The idea that it also holds the key

comes from lingo w. D. Hackh and

found already that living things tend
to store heavy water, getting it in
minute amounts from all ordinary
water.
Also that heavy water slows down
chemical reactions. In the body. the
San Franciscoans suggest, this would
account for the sluegishness of pro-

The Music League and
Lenin Memorial Meets

Editor. The Daily Worker:
We are surprised to discover several
errors in the reporting OF the Lenin
memorial meetings, which you pub
Ished in Mondays issue.
The Workers Music League was
asked by the New York District Of the
Communist Party to cooperate In
these Lenin memorial demonstrations,
the greatest Lenin meetings ever held
by the Party The Workers Music
League mobilized all its af1iliates to
participate in all these memorial
meetings.
All the leagues choruses partici-
pated. All, the Bronx choruses sang
at the Coliseum (Which you failed to
include in your story; the Manhattan
ehoruses (not, as you said in your
story, the Daily Worker Chorus,
which included others besides the
Daily Worker Chorus, sang at the st.
Nicholas Arena, and all the Brooklyn
choruses sang at the Arcadia Hall.
At the Coliseum, the workers club
bands affiliated with the League
played; at the st. Nicholas Arena the
w. I. r. Band played, and at the
Arcadia Hall the Freiheit Mandolin
Orchestra played
This music section Of the Lenin
meetings had q stirring effect on the
audiences, and we feel that the Work
ers Music League and all its sff1listes
which participated in this program
should get the proper recognition.
