DOG TAG SALES
BOOM HERE

People fail to turn in their
personal tax returns by the thou
sands, but they pay strict atten-
ton when the tax collector yells:
BUY your dog tags or the
mutt goes to the sound"
Today. one day after Tax Col.
lector Towers issued his final
warning, the whole tax gathering
machinery of the District gov
ernment is turned over to the
business of issuing dog tags,
Every window where every other
sort of tax is paid and every
kind of license is issued was
manned today by a clerk taken
off other work and instructed to
issue tags until the last dog
owner appeared with his or
her So.
You couldn't do business with
the District government today,
with respect to taxes, unless it was
a dog tag you were after. Long
lines of boys and girls, men and
women, old and young, filled the
corridors OF. the District Buildings
main floor and hoped earnestly
that they would get that little
metal tag before the poundmaster
and his ominous crew got around
to their neighborhood. For the
deadline came at midnight last
night. The open season for un-
tagged dogs starts today.

Eagle Flies
High On First
Birthday

It's the Blue Eagles birth
day.
A year ago today, the pic
torial symol of the nations
drive towards recovery made
its first appearance.
On August /. 1888, a drive
began which was carried on by
$500 volunteer local committees
and within a month the eagle
symbol was one of the most
familiar of sights.
Under direction of the local
committees, 100000 employers
and 6O,0OO,OOO consumers
pledged cooperation. A state
ment from NRA headquarters
on the Blue Eagles anniversary
said:
"The next few weeks should
see 100 per cent of all Amer
ican industry and trade CO.
operating under the permanent
symbol of the Blue Eagle for
their own and the common
welfare"

ing on the notices today, declared
there was little possibility of any
drastic cuts in the ranks of en-
ployes. One official said, how
yer:
"Of course, these things will
be 'tapered down. just like the
CWA and other things. A few
persons will be laid off at a
time, but don't think they will
start this for some time. Re-
member, we still have a full
years work ahead of U.S."
Work to Continue
Another official had this to say:
''It is true that the PWA and
FERA StaffS will have to be re.
duced materially next year, but
there probably will be any num-
ber of employees kept on in both
organizations. There will be
work to do for a long time"
Officials of the NRA declared
today no such notice had been
given NRA employees, although the
National Industrial Recovery Act
expires next year also.

c. c. c, STRIKE
ENDS QUICKLY

More than 100 members Of the
Civilian Conservation Corps camp
at Beltsville, Md, were back at
work today after a brief walkout
yesterday for more food.
The strike was called in the
late afternoon by a group Of
some 80 or 40 who told Capt.
Walter Summers, camp director,
that they wanted more food.
Work on the project was tied up
for the rest of the day.
Captain Summers said the walk.
out was not a question of shorter
hours, as had been reported, but
merely the problem of obtaining
more food for the men. Captain
Summers said there was no fault
found with the quality Of their
rations.
The men are employed in the
construction of the enlargement
Of the agriculture experimental
station at Beltsville.

NO JOBS" SIGN
At INTERIOR

Applicants for positions with
the new Federal Housing Admin
istration have so besieged the per-
Sonnel office of the Interior De-
partment that signs were placed
today at all entrances to the
building declaring applications will
be received only at Room 6347 in
the new Post Office Building.
In the past week, it was esti-
mated today, more than 500 per-
sons had called at the Interior
employment office seeking posi-
tions with the new emergency
unit.
Officials said today applicants
were evidently confused by the
fact the Interior Department does
have a housing program, but en-
phasized that no employment is
available there.

John Beeler, nationally known
traffic expert, is expected by the
Public Utilities Commission Aug
ust 7, as a preliminary to gen.
eral hearing on street car re-rout-

Radical changes in routing will

Detective stories are the last
thing detective reads when he is
not detecting.
Detective Sergt. George E. Dar-
nall, head Of the homicide squad
of the District, admits he has
started to read few Of them but
never found one sufficiently inter-
esting to finish.
The plots, he says, are too far
fetched.
They don't make sense. Any
detective who acted as one of
those birds does would never get
his man except by accident. He
might bump into him in the
dark, but he'd never get him any
other way"
Likes "FunnieS" Best
Sergeant Darnall reads the
newspapers; the "funnies" first,
and then the news. outside of
that, he says, he doesn't find
much time to read.
Story-book detectives only get
a grin out of Sergeant Darnall.
Says he:
"WOuld have one of 'em on
my force? Say, are you kidding
me? We got work to do"
Capt. Rhoda Milliken, of the
Woman's Bureau, says she isn't
a detective. Just a cop" But
she doesn't read detective stories.
When she has time to read any
thing, she prefers tales of adven-
lures on the high seas. Her heroes
are sailors, not policeman.

