Sparrows Rival
Sabotage as Grief
For Dirigible Grew
SharpshoOter Designated
to Gum for Pests at
Akron Plant.

Communists bent on sabotage are not
the only source of worry for the men
who are building the U. s. s. Akron,
giant Navy dirigible, in the huge Good
year Zeppelin dock at Akron, Ohio
They are having sparrow trouble.
Washingtonians who have lived
through the starting scourges in the
National Capital should be able to APP
preciate to the full the difficulties fac
ing the hundreds of men who are at
work on the big airship. Hundreds
of sparrows, without malice but only
with neighbor1iness in their little hearts,
have elected to make their homes and
nests in their prospective huge COM
panion of the air.
The officials in charge of the work,
as a measure of self-protection, have
been forced to assign Fred Wilson,
sharpshooter of the Goodyear guards,
to go cunning for the little pests.
Wilson is using a .22-caliber rife
with light charge so that bullets miss
ing their feathered targets will do lit
tie damage to the sheet metal roof and
walls. Every time Wilson's rifle pings
the workmen cheer, visualizing the day
when they may work without inter-
terence from on high.

POLITICAL INITIATION OF
NEW MEMBERS

This pamphlet VIII take up the same torncS as
mentioned in the six weeks training course.
Organization of the Course.
How should the six weeks training course be
organized7 1t should not consist of more than
80 members Every six weeks a new group to be
organized. At the game time when the new
member attends the course, he should be advised
not to attend any other classes The unit should
during this period give the new member only a
few tasks. The District Committees to decide on
the organizational for1n-whether it should be
organized on unit, city or section scale. 1t all
depends on the local conditions. Wherever pos
Sible one comrade should be assigned to be in
charge Of the entire course. At the same time,
in view of the nature of the topics and the diff
culties of obtaining instructors, various COM
rades may be assigned for the different topics.
New Members Course and Fundamentals?
There is of course, a difference between the
new members six weeks training course and
the classes in fundamentals.
The classes in fundamentals is for the pur-
pose of giving an elementary propagandistic theo-
Sretical training for the Party membership
training which is to give broaded understand
ing Of the laws of the class struggle, role and
strategy of the Party. The six weeks new mem
bers' training course, on the other hand, Is only
for the purpose Of giving most general under
standing of the role and activities of the Party.
1t is for the purpose of politically initiating the
new members for the purpose of helping the
new members to BEGIN to THINK and FUNC-
TON politically in the Party.
The six weeks training course is not a suhsti-
tute for the classes in fundamentals. AS out
lined above it is to serve an entirely different
purpose
Course Is Voluntary.
This course must be absolutely VOLUNTARY.
Under no circumstances should it be made q.
condition for joining the Party or becoming &C
tive. 1t should be started at first in q few sec
tons. On the basis of the experiences Of some
Of the sections then to be gradually extended.
just as in pointing out the need Of involving
the new members in activities, we must guard
ourselves against the danger of overburdening
the new members with too many tasks, so in
discussing the need of the political initiation
and training of new members We must guard
ourselves against scholastic tendencies With
the proper balance on this point the new six
weeks training course can become an important
weapon in the training of the new members
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1931-12-22

YrOR, a new member the first few weeks is the
1 most Important formative period. The first
impressions that the new members get about our
PARTY may be decisive whether he viii remain
or drop out OF the Party. 1t is therefore, most
essential to help the new members to learn
about the role activities and structure OF otr
Party.
The participation OF the Party IN the class
struggle, his life conditions a worker, have
brought the new member into the Party. Now
that he is in the Party, he must be made con-
sciouS of the leading role OF the Party, get an
elementary political explanation Of the class
struggle, and get practical concrete guidance
how as a member of the Party he is to learn to
play an active and leading role amongst the
workers. Such an approach will help in re-
tanning them and involve them gradually into
the activities of the Party.
Political Role Of Unit
The most important point OF politically init
ating the new members is the Unit 1t is there
where he gets the first impressions OF the Party,
where he for the first time sees the Party in its
daily activities, and where he will be involved in
the life and work of the Party. The raising of
the political life of the unit, an improved Or
ganizational functioning of the unit, is decisive
for the retention of new members.
AT the same time we must give the new mem
bers an elementary political training which
would make them feel more at home in the
Party, give them a better understanding of the
role and activities of the Party. This will make
it easier for them and make them more eager to
become active in the Party.
Six Weeks Course for New Members.
The following six weeks training course is pro-
posed: First week, discussion with the new
members, why they join the Party and how
to improve the recruiting of new members; sec
ond week, the present economic and political
situation in the country; third week, the role
of the Party in the class struggle; fourth and
fifth week, the mass campaigns Of the Party
and mass organizations; sixth week, the organ
national structure of the Party.
Methods of Teaching.
What should be the method for this course?
A most simple presentation of the general basic
problem in each course. The lecture and dis
cuSsion method to be combined. Reading OF
certain pamphlets, some sections in some pam
phIets can be assigned The Agitprop Depart
ment is also contemplating the publication OF
simple propaganda pamphlet for new members.

