Improvements Made in
Nearby Va. Counties

Centering around Arlington,
Alexandria and Fairfax counties,
considerable activity in highway
and road construction and i'm
provement was noted in the
northern Virginia area during
the past year, according to the
Northern Virginia Bureau.
In line with the rebuilding and
repaving of major highways from
Washington to the West and
South, the Lee Highway has been
widened and repaved to Halls
Hill, Mount Vernon Avenue to
the new Alexandria city line.
Wilson Boulevard to Clarendon,
and the State Highway Depart
ment is widening U. s. Rout No.
l, the Washington Richmond High
way, and repaving it to the Alex
andria city line. Other similar
improvements were made on two
connecting highways, the Lees
burg Pike and Glebe Road.

ATLAS IS D. KID

The executive committee Of the
Washington real estate board has
approved plans and specifications
for a comprehensive real estate
atlas Of Montgomery county, Nd,
submitted by Frank H. M. Klinge,
engineer and publisher Of Lans-
dale, Pa, according to j.. F. NJ.
Bowie, chairman of a special COM
mittee Of the realtors organiza-
ton. Before final approval Of
the real estate board was given
the project, the committee had
conferred with Irving c. Root, Of
the Maryland National Capital
Park and Planning Commission;
T. Howard Duckett, representing
the Washington suburban sani-
tary commission, as well as other
prominent Maryland county Off
cialS and leaders.
Every phase, of development in
this populous and fast-growing
area of Washington was care
fully analyzed and the atlas,
which will be prepared along the
same lines as the plat books Of
the District Of Columbia, will en-
brace a wide range of, informa-
ton. Through the cooperation
of local and county financial
and business interests it is ex-
pected that a sufficient number
of subscribers will be obtained to
permit initial work on the plat
book to be started in the imme-
date future.
In outlining the details of the
plans, Bowie said the atlas will
be published in colorS and, among
other things, would show every
lot, parcel, farm and undeveloped
acreage, with names of subdivis-
ions, dary lines, areas,
owners names, building of all
types, house numbers and all
projected park and planning COM
mission developments.
Pointing out that for all practi-
cal purposes. Montgomery county
is a part of the District of Co
lumbia, Bowie said there has been
an increasingly serious need for
an accurate, authentic and com
plete atlas Of this section.

L. E. Brueninger and Sons,
builders of this lovely Dutch
colonial home in Shepherd Park,
invite WaShingtonians to view
this latest achievement in home
construction.
The location of the model
home, just off Sixteenth Street

The young Worker" and
Our Immediate Tasks
BY SAM REED.

OUR League has recently demonstrated that
it is capable of doing Communist work, and
of building the organization. On March 6, on
May l. as we'll as in other campaigns in recent
months the League has played a leading role.
The establishment of the Weekly Young
Worker must be considered as an outstanding
achievement of our League
However, the gap between our organzational
strength and our influence is as yet too wide.
The Young Communist League is not yet root
ed in the factories and shops. 1t is not even
known yet among the broad masses of young
workers. AS one of the best means to further
extend influence AMI our organizational
strength, is to build up the Young Worker as
the paper of the masses of youth in industry
When the young workers read our paper they
will learn more about the class struggle of the
role of the youth in that struggle, and the
part played by our League in leading the young
workers in the fight against the bosses. Hence,
by building up of the circulation and influence
of the Young Worker we are laying the ground
for the building up of our Young Communist
League mass youth organization
The drive to establish the Weekly Young
Worker which has started on March l.. has
revealed some very serious weaknesses in our
work, weaknesses which we must overcome if
are to complete the drive successfully and
maintain the Young Worker as a weekly. What
are the shortc omngs in our work so far?
First of all there seems to be a. general un-
derestmation of the political Importance of
the Young Worker a medium of reaching
the American proletarian youth. Our member
ship does not yet understand that as a means
of crystallizing the present growing discomfort
(due to the effects of the economic crisis, I'M
employment, speed-up etc. among the young
workers must be made into mass organ, as
the spokesman, propaganda and organizer of
the youth.
The second shortcomng noticeable is the
resistance on the part of considerable number
OF our members to do the every day "little"
work of going around soliciting subs, ads, col
Letting funds, etc. For many of our League
members this most elementary but important
work is mot political enough" This tendency
is remnant of the old (from the days of
Zam, etc.. Here we find a whole lot of phrase
mongering of speech making, but failure to
produce results Il am referring to such dis
tricts like Detroit and Cleveland.)
The last outstanding weakness of ours IN
this drive is the lack Of an apparatus. This is
true of every district and every unit. The
National Executive Committee is largely res
Donsible for the GO lure TO build w function
ing apparatus for The widest sale and distr.-

