'eatment and tortures by the po-

Ised Franz Michael Winkler was
resent when the accused Ladislaus
chess was so tortured by the po-
ce that he jumped out of a second
tory window to escape from the
orturers. Winkler described the
ortures in detail.
The indictment speech of the
ublic prosecutor then followed.
lis speech was ornamented with
lid attacks on the Soviet Union
nd the Communist Party, which
we're treated practically as synony-
nous terms. Communism aimed at
estroying the idea of God, the
atherland, the family and love, ac-
ording to him. Numerous mass
rails of Communists had taken
lace in Hungary. 1t was 'mpos-
ible for the police to crush Com
nunism and he therefore demanded
xemplary sentences. With regard
o the tortures and maltreatment,
lothing of the sort had occurred.

suppress q smile when you see the
members Of a parliament mounting
all this piffle. It would be ridicu-
lous II there were not behind all this
the grim reality of new attack
being prepared against the working
class. Behind this silly camouflage
there turks the real danger of class
assault on the labor movement.
The workers will have to repel the

of living, the seven-hour day and
five-day week, practically free rent,
free schools even in the highest
branches, abolition of unemploy-
ment, free medical treatment when
sick, vacations with pay, social in
surance, general culture, workers
clubs--and still system that is
more efficient for production than
the capitalist system with it's ter
rifle wage slavery and mass mis-
ery-that is why the bosses want to
destroy the Soviet Union. That is
one of the reasons for the Fish
Committee. 1t doesn't pretend the
Soviet industry is failure. Those
days have gone forever. Tt calls
for war on Russia, smashing the
Amtorg, smashing workers organ
izations in America-because I'M
less a resort is had to the sword,
the final arbiter, Soviet industry
will be too much of an example for
the millions of unemployed, for
the many more millions suffering
wage cuts in America.
Or, as Nelson chose to put it:
when the Five-Year Plan is COM
plete you will compete with the
whole world?"
Capitalist Propaganda.
Nelson is still too shrewd to
admit the example of such a system
is what he really fears. He took
the $40 a month average money
wage of the Soviet Union worker,
disregarded and ignored the enor-
mously greater wage the worker
gets in services, housing, food, cul-
ture, insurance, etc., and spoke of
a centralized Russian production
with $40 month wages dumping
90 million bushels of wheat, 100
million feet of lumber on our At
lantic coast" He tried to revive,
without success, the yarn about con-
Wet labor in the mines of U.S.S.R.
Bogdanov told him flatly that
labor was free in those mines.
The Amtorg statement giving all
the facts which the cross-examina-
ton Tuesday brought out in the
course of five hours of bullying and
sneering and glory seeking by the
committeeman, was read in little
over an hour yesterday. 1t was the
same statement Amtorg had been
trying all day the day before to
introduce.
No Other Witnesses.

Cincinnati Unemployed.
Then to mention this wonderful"
city, the gateway to the outh, which
is known the country over for its
efficient" manner in handling the
unemployment situation.
Here is what they actually done
through our wonderful" city man
ager, who formerly was a colonel in
the army and was brought here
from Washington, D. c., by the
capitalists. His system in connec-
ton with the welfare" committee
for the unemployed is as follows:
Three days a week for every man,
the work to be divided equally, and
each man was paid 80 cents an hour
or total of $7.20 a week for such
work as cleaning hospitals, paint
ing, etc; $3.50 a week! Who can
support family on that?
City Gyp Scheme.
The city managers pay is $4,000
year. Now, let us compare this
to the poor slaves who would work
and get $374.40 for a years work
at 80 cents per hour, or S7.20 a
week, 8 days a week. But this
efficient" manner only lasted a
few months, so the slaves are press
ing the sidewalks. Our city man.
ager has since resigned for a better
position with one of those great
chain stores. His efficiency is al
ready noticeable there,
During his resignation here he
was given a tremendous send-off,
banquet, flowers, and, of course,
plenty Of congratulations by the
cultured citizens of this efficient
community, the Queen City of the
West.

