u. S. Steel Corporation Prediction Of Upturr

Why should the much-heralded
opening Of the automobile plants be
followed with a reduction in auto
output? Why, at the same time,
should steel output drop? Before
these two facts became evident and
were published in the capitalist
press, the Daily Worker exposed the
hoax Of the auto plant resumption.
The truth is, only a small fraction
of the workers laid off were re-
employed. A number of these will
be fired again in week or so.
Hidden away in the financial sec
ton Of the capitalist press are some
startling proofs of the Daily Worker
expose. Says a special dispitch to
the n. Y. Sun august 81:
steel producers are surprised
that there could be the reported
resumption of automobile manu-
facture with so little steel, and
conclude that there were stocks
of steel and parts. Nor is the
resumption equal to expectations.

URI OLESHA'S THREE FAT MEN"
is BIG SUCCESS IN MOSCOW

Although the majority of the
theatres in Moscow are doing very
little at this time of the year, this
being off-season for the general
presentation of new material, one
of the institutions of the Russian
capital, the Moscow Art, is active
and has a hit in the new play
by a talented and gifted Soviet
writer and dramatist, Uri Olesha,
whose latest mental child "Three
Fat Men" is the talk of the city.
The play, according to a dispatch
to the local theatrical weekly, Va
riety, is being shown several times
each week to enthusiastic working
class audiences. It is jammed full
of color and exotic scenic effects,
humor and satiric situations. 1t is
done in the usual futuristic style the
Moscow Art Theatre is noted for.
"Three Fat Men" is-capitalism
religion and capitalistic government
The three form the satirical side of
the play. The plot is dream-within-
dream affairs, and is very effective.
One of the scenes is the kitchen Of
TIE three fat men. The entire stage

Roasts so huge that they must be
