hitler birthday
rally in the Beilin Sports Palaat.
Ha was a smiling, affable fel-
low, booted, wearing a Sam
Brown belt over his neat khaki
shirt. On" his left krm was a
swastika, emblem of good luck.
At his.side hung a dagger in its
sheath.
Hundreds of his fellows were
scattered about the huge hall, all
smiling, all good natu’-ed, selling
photographs of Iler Fuehrer and
copies of “Mein Kampf.”
My storm trooper worked in a
bakery not too far from my home.
1 knew him well. He waa a bit on
the rotund aide. Jolly, ana he
wouldn’t hurt m fly.
Thia waa long before Hitler
came to aupreme power in Ger-
many.
Hitler made hIP grand entrance
—and a "man near me laughed at
the strutting little bantam rooster
with the funny moustache.
My mild-mannered baker era*
on him in a second, beating him
in the face with hit flats, tearing
his glasses off and flinging them
in the aisle. Another storm troop-
er moved in, deliberately crunch-
ing the glasses under his heel, his
dagger drawn and pointed at tha
man who was being bee taw.
Nobody in tha vicinity moved,
and the ovation for Der Fuehrer
roared on. Tha storm troopers
hustlad the man out. My mild-
mannered baker returned in a
few minutes, jovial, smiling, sell-
ing his pictures at Der Fuehrer.
The first piatelere I ever aaw
was Just the other day in the
Windmill Cafe in S*n Diego, Tex-
as
He was a smiling, affable fol-
low, booted and wearing a neat
khaki shirt Belted to his aids
was a .46 in a bolster. —:—
That asms day I tape recorded
the ftory of Manual Marroquin,
publisher of a little political pa-
par called "New Duval,’' a paper
dedicated to Ute destruction of

Nazi Germany as described by
Marroquin, occurred just a few
weeks before 1 talked to him.
Here ia his story, taken directly
from the recording:
“I was sitting in the San Diego
Cafe drinking coffee with the
school superintendent, Hernando
de Pena, and two Daily Echo (the
newspaper In Alios, Texas) re-
porter*. Jake Lewis and a oporto
writer, a new felloV from Laredo
named Duboee, when Mr. Amaya
(Manuel Amaya. Sea Diego Chief
of Police) came to the door. I
could see Mr. Garza (Amado Gar-
za, a San Diego policeman). Me
deputy, standing behind him.
“Mr. Amaya zaid ‘Come oat, I
want to talk to yea.’
(The line between Jim Wells
County and Duval County run*
through the middle of the San
Diego Cafe. Marroquin followed
Amaya outside, being careful to
move to the Jim walls aide of
the line and about six feet from
the East wall of the cats. It was
about 9:30 at night.)
“1 asked him (Amaya) 'Why
do you want to talk to me,’ I
waa watching Mr. Garza because
he had his gun out in his hand.
“Then all of a sudden. Wham I
He (Amaya) hit me across here
(indicating a livid partly-healed
•car on nls cheek) ana I waa
bleeding had. My glasses wort
gone.
“He (Amaya) said ‘Yen talk too
damn much in your paper.’
“I said ‘That’s no way to settle
things. What don’t you like about
my paperf You can sue me far
libel if you want to.’
“He laid Tm going to kill you’
and, I Mid, ‘Oh no you’re not.’
Then 1 turned and walked away
and Mr. Garza mm ‘Come back,
you coward.’ I kept on walking. I
wee so knrt inside that 1 eouldat
talk any mere.”
I’ve often wondered what hap-
l»rts

Tt.

I asked Marroquin why h« had
taken the beating so meekly, why
hehada*t fought back. This Sa hi*
answer, again taken directly from
the tape:

these are many in Duval, partic-

dered net to trade with him. His
business waa ruined. Ha might
just as well have had “Juden"

In Hitler’s Germany tha terror
