CHICAGO, March 8 Q.N.S0.
The body Of Chicago's martyred
mayor, Anton Cermak, arrived
here today from Florida where
Giuseppe Zangara's bullet, in
tended for President Roosevelt,
took the life Of the city'S chief
executive.
Chicago began a three-day trib-
ute of sorrow to the slain mayor
as the flag draped bronze casket
was taken from a nine-car Spe-
cial train at 10 a. m. Sorrow
ing thousands stood at the sta
ton as the cortege moved away.
The body was taken to the
Cermak home where it will re-
main until tomorrow. 1t will
then lie in state at the city hall.
Funeral services will be held Fri
day at the Chicago Stadium.
Col. Campbell B. Hodges, senior

Public Hearing for Property

A public hearing will be given
property owners in the Takoma
Park area who believe their new
assessments are unfair, the meet
ing to convene at 10 a. m. to-
morrow at Rockville before the
board Of assessors and the board
Of county commissioners.
The Takoma American Legion
Post and the Community League
have served notice that they will
investigate all charges Of assess
ment discrepancies.
The new assessing system, au-
thorized at the last session of the
Maryland legislature and used
for the first time this year, has
reduced more assessments than it
has raised, declared Hempton
Griffith, head of the assessing
board. He said:
Heretofore all Montgomery
county assessing has been low,
yet now, although the law pro-
videS for assessing up to the
full cash value, we have taxed
properties generally at go per
cent of their value.
"Where discrepancies were
found under the old system, we
have made corrections to bring
all to a general level. More
have been reduced than
raised"

CHANGES MARX
WHITE HOUSE

It usually takes housewives
days and days and sometimes
months to get settled in new
homes. But not so, Mrs. Anna
Eleanor Roosevelt.
Her new home in the White
House in the few short days that
she. has occupied it, is a miracle
of changes and shifts, so much
so that there are those who say
that her predecessor wouldn't
even recognize some of the rooms.
Offices in the huge establish
ment have been turned into bed
rooms to make sleeping places
for the large Roosevelt family,
which besides the Mr.. and Mrs.
include five children and four
grandchildren.
The Monroe room, tradition
with President after President,
has been transformed into a sit
ting room done in Mrs. Roose-
velt's own blue velvet furniture.
And the Lincoln study is no
longer the Presidents study.
With its green grass rug and
ornamental bird cages it is now
an early American suite.
Ava Long, custodian house
keeper with the Hoovers, stood
by for a while to introduce Mrs.
Henry Nesbitt, the new house
keeper, to the traditional trades

PRQBERS READY.
To REPORT ON
UNIVERSITY
Salary Cuts and Elimination
of Demonstration Work
to Be Recommended

ANNAPOLIS, Md, March 8.
The senatorial investigation OF
the University of Maryland will
be ended within the next day or
two and recommendations for
economies at the college made to
the senate, it was announced to-
day by Senator Milton L. Veasey,
of Worcester county. Senator
Veasey heads an investigation
committee.
The committee probably will re-
strict their recommendations for
cuts to within the total cuts ad-
vocated by Governor Ritchie in
his revised budget. The college,
under the budget reductions,
would lose $466,00O year in
State grants.
It is expected that the COM
mittee will limit itself to recon-
mending salary cuts and the
elimination of the county and
home demonstration agents.

NEW YORK PLAN

Executive ConsuItS Roosevelt;
Wants Small Banks Cow
cred in U. S. Plan

The State of Maryland will is
sue scrip despite the decision OF
the Government not to authorize
It on a national basis, Governor
Albert C. Ritchie indicated today
following a conference with Presi'
dent Roosevelt. Governor Ritchie
said:
The situation is changing
from hour to hour in Maryland,
and elsewhere, but at present
there still is a need for scrip.
We will probably follow the New
York plan, approved by their
legislature under Governor Leh-
man."
Plea for Small Banks
Governor Ritchie came here
primarily to urge that Federal
plans take into account many
small banks which are removed
from the reserve money centers
Of the country. He explained:
81 am informed the plans
contemplate the issue of clear
ing house certificates in the
various communities. This neces-
ssarily includes the reserve
money Centers. Of the country
where the policy of the clear
ing houses is largely and often
entirely controlled by liquid
METROPOLITAN banks.
'"These banks will in great
measure decide the class of
security against which the
certificates may be issued.
"There are thousands of
town and rural banks which
are not members of the metro
pOIitan clearing houses, and
which may not be able to
purchase the clearing house
certificates either because Of
such nOn-me1nbership or be-
cause clearing houses specify a
more liquid grade of collateral
securities than these town and
- rural banks possess.
WANTS PEOPLE PROTECTED
''My plea is that the federal
plan take into account and give
these banks q chance to live
now, and if sound national
policy cOntempIateS suppIanting
them in the future, that at
least this be done in a way
which assures no unnecessary
loss to the people whose. homes
and livelihood and savings
depend upon them"

members of the commission or
anyone else connected with the
faction supporting the commits
sion; that everything will come
out better than expected.
The other faction states: that
the motto of the United States is
I'm God We Trust" that the
American people ultimately are
going to demand some sort OF
checks and balances on the mo-
tives of men and commissions,
even if the commissions are those
of an educational nature: that
the American people must con-
tinue their fight to have the
peoples representatives trust
only God in such an important
matter as the battle Of National
ism VS.. Internationalism.
Regardless of the particular
philosophical setting in which we
paint our national educational pic
ture, all signs point to a merry
war among educators of America,
a war which has been forecast as
one which will spread until it in

