No doubt william Randolph Hearst DON'T Mlaas
1t, but there is Communist Party nucleus IN
the Hearst publications organization In Neg
York. Furthermore, 1t strives to do It's duty hw

We said Strives" because the comrades I'm

The comrades thought that was all right. Rsss
from somewhere in the superior apparatus shove
their humble nucleus, there came criticism. They
were and still are glad to get criticism And noeG
of what they got was acceptable But sheW
halted at the following:
S'When you give the reason why the wuxassy
should support the Communist press, yoR Mm&@

The comrades don't know whether the seos

manded that they lose sight" of what Lentr
said. But they are OF the opinion that soenes

nucleus and aid the press Of the working class
