There is considerable specula- ton along Radio Row as to wheth- CT the Columbia Broadcasting Sys- tenn is grooming some one to take the place of Tony Wons, who re- gently severed hic connection with them. They have been giving Walter Pitkin, the Columbia uni- versitv professor, a grand build-up but his comments are too peda- go0ical to be cIassed with the homespun, intimate style of Wons. Imitators of Tony have been numerous, but it is a tribute to the fellow that none has attained fame equal to his. Meanwhile, Tony is vacationing at his Wis consin camp, refusing to admit whether he will sign with NEG for series of scrapbook broadcasts, in addition to the House by the Side of the Road," which he will start Sunday, September 2nd.
 Jack Denny, the orchestra
 leader, is on his vacation, but
 he seems to be spending bus
 mans holiday. He returns to
 N. Y. every Wednesday to di-
 rect the orchestral portion of
 the (COnOcO) oil program. Af-
 ter the broadcast, he visits
 various hotel spots where
 other orchestra leaders are
 featured. incidentally, there is
 very little rivalry between Or-
 chestra leaders in New York.
 Most of them are good friends.
 Because the Landt Trio and White are sponsored by a taxi company on a WEAF program, the rumor has cropped up that they are former taxi drivers. The boys deny that, though Dan Landt used to drive a truck once and is proud of it. Ths persons who started the rumor were probably thinking of two other fellows-Paul WhitemaR and Abe Lyman who were taxi chauffeurs once.

Freddy Prince to Sponsor OId-Fashioned
Point-to-Point Race As Closing Event
Of Warrenton Hunt Meet

Freddy Prince, hard-riding fol.
lower Of the Warrenton pack,
says, apropos the awarding Of the
brush after kill, that things are
done differently in France, where
his father, F. H. Prince, ST.. is
Master of the Pau Hounds.
In France. according to Freddy,
when one is presented with the
brush, a present Of 100 francs
must be given to the huntsnlan.
and, likewise, the recipient of the
mask is expected to donate so
francs. Consequently. when any
OF the old-timers are in at the
kill, they norchalantly walk their
horses over the nearest hill to
avoid acceptance Of either trophy
Incidentally, Freddy wants to
give two cups for a real old-faSh-
toned point-to-point race Of 10
miles. His idea is to stage the
race Immediately after the con-
Guiding hunt of the Warrenton
Hounds. This idea will cause no
ond Of interest, as these were the
kind Of races the old sports al,
ways staged here in Virginia-in
the Spring-after the hunting sea-
son, when mounts were fit as
could be. Starting and finishing
points were designated the night
before the race.
Mr.. Prince suggests one race
for individuals and one for mixed
teams" each composed Of a man
and woman who regularly ride
to the hounds with an organized
hunt.
Loudoun Hounds met Satur-
day at Winners Gate, drew west
on Mr.. winners farm, and started
q fox Immediately. Ran onto Mr.
Farrar's farm, and from there
right on to Mt. Gilead, where the
fox went to ground after run Of
one and a half hours.
LeeSburg's fox hunting juriSt.
Judge Alexander, was acting
master, in the absence Of Mr..
LipScomb.
Whips were Miss Nancy Rust
and Bob Riticor.
Several young girls were out
for their first hunt, among them
Miss Betty Gibson and her guest,
Miss Louise Lyon, OF Durham,
N. c., and Miss Catherine Mil
Ter. It was also WinSlow Viii

Among those in the field of Is
were Miss Anna Hederick, of

$40 o. Week
Pay at Lane
Cotton Mil
BY a Worker Correspondent

NEW ORLEANS, lathe Lane
Cotton Mill has got its speedup and
stretchout about as perfect as it is
possible to make it. Not only are
the employees compelled to do more
work than they should, but they
are blamed because sometimes the
looms and other machines get out
Of order. 1t is not the fault of the
loomfXers and weavers that looms
get out of order nor is it the fault
Of any other operator.
Mr.. Hickman, the superintendent,
tells the people that anyone can
live on SIS a week, and that is all
that most of them get. The mill is
now and has been for the last three
or four weeks running 10 hours per
week, and under the blue buzzard' s
Code Of 30 cents an hour the people
get the magnificent sum of $40
on pay day.
The Lane Cotton Mill employees
have swallowed the mush of their
master for so long that they are
almost starving. Some of the mill
hands have large families, and quite
number have some of their kin
folks with them. In some families
are aged and infrm men and
women who have spent their lives
Shaving for the benefit of the cotton
mill barons, and now that they are
old and in the eyes of the indus
trialist useless, they are not given
any consideration whatever.

