Instead Of Sending
Doctor; Official of
Bureau Calls Police

NEW YORK.-The six months old
baby girl OF Mr.. and Mrs. VeSco of
1850 Harway Ave, Bath Beach, died
Wednesday, at 2 pm. as a direct re-
suit Of the refusal to consider the
case by the Home Relief Bureau at
25th st. and Benson Ave.
When the unemployed father went
two weeks ago to demand that a doc
tor for the baby be provided, Assist
ant Superintendent Mallon of the
Bureau not only did not send any
doctor, but insulted Vesco, saying.
'Try and get one!" and then called
the police and had Vesco and ten
members of the committee of the
Bath Beach Unemployed Council ar
rested. Their cases are coming up
in Coney Island Court, West Eighth
ST., 8 am, this morning.
Workers are called to attend this
trial, and to march from there to
the Home Relief Bureau, to demand:
l. That the Home Relief pays the
cost of the funeral of Vesco's child
2. That q city doctor be sent at
once TO examine Vesco's second child.
81 months old, which is also sick and
has not had any attention.
8. Sufficient relief to be given to
this and every other family in Brook
lyn TO protect the lives of children.
4. Drive Mallon and the other
stool pigeons out OF the Home Relief
Bureau!
5. Release the workers framed for
demanding relief and a doctor for
Vesco's child.
A year and half ago, Mr.. Vesco
went alone for relief to the Bureau.
and was refused. When he went with
the delegation from the unemployed
council, he got some relief, He was
sick, coughing, and had no overcoat.
Mallon laughed and jeered at him
when he asked for q coat
Starvation, lack of proper food for
both mother and child, was the fun
dsmental cause of the death of the
baby. 1t was understood from hun
ger. had no resistance, and died
quickly.

WORKERS. CHILDREN MURDERED
AS RELIEF BUREAUS CUT FOOD
AND JAIL PARENTS WHO PROTEST
Two Children Dead :
l and Mother Dying,
AS Bureau Cuts Food

NEW YORK.-Two babies murder
ed, the mother and another child,
several months old dying, are the
atrocities committed by the Home
Relief Bureau at 125th st. after it
cut of the families relief.
The dead children, Arthur, aged
.. and Eva, aged three, are listed
as dying of "malnutrition," the cap
italist word for starvation. The third
child and it's mother, Mrs. Gambler
bath Of 1876 Edgecomb Ave, are now
on the verge of death from starva-
ton.
Mrs. McCleary, Negro "reformist'
Of the NAACP brand, and assistant
supervisor of the Bureau, stopped
giving the family food rations last
November when she learned that the
father, Percy Cumberbatch, had got
ten a job at $40 a week in Boston.
Mrs. McCleary closed the case with
much abuse to the family. Since
November the children and mother
wasted away.

NEW YOR K-Persistent CAM

The College Forum, Red Sparks Ath-
letic Club, New Lots Students SYM
postum, and the New Youth Club has
succeeded in getting relief for four
unemployed from the United Jewish
Aid which previously sent back work
ers empty-handed.
In order to bring about better re-
suits in the struggle for relief the
clubs have formed a united front and
have already started their work by
getting relief from the Jewish Social
Service on 1879 Broadway for single
unemployed who were refused any
assistance by the United Jewish Aid
The scanty bit given these workers
consisted of rent money and S. which
was to buy food for a whole week
for three.
To protect the turning away of six
single joblesS workers by the United
Jewish Aid, this United Front called
a mass meeting in front of the office
at Pltkin and Herzl AYES, Brooklyn
today at 10 am. The four clubs have
also called meeting OF all unem-
ployed workers living in the neigh
borhood for Monday at 10 am. at 1888

NEW YORK. 1.-The landlord OF 724,

Fake Tenants, Fake Summons u,
In order to intimidate the strikers
and weaken the militant strike that
has been raging for the past four
weeks at 2O27 Monterey Ave, Bronx,
the landlord has begun to move new
tenants into the house under the
protection Of the police.
Yesterday the Cambreling Unem-