button of our weekly. By an apparatus We
mean plan of organization in every unit and
in every district, by which means the Young
Worker will be spread among the youth in the
factories, in youth organizations, on the streets
and wherever young workers are found
AS part of carrying out the Plan OF Ac-
ton ISSUED by the N.E.C.) as part of our
work in making the necessary turn toward,
mass activity we must mobilize the entire
League to maintain the Young Worker cs
weekly. Concrete every day work must lie CT
red out by every member. A real well func-
tioning machinery must be established where
by each unit will sell the Young Worker ct
factory gates at meetings, demonstration, etc.
Shock troops should be formed in every unit
a means of getting best results, aud as
medium of mobilization Of the membership for
action. The drive for the weekly is still on.
Every district can and must intensity its work
in the drive. Only by . real conscious effort
on the part of the entire League will our
Young Worker become the newspaper of the
militant youth. Over the top in the drive by

class or again. entirely covered with business
houses were, instead of being disregarded
visited repeatedly the following two Sundays.
There was no check up the experience at
tanned from one Red Sunday to the following
one.
A. There was not sufficient number of
copies of Daily Workers. the Liberator, the
Working Woman, II Lavoratore, etc.. on hand
for distribution. Naturally because of this
soppiness and disorganized manner of Red Sum
day activity the energy exerted by those who
did show up practically hopeless. In this
period and at this stage of development of
our Party such condition is and should be in
tolerable.
Do Not Respond to Struggle.
Regardless Of the fact that the struggles are
rising rapidly and decisive battles are i'm
Observation-Disclosures, some of our membership
seem to react in such unconscious manner
as though this did not concern them at ALL
What does this signify?
This shows that some of our comrades are
tagging behind the times and, simply drift
ing smoothly and calmly along the current
which leads away from the working masses
and their daily struggles Our membership
fails to live up to the decisions of the Tenth
Penum of the E.C.C.I.
While the bourgeoisie are preparing for any
emergencies that will arise from the maturing
mass battles, our membership is falling down
on the job; is tagging behind. The demonstra-
lions our Party had in this city lately should
serve as ample proof to those comrades who
are still floating in the air and dreaming
dreams. Our Party, the working class
whole, cannot afford the danger of being caught
in confusion.
We are today living through a period of
revolutionary upsurge. Our Party must utilize
and call to duty every single comrade in what
ever field of work he may fit in.
Our Red Sundays will become Red Sundays
only when Party membership will pene-
trate deep into the working masses and rally
stalwart' Fighters and defenders of our Party
program. The decisions Of the Tenth Plenum
of the E.C.CI. will bear fruit only when our
Party membership and activity will become
the guiding light and leadership of the Amer
lean working class. This cannot be attained
by mrely attending a mass meeting and be-
come drunk with victory by shere applause.
Everyday work Of our Party must become the
duty Of every Party comrade.

BY EVA SHAFRAN.

THAT the capitalist class is alarmed over the
miitancy of the working class throughout
the entire country, can be seen by the con-
fusion displayed by the capitalists and their
servants of all shades, at the present moment.
In one place the boss class suppressCs the
workers with an iron hand. In another it is
'lenient." With one hand capitalism puts.
working class leaders in Jail, refuses to let
them out on bail; with the other, though coed
servants of capitalism, it thinks" that this Is
not the Fright tactics" and so on down tie
line.
Capitalism in Southern California decided
to rule with an iron hand. Not one meeting
of the Communist Party, of the Trade Unia
Unity League, of the International Labor De-
tense passes without the "Red Squad" inter-
ference, Or breaking it up.
AS result of this, the workers of Los An
geles and the surrounding cities organic
ing workers self-defense organizations TO pro-
tect their meetings and demonstrations as well
as the movement generally.
Capitalism in Southern California hopes,
through the increased police terror, to stifle
the revolutionary movement here But we see
entirely another thing taking place: the Com
munist Party the T.U.U.L., the Unemployed
Council, is growing daily, and the revolution
airy mood of the workers is increasing tremen-
dously.
March 9th Fighters.
All this was especially reflected in the trial
of the II workers and leaders of the Unem-
ployment Demonstration on March G. that
opened on April 8, and lasted till April IA.
As a result of the great demonstration that
we had here in Los Angeles, on March 9th,
when tens of thousands of workers came out
to the City Hall at the call of the Communist
Party and T.U.U.L.. for unemployment relief
and the general struggle against capitalism

culous, for everyone of these men and women
had their minds fixed even before they came
to court; that this was the only reason for
calling them to be jurors. Through questions,
the comrades brought out clearly that the Sim

to the question of private property, and the
protection of private property by the govern
ment at the expense of the toiling masses;
and finally, that the jurors were against the

