 COMMUNISTS
Negro o Vice-P Presidential Candidate on Connniu- mist Ticket and His Friend Eiected From Room

Washington, April 14-(UP)- The orderly procedure of the house ways and means committee hearing on the soldiers. bonus was violently disturbed today when Chairman Crisp called for a Capi- toi policeman to eject from the room representatives of the work CTS and soldiers league.

 The two men had loudly clam ored for a hearing on the $2,000,- 900, soldier bonus but were ex- pelled by plain clothes officers. they were quieted outside the com mittee room and later returned to the hearing. The confusion in the committee room began when Stem Der arose at the conclusion of the testimony of pr Williford King, economist of New York University, and informed Crisp in a loud shout that he and Ford desired to be heard. You will be given hear ing if you behave yourselves" {" Chairman Crisp replied. When Stember continued to demand an immediate hearing, Crisp shouted to the committee clerk to go for Capitol police.

and New Jersey, they grow the dry-ffeshed sweet potatoes of the Jersey varieties, like Yellow Jersey and Jersey Big Stem. The Jersey varieties are also grown in the middle west.
 A sandy soil, plenty of heat, and moderate rainfall, will help de- velop a good crop.
 Chantenay is the leading variety of carrot for planting in home gar dens. Early Rubicon and Danvers Half Long are two other good va rieties.
 It is difficult to SOW carrot seeds thinly enough and still get stand, so 1t seems necessary to put in a fair amount of seed, and then thin the plants to an inch br two apart. By thinning to an inch at first. then removing every other carrot as soon as they are large enough to use. you can get a larger crop than if you thinned to a final stand at first.
 Thin Beets Severely
 When you plant beets remember that what appears to be a seed is really a seed-ball or cluster Of seeds. That explains why your beets. often, come so much thicker than you expected. That means that you will have to thin your beets severely if you want them to amount to anything. However. you can use the thinning for greens.
 An ounce of beet seed will usu- ally plant all of the beets that the ordinary family will care for dur ing the summer. Detroit Dark Red and Crosby's Egyptian are good varieties for the home gar den.
 Of course. you want few early radishes In your garden, and the little Scarlet Globe and White Icicle are two of. the best. Late in the summer you might plant an ounce of seed of the Chinese Win- ter radish. and then store the radishcs in a-cellar or pit for win, ter use.

Women Are Putting Up Good Battle To
 Beat Prohibition

Washington, April 14.-UP)- Hundreds of women surged through corridors and committee rooms of the senate office building to- day. giving spirited and at times noisy approval to proposals for re- peal or mpdification of prohibit tion laws.
 Overflowing one committee room, the women stampeded through the corridors to larger quarters when senators abandoned their effort to hold the hearing in the first place selected.
 Bursts of applause repeatedly in- terrupted arguments against pro- hibition advanced to the commit tee by former Senator James w. Wadsworth of New York.
 Senator Bingham. repn. Conn, author of several of the measures before the committee. made a short statement in which he con- tended that modification of the dry laws would help us win the war against unemployment and depres- sion"
 "You cannot change peoples habits and social customs by law" he said. When you attempt it, the result is either tyranny or lawlessness."

 Delegates to the democratic state convention have not yet been chos- en but 1t was understood the claim was based on the sentiment found in the various towns and districts.
 Former National Committeeman Thomas J. Spellacy countered with a claim-which mentioned no fig ures-that Smith would carry the entire state. "The absurdity of the claims of those opposed to Gov ernor Smith," said .Spellacy, lis best illustrated by the fact that they give the entire vote of Wind ham county to Roosevelt without a single delegate either to Smith or in the doubtful column"
 Spellacy claimed all districts, in- cluding Fairfield county, would be for Smith and that the convention would send delegation to Chicago pledged to Smith.
