TRAIN STOP URGED
FOR TAKOMA PARK
Delegation Visits B. & o. Official.
Hears Silver Spring Is
Preferred.

A delegation Of residents of Takona
Park held q conference with c. w. CAL
loway, vice president in charge of oper-
ations and maintenance of the Balti-
more g. Ohio Railroad, at his Office in
Baltimore with q. view to securing stop
for east and west bound trains at Tako-
ma Park.
H. H. votaw, representing the
Seventh Day Adventists' Association,
acted as spokesman for the delegation
and pointed out the advantages this
service would render to the travellers to
and from Takoma Park. He told of
the growth of the suburb and the close
proximity of the Takoma Park station
to Walter Reed Hospital, the Bliss Elec-
trical School and the Seventh Day Ad-
ventist schools, colleges and sanitarium
At the present time travellers are COM
PEELED to go into the city to Union Sta
ton.
Vice President Galloway informed the
committee that the matter was not
under consideration, but that when 1t
did come up, the station would not be
In Takoma Park. If the matter was
left to him personally, he said, he would
be inclined to favor a station at Silver
Spring. He pointed out that the rail-
road was confronted with a seventeenth
per cent grade on the tracks at Takoma
Park, which made it practically i'm
possible to stop and start trains.
In addition to Mr.. VotaW, others
comprising the delegation were Elder

DOG[|KE SNAKE
FOSSIL is SOUGHT
Creature Is Believed Half
Way Between Lizard and

BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, May 16-Every one who
likes dogs will be glad to hear that the
University of Chicago is sending an
expedition 10000 miles to search the
southeastern tip of Africa for hound
with some of the characteristics of a
lizard; or, putting 1t another way, a
reptile that Is almost a dacfshund.
His pedigree goes back beyond the
memory of man, but the lizard-like
hound never will be entered in a dog
show; for Prof. A. S. Romer and his
technical associate. Paul C. Miller, do
not hope to find their quarry cavorting
on the veldt or chasing fleas in the
shade of a South African tree.
Fossil for Quite While.
This creature, half way between the
lizard and the dog on the ladder Of
evolution, has been fossil for some
thing like 100,000,000 years, and what
the University of Chicago men expect
to collect is his fossil remains. 1t is
all a part of the lniversity's research
into the origin of mammals-warm-
blooded, hairy creatures who nurse their
young.
Some fossil fragments of mammal
like reptile, the cynognathus Qiterally

Miller's value to the expedition lies
in his extraordinary skill in recovering
fossils from the hard rock in which
they usually are found. He was cow
boy in wyoming when group Of
scientists found him 90 years ago and
started him on his present career.
Since the Karroo Desert Is topograph-
ically similar to some sections OF
Wyoming, Miller will hunt the cynog-
nathus and related creatures In ter
ritory that will remind him Of his
cow-punching days.
Scientists are not certain about the
size of the creatures, but think some of
them may have been about the size OF
dachshund. They probably lived on
diet of insects and laid eggs.

Red Day IN Nev York on August I

many of our language groups and
newspapers which found expression
in their failure to actively support
the campaign and carry out the
Party line in its political aspects.
(3) In the early part of the
campaign that is, before the cam
paign had achieved few successes,
there was hesitation on the part of
some sections of the Party which
failed to respond Immediately to the
call for struggle. Comrades who
looked upon the campaign as an
over-ambitious attempt which did
not take into consideration the
necessities of moving slowly enough
to suit the most backward sections
of the Party and of the working
class.
(4) We found a lack of under
standing on the part of many lead
ing functionaries in our ranks as
to what constitutes demonstrations
In some places our comrades failed
entirely to use mass and live forms
of activity and where demonstra-
ton even reached several thousand
workers who were trying to carry
on in spirited fashion, our comrades
failed to prepare properly with
banners, ETC., and the speakers made
long speeches which made actual
demonstration impossible.
(5) We must also recognize a
certain lack of trained forces for
such struggle.
What are the perspectives for
struggle now? We have gained
thru this campaign:
1. An excellent base for a mass
movement in the United Front Con-
ference Against Imperialist War
and for the Defense of the Soviet
Union.
J 2. We have gained the sympa-
thetic and active support of many
tens of thousands of workers whom
we did not before reach on issues
of such high political level.
8. Both the working class and
our Party gained a wealth of ex-
perience as how to conduct a
struggle.
A. We improv our Party
machinery, overcame much of the
hesitation and resistance of sections
of our Party and won many hither-
to apathetic elements in our Party
to active struggle.
With the new forces and new ex-
periences gained and with the in
evitable intensifying situation, the
perspectives are for greater strug-
gle, greater achievements and more
favorable opportunities for building
mass Communist Party, for rails
ing the level of the struggle of the
working class and for advancing the
revolutionary movement in the U. S.

MOSCOW, U. S. S. R., Aug. g.
The all-metal, bi-motored Soviet
monoplane Land of the Soviets, COM
pleted the first leg of its round-thez
world flight to New York yesterday
when it landed in Osmk, in the Ak
molinsk province of Siberia, four
teen hours after leaving Moscow,
covering the 1850 miles at an av-
erage speed of nearly 100 miles an
hour.
The next stop of the plane, which
is manned by four flyers, is Novo--
Sibirsk, a comparatively short hop
of 375 miles. The rest of the dis
tance to the pacific coast is to be
flown in easy stages. 1t is planned
to reach Ticolaievsk in about twelve
days, where the Land of the Soviets
will be fitted with pontoons for
transoceanic flight, making stops at
Petropavelsk, the Aleutian Islands,
Unalaska, Seward, and Sitka; from
there it will proceed to Seattle, San
Francisco, Chicago and New York.

Workers Bitter.
Bitter indignation is high against
the Hillman-C chatham machine here
among the clothing workers, who
know that these murderous attacks
upon militant workers are an at
tempt to crush the revolt of the
tailors. Never has the corrupt
Amalgamated machine been so des-
perate as a result of the growing
mass movement among the workers.
The present attack is the second
this week. Last Tuesday, TEEN and
four other militant workers were
viciously assaulted by Amalgamated
gangsters while they were distribut-
ing leaflets before the Fashion Park
factory, which employs over 5000
workers.
Working hand in hand with the
police and the bosses, the A. c w.
officials, in order to ward off re-
sponsibility for the attack, had war
rants sworn out against the workers.
As a result, four of the militants,
Teen, Sol Horowitz, industrial or
ganizer of the Communist Party,

munist Party, and Louis Biegelman
were each held under $1,000 bail for

Must Form Shop Groups.
Williamson, assistant national sec
rotary of the T. U. E. L., told of
some of the organizational aspects
of the preparation for the Cleve-
land conference. Over 100000
copies Of leaflet, emphasizing es-
pecially the need for organization
of shop committees, have been
printed and are being widely circu-
lated.
"a weekly organizational bulle-
tin is being sent out to all 7. u.
E. L. secretaries" Williamson said,
"and close touch is kept on all de-
tailed preparations for the Confer

He told of the outstanding pre-
liminary conferences being held in

ployment conference of the National

the rate for such loans is suddenly
raised one per cent it frequently
wipes cut the possibility of 1ealiz-
ing profits.
This was a deliberate Juggling by
the Federal Reserve System of the
money market in order to liquidate
the billions of dollars worth of small
holdings and means greater concen-
tration of stocks in the hands of the
big guns of Wall Street, who will be

Economically a considerable de-

cause the rapid rise in stocks
reached such stage that industry
was not able to produce sufficient
surplus to pay interest of the in
