sources in the U. S. S. R., but his

A. A. Heller and Liston M. Oak,
editors Of "SOviet Russia Today"
announced yesterday that the law
firm Of Hays, st. John, Abramson
& Schulman, engaged TO defend
the magazine libel suit instituted
by Isaac Don Levine, have obtained
an extension of time in which to
file answer to Levine'S complaint.
Isaac Don Levine is the author of
series of books and articles which
SANDER the Soviet Government,
the Soviet workers and peasants
and the Communist Party, which
leads them in the building of So
ciaISm. "SOviet Russia Today" in
a review of Levine's latest book of
SANDER called Red Smoke" stated
that Levine is q literary racketeer,
q pen prostitute and an unscrupul-
GUS anti-Soviet propaganda.
ISLANDERS U. S. S. R.
Interviewed yesterday, Liston M.
Oak declared: 'Levine'S writings
are an amazing network of inaccu-
racies, misstatements, misquota-
tons, distortions of fact and eX-
aggerations, calculated to give an
entirely false picture of the Soviet
Union. He draws freely for his
material upon the White Guard,
Irotskyite and Social Democratic
press. 1t viii be simple matter
to prove that Levine's statements
are fatty contradicted not only by
statistics and other facts from
Soviet sources, but from investiga-
tons made by prominent conser-
Vatlve American scientists and en-
gineers."
'Levine's thesis in Red Smoke
is that the natural resources of the
Soviet Union are among the lowest
in the world and inadequate for an
Important industrial power and
that, Stains regime brought the
Russian standard of living below
that of China and India Levine
marshals argurA9nts in futile at
tempt to prove that the Five-Year
Plan is a failure. Soviet Russia
Today has already collected bulky
documentary proof that Levine's
argument about the poverty of ma
tural resources in the Soviet Union
is ridiculous and untrue. We can
easily prove the truth of Col. Hugh
l.. Cooper's statement that Russia
and the U. S. have today more ma
tural resources upon which to
build and maintain high stand
ard of living than is to be found
elsewhere in the world the
greatest Immediately available I'M
developed natural resources in the
world today are located within the
Soviet Union Col. Cooper might
have added that only in the Soviet
Union is the standard of living
steadily rising. In the United
States, as in all capitalist countries.

"Comrade Engdahl carried on a

their monstrous oppression of the

Death of Engdahl
A Loss to Workers
James w. Ford Recent Communist Candidate,
Pays Tribute to Revolutionary Leader

THE news of the death in Moscow
L of J. Louis Engdahl, one of the
outstanding revolutionary leaders of
the American working class, has
caused a profound feeling of loss
among the workers of this city and
throughout the whole country. En-
gdahl died Monday afternoon after
several days illness of pneumonia,
following strenuous six months
tour in Is European countries for
the building of the Scottsboro De-
tense campaign in Europe.
Engdahls ashes, according to word
received today from Moscow, will
be brought back. to the United
States, and series of memorial
meeting will be held in various parts
of the country.
EngdahI was accompanied on the
European tour by Mrs. Ada Wright,
mother of two of the nine innocent
Scottsboro Negro boys facing legal
lynching in Alabama. He was in
Moscow attending the World Con-
gresS of the International Red Aid,
whose sections in many countries
are leading the fight for the Scots
boro boys.
FORMER EDITOR OF DAILY
WORKER
Engdahl had been active for many
years in the revolutionary move
ment. He was formerly editor OF
the Daily Worker and up to a few
weeks ago General secretary of the
International Labor Defense.
James w. Ford, Communist vice
presidential candidate in the recent
elections, yesterday paid the follow
ing tribute to the dead revolution

Comrade Engdahl plunged into the
struggle for the release of the
Scottsboro boys, the fight for Tom
Mooney and all class war prisoners.
DEATH FOLLOWED TOUR
Without doubt, the strenuous
tour throughout Europe with Mrs.
Wright, mother of two of the Scots
boro boys, crystalizing mass SEN
timent in the fight for the release of
the Scottsboro boys, lowered his
physical resistance.
"At the direction Of the United

 Success would mean reduction of more than $4kO, ,OOO, ,OOO of the Si,. vU0, ,O0O, ,O00 or more in the national 1 budget now being spent annually for veterans relief. Tho national economy commit. tee is composed largely from the group of men who launched the military training camps association In 1915, providing tho vanguard of volunteer officers for tho draft army during the World war. Captain Archibald B. Roosevelt, youngest son of the late President Theodore Roosevelt, us executive secretary of the now organizatio Ion, made the following statement.
