PRESS BACKING DIAz
ATTACKS LIBERALS
Condemn Action in Inaugurating
Sacasa as constitutional
President"
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
MANAGUA, Nicaragua, December
4.-Newspapers supporting Gen.
AdOlfo Diaz, who was chosen to fill
the Office of president Of Nicaragua by
Congress several weeks ago, are Sc
we're in their comment on the action
Of the Liberal revolutionarieS in IN
augurating DR.. Juan 3. SacaSa as
constitutional president" Thursday.
These newspapers say the establish
ment Of a government under Sacasa
means continuation OF the fratri-
.cidal war after recognition by the
United Stately Of President Diaz.".
DR.. Adolfo Espinosa. appointed
minister of foreign affairs by Sacasa,
sent a lengthy note yesterday to the
governments of Central America,
Mexico and the United States, stating
that theh Sacasa gov ernment was con-
stitutional as successor to the Liberal
government Of Carlos SolorZano, recog-
nized in 1925. and overthrown early
this year by the conservative Emilia
no ChamOrro. Sacasa was vice pres
ident under Solorzano.
Chamorro resigned recently after an
unsuccessful effort was made to bring
about peace between his government
and the Liberal revolutionaries, who
had been waging war against him for
many months.
The Espinosa note pointed out that
DiaZ, being the unconditional sue
cessor to Chamorro, is the only OBJ
stacle to peace" it added that Sacasa
hopes "by moral and material force to
overthrow his government" and eX-
poets to maintain cordial relations
with other governments despite the
recognition Of Diaz.

WORKERS IN REVOLT
AGAINST LEADERS
New York Needle Trades Demand
Resignation of Communist Pro-
moters, ,of Strike Settlement.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press
NEW YORK, December A re-
volt in the needle trades unions Is on
against the Communist leaders who
recently settled a 20-week strike for
a part of the workers.
More than 5000 workers demanded
the resignation OF these leaders at
meeting last night at Cooper Union,
declaring that the Communists had
betrayed the interests of $4,000
workers" to further the Communists
program within the unions.
Morris Sigman. president of the gen.
eral executive board of the Interna-
tional Ladies' Garment Workers
Union. told the gathering that the
Communists had spent 100000 on
the strike and then surrendered
rights. such as control over sub
manufacturers, which the union had
guarded for 16 years. getting poorer
terms than had been offered volun-
tarily six months before.
The unions and the workers were
left heavily in debt, he charged, and
only 5000 of the workers provided
for in the strike settlement Mr.. Sig
man claims the Communist leaders
take their orders from Moscow. He
declared the strike was provoked by
the Communists, was unnecessary
and was ordered without strike vote.

Has Shot News 12 Years.

SINCE 1914, the year when Karl w.
Fasold shot his first news event
| for Pathe, most.any.place.on-t the globe
has been his home and the scene Of
the worlds momentous happenings
his workshop. A roomy handbag, a
| few rolls Of film, and his camera
buddies clinging together through
thick and thin, going anywhere, any
time. and asking no handicap, writing
the visual history of the world.
Twelve years a Pathe cameraman,
mixing with big men and big events
II years behind the camera in all
climates and under all conditions,
rushing, struggling. racing. fighting
to expose a few feet of film often so
valuable to the world that even Lloyds
would NOT underwrite it.
News breaks like lightning--and
dies little quicker What is news
today is history tomorrow. There
are TO rehearsals for the objects
before the Pathe News cameranan.
He must shoot quick-and true--and
then double his speed to reach 10000
| screens, where the Pathe News is
seen by 20.000,000 people twice week.
Mr.. Fasold Is sometimes referred to
as the Presidents cameraman." He
was with former President Roosevelt,
AAE was "AIiI Aoi L iCoiNChS ldAsJ
the only LYING former President: with
Mr.. Wilson. with Mr.. Harding and
with President Coolidge. Five Presi-
dents posed as he stood alongside his
slender tripod and started the celluloid
that knows no false reports or mis-
quotations.
Fasold has had a Washington as
signment many times since President
Coolidge has sat in the White House
and has made one trip with him. the
one which carried the President to
ST. Paul.
In 1924 Fasold travelled some
10000 miles and not as the crow flies.
Last year he probably beat that
record. as one of his little jaunts took
him on the trail of the Prince of
Wales into South America. Picking
up the Prince is old stuff for Fasold,
however, as travelling is a pastime
they both enjoy and they have
bumped into each other in many parts
Of the world.
In his IL years with Pathe, racing
with time and distance as opponents.
Mr.. FaSold has used one and the same
camera. The nearest he ever came to
losing 1t was in Guantanamo Bay,
Cuba, where the American feet had
been maneuvering. 1t was carried
overheard by a gust of wind and for
two days was in strange surroundings
in Davy Jones' locker. But divers
found it and 1t is going yet-going
strong.

Bach Choir History.

Marking the 150th anniversary of
Bach's death, the choir gave the first
complete rendition Of the mass In
America. Since a Washington audi.
ence heard that wonderful creation
last season, it might be Interested
to know that Nicholas Douty, who
sang the tenor solos here, was the
first soluist for the 1900 production.
Also, it is pleasing to know that
one of the National Capitals foremost
musicians, Miss Lucy A. Bricken-
stein, was one of the two soprano
soIoists on this occasion. Miss Brick
enstein likewise served on the eXecu-
tive committee that made the ar
rangements for che first Bach fes-
tival.
ried on without interruption until
1905. Two were given that year.
after which DR.. Wolfe left Bethlehem
to take charge of the music depart
ment at the University of California.
From that time until 1912 there was
nothing as a substitute. Their re-
sumption was caused by a visit of
Charles Nj. Schwab to the West
Coast. He had a talk with the for
NOR director and assured him of sup
rort should he decide to return. The
urge was great and return he did.
The choir again became living
unit. thou~h more than double its
previous size. and the seventh fes-
t;val was held in the Spring of 1912.
These music conclaves have con-
tinuod without a break, save in 1874.
when, due to the illness of DR.. Wolfe.
the program was Cancelled. The
choir has travelled but little. A short
visit to New York or Philadelphia
now and then, probably not more
than five trips in all, have marked
it's wanderings. But they do not
have to travel. The music lovers, the
music critics and the musicians go
to them, and in great numbers. In
fact, there is no possibility of ac-
commodating all who desire to at
tend. Perhaps for the first time in
it's history, the Washington journey
provided all who desired admittance
the opportunity of procuring a seat.
