SCIENTISTS In
USSR PLEDGE AID
TO5-YEAR PLAN
Denounce 8 Guilty of
War Plot

MOSCOW. 80 The Association Of
Scientists and Technicians has pub
lished a long declaration against the
sabotagers and in favor of the So
cialist constructive work. The dec
laration has been signed by many
famous Soviet men Of science, in
Guiding Professor Bach, Professor
Yarilov, Professor SavadoYski, Pro-
fessor Bushinski, Professor Abrikoss
SOW Professor Vavilov, Professor Pa
vadin, Professor Keller and Professor
Tulaikoy, -...
The declaration stresses with all
energy that the wreczers who were
found guilty of espionage and nigh
treason are not representative CT So
Wet men of science and industry.
On the contrary, the overwhelming
majority of scientists and technicans
have long ago recognized that the
Soviet Union is the only country in
the world where completely free and
satisfactory scientific work can be
carried out.
The declaration points out that the
scientists and technicans are COM
pletely at one with the working class
in its efforts to build up a new
world, and they demanded capital
punishment for the counter-revolu-
tionaries who Strived to destroy the
Soviet Union with the assistance of
foreign bayonets. The declaration
concludes by saying that when the
workers of the Soviet Union are
again compelled to take up arms to
defend their socialist Fatherland,
then the scientists and technicians
will be with them in the front ranks
Of the struggle against the inter-
Vention.

Chang Kai .Shek Is
Getting Worried

SHANGHAI. - The revolutionary
troops are consolidating their gains
in the province of Human and Chang
sha is practically eneircled. The
bourgeoisie and official elements are
hurriedly leaving the town. Business
firms in Hankow refuse to carry out
orders in the province Of Human.
1.-THE China Post" reports that the
situation in the province is considered
to be so serious that Chang Kali
shek himself intends to take over the
leadership of the military operations
against the revolutionary troops.
On December II, a Soviet Congress
will be held which will S2ke up
many of the problems now facing the
rapidly growing Soviet territories.
Despite the repeated shipment of
Chang Kat Shek's troops into many
provinces in which the Red Army
operates, a whole series of towns
have been taken. Near Changsha
one section of the Nationalist Army,
after a short encounter with the Red
Army, fled.

the conclusion of the trial at 12:1C
this morning. When the sentence
was read condemning the 5 wreck
ers Ramsin, Larichev, Kalinikov
Charnovsky and Fedotov to death
and three, Kuprianov, Otchkin, anc
Sitnin, to ten years Imprisonment,
the eloquent testimony of the feel
ings of the Soviet Masses regard
ing this epochmaking trial broke
loose.
TIL crowd of workers had waited
in orderly fashion for six hours in
great white columned hall, the
House of Trade Unions, also thou
sands who were outside cheered
when the judges arrived.
Reading the sentence the pre-
siding judge, Vishinsky, occupied
80 minutes speaking with impress
sive simplicity. Today the Moscow
workers are everywhere discussing
the sentence voicing their whole
hearted approval.
Throughout the trial workers all
over the Soviet Union applied adj
mission into the Party and pledged
greater efforts to support the five
year plan as an answer to the coun-
ter-revolutionary wreckers and i'm
perialist masters.
The confidence of the masses in
the line and leadership of the party
was never so great, as the trial
revealed in graphic fashion the ter
rible precipice to which the right
wing line would have led, objective
ly playing into the hands of the
wreckers. The Soviet workers are
under no illusions, however, that
the liquidation of the inner coun-
ter revolution means the liquida-
ton of the intervention danger.
On the contrary, they realize on
ly too well that the danger of an
Intervention is greatly increased,

EAGLE PENCIL CO.
BOSS REFUSED AID
TOASICk WORKER
Worker Had Paid In
Fund 8 Years
tBy a worker COrrespondentl

NEW YORK.-Several years ago
an italian worker named Ancello,
worked for the Eagle Pencil Company
pushing truck between depart
ments. For three years he had paid
fifteen cents a week into the company
fake sick benefit fund. Then he took
sick.
He doubled up with collie which the
doctor thought was lead poisoning.
But when the case came up in the
compensation court the company
proved that there was no lead in the
pencils they made only graphite
- so the case was lost.
Refused Benefit Money
Then Ancello applied for his six
dollars week sick benefit to which
he was entitled. All he got was a let
ter from Lord" Berolzheimer, the
millionaire owner of the works, and
city chamberlain at that time, say
Ing he was sorry, but as Ancello was
behind in three payments CAS- cents)
nc had lost his right to sick benefit.
Now it happened that the last time
Ancello tried to pay his benefit the
foreman had no change and told him
to "let it CO." Perhaps he knew that
Ancello was sick and that was a reg
ular racket. At any rate Millionaire
Berolzheimer cheated a sick worker
out of his six dollars week benefit
after he had worked for him for 3
years, because he was forty-five cents
behind in his payments. And because
this worker complained and did not
take it lying down, he got fired in
the bargain.

Tell of Woman Who
Killed Dog to Get
Food to Exist On
CRy a worker Corregpondentl

CLEVELAND, Ohio.-We noticed
the article in the Daily about the
family in Indiana who had to kill
their dog in order to keep from starv-
ing. This unbelievable story proved
itself to be true right here in Cleve-
land. a story was told by the priest
of the Boulevard Christian Church
on the West Side in Cleveland in his
Sunday morning sermon: A man
went to woman's house to shut off
the gas. She had not paid her bill
for a long time and the Gas Com
pany sent out the man to turn off
the gas. She pleaded with the man
not to turn off the gas. He said he
was given orders to do it and he had
to. Again she pleaded-just let it
on a few minutes more. I want to
finish this meat. There was a pot
full of meat cooking on the stove.
However the man bent on fulfilling
his task asked rather surprised: How
come you have money for meat and
you don't have money to pay your
gas bill?
The woman turned half pathetical-
ly and told the bill collector that he
could go in her back yard and he
would find the skin Of their dog!
They had killed their dog as last
resort and were going to have a
square meal for a change!
Even the well fed priest could not
refrain from telling this pitiful story.
1t will make the priests pray louder;
but it must make the workers fight
harder for workers social insurance.

7 ToYLAKE. England. June IA
- viii Bobby Jones win the
British open too2"
That Is the question all my
friends have been asking me ever since
got back from st. Andrews, until I
have felt inclined to answer them
rather snappishly.
In fact, the answer I make IS that
I do not know, because I do not know
what is going on inside Jones mind,
but that If he really and truly wants
very much to win 1t think he will.
After he had won at st. Andrews
there must have come, as I fancy, a
reaction. He had done the one thing
he had set out to do to round of his
career and probably nothing else seemed
to matter. Since then, however, he
has had some peace and quiet and that
makes such a difference.
He may well be saying to himself
now that it would be good fun to win
both the amateur and the open IN one
year-a feat that has only once been
accomplished hereby John Ball just
40 years ago. If that fresh ambition
awakes in his breast, then what is
going to stop him?
Better Chance in Open.
OF course, he may not win, but to my
mind he has a. much better chance of
winning the open than he had of win
ming the amateur, and Hoylake should
be Just the place for him to do it.
/ should say our two chief hopes are
Compston and Cotton, although 1t Is
most unlucky that Cotton went down
with influenza. However, he has been
having rest at Cornwall and will,
I hope, be At again. He has been in
fine form this Spring and beat Horton
Smith in a 36-hole match the other
