HAIFA, Palestine, Aug. 28.-
British airplanes bombed a group
of Arabs near Athlit, not far from
Haifa, today. Troops shot into
Arab villagers from Tirah, killed
many and took As prisoners. The
rest of the Arab villagers are hid

filed protest against the British
troops in Palestine and the pogrcms
provoked by the Jewish and Ara
bian religious leaders.
A demonstration of 10000 Arabs
marched through Damascus early
today, protesting Zionist penetration
of Palestine, and the swindling of
the Arabian peasants of their land
by Jewish financiers and the British
rule to establish big capitalist plan
tatiens in the guise of building a
Jewish home land"
The procession was followed by
clashes between Jews and Arabs.
More reports of convergence of
Arabian tribes in Syria and Trans
Jordania on the Palestinian bor-
der were received here today, and
there are many indications that the
pogrom movement will not after all
shunt off the wrath of the Arabian
peasants against their imperialist
oppressors into the channels of a
holy war against the Jews.
JERUSALEM, Palestine, August
2S.-Fighting continues, though at
a slower tempo. British troops are
pouring into the Palestinian cities
as warship after warship arrives in
the harbors.
These troops fire on all bodies of
men observed, and have already
piled up a huge death list. At
Haifa, they shot Jews and Arabs
alike.

that the new organization will be
composed of both the militant in
dustrial unions already formed and
the left wing movements in the re-
dictionary trade. unions, as well as
shop organizations and local unions

The draft constitution simultane-
ously proposed to the convention by
the T. U. E. L. names this new trade
union, organizational and agitational
center, the TRADE Union Unity
League"
Tells of Class War.
The draft program begins with
an analysis of the capitalist system
in the United States and in the
world. 1t uses government figures
to prove that in the United States
one per cent of the population owns
a third of the national wealth and
that less than 25 per cent of the
population owns 80 per cent of the
wealth, that the rich are getting
richer and the poor grow poorer.
The program points to the bitter
exploitation, the starvation wage in
many industries, and the continued
naturalization of industry, driving
more and more out of work, until
at present there is permanent un-
employed army of 100000. The
Negro workers, the program points
out, are specially exploited group,
and are otherwise Disseminated
against by Jim Crowism and lynch
ings, etc.

profits, turned to capital, which

menced here today of the Hungarian
Communist emigrants Ernst and
Hermann Mueller, DR.. Grajczi and
Rosa Hesky, who were arrested last
May during police raid on the
Hungarian Emigrant Bureau. The
trial is similar to the Bella Kun
trial.
The defendants are accused of Sc
cret association and passport for
geries. The accused denied the
charges, declaring the Hungarian
Communist Party was openly pur-
suing its open aims among the
masses. They proudly admitted do
ing everything possible to assist the
Party.
Most of the witnesses were de-
tectives. A bottle of fluid, confis-
Gated from the emigrant burean by
police, and allegedly containing
chemicals used to tamper with pass
ports, proved utterly harmless
The prosecution was also unable
to prove that the confiscated radio
apparatus was used to establish
connection with Hungary. The de-
Tending lawyer proved that the con-
fiscated material had been handed
by the Vienna police, in defiance of
Austrian law, to the Budapest police
long before the Austrian COURTS re-
ceived the material.

tion at Mountain Camp.

President Hoover today is observing
his fifty-fifth birthday anniversary in
restful relaxation amid the quiet and
beauty of his camp on the headwaters
of the Rapidan River. in the Blue Ridge
Mountains OF Virginia.
According to word received today at
the White House from the Presidents
camp. no plans have been made for
anything resembling real celebration
of his birthday. OF course, he received
any number Of reminders, mostly in the
form of congratula tons. and the camp
birthday cake, with plenty of icing and
candles. and probably other little fea-
lures suggestive of the occasion. 1t is
thought unlikely, however, that the
President received any reminders in the
form of whscks on the back, the popu-
lar American custom for celebrating
birthdays.
Greetings Received.

President received any birthday pres

by the PRESIDENT almost as soon as he
had finished breakfast.
Mr.. and Mrs. Hoover are represented
as not being of the kind to get wildly
excited over each others birthdays, at
least to the extent of showering costly
presents on one another, or arranging
big birthday parties. Their idea seems
to be to have a few intimate friends
in for dinner and to let it 60 at that.
1t is understood. however, that some
members Of Mr.. Hoovers week end party
have different ideas about observing

surprises to introduce during the BIRTH
day dinner tonight. 1t is thought these
surprises will be novelties suggestive ot
some OF the humorous episodes that