any to be found. Here l am, one

the part of Amtorg officials and
their attorneys to introduce such
evidence met with surly rebukes
from Fish and others of the COM
mittee.
Fish Admits Realty Stock.
Yesterday Bachman made direct
threat of deportation to Bogdanov.
You'll be lucky if you are still here
two or three years from now" said
the gentleman from West Virginia,
with a sneer.
Fish yesterday issued a "denial"
to the press that he owns real
estate, and was lying when he rose
in the committee and said that Fos-
ter, Communist candidate for gov
ernor, and now in Jail as a leader
of the unemployed, was wrong in
charging him with it. But Fish, in
his denial" admitted the very sub
stance of the Daily Workers &C.
cusation, namely that he was hiding
behind the name of Florence d.
Fish and realty corporation. The
real estate (millions of dollars
worth.-Ed.) is now owned by his
stepmother, this Florence d. Fish,
said Fish, and his own connection
with real estate was merely through
stock in real estate company
Fish is caught in the act, and his
Shiny attack on Foster pretty well

A new glider Of more advanced type
now Is nearing completion and the first
glider, a veteran of its clan, is being
overhauled and recovered. The new
glider will be of type combining some
of the features of the primary with
those of the secondary type and will be
suitable both for training and soaring
flights. 1t has a wing span of a. feet
and a weight of go pounds. This
makes it of more advanced type
than the utility glider, which is the
ordinary intermediate stage between the
primary and secondary. Steel tube
construction has been employed and a
covered fuselage is a feature of the
design.

on November 6, 1928. The banquet
probably will be held during the first

flying its third plane and has piled up
between 1900 and 1000 hours. Nearly
30 members have soloed, 80 of them
curing the past year. Some 100 mem
bers have graduated from its ground
school classes. The legion now is rec
ognlzed as one of the leading self
supporting flying clubs in the country.

McNAMEE'S QUESTION
BOX

@. Are the Landt Trio and White on
any program at preSent?-Barbara
Marvin, Charlton, N. Y.
A. Yes, I know they are ION the
8:15," and maybe on others 1 have over
looked. You may be interested to know
that the brothers not only sing but
work all the sound effects as well.
@. Can you give me a rough estimate
OF the salary usually given for local
commercial programs, with two or three
performers taking partly. G. r.
Richmond, Va.
A. Since that would depend not only
on the size of the city and the station
but also on the ability of the perform
ers, even a rough estimate is impoS-
slble. AT some small stations singers
have been known to do a half-hour
program for SIS. but if the station were
an important one in big city it might
be worth an advertisers while to spend
hundreds OF dollars for q fine enter
tainer and audience.
Q. Has Glenn Belts, in "Moonshine
and Honeysuckle," appeared in other
programs?-E. M. A., Washington, d. C.
A. Louis Mason was very well known
ON the air before he appeared as Glenn.
Three years or so ago he was featured
In broadcasts of o. Henry stories,
called "Retold Tales" and later he was
Louie of the team of Gus and Louie
In the Schradertown Band program.
1t was Mason who persuaded Lulu
Vollmer. in whose stage plays he had
previously appeared to try writing for
radio. The part of Glenn was created
especially for him.

Vallee appears in other programs be-
sides the Fleischmann hour?-E. M. b.

@. Why does N. B. c. allow ALVIN
! Bach to initiate Milton Cross SO
closely?-Mrs. Philip Wetheim, South
Bend, Ind.
A. Bach's style of announcing was
evolved independently. I doubt If he
ever heard Cross announce until long
after he had built his own style. Bach.
too, you know, is veteran announcer.
even If he hasn't been on the networks
so long. The chief resemblance, really,
Is in voice quality and kind of pro-
grams. Their styles are actually rather
different.

Speaking

And again, both prefer chuckles 70

hair on top.
Yerkes made his money In the music
business. A very long time ago he be-
gan making records for Edison. He was
the first man to put popular music on
those old wax cylinders. They made IL
at a time. There wasn't any copy
right and they recorded everything that
came along.
And then years later Yerkes had q
bright idea, he thought people who
played records would like TO see the
faces of the folks who played and sang
for them in the recording studios. He
invented new kind of record that
carries the picture Of the artists On its
face. In 1t he sank every uickle he
had. England liked 1t, and the new
records caught on over there. But
America had most of the phonographs,
and Americans weren't impressed. Be
sides a legal technicality deprived him
OF the revenue from England.
That wasn't so very long ago, and
after the old Edison days Yerkes had
been drumming for Victor Herbert and
later with the Philhar- Monte OrcheS-
ira. Back to music he went, and now
he has his own dance band. Since Il
has more than 40 men, however, ]
suppose I really ought to call it q Jazz
