Among those who will retire

istration; Pat McKenna, chief
usher at the Executive offices,

WAGNER RELIEF
FUND To PASS
HOUSE TO-DAY
Democrats Claim Victory De-
spite Militant 0pposi-
ton From COP.

Democratic leaders of the
House promised passage today of
the $500, 900, 900 Wagner-Costigan.
LaFollette relief bill despite mill
tant Republican opposition.
The measure, which provides
direct gifts to States and cities
for unemployment relief, passed
the Senate in slightly different
form from the bill to be brought
before the House.
Because House leaders main.
tanned that the Senate exceeded
it's constitutional authority IN
originating a fiscal measure,
House bill will be considered and
Senate action will be required
again.
G. O. p. Proposes Loans
Republican opposition leaders
announced that they would offer
an amendment providing for
$500 900 900 loans-instead Of
grants-to States, thus continu-
ing the policy of the last admin
iStration.
Representative Stokes (R0
Pennsylvania, member Of the
banking committee, who was to
offer the amendment, declared
that the Administrations infla-
ton program has affected the
situation.
States and cities will oe able
to collect taxes If prices rise and
thus can assume a greater burden
of providing relief for the needy,
he said.
The bill offers a clear-cut line
of cleavage between Republican
and Democratic forces, and the
Republicans prepared to create an
issue for future political cam
paignS.
Representative Steagall CD Ala
bama, chairman of the Banking
Committee, in charge of the bill,
declared that the new program Of
relief is of vital necessity with
millions unemployed.
Says Nation Must Help
The States and cities, he said,
have almost exhausted their re-
sources and the nation must help.
The bill sets up a Federal re-
lief administration to disburse the
half billion dollar fund. The
money would be provided by the
r. F. c., which in turn would
borrow it from the Treasury.
Half the fund would be used
in matching public contributions
to charity, the Federal Govern
ment giving one dollar for each
three spent by the States and
subdivisions.

cost the Government $4,000, 900

the plans to give employees the
option of retiring or remaining.
Large numbers of Federal

Weapon in Labor Defense

middle class-absolutely essential
in defense struggle. Exposure is
essential TO develop militant OPP
position. The I. L. DIS publication,
the Labor Defender" is as yet
only a monthly organ, while the
struggle proceeds at so swift a pace
that the daily developments which
arise, must obtain daily reflection
in the press in order to carry on
successful campaigns in defense Of
class war prisoners and against
capitalist terror everywhere.
The only medium the I. l.. d.
can completely rely ON is the Daily
Worker. Day in and day out, the
official organ of the Communist
Party has backed the defense
struggles through daily presenta-
ton of the essential facts and by
actual mobilization OF its readers
to support the l. l.. d. fight.
The Daily Worker is the staunch-
est supporter Of the l. L. ID. fight
TO save and win freedom for the
Scottsboro boys and for the young
Negro organizer, Angelo Herndon.
1t has cooperated in every possible
manner in the fight for Mooney
and Billings. The struggle for all
class war prisoners is not only
reflected in the Daily" but is
spured on by the editorial policy.
GCORES Of thousands more of
" workers must be reached by the
defense movement. A considerable
percentage of these are drawn for
ward by the increased agitationa1
and crganizatlonal activities of the
/. l.. D. But this is not sufficient.
The press of the Communist Party
must give every assistance to this
task. And certainly the official
organ, the Daily Worker, which has
given the 1. l.. d. this support,
must be strengthened and built to
lend greater effectiveness to the
defense struggles of the working
class.
The branch and affiliated mem
berShip of the I. L. D. should give
fullest support to the financial
campaign of the Daily" and should
do all in their power to save it

STUDENTS IN Y. C. L.
SCHOOL IN PROTEST

WE, the students of the Young
w Communist League District
Training School protest against the
failure of Comrades Charles Alex
ander, Gil Green, Clarence Hatha-
way, Simon and Rhymer to appear
at lectures at which they were
scheduled and promised to con-
duct. The lectures were to be key
lectures in the training given at
the school. Considering the i'm
portance of the Y. c. l.. District
Training School and the great sac
ritice it costs to run this school we
believe that these actions show
lack of responsibility on the part
OF these comrades and a gross I'M
derestimation on the part of the
Party Of the significance of the
Young Communist League.
Not only did these comrades fail
to appear, but they neglected to
arrange for substitute, thereby
causing waste OF valuable time and
an important part of our training
was lost. Especially in view of
Comrade Stachers recent report to
the membership Of this District of
the Young Communist League
from the Central Committee of the
Communist Party stating that the
Party passed a decision to help the
Y. @. l.. organizationally and ma
terially, we demand that these
comrades be severely censored and
such measures as necessary be
taken to insure against a repetition
Of such responsibility.
We demand that this be pub
lshed in the Daily Worker, Young
Worker and the 'Y. c. L. Builder"
