 The nacalle (sphere) weighs only 300 pounds, but with all the instruments, Cosyne and myself aboard, plus a ton of powdered lead ballast, she'll scale about 4,000 pounds.
 The balloon itself holds 14,000 cubic meters of gas, but we shall inflate it with only 2,500 meters at the start. It will gradually fill out to capacity in the atmosphere

TO BE AT
ENGDAHL MEET
Memorial for D e a d
Leader Sunday

NEW YORK.-Robert Minor. one
OF the foremost fighters in behalf of
Negro liberation, who has recently
returned from the Soviet Union. will
be one Of the main speakers, together
with Mrs. Ada Wright. at the j.
Louis Engdahl Memorial meeting
Sunday. Dec. Is, at 7 pm. at the
Bronx Coliseum. Engdahl, late ma
tional chairman of the International
Labor Defense, died recently in Mos
COW.
Minor will report to the working
masses, both Negro and white, on the
successful solution of the national
question by the Soviet Union, with
complete liberation Of the peoples
formerly oppressed by tzarist-capit-
alism. He will bring out clearly the
contrast between a workers republic,
where chain-gangs, lynchings and
discrimination have been completely
wiped out, and this So-called demo-
cratic country where the most in
human methods of torture are being
used on tens of thousands of work
ers, both Negro and white, through
out the United States.
The Coliseum meeting will be not
only a powerful tribute to Engdahl
who gave his life in the cause of Ne
gro liberation, and a mass reception
to Mrs. Wright, returning from her
European Scottsboro tour but fur
ther development of the mass fight
for the unconditional release of the
nine innocent Scottsboro children.

JIM-CROWISM
RIFE in ALBANY
Threat to XIII Negro
Jobless Delegate

ALBANY, N. Y, Dec. IA bestial
discrimination and Jim-Crow policy
by the highest state officials is one
Of the reasons the Committee of
Seven of the organized unemployed
Of New York State is prevented from
interviews with many of the state
authorities. Among those who so
far refuse to see the committee is
Governor and PRESIDENT ELECT Roose-
welt.
The Committee of Seven was
thrown out Of the assembly judiciary
committee hearing Tuesday, when
Sam Weisman, its spokesman, de-
scribed the misery of the workers
and declared the bankers and city
authorities of New York are in
league for wage-cuts and lower re-
lief.
But before that, Tuesday morning,
the committee did get in to see
Speaker McGinnis of the assembly
Albany Jim Crowism.
The delegation informed the
speaker Of the open discrimination
against Negro workers in Albany.
They told him that after many
hours of attempting to get suitable
headquarters, the delegation at each
place was refused point blank. due
to the fact that in the delegation was
Negro worker. Also that threats
had been made on the life of this
Negro delegate for eating in a white
mans" restaurant
rms exists IN the capitol city of
the Empire States despite the fact
that Roosevelt, Hopkins the State
Relief Administrator, and Mckee.
Mayor of New York City, deny" the
existence of discrimination against
Negroes. This was linked up in the
conference with McGinnis, with the
discrimination against Negroes in the
distribution of relief throughout the
state and especially in Harlem. Nc
Ginnis remained silent and refused
to commit himself.
In this atmosphere the delegation
made attempts to present the propo-
sails Of the workers, employed and
unemployed-and SO far has been
denied conference with both the Gov
ernor and Lieutenant Governor.
The Conference for Winter Relief
realized that Roosevelt, Lehman and
the state legislators, as tools of the
bankers, would eyade the issues as
presented by the delegation, and so
stated in its document which was
presented to the different legislative
bodies and executive heads, as well
as to the press.
The delegation points out that the
most effective way to force conces-
sions from the capitalist class and
its representatives, for the unem-
ployed workers and poor farmers. is
to organize mass struggle for i'm
mediate relief and unemployment in
surance, by uniting more solidly than
ever before, Negro and white, en-
ployed and unemployed.

be simple assault-but that the case
was of extreme political Importance.
The Seamen had been staging con-
slant demonstrations before and in

months after the alleged "riots and
assault" occurred in the August 10
demonstration.
He kept suggesting that the In
Stitute was a benefactor of the sea-
men, feeding them and supporting
them, which is barefaced lie and
admitted by the Institute itself to
be untrue.
When the defense sought to show
the actual treatment of the seamen
by the Institute, the judge ruled the
evidence out, and threatened the de-

arrest her for insisting on her

again, but the judge supported them
in every case.

they owed the Institute money or
