Siberia Patrol,
New Soviet Film
at Cameo Theatre

Siberian Patrol the third Soviet
talkie TO be releasedin the United
States and now the current feature
at the RKO Cameo, And st. and
Broadway, deals with an episode of
the imperialist intervention in ST.
IBERIA, 1882.
The story deals with group of
Siberian peasants, who defending
their land and revolution against i'm
perialist and white guardist inter-
vention have captured an enemy field
piece and are trying to get it through
for use of the revolutionary forces.
A British and white guardist outpost
blocks the regular route amidst the
vast SHOWS of the Siberian steppes.
The difficulties that this presents,
the heroism of the partisans TO get
the gun through at all costs after
their first qualms ofdoubts, leads them
TO push on.
They capture British sentry while
n
as a steel worker in Great Britain.
The first reaction of the peasants is
to kill the British soldier. The lat
ter is clouted and subjected TO
shower Of blows and curses from the
peasants who see in him the imper-
iallst enemy, who together with the
white Russians have driven them
from their farms, shot and outraged
members of their families and want
ed to restore the rule of the, landlords
and czarists.
One peasant however demands that
they propaganda the enemy Then
follows a fine scene of characterize
ton as the peasants try to AXE the
Britisher understand what they are
fighting for and what their revolu
ton means. Finally the word Lenin
becomes the key TO partial under
standing between them.
The peasants push on with the
captured field piece. At trescher-
GUS turn in the road it falls upon
one of the pertissns and brushes
him beneath its weight. The silent
efforts of the peasants to release
their dying con1rade reveals TO the
British soldier the heroism of the
defenders of the workers and peas
ants revolution. Across the river
he sees the Union Jack flying in the
breeze, at the foot of the hill the dead
partisan receiving the last respects
OF his comrades. He has to make a
choice. With quick decisive mo-
ton he rips off the British insignia
from his hat and directs his steps
towards the partisans.

Up Rent Strike

NEW YORK. attempt to halt
a mass fight against the threat to
evict five tenants who are on a rent
strike at 3215 Holland Avenue, Bronx,
was made when the Landlords at
torney reached an agreement and
promised to have it signed on Sun
day.
This became clear yesterday when
it was announced that the tenants
would be evicted during the day.
Later on the marshal said they would
have to move on Tuesday.

prepared.
The Williamsbridge Unemployed
Council calls upon all workers of the
neighborhood to help the tenants in

BY WALKER STONE

WASHINGTON, March %. - A
concerted movement was started
here today among Indiana Demo-
Gratis in congress to bring about an
impartial inquiry into the Muncie
liquor conspiracy indictments re-
turned by federal grand jury in
indianapolis two weeks ago.
George Dale, Muncie mayor, here
to present his case before high Of
ficials of the department of justice,
today sent word to the capitol that
he would like to have Indiana's
Democratic congressman secure for
him an audience with Attorney
General William E. Mitchell.
Dale also asked that Hoosier
Democrats accompany him to
Mitchelrs Office and join in asking
the encouragement to review the
evidence the mayor will submit to
his charges that the indictments
resulted from "frameup" and were
secured by perjured testimony.
The Muncie mayor is not asking
his Democratic congressional friends
to testify as to his innocence, but
merely that they back him in his
request to the encouragement to
examine the merits of the case.
All l want from the attorney
general is serious attention." said
Dale. IF the congressman will ar

that he would be glad to accom-
pany Dale to the attorney generals

Hoosier Democrats to join in the

i know nothing about Dale's case
except what I have read in news
papers, said Ludlow. But I have
known him many years as a news
paper man, and 1 feel that he is
entitled to fair treatment at the
hands of our government officials.
And I feel sure that the attorney
general will consent to hear him. ="
