Issues Formal Order to Beuin
Construction on Fl New

SEEK PARITY FOR FLEET
Action Comes Close on Heels of
Japanese Increase in
Military Budget

Hyde Park, N. Y, Aug. 3.-(P-
President Roosevelt, pointing out that
on Aug. IS the treasury will have the
largest cash balance in its history
moved confidently ahead Thursday
with his national recovery and de-
tense plans.
Wednesday night he gave formal
approval to the navy's plan to start
Immediately the construction of 81
new warships on the basis of bids re-
Gently submitted. The aim is to put
the United States fleet nearer a par
ity with other world powers.
Thursday he happily scanned re-
ports from the capital, determined to
press to the limit his program to
spread work and maintain wages In
an unprecedented drive to improve
mass purchasing power.
Backing the president is the assur-
ance that came with the stx-fold
oversubscription of the government
$3.50, 100000 August refinancing.
At the middle Of the month the gov
eminent will have in its vaults the
greatest cash balance in history as
the result Of this successful financial
operation-$1 SOC, 100000.
The start Of the naval construction
comes on the heels Of word from ia
pan OF the increase In her budget fol-
military preparations.
The president, without doubt, was
cognizant of the Japanese activities
but it was made plain that he was
intent only upon building the United
States battle fleet to the limits the
London treaty prescribed.
Another conference on naval limita-
tons is coming along and Roosevelt,
wants an actual fleet. rather thar
blue prints, to negotiate with.

M0D|FIES OPINION
SAYING ACCEPTANCE
OF BONDS ILLEGAL
Shaft Finds Building and Loan
Directors Are Given Dis
cretionary Power

Modifying a previous opinion, Har-
old D. Shaft, assistant attorney gen.
eral, Thursday held that building and
loan associations may accept bonds of
the federal home owners loan CORP
Grafton In settlement Of mortgage OBJ
legations and release their security on
payment Of the bonds to the associa-
lions.
Calling attention to an opinion is
sued two weeks ago, Shaft informed
j. ]. Murphy, attorney for the feder-
al home owners loan corporation at
Fargo, I'VE remain convinced that the
funds of building and loan associa-
tions may not be invested In bonds
of the federal home owners loan
corporation"
He said, however, that a study OF
Chapter 81, laws of 1881, disclose that
a building and loan association is
given the power, under subdivision II
OF section Z, to acquire, hold, en-
cumber and convey such real estate
and personal property as may be
necessary for the transaction of It's
business or to enforce or protect its
securities"
Under subdivision Is, the associa-
ton Is given power to make loans to
members secured by first mortgages
on improved real estate, Shaft said,
and by subdivision IA 1t is given power
to cancel such loans and release the
securities on such terms as the board
OF directors may provide"
"Our Interpretation of the two Sec
tions," Shaft held, lis that a building
and loan association may cancel q
loan and release the security upon
receipt Of bonds of the home owners
loan corporation on such terms as the
board Of directors may provide. It
seems clear to me that the right to
compromise with a debtor OF the as
ISOLATION and to settle his obligations
in the manner deemed to be for the
best interests Of the association must
necessarily follow the right to engage
In the business Of making loans upon
mortgage security. The two sections
above mentioned seem to give this ex-
press authority"

HIGH SCHOOL Youth
CONFESSES BRUTAL
Staying OF CHILD
Lures Boy Away With Candy
and Ice Cream; losses
MutiIated Body in Sea

San Diego, Calf, Aug. 3.-(Fe
Philip Charles Edwards, 19-year -old
high school graduate, was held in jail
Thursday as suspect in the mutila-
ton murder of 7-year-old Dalbert
Aposhian while police checked the
closing episodes Of his story Of the
crime.
Edwards first told his story to de-
tectives in Los Angeles where he was
picked up as q loiterer Monday and
repeated it when brought here. Kelly
said the youth told officers he met
Dalbert on a downtown street July
18, the day the boy disappeared.
With candy, sandwiches and ice
cream, Kelly quoted Edwards as say
ing, he coaxed the boy to go for q
street car ride with him. At the end
Of the car line he told Dalbert he liv-
ed lover the hills" and they set off
afoot toward the brush covered mesa.
There he hit the boy with a rock and
left the body until after dark, when
he returned In a stolen automobile
and took it to the water front.
Kelly said Edwards told him he
mutilated the body with a butcher
knife at the waterfront, threw 1t in
the Bay and placed severed portions
in quart jar and threw them in, too.
Kelly and his assistants took Ed
wards over the route he had told
them he and the boy had taken. They
said they found clerks In candy and
ice cream stores who said they had
seen Edwards with a boy.
They found rock and a napkin
on the mesa. Edwards told them,
Kelly said, the rock was the one he
used. and the napkin was one he took
off the sandwiches he bought. Ed
wards said when asked why he did
1t. Il must have been nuts"
The youth said he had taken two
years of law in high school and would
defend himself.
Mrs. Helen Graham, Edwards
mother. said she did not believe her
son killed the boy.
1.-THE night Of July a." Mrs. Ora
ham said, 1.-The day the boys body was
found in the bay, Phillip said to me
mother, that was q horrible crime.
The man who did that should be
lynched without a trial."

