CIean-P Week
Boosted by
Sen. King
BY SENATOR w. H. KING
Chairman, Senate District
Committee

AS our nations Capital, Wash
ington is uniquely gifted by the
presence here of historic puolic
buildings and monuments which
are known to every school child
Of our country and which are re-
produced daily in hundreds Of
thousands of newspapers through
out the world.
Because of these attractions
great crowds of our fellow coun-
trymen are drawn to Washington
every year and from their visit
here they derive new faith in
our American democracy and q
new stimulus to patriotism and
good citizenship.
AS residents Of this beautiful
Capital City we enjoy great privi-
leges and these privileges carry
with them equally important re-
SponSibilities which we must as
sumo as good citizens and as in
dividual home and proper
owners.
Clean Up Week is designed to
stress our personal responsibility
for civic cleanliness. There are
many ways in which this obliga-
ton can be discharged: BY the
removal of accumulationS Of
trash and rubbish in homes and
outbuildings, by repairs and re-
painting, and by the planting Of
trees and flowers in our front
yards and gardens.
The District Commissioners
have officially proclaimed the pc
riod from May to IL for OBJ
servance as Clean Up Week. This
gives all of us the opportunity to
put forth renewed efforts to do
our part as individual citizens to
make washington the cleanest as
well as the most beautiful city in
the world.

IS DENIED
DEPOS|T0R

Right Of the Comptroller of the
Currency to refuse permission for
an examination of a closed banks
books to a depositor while the
institution is in the orderly pro-
cess Of liquidation was upheld by
the District Court of Appeals yes
terday.
The ruling was made in the
case of Mary Rasmussen, who
petitioned a mandamus against
the Comptroller and the receiver
of the Northeast Savings Bank.
She alleged that she had $65 "a on
deposit in the bank at the time
it closed, and was entitled to ex-
anime the books to determine the
amount of her claim. The Dis
trict Supreme Court refused to
issue a writ and the decision was
upheld by the higher court.
The petitioner was represented
by Jesse c. Duke. At the time Of
filing the suit, an affidavit Of
prejudice was filed against Justice
F. D. Let's. The affidavit figured
in the disbarment case against
Mr.. Duke, which resulted in a
court order prohibiting him from
practice. The Comptroller and
receiver were represented by
United States Attorney Leslie G.
Garnett; his assistant, John w.
Fihelly, and Charles E. VAIN
wright and Angus w. Mclean.

Of the State Art Society, there Was held, In the
ball room Of the Sir Walter Hotel IN Raleigh,
. comprehensive exhibition o paintings and
drawings by North Carolina artists, which
compared most favorably with local exhibitions

have become conscious Of their attainments
In these fields and are planning to take the
fruits Of their attainment outside Of the State.

the public by special invitation, issued by men,
bers Of the local North Carolina State Society.
Among the artists to be represented In the
exhibition are Gene ArwM Of Durham N. c.,
who has specialized In decorative paintings
o( flowers and sin life in tempera, which
are mo0efn1SttC m character, but IN the
line Of the great tradition; Clement Strudwick,
who has specialized IN portraits and who, to-
gether with Gene Erwin, has found . school
II art in Durham; Mary Graves, who also is
. portrait painter and IN excellent one, with
. studio at Chapel Hill, and Mrs. J. L. Gra-
ham Of Winston-Salem who has specialized in
landscapes. Besides, in all probability, viii be

The Anti War Congress

THE Second National Congress Against
War and Fascism, to be held in Chi
cago, is now only about six weeks off.
To be held on September $3.50, this
Congress will witness the gathering of
every force and group in the country fight
ing the menace of another imperialist
slaughter
1t is not too much to say that the work of this
Congress and the extent of its influence will become
an important historic factor in the struggle to
prevent the Wall Street imperialsts from hurting
the sons of the American working class into the
shambes of imperiast slaughter to protect capital
list investments and profits
Therefore, the work of preparation for the Con-
gress must from now on be taken up with the
greatest energy.
Every mass organization, every trade union, every
group of persons interested in ways and means of
fighting imperialist war is entitled to send dele
gates.
The Communist Party will send delegates and
is mobilizng the most wholehearted support of the
Congress. Every Communist must see to it that
the work of the Congress gets the widest publicity
and support. Write to the American League Against
War and Fascism, 1l2 E, 10Th Ets New York City

The Hunger>Strikers

THE self-sacrificing courage of the work.
4 ers who went on hunger strike in
San Francisco rather than endure the filth
and brutality of their prison conditions is
eloquent testimony to the power and de-
termination of working class solidarity.
By this heroic action, the San Fran
cisco cass-war prisoners did more than focus wide
spread attention their case They succeeded in
attracting great Of people not only to their
plight in the viciously-run prison, but-and this is
far more important-to the basic cause of their ar
rests.
Because of this the cruelty and venomous cam
pagn of terrorism which has been let loose against
the entire working class of the Pacific Coast was
exposed for all to see.
Glass war prisoners do not go hunger strikes
because Of capricious martyr-complex, as some
pseudo-learned and rabidly reactionary men of
science would have you believe Their reason for
such course of action has nothing in common
with the betrayal purposes of perennial hunger
striker" like the publicity Mahatma Gandh
Their purpose-like that of the Rueges in China
Is to call the attention of workers throughout the
world TO the situation of a of workers in a
single locality nation Gas in China or state
Gas in California today.
Such attention is the prerequisite-the spring.
board for mass protest action In many cases it is
the only means by which the fight against terror
brutality, reaction can be won-the only way in
which great concessions for the working class can
be forced.
The hunger strikers of San Francisco like others
in every capitalist land deserve the gratitude and
honor Of all who fight in the ranks of the revou
tionary working class!
