tive authoritative story Of events
leading up to the brutal attack.
Charles Coder is a native of Waco,
Texas, and Lewis Hurst is from May,
Texas.
Coder had been in San Antonio,
taking part in organization work, and
proceeded to Dallas before the time
Of the Feb. 10 demonstration. which
he helped organize.
Hurst was sent originally to Dalla.
b ythe Communist Party district Of
flee at Kansas City, and organized
for the Party and the Young Com
munist League.
Both were arrested at the demon
stration of 5000 jobless on Feb. 10.
They were released shortly after
wards, and prepared the Feb. IS dem
onstration. This demonstration was
smashed, and Hurst, along with
some 20 others, arrested.
Coder was kidnapped on the 18th.
They were brought to trial, and de-
Tended by Edwards who volunteered
and took no pay for his services, in
such an unfair court that merely for
protesting the outrageous railroading
tactics of the judge, Edwards was
fined seven times and sentenced to
10 vim ia;I xyL,jaJa I1n ~m~x,aA rsat,
%. The two workers were released
on bail, during appeal of their case.
Then on Wednesday, March 4,
Coder was arrested, flung in Jail, and
after midnight, Thursday morning,
beaten up by the planted prize fight
er, Holland, and some other stool
pigeons, through the fake kangaroo
court" Hurst was arrested shortly
afterwards for speaking at a street
gathering in protest against the
brutal tactics of the police on Feb.

self beaten up.
Edwards was not at this time in
jail, as previous reports indicated.
He came to the Jail late Thursday
evening to try to get the two re-
leased. The police told him that
they would be released if they left
town. 1t is not to be presumed that
either Coder or Hurst promised any
thing of the sort, but suddenly the
police threw them out of Jail. Just
as little gang of men, variously
estimated as IL or IA, appeared on
the steps. They we're armed and
seized Coder and Hurst and Ed
wards, and loaded them into sedan
cars. There is evidence to show that
these men had met with the police
earlier. Eye witnesses recognized the
prize fighter Holland among them.
Edwards had rushed to the, jail
without telling anybody where he
was kidnapped, or a little later, his
17-year old son came down to make
inquiries. The police told him that
his father would not be injured.
Edwards was indeed released at the
city limits.
On March 9 the Dallas Dispatch
carried the story Of the reporter
Edward Barr, telling how, without
givin gany source for his news, he
had learned Coder and Hurst were
taken into the. country near Hutch
ms, flogged horribly, and Coder, at
last, thrown into Cooks Branch.
Barr, later, before Judge Adams
admitted that he got this inforrna-
ton from Norman Register, secret
airy to District Attorney MeCrew.

Under these circumstances the
Soviet Union. whilst continuing its
struggle for the maintenance of
peace, may not relax it's efforts to
increase it's defensive capacities.
Within the general framework of the
struggle for the building up of So
cialism, the fighting capacities of the
Red Army must be consolidated and
the greatest attention paid to the
question of defense. The military
technique of the Red Army is still
behind that of the great imperialist
powers, but by no means behind
that of those countries which will in
all probability be it's immediate an
tagonists. The working masses must
use the methods of socialist competi-
ton and the shock group movement
to the full in the work for the de-
velopment of the defensive capaci-
ties of the country. The quality of
the military and political training of
the Red Army, must be raised.
The international proletariat. which
feels itself at one with the Red
workers and peasants army. will sup
port it in its struggle against i'm
perialism and for the defense of the
Soviet Union.

which Is of brick and steel con- struction, is 1000 feet long by 200 feet wide giving a clear exhibition area of 100000 square fet. It is so arranged that exhibitors of air craft may fly their products to the field and roll them into the display space with minimum of effort and expense. Ceilings and girders are of such height to leave suffi- cient clear space for decoration and, with an airport of ample size immediately adjacent, the much desired opportunity of demonstra- ton is instantly available. In the past 1t has ben shown that this last feature Is exceedingly valuable from the standpoint of the manu- facturer.
 In addition to having successful ly managed four major aircrafts shows during the past four years, MT Cooper has had other experi- ence which blends into this. work. He was in charge of the National Air tours of 1927 and 1928. the latter of which was the longest ever held both in point of distance covered and time consumed. He was also the directing head of the All-Americap Flying Derby, held in July of 1890 which Is generally recognized as the most sensational long distance competitive race over held. This event was con- fined to ships with motors of lees than 125 horsepower and resulted in the development of little ships of great speed. The winner, 1t will be remembered, averaged 127 miles per hour over course of 5,541 miles and which included New York on the East, Houston, Texas on the south. Los Angeles on the west and Detroit on the north. During the month of Octo- Der. MT Cooper was in New York where he served as manager of the Four Field Flying show, staged simultaneously at four Long Island airports on October 17-18, the revenue from which went to the $12.o00.000 fund being raised to

 standing impressions-first, New ington's ability to respond to the

 of this demand, or perhaps be-
 cause of it, our determination not

tered with empty liquor bottles. A wild party had evidently preceded the arrival of the police and was responsible for numerous com plaints regarding the conduct of the frequenters. Spil1ane, how ever, was the only person taken in to custody.
 The character of the place is far from being similar to that of alleged coffee houses in Waterbury Its frequenters have not the repu- tation for being muscle or gun mem. They are more interested in obtaining liquor and making whoopee in riotous way. Their singing and shouting, however, has failed to register with neighbors and the police have received num- erous complaints.
 The task of raiding the place was turned over to Patrolmen Daniel J. Carson, Patrick Moylan and Fred Hickey of the emergency squad. They seized about a gallon of liquor and made a report as to the disorderly appearance of moi only the house, but the frequent CTS. To compel its owner to close up the place Judge Meyer gave Spillane a fine of $100 and threat ened him with jail on his next ap- pearance. After considering things the accused gave notice of appeal to @ higher court.

 The group of Adams Ale Apos- ties is known officially as the So- ciety ofth Blue Cross. and total abstinence is the one rigid rule of the organization. Even though Rouen is the capital of cider" the initial banquet of the society remained tee-totally dry even from such semi-intoxicants. Following the banquet, a "dry parade" was held. It proved a dry day for Rouen, with dry tracts distributed to the inhabitants, dry speeches delivered from prominent gathering places, and even the weather, usually in a torrential downpour. remained dry through the entire festivities.
 The French prohibitionists diff fer from others o fthe order in that they wish to dry the entire world. not by law. but by total self-abstinence and self-controi, voluntarily exercised.
 The Dry Congress is making a special and personal apepal to the youth of France, urging upon their minds the horrors of the greatest of all assassins alcoholism. However, with the virtues Of French wines being taught in pub lie schools of France, the Water Drinkers Union is bucking heavy

 This exhibition of aircraft and accessories, which is staged an- nually in some city of the United States, bears the same relation 10 aeronautics that the annual New York Automobile show does to the manufacture and sale of autOmo- piles.
