BOIL WEEYIL MENACE
 IS, GREAT IN SOUTH

Atlanta. Ga, Feb. 4.-The report of the subcommittee of the cotton council on the danger of boil weevil infestation during 1925. declares that 32 years of boil weovil experience makes it certain that the weevil will bring disaster sooner or later and probably 10 maUy sections of the south this year. The report was read 10 southern agricultural work CTS here yesterday.
 The report says in part:
 During the last summer in large areas Of tho south the weeyil was controlled naturally by hot dry weather and this was followed by an extremely cold winter and by fall defoliation of the cotton plant through the agency Of the leaf worm which in all probability will not re- cur in many years.
 In the eastern part of the cotton belt enormous numbers of wceyils went into Information last fall and no very cold weather has occurred thus far. In the central and western portions of the cotton belt, condi- lions are variable but even at best there are enough weevil 10 cause serious damage under average con- ditions.
 The association reported it had nothing new on the value Of the Florida method of control of boil weevil. It urges farmers 10 use quickly available forms of nitrogen to hasten the development of the cotton plants to beat the boll weeyil.

 Startling Confession

Newark, N. J., Feb. 4. - Thomas North, 19 years old. last night con- fessed to a murder and 25 robberies, |according to Police Captain Frank Brex. North, arrested Monday in connection with the robbery of tailors shop, broke down, Captain Brex said, under questioning at po- lice headquarters.
 In his alleged confession, North Samuel Aligdol. alleged 10 be safe cracker with a long record. Migdol was arrested in New York and Is held there. The murder which North said he and Migdol committed, police said, was that of Meyer Rosenberg, 57, might watchman here. Rosenberg was found dead on the morning of August 23 last. North, it is alleged, charged his companion with the ac- ,tual killing. In the alleged confes- sion North said that he always acted Ias lookout while Migdol committed the burglaries.
 A bit of brayado on the part of North led to his arrest on Monday. Police Investigating the robbery of tho American Tailor company here found that the thief who smashed the window and took several suits to which were pinned dollar bills, left he folloWino- nnta.
 "I thank you for the money. T. N."
 On inc other side of the card was ia number. This was traced to the Newark municipal employment bu- rcau, where if was found to be the number of an application for work made there by North several weeks ago.
 Until he left the note which re- suited in his arrest. police here had not suspected North. although they were on the trail of his alleged con- panon in the series of burglaries.
 North said, according to police, that he met Migdol year ago and consented to act as his lookout in jobs" here. He said that his share of the loot in the burglary in which Rosenburg was killed was s20.

7 YR. OLD KILLER
 PROVES BATHING
Los Angeles Girl Says She
 Hikes to See Them Die'

Los Angeles. Feb. 4,--Scven year old Asa Thompson still has authori- ties puzzled over her confession that she killed her baby twin sisters two years ago and later an adult who took care of her. Her father, Rus sell Thompson, characterized the story as absurd and impossible, but members of the family with whom she has been boarding, insisted she told the truth and cited alleged in- stances of poisoning lately attempted by the girl.
 A fireman told the police he was sure that preserved peaches that made him sick had been treated with an acid by little Asa, and even the fact that one member of the family temporarily lost his voice was at tributed to the child's skill as a pois- oner.
 If Alsa did not kill her sisters by feeding them ground glass. she cer- tainly thinks, she did, according to alienists who have examined her at bilG HuDpitdi WiSiV niic is being held as a ward of the ju- venile court. #.
 Dr. Edwin H. Williams described her as an abnormal child of highly intellectual type, but "born with too much intellect and not enough judg- ment." He said he would not at- tempt to pass judgment on the truth of .Alsa's confession. but was sure she actually believed she had killed her sisters and the adult and that she had mixed deadly potions for other children and adults.
 Teachers who have had Asa un- der their instruction are inclined to doubt her confession on the ground that she is bright, obedient and in dustrious in school. They salt they were puzzled, howevet, Nnen Asa struck to her story and added:
 'T just like to see them die, that's all."

Shop Nuclei Lead to a BO|shevk Mass Party

Ireally fighting against amalgamation
and are not more than indifferently
progressive. d
That the shop nuclei serves as a
means of gaining members for the
party can be proved by the fact that
in Brownsville which is anything but
an industrial center, there already ex-
isc seven shop nuclei with member
ship of 80, only eight of which were
members Of the party before the or
ganization of the shop nuclei.
The shop nuclei are also effective
in the organization of the Trade I'm
ion Educational League into a mass
organization 1t is a fact, that a year
ago.. when the sentiment for amalga-
nation in this trade was much
stronger than at the present time,
only ten members would come to a
meeting of the T. U. E. L. At the
present time, from 40 to so members
come to the meetings of the T. U.
E. L.
1t is also interesting to note how
the shop nuclei are organized to carry
out the party work in the shops. OF
course the organization of shop nuclei
in those shops where three party
members were employed was not diff
cult. The three members met and or
ganized shop nucleus. They elected
an organizer and secretary and i'm
mediately started to function as a
nucleus to carry out the work in their
shop. An important duty of each
member being the instruction that
each meber gives to certain number
Of workers in the shop with the pur-
pose of drawing them into the nue.
leus. oq
The work however, was much more
iifficult in those shops where only one
party member worked. In those cases,
the section organizer together with
the party comrades had many confer
ences with the sympathizers explain
ing to them that if they supported the
Communist position in the unions,
helped the Workers Party financially
and are sympathetic to the Commun-
list movement, there is no reason. why
they should not become members Of
the party and work out the plans
which they carry out. This propa-
ganda was successful and in four
shops where only one party member
had previously workers four shop
nuclei were formed. In one shop
where not even one party member
had previously worked shop nucleus
was organized. In another shop where
one member worked but who was
against shop nuclei and therefore did
nothing to help in the work, nucleus
was organized by explaining to the
sympathizers the necessity for this
nucleus. In the last two nuclei, the
section organizer took into considera.
ton the fact that these comrades had
had no experience whatever and ap.
pointed old party comrades as organ.
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1925-10-07

zers for these two shop nuclei to
larry on the work.
In illustrating how active the mem
oers in the shop nuclei are, it is inter-
sting to note that in five shops where
shop nuclei are functioning, the gen
eral shop chairmen are members of
the nuclei SO that the nuclei are ac-
tually in control in the shops and all
the questions which are taken up at
the shop meetings are first discussed
at the shop nucleus meetings.
Four members of the nuclei are also
members of the joint council of the
unions to which they belong. Eight
are members of the executive boards
of the unions.
The shop nuclei are already father
ing material for the publication of
shop papers. They have already
started work on the organization of
branch of the International Labor De-
Tense which will include a majority of
the members in the shops where there
is shop nucleus. The chairmen will
be instructed to take up the question
of labor defense at the shop meetings.
