HOUSTON Texas, July 31-Capt Jean Frances de Willard, French ace of the world war, and his American bride of less than a year hope to complete their honey moon by flying around the world.
 Setting out from Houston-August i2 with two companions in three- motored monoplane, they will hop to Crescent City. Calif, and then attempt nonstop flight of 5,100 miles to Tokyo. They plan to celebrate their first wedding ani versary, August IS. in the Japanese capital as the heroes of Q victori- ous race against perils of air and sea over route exceeding by 1,500 miles the distance Col. Chas. A. Lindbergh travelled from New York 10 Paris.
 The winged ship to be christen- ed City of Houston, Star of the Vest will carry the American flag. Although the builder and skipper of this craft learned fly ing from Louis Bleriot, the famous French aviation pioneer, and later, while serving under the tri-color brought down four German planes, he is citizen of the United States. He was born in Ameri- ca-at Fordyce, Ark.-but he has spent the larger part of his 36 years in France. He has been flying since the age of IS.
 Captain and Mrs. de Willard will take along a co-pilot and radio operator. Rex Smith of Los An- geles, will be the eo-pilot.
 Spanning of the Pacific at one something that has never been attempted-is the special purpose for which De Willard built his monoplane. The craft is a giant It has a wing spread of 90 feet and weighs eight tons when loaded. The plane, which is 12A feet high, has a cruising speed of 90 miles an hour. 1t has made several test flights with maximum loads and recently brought the De Villards from Hollywood to Hous- ton on a nonstop flight.
 It's gasoline capacity is 1,7S0 gallons. De Willard, figuring that the one Wright and two Anzani motors will use 24 gallons an hour, explains he will leave California with a fuel supply sufficient for "A hours of flying. He expects to cross the Pacific in 56 hours.
 From Tokyo, De Willard plans to proceed by easy stages over Asia and Europe to Paris. Then he will continue westward over the Atlantic with New York or Wash

Slain Woman's Body Found
in California After Wall

SANTA CRUZ, Calf, September 81
A woman known here as Mrs. L. A.
Thornewell was found shot to death IN
her home here early today, when in
vestigators from the sheriffs office re-
sponded to telephone girls report that
she had heard woman scream for help
over the Thornewill telephone line.
A heavy rifle was found some dis
lance from the woman's pajama-clad
body. In an adjacent room the tele-
phone, it's receiver off the hook, lay on
the floor
L. A. Thornewill, known here as the
woman'S husband, told Sheriff Round
tree that the woman was not his wife.
but had used his name. Her real name
was Cora Meade, the man said. she
is believed to have once lived in Biz
mingham, England
Thornewill, who said he had been liv-
ing in a downtown house, admitted
quarreling with the woman last night,
but said he left her in good spirits. He
was not arrested
The sheriff discounted suicide the
DRY, saying the woman could not have
craWled away from the rifle if she shot
herself. He reported finding note,
presumably written some time ago, re-
questirg that "the Meade Bicycle Co. of
Birmingham be notified in case of any
emergency.
The woman, a chicken fancier. was
a regular exhibitor at poultry shows and
fairs throughout California, and her

has succeeded in leading a number
of important struggles but has
failed to consolidate its influence in
organizational form.
The period ahead, which will be
one of growing unrest and struggle
of the workers, offers exceptional
prospects for the Party. With cor
rect policies and leadership the Party
will be able to take advantage of
the opportunities to popularize itself
more widely as the leaoer of the
workers in the daily fight to fulfill
it's vanguard role in broadening the
struggles of the workers, developing
their implications, and Fastening the
process of their development to-
wards revolutionary struggles.
The main danger to the proper
carrying out of this revolutionary
task in this period comes from the
right, and the line of the Lovestone
leadership is a right lire and con-
trary to the CT policy as shown in
the foregoing pages. A continuation
of the present opportunist line will
endanger the Party's prospects and
hamper its development as the rev.
dictionary leader of the masses.