entire coal industry.
For the time. the entire campaign
to blanket American business into
agreements to raise wages and create
new jobs was thrust upon Johnson's
aides. The program, which Wednes-
day leaped forward by the wholesale
Llanketing of banks and a half dozen
industries under temporary codes Of
their own, continued to bring in
thousands of new signatures emitting
employers to display the blue eagle
Of MIRA.
=. Hearing Is Advanced
Because Of the coal strike, the hear
Ing on the bituminous coal code, or
rather the Is separate ones that have
been put forward, has been moved up
from Aug. IA to Aug. 8. At that time
the issue Of company union versus
labor union will be thrashed out to
something like determination of q
basis for future industrial relations,
though possibly not final settlement.
The union issue is at the bottom of
the present strike, which spread from
the U. s. Steel subsidiary, H. G. Frick
Coke company mines in Fayette
county, Pennsylvania, to surrounding
territory until around $4,000 miners
now are out, demanding recognition
for the United Mine Workers.
johnson tackled this task Wednes-
day. He flew to Harrisburg to ad-
dress an industrial gathering. When
he flew back, there came to WASH
ington also Pennsylvania's Governor
Pinchot, and Thomas Moses, presi-
dent Of the Prick concern. John l..
Lewis, president OF the United Mine
workers, was on hand.
Much Unrest Reported
While coal presented the immedi-
ate issue, labor unrest has popped up
In other industries. Many officials
here see this as an inevitable devel-
opnent Of the industrial control law
which, for the first time, grants to
laboring men an explicit charter to
organize as they see fit without any
interference from their employers,
once the latter have accepted the in
dustrial self-government free OF the
threat of antitrust law prosecution,
which the codes Of fair practice grant
them.
Despite warnings from johnson
some employers and union heads have
told the men that they must join
company unions, or contrarily, the in
dependent kind, II they expect to get
benefits Of the recovery law. Further
more labor men charge systematic
discrimination to discourage union
lists.
The solution the government is
working towards was pointed out
Wednesday In q modification of the
cotton textile code to provide for q
national industrial relations board,
with linked system Of judicial
boards, representative of all sides,
straight down to the individual plants.
The new creation is intended to give
fair play to both parties. whether la
Dor Is unionized or not. The federal
government itself sits In as mediator
and peace-maker.
II johnson can do it, q similar
structure will be created for every
major industry, evolving a real new
chapter IN the American history Of
celatiors between capital and labor.

1.-THE John Reed Club School of
Art was formed in 1881 in response
to spontaneous demand for
school which would combine the
technical training which any good
art school offers with definite
orientation toward the working
class point of view.
with the cultural and economic
decay of present day society more
and more artists and art students
have come to realize that differ
emit viewpoint is necessary in art
If it is to be creative. This can
only be the viewpoint of the work
inrclass. AS the realization Of this
need increases, so, also, incre9 SEES
the importance of srch a school.
1.-THE John Reed Club School of
Art hes now been organized on a
permanent, continuous basis, pro-
viding four well-planned terms
each year. The courses include
technical subjects, with lie clas-
ses, instruction and lectures, and

tons of content and the social
meaning of art"

On Anniversary of Murder of
II. Simms, Revolutionary Hero

ScoJtSboro boys, one of the first to
warn the Negro youth against the
betrayal tactics of the Negro re-
formists. During the Kentucky
strike, thousands of miners aged in
the coal pits of Mellon, Rockefeller
and Ford, looked up to and fol-
lowed young Harry Sinms against
starvation. Raging with hate, the
Southern ruling class at last vent
its wrath through a bullet fired by
thugs employed by the coal oper-
ators.
THE boss class has succeeded in
snuffing out the life of Harry
Slmms, a fighter, but 1t has not
been able to stop the fight. Young
workers Of the South are carry
ing out Simms' message of strug-
gle. Recently, the battle Of 5000
hosiery workers in High Point, ~
c., which embraced mostly young
workers, was q valiant tribute to
the fighting powers of the South
ern working class youth. More
recently, the struggle of the Tai
lapocsa Negro share-croppers
brought expressions Of greater I'M
ity of Negro and white, for which
Harry Sinms gave his life.
Throughout the country, matur-
ing mass struggles of young and
adult workers prove Harry Simms
has not died in vain. In the pre-
sent Detroit strike, young workers
are setting pace in militancy. In
Trenton, $50 young doll workers
demonstrated for the whole work
Ing class the possibility of winning
basic demands at time of deepest
crisis. The many farm struggles,

employed and homeless youth for

relief and shelter are fitting monu-
mentS for our revolutionary hero,
Harry Simms.
Since SimmS death, the attacks
Of the boss class upon the working
youth has assumed a more frenzied
character. Only recently. Angelo
Herndon, young Negro worker, was
sentenced to 1920 years on q
Georgia chain gang. Homer Bar
ton, in Tampa, has been spirited
away to a Florida chain gang in
a fever-infested swamp. Leo
Thompson, youth leader of the
Pennsylvania mine strikers, is now
serving a long sentence in BlaW-
nox Penitentiary. Henry Cruden
and Pete Bellini, two young lead
ers of the Briggs Auto strike, have
been arrested by the Federal au-
thorities and are held for deporta-
ton.
CHARPEST become the attacks Of
- the boss class upon the youth,
on the eve of new imperialist wars.
Terror is increasingly being used
to force the youth TO bear a larger
burden of the crisis and TO easier
force them into the imperialist war.
The arrests of young workers, the
murder of Harry Simms, Joe York
and George Russell Detroit Mas
sacre) are all progressive war steps
OF American imperialism.
The Young Communist League
boldly calls upon the working youth
to resist the attacks of the boss
class. The ranks OF the Young
Communist League are growing
with youth who are determined
to avenge the brutal slaughter of
our heroes, and wage unceasing
struggle against the mass starva-
ton of millions of workers. Join
the Young Communist League!
Harry Simms gave his life to
the working class. Yet today on
a small plot of earth in Spring
field, Mass, his grave is I'M
marked. A committee-the Harry
Simms Memorial Conference
calls upon all workers and friends
to contribute for monument tc
be placed over the grave. Send
