him, the educational director of the
Socialist Party, stated: "One-sixth of
the earth's surface has abolished cap
italism." This was the first indica-
ton of the spirit of the rank and file
and socialist workers at the meeting
and what they were waiting to hear.
All was dull while Heinrich Bar
tel, editor of the deceased Socialist
weekly, VorwartS, spoke-limiting
himself to such wisecracks as THE
socialist child (N1arxism) grew up
with red hair" and making great eff
forts to display his erudition by

Feuerbach and others.
A Surprise Tableau.
Then very interesting thing hap
pened. The Nature Friends ian in
ternational workers nature organiza-
tom, who have participated in many
Communist Party programs, gave a
group of labor tableaus, each tableau
explained by their speaker.
They showed the rise to power of
the proletariat and the destruction
of the bourgeoisie, and in the last
tableau their speaker ended with the
words: you shall only overpower the
bourgeoisie by revolution-NOT BY
THE BALLOT BOX!"
The curtain went down and there
was a moment of silence-it was an
unexpected blow-then suddenly the
workers burst out in thunderous ap-
plauSe-that was what they wanted,
not the soppy words that had been
dished out to them by previous
speakers.
Hoan Worried.
This demonstration made Hoan
very nervous (the writer and Roan
were both backstage), and he began
pacing up and down, alphabetically
saying; Its very cold here" He was
the next speaker.
A few verbatim quotations from
Hoan's miserable speech speak for
themselves: THE Communist Mani
festo was called SO because the word
Socialist was in i'll repute then-but
today the proper name is the Social
list Manifesto
After naively attacking the univer-
sites because they do not teach
MarxiSm, he stated: Young students
here who wish to become really edu-
Gated should join the Socialist Party
and learn Marxism, Which, will en-
able them to confound with superior
knowledge all their university
friends" Sounds like an ad-.
they laughed when I sat down to
play - etc.
Again he harped on intelligence
IF you use your intelligence, up
here in your noodle, not one drop OF
blood will be shed in the overthrow
Of capitalism" Then he proceeded
by inuendo to point out how the Ma
ture Friends had learned how to use
their muscles, etc, but apparently
not their intelligence, and so were
not responsible for their speakers ex-
PLANTATION Of their tableaus.
Then came the amazingly stupid
statement: why, look at Spain
They had a great revolution and not
one drop of blood was sned." (His
authority for this is undoubtedly the

HEARINGS WAITED
UPON 3 PROJECTS
SO North Washington Groups
as Yet Unanswered ON
Works Petition.

A petition for hearings on two public
schools and a library project, which SO
North Washington civic organizatio
week ago addressed to Col. H. M
Waite, director of public works, re-
manned unanswered last night, Edward
r. Williams, chairman of the Joint
Committee Of the petitioning bodies,
said.
The projects on which the 50 bodies
have asked hearings with a view to OBJ
tanning funds for their prosecution were:
Installation of modern heating plants in
II public elementary school houses, con-
Struction Of the Petworth branch Of the
Public Library and construction Of seven
additional class rooms at the Roosevelt
High School.
Women's Clubs Included.
The organizations which signed the
petition for the hearings included citi-
zens' associations. parent-teacher asso-
Citations, business mems bodies and
women's clubs.
Discussing the three projects last
night, Mr.. Williams pointed out that
the heating plant and library items are
immediate work" projects. The heat
ing plants would be for school build
ings now equipped with old-fashioned
and worn-out appliances which, in
many instances, are inadequate to the
task of providing proper temperatures
in the class rooms. The Petworth
Branch Library could be begun at once,
Mr.. Williams said, because the site al
ready Is in the hands of the District.
Need of Class Rooms.
The seven additional class rooms at
Roosevelt High School, Mr.. Williams
declared, are needed to accommodate
the crowds of students who already
have surpassed the capacity" of the
new high school. The rooms, he said,
would afford some relief to Western
High School until the new Woodrow
Wilson High School, proposed for the
Fort Reno section of Chevy Chase. Is
built. He added that the rooms origin
ally were in the design of the Roose-
velt High School, but we're eliminated
in the acceptance of alternate plans in
order to bring the cost of construction
of the school within more economical
limits.

women who we're receiving Christmas
baskets from the Salvation Army that
Christmas wouldn't seem like Christ

around them. And that is the spirit

For the past week the backbone
