BULLET-RIDDLED CAR
IS FOUND ABANDONED
Man Renting Garage Discovers
Auto Pierced by Shots and With
Windows Shattered.

bullet-riddled automobile was found
yesterday in a supposedly empty garage
in the rear of 1905 Morrison street.
The discovery was made by man
who rented the garage from Its owner
and went there to park his car.
He notified fourteenth precinct police,
who took possession OF the machine
and began an investigation.
The automobile bears 1929 Maryland
license plates. There is bullet hole
In the top and both back-seat windows
are shattered.
Residents OF the neighborhood told
police two colored men drove the car
into the garage about a month ago.
The neighbors thought nothing OF 1t,
they said, because they assumed the
man had rented the garage. When
they did not see the machine again,
they added, they concluded the garage
still was unoccupied and that the
strangers had been sent there by its
owner.
Police believe the automobile may
have been used by bootleggers.

Special Dist. Pages Once q Week Will Lay.
Basis for Solid Circulation IN Campaign

District pages are not only the latest incent-
i've toward reaching the $4,000 mark in the Cir
culaton drive of the Daily Worker, but will be-
come the kernel of mass circulation turnout the
country. A special district page every week, de-
voted to local news of interest to workers. in
creases the effectiveness of the paper in that
particular section and develops contact for per-
manert circulation.
Two districts have already taken the initiative
in oroering these special pages: After Feb. 10,
Chicago, every Wednesday, win have four coll
un1ns on the second page for its own news, pic
lures and advertisements Philadelphia, the sec
ond to fall in line, ordered its first page last
Monday and has selected every Thursday for its
special issue. Such districts as California, Seat
tie, Minneapolis. Detroit. Cleveland and Pitts
burgh must participate in ordering district pages
Later this will lay the basis for special editions
when districts will order special pages every day.
These possibilities when developed will put
tremendous, impetus into the drive until the goal
for $4,000 Daily Worker readers is attained.
The offer to districts is four columns of space
on the second page every week on condition that
districts order at least 1000 copies Of that ISSUE
So per thousand to be paid in advance All copy
must be in three days in advance. of the date Of
ISSUE For a Friday paper, material must be in
by Tuesday.
Circulation figures in this weeks tables do
not reflect these district editions. Philadelphia
really started this week with a special order
of $4,000 of Mondays paper. The coming week
will reflect increases in Chicago, which gets
its special page on Friday. THE CIRCULA-
TION GAINED BY SPECIAL DISTRICT
PAGES is THE BEST POSSIBLE CIRCU-
LATION BECAUSE THE PAPER is MADE
MORE READABLE TO WORKERS WHO RE-
CEIVE 1T IN THAT LOCALITY.