The only attempted murder that the
tenants are aware of is that of two

BIG RENT STRIKE
IN WILLIAMSBURG
Carry Back Furniture;
Thugs, Cops Attack

NEW YORK.-Five workers were
beaten and arrested by a mob OF cops
who had orders to aid in the evic-
ton of tenant at 1872 South Third
Street. in the Williamsburg section
of Brooklyn. The eviction came af-
ter the landlord refused point blank
to accept a rent check that the Home
Relief Bureau offered him.
In the face of the police the te-
nants surrounded the furniture and
carried it back into the apartment.
AT mass meeting Immediately af-
ter the eviction, the police interfered
with the speakers and arrested Char
les Williams, Negro of the Unem-
ployed Council of Williamsburg. The
workers tried to prevent the arrest
but gang of thugs recruited for
the purpose, fighting hand in hand
with the cops, and welding black
jacks and gun butts, were too power
full for the defenseless workers. On
the way to the court to bail out
Williams, one Of a committee of
workers, Ely Simonson, was arrested
and charged with assault and placed
under $500 bail.

The Waterbury Democrat., 1933-12-28
Stream Puri6cation

Months ago when there was first men, tion of the civil works that cities and towns could have done with federal funds the Democrat proposed that some portion be allotted to cleaning up the many small streams in and around Waterbury. We also stated at the time that 1t would be fine plan to link such project with the work of the State Water Commission which is slowly but surely making us conscious of the fact that our state waters are badly polluted and constitute men, ace to the communities of the future.
 This week we learned that Senator Augustine Lonergan of Hartford is even now pushing plans for national stream notification movement. He has just forwarded to President Roosevelt the re- suits of four months study into the ef- fects of stream pollution. While the problem has been largely left up to the individual states, as Senator Lonergan explains in his report, it is certainly one to which the federal government might lend encouragement in material way.
 Senator Lonergan proposes that an act of 1899 be rigidly enforced as beginning of federal interest in stream qualification. This act prohibits the discharge or de- posit in navigable waters of refuse of any sort save that flowing from streets or sewers and that only in liquid form. Such rivers as the Connecticut, Housatonic, and Thames and Long Island Sound would come under this ruling. Sanford Il. Wadhams, director of our State Water Commission, informed Senator Lonergan that proper enforcement of this statute would be of vast help in the move for stream qualification. And he should know.
 Connecticut's progress is slow. Blame that on economic conditions. You can't change to modern sewage system over- night Nor can industry install neutraliz- ing plants when orders are few and small. But we are moving towards the day when our streams will return to their pristine glory. We are competed with New York and New Jersey to preserve the Sound. We are progressing ourselves along san itary lines.. If Uncle Sam now joins the fray it can become reality sooner.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1933-12-28
Much Work Ahead

} The special commission named to con- duct survey of the tax situation In Con- necticut has job on its hands. It must delve into the most intricate set of sys- tems and statutes ever devised, make sense out of them, and report it's findings in time for the 1885 session of the General Assembly. Included in it's report, too, must be suggestions for possible lowering of taxes. If not that then the commission must point out how the real estate owner can shift the burden from his shoulders. We're wondering if in this shift the load may not be lifted from the right to the left shoulder.
 However, we're not trying to throw cold water on the commissions activities. Itis going to contribute wholesome advice to us year from now. Judging by the extent of the material into which it will pry and twist it should be extremely busy for weary months. There will be inter- views with town and city officials There will be much looking into records to ascertain figures. There will be contin- ual comparison of records for successive months, years, etc. In short the entire tax structure of every taxing jurisdiction in the state must be examined.
 A good many people are ignorant of the fact that in Connecticut alone there are 300 districts in which some person pays levies They range from the state itself down to the smallest school or fire district. And all exact their part of the annual per capita tax bill. Perhaps we get full dollars return for every dollar spent, but the concensus of recent years is that the average mans tax bill is too large. It contains too many Implications. In short we're paying for an elaborate system of government for which there is no pressing need.
 Our claim has always been that we have too much government. We ought to eliminate lot of it. That would cut into tax bills. It would also work hardship on the man or woman who is politically inclined and expects to make living in devotion to state or town. Still there are ways of simplifying the tax situation within the reach of any state or con- munity without dropping hundreds from the payrolls. We feel sure that the spe- cial tax commission will reveal some of them. We're anxious for complete suc- cess in rebuilding our tax structure. So is every citizen. Whole-hearted cooper ation will help.

