THIS situation of organizahonal tagging, eSpe-
cially in the shops, is so extremely serious
that it requires sharp turn by the entire Party
in our methods of mass work and organization.
What do we mean by a sharp turn? We have
used this eXpression-"Sharp turn''-so many
times in the past year that I am afraid it be-
gins to lose a little of its meaning for the COM
rades. Let us make very concrete what we mean
BY sharp turn We mean that the task of this
Penum is to begin such a serious and funda-
mental Transformation of our whole Party life.
a change of our whole approach to our work
change in our hour to-hour and day-to-day
methods of work, change in our organizational
practice. a change so complete and 20 deep
going that the entire Party from top to bottom
and the working class around our Party will
shake with the realization that this change is
going on. That is what we mean by sharp
turn We mean drastic period of transfer
nation of the entire life of our movement. That
is what we mean and that is what we want to
register here in this Plenum,
The main task Of this Plenum is to mobilize
the entire Party for this fundamental change.

SEATTLE SPORTSMAN
 FINDS ALASKA BEST
 FIELD FOR TROLLING

In it's salmon trolling, Southeast Alaska has one of the greatest sportsmen's attractions in the world, in the opinion of c. s. Kel- lison, Manager of the Seattle Branch of Spaulding Bros, sport ing goods and equipment dealers He is seeing this portion of the Territory for the first time as a passenger on the United States Coast Guard Cutter Chelan which arrived in port yesterday.
 Salmon trolling such as you have is rare, indeed, and I think you are overlooking one of your best bets by not advertising il widely" declared MT. Kellison Hun dreds of fishermen go to Campbell River each year to troll, but that district doesn't begin to compare with Southeast Alaska, he added.
 MT. Kellison landed 49-pound king on his first try when a party from the cutter spent few hours fishing a short distance north of Ketchikan. Since then the fisher men on the Chelan have landed many kings and all of them are highly enthusiastic over the sport T am coming back for more of it. In fact, I think I may say that this is but the first of many mere trips here as hope to make it an annual event" declared MT Kellison.

OILING AND PAVING
PROJECTS ADVANCE

Oiling of roads will continue well
into next week, at which time the
bulk Of this work viii have been
finished, according to the weekly
traffic bulletin issued today at the
Office of John j. Brown, state high
way director.
The commission, where possible,
has caused detours to be marked.
Many OF these detours change as
work progresses and the oil is abb
sorbed into the roads. In localities
where it is impossible TO establish
detours, signs have been erected
asking a speed Of not to exceed If
teen miles an hour. If this speed
is maintained, there is little C. =
Of oil splashing even when freshly
spread, commissioners assert.
Paving is progressing at high
speed and soon some of the pro-
jects started early in the season
viii be opened to traffic, the bulle-
tin said.

OVERTON, Tex, June 26.-While
workers struggled today to extin-
guish the burning Tulsa Oil Com

hazard was added to the east Texas
oil fields as a new gusher near Cen
ter ragged out of control, spreading
gas and oil over the nearby coun-

Black smoke drifted over farms,
hazarding further oil operations, as
Floyd T. Kinley, Tulsa oil fire
fighter, completed arrangements to
discharge nitroglycerin in the Tulsa
Oil Company's we'll.
Kinley and his helpers have la
bored for more than forty eight
hours, removing debris from around
the hole.
The Overton we'll was one of four
gushers which have run wild and
