Scientists on Trail of
Fire Secrets of Indians

One Of the oldest scientific mys-
teries, the reputed ability of savage
priests and medicine men to make
themselves immune to fire, is to be
investigated this summer by agents
Of the Smithsonian institution. DR.
Truman Nicholson, of that institu.
ton, has been studying the sacred
beliefs and folklore Of the Fox tribe
of Indians in Iowa. Among this lore
he found the habit of medicine men
conducting certain ceremonies to
plunge their bare arms into boiling
water or to take up and handle
burning firebrands. Educated mem.
bers Of the Fox tribe ascribe this
trick to the previous bathing Of ne
hands and arms in the juice OF an
unnamed weed which grows profuse-
ly in the prairie country. The juice,

Joan of Arc Flag Flies

Once more the flag Of Joan Of Arc
Is flying in Rheims cathedral, where
she ended her mission. 1t was q
member of her Scottish bodyguard
who designed her original battle flag,
reproduction Of which has been
presented to the archbishop Of

Government Makes Saving

The estimates show that there is
a saving of one-third in the cost of
production by the use Of the smaller
size of paper money. One-third less
Of the highly-eXpensive and distinc-
tive paper is required and one-third
less ink, and the shipping weight is
reduced by a third. A so per cent
saving is effected in the actual print
ing process. Notes are printed In
large sheets and afterward cut into
single notes. The old size bills were
printed eight to the sheet. The new
size are made twelve to the sheet.
What the heightened life Of the
smaller notes will be as the result
Of less folding, creasing and crack
ing must be determined by expert
ence, but it is expected substan-
tial saving will result.

Because of Quick Dissopg Property BAYER ASPIRIN Starts
"Taking Hold'' 8 or 4 Minutes After Taking

Remember, it is Genuine Bayer
Aspirin which provides this unique.
quick-acting property. So be sure
you get the Real Article-GEN-
UINE BAYER Aspirin when you
buy. Naturally you want the fast
est, possible relief-and that's the
way to get it.
To identify the genuine, see that
any box or bottle of aspirin you buy
is clearly marked Genuine Bayer
Aspirin" And that any tablet you
take is stamped clearly with the
name "Bayer" in the form of
cross. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Bayer
Aspirin cannot harm the heart.
White Bluffs spokesman. [volume] (White Bluffs, Wash.) 1907-1938, 1932-11-10

Due to important, scientific de-
velopments in the world-famous
Bayer laboratories, almost IN
SLANT relief from headaches,
neuralgia and rheumatic pains is
being afforded millions.
Because Of a unique process in
making and tableting, Genuine
Bayer Aspirin is made to dissolve
almost INSTANTLY in the stom-
ach. Hence it starts to work almost
instantly. And thus "takes hold"
of the average pain or headache in
as little as three or four minutes
after taking. The fastest, safe relief,
it is said, ever known for pain.

vel ORGANIZER
IN BOSTON GETS
1-YEAR JAIL TERM

BOSTON, Mass.-Irving Keith. dis
trict ORGANIZER Of the Young Com
munist League in the Boston district
was sentenced to one year In Jail on
the notorious Deer Island hellhole for
his participation in the leadership Of
the February 4th demonstration for
Unemployment Insurance.
The specific charge on which Keith
was jailed was "inciting to riot" Four
other workers arrested at the same
time as Keith were given sentences
from three to nine months and one
was placed on two years probation.
Keith made a public statement to
the members of the Young Commu-
mist League and to the young workers
generally Of which part is printed
before:
II have been sentenced TO serve
one year as result of my arrest In
connection with the Unemployment
Insurance demonstration of Feb. 4.
Though am i'm jail. want you
comrades to know that I am still
with you In the struggle.
'The bosses have murdered our
comrades in Kentucky and Detroit.
They send us TO jail. But our an
swer as young Communists must be

ganize the young workers and lead
them in struggle.
"My Jail sentence comes at time
when the League is engaged In the

against the boss class terror is to
recruit young workers by the hun
dreds and thousands into the ranks
of the Young Communist League"

receiving consideration from the
politicians who for years have been
doing the bidding of organized
wealth."
With the sales tax defeated, and
but slight possibility for a reversion
of vote when the vote is taken on the
bill as whole, struggle has begun
in the House over the question of
what new taxes to levy in order to
balance the huge budgetary deficit.
Two proposals have been made, one
for tax on beer and the other fol-
a return to the original bill for a
series of nuisance taxes" on amuse-
ment admissions, autos, gas, cleo
tricity, checks, stock transfers, postal
rates, monographs and tobacco.
These taxes, while not as direct as
the sales tax, can very easily be
shifted onto the masses. Several of
the taxes are levied on articles of
mass consumption, such as tobacco,
amusements, gas, electricity, etc. The
others can be passed on by including
them as items in overhead expense
and using them as basis for raising
the prices of the various other
articles.