Women Workers! Support
the Liberator DriVe!
BY ANNA DAMON.


THE Negro workers are among the best fighters
in the ranks OF the Communist Party the
Trade Union Unity League, the League of Strug-
gle for Negro Rights and the Councils OF the
Unemployed.
We need only review the recent struggles IN
the South, in Chicago Cleveland to see that
the masses of Negro workers are moving
and moving fast to consolidate their fight against
their common enemy the capitalist class with
the white workers.
The recent strikes in Pittsburgh West Vir-
ginia, Ohio and Kentucky, under the leadership
of the National Miners Union, brought the Ne
gro miners into direct leadership of the union
and the strike The Negro women were, in many
sections the leaders Of the strike and became
officers of the women's auxiiaries in the miners
union. The class program Of the Communist
Party and the revolutionary union has proven to
the Negro masses that the Communist Party is
their Party that fights in their interests as the
most oppressed and prosecuted workers under the
capitalist government of the United States of
America
The Daily Worker, Southern Worker, Labor
Unity, Working Woman and other Party papers
reflect the struggles of the Negro masses and
proceeds to organize them along the lines of
revolutionary struggle. However, these papers,
with the many general problems of the working
CldSS, COuO LOt III limited space tf1ey nave
at thesr disposal, treat adequately the problems
OF the Negro masses.
The need OF the weekly organ of the League OF
Struggle for Negro Rights, the 1iberator, becom-
ing mass paper in the present struggles of the
Negro masses must be recognized by all the work
ers. The Liberator drive for 10000 new readers
which has been prolonged until Jan. Is must
be accomplished. 1t is not too great q task to
set; however, 1t requires the full cooperation
and support OF the white and Negro workers. In
the campaign of the Daily Worker and other
Party papers the support Of the working-cass
women have shown that they recognize the inn
portance OF the revolutionary press as weapon
against the bosses and their lying propaganda
The present campaign of the Liberator should
meet with the same response. Women Party
members, members OF trade unions, fraternal
won1ens organizations! Do your share to con-
solidate the struggles OF the 100000 Negro
workers with white workers in the United States
OF America Get your organization to order a
bundle OF Liberators every week. get your Or
CARNATIONS to make a donation. Become active
participants of the 1iberator building group in
your city.

Contract Systems.

WHAT strictly contract type Of bid has been
universally adopted and now is IN the
systems Of all expert players?
The forcing takeout" sometimes ScaIled
Jump shift" has been developed only since
contract came into being though It also would
be useful in sonae auction situations. In the
new game its value Is tremendous when the
partner Of an original bidder holds enough
additional strength to know that game Is prac-
Hcally sure for the side at some declaration,
there being doubt as 10 which one. This sit1a-
ton-game strength divided between the two
hazds-occurs much oftener than that in
which game strength il punched IN one hand.
When the partner Of an original bidder holds
such strength, he proclaims 1t by bidding in
some yet unbid suit one more than is necessary
to oyercan the bid which reaches him The
amount Tor this is generally described as about
three honor tricks, quick tricks or high card
tricks, though some players WIZ do it with
less strength they possess q strong two
suffer or Semi-two-suiter. When player has
that much strength, he knows the opponents
cannot. at the outside. hold more than about
three defensive tricks. for his partner in maxi
ing the original bid has shown from two to two
and hall, depending upon the system In use.
How much difference between systems is
there IN the strength required TO bid one no
trump over partners original bid OF one tn q
suit?

As to the removal Of the Northern Liberty
Market from this spot suffice to say that claims
for damages were filed by about 300 merchants,
direct or through their heirs or representatives
for the loss Of their holdings and equipments.
These claims aggregated nearly 100000, but
were finally scaled down to $128 5785O by James
c. Payne auditor Of the Supreme Court Of the
District of Columbia, and along about 1897
years after the taking down of the market-the
amount declared due by the auditor was paid
out Of the funds Of the District of Columbia
and today only the sad loss of two lives mars
what otherwise would be an ideal conclusion;
for we all admit that the handsome Public
Library Building does a much better credit to
this block than would the old and unsightly
