FROM EDITOR TO READER

the comrade who got you to the meeting doesn't
spoil everything by having a lecturer speechify
you to death about the revolutionary situation
in Patagonia and forget that it is your meet
ing and the purpose of it is to form Daily Work
er Clubs There have been two or three such
dnishandled meetings and they weren't in Soap
poose, Oregon, either
The formation of D. W Clubs should ordi-
narily not start off from such big meetings Gov
ering an entire great city and hundreds of our
readers. 1t is much better to begin with small
areas, neighborhoods, sections-yes and in in
diVidual shops and factories. No doubt we were
to blame for not stressing this before, this be-
ginning at the bottom, although we mentioned
the insufficiency of big meetings.
Later on big meetings are all right, as a de-
velopment But what we want first and fore
most is that you, each individual reader who
likes the Daily Worker, to get two or three-or
dozen-of your shop-mates or your neighbors
interested in the paper and what it says, even
though they are not all as interested as you are.
Many OF our present clubs have been formed
just that way And you may call your little
group Daily Worker Club or a Daily. Worker
Circle or not call it anything at all, so long as
you build up little group that likes the Daily
and feels that without it something would be
missing in their life.
are fairly easy to form, and when they really
take shape and the workers in them begin to
form and express their ideas about the paper,
its weak points and strong points, their criti-
cisns and suggestions should be sent us: we
value this.
In large cities, there is still no reason why
the same general method should not be used
in fact it is the best method to begin with But
in the big cities where the Daily Worker Agent
is-or should be--pretty well in touch with SUBJ
scrbers and readers in the different sections of
town. with his assistance the individual readers
in a particular section and any of these small
groups formed around the individual reader
may be got together in place easily reached
by anyone in that section, and stable, yet not
an unwiedy, D. w. Club be formed in the
neighborhood secticl. After such develop
merit in two or more sections, then a city-wide
Blowout" may be held. Which will help greatly
and asztnAAse everybody.

The Communist Party in the
North Little Rock Elections

IN North Little Rock Arkansas, Comrade D.
zini is running for Mayor as the candidate
OF the Communist Party. AS part of the regu-
lar capitalist oppression the bosses have refused
to let Comrade zinis name appear on the ballot
On election day, however, hundreds of workers
in North Little Rock will go to the polls and
write in the name of Comrade zini the candi-
date of the Communist Party, the only party
OF the working class.
The capitalist class in the territory has be-
come frightened by the readiness the workers
have shown to follow the program of the Com
munist Party in the city. The fear of the CAPT
talistS is best seen from the following report
taken from one Of the capitalist sheets of Little
Rock:
"A serious threat in North Little Rock is seen
by city officials in the candidacy for mayor of
Don1inick zini, avoWed Communist Under the
guise Of nayoralty campaign, Zini is said to

Build Your Foundation First

DERHAPS one of the difficulties in forming
Daily Worker Clubs is having too grand and
glorious ideas about what they should be right
away quick.
If there are, let's say 1000 Daily Worker
readers in-well we will be charitable and not
mention names-in, let's say, Scappoose Oregon,
and the Daily Worker Agent there calls you in
from all sections of that great city to one great
big mass meeting and tells you that now you are
to consider yourselves organized in a Daily
Worker Club, you just up and tell him that he
is rushing things too fast
OF course, if 1000 or any fair per cent of
you actually get together, even sort of jammed
together hurriedy like that still a good deal
can be accomplished. Providing, however that

SUICIDE IS VERDICT
]. IN BANDITS DEATH
Inquest Held to End RumorS
State Police Killed Fleeing
HoId-up Man.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
LAUREL, Md, January 31.-Ballistic
testimony and Photographic evidence
today convinced a coroner's jury that
Louis Rogers Taylor of Indianapolis,
Ind. one of the three men who held up
q local jewelry store Wednesday, met
his death by his own hand.
The inquest was held to spike ru-
mors that State police killed the man,
Justice of the Peace H. M. Scott, acting
coroner, said. The jury brought in a
verdict of suicide after celebrating
only few minutes.
Army Man Testifies.
John Stanford Army ballistic expert
from Camp Meade, told the Jury that
while the bullet taken from Taylor's
chest was the same caliber as used by
State police it was of an entirely diff
ferent type.
Photographs of Taylor's wounds,
showing counter-burns where the bull
let entered the body, were also pre-
sented.
State Policeman G. E. Bobst testified
that when he came upon Taylor near
the Patuxent River the man whipped
out revolver and shot himself in the
chest and head before he could stop
him.
Drs. Robert McCeney and C. ]. New
rath testified that the wound in the
chest, inflicted first, would not have
been fatal.
Await Hearing Tuesday.
The inquest was held in the local
Police Court rocm with George P. Nc
Ceney, city solicitor of Laurel, assisting.
Many persons anxious to hear the tes-
timony were unable to gain admittance.
Taylor's parents, who have notified
local authorities that they are coming
here to take charge of the body, had
not arrived early tonight.
Thomas A. Phillips of Baltimore and
Paul Taylor of Kensington, alleged
companions of Louis Taylor in the
hold-up, are in the Marlboro Jail await
ing hearing Tuesday on robbery charges

