LICENSE PLATE
APPLICATIONS
SHOW INCREASE

F'ifty-eight applications Tor licenses
for motor vehicles were made at the
offices of the deputy county assessor
in the city hall yesterday. This is
larger number of applications than
on some days OF last week but is
not nearly enough per day to make
it possible for all the car owners
of the county tc' secure. their licenses
before the first o. 1-eprdary at which
time the ban is to be fa;d on the
drivers OF cars carrying Old license
plates.
Estimates give the Douglas district
of this county in the neighborhood
of 1000 automobiles or tor the city
of Douglas a car tor every three
persons. Figures show that less than
half Of these cars have had license
applications filed for them to date.
This means that in less than half
a month more than 1000 applications
for licenses must be filed and filled
or many car drivers will find them
selves without means OF transporta-
ton when the sheriff starts locking
up unlicensed vehicles on February 1.

WOULD CRUSH
OF ASSAHANT

ROME, Sept. (UP).-Three per.
sons went on trial before special
military court today accused of plot
ting the assassination of Premier
Mussolini.
They were Mammolo and Ludvico
Zamboni and Virginia Tambarroni,
father, brother and aunt respective
ly of Anteo Zamboni, 16, who was
lynched when he tried to kill Musso-
lini at Bologna on Oct. 81, 1926. ..
Bloody Mussolini Helps.
A deposition from Mussolini said
the shots were not fired by Anteo
but by another young man standing
beside him. Police claimed the sec
ond young man was Ludovico and
that revolver found in his room
closely resembled that carried by
Anteo.
The indictment quoted a remark
written by Anteo on the leaf of ar
anarchistic book: "The assassina
ton of a despot who is strangline
the people constitutes an act of jus.
tice, not crime"

BUFFALO Gets IS
new DAILY SUBS
Many Cities Respond
in Big Campaign

The election campaign drive of the
Daily Worker to procure 10000 ad-
ditional readers for the paper
throughout the United States got
off to an suspicious start yesterday
when Is new one-year subscriptions
to the militant daily were raised in
Buffalo, N. Y. through the efforts
of Louis Sisselman, Daily Worker
agent who has been touring the
country for the past two months in
the interests of the paper.
Considering the fact that the en-
tire quota of subs set for Buffalo is
rs. the start of IS subscriptions
which were procured yesterday au-
gers we'll for the realization of the
entire quota in the city, and for
successful campaign throughout the
country.
Buffalo is not the only city, how
ever, which has responded vigorously
to the Daily Worker election cam
paign subscription drive. Pitts
burgh, Philadelphia, Boston and
other big industrial centers of the
country have also begun sending in
new subs. In many cities throughout
the United States, committees have
been elected among the class-con-
scfous workers which will concen-
trate all their efforts on the reali-
cation of cities quotas.

Tactical and Inner Party Problems

in American industry are also a fact
and so is also the growing discon-
tent among the unskilled workers.
Is there any ground for the. growth
of the Communist Party? Yes, there
is. Does this furnish any justifi-
cation for an acute fractional strug-
gle? Of course not. All steps must
be taken to avoid such a struggle.
1t seems to me that the Czecho-
slovakian Party presents the most
difficult problem. Perhaps we are
not yet in possession of the neces-
sary data for correct analysis of
the situation and for drawing up
the proper measures; nevertheless,
the case of Red Day is highly
symptomatic. Something is wrong
in the Czechoslovakian Party, not
only among the leaders, but also
among the rank and file, and the
Party as whole; there is some
thing wrong from the standpoint of
the political line, of the fundamental
-orientation of the Party, and of
grave social democratic survivals. 1t
is essential therefore after this
Congress, or during the Congress,
for the Executive Committee to take
up the Czech question specially in
order to frame the necessary meas
ures not only in regard to the lead
ing bodies, but also in regard to the
orientation of the whole Czech Par

tx Lately the Czech Party commit
ted a series of mistakes in connec-
ton with the Factory Committee
Bill, for example insthe plan to vote
for Massaryk in the presidential
election, and in whole number of
other questions which revealed the
passive attitude of the Party. Just
now we are witnessing even some
thing more than mere passivity
This imposes upon us the task of
thoroughly analysing the situation
and of taking efficient remedial
measures.
At the present time, when every
thing must be done to strengthen
our ranks, it seems to me we are
confronted with tremendous task
the task of ideologically educating
the Party. We do not yet show suf-
ficient energy in this work. To my
mind, it is one of the tasks of our
Parties to force the pace of mental
activity, of the theological struggle,
of theological discussions, etc. This
corresponds to the general line of
the whole of our development. For
instance, if we desire to prepare
against war, we must carry on big
propaganda activity both among
the social democratic and among
our own workers; yet we have very
little agitational and propaganda
literature for the purpose. We can

sus of 1925. Conspicuous as a lead
er of republican women and a crony
of some of the shadiest G.. o. P.
lieutenants in the state, Mrs. Knapp's
reign revealed the fact that she had
appropriated for her own uses thou
sands of dollars. When her own
needs as Dean of Home Economies
of Syracuse University were rela-
lively satisfied, Mrs. Knapp thought
fully put score of her relatives on
the census payroll, and thousands of
dollars were grated in this way.
Early today rumor gained
ground that Mrs. Knapp would ac-
tually be transferred to the regula-
ton prison cell, but it was quickly
dissipated when the county sheriff
qualifying suddenly as a medical d.
agnostician, announced that at
would not be safe to place her in a
cell at this time due to her delicate
condition"
From Good Family.
"The cell block is noisy" explained
the solicitous sheriff, "and for a
woman of her breeding and delicate
health think it would be more than
she can stand"

did not prevent her, however, from
consuming a rather substantial sup

life Is Ruined"
Despite the mildness of the SEN
tence imposed upon the lady embez-
zler in an effort to sustain the pre-
tense that "justice will be DONE"
Mrs. Knapp has been whining shrilly
since she arrived at the sheriff's
home.
"My whole life is ruined" she told
friends today. "What is there left
after this? What difference does
air and sunshine make to me after
serving 80 days in jail?"

the Executive Committee of the
Communist international we must
demand increased theological activ-
ity, greater energy in recruiting
members, better work in regard to
the day to day questions, further
strengthening of the Parties, great
er efforts on the part of our youth
organizations to recruit new mem
bers, more energetic activity in the
colonies, in the army, and prepara-
ton for the eventuality of our Par
ties becoming illegal. To believe
that we are going to continue such
a relatively tranquil" existence as
we are now enjoying is to indulge
in illusions. Moreover, we must take
all steps to prevent other Parties
from repeating the Red Day expert
ences of the Czechoslovakian Party.
Comrades, the Communist Inter
national was born out of the war.
The Communist International has
scored many big victory. The
largest achievement Of the world
proletariat is the establishment of
the Soviet Union. In the final
analysis, if the bourgeoisie unleash
the dogs of war, the proletariat will
capture the world. This is by no
means a pessimistic view. On the
contrary, together with Friedrich
Engels, we, the Communists, say to
the whole of the ruling class;
