FRICIDAIRE CAR
CONVEYS FRUIT

Loaded with six tons Of fruit
and other perishable foods, a Frig-
idaire equipped motor truck recent
" crossed the continent in four
days and Fl hours Of actual rum
ming time, arriving in New York
with its entire cargo in first class
condition. In the Arizona desert,
where a maximum OF lbs degrees
was encountered, the refrigerated
compartment maintained a con-
slant temperature below As degrees.
Aside from its significance in
opening a new field Of t~ransporta-
ton for motor trucks, the record
smashing run furnishes abundant
proof of the absolute dependability
of modern refrigeration equipment.
according to John NJ. Hunter, local
Frigtdaire dealer.
In its Furnishing drive across
the continent the heavily loaded
truck encountered all sorts OF
rough roads and the equipment vas
required to operate in normal fash
ion at varied attitudes and under
rapidly changing temperatures.
once this temperature actually
varied rs degrees in less than twen-
ty four hours.
Although not expected to meet
the rough usage encountered on a
1900 mile trip across the continent,
the household E--idaire Is so de-
signed that il will give even. de-
pendable refrigeration under all
conditions"
The combined length OF the truck
and trailer which made the trans
continental run was 50 feet. The
combination was incurred upon %
wheels. An auxiliary gasoline en-
CINE provided the power which
operated the refrigeration equip
ment.

Russia Will Study
Heredity in Plants

scientists who then will attempt to
make their own practical applica-
tons.
Dr. Bridges Is internationally
known for his studies which show
that the keys to hereditary traits,
to new plants and animals and
even to species locked up in the
invisible genes and the scarcely
visible. thrzao-like chromosomes
in living cells. BY breeding exper-
iments with yeast flies he has
produced such unexpected results
as a fly partly male and partly
female.
He has obtained evidence that
the differences between sexes Is a
matter Of balance, that is. whether
there is a preponderance OF male
or female gene characters.
DR.. Bridges was invited to
Russia by N. I. Vaivlov, under
secretary for agriculture and head
of the applied botany division Of
the soviet administration. Vaivlov
is in charge Of part Of the five
year program which aims to de-
velop more hardy and productive
kinds Of grain, and also entirely
new vegetables.

Poultrymen Have
Chicken Surplus
DIV staff Correspondent)

SAN BENITO, Oct. 10.-The re-
cent response to an appeal to eat
more chicken broadcast to Valley
people was marked but poultry
men Of this section still have a
surplus OF ''boarders" in their
flocks Of which they wish to dispose
according to Henry Alsmeyer, coun-
ty farm agent.
P~oultrymen are willing to Gull out
the non-layers but have not been
able to find a market for them.
For this eason Valley people r
asked not to neglect chicken in
their diet in order to help the
farmer rid his flock Of all chickens
except layers.
Prices are down and chickens are
as cheap as other meat, Alsmeyer
pointed out.

EXTENSION ON
DEBT HOLIDAY
Is UNLIKELY

WASHINGTON. Oct. 10. R-
While the American government
does not intend 70 burden European
nations beyond their ability to pay,
1t expects to demand fulfillmcnt Of
war debt obligations to the greatest
extent possible.
With this in view, 1t has been
made known here that Pres. Hoover
has advanced M suggestions abroad
Tor extending the moratorium on
war debts and reparations payments
beyond next June.
Decision Expected
However. there is a feeling IN
Washington that from the discus
sions late this month of Pres.
Hoover and Premier Laval of France
and from the 1892 disarmament
conference may come either a gen.
eral extension OF the moratorium,
or, perhaps, a la-ge-scale revision
OF all war debts.
The budgetary requirements Of
the European nations in their ratio
TO prospective war debt payments
will be kept carefully to the fore
during the Laval-Hoover confer
ences. MI. Hoover has taken the
position that If foreign nations
would reduce their expenditures for
ornaments they would greatly i'm
prove their economic condition.
A more direct Interpretation has
been given this by some Of the ad-
ministration's advisers. They con-
tend II France and other nations
can afford enormous sums for
ornaments. they can pay their
debts TO the United States.
Value Favored
This view Is finding increasing
favor In America. both among Of
ficials and those outside the gov
eminent. II the situation should
resolve itself definitely to the point
where this country would demand
limitation Of military and naval &C
tivities in exchange for war debt
reductions, Pres. Hoover would find
much support on Capito: Hill.
Only yesterday evidenc Of this
came from a source now opposed to
extension Of the debt moratorium.
Chairman Britten of the house
naval committee said he would sup
port a further debt holiday only If
Great Britain and Japan mot only
annul all new construction con-
tracts but scrap down to the ratios
established by the London naval
conference so that the American
navy viii unquestionably be equal
to England"

