BY HAROLD WILLIAMS.

THE election of Negro unemployed workers from
a, motion picture showing held by Unit S,
Section 4, District Two; the manner in which
this election was carried out. and the refusal of
the unit to realize and condemn its wrong line
in the matter, together with its opportunist de-
cision to hold future affairs outside of Negro
Harlem, sharply serve to demonstrate the neces-
sity for an aggressive struggle against the in
fluence of white chauvinism among the working
class and in the ranks of our Party ITSELF and
Tor Qualification of the entire national question
On Dec. a. Unit ran a moving picture show
at the Section headquarters, 308 Lenox Avenue
Due to the fact that the Unemployed Council
had made great Roadway among the unemployed
Negro workers of Harlem. with the result that
these workers have been using the Section head
quarters as social and organizational center.
number Of unemployed Negro workers were in
the headquarters at the hour set for the showing
The Unit organizer, Comrade Carbon instead
OF appealing to these unemployed workers to pay
what they could, decided to push them out of
the hall. AS result situation developed which
almost brought about a fist fight between the
Negro and white workers present. And in the
end. the Negro workers went away disguised
including some new Negro party members
AS result of this disgusting occurrence went
as Section Organizer. to the next meeting of the
unit and raised the question. I received an
absolutely hostile reception from the unit the
unit organizer leading in the hostility and re-
ferjne 10 me as black chauvinist and Negro
terrorist. The matter was taken up in the Sec
ton Buro. and the entire buro of the unit called
to meet with the Section Committee. The unit
buro lad passed a motion to the effect that the
unit should not hold any future affairs at the
section headquarters but will hold its affairs at
the Italian Workers Center instead. The reason
given was that the motion picture showing had

LOVEST0NE RENEGADES LOSE
INFLUENCE

Frances CFannie) Gordon a teacher of Pas
sale, N. j.. has repudiated her connections with
the Loyestone renegades and has been re-
admitted into the Young Communist League
In her letter Of application for re-admission
she writes as follows:
''The past year has shown that with the elimi-
nation of unprincipled factionalism, our Party
became unified and increased in political mass
influence. The ever growing economic crisis of
American and world capitalism as we'll as the
rapid rehabilitation of the American, working
class show the correctness of the political anal
ysis of our Party and the League as given by
the Comintern and expose the socal-democratic
program of Lovestone which had followed BY
following the Lovestone group was fighting the
decisions of the Sixth World Congress, instead
Of defending them The struggle against these
decisions became struggle against Leninism
The false conceptions of the Lovestone group
on the present economic and political situation
OF capitalism in America, as well as the rest of
the world, their actions on May First, their po-
sitton (and that of Roy on the Indian Revolu-
ton, their struggles against the Comintern and
the American Party, and their attacks upon the
successful socialist construction in the Soviet
Union, illustrate the social-democratic character
of Lovestones political line which leads all those
who follow this line into the camp of capitalism
of all the forces fighting against the working
class.
have been guilty of following the above
course. though I ASSOCIATED myself from the
Lovestone group months ago.
1t is now clear to me that one cannot be a
Communist outside the ranks Of the Communist
Party"
The Party Is willing to take back all those,
who. having been mislead by the high-sounding
phrases and all the subterfuges and receptions
practised by the renegades, now realize their
real counter-revolutionary line and character,
recognize their error, fully endorse and accept
the line CT the Party and of the Conintern, and
pledge to fight for it against all enemies. -
In line with is policy, the re-admission Of
Comrade Gordon has been approved.

