TAFT
APPOINTMENT
Hoover's Selection Of Cab
met Members In
fluenced
BY JAMES L. WEST

WASHINGTON, July 24.-(P)-
Advice Of elder statesmen Of the
republican party and of several
justices of the United States SUI
nreme court now is generally cred
tied with having influenced the Sc
lection by President Hoover of two
of Fhe foremost members Of his
cabinet, Henry L. Stimson of New
York, secretary of state, and Will
liam D. Mitchell Of Minnesota, at
torney general.
Taft Advises
The two selections dovetailed IN
a peculiar manner. Recent discic-
sures have pretty well established
that William Howard Taft, chief
justice of the United States, pro-
vided counsel in each case. One
version pointed him out as the
originator Of the suggestion that
Mr.. Mitchell be named to succeed
John Garibaldi Sargent.
AS the story goes, Mr.. Hoover
was concerning himself with this
selection when Chief Justice Taft,
a friend Of long standing, dropped
in at the Hoover house on S. street.
The chief justice added his own
word on behalf Of StimSon, who
was the secretary of war when
Taft was president and who had
been urged by both Elihu Root and
Charles Evans Hughes.
The president-elect is said TO
have remarked his difficulty was
not in finding a secretary Of state,
but in getting an attorney general.
Whereupon the chief justice is re-
puted to have replied this was SIM
pie: that the very man for the
place then was in the department
Of justice in the person Of the So
licitor general.
Unknown to Hoover
Mitchell, who called himself a
democrat, but who had supported
Harding, Coolidge and Hoover, vir-
tually was unknown to MI. Hoover.

But the next day, the president
elect set in motion the machinery
which would bring to him all the
needed facts about the young law
yer from the northwest.
AS a result of what he found,
Mr.. Hoover offered the appoint
ment to the solicitor general, who
is said frankly to have advised the
president-elect that additionally,
he was a democrat and that it
might be an unwise political move
to give a democrat such an import
ant post in the new administration.
But that argument made no i'm
preston and Mitchell took the job.

By JERRY SOCHACKI
(FOrmer Communist Deputy in the
Polish Parliament)

Endlessly long is the chain of
frightful crimes of fascism against
the Polish workers, peasants and
enslaved national minorities; thou
sands of political prisoners thrown
into gloomy bourgeois prisons, sys-
tematic breaking up of workers
meetings by the police, breaking
strikes by force of arms, torturing
political prisoners, numbering pea
SAINTS who dare to struggle against
exploitation by the landlords, crush
ing the liberation movements of the
enslaved national minorities, the or
ganizing of attacks by armed fas-
cist-P P. S. Polish Socialist
Party thugs attacking active work
ers, workers meetings and demon
strations and raiding entire prole-
tartan districts of Warsaw.
Up to date fascism attempted to
cover its crimes with the false cloak
of righteousness and liberalism.
Now the bloody Pilsudski has found
that he can already permit himself
little sincerity; that he can at
least partly uncover his face of a
fascist thug and murderer of work
ers ard peasants that he is.
At the session of the Polish Sejm
parliament February A, 1929, dur
ing a debate on the budget of the
ministry of the interior, the Commu-
mist deputy, Henry Bittner, took the

GOMEZ SENDS
ZOO STUDENTS
To ISLAND JAIL
Transferred in Effort
to Crush Revolts

CURACAO, Dutch West Indies,
March 18.-Cautious reports from
Venezuela yesterday stated that at
least 200 students and others in
volved in revolutionary attempts
against the dictatorship of Gomez
have been transferred from road
building in the interior of the coun-
try to an island prison in the bay
of Puerto Cabello.
The prisoners, many of them bays
of from ID to 16, had apparently
been forced to do heavy manual
work on the roads in the intense
heat, and were unshaved and in
rags.
In their island prison the prisoners
will be kept in complete seclusion
and allowed no intercourse of any
kind with the outside world.
The transfer of the students fol-
lows outbreaks in the tropical labor
camp where they had been confined.
1t is believed that the government
failed to interrupt their activities
even in the interior and so determin-
ed to put them in absolute seclu-
sion.
The transfer also precedes the an
niversary of one of the attempts in
which a number of the students
were involved, and it is probable
that the government feared another
outbreak might have been scheduled
for that time.
The Gomez government brushes
with an iron hand the revolts which
periodically break out against it's
brutal dictatorship.

