Jutting off the mezzanine press coop at Madison Square Garden is a railed-in platform, used by cam eramen during fights. and by Abel Kiviat, as press announcer, during such major track and field meets as the Millrose games.
 A telephone at his leDcw, @Kivvy' contacts the track officials, fur nishes details to the newspapermen Several times national one mile champion and member of the 1912 Olympic team, Kiyiat has partici- pated in or witnessed more foot races than he may care to admit
 It takes something unusual to disturb Kiviat's cool handling of figures and other details. Some thing DID, the night of the Mill rose meet, as "Kivvy" yelled ex- citedly:
 Four eleven! Mol Wait! Four eleven and fifthl That's right Wow!"
 Klvlat referred, as you may have gathered by now, to the sensational world record indoor mile run by young Gene Venzke. It seemed for the moment that the old-time miller was going to lose his balance and topple from his balcony perch.
 "Kivvga has seen the milers come and go left many of them in the rear himself, but he saluted Venzke for the greatest 1760 yards ever run in these United States.
 So did 13,0O0 other yelling track and field enthusiasts, many oi whom were somewhat stunned to realize that a farmers boy from Minnesota suddenly had stepped out, set his own pace all the way, and quite unceremoniously wiped ou the record of 4:12 that Nurmi and Ray, at the peak of their two careers, jointly established seven winters ago in the most spectacular indoor track season ever known in this country.
 Venzka did t so easily that it will net be surprising to see him beat 4:I0. He is just at the thresh- old now, the same age as the Nur- mi of 1920 who first broke into the Olympic spotlight. He is the answer l to the U. s. prayer for another ! miller capable of regaining the

1,5OO Meter Hope

Two years ago an obscure Uni versity of Oregon boy, Ralph Hill, ran an American mile record in 4:12 Is, displacing Norman Taber's 15-year-old mark of 4:12 3-5.
 He never duplicated or bettered this achievement, however, and American hopes now of stopping Jules Ladoumegue of France or Lauri Lehtinen of Finland in the Olympic 1900 meter run must be built around Venzke and the pow er-runner who pushed him to his record, Leo Lermond of the New York Athletic club.
 Ray Conger, when he gets into shape, may also be counted on to step brisk mile or 1,500 meters.

The Goodfellows we're able to
give help to II families yester'
day, and received offers of sew
eral more pieces of furniture than
there were calls for. One OF the
needier of our neighbors received
g. gas range that was sorely
needed. Another was the reclp'
dent of a bed that brought mucn
happiness to the two little chill
dren of the family.
Several others received shoes
or clothing, donated by the GOOD
fellows of the city. Many such
items are of no use to the givers
but are actual godsends for the
receivers.
Oil Stoves Needed
At present oil stoves are
needed in two different places.
Screens for doors and windows
have been asked for by family
down in southwest. Also a man
who can patch window and door
screens asks to be put in touch
with any Goodfellows needing
this kind of work done. He has
not had any regular work for
long time and is anxious to get
any odd jobs.
New Baby Expected
Over in the northeast, new
baby is expected by the H. fam
lily and they have no money to
buy baby clothes, and their little
8-year-old girl also needs some
dresses.
If you have anything you have
no use for, the Goodfellows can
find someone who needs it, and
for whom that useless article OF
yours will be a great help.
Call the Goodfellow headquar-
ters, Room 405, District $3.50, and
tell them what you wish to do
nate to the cause. Their truck
will call for your articles, whether
furniture, food or clothing, and
deliver them to any specific case
you may wish. Look the house

Workers must unite solid mass

you are voting yourself out of a

for capitalist parties, he is voting
starvation on his wife and children.

composed of preachers, college pro-

Mr.. Norman Thomas and Mr..

Foster meeting. The auditorium was
filled with about 5000 we'll dressed

Not one unemployed, partly employed
or lower paid worker could be seen.
Waldman shed crocodile tears for
the poor home-owners and expressed
great sympathy for Mr.. insult, the

a sufferer from the capitalist system,
and who was forced to become a fug-

Chats with Our
WOrcOrrS

With the close of the election cam
paign, the duties of the Worcorrs
are by no means over. We want
stories about election day itself
Communist victories, any terrorism at
polls, any trickery, etc.
Most of all we like stories that link
up with the National Hunger March.
The stress placed on the unemploy-
ment issue by the Communist Party,
and its leadership in unemployed
struggles, rallied the unemploed in
great numbers to our standard. This
mobilization will have a tremendous
effect in making the National Hun
ger March success.
After reading over the directives
for the march to Washington, I tried
to bring it to the attention of my
fellow workers. In just five minutes
talk the various questions hurled at
me convinced me that have to read
the directives many times more and
study every detail carefully. Which
I did, and my answers to questions
were more convincing.
This experience found essential
to convey to Daily Worker readers
and correspondents, who are eager
to take active part in the organiza-
ton of the hunger march.
No one is able to convince some
body else in adopting something not
quite clearly understood to himself.
And when he will take the next step
in his activity for the hunger march,
and distribute the program of action
among the workers, he will do it
with an interest which will bring
better results.

ger march activity!

Worker Reports on
Hoover i'm Philadelphia

PHILADELPHIA, Pa. Today I
saw the Man Mr.. Hoover, who took
away my job and slice of bread out
of my mouth and table, and 15,000,-
600 other workers. He takes away
the equal right from all the working
people in U. S. A. and he has some
nerve to look in the eye Of those
hungry people and ask these hungry
people to vote for him.
In the Evening Bulletin of Nov. 1,
Mr.. Hover lied like this: st do not
wish to be misquoted or misunder-
stood do not mean that our Gov
eminent is to part with one iota of
its national resources, without COM
plete protection to the public inter-
est" Is this what Mr. Hoover calls
protection of public interest when
the people lost their money in banks,
lost their houses and farms and
sheriffs' sale, and starve themselves
hungry? This is not protection of
public interest, but this is protecting
capitalist and spectators interests.
