PRATT CALLS
FOR BASH"
FIGHT ONUSSR
Follows Similar State
ment Made by
Wilbur
Workers to Answer
ge Demonstration
in NY. Thursday

NEW YORK.-The war plot moves
forward against the Soviet Union.
It's frankest expression and the most
official since Secretary of the In
terror Wilbur's careful announcement
month ago that the Soviet and
capitalist differences must be solved
by a fundamental struggle came
from Admiral Pratt Friday.
The capitalist press comment on
Pratt's declaration is as follows:
There could be no hope for lasting
world peace as long as one group ex-
lists which changes its government by
revolution, and another group exists
that believes in war, revolution, or
any means, fair or foul, to spread its
own conception of social order
throughout the world.
The admirals description exactly
fits American imperialism, looting
now on worldwide scale, and de-
termined to set up on pinnacle OF
bayonets its "own conception Of So
cial order" that is, capitalist mas
terry over slave populations. But the
admiral made it clear that he was
referring to (slandering and threat
ening) the Soviet Union.
An Administration Statement.
Admiral William " Pratt is Chief
of Naval Operations, practically head
of the U. S. navy. His speech was
read for him by Captain Arthur
Eberle, chief of staff of the First
Naval District, very important Of
flee, also. 1t was read in Boston to
the Institute of International Prob
lens of the United States. Such q
formal statement, delivered under
such circumstances, is by navy rules,
never under any circumstances issued
unless it is the policy Of the national
administration, and has previously
been approved by the responsible
cabinet officer, or his master, the
president. This statement is espe-
cially significant, following, as it does.
on the heels of an almost similar
statement by Secretary of the In
terror Wilbur.
Wilbur's Attack.
Secretary of the Interior Wilbur
stated in a speech on October 8:
"One of the great peoples of the
earth is deliberately trying to work
out large-scale social and economic
programs for the mastery of its vast
terrain along new and untried lines.
Out economic and political philoso-
phies inevitably must wage a gigan-
tic and fundamental struggle with
theirs"
This open war menace is obviously
dictated by the expressed fear of the
capitalist rulers of the United States
and other imperialist countries that
the U. S. S. r. will be made irnpreg-
nable by the success of the Five Year
Plan, and that when the oppressed
wage-cut, unemployed masses of the
capitalist countries see the tremen-
dous advance of the workers in the
Soviet Union, they will demand such
a system for themselves.
Against the war program of the
bosses the workers must mobilize ano
fight! The next round is the New

Hampsbire, Massachusetts, Penn

Hampshire, Massachusetts, Penn sylvania, Delaware, Ohio, Illinois. Montana, Oregon and Michigan are the states where prohibition Is in- volved with both sides represented in the campaign. In Iowa, Nebras- ka and Idaho the position of one or more of the candidates is not definite. In Wyoming all candidates are pledged to stand by the results Of a state referendum on prohibition as is the republican candidate in Rhode Island.
 Dry Side Most Popular
 Throughout the country the dry side of the prohibition argument is by far the most popular position for candidates to take. A total of APO the senate have declared themselves for prohibition. Compared to that number, 163 candidates for congress and Is for the senate have endorsed the anti-prohibition cause. Most candidates have taken d definite position OH the 5lduu, Ollly 100 CdH- didates for congress being in doubt. A number of those in doubt repre- sent minor political groups without hope of victory. There are only 25 congressional districts where the po- sition of one of more candidates Is not known and in every state ex- cept wyoming one or more sena- torial candidates have gone on rec ord with regard to the liquor issue.
 The last important division in congress on question involving prohibition in which a roll call was taken, was the passage of the Jones law setting severe penalties for vio- lating the prohibition law. On that roll call 2S4 voted with the drys in the house. 90 voted with the vets and 54 did not vote. To muster an equal strength in the next congress the prohibition forces need win but 7S seats beyond those which they win without a struggle.

Aggressive Minority" Is About All Repeal and Modification Group Can Hope For - Must Win -172 Seats to Hold Reins.

-New York, Oct. Is (UP)-Despite all of the agitation of recent months on the subject of prohibition, there isl little prospect of the next con- gress containing more than an "ag- gressive minority of vets, unless considerable number change their stand after election.
 "A canvass of the situation made by the United Press covering every congressional district and every sehatorial contest in the country, indicates that dry forces will go into the election with 2O6 congress sional districts and 17 senatorial seats already won.
 To obtain a majority of known and avowed drys in the house they need to elect but 12 more dry con- gressmen. For the vets to obtain a similar majority they must win 172 seats in the contested districts.
 s4 Drys Unopposed
 'Ninety-four avowed dry candi- dates for congress are without op- position at the November elections, Aarge proportion of these being in the southern states. The dry forces can add to these 112 seats which are contested but with all of the candidates pledged to the dry cause. That assures the drys 2O6 seats al- ready when the count of ballots begins
 Vets have 12 candidates for the house who will be elected without opposition. Louisiana contributes three of these and California four.

Two Communists Berate Hurley
 After Oklahoma Speech

Oklahoma City, Okla. Oct. 16 R Two admitted members of the in- ternational communists, J. I. Whid- den and R. T. Pierce, faced ar- raignment in justice court here to- day on riot charges growing out of alleged insults shouted at Patrick J.. Hurley, secretary of war, as the cab- met member boarded an automobile after an address here yesterday.
 The men, alleged ring leaders of the communist demonstration which was prevented from reaching serious proportions by the quick work of policemen, also faced police court charges of disorderly conduct and peace disturbance. They were held in the city jail overnight.