Mayor Bolts said that the exact

say whether there would be any

He was OF the opinion that there

Budget Changed
A change recently was made in

Chicago ReVieevs District Page,
Reports on Daily Conference;
Toledo Raises Bundle Order

From Chicago comes comment on
their district issue OF Feb. Is.
"After going over the second
special Chicago pages" writes e.
Gardos, I'VE can state that gen
orally speaking the district csna-
mittee is satisfied with the paper
and the cooperation given by the
editorial staff to make it a success.
The only possible criticism we can
raise is that we asked you for an
editorial on the first page, remind
ing the workers of Chicago on how
to act on primary day, Feb. "A,
and it did not appear"
Gardo then raises the question of
using Chicago news in every issue
besides the Wednesday page. since
the Worker Correspondence group is
being built, and gives some points
on the Readers Conference of the
22nd. Here are the editorial crit
icisns and suggestions:
/. To eliminate all possible alb
breviations from articles, or at least
give full name of organizations OLD,
TUUL, etc. the first time this is
printed in the paper.
2 Not to take things for granted
that the A. F. of L. has fascist
leadership; that the socialist party
is the third party of the bourgeoisie,
etc. Because of the many readers
we are getting, it is necessary to print
a paragraph or two and explain this
to the workers.
3. According to some of our conf
rades, the headlines and the entire
paper cater too much to the unem-
ployed campaign. While this is the
most important campaign before us,
we should play UP quite conspicuously
the struggles of the employed work
ers. This would help betted to spread
the paper around the factories.
A. News for which the workers
buy the capitalist papers foreign
news, capitalist politics should be
better played up.
Gas positive feature Of the con-
ference, we must mention that
every one present who spoke, in
GLIDING Lucy Parsons, spoke with
good deal of enthusiasm about
the Daily, how the workers are re-
ceiying it. A sympathizer who is
now buying the paper told us how
his son fights with him to get ii
first, although this worker had diff
ficulties to get his boy to read the
paper in the beginning. A COM
rade who has a route reported that
he got seven new members into
the Party out of his readers. In
one word, while the meeting was
small, it reflected how the Daily
is growing. not only in number of
its readers, but also in the appre-

CHARGE WORKERS
STEALING AR MS
Protest Against Film
Goes On

BERLIN.-Iawyers defending the
80 Communist workers charged with
stealing arms and ammunition from
the Reichswehr barracks in Leipzig
objected to the President of the court,
Schmitz, on the ground that the lat
ter openly synpathizes with the fas-
cists and therefore is prejudiced.
The president made a statement
denying sympathy with fascism. The
examination of the accused workers
began showing that the police search
ed houses in the absence of the de-
PENDANTS and that they refused to
give receipts for confiscated materials.
The worker defendants denied the re-
sponsibility for the material ailegedly
found by police. The Reichswehr en-
ployee, PeStner, who instigated the
arms raid, was exposed as a fascist
agent proyacateur.
Protests against the reactionsry,
Frederick the Great Film, continued
on Sunday and Monday. Police
dubbed and Slugged, and made over
eighty arrests in Neukoelln alone.
Many socialist protesters we're also ar
rested. Several movies already have
withdrawn showing the film whilst
others which intended to show the
picture have removed the latter from
the program. The socialist, Grzesin-
ski, modified hundreds of police to
protect the film
Last evening the fascist meeting In
Marburg ended in general fighht.
Two were seriously hurt and eight
were lightly wounded. The police sup
demonstrations paraded through the

here. Over a thousand employed
and unemployed workers gathered in
and outside the court room on Fri
day at 2 p. m. when the trial started.
The International Labor Defense
put the mayor and the chief of po-

are prosecuting these workers for Or
ganizing and leading the unemployed

Five OF the workers were released.
Mahoney, an active Negro worker,
was charged with Criminal Syndi-
calism and placed on $4,000 bail. j.
Komo was charged with speaking
without a permit and was held on