THE practical everyday activity of the Com
munist Party should be directed towards
the winning of the leading role and the es-
tablishment of its influence among the work
ing masses.
Communist Red Sundays should give us the
opportunity of widening the scope of our
tivity in penetrating into the masses of workers
that our Party membership is unable to come
in contact with in the various factories and
shops.
Red Sundays should be the medium of APP
proach in carrying forward Communist agita-
ton and propaganda to the workers. How
ever, what is the procedure of our work during
Red Sundays. How do we go about them and
what are our results?
Experiences of Red Sunday.
Let us examine the Red Sundays in Section
One, District 2, which we had lately
/. Our membership was not organized for
Red Sunday activity. This was proven by the
number of comrades who showed up. A small
fraction of Section One membership turned up
during the three consecutive Red Sundays Fur
Their, practically the same comrades reported
for duty Sunday after Sunday.
g The Red Sunday activity was not carried
through in an organized manner.
(a) Comrades sent out at random to
streets and localities which were picked with
out consideration as to whether they were
residential or business districts
(b) The significance of language districts
were ignored. For instance, Italian comrades
were given To canvass locality consisting of
entirely American, Sovak, Greek, and Jewish
residents. Those who could have done we'll
their own nationals were sent to localities
where they could not put forth the message
of our Party as well as they would have done
were they sent to the correct place.
(c) The result was that very little was ac-
complished. 1t happened so all down the line.

Red Sunday because of either having no work
ers residing there or, composed of the boss

Is finally completed. But the Federal
Radio Commission ordered ii and in SO
doing made no public announcement to
that end.
Audience Views Sought.
Radio supervisors in the various ter
ritories and their corps of inspectors
themselves are listening in on stations
with tally sheets. Key organizations in
all communities are being solicited and
wherever possible direct listener senti-
ment is obtained-all with the view of
getting the composite listener opinion
on program quality of every station
licensed to operate.
In the final analysis, the results Of
the project will be derived from four
distinct national surveys. The first,
now in progress, will cover the Summer
months. Fall, when radio season" is
ushered in, will be the second. and dur
ing the remaining two seasons indie
pendent surveys will be made in the
field.
The purpose of this is explained by
William D. Terrell, chief of the radio
division and the first Federal radio Of
fetal ever to hold ONCE, who is direct
ing the unprecedented project. Radio
conditions, and to large degree, sta
ton programs, vary with the seasons,
he pointed out. Consequently If an &C
curate appraisal of program merit is to
be made it must be on year-around per-
Torrance.
After the four seasonal surveys are
made by the field forces, the findings

viii be collated. and the stations rated
accordingly. The commission is con-
sidering such station ratings as a basis
for the award of preferential assign
ments in the ether. Stations recognized
as most popular in their particular
power categories. because of program
accorded the desirable assignments.
Such scheme was considered by the
Senate Interstate Commerce Committee
during its recent far-reaching investi-
CATION of radio. Mr.. Terrell suggests
that an individual or a special board
be created to review the findings of
the supervisors and assign the station
ratings.
In addition to tuning in stations
themselves, the supervisors and their
inspectors will query chambers of COM
merce, boards of trade, boards of edu-
cation. and similar civic and community

The Rev. Harry weidner, Cleveland,
yesterday told the 1000 young Luther
ans assembled for the convention that
the churches should not be made a
weapon for prohibitionistS.
The Lutheran Church does not want
to force its views upon any one through
the State" he said. 1T feels that the
prohibition law expresses the religious
sentiment of a few churches who con-
slider it their duty to tell others not
afiliated with them how they must live.
THE Lutheran Church feels that
this is usurping the rights of the State.
1T does not deny the right of an
individual to express at the polls the
conviction that prohibition will bene-
fit the country, but it feels that he
should not endeavor, through the
