Ofncial Washington was on the wing

hy and good cheer. Especially on New
Year day was there fine spirit abroad.
the White House, where the President
and Mrs. Hoover received, and the Pan
American Union Building, where the
diplomatic breakfast was given, being
paramount in interest. The good will
toward q President is never better
proved than on a cold and windy New
Year day, when hundreds Of citizens
wait in line to greet him, and the
homely little incident of the President
inviting two strangers within the man
sion before the reception hour was the
keynote Of hospitality there for the
entire period Of the open door.
Too, there was something nice and
homelike and welcoming in the fact
that the First Lady of the Land wore
neither hat nor gloves, and appeared in
. simple but charming afternoon gown
Of becoming blue. There was the same
spirit Of hospitality in the evening
dance which Mrs. Hoover arranged for
her younger son, Mr.. Allan Hoover, and
fortunate, indeed, was the young per-
son who enjoyed the history making

BROWNSVILLE, Brooklyn, N. Y
In protest against the attempts OF the
capitalists to legally lynch nine Negro
boys in Scottsboro, the workers OF
Brownsville, under the leadership OF
the Communist Party, the League Of
Struggle for Negro Rights ard the
International Labor Defense, are pre-
pairing a mass parade and open air
rally and a huge indoor mass meet
ing Thursday April 30th at Dunbar
Center. The parade will start at
Dean and RockaWay AYES. and will
go up Dean Street and across to Her
kimer st. Many meetings will be held
on the line of march which will wind
up at the indoor meeting at about
$3.50 p. m.
Thousands of Negro workers in
Brownsville are unemployed. Due to
the discrimination practiced against
the Negro workers, they are forced
to live under the most miserable
conditions, facing actual starvation,
living in the forst sections of Browns
vile and are threatened with evic-
tons almost every day.
The workers of Brownsville realize
that they must organize, both Negro
and white, to prevent the murder of
workers, whether Negro or white. The
case of the Paterson silk workers, who
are being framed up on false charge
of having murdered their boss against
whom they were striking, clearly il
Illustrates the offensive against all the
workers when they dare to defend
themselves, when they dare TO fight
for better conditions.
