GUNBOATS REFUSE 7 CHINESE RADICALS
Ships Gunners Rout Land
 Forces -Shasi Captured

Hankow, China, Sept 9 P9Two foreign gunboats repulsed com munst attacks at nearby points on the Yangtze river yesterday inflict- ing heavy damage on their adversa- ries. Dispatches said neither of the foreign gunboats suffered casualties.
 The warships involved were the American gunboat Tutuila and the British gunboat Ladybird.
 Fire on Tutuila
 A rowing communist band fired upon the Tutuila with machine guns and trench mortars about so miles above Yochow, Human province. The warship answered with three inch rifles and machine guns. The bandits were dislodged from their position along the river bank. Their mortars were destroyed. Dispatches failed to state whether any reds were killed or wounded.
 The Ladybird met an attack by the communist raider Shasi near the city of Shasi Hupeh province, with heavy barrage from her six inch guns. Quickly silencing the red vessels guns, the Ladybird fired upon the river banks, raking com- munist strongholds outside the city.
 Naval dispatches said the Lady bird, in addition to inflicting heavy damage on the communist raider, prevented the reds from reentering the city of Shasi a portion of which they pillaged and burned Friday.
 Serious Trouble Feared
 Serious trouble was expected by authorities from a band of. 5000 former government troops who de- clared their independence and were pillaging villages near Ichang. Hupeh. The soldiers, whose com- manding officer was held prisoner by nationalist authorities at Ichang, were reported to have killed many villagers and to have tossed their bodies into the Yangtze.
 Fate Left In Doubt
 Washington, Sept. R-The cap ture by communist forces of Shasi, a city in Hupeh province. China, re- ported to the state department late yesterday, left in doubt the fate of American citizens known to have resided there.
 Four Americans were reported safe aboard Japanese vessels, but their identity was not disclosed. Whether more were in the city at the time it fell to the invaders on September 5. could not be ascertain ed. Department records list as Shasi residents Reverend and Mrs. Elmer Zimmerman of Alton, Illinois. and one child. and Miss Gertrude Simon of Zachow, Wisconsin. She was connected with the Evangelical Lutheran mission.
 The report came to Washington from the American consulate gen. eral at Hankow and was based on information obtained from the Han liow public safety bureau. It told

 Investigators said Harmon admit ted firing the shot through his own windshield to impress girl he knew in Kansas.
 Miguel Garcia, Mexican arrested the day Harmon was taken into GUS tody, was charged with staying his wife, found with twenty-three knife wounds in her body. Owing to the similarity of the wounds to those which took the life of Miss Kentle and Conlon, Garcia was questioned concerning his whereabouts during the last month.

Radio is recruiting many of its stars from the stage and the nov ies. Tomorrow radio will have its own stars. For, according to men high /i in radio ranks, broadcasting is developing a class of entertainers which will no longer make it neces- sary to recruit from other fields.
 Through the 10 years radio has been functioning popularly, head liners on radio programs have been those who have succeeded before the footlights. Even today scan- ming of the radio roster will show such names as Frank Crumit and Julia Sanderson, Ginger Rogers, singers and host of others.

SOCIALIST BROUN-ANTICS
OF A KINGS FOOL

"distrusting' the other capitalist parties, thus
preventing them from following the party of
real and genuine MARKHAM socialism, the Com
munist Party.
As to Broun's claim to a seat in Congress,
the Telegram says that it is "a matter of no
importance"-the Kings Fool need not be con-
sidered seriously because he itches for the
royal chair while the monarch is retired to
the gentlemen's room with a crisis bellyache.
The Fool remains a Fool and can keep his
job, -....t ,..,.,-
Who Cares What a Fool Says?
The matter of Brouns opinion are of i'm
portance to nobody Not to the Socialist" par
ty, because it accepts him though he abjure
socialism, perhaps because he abjures it. The
Telegram says that it runs his drvel because
it is interesting" though they, too, don't
share his opinions 1t adds that Brouns read
ers also are mot in agreement with him. 4"
Who in the hell takes the Kinks Fool seriously?
The answer is, the Fool himself! Trying
bravely to reply to his editor boss, on August
10. Brom returns from his vacation and says
that the boss is absolutely right; that il is
mot in the least inconsistent" for the Tele-
gram to oppose socialism and yet support Nor
man Thomas. And, witless as ever remarks:
at would be silly for a passenger to say:
4 can't ge; on that Van Cortland Park ex-
72nd St Surely Thomas and the rest of US
going in The direction toward which the
Scrpps-Howard papers are heading. Why
shouldn't they get on board? Well let them
off when they think they've reached their
destination"
Certainly the Socialist" party will ''let CAPT
talism off" when its "destination"-the side
tracking of discomfort against capitalsm-has
been reached to their satisfaction by the $50
cialists."
Certainly the Socialists" are "going in the
direction" of capitalism and its other servants
and guardians, including the Telegram.
Get On the Through Train.
The workers have something to learn from
this comedy Of the Kings fool. That the so
cioliSt" party is capitalist party in disguise.
That it is being boosted now by capitalism to
serve as a trap, to catch them and hold them
away from the only anti-capitast party. he
only revolutionary workers party, the Corn,
munist Party, the Party of Marx and Lenin.
The Communist Party does not invite the
bosses to get on any Van Cortland Party ex-
press. And it doesn't promise to 'let them
off at 72nd ST. 1t is through train to
revolution; to a Workers and Farmers Gov
eminent, to a Soviet U.S.A.
The Communist Party does, however, invite
the workers to vote Communist But it asks
them also, as a guarantee of getting what
they vote for, to organize in their shops for
the class struggle which goes on every day
for social insurance, for higher wages for
the seven-hour, five-day week. and to carry
on their struggle until capitalism with all its
socialist" servants is overthrow.