SENATOR CUTTING URGES
RECOGNITION OF RUSSIA
Jefferson Precedent and Benefits of
Normal intercourse Cited Before
National G. o. P. Club.
~ the Associated Press

~ the Associated Press
NEW YORK. January 3l.-Recogni-
ton of Soviet Russia was advocated be-
fore the National Republican Club to-
day by Senator Bronson NJ Cutting of
New Mexico. He said the American
Government should recognize the So
Wet regime. not only because such a
policy would be in line with the prece-
dent set by Thomas Jefferson, who in
1893 recognized the republican govern
ment of France, but because this coun-
try would obtain the same benefits from
normal intercourse with Russia as 1t
does from normal intercourse with
other nations.
I'VE can afford to meet Russian in
situations and Russian theories on the
equal basis of fair discussion and COM
petition" said Senator Cutting. Our
own institutions and our own economic
ard social theories will in this way prove
themselves superior to theirs II / am
mistaken, and If Communism should
prove its superiority in the open market.
it deserves to win out. BY the clash of
these rival theories it is at least pos
s1ble that some new social order may
arise superior in essence and in detail
to either one.
After IA years of varying fortunes
the Soviet government has established
itself as one Of the emphatically stable
governments of the world"

A fOiCn and tort IN process OF cOnSfTuc.
ton by the seaside on Hispana, and the
,oOrds 'InsuLa Hispana" (SaH Do
mingO.)
The second biography of Columbus together
with the oldest likeness Of the great explorer
that is in existence, appeared in the "Elogia
Virorum ulustrium" of 1875, by Paultls JovillS.
This attracts the portrait seekers
When Columbus son. Ferdinand, read Gils-
tiniana's Psalter account, he became exceed
ingly angry because of the statement that his
father was born of low parentage and uniustly
accused the writer of telling Is lies about his
famous parent. But in spite Of Ferdmand'S
frantic attempts to connect his fathers descent
with the Colombos Of ancient line, the
world continues to say that Christopher Column
bus was the son Of wool weaver. Finally.
Ferdinand himself, tremendously upset by the
PSalter account, wrote biography OF his father
over the authenticity Of which the critics have
been fighting for number Of centuries.
X IEvERTHELEss the naive Psalter account
continues to hold the public interest, and
here it is:
Then it was Christopher, named Columbus,
a Genoese by birth, Of low family, who in our
times by his energy explored in a few months
a greater extent of land and Of sea than almost
all the rest of mankind did in all past
ages. And 1t Is wonderful thing, now ver1-
fed, and visited not by few ships only, but
by whole fleets and armies going to and fro.
He, who had scarcely received the first elements
of education in his childhood, applied himself
to the study of navigation after he grew up.
His brother had been to Portugal, and while in
Lisbon followed the business of delineating rep
reservations Of the sea, of ports and Of shores,
for the use Of mariners.
From him he acquired his knowledge of
CULTS and islands through such pictures. It
may be supposed that he (C.'s brother) OBJ
tanned his information from some Of those who
went yearly, by order of the king, to explore
unknown parts of Africa, and the distant
shores Of the ocean between the South and West.
Having conversed often with such men and
comparing the information received from them
with the ideas suggested by the pictures and
what he had read in works on cosmography, he
came at last to the opinion that it was pos
sible for one who, starting from the African
shore where it turns southwark, should fail in
southwesterly direction, to find, in q few
months. either island the extremity Of
the continent of India.
LAS soon he understood these things sum-
GENTLY from his brother and considered them
seriously within himself, he informed some Of
the noblemen of the Spanish King that he

Sunday Barber Ban
Faces Church Fight

Vigorous opposition to the pass
age of the bill proposing the Sun
day closing of barber shops In
Washington will be staged when
the measure is taken up in the
House, according to DR.. c. S.

The bill as passed in the Senate
a few days ago, according to DR..
Longacre, discriminates against
the followers of those religions
which do not observe Sunday as
their Sabbath. These include the
Seventh Day Adventists, Hebrews
and others.
