A Good Example
OF official Corruption

WILLS, Legislative Repre-
w sentative OF the Locomo-
w tive Engineers at wash
ington, has been an official of
the union for almost so years.
His salary was $500 per year.
Not content with this, plus a
large political slush fund for
which he was not required to
make accounting, he charged
the union 5000 per day for
hotel expenses although he
was living at home. At pres
ent he is 70 years old. At the
age of 70 he became eligible
for pension, 20%o Of his salary.
For nine years he drew this
pension money although he
was on full time salary. Mr..
Wills, a typical black reac-
tionary, is reputsd 10 be worth
$40O, 900. He was fired from
active service by the conven-
ton in Cleveland, which last

railroad workers a half mill
lion dollars. The full details,

Regime Into "Tria|'
Of Fascist Rioters

BUCHAREST, Dec. 14.-Fearing
an investigation of their alleged part
in fomenting the recent pogroms per-
petrated by Rumanian students in
Jassy, Clui, Oradia Mare and other
Transylvanian towns, the government
of Vintila Bratianu is making a pa
rade of Naturalization measures.
Court martial proceedings have
been begun against the thirty-three
Rumanian students arrested for their
part in the brutalities committed dur
ing the outbreaks. A twenty-four
hour general strike of students has
been called turnout Rumania out of
sympathy for the fascist rioters.
The government has also been
frightened into presenting bill to
parliament asking about $545,000 for
damages suffered by the victims of
the pogrom. This rs said to be only a
fraction of the actual losses.

RYKOv'S REPORT
SHOWS GROWTH
OF USSR ECONOMY
Scientists Pledge to Aid
Soviet Union
Especial to The Daily Worker


MOSCOW, Dec. 14.-The tremend-
Gus strides made by the Soviet Union
in the development and specialization
of industry and the tasks that the So
Wet Union still faces were outlined in
A. Rykov's report to the All Union
Communist Congress in session here.
in the first part of his report, Rykov
described the economic situation dur
the past year, establishing by facts
and figures that there We're no dis
turbances in rural-urban commodity
exchange, that partial bitches in
supplying the population with neces-
sary ARTICLES which was observable in
recent months, are largely liquidated,
that the credit system is absolutely
stable.
With the export of grain, Rykov
said, larger exports Of lumber and
animal products are necessary. In full
filling the budget for revenue amount
ing this year to six billion roubles,
the Party and Government must work
tirelessly.

his report. to Analysing the various
five year plans, pointing to two
fundamental shortcomings: statis-
tlcal tendency, and the fact that plans
are not elaborated for construction of
largest districts and republics. GEN
orally, the Caspian has accomplished
great work. The central five year
idea is derived from industrialization
tasks as method of socialist con-
struction.
Points Out Problems.
Referring to various problems of
the five year plan, such as agricul-
tural, industrial, transport, reserve
development problems and the strug-
gle against unemployment, the speak
er began the third part of the re-
port with cultural development. Ry-
kov's conclusions are that cultural
mass development lags considerably
behind development of productive for
ces. Without cultural development, -
he said, further successful develop
ment of productive forces and further
industrialization is impossible. We
must learn to satisfy the growing
cultural requirements of the working
class, the peasantry. Finally the
Party and Soviet organs must devote
greater attention, energy and means
to the cultural 'front.'

Queen Mary of Great Britain. on

decreed the return of pre-war ele-

years these gowns have been of the
simplest make and fabric and any
material that was white could be
worn with the approval of the court
chamberlain Now, however, for
matrons there is to be a return to
satin and lace and for the younger
women chiffon tissue and lace. Lace
most preferably is to form the prin-

lace which represents the best of the
medieval ages. The rose point robe
of the Duchess of Portland is one
of the most beautiful pieces of lace
in existence and one of the largest
outside the famous ecclesiastical col

Your Baby and Mine
BY MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED.

When one reads in the paper of
accidents happening to tiny babies
one wonders how they happen. Babies
falling into tubs of scalding water;
babies left alone in homes which burn
down; babies tumbling out of upstairs
windows; all the terrible fatalities
which seem so incomprehensible to
other parents There seems but one
explanation and that is lack of imagi-
nation. A certain type of parent
grows so used to possible dangers that
he fails to foresee disaster from them.
The tiny baby crawling about on the
floor near his busy mother, pulling
himself up to everything his grasping
hands can reach, sees the mother lift
ing tubs of steaming water; plunging
her hands into the suds and wringing
out the clothes. The whole thing is
fascinating to him. If he touches the
tub. and his mother spanks his hand.
this does not teach him to be fearful
of the water. AT the first opportunity
alone with that tub, just the one mo-
ment when the mother steps out of
the room. the baby is going to pull
himself up and have a good look and
feel of it himself. He does. and the
lesson he may learn is too terrible to
contemplate
The parent should foresee such dan
gers for the baby who watches and
initiates her. The baby is going to do
almost everything he sees his mother
do whenever he gets a chance, and if
the mother will use her Imagination
she will foresee that and will keep the
baby in a play pen when she cannot
watch him until he is old enough to
have learned caution.
To leave small sleeping children in
a home where there is coal fire burn
ing seems to WOO disaster Why do
houses always burn at those moments
when the parents are absent, when
they do not burn down when they are
there? Fire has lure for children.
Perhaps they get cold and attempt to
fix the fire as they see mother do
with the coal oil can,
The child who climbs to an open
window and falls to his death below
may have lost all sense of danger be-
cause he has always been dangled
over this precipice. safe in an adults
arms. Children held up on the edge
of bridges; or hands held while they
walk on perilous and sharp fences
. are having no instruction in
caution. And sometimes when the
watchful eye of the adult is not on
them, they attempt these feats alone
with the usual ending.
There is far too much spanking as
a cure of disobedience and not enough
training in caution which will protect
the child when the unimaginative
adult is off duty.

December 1. 1So4-By an ordinance
passed today the city council author
ized the establishment of "a market
on the Market Square at the Eastern
Branch. to be called the Eastern
Branch Market" The reservation on
which the new market will be located
comprises the two squares between
X and L streets, extending from Fifth
street nearly to Seventh street south
east The council prescribed that the
market house must be built by private
subscription.
There will be four markets in the
city when the one authorized today is
finished. The others are the Center
Market, on the south side Of Penn
sylvania avenue between Seventh and
Ninth streets northwest: the New
Jersey Avenue Market, on the avenue
of that name south of ID street south
east. and the Western Market, on the
north side of Pennsylvania avenue be-
tween Twentieth and Twenty-first
streets northwest.
The first market house in the Fed
erat City was on the President s
Square, from which it was removed

fore the market was removed from
the Presidents Square. When the
citizens started a movement to erect

short. Citizens eventually raised all