THE YELLOW TICKET"

showing their yellow tickets with a
Haunting gesture, and off again into
the streets. Of course, the director
makes the peasant woman stand out,
pure, simple and innocent in the
crowd of prostitutes-so that no
clear-sighted audience could mistake
her chastity. But the part is acted
we'll and she takes her yellow ticket,
amidst the laughs of the girls of
joy, fully believing that she had got
ten an excellent recommendation.
The dance hall is an excellent
piece of work. Men and girls dance
and drink Observation-Disclosures is no
spirit or real will in the pre-couch
merry making. Couples go off to
their compartments. There is a
simple realism in the peasant wo-
man and her peasant companion as
they lie on the couch.
The fault might be found that
"The Yellow Ticket" does not eX-
plot all the fine opportunities for
social contrast, that it centers itself
too much about the two individuals,
the peasant and his wife, that it is
hazy in its conception and brings
with it no sharp enough attack upon
the society of the tsar-something
we certainly should expect from a
Soviet film.
If Sovkino has succumbed some
what in this film to American
cinema tradition, it has, however,
countered by a broader grasp of es-
sentials by broadening out into the
life of the peasant, and its deep
soiled rendering of certain moments.
"The Yellow Ticket" does not mark
distinctive step forward above the
Soviet films we have already seen
in fact its plot is little disappoint-
ing. But its rendition and execution
place it high in the films of today.

The CT must thoroughly examine
the situation and give clear state
ment of policy on the main tasks
of the Party. The opportunist line
must be corrected and the basis laid
for the reorganization of the Party
leadership in such a way as to in
sure the carrying out of the line Of
the Comintern.
To this we propose the following
measures:
l. The sending Of an open letter
to the Party for the purpose of edu-
eating the Party on the policies and
tasks and mobilizing the member
ship for executing the policies.
2. The authorization of the hold
ing of a Party convention within
two months after the end of the
national election campaign.
8. Provision for the holding of a
full and free discussion on the Party
problems and tasks prior to the
Party convention.
4. A thorough consideration of the
Party apparatus and a redistribu-
ton of the Party forces. Qualified

Mobilize Cleveland to
End Official Brutality

CLEVELAND. O., Dec. 9.-In the
name of the Young Pioneers of
America, new campaign has been
begun in this city against the sys-
tenn of corporal punishment in the
public schools.
The particular issue around which
this campaign is conferred is the case
of a 14-year-old eighth grade pupil,
who, because he failed to bring his
gym suit to school, was compelled
to run around track five times,
which completely exhausted him,
and then was forced into a cold
shower. He has been in bed with
bad attack of influenza for three
weeks as a result of this brutal
punishment.
This is only one of a series of
brutalities perpetrated upon the
pupils in Cleveland schools with the
sanction of the entire city school
administration. And the charge is
that only children Of workers are
treated so shamefully by the school
authorities, who prefer to keep their
hands off the well-to-do children.
The Young Pioneers are organ
izing a real fight against this
shameful system of oppression. Al
ready several thousand leaflets en-
titled "Stop Punishment of Workers
Children" have been distributed, and
have received an excellent response.
Pioneers are organizing further dis
tribution of leaflets within the
schools. They are chalking up the
blackboards and streets with slo-
gans, such as "Stop Whippings of
Workers Children!" etc. Efforts
are being made to enroll the exist
ing working class women's organi-
cations in the fight. A resolution
which is embodied in the leaflet is
being pushed in the class rooms, and
the Pioneers are taking votes on
the resolution among their school
mates.

Railroad Profits Sky
High While Men Slave
Harder for Less Wage

Although the railroad workers are
getting less wages than they did
in 1920, the rail lines are piling up
record-breaking profits. This is re-
vealed by the reports submitted by
3S of the leading lines for October
business, showing an unprecedented
increase of 27.5 per cent in net prof
it's income over the returns for Oc-
tober of 1927.
The increase in gross revenue is
6.1 per cent, and the difference be-
tween these two percentages rep
resents more efficient" manage
ment, largely in getting less work
ers to do more work at less wages
than ever before.
