QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
 Antacid

Is there any harm in taking common baking soda (saleratus) to relieve distress from gas or hyper acidity? (R. D. S.)
 Answer-Yes. 1t is better o>take, prepared chalk (calcium carbon ate) for relief of hyperacidity. Ten grains or so will neutralize excess sive acidity in stomach for several hours, and unlike sodium bicarbon- ate (saleratus, baking soda) chalk does not disturb the acidbase pal ance in the blood and tissues.

ALL OUT TO GARDEN MEET ON GERMANY TONIGHT!
No W ord of
Thaelnann in
Nazi Killings
Another Communist Is
Murdered In Cell
By Nazis

NEW YORK.-Richard Scher-
niger, German officer and former
Nazi who turned Communist, was
reported among those murdered in
the wave of bloody killings during
the past week.
The murder of Scheringer greatly
increases the fear that Enst Thael-
mann, leader of the German Com
munist Party, has been killed in the
bloody wave of Nazi butcheries.
Scheringer was formerly a lieu
tenant in the Reichswehr who was
arrested for spreading Nazi propa-
ganda in the army. While in Jail
he fraternized with Communists and
came to see that the only saliva
ton for Germany lies in the pro-
letarian revolution.
He wrote an open letter to his
rank and file friends in the Nazi
movement calling on them to quit
the Nazi ranks and join with the
Communists.
Scheringer went into hiding when
Hitler came to power but was soon
recognized and jailed.
Only an intensification of the
campaign to free Thaelmann can
keep him from being murdered in
his Jail. Workers are being urged
by the National Committee to Aid
Victims of German Fascism to send

The meeting is regarded by
the Central and District COM
mittees of the Communist
Party as one of the most i'm
portant political events of the
year.
The i'm portance of the
meeting is further enhanced
by the announcement that
one of the chief speakers will
be a leading deputy in the
German Reichstag until the
time of its dissolution by Hit
Ter.
The entire proceeds of the meet
ing will be contributed to the il
legal Communist Party of Germany,
it has been announced, to aid it
in the intensified struggle and
propaganda which German events
of the past few days have made
more necessary than ever.

Mass Pressure Wins
Partial Victory, Fight

PORTLAND, Ore, July 5.-The
mass fight of Negro and white

notable victory this week when
Governor Meier was forced to COM

death sentence against the Young
Negro worker, framed-up by Off
Gals of the Oregon and Pacific
Railroad on a charge of numbering
a railroad dick.
A 30-day reprieve for Jordan was
won several weeks ago, when sew
eral delegations of white and Negro
workers visited the Governor and
other officials with demands for the
freedom of Jordan. At the end of
the S0-day period, Jordan was re-
sentenced to death. The commuta-
ton order of the Governor follows
a campaign of furious protests by
workers throughout the state.
The International Labor Defense,
which has been conducting the de-
Tense, following the betrayal Of
Jordan by local N. A. A. c. P. lead

Nazis Hold Emergency
Congress in
Flensburg
HOMES RAIDED
US. BOndholders Irked
at German-British Pact

BERLIN, July 5.-Hitler's
firing squads again went into
action toda y, as repeated
shootings could be heard at
Lichterfelde, the military post
on the outskirts of Berlin
where wholesale slaughters
have already taken place. No names
of the butchered Nazi officials were
issued; and no list of names of those
shot during the past five days will
ever be published, according to the
Nazi officials.
Faced with a tremendous mass
discomfort, and ominouS rumblings
i'll the rank of the Storm Troopers
and among the disguised middle
class masses who formerly followed
the Fascist rulers, the chief Nazis
called an emergency congress in
Flensburg, on the German-Danish
border. Around 80 delegates were
present, though 10000 of Hitler's
picked soldiers, the Schutzstaffle,
patrolled the streets.
The main questions to be taken up
are the catastrophe crisis facing
Germany, and what further terrorist
measures to take in order to stave
off revolutionary upsurge against
faScism.
Houses in Berlin are being raided
for arms, and other victims for the
EXECUTORS. Won Papen's home
was raided and searched. 1t is now
declared that the Vice Chancellor
will be ousted from his position,
though he will retain his post as
Saar commissioner. Instead of Goe-
ring taking his place, it is stated by
high Nazi officials that Rudolf
Hess, close associate of Hitler, and
his chief advisors, will be made Vice
Chancellor.