 Unruffled by the incident, Secre- tary Hurley filled appointments in Fort Worth and Oklahoma City, ending a busy days program here last night at dinner given in his IOuOE Dy JOllu D. NlCUOiS, SulChd- sha oil man, with special speech in which he defended the program of President Hoover.
 Only invited guests including per- sonal friends of the war secretary attended the dinner.
 Criticizes Politicians

Drys Still Likely to Rule Congress
 : When Election Battles Are Over; : Canvass Shows Vets Total Small

Wisconsin has two and Pennsyl- vania, South Carolina and Illinois one each. In 34 other districts all candidates are wet. Six of these are in Connecticut, five in Illinois, five in Wisconsin and the others are scattered among New York. New Jersey. Massachusetts, Maryland. Ohio. Washington, Nebraska, Mis- souri. Michigan and Minnesota. Added together the vets go into the election with 46 seats in the house of representatives already won.
 In the senate, where 34 seats are being filled. the vets have only two districts where their victory already is won. In New Jersey Dwight w. Morrow, republican. and Alexander Simpson, democrat, both are in favor of repeal of the prohibition law. It is the only state where all senatorial candidates are "wets." Huey P. Long of Louisiana, is the only wet without opposition of any kind for the senate.
 Four Drys Running
 The dry forces, on the other hand have four unopposed candidates for the senate. They are. incidentally, all democrats, heinz Harris of Geor- gia, Robinson of Arkansas, Harrison of Mississippi, and Byrnes of South Carolina. In 12 other states which will elect total of 13 senators, all candidates are dry. Those states are Virginia. North Carolina, Kentucky, Tennessee, West Virginia, Alabama, South Dakota, Kansas (which elects two senators), Oklahoma, Texas, Colorado and New Mexico
 In nine sttaes there is a contest over prohibition involved in the senatorial campaigns, although it varies in intensity from sharp divi- sion in Massachusetts and Pennsyl- vania and Delaware down to a rather one-sided contest in Oregon, where only minor candidates are vet, the democratic and republican candidates both being dry.

Radio Concern to Experiment
 With All Possibilities

New York, Oct. 1S R-Complete investigation of the broadcast possi- bilities of television is planned this winter by the Columbia broadcasting system.
 It was learned today that the recent application by the chain to the federal radio commission for a short wave experimental license to operate a television transmitter had back of it determination to ascer- tain from a practical standpoint just how soon the art of radio sight might be incorporated with sound broadcasting on a possible network basis.
 While no CBS official would com- ment, 1t was understood the plans for television work probably will in- clude the installation of the short wave transmitter in the building where the chains sound studios are located, with the antenna atop the 22-story building.
 The plans also are said to em- brace the setting up of the latest type apparatus, with leading tele- vision engineers cooperating. A special staff of CBS technical men Is to be recruited for the work, which also is to involve reception tests in all parts of the metropolitan area.
 In addition to the technical end, the studio part of sight broadcasting Is to be gone into thoroughly in a special studio where artists can go before the televislon camera and learn the technique to be used in television acting and makup.

FAIRFAX, Va, March S.
Prominent citizens of this COM
munity are sponsoring a move
ment to induce the State to chose
the Willard estate at the edge of
town as the site of it's proposed
university for women.
The property which was owned
by the late Railroad Magnate
Joseph E. Willard, who was am
bassador to Spain under Presi-
dent Wilson, comprises about 100
acres.
It is handsomely handicapped
and is considered one of the
show places of northern Virginia.
Residents of Fairfax who are
working for the State college
claim the general advantages of
this site, particularly it's prox-
unity to Washington, and it's rural
charm are unsurpassed by any
college site in Virginia.

LAND CONTROL
BY j. s.

SILVER SPRING, Md, March
6.-Montgomery county will disre
gard the Cramton bill, creating a
Federal parkway around the Dis
trict. as the measure proposes to
develop the new parks in this
county.
This was indicated today follow.
ing a meeting yesterday Of mem
bers of the Maryland-N National
Capital Park and Planning Com
mission from Montgomery and
Prince George counties.
Under the plan tentatively
adopted, the Maryland-National
Capital Park and Planning Com
mission would Immediately pre-.
pare plans for creation Of parks
in the areas in Montgomery
county now covered by the Cram
ton bill.
States Pay Portion
The Cramton bill provides for
development of the park with the
States paying portion OF the
cost. Under this plan control OF
the parks would be vested in the
Federal Government.
This latter feature has met
with strenuous opposition in
Montgomery county, particularly
from E. Brooke Lee, Democratic
leader of the county, who scents
in it the opening wedge for ulti-
mate annexation of Montgomery
county by the District of Co
lumbia.
Lee and other citizens Of this
section conferred with Cramton
some time ago and urged the
Michigan Representative to use
his influence to have the objec-
tionable features eliminated from
the bill before it passes the Sen
ate.
Cramton indicated he. and the
Montgomery county delegation
were in agreement. He did not
say, however, the Federal.control
provision would be eliminated
from the bill.
Given Commission
The tentative plan adopted at
yesterdays meeting will be sub.
mitted to the full park and plan
ming commission at it's meeting
tonight and will not become eff.
fective unless approved by the
commission.
Robert E. Hagner, of Bethesda;
H. Edison. and Charles v. Lat
inner. of Takoma Park, have been
Tentatively selected to negotiate
with owners of the land on which
! the proposed parks are to be
created. Hagner will be in charge
