Finnish Fascists Keep
Up Their PrOvOcatiOns
Against Soviet Union

MOSCOW.-The "Pravda" dis
cusses the relations between the
Soviet Union and its neighbor Fin
land in an article entitled, "Sense-
less Provocations." The article
points out that the anti-soviet cam
paign in Finland was accompanied
by cruel repressive measures
against all active workers in the
Finnish labor movement, that the
Finnish fascists have driven in
Vulnerable working class leaders
over the frontier into the Soviet
Union with the tacit support of the
Finnish authorities. In July the
Soviet government handed a pro-
test note to Finland calling for
measures against the constant vio-
lations of Soviet sovereignty by the
Finnish fascists with the support of
Finnish officials. The answer Of
the Finnish government was a rare
example of deliberate distortion Of
the known truth and carefully
avoided answering the numerous
documented cases quoted by the
Soviet government and made no
answer to the proved cases of Fin
nish official completely in the from
tier violations. After the Soviet
note the frontier violations con-
tinued, the fascists threatening their
victims with shooting unless they
cross the Soviet frontier "voluntar-
ily." The Finnish reply contained
baseless attack on the Soviet gov
eminent and at the same time re-
ferred to the victims of the fascists
as criminals. The frontier viola
tons must stop. The Finnish gov
eminent is we'll able to put an end
to these senseless provocations if
it will. The whole responsibility
for the consequences of continued
provocations must fall on the Shout
ders of the Finnish government.

CQChln EXPOSES
A Ne1U Drive
Against USSR

PARIS Ups .-Under the title,
"a New Wave Of Poison Gas!" Com
rade Marcel Cachin deals in an ar
ticle in "PHumanite" with the la
lest campaign of Indictment against
the Soviet Union.
The campaign was reminiscent of
the Kutiepov affair or of the Papal
encyclical. The socialist "Popu-
laire" was particularly prominent in
this campaign. Paul Faure was in
charge Of the attempt to warm up
the old hash of cooperation between
the Red Army and the German
Reichswehr in connection with the
visit of the Zeppelin to Moscow,
whilst his colleague, Rosenfeld, had
been told off to stir up the dregs of
public opinion" against the execu-
ton of the counter-revolutionary
foodwreckers in the Soviet Union.
Herriot himself had entered the
campaign against Soviet dumping"
with an appeal to the discipline to
protect itself against the Russian
grain fleet.
"Quotidien," Figaro" "Intransi-
geant" and the misnomer "rAmi du
Peuple" were already talking of
war against the Soviet Union. The
Soviet Union was allegedly attempt
ing to undermine and disturb the
world economic system and by ruin
ing public and private fortunes thus
pave the way for mass unrest with
political aims.
| This new campaign, which was in
any case a new proof of the grow
ing strength of the Soviet Union
and the steady development of So
cialism, was an integral part of the
methodical theological and material
preparations for war against the
first Workers and Peasants State.
However, the proletariat was
awakening more and more to a re-
alization of the acute danger threat
ening the Soviet Union. Yesterdays
demonstrations in Belleville were
proof of that. Every reference of
the Communist speakers, Comrades
Semard, Sadoul, Thorez and Cachin,
to the tremendous achievements Of
the Soviet Union were met with
storms of applause in the two great
election meetings. The stern action
of the Soviet Government in defense
Of the proletarian revolution met
with the complete approval of the
French working masses.
When the Communist speakers
compared the executions in the Sow
let Union with the executions dur
ing the great French revolution and
quoted Marat's famous dictum, ct
is just and humane to shed few
drops of unclean blood in order to
| prevent pure blood flowing in
streams" the masses burst into a
storm of approval with shouts of
"a la laterne! a la laternep whereby
they demonstrated their uncondi-
tional approval of the measures
taken by the Russian revolutionaries
in defense of the Soviet Union, the
fatherland of all the toilersi

the owner of the "speak" has a
weekly bill to pay of from $40 to
500 to police executives and dry
agents, depending on the sales.
High Officials in Racket
Officials high in the city and
state governments are involved in
ihe racket. AL Smith is part owner
Of brewery and Charles futile,
the church-going dry, was not
averse to doing a lucrative business
with bootleegers while he was fed

former secretary, now Commissioner
of Sanitat on, Charles Hand, was
blind if he didn't know that Michael
Laura, deputy street cleaning COM
missioner, was running rum on gar
bage scows owned by the city, and
Commissioner Hand is not blind.
Bill Dwyer, Master Gunman.
The master bootleggers who used
the city's garbage fleet to run rum
into the city were Bill Dwyer and
Paul Vaccarelli. Dwyer is quite the
toughest gunman in New York and
could chase Al Capone around the
block even though both trigger
fingers were encased in thick band
ages. When the capitalist news
papers wanted to say -fat Dwyer
was behind the scenes il. the garb-
age rum running, they said cit is
believed that former Atlanta con-
Wet is the financial genius in the
rum-ring." Well, if Bill Dwyer is
a genius Einstein is a bootlegger,
but here is no doubt that Dwyer
served time in Atlanta. Why didn't
the capitalist papers mention Dwy-
er's name? Were they afraid that
Bill would shoot up their editorial
rooms or wore they loath to speak
of the close friendship existant be-
tween City Hall and the master
gun nan?
The other Of the financial gent
uses" involved in the rum scows,
Vaccareili, alias Kelley, is the con-
victed gunman and strikebreaker
whose career has been described at
length in these articles. Vaccarelli
is the organizer and head of the A.
F. of L. Garbage Trimmers and
Sorters Union and as such is able
to call on Bill Green, president of
the A. F. of L. as well as the whole
New York police force, whenever
he wants to engage in little extra
LEGAL business.

to discuss "Graft in the New York

which New York cops engage in
today are dope-selling, operating

In some af these ventures magi-

keep their silence upon the payment
of tribute, and upon all of them the
magistrates keep a watchful eye
for graft. The most widespread

booze racket, but the framing of
prostitutes is by no means the least,

TELEV|S|ON DEVICE.
NOT YET PERFECTED
Engineers Believe Idea for
Receiver NestIes in Great
Inventors Brain.