Many feel that the country and
it's people should decide imme'
diately what they want done in
this matter. Members of Con
gress urge that citizens write to
Representatives and Senators,
State, county and city and town
officials, telling those representa-
tives just what citizens want done
in this matter. All seem agreed
that the time has arrived for
a. showdown, and both sides seem
willing to meet the issue now.
Motives Questioned
The present so-called "athletic
scholarship" regulation of the
Middle States Association is based
on Bulletin % Of the Carnegie
Foundation for the Advancement
of Teaching. This regulation has
brought on the squabble within
the association.
Regardless of the motives Of
the division of educational in
uuiry of the Carnegie Foundation
for the Advancement of Teach
ing, when it undertook the survey
out of which came Bulletin %
numbers of educators and athletic
directors and coaches throughout
the nation believe that the
foundation of the bulletin lies ir
pacifistic tenets.
Citizens Must Decide
The facts have been presented
in this series Of articles, and II
is now a matter for citizens Of
the United States to decide fol
themselves. what they want done
and how to do it.
If it is true that education re-
fleets the wants and the desires
of the people, education probably
will be instructed by the people
in relation to the part education
shall play in disposing of the
matter.
It is entirely possible, even prob
able, albeit not certain, that the
people will awaken to their re
sponsibilities in the matter al
hand. It remains to be seen just
what can and will be done.
Any answer to the question
what will or can be done?" only
may be a prophecy at best.

to halt alleged political activities
of various foundations, endoW.
ments, associations and organiza-
tions is not making much head
way due to lack of interest on
the part of national legislators
and citizens.
One reason advanced for this
condition is that most members
of both House and Senate are
'sold" on the idea of the United
States entering the Permanent
Court, the League, a World
Union of Nations or a Mother
Country Empire.
Another reason advanced is
that members of House and Sen
ate, either Willingly or unwit-
tingly have come under the sub
sidizing spell of internationalists,
and find themselves either afraid
to go against their "bosses" or
unwilling to do so for other
reasons.
It is known that some State
and Federal Government officials
are also connected with various
endowmentS. foundations. organi-
cations and associations as Off
GERS or members of boards or in
other capacities, as are various
noted educators and members of
boards of trustees of various COL
leges and universities of the coun-
try.
Apparent to Many
That the athletic scholarship
regulation is anything but an ath-
letic proposition seems apparent
to many, who state their beliefs
without hesitation.
The faction supporting the
commission in the latter's stand
says that all must have supreme
faith, trust and confidence in

anyway; i.e., to finance capital,
banks, etc. Farmers will be at even
a greater disadvantage in buying
industrial products, monopolist prices
of which are sharply rising. The
allotment plan is used to attempt
TO divide the workers from the
farmers and set them in sharp
rivalry. The masses, including the
farmers, pay all the bills.
Military and naval preparations:
The wild commercial war on the
wo1Sd markets, sharpened to an
enormous degree by the falling value
of the dollar, has already disrupted
the London Economic Conference
and brought all the imperialist an
tagonisms to a critical point. The
government which carries out this
bandit policy abroad, while driving
down the living standards of the
masses at home, should logically go
heavily armed. An inevitable part
Of the New DEAL is, therefore,
tremendous building of new battle

some favorite capitalists; d. it takes

ployed workers out of the cities where
they Constitute a danger to law and
order" and places them under mill
tary control; e) it sets up a military
reserve of human cannon fodder, al
ready being trained for the coming
war.
But the provisions OF the Indus
trial Recovery Act regarding labor
provide much more large-scale eff
fort at indirect Authorization of la
Dor, though in a different form from
the forced labor camps In the indus
tries the effort is to establish semi
military regime under government
fixed wages, compulsory arbitration
of all disputes with the government
as arbitrator, abolition Of the right
to strike and of independent organ
ization of the workers. These things
are to be achieved through the "in-
dustrtal codes" worked out by the
employers and given the force of
law by the signature of Roosevelt,
and supported when and where-nec-
essary by the ALL. and the So
cialist Party who have already en-
tered Fundamentally into this pretty
scheme.
In the labor section OF the New
Deal program is to be seen the clear
est examples of the tendencies to
fascism. This is an American version
of Mussolini's cooperative state"
special state-controlled labor unions
closely tied up with and under the
direction of the employers. Here we
have also the sharpest American ex-
ample of the role of the Socialist
Party and trade union bureaucracy as
social fascists," as bearers among
the masses of the program of fascism,
as those who pave the way for the
establishment of fascist control over
the workers. For the working class,
the Industrial Recovery Act is truely
an industrial slavery act. 1t Is one
of the steps towards the mintariza-
ton of labor. 1t is forerunner Of
American fascism.
In another article, we will take up
the question of how the workers can
fight against the New Deal.

gases and explosives, new tanks
and other machinery of destruction
for the army, new military roads,
increase of the armed forces, and
increased salaries for the officers.
Industrial recovery" is fastened by
working the war industries overtime.
Such war preparations have never
been seen since 1917.
Militarization of labor: The most
direct and open part of the program
for naturalization of labor is the
forced labor camps with the dollar
a-day wage. Already some 100000
workers are in these camps. This
forced labor has several distinct
aims: ca it sets the standard of
wages towards which the capitalists
will try to drive free" labor every
where; it smashes the tradition of
the old wage scales; (b) it begins to
break up the system of unemploy-
ment relief and establishes the duty
to work in order to receive relief
allowances; g it furnishes cheap la
Dor for government projects and for
