wendell WEALTH
Labor Department Division
Chief Traces Lineage
With Two Bibles.

A local Government official who be-
1ieves he is the closest living blood rela-
ton to Ella v. Won Wendell, wealthy
New York spinster, who recently died
leaving an estate valued at approx
mately 500, 100000, today filed claim to
the vast fortune.
He is Shelby Smith of Mount Rainier,
Md, chief of the division of publica-
tions and supplies of the Department of
Labor, whose great-grandfather was the
father of Ella V. Won Wendell.
Mr.. Smith traces his ancestry through
two family Bibles, one of which was
owned by John Gottlieb Matthias Wen
del, who was born in Altonia. Denmark,
August IS, 1867, later emigrating to
New York where he married Elizabeth
AStor, daughter Of John Jacob Actor
Grandparents Eloped.
They had one. son, John Daniel Wen
del, whose daughter, Mary Louella
Wendell, eloped to Ripley County, Ind,
with James Henry Smith, grandfather
of Shelby Smith. Some time after the
birth of Henry John Smith, Mr. Smiths
father, Mary Louella Wendell Smith
died and James Henry Smith married
a Miss Stansbury, whose descendants
have also filed claims to the estate.
Shelby Smith had two brothers. One
died when 13 years Of age; the other
died few years ago, leaving five chill
dren.
Mr.. Smith first had his attention
called to his claim to the Wendell estate
by an attorney for those nieces and
nephews, who wrote him from Jackson,
Miss, few days ago. Skeptical, he
paid scant attention to the letter.
1t was followed, however, by a long
distance telephone call and later the at
torney himself came to Washington by
airplane. Convinced that his claim is
legitimate, Mr. Smith signed the neces-
sary papers and the attorney left by
plane late Saturday for New York,
where they will be filed today.
Money to Institutions.
Under the terms of Miss Ella v. Won
Wendel's will most of the estate went
to institutions. Scores of persons from
several sections of the country have al
ready filed claims to shares of the
estate.
Shelby Smith Is well known in gov
ernmental and labor circles. He is vice
president of the Permanent Conference
eral Purchasing Board, two of the Gov
ernment's co-ordinating boards.
Mr.. Smith is a former member Of the
Mount Rainier Town Council He is
married and has three children, Frank
B. Smith, Roy S. Smith and Mrs. A. NJ.

automatically bring the revolution.
One worker says people will do
nothing till they are starving; then
organization will come, and the starv-

Personally, I would like to see a

By SAM DON

THE training OF cadres is essen
tial for the development of eff
fective mass work. The full time
training schools of district, re-
gional and national character are
of great Importance in the training
of functionaries. The attitude.
however, of number Of districts
in the selection of students, as well
as in the general attitude towards
the schools established by the Cen
trail Committee, is far from salts
factory. To give a few examples:
The Workers School and Trade
Union Unity League organ
lied a special weeks training
school for miners and steel workers.
1t goes without saying that this
school was Of great Importance.
The Chicago District was asked to
send at least two miners to this
school, and one steel worker. The
District, however, failed to take adj
vantage Of this excellent opportun-
ity. The answer in fact was that
we do not have the material for
the school, and those who should
be sent cannot be spared.
Chicago, while heavy sinner In
its attitude in selecting comrades
for our schools, is by no means the
only guilty party. We will take an
other example from Minneapolis
District. The weeks National
Training School with 40 students
from practically every District in
the country, has no representation
from the Minnesota District. In
answer to the many requests from
the Central Office that Minnesota
send its quota Of students, we have
received a reply that those COM
rades who are material for the
school are at the present time "in
strategic positions. Therefore they
cannot be sent to the National
Training School. But the comrades
must understand that it is preci-
sely those who are in strategic DO
sitions, that is those who are &C
lively engaged in the mass work OF

pense of the workers pay envelope
and will exclude those many who
had no boss and pay envelope for
a substantial period of time, as lis
the case with many of these "un-
employment insurance" schemes.
These gentlement can't silence
the fact that they bitterly opposed
the Workers Unemployment Insur-
ance Bill that was mailed by the
New York AFL Trade Union Com
mittee for Unemployment Insur-
ance and Relief. This bill clearly
declares: Unemployment Insur-

pense of the employers and the gov
eminent, to be administered by the
workers; also insurance to the
amount of full wages to compen-

ity, ETC."
Knowing these Greens and VOLS
from past experience, we may safe
ly consider the new retreat of July

tiion in the attempt to weaken the

ers' unemployment insurance.
The way to force through the
adoption at tn Cincinatti conven
ton which will be held on Nov. 81,
is by mass pressure from the rank
and file in the A. F. of L. of the
Workers Unemployment Insurance
Bill. The way to bring such pres
sure is to send a broad rank and
file delegation representing local
unions all over the country to the
Cincinatti convention and demand
the adnittance OF rank and file
representation to this convention
to take up the question of govern
ment unemployment insurance and
relief
Only an organized pressure of the
rank and file in the AFL together
with the starving workers outside of
the AFL will force the government
to adopt the Workers Unemploy-
ment Insurance Bill.

Who Should Be Sent to Our
Schools?

choice for our schools.
While the composition of the stu
dents in our schools have improved
a great deal lately, it is still far
from satisfactory. The main rea-
son for this is that the Districts
who select the students have a
policy Of sending those who can
be spared. which means those COM
rades wlro are not in close touch
with the masses and actively en-
gagged in mass work.
We must fundamentally change
the attitude in the selection of the
comrades for our schools.
While recently there is a better
representation of Negroes at our
schools, there is, however, not
sufficient careful selection of pro-
letarian elements.
In the selection of women COM
rades for the schools, we must par
ticularly insist on the selection of
industrial workers.
Young and new members of the
Party should of course be consid-
cred as fit and in some instances
preferable m t eri al for
our schools. However, a more
careful selection should be made.
Such new and young members
should be selected for our schools
who have been tested in the class
struggle.
In addition to the regional and
national schools which are organ
lied and conducted by the Central
Committee, the system of district
schools must be still further devel-
oped. While we have made some
progress in this direction, the main
weakness lies in the fact that the
district leaderships are not paying
sufficient attention to the organiza-
tional details of their district schools
and particularly to the selection of
the students, It would be we'll to
have the experience of the Chicago,
Cleveland, Detroit and San Fran
cisco District Schools.
For serious approach to the
training Of new cadres-more at
teution to our school systeml