NEW YORK P.-The idea for the
ultimate television receiver still is
nesting in the brain of some great in
ventor or experimenter.
Although engineers feel that ap-
paratus today gives fair results, it is
not the automatic type that will pro-
duce the best in pictures by radio.
Despite obstacles to be overcome,
they do not hesitate to predict that
the problem will be licked some day,
but will not forecast when that will be-
Tackling the situation from all
angles, scientists in the R. C. A.
laboratories at Camden, N. j., have
tried practically every known system.
The work goes on undated, the goal
sought not yet in sight.
Two basic methods have developed
many experiments there. These in
volve the use Of a scanning disk or a
scanning drum, and a kinescope or
special cathode ray tube, a develop
ment of DR.. Vladimir zworykin.
The scanning fi1echanisnns, driven
by motors, In effect break up the pic
ture into an assembly Of tiny dots
and also give the eye the impression
OF moving picture, although each
picture actually consists Of thousands
OF rapidly replaced elements.
Scanning disks with small holes
have been tried Other disks had tiny
lenses In larger holes. Various types
Of drums, which resemble short sec
lions OF large pipes, also containing
holes or lences, have been tested. The
holes generally are arranged in a
spiral, the number determining the
detail. Mirrors likewise have been in
serted in the drums to give larger
pictures.
The kinescope, a cone-shaped tube,
develops a picture on q fuorescent
screen in the large end, which is fat.
It contains what Is known as an cleo
tron gun, which paints or reproduces
picture tinted green. 1t requires no
mechanical scanner.
other schemes of illumination have
included different sources of light.
Various types Of neon or glow tubes
have been given tests.
One important item has been the
Moore crater lamp, which instead of
having glowing plate, as in most
neon tubes, has q pin-point light
source, providing a stronger ray and
q larger, brighter picture. The neon
picture is pink.
Reproduction Of television on a large
screen, such as demonstrated last
Spring at Schenectady by DR.. E. F. w.
Alexanderson. also has been paid close
attention along with the DEVELOPMENT
work on television for the home.
Apparatus has been assembled in
various ways, from the engineers bench
set-up to completely designed equip
ment as 1t might look in the homes
In the future. None of it, however,
has met all Of the rigid tests that
engineers feel it must pass.
Handicapped on so many sides, the
engineers are working on, believing
that within at least five years, and
hoping 1t may be sooner, television may
be on a par with the national service
Of sound radio Of the present.
Still they do not hesitate to point
out that for the amateur and the ex-
perimenter, here is a field that offers
tnnumerable opportunities for develop
ment.

COMMISSION REJECTS
..REALLOCATION MOVE
Proposal for Brcadcasting Would
Have Change-Dialing Of
American Listeners.

Another sweeping reallocation Of
broadcasting stations-one which would
have again changed the dialing habits
Of American radio listeners everywhere
was averted when majority Of the
Federal Radio Commission last week
rejected a proposal of Judge z. o.
Sykes, commissioner from the third zone
Of Southern States, to amend the 1928
ALLEGATION order to permit duplicated
operation on virtually all wave lengths
under q plan permitting closer geo.
graphical separations between stations.
Judge Ira z. Robinson, former chair
man, voted with Judge Sykes on the
plan, which, according to Judge Sykes,
was designed TO bring about more
eQualized zone and State division OF
broadcaSting facilities. Hardly q sta
tion In the country would have been un-
affected had the scheme gone through,
but it was voted down by Commission
eTs Saltzman, Lafount and Starbuck.
The use of practically all the present
cleared channels would have been dupli-
Gated by two or more stations under the
Sykes plan. Though 20 channels would
have been reserved, as 40 are now. for
stations Of 5000 to 5O,0o watts power,
two or more such stations would have
been placed on the same channel II
II 10 kiocycles apart, the separation
would be 900 miles; II 20 kilocycles, $50
miles, and II 80 kilocycles, $50 miles.
On the 20 other channels now cleared
for nocturnal use by only one station at
o. time, the simultaneous operation of
not more than three nor less than two
stations with maximum powers OF 10000
watts would be permitted, their separa-
ton to be 1900 miles from one another
when on the same frequency, 400 miles
when 10 kilocycles apart, 200 miles when
20 kilocycles apart, and $50 miles when
so knocycles apart.
The present mileage separations of
stations in the lower power ranges also
was narrowed down. while provision was
made that each zone should have the
same number of stations and equal
power The majority overruled the
scheme as technically ineXpedient be-
cause Of the interference possibilities
and the widespread confusion it would
occasion in present broadcasting prac-
tice and in the habits of American lis
teners Nevertheless, Judge Sykes will
undoubtedly press some Of his points in
order to obtain compromise with the
majority when the whole problem Of
high power on the cleared channels Is
taken up.
Commissioner Starbuck Is understood
70 be prepared to advance a proposal
20 set aside one cleared channel in each
zone for duplicated operation. This
would leave IS channels free for high
power assignments TO the numerous APP
-plicants now being heard by the COM
mission on their requests for power Of
$4,000 watts.
