Steel common lowered around its

industrial leaders were moving in

was hammered down, losing 22l

LOS ANGELES. Jan. Ga sudden
rainstorm, borne on a fifty-mile
gale. failed today to daunt the
spirits of two girl aviators seeking
to set a new refueling plane record
for women that will stand for all
time.
The two f1iers equalled the worlds
endurance refueling record for Wom-
en- fliers when they still were aloft
at 8:46 a. m. (Pacific standard tirne)
today, after 40 hours Is minutes in
the air.
The previous mark, set by Miss
Trout and Elinor Smith last sum-
mer, never officially was recognized,
but the flight now under way has
the sanction of the National Aero
nautical Association, and is timed
by an official.
Miss Trout planned to celebrate
her 25th birthday Wednesday with q
party in the tiny cockpit of the
Lady Rolph, the plane named for
the wife of CALIFORNIA; new Gov
ernor.
The girls were forced to refuel at
the height of the gale, but members
Of the ground crew said that Miss
Copper, who handled the leaking
end Of the gasoline hose, worked like
a veteran. Within ten minutes she

STATE DECISION
ON TEXT BOOKS
TO Be DELAYED
Matter Is Postponed Until
Jan. 19 After Meeting
of Commission.

With savings to school patrons
outweighing profits to publishers as
the governing factor, adoption of
Indiana school textbooks still
hung fire today. Governor Harry
G. Leslie has taken the leadership in
insisting parents interests shall
overshadow those of publishers.
After spending Monday in execu-
tive session, while the statehouse
corridors Swarmed with book sales
men, members of the state board of
education, sitting as a textbook
commission, emerged with the mat
ter postponed until Jan. 10.
This date originally had been
voted as March 81, which would
take the adoption out of the hands
Of Roy P. Wisehart, superintendent
of public instruction, who was de-
feated for reelection and retires
March Is. But with Superin-
tendent w. w. Borden { South
Bend absent from the room, the
date was switched back to Jan. 10
putting the matter again under
Wisehart's regime.
Borden was pioneer in pro-
nouncing for readoption of pres
ent texts as saving for parents
and also in opposing an attempt OF
Wisehart to have the whole mat
ter disposed of Monday.
The whole textbook matter may
be investigated by the legislature in
gathering facts for discussion Of
free textbooks bills which will be
introduced, it was reported today.

GEN. AND THOMAS.
SPEAK TOGETHER
Their Views Same on
Soviet Union

NEW YORK.-General Summerall
and Mormon Thomas appeared to-
gether at Chapel Hill before the In
stitute Of Human Relations on May
a to discuss the question of war
preparations, It is no accident that
the Rev. Thomas of the socialist
party appears on the same platform
with the retired army general who
pleads for war against the Soviet
Union and colonial peoples.
During the course Of his speech
General Summeral said: "Our only
purpose in having an army and navy
is to be able to defend ourselves in
case Of conflict with nations of diff
ferent moral values. And by moral
values I mean different standards of
justice"
That the war monger was referring
to the Soviet Union, whose moral
values" do not appeal to the ex-
ploiterS, should be clear to every
worker.
1t is against the working class
standard of justice in the Soviet
Union that General Summerall pre-
diets the use of the United States
army and navy and against which
the socialist party in the United
States and all over the world is the
staunch supporter and in many cases
the leader.
That is why no worker can be sur
prised in seeing Norman Thomas APP
pearing together with the war mon
gers Of the United States, such as
General Summerall before the In
stitute of Human Relationship, I'M
der whose cloak Of pacifism the cap
italists in the United States are pre-
pairing another world slaughter and
an attack against the Soviet Union.
More than ever before the workers
must be prepared to meet this on
slaught and attack on the Soviet
Union with the organized force of
the working class.

HUNDREDS PICKET
ALLENTOWN MILLS
But UTW Keeps Them
From Being Effective

ALLENTOWN, Pa, May 13.-There
were hundreds of pickets before the
silk mills this morning, where 1000
workers are striking against wage
cuts
The pickets we're handicapped by
the orders of the United Textile
Workers Union officials to be extra
peaceful and not to do anything that
even looks like militancy. The UTW
has also failed to put picketing on
an organized basis.
As result. some Scabs entered the
Allentown Silk, Moggio, Pyramid and
Adelaide Mills. Headquarters of the
UTW says there were about 100 going
back to work.
Some of the companies are So
Letting the strikers in their homes,
trying to get them to return.
Mcdonnell of the UTW has issued
a statement in the local papers say
ing that the wage demands made
so far by his union are not to be
taken seriously, they are Just for
negotiation" and the union is will
ing to come to an agreement that
will suit both employees and en-
ployers"
AS the National Textile Workers
Union has warned from the begin
ming. the U.TW. is seeking every
opportunity to sell out the strike and
get it over with quietly and UTW
officials will not fight for wages and
conditions for the workers if they
are only allowed to collect the dues.
The NTW again urges the strikers
to take over full rank and file con-
troll of the strike through broad
strike committee.