TAMPA WORKERS
BREAK TERROR;
HOLD MEETING
Expose Cultural"
Exec. Committee AS
Stool Pigeons

TAMPA, Fla, March 24.-For the
first time in months the workers here
broke through the reign of terror and
attended an open meeting on March
1S, called by the International Labor
Defense.
Despite the presence Of two car
loads of cops, including Police Chief
Logan, the meeting did not fa1ter and
the 1875 workers present passed re-
solution demanding the freedom OF
the Is workers arrested in this same
hall Nov. 7th, when the celebration
fthe Russian Revolution was raided
and attacked by the police.
The meeting dtmanded the release
of all class war prisoners and pro-
tested the massacre in Detroit in the
assaults in Chicago.
The committee elected to go from
house to house and collect funds for
the Tampa prisoners netted $500.
This is high testimony to the solidar-
ity and fighting spirit of the Tampa
workers, who although in terrible
conditions have responded time after
time to the call for support.
A number Of the workers have been
discharged from their jobs for having
attended the March 18th meeting.
A meeting of the Cultural on
Tuesday, March 22nd, to which all to-
bacco workers are members further
exposed the open alliance of all but
on the executive committee with
the police and the tobacco manu-
facturers. To begin with the execu-
tive committee permitted or perhaps
invited the immigration officials to
enter the hall and spy on the workers.
Then when workers demanded from
the floor and the Young Communist
League be given the Labor Temple for
an Anti-War meeting the committee
ended the meeting on the excuse that
there was no quorum.
Worker branded them as stool
pigtons. The executive committee
tried to stem the workers anger for
sending the meeting by saying that
the immigration officers were there
to find a New York organizer, one of
whom was in the hall the entire time,
Open intimidation, house to house

cate that the Democratic "revolt"
against their leaders in the House
will be used to lay the basis for a
demagogue resort by the Democratic
Party in the coming presidential cleo
tons to radical" appeal for the
vote of the masses.
The failure of the HOUSE Speaker
and Democratic floor leader Garner
to appear when the vote on the sales
tax was taken, or to issue statement
on the sales tax before the final vote,
was also a political maneuver by
means of which Garner hoped not to
commit himself any more than he
had already done in the statement
issued in support of the sales tax
three days ago.
The release Of Republican repre-
sentatives from party discipline" at
the last minute, as sentiment against
the sales tax grew, was also made
with an eye toward the 1882 elections.
AL the shifting and changing and
crossing of party lines was clearly
made in order to use the sales tax
as an issue in the coming elections.
True to form, the Reverend"
Norman Thomas began to spread
confusion In the ranks of the working
class by holding up the defeat Of the
sales tax as an indication that dem
ocracy" still exists in the United
States and that the masses should
have faith in capitalist Congress. In
the New Leader for March Goth he
states that the defeat of the sales
tax is proof that democracy still
exists:
"Once In a while our creaking
political democracy, dominated as
1t Is by an economic plutocracy
which owns both parties, shows
that there is some life In the demo-
ocratic principle The tempta-
ton Of both old parties TO cater to
the income tax paying group which
finances their campaigns is very
strong. But the gains l have no
ticed constitute something Of case
for substituting for our cynical or
irritated despair Of political deinoc-
racy more efficient machinery Of
political action"
The same hypocritical attempt to
make use of the defeat Of the sales
ia; as the basis for reWving the
.s-shaken illusions of the masses
the democratic nature of the Wall
erect government at Washington
was made by Prof. Dewey. In a
radio speech Thursday night, Dewey
stated:
But what has stirred the pop
ular heart to a much greater degree
Is evidence that the government of
the people, for the people has not
yet completely surrendered to gov
eminent by the rich, for the rich.
Millions have had waning faith
in democracy stirred again to life,

stored, by Indication that the inter-

the Marking and Canton factions
which recently united in order to
present united front AGAINST the
revolutionary struggles of the toiling
masses. British-inspired dispatches
from Hongkong report a movement
in Canton to split South China from
the rest of China. This is in line

powers for the carving up Of China

secret conference Of Sun Fo and
other Canton leaders is reported to
be taking place in Macao. General
Chen Chia-tang, Cantonese military
commander who had lined up with
Chang Kai-shek, is reported to have
fled from Canton.
Increasing defiance by Chinese
rank and file soldiers of their officers
Is indicated in the growing clashes
between Chinese soldiers and the
Japanese invaders on the Shanghai
front. In spite Of the efforts of the
Kuomintang officials to preevnt such
conflicts, the Chinese soldiers seize
every opportunity to attack the hated
invaders. Such attacks are at present
confined to small clashes and sniping
by groups of soldiers.
The revolt in Manchuria continues
to spread, with the Japanese suffering
several reverses and many casualties.
The japanese invaders were driven

First Group OF $50
Students Reaches
Knoxville, Tenn.
Arriv al Marked By
New Threats of Terror

NEW YORK. The first
group of the delegation of $50
students who left under aus
pieces of the National Students
League to investigate the ter
ror and starvation conditions in the
Kentucky coal fields arrived in Knox
vile last night and is awaiting the
arrival Of the second group before
leaving for Harlan.
The arrival of the students was
marked by new outbWst of threats
against them and warnings that they
would be arrested If they attempted
to hold mass meetings or make public
speeches.
The original plan Of Kentucky busi-
ness men, shop keepers and mine
owners to meet the student delega-
ton at the Kentucky Tennessee state
line with an armed fascist band pa
rading as college graduates has been
dropped. The danger that the stu
dents may be attacked still exists
however.
Declaring that the Bell County Of
ficials had denied the $50 college stu
dents protection against threats of
violence as they prepared to enter the
state on survey of coal mining con-
ditions there, the National College
Committee Of the National Student
League wired William G. Mitchell, at
torney General Of the United States
that he take immediate steps to in
sure the safety of these American
students and citizens travelling from
one state to another"
The telegram signed by Donald
Henderson, instructor in the econo-
mics department at Columbia Uni
versity and president of the National
Committee states in part:
"One hundred and fifty college
students representing Is leading
colleges and universities through
out the country will cross the Ken
lucky Tennessee line tomorrow and
make survey of conditions in the
Kentucky coal areas. Press reports
and threats by Bell County author
tiles imply violence"

and as result of which Waldo Frank

jured. The demands that immediate
steps be taken to insure the safety
of the students and that REPETITION
