Woman Would Drop
Star Spangled Banner
From Public Schools

LOS ANGELES, Calf, Feb g.
Mrs. Fannie Spencer, a pacifist, in a
communication to Mr.. Wood, state
superintendent Of public schools, re-
quested that the Star Spangled Ban
ner," the national anthem of capital
list America, be removed forever from
the public schools of California. She
argues that the words of tile song
have o bad influence on the ciildren's
minds. 1t incites their thoughts to war
and bloodshed and contempt fot the
English.
The authorities are literally tearing
their hair in indignation at this pacif-
list proposal. Frank Pettingill, COM
mander Of the sons Of the revolution,
wants her sent out of the country.
But the question arises, being an Am
erican, where can she be sent?
The Communists of Los Angeles
consider all this much ado about
nothing" Both pacifst Mrs. Spenser
and militarist, Pettingill are doomed
to the scrap heap The Communists
propose to teach the international"
to the children Of Los Angeles which
sooner or later will become the uni
versal anthem Of the whole working
class.

Juniors Put The Meeting Over
The memorial meeting was, of
course, most wonderful demonstra-
ton for Comrade Lenin, for the Com
munist idea for which he stood, and
for the Workers (Communist) Party
and the Young Workers League
that are the American embodi
ments Of Leninism. But for the
Juniors this meeting will be remem-
bered for many years to come. For
it was at this meeting that the Junior
section of the Young Workers League
in New York definitely appeared be-
fore thousands and thousands of New
York workers as the revolutionary
organization of working class children
that it is, as a Communist union of
children marching side by side to
victory with the Workers (Com-
munist) Party and the Young Workers
League.

Charges Muzzling

WASHINGTON, Feb. 5.-Aroused
by reports that army officers are be-
ing "muzzled' and otherwise pre-
vented by higher-ups from giving
frank testimony before congress com
mittees in relation to pending le-
gislation, the house committee investi-
eating air craftw conditions in the
army and navys today put Brig Gen.
Hugh Drum Of the general STAFF thru
a severe grilling. ?"
Drum denied that officers were
'muzzled" or disciplined" for their
testimony. 81 50
General Drums denial of the re-
ports did not entirely appease mem
)ers of the committee, and they piled
lin with questions as to what was
appening to- Brigadier General
Billy" Mitchell, assistant chief of air
ervice, whose post is said to have
cen jeopardized by the testimony he
gently gave the committee with re-
pect to air craft conditions.
Secretary Of War Weeks has asked
Mitchell for fan explanation" of his
testimony. Mitchell advocates a sep
arate, unified air service, which most
of the other high ranking army and
navy officers do not approve.
Representative Reed, republican,
Illinois, told Drum: II don't think
you know what you are talking about

MISUSED SINKING
FUND is CHARGE
Used Repair Fund for
Other Purposes
Especial to the DAILY Worker

SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,, Feb. 5.-Legis-
lators here are said to have been given
the information that millions of dol
lars have been diverted from the
sinking funds of public utilities com
panies Of Illinois, and illegally used
for the payment of dividends.
The Illinois commerce commission
is reported to have made this dis.
closure, after they received petitions
from many public utilities corpora
tions for authority to increase their
rates chraged the public. Following
the recent sleet and snow storms, the
companies are said to have petition
ed the commerce commission for per
mission to advance rates.
The commerce commission. It is
said here. wanted to know what had
happened to the special fund that
the commission instructed the com.
panies to set aside for such emergen.
cies; and learned that these sinking
funds had been entirely used up in
paying additional dividends and for
! olher purposes,
Cold. Frank L. Smith, chairman of
Illinois commerce commission, admit
ted that the Chicago Bell Telephone
company had diverted S3S, 1000 900 from
its sinking fund for extension Of ser
vice and for purchasing other com.
panies.
Smith said he was supporting a bill
to be introduced within the next two
weeks regulating the sinking fund of
utilities which he characterized as
beneficial both the companies and to
the investors.
"A sinking fund is in reality a trust
fund and as such is taken into consid,
GRAFTON in compiling rates." Smith
said.
He admitted it has become a general
practice among utilities in Illinois to
use their sinking funds for purposes
other than depreciation expenses.
According to commerce commits
sion's ruling, two per cent of the prof
its must be set aside for property de-
probation. Illinois utilities are author.
lied to fix rates guaranteeing mine
per cent return on a fair valuation
of their properties" seven per cent
to be used for paying dividents. and
two per cent for maintaining a sink
ing fund.

SHERIFF'S PEACE
OFFER SPURNED
BY KHAN BOARD
Supervisors Demand
Galligan's Scalp

MARION, ILL.,, Feb. 5.-Tre dove Of
peace, after brief stay, was gone
from Williamson county again today,
following collapse of q compromise
agreement between Sheriff George
Galligan, anti-klan leader, and the
county board of supervisors, composed
largely of avowed klansmen.
Today the board stood firm on de-
mand that Galligan resign, while Gal
ligan stood equally firm in his deter
mination not to resign.
Khan Moves Against Sheriff.
The next move, unless the. deadly
barking of automatics intervenes, was
to be plea to Governor Small TO re-
move Galligan. A committee appointed
by the board was to go to Springfield
today or tomorrow to confer with the
governor.
Offers to Leave County.
Sheriff Galligan's peace proposal,
was turned down by the board with
only one dissenting vote, offered to
make a written agreement that he
would leave the county turn over his
office to deputy Parks, over whom
there has been no dissension, and
would permit the board to name all
other deputies. He agreed to stay
away from the county for the dura-
ton of his term of Office, but refued
to resign, even if the board paid his
salary in full for the remainder of
his term.
After rejecting the offer, the board
adjourned until March.

not so much the speaker himself, as

ever forget.
When the meeting was over, and the
audience began to fills out, the Juniors,
loath to leave, began singing. march

denly stopped and began crowding
around listening and applauding. The
dimensions of this impromptu affair
grew until it reached the size of a

imagined at what was occurring,
broke this demonstration up and told
the children to go home. They did