Synagogue Head
Eyicts Member
BY a Former Business Man

NEW YORK; was a business
man for the last 20 years. I man
aged to get along until last June.
[ never refused credit on food to
anybody, therefore I was forced out
OF business and went to work last
June.
In July I had an accident and
was disabled to the extent that 1
cannot work in my line as a but
cher any more. However. I man
aged to get along until last month.
For the first time in my life I did
not have the amount of s35 rent
due to the Sahoff Corp, of 40 Wall
ST, owners of 1874 apartment houses.
l tried to get in touch with the
president, Mr. Schneider, but was
not granted the privilege. So nv
furniture was thrown out into the
street, and my home broken up by
my own synagogue brother and
president of the synagogue, where
we prayed together.
I phoned my grievance to the N.
Y. Journal, as I was a reader of that
paper, and they promised to take
the matter up, but did not, and
therefore am writing to you that
you expose this matter to the
people.
If I had been given chance of
one or two more days, there would
be no home broken up. 7 would
not have to sleep in the park, and
the landlord would be in the rent,
and the apartment not empty.

Held AS LunatiC
For Being Sick and
Having No Home
By q WORKER CORRESPONDENT

NEW YORK.-Three weeks ago
I got fever and went to the New
York Hospital, where I got a medi-
cine which did its work; 7 went
back, was given a spinal test, and
was unable to stay in bed at home,
because I have no home, and I was
told I had to be in bed. So I went
back to the hospital, where I re-
manned for two days, and then they
sent me out with five cents carfare
to go to Bellevue.
Before I got to Bellevue I tainted
in the street. Two men assisted me
as far as the hospital, where I lay
down on bench. The man at the
desk refused to believe that I could
not walk. When I told him my case,
he answered that I was lying. They
made a blood test, which was mega
tive, and for three days in success
sion the doctors tried to send me
home. On the third day they took
the bed away and told me to go
home. I collapsed on the floor, and
they called me a liar.
When I protested, they called
another doctor who claimed that I
was lunatic, and they sent me to
a psychopathic ward where I stayed
for three days. 7 was then released
and told that unless I kept away l
would be sent to Welfare Island.

Strikers Protest
Augustine Assault

NEW YORK. Thirty strikers of
Nathan's Famous, Inc, of Coney
Island, accompanied by William
Beale, organizer, and Charles
Oberkerch, organizer of the
Brooklyn Local of the Food Work
ers Industrial Union, went to see
Mayor LaGuardia Monday to
protest against the brutal assault
last week by detectives, on Patsy
Augustine, militant strike leader.
Over 1000 workers demon
strated in front of Nathan's Sun
day night, and as spectators booed
police who arrested ten workers,
nine for violating terms of an in
junction against picketing, and
one for refusing to move when
police pushed into the crowd.
The National Committee for the
Defense of Political Prisoners sent
letters to the Mayor and Com
missioner Organ demanding
lineup of detectives and police,
so that Augustine may pick out
his assailants; demanding that fe-
loniouS assault charges against
him be dropped and that criminal
assault charges be placed against
the police

Jerusalem Artichokes

Marigold; The Jerusalem arti-
choke is a tuber (like a potato and
is entirely different from the better
known Globe artichoke, which is a,
bud. Jerusalem artichoke, or GRID
sole, or topinanbourg, is a native Of
the United States and has nothing
to do with Palestine. We have no
objections to your proposal to adopt
it as the national Jewish vegetable,
except that poole will laugh at you.
From the medical point of view Je-
rusalem artichoke is a very whole
some and nutritious food which
should be used more commonly. 1t
is popular article in the diet Of
Europe. Owing to the fact that the
tuber stores its carbohydrates in
the form of inulin and that it con-
tains 1912 per cent levulose, we
prescribe it to patients suffering
from diabetes; but it is hard to OBJ
tain in New York markets. The
vegetable is very prolific; the Mann
moth White French Jerusalem ar.
tichoke being known to yield as
much as IS tons per acre, while you
can rarely get more than three tons
per acre of ordinary potatoes. Ex-
periments are now being conducted
in Russia on using Jerusalem arti-
choks as a source of industrial al.
cohol.

might not be deportable subject.
After this investigation your men
reluctantly decided that I was en-
titled to work sufficiently to earn
So worth Of groceries per month.
Unfortunately just then your ad-
ministration saw fit to adopt a new
policy, which required a more thor
ough and more humiliating new in
vestigation. And your inquisitors
promptly swoOped down upon me.
Profound interest was taken in my
religion, social and labor sffilia-
tons, and my political convictions.
Like fool that I was. I told your
people the truth and nothing but
the truth. 7 confided to them that
my home was burdened with a $500
mortgage and that I was in arrears
with interest, taxes and installments,
and I gave them the names and
addresses of all my creditors.
Studying my case, your hirelings
at the Clallam County headquarters
decided that I was not sufficiently
meek; or, perhaps, that my en-
thusiasm for the New Deal was
somewhat tame; and so they set
forth to besmirch my character be-
fore my creditors; and also to coax
the holder, of my mortgage to fore
close upon me Immediately. I hope
that this experience of mine will
serve as a lesson to other workers
so that the next welfare" rat that
ventures to sniff around their bean
and teapots will be handled with
the spirit of rs.
