Tape Eliminated.
BY the Associated Press.


LURAY, Va, August 30.--President
Hoover today asked Post ONCE and
Treasury officials to hurry slong public
building projects now under way and
to finish as soon as practicable $50 sur.
yeys proceeding under the 11-year con.
struction program. His request was
made with view to improving EN-.
ployment conditions and was similar to
a decision to speed up flood control
work made at conference at his lodge
near here last week.

rotary Of the Treasury, and John w.
Philip, Assistant Postmaster General, In
charge Of building projects in their re.
spective departments Mr.. Hoover dis.
eussed the status of the $673,o0 900
10-year program initiated two years
ago and found it could be fastened
considerably by eliminating red tape.
Hoover Orders Short Cuts.
Although the Government is far
ahead OF the SAT ,000, 900 original an.
nual expenditure planned for construC-.
ton in and out of the National Capital,
Mr.. Hoover was understood to have In.
formed the two officials to take as
many short cuts as possible.
BY such action he hopes the Federal
Government will set an example for
States, municipalities and individual
builders to follow.
Mr.. Hoover also made it plain that
extensive leasing of buildings through
out the country has been and will con-
tinue to be regarded by him as a waste
of public money. 10 put the Govern.
ment in its own quarters as far as
feasible was said to be one of his chief
ambitions
In line with this policy. it was said,
the Post ONCE Department is terminal.

rapidly as possible and is looking fol-.

be entered into.

Mass May Day Strike
Is Workers Answer

(Continued from Page One)
Walker tools of Wall Street are
planning to railroad 70 jail begin
ming at the trial tomorrow.
Morgan and Rockefeller are
planning a feast for Whalen,
clubber of the unemployed, for
May 6th," said Minor. This is
the bosses provocation and in
struction to Whalen to attempt to
smash the tremendous May LIST
demonstrations that are being
planned by the workers.
THE workers will answer with
a strike in the shops and mills.
What is the answer of the bosses
to the demand of the 100000 un-
employed for Work or Wages?'
Clubbings of the jobless who refuse
to starve, and prison for the unem-
ployed committee, and wage-cuts
for the employed. A mass political
strike of the workers. in scores of
thousands on May Day will be the
answer of the workers to the jail
ings of the Unemployed Committee
and to the bosses brutal attacks"
The meeting was opened by Rich
ard B. Moore, chairman. "The
workers gave their answer to
Whalen and the fascists at the May
Day Conference. A thousand more
at the next May Day Conference
will stress this answer by prepar-
ing the greatest May Day demon
stration ever held in this city"
"The young workers will be in the
forefront, with the vanguard in this
struggle against capitalism on May
Day." said R. Shohan, district Or
ganizer of the Young Communist
League.
1.-THE delegation of the unem-
ployed, and Harry Eisman, who is
sentenced to five-year Jail term
for his participation in the March
9Th demonstration, must be freed!"
Other speakers were Alexander,
of the Gastonia labor jury, who
spoke on the labor jury which will
sit in the trial of the Unemployed
Delegation. He pointed out the
similarity of the bosses action in
Gastonia and the Whalen-W Walker
machines railroading the commit
tee of five to Jail. Sadie Van Veen
spoke on growing fascism in the
United States, which indicated that
the workers were becoming more
militant and radicalized.

FEDERAL LIAR
IN newark TRIAL
Judge, Fascist, Cops
All for Horthy

NEWARK, N. j., April 9.-Nine

and hatred of the workers for Ad-
miral Horthy's bloody fascist rule
into the faces of his supporters

militarist and propaganda flye,
using the assumed name of Mag
yar," came into court here yesterday
for the second day of their trial.
Monday the Hungarian fascist
ran out of liars and got one day
postponement. Yesterday the
editor of the Horthy paper, Bro, Of
Newark, appeared as chief per-
jurer and had some friends to help
him. Their evidence was smashed
by the cross-eXamination of the at
torney for the international Labor
Defense. One of them got so con-
fused that he began to tell the
truth and admitted that he dubbed
defendant, Peter Moore, on the
head. Moore was released.
U. S. Steps In.
Seeing how badly the case was
going, an immigration inspector, in
the company of the Newark police
chief, interviewed the defendants
during the noon recess.
Then, in the afternoon, this in
spector came on and brazenly lice
about the interview, saying that
all the defendants had admitted
coming to Newark to start a riot.
He asked that all be held on at
least $4,000 bond.
Each of the nine defendants took
the stand and exposed this testi-
mony, stating that they told the
inspector they came to raise their
voices against the glorification Of
a fascist flier.
Judge Shows Prejudice.

Circus Has M0nv Nem
Features on Exhibition

Madison Square Garden took on
a new lease of life yesterday after
noon, with the opening of the cir
Gus, which rolled in with its large
number of entertainers, for three
weeks engagement, with shows
twice daily.
Many of the old acts, popular
with the visitors of past seasons,
are back again this year. Lillian
Leitzel, well known aerial artist, is
here again in a thrilling act. The
Wallendas, noted for their wire
walking act, do a hair-raising stunt
some fifty feet above the ground
Zacchini, the man who is shot from
a cannon, is back at his old tricks
and succeeds in mystifying the on
lockers with his marvellous nerve
shattering stunt. Con Colleano,
who does a wire-walking act all by
his lonesome, will be recalled by
the visitors of the circus in past
seasons. These are but a few we
can mention here-space will not
permit more-of the thrills in store
for the youngsters-age six to six
ty-who will drop in at the Garden
this season. We must not forget,
however, the large number of
clowns, girls, horsemen, etc. And
we almost forgot to mention the
animals-the Garden is filled with
'em. And Goliath End is one of the
features in the zoo.
