DROVE 144 HOURS;
BED REFUSED HIM
DOCTORS WERE AFRAID OF
TOO MUCH RELAXATION AT
TER LONG ENDURANCE.

TOPEKA, Kan.-The sudden re-
taxation Of an overtired body might
result fatally, doctors have declared in
refusing a bed to Allen Fisher, who
recently set a new worlds endurance
record in automobile driving Of 144
hours and 1915 seconds.
Fisher was ordered by doctor to
discontinue the endurance test when
his heart missed 10 beats in one hour
and IS minutes and his pulse was
getting low. But, instead of giving
him nice, soft bed in which to
stretch out his tired and sore muscles
doctors ordered him placed on a
board for his first sleep. -,
The bed, it was explained. would
cause too sudden relaxation after the
long strain he had been under, and
might prove fatal.
Fisher was handcufed in his car Tor
more than six days, during which
time he made stops only to retuel the
machine. During the last three days
OF the test he was constantly attended

THE Workers and Farmers Soviet
Republic, the Union of Socialist
Soviet Republics, is now entering up
on its eighth year.
The years Of foreign invasion, the
years of famine and war, the years of
economic blockade are at an end. The
, enemies of the working and farming
masses of Soviet Russia have been de-
feated. Communism is increasing it's
strength rapidly.
The economic chaos wrought by the
war and czarist-capitalist inefficiency
the ruin of industry and agriculture
coming in the wake OF counter-revo-
lutionary insurrection and sabotage.
the sitting of economic progress thru
the imperialist blockade-are all at
an end.
Ignorance. illiteracy, oppression,
economic backwardness, exploitation
these are, more and more, happily
becoming by-gones for the Russian
working and farming masses.

Lenin and Zinoviev. Soviet rule is
established. The roar and thunder OF

the hearts of the imperialists the world

In England with Litvinov we find
Leonid Krassin, who once managed
the great Putilov factory and was con-

in Russia. He was great power in
Russia's early days Of reconstruction.
There are plenty OF other men Of
great ability in the Soviet foreign Of

outstanding figure is Michael Kara

1T is well that Nov. Z, the anniver-
/ sary Of the Russian BolShevik vic
tory, falls so quickly upon the period
Of the American national elections. 1t
gives workers in this country, who
have been won to the reading Of Com
munist literature, an opportunity to
compare the heroes" Of American pol
itics, puny and colorless, with the In
spring personalities Of the men and
women-the leaders-who carried to
victory the standards Of the Russian
workers and peasants struggle for
emancipation.
In his little pamphlet on "Lenin:
The Great Strategist Of the Glass
War" we find A Losovsky, secretary
Of the Red International Of Labor Un-
ions, heading one of his chapters, "a
Leader, Not a Hero"
There were those who wanted to
deck up Lenin as hero Of the mass
es," in the effort to disprove the ma
terialistic conception Of history. But
Lenin was the leader Of his class; not
its hero, Losovsky points out in reply.
The same is true OF all the other
comrades of the Russian Soviet revo-
luton whose names are becoming
more and more familiar to toilers in
every land.
There is Michael Ivanovitch Kahn
in, the peasant president of the Soviet
Republic, the second president under
Soviet rule. He was selected for this
position when Sverdlov died Of the
typhus in 1918. Kalinin has been a
connecting link between the city and
land workers.

Leaders Not Heroes of the Russian Revolution

1t was Alexis Ivanovitch Rykov who
succeeded Lenin as the president Of
the Council of Peoples Commissars.
This was the unanimous decision of
the Central Executive Committee and
ratified the action of the All-Russian
Soviet Congress.
But these are all comrades engaged
in the work of the Soviet government.
There are also the comrades more ac-
tive in the Communist International
like Gregory Zinoviey, president OF
the Petrograd Soviet, but also the
head of the Communist World Party
the Communist international.
49,
Karl Radek is declared to be one Of
Communism's best propagandists. He
has been for long time head of the
Soviet propaganda bureau.
Nikolai Bucharin, another powerful
Communist writer, is the editor of the
official organ of the Russian Commun
ist Party, the Pravda.
George Steklov is the head Of the
editorial STAFF of the Izvestia, the Of
fetal organ Of the Russian Soviet gov
eminent.
These are only a few Of the lead
ers-not Heroes Of the Russian
Soviet revolution. They are Of the
revolution. They sprang from the vic
torious struggle of the masses OF OPP
pressed against the capitalist reaction.
Under the dictatorship of the prole-
tariat, the transition stage towards
Communism, multitudes Of such lead:
ers are rising to take up the new
tasks-the building of the Communist
society. The workers in all other
lands may we'll envy the workers and
peasants Of Soviet Russia their lead
ership.
This is something for the hero
worshiping American workers to look
into on this Seventh Soviet Anniver-
Sary.

inspired by Woodrow Wilson, to over

decisively crush by the prowess Of the
Red Army. While the Russian work

leadership of their Communist Party

tries were serving as the hangmen of
their proletariat. 1t was the traitor
GUS social-democracy of Gremany that
drowned the Spartican revolution and
that aided and abetted the overthrow
OF the Soviet Republic in Bavaria. II
was with the connivance and comfort
