turned in at once to the office of
the New York l. L. D., 799 Broad

The Lessons of Indy
TaughtF Workers
to Shun Yellow Bird

PARIS, June 16th.-The Yellow
Bird, French plane which will be
transformed into a hawk preying on
the workers the day war is declared,
completed its flight from Old Or
chard, Me-, to Paris this evening.
Arthur Schriebing, the stowaway
disciple of Lindbergh, was very
much in evidence, throwing off the
mock modesty of his model to strut
like a peacock or rooster before
the scanty crowd that met the filters.
Unlike the Morrow owned Indy,
who pretended to modesty, Schrieb-
ing spent most of his time cashing
in on his "heroism," accepting gifts
for testimonials from all corners. He
is asking $4,000 for a newspaper
account of his adventures.
The crowd of 200 at the landing
field, held in check by 1900 gen.
darmes, showed marked GOODNESS
when the stowaway leaped from the
plane waving an American flag. One
lingo shouted, "Where's your French
flag" to which Schriebing made
the retort, "WelI, we are coming
from America"

Mass Picnic June %
Begins Campaign

The New York district of the
Communist Party announces that
the Red Picnic, the annual gather
ing of left wing and revolutionary
workers in New York City, ar
ranged for Sunday, June %, at
Pleasant Bay Park, will be the open
ing gun in the municipal election
campaign and will be an answer to
the corrupt Tammany Hall ma
chine, republican party and the
petty bourgeois socialist party in
their efforts to lull the workers into
security, pacifist illusions and be-
trayal of their interests.
This year, the Party adds, the
picnic will contain many interesting
features, including a baseball con-
test between the crack teams of the
Communist Party and Communist
Youth League, in which prominent
leaders will participate. There will
also be tug of war (rope pulling
contest) between the huskies of the
Shoe Workers Union and the Fur
riers Union. Smiths crack bano
will accompany the mass march of
close to 500 children of the Nom
partisan Workmen's Circle schools,
who will be at the picnic disporting
themselves and bringing life and ex-
citement to those fortunate enough
to be present. The Young Pioneers
of America will also contribute their
usually attractive songs, cheers,
marches, etc.
The Party further announces that
the striking cafeteria workers, shoe
workers, furriers, representatives of
the southern textile workers and
others of the left wing unions will
be at the picnic. Sport contests be-
tween the various left wing unions
will be arranged, such as three
legged races and sack races. Inter
esting prizes will be offered the win
ners of these contests. A special
assortment of refreshments and the
latest dance music has been ar
ranged.