reductions in the quantity manufactured.
 The principal narcotic drug is morphine, a product of opium, of which the total for next year is about 40 tons of morphine, with it's derivatives - codeine, heroin and diodine. There are 1-2 tons of cocaine and few tons of minor drugs The lead ing national consumers rank as follows in order of consumption: United States, France, Germany, Japan, Russia, Italy, Canada and China. The last of these still consumes large quantities of crude opium for non-medicinal purposes.
 In all of the countries, no doubt, much of the supposedly medical narcotics is diverted to illicit use by drug addicts. The total production is valued, wholesale, at about S15,O00,00O. At the prices charged to addicts by drug racketeers, it might bring $1,000,000,O00. The Geneva con trol board has big job ahead of it in cutting down that deadly diversion of drugs from purposes of mercy to those of pleasure and destruction.

HISTORY

The listers in the year 1730 for the tax list were John Scovill, James Porter and Samuel Hick cox, largely written by Porter, with g. semblance of the hand of MT Southmayd, the minister. An in- teresting notation of the list at this time is outlined in Anderson's history. There are one hundred taxpayers listed who paid taxes for one hundred and twenty-five persons. In addition a hundred men had the ownership of num- Der of horses. cows, cattle, oxen and swine.
 Dwelling houses were not taxed, and 1t is hard to determine the number existing at this time, and too, 1t was the custom to build houses on the land not necessar- fly belonging to the builder. The year 1731 shows twenty-three new names on the list (tax). That same year at the town meeting it was voted to build school-house twenty feet square on the Meet ing House green, and to pay MT Southmayd, the minister, one hum dred pounds in money or pay in provisions at the market price.

A Book a Day by BRUCE CATION
Roscoe Discusses Literature Again

The many readers who enjoyed Burton Rascoe's "Titans of Liter ature" are apt to be more or less disappointed by his new book, "Prometheans."
 Here we have a new series of commentaries on some of the great figures of the worlds liter ature; but the commentaries seem thin, for the most part, and the book lacks the solidity of it's predecessor. It looks, in fact, re- markedly like a pot-boiler.
 This is not to say that it is un- interesting. Mir Rascoe's writing always is lively. He is very skill full at conveying the notion that literature is one of the most ex citing and rewarding fields open to human study.
 that "Prometheans" would have been lot better if it's author only had taken more time at it.
 It is a diverse assortment of authors that MT Rascoe discusses Lucian, Dreiser, Cabell and others. Io tHlS IevteWer HolioH HIS chapter on Dreiser is the best thing in the book.
 He makes the point, for in- stance, that it was not Dreiser's outspokenness on sexual matters that brought him public disap- proval, so much as it was his blunt refusal to swallow the myth that equality of opportunity and complete individual freedom still exist in industrial America. And in discussing Dreiser's s much talked-of literary style, he points out that practically every thing that has been said about it also has been said about the literary style of Balzac. "Prometheans" is published by Putnam for $2.75.

World Narcotic Control

For the first time commercial product has been brought under worldwide con- trol and limitation. The League of Ma tions announces national quotas for all the dangerous narcotic drugs allowed for medicine in 1884 in every inhabited region of the earth. This is not a mere bluff, either. Although the supervisory board charged with this duty has no authority to change country's own estimates of the quantity it needs, yet by inquiry and per- suasion it has already made considerable