A Real Test

THE parade and demonstration against
Il war and fascism to be held tomorrow
will be an event of outstanding impor-
lance and tremendous scope. Called by
the American League Against War and
Fascism, this rally has already enlisted
the support and the promise of participa-
ton Of hundreds of varied groups-reigious, poll
teal cultural, social trade union. All are united
however, one main and indispensable point
their common determination to fight the militarist
slaughter which threatens the world today.
This danger looms giantlike as the forces Of
reaction-of dying capitalism, of fascism-nove to-
ward their last, desperate stand willing to plunge
all mankind into barbarism to save themselves and
the rotting system they represent from its inevi-
table defeat
The huge united front demonstration which will
begin at 1 pm. tomorrow at Columbus Circle and
march to Madison Square will be one Of all organ
izations and individuals sincerely and honestly OPP
posed to the war and death mongers. Those groups
which have already decided to join should be repre-
sented by their entire memberships Other organi-
cations which have not yet joined in this mighty
movement should do so at once.
With Europe an armed camp ready for war
with the introduction Of fascist methods on a wide
scale here in America the historic significance and
life-and- death urgency Of tomorrows demonstration
cannot be minimized.
Participation in the demonstration will be real
initial test Of the sincerity willingness and deter
mination of many groups to act-as well as speak
against fascsm and war.

The Mayors Gesture

MAYOR LaGUARDIA has announced the
IVA withdrawal of his administration at
tempt to foist fascist-registration scheme
on the trade unions, move which was
intended to crush the entire trade union
movement in this city.
The mayors statement is not volun-
tary one He was literally forced to rescind this
reactionary order under the terrific protest-pressure
by the unions by the thousands Of militant workers
in the various unions ranks
But this withdrawal is merely formal verbal
gesture. BY no means does it signify any "purif-
cation" Of the VIGOROUSLY anti-abor Fusion regime
Proof of this exists in the fact that the Mayor has
made no move against the newly-formed police
rifle regiment, which has its avowed purpose
the training of guns on workers. This regiment of
1900 rife-equipped policemen continues 10 train
for whatever bloody deeds the administration calls
1t to perform.
1t should be noted that the mayor did not rescind
the union-registraton order until mass pressure
made him break his silence, his tacit approval of
the measure.
The best proof of LaGuardia's real intentions
and of the fact that his statement is nothing
but his usual empty demagogy is that the terrorism
against New York workers and jobless, so charac-
teristic Of his brutal regime, continues undated

The Revolution Rises in
Germany

UINDENBURG is dead. There is little
Ill need to waste any time over the nau-
seating heroics with which the bourgeois
press, including the American papers,
are surrounding the figure of linden
burg.
His sole claim to historic notice was
an undertaking serviity to his ruling class masters
The ruling class of Germany the industriahsts,
the tunkers the militarists dangled this Prussian
militarist before the masses as "personnying Ger
many" as political figure above the class struggle
In this deceit they were aided by the leadership
OF German Social-Democracy which crowned its
loyalty to the German bourgeois state by choosing
Hindenburg as their candidate for president in
preference to a working class candidate such as
Ernst Thselmann in the elections OF 1880.
This Prlssan iunker -militarist let it never be
forgotten by the working class Of the world, was
hailed not only by the German Socialist Party,
but by Norman Thomas as the buiwark against
fascism, as the defender Of democracy!
Hindenburg is the symbol which brands forever
the policy Of Social-Democracy, the policy of the
lesser evil" the policy Of paving the way for
faScsm through accepting the steady advance Of
fascism in the name Of democracy" the policy OF
coalition with bourgeois parties on the peaceful
road to Socialism"

growing political crisis in the fascist dictator
ship of the German bourgeoisie. The spectre OF
proletarian revolution drives the fascist ciques to
ever more desperate acts. The glorious Bolshevik
work Of the German Communist Party the Party
of Thaelmann, steadily and surely bears its fruit
in the growth of the forces of revolution.
The bourgeois press speaks Of Hitler "seizing
more power" through taking Hindenburg's Office.
On the contrary, the taking Of Hindenburg's office
weakens not strengthens Hitlers position since it
removes one possibility for political maneuver
and deception of the masses,
Hindenburg's death increases the difficulties in
Germany's foreign relations which have been
brought to the breaking point by Nazi policies
The growing political crisis Of the German bour-
geoisie will drive them to even more murderous
savagery against the masses than ever before, but
this will even more the base of fascist rule.
The fascist ruling class of Germany finds its
mass basis contracting under the impact of the
deepening crisis and the blows which the toiling
masses, led by the Communist Party, are directing
against its bloody rule.
NOW more than ever, it is duty to give of
our aid and solidarity to the German proletariat
in the fight against fascism. The fight to liberate
Thaelmann and all anti-fascst prisoners is also
the fight to smash fascism to Iberate not only
Thselmann but the entire German toiling popula-
ton from the yoke Of fascism
Hindenburgs death means new revolutionary
storms. The German Bolsheviks, trained by Thael-
mann, have never left their posts Supported by
the proletaria of the world they will wipe fascism
off the face Of the earth.
