Good painting depends largely upon

Refractory" woods are problem
which science is attacking to eliminate

Arguments are advanced that the
higher building, of the same bulk as
now permitted in the lower and broader
buildings, would assure more spacious
grounds about buildings and therefore
more light and air; that the higher
buildings, having elevator service, are
more desirable to tenants, and that
buildings over four stories are more safe
since they must be of fire-resistant
construction
The brief. drafted for the architects

president, presents the following argu-
mentS for the proposed amendment:
1.-THE present side yard, rear yard and
lot-occupancy requirements in c area

lie in simply increasing these yard re-
quirements, as that would seriously dis
turb present land values and further
reduce the effective area Of apartment

too greatly restricted. The proposed
regulation, by increasing the height
while maintaining the same cubic con-
tents. would result in immensely su-
perior conditions of light and air.

The sloping character Of the site

that light and air will be available.
The exterior trim of the house will
be stained a soft gray-green, to har-
monte with the color of the woodland

All woodwork, including the panel

WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. TO-

police, Walsh has heard of Besse-
dowsky. A book has been written
by that particular renegade ana
CRATER, once an official in the Sow

has the book. BY brilliant detec-
tive work he found it for sale in a

ATTACKS REDS IN
ARMISTICE SPEECH
Calls for War on All
Communists

NEW YORK.-Whil the bosses talk
peace" on Arnaistice Day, they do
not overlook the question of prepar-
ing for attacks against the workers
in the United States who resist wage
cuts and demand unemployment in
surance.
Not only is capitalism preparing
for war against other imperialist ma
lions and against the Soviet Union,
but is arning for an attack against
a revolutionary working class fighting
against capitalism. Ex-embassador to
Mexico James R. Sheffield, in an
Armistice Day statement made this
clear. He said:
"Signs are not wanting that the
foundations of liberty and self-gov-
eminent are challenged. The Com
munists and the extreme radical are
actively at work to that end. If men
are willing to fight on foreign soil to
uphold principles of government in
which they believe, they should be
equally willing to fight at home to up
hold the same principle"

What Unemployment,
Wage Cuts Mean for
Workers Children

Hoover had just issued from the
elegant White House in Washington
a proclamation for "a general
Thanksgiving to Almighty God for
the blessings of life and that means
to sustain it :" and among various
other things, for "the gains in the
prevention of disease and in the pro-
lection of childhood"
But the Perrones, crowded in their
Brooklyn tenement fiat, at 1896 Paci-
ifs ST., had other things to think
about than wordy proclamations.
Charles Perrone, shoemaker by
trade, with family of eight looking
to him for bread, has had no work
since June. Five anxious, foot-sore
months, spent in a vain search for
work. Rose, the oldest daughter, now
nineteen, has had no work since Aug

been pounding the pavements for six
months. Mrs. Perrone, forty-five, has
been too busy caring for the four

have made her think it's hopeless
task.

Hoover Thankful for Thirty
Million Starving Children

she has only four. For Frank Per-
rome, aged two, was found dead in
his crib. DR.. Lavanberg of Unity
Hospital said the child has died of
malnutrition-which is a rather po-
lite term for starvation. Little Frank
was starved to death. Anthony, Flor
ence and the others may soon follow.
There is no money with which to
bury the baby, no money with which
to feed the living. Charles Perrone,
now forty-seven, has given more than
twenty-five years of labor. He has
created mass of wealth for his en-
ployers. Now he and his family are
actually being starved to death. Yet
Hoover tells the Perrones and their

"the blessings of life and the means
to sustain it,"
Little Frank Perrone is but one

FASCISTS IN
AUSTRIA Get
A SETBACK
Socialists Use the Left
Phrases to Fool
Workers
Will Aid Boss Parties
Communists Gain in
Industrial Centers

NEW YORK. Reports of the Aus
/ TRAN elections show a parliamentary
defeat for the fascists and the Heinz
wehr party, led by Prince Won Star
hemberg. Despite the fact that Won
Starhembergm, who is in the govern
ment, ordered the disarming of the
workers, the fascists met with re-
verses. The winners in the election
were the social democrats, who were
able to fool the workers with their
left phrases, while aiding the fascists,
and the Christian social party, rep
resenting the big capitalists Of Aus
tria.
An International Press Correspond
ence Gable to the Daily Worker states
that in the industrial centers the
Communist Party made advances in
the election. For instance, in Vienna
the vote totalled 1851 as against
1921 in 1921. In the rural districts
the Communist vote was unchanged.
AS a result of the elections the
Social Democrats obtained 70 seats
in the parliament; the Christian So
cial party Ga grouping of the big
bourgeoisie) obtained SO; the econ
omic party Ga section of the big bank
ers and bourgeoisie representing the
right" fascist elements) obtained 10
seats, while the outright fascistS in
the Heimwehr party got seats.
1t was the threat of Won Starhem-
berg that if the fascists in the Helm
wehr did not win the elections they
would prepare to take power by force.
The capitalist newspapers refer to
the results of the election as dead
lock-" but the social democrats can
be counted on to aid the capitalist
parties out of any deadlock as did
the social democrats in Germany who
fully supported the Bruening govern
ment.

COMMUNIST VOTE
STILL PILING UP
700 in Pittsburgh Is
Expected; Other Gains

NEW YORK.-Though most of the
big industrial towns outside of Ohio
are still to be heard from, scattering
reports from smaller centers continue
to arrive and show great gains in the
Communist vote.
Returns are incomplete in Pitts
burgh, but indications are that there
will be about 700 as against 1913 in
1923. The heaviest Communist vote
is in Hardwood and South Side Sec
tons, where the steel workers live. A
general stealing of votes were con-
Quoted by the capitalist election
boards. At one place where it is
known for fact that were cast
only one was reported. There are
10000 less voters this year in Pitts
burgh because so many workers
could not pay their poll tax.
The latest Pennsylvania report
shows 1893 votes from Schuylkin
county, in the lower anthracite re-
gion. This is three times the vote
here last year, and was given by the
miners without much of a Communist
campaign as all speakers were en-
gagged in the organization of miners,
and were most of the time in Jail.
Grow In Steel Centers.
The Communist vote in Washing-
| ton, Pa, increased from 8 in 1928 to
| IT this year. This is a steel and
mining town.
In Portgage, the coal mining center
of central Pennsylvania, the vote this
year is 83, more than Is per cent of
the total In 1928 it was 10.
Warren country, Pa, shows AZ
Communist votes this year, against 8
in 1928. Cumberland county shows
ga, as against Is in 1923. Complete
returns for Monessen give 116 COM
munist votes, as against 80 in 1928.
Returns from Jeanette and vicinity

Woodlawn Vote.
In Woodlawn, scene of the famous

workers Muselin, Reseter and lima
were sent up for years for belong
ing to the Communist Party, there
were % votes in four wards, with 5
wards still unreported. The town is
now called aliqquipa.
In New Jersey. in eleven out of 81

votes recorded. Two years ago the
whole state gave 1855. In Essex
county there were 1888 votes this year,
and 229 in 1928 Mercer county gives