1t was strange letter. Like
ounce, and yet it seemed tasty, the
mouth watered. Buzheninov looked
out of the window, beyond the rising
and falling wires, and saw flat lakes
of spring water. The morning was
foggy, the sun hung, an orange ball,
above the floods. Brooks ran from
lake to lake, pressing down last
years grass. In the distance trees
and haystacks grew from the waters.
On the islets wandered cattle, the
wings of a mill turned, tattered by
the winds.
Muzheninov walked out on the
platform of the car, and blinking
with deep delight, breathed in the
smell of spring earth and spring
waters. They were passing stations
where the rocks cried, circling above
their nests in the tall, still naked
poplars. The rocks cried so anxiously
that his heart began to hurt. He
blinked again, smiling. It seemed
terribly funny that Nadya was
twenty-five years old. She had been
a youngster-a nice face, blue eyes,
silken chestnut hair in braid with
a bow. When she talked she would
come near to you, trustfully, her
thin arms hanging,-she looked
straight into your eyes.
The train, slowing down, passed
railroad bridge. Deep underneath,
through the swollen, muddy river an
ancient vessel was moving on oars,
full of cattle, wagons and peasant
women. Apparently the vessel had
been inherited by the muzhiks from
the Vikings, and had been in use for
nearly two thousand years, carrying
the population along the current into
the villages.
Buzheninov looked through the
window at the Viking ship, at the
lakes, at the rocks nests, at the
small herds Of sheep, at the muddy,
black roads, and the world seemed
beautiful to him.
A man Of extreme sensitiveness,
he saw in the surroundings only
what he wanted passionately to see.
1t was almost actual hallucination.

know great happiness, and the earth
became a desirable place to live on
So I thought, looking from the ter
race on the city had built. In the
air arose a thin sound, like the
sound of broken string. 1t was a
signal. The entire city was flooded
by the light of electric lamps, rows
on rows of round electric lanterns
disappearing towards the Moscow
River, lanterns on the terraces, and
floods of light from the flat roofs
into the lilac sky. A glimmering egg
of light, the glass roof of a club,
rose on the Square of the Revolu-
ton. Low and noiselessly, like some
night bird, an aeroplane dived down
past the terrace, and woman's
voice cried from it.
Buzheninov did not end the story,
and shamefacedly, almost pitifully
smiling, looked at his friends. In his
hand trembled a glass of beer. i.
"Well?. Was it not for this
that we went out to die in Eighteen,
comrades?" he uttered in dull
voice. II remember / dreamt of that
city when I had the typhus. L

And beyond the rain from
among the west grasses glimmered
cupolas, wonderful arches,-recessed
houses rose in the air. Even now

All! And we lose time, drink beer
:"
Without tasting Of his glass, he
lay down on a bed, and closed his
eyes. His earthen face moved con-
vulsively. A debate arose. They told
Buzheninov:
you're in a fever, Vassya. {.
With such a fever you'll never ac-
complish anything. To buid new
life is not to write poetry. Here the
iron laws of economics are at work.
Here you have to re-educate a whole
generation. And as for Utopian So
cialism, why, they'll crush you under
the wheels before you have time to
open your mouth. .>.Hold your course
to the World Revolution, and mean
while let all your days be Mondays.
It's harder to make something Of
these Mondays than to build your
city. :"
To all these words of reason, Blu
zheninov, without opening his eyes,
answered through his teeth:
II know. . L know. -"
His friends stayed late, and de-
parted with the dawn. On the morn
ing of the sixteenth, Buzheninov left
for home. His entire baggage con-
sisted of a portfolio with sketches
and box with drawing materials.
