lists. He said that he was looking
not for charity, but for some means
of supporting his family. Lieut.

II was becoming apparent that the
Americans weren't going to score
at all this Xmas and some sociabie
gent in the gallery invited Aiken
head, Ranger goalie, to have tea with
him. Ffty-three seconds from the
start OF the final round the said gent
changed his mind and the menu
when the little disk everyone was
going crazy over whisked past Aiken
head and into the cords for an Amer
lean score. 1t was one of those shots
which even Babe Herman could have
shared with one glove but it tied the
score and tied the American rooters
into vociferous knots. At any rate
a stalemate would not avenge for a
previous defeat SO the Rangers piled
all they had onto the ice. They
rushed and raved between the Eighth
and Ninth Ave. exits like pack Of
lions in a jungle scenario until one
OF them succeeded in pushing the
puck past the battle-scarred Worters.
Loud cheers and more paper. Eleven
minutes later revenge was complete
when Boucher stole away with the
rubber and committed it to the Amer
lean goal where, after brief con-
ference with Worters it was deposited
in the cage, despite sliding protest
by the American goalie. And the
exodus out of the Garden began.
The next time out the Americans
will seek revenge and the Rangers
will seek to improve their standing,
If there's any left.

Homeless Neev York Women

NEW YORK.-It's hot news,
the story of the 175,000 homeless
women in the city of New York.
A series of articles on this subject
was recently run in the New York
World Telegram. The editor of
another paper said he would be
willing to publish articles on this
subject. However, the city editor
of the paper that prints Gall the
news that's fit to print" the
New York Times, thought the sub
ject too hot for his paper. He
sweetly but firmly told one of the
homeless women who recently
came with a story that he agreed
the system was rotten, that there
was unnecessary poverty and mis-
cry, but he needed his job and
could not take a chance printing
anything that would offer the
"big people," advertisers and Wall
Street brokers, who support and
own the %paper.
In every women's flop house in
the city the authorities want to
keep everything quiet and respect
able. If a woman residing in one
of these houses raises her voice
against the conditions, the social
worker takes her to private
room for a quiet chat. She is told
''for her own good" that it would
be best not to take matters too
much to heart.
Usually the women who raise
their voices against the miserable
flop houses, and are militant, are
sent to the ''better homes" Many
of the women who are in these
"better homes" were formerly
highly paid white collar workers.
Now they are run down mentally
and physically. They have looked
for work so long without finding
anything to do, that it is a real
effort for them to look any long
err. They get bed to sleep in and
two meals a day. Some of them
walk four and five miles each day
to some women's relief kitchen
that gives lunch, others have not
the strength to take the walk and
are forced to go without lunch.
Most of these women have been
SO demoralized by the charity
treatment, and the feeling of
worthlessness that has been in
stilled into them, that they would
just be content to live indefinitely
as they are. But always the fear
of eviction hangs over them.
These women's flop houses do not
keep the homeless very long. They
gently ease out those who have
stayed month or more to make
room for another homeless

paper, one of the most popular in
the British labor movement.
The victory gained was not achieved
by haphazard or erratic opposition
work. A well-organized opposition
was formed that expressed itself on
every question facing the busmen,
took leading part in their struggles,
and exposed the reformist leaders as
agents of the bosses.
What Can Be Done
The London Daily Worker correctly
comments on the Importance of this
victory, saying:
These successes of London bus
men in securing militants as their
representatives, in spite of all at
tacks from the permanent officials
of the union, follow closely on the
victory of the anthracite miners in
South Wales, who secured Arthur
Horner as agent with majority of
almost three thousand over his OPP
ponent

NEW YORK.-A fifth man was ar
rested by police yesterday in connec-
ton with the stabbing to death by
anti-Soviet church members Sunday
of Archbishop Leon Tourain, presid-
ing prelate of the Armenian Church
of North and South America.

by police yesterday Of being the actual
murderer.
1t was revealed that the Arch

from counter-revolutionary commit
tee, Tashnag, which seeks to restore
the capitalist state in Soviet Armenia.
The Archbishop had looked upon
Soviet Armenia as aiding the Ar

freedom. Tt was because of this stand
that he was killed by the anti-Soviet
group.
Juan Gonzales Tchalcikian, 90, a
bus boy, was the fifth man arrested.