Bundles of Letters Receive ed By the Convicted Woman, Now in Jail Cell, Awaiting Sentence

 United Press Stan Correspondent)
 Los Angeles, Jan 29.-UP)- Daisy De Voc, who had two years in which to study closely the mysteri- ous "It' possessed by Clara Bow, feels that girl is both lucky and unlucky if she has it.
 The screen stars former secre- tary made such a declaration to-day as she read her fan maiI' in the county jail. where she has been since last Friday, when she was found guilty of grand theft, where she has received enough letters to keep her occupied until next Monday, when her attorney will argue for new trial.
 Mothers, men and young girls are writing to me from all over the country" Miss De Voc said. 'The mothers-strange as it may seem ask me for advice about their daughters"
 She went through the stack of paper and held up bulky envelope, Here is woman who wants me to give my opinion of It and tell her what can be done with daugh- ters who seem to be letting a gay life get the best of them,' she said.
 ''I am writing her that a straight IOrWard perSOnauty IS PreLeTdOie to Tt and that I consider. this quail ity better than the more spectacular aspects of sex appeal. Of course there is no use denying that It has some advantages. Tt brings fame to some girls and to others it brings only trouble.
 1T also told her that mothers should give modern daughters ad- vice and he sure it's the right kind. If they don't, others will give them advice-the wrong kind."
 Another letter referred to the star of the woman juror who said she held out to convict Miss De Voc on one of the S5 counts "as les son to young girls
 The letter urged Miss De Voc to accept her conviction as martyr and draw comfort from the fact that she was chosen as an instru- mcnt of warning to other girls"
 'I can't be in sympathy with that philosophy" she said. "I don't be- Iieve in martyrs. I believe people should be convicted or acquitted on the evidence and not for the same of being exampes to others"
 Men who write to her either side against her or offer sympathy or ad- vice. she said. Few mash" notes were included in the mail. @ .

 Wow Sunday Evening, February8

The slogan which has been adopt ed by the troop for anniversary week Is, Every Scout In This Troop Jn Uniform by Anniversary Day." And each scout in the troop will wear his uniform every day during anni- versary week
 It may be interesting to know that the first National Boy Scout week to promote the movement through. out the country was conducted un- der the leadership of Hon. William G. McAdoo and inaugurated by proclamation of the president Of the United States in the year 1919. This was immediately followed by proclamaiions from most of the governors of the country.
 It is hoped to have every boy and man who is now oh has been a Scout or scouter at any time in the twea- ty-one yes.rs history of scouting anniversary week as an evidence of his loyalty to the ideals of the move- ment and his willingness to be in- c!uded arr ong his friends. To this end troop >29 will establish a head quarters in one of the local stores downtown where all former scouts ftroop 20 will have their oppor-. tunity in registering themselves.

increase of 221 per cent in the number
of nights lodgings from 1929 to 1881 ana
an even larger increase-443 per cent
in the number of free meals served.
The number of nights lodgings pro-
vided for the first nine months OF 1881

887 900 during the corresponding period
of 1929. Nearly 100000 meals were

where 81 per cent of all the relief came
from the public treasures.
These public expenditures for family
relief do not include pensions to the
aged, veterans relief, or, except In three
cities, allowances for mothers aid.
The peak of relief expenditures for
the 33 months from January, 1929, to
September, 1881, was reached in March,
1881. The usual seasonal recession ac-
companying milder weather conditions
brought sharp reduction In disburse-
ments to the needy from March to Au-
gust, 1881.
However, ethe Summer expenditures
for August this year were larger than
the Winter expenditures for November
In the preceding year. In September,
1881, expenditures had increased IA per
cent over those of August and were
double those of the same month In 1880.

Has Lost Faith
While Mr.. Hoover has been inter-

vent the business cycle from throw
ing the country into a convulsion
every few years. he has lost a good
deal of faith in the idea that this
can be achieved through commits
sions and plans The Legions pro-
posal for reviving the council Of ma
tional defense comes too late.
Eighteen months ago Mr.. Hoover
might have been more receptive.
But the series of White House busi-
ness conferences Immediately after
the stock market crash in 1929. the
presidential prophecies that pros
perity was only sixty days away, the
unsatisfactory results of the com

Arthur Woods, the failure of the

more than prolong the life of the
patient while other forces set to

vince the engineer in the White
House that a good deal Of faith once

was illusory.
