starving. They use this as a
means of ridiculing the DAILY"
and give me the razz whenever the
subject is brought up.
Now, Ed, you know that Max is not
starving and that he is not on the
relief list. I am sure that such an
article or statement did not appear
in your column. However, in order
to clear up the question I wish that
you would write to me and either
deny or prove that statement so that
1 can show your letter to the gang
proving that the clipping was not
taken from the Daily In this way
the DAILY" would have more prestige
with the guys that are convinced that
this appeared in it.
Comradely,
Mickey Loncar.
Dear Mickey:
You can hand the berries right
back to your friend. I did write that
Max was third rate pug and ham
actor and if ever you get around to
seeing him from ringside or talking
to him in the dressing room, you'll
know what 7 mean. OF course
nothing was said about starvation or
charity.

Dear Con1rade Newhouse:
Since you are the sports editor of
the Daily Worker I assume that
would do best to make the following
complaint to you
The Labor Sports Union advertised
race (road rum to be held today.
The notices told all athletes to be at
the L.S.U. office at 1:30 p. m. today.
Well, was there at 1870 p. m. I
waited and waited and waited. SO
did the other athletes who were there.
Some time after p. m. we left. Com
rade Mac had charge of this race.
He neither notified the people in the
L.E.U. Office that the race would not
be run, nor did he notify the clubs.
He left no notice anywhere. He
merely did not show up.
Now I think that such conduct is
stupid. There is no excuse for it.
/ wasted an entire afternoon there,
lost the desire to compete and SO did
the other competitors.
This is not the first time this hap
pened and believe that there should
be a shake-up in the Labor Sports

I don't wish to make this letter a
bitter one-although I felt bitter
enough this afternoon--I just wish to
bring the facts to your attention. I
want you to see what you can do
