 Militant Patriots
WOlman in Special MemO- rial Day Message Sees
 Growth of Communism

Kansas City, Mo, May 23.-A call ito arms for militant patriots" is voiced in a Memorial Day message by Paul c. Wolman, Baltimore, Maryland, ommander-in-chief of the Veterans of Foreign Wars of the United States, with a plea for the mobilization of a peacetime army that will effectively offset the in- creasing influence of Communist ac- tivities in America"
 Unless we awaken from our pres- ent apathetic attitude toward the growth of Communism in this coun- try, the pledges we make annually at the graves of our honored dead on Memorial Day are being made in vain," Commander-in-Chief Wolman declared.
 Passive resistance and tolerant patience have failed as methods of discouraging the Communist and his program of violence" said Wolman. we, as veterans and citizens who appreciate the heritage of democ- racy that is ours, must combat this evil with a militant determination to purge this country of those who would raise the red flag of revolu- ton and ruin.
 'Internationalists, laboring zeal- ously in behalf of world brother hood, have created the false impress sion that patriotism and loyalty to American ideals of government have become provincial and old fash toned.
 At every opportunity they de- ride any movement that tends to ex- pose Communists in their desire to disrupt Americas peace and tram quility. Recent widespread May Day demonstrations indicate that emis- saries of the Soviet government are doing their utmost in the effort to take advantage of present unrest and unemployment conditions. As usual, their preachings are directed toward the disgruntled and the un- informed. playing cleverly upon the emotions of those who are easily
 "There is no doubt concerning the purposes of this movement that Is directed from Moscow. The aims and objectives are frankly avowed foist these principles of Sovietism upon the American people.
 "As loyal Americans, we are dedi- cated to the preservation of our present form of government and any effort to establish a world dictator ship of the so-called proletariat, through a Union of Soviet Socialist republics governed by Moscow. Is by no means consistent with our Dec- laration of Independence.
 We can no longer afford to is- nore the efforts of foreign govern. ment that would gain its ends by ag. gravating strikes, sabotage, riots, bloodshed, and civil war.
 "Communism advocates hatred of God and all forms of religion, strik. Ing ct the very roots of constitus tionai liberties created and pre-. served by the sacrifices of our hon. ored dead.

 Lieutenant R. B. Bourne, radio of- ficer, 43d division of aviation, and adviser of the Hartford Aero Model club and local expert model builder. will act as the director of the meet. Two years ago similar meet was held in the armory and some one hundred boys throughout the state participated in the c0netst and some excellent models were exhibited, both in the flying type and scale models. This year the contest has been limited to three events: hand launched duration, commercial R. o. G., and a novelty plane contest. The first two will be open to young men between the ages of IA and Fl. In the latter event there will be no age limit and any size, type, or de- sign of plane will be allowed pro- vided it was made by the owner. and the ships in this contest will be judged according to the workman ship, general appearance, and ability to do the unusual. Special consid- eration will be given spectacular fly ing
 In the hand-launched duration contest the distance between the propeller bearing and supporting hook shall not exceed 15 inches; in the commercial R. o. G. (rise off ground) contest the fuselage shall have a cross section area equal to the length of the fuselage squared and divided by 100.

continue for several years.
 "The remedies to control the ap- pie leafhopper in Connecticut seem insufficient and unsatisfactory in view of last years experience" Dr Garman said to-day. "Our experi- ments will be designed to obtain control the year around. We shall not make any life history studies this year, except to observe the oc- currence in orchards. It is gener- ally believed that there are two generations in this state."
 The first application on the sta ton farm was dormant spray de- signed to kill the eggs. These are laid underneath the bark. which is difficult to penetrate. Four differ ent oil sprays in various combina- tions are being studied. The next spray application will be made when
