Japanese Push
Drive In Press
Against USSR


MOSCOW, Sept. (By Wireless).
The unbridled anti-Soviet cam
paign in the Japanese Manchurian
press is becoming daily holder in
its ferocity, going to the extent of
exposing the real plans and the in
spirers of the provocative war ma
neuvers.
The Hardin press, for instance.
began to speak of the intention of
cert in Japanese Manchurian
circles to "reorganize" the Chinese
Eastern Railway. The newspapers
clearly intimate that it is a ques-
ton of discussing new measures by
the japanese Manchurian circles
directed against Soviet citizens en-
ployed by the GER. and against
the rights Of the U.S.S.R. under the
railroad agreement.
simultaneously. Sapanese-Man-
churian circles are utilizing the
train wrecks on the Southern
Branch Of tin GER. as a means OF
intensifying their anti-Soviet cam
paign,
The Hardin press started an I'M
disguised campaign of advocating
the military occupation CT the
GER. by japanese armed forces.
The semi-official organ of the Jap

the situation would be if japanese

Another japanese newspaper,
The Hardin Sinbun,' frankly
speaks CT the necessity of occupy

This is necessary for the sell
protection of the Japanese, and for
the protection Of the happiness of
humanity"

Inexcusable !

THE Daily Worker is giving more COM
plete coverage to the textile strike
than any other newspaper.
Moreover it is daily answering the
bosses attacks on the strikers, warning
the strikers against all strikebreaking
maneuvers from whatever source, and
guiding them on the measures to be taken to
strengthen their fighting front
AS part of its efforts to aid the txtile workers
toward victory, the Daily Worker the mouthpiece
for the Central Committee of the Communist Party
has given daily guidance to the Party units Sec
lions and districts
A number OF Party districts have woefully fallen
down on their job that of bringing the paper to
the workers.
We single out the Boston district as an exam
pie. With many thousands of workers in the Bos-
ton area on strike, the Boston comrades are now
circulating the following number of papers in the
principal textile areas;
Lawrence-5O.
Lowell-150
Fall River-150.
New Bedford-500
Providence-2OO
Pawtucket-125.
Iynn-1oO
Worcester-1OO
Sprngfield-200.
To put the case clearly and simply this is a
Political scandal
The leading comrades of the Boston district, End
the comrades in charge of the work in the cities
listed are duty-oound to render an explanation to
the Party.
Immediately the Boston comrades and COM
rades in other textile centers are charged with the
task to getting the Daily Worker into the hands
Of the broad mass of the strikers.
We expect orders for papers plus serious poll
teal explanations

Waterways Agreement
Completed by Soviets
lspeelsI o the nnllr wo.ksrl


MOSCOW, Sept. 7 (By wireless).
After two months of negotiations
in Sakhalin between the Soviet
Amur River Navigation organization
and the Manchurien Hardin Steam
ship Co., technical agreement has
b c en- signed regarding frontier
waterways along the Amur, Arguni
and Usuri rivers.
The agreement provides for joint
preparation and upkeep of naviga-
tion signs on the frontier rivers, and
ccnpuls.on of ships of bo h sides TO
observe established navigation rules.
The agreement signed in Saknalin
is not OF an interstate character and
only touches on technical questions.
Never heless, its signing has a GER
tain political significance. 1t shows
goodwill on the Soviet side and
again rafu es the statement in the
japanese Man churian press that
/ Soviet authorities are seeking con-
f1icts on the Manchurian frontier,
cvading settlement of disputed
questions.

Zion Baptist-Morning service
at Zion was we'll attended. This
was because communion was ad-
ministered. The pastor preached
in accord with the thought that in
duced the introduction of this i'm
portant ceremony in the church.
Later services were not so fully
attended because of weather con-
ditions. Yet the B. Y. P. U. and
the night service were enjoyed by
those who had the courage of their
convictions and came despite the
unfavorable weather.
Communion was given to those
who were not present at the morn
ing hour. But Zion raised its
usual money quota and the good
work goes on. Come and visit with
US. You are assured of a kindly
welcome.

BELL-LIKE ROCKS
IN PENNSYLVANIA

A new set Of ringing rocks, made
famous throughout Pennsylvania
because of their vibrant qualities,
have been found near the quaint
historical town of Riegelsville.
With the aid of a small metal
hammer, a clear ringing, as from a
bell, can be made to emanate from
the rocks. However, all the rocks
in the area, which covers several
hundred square feet, do not ring.
Scientists believe that the rock
must be partly suspended in order
to give Off the bell-ike sounds.
Samuel G. Gordon, associate Gu
rator Of the department Of min
eralogy at the Academy Of Natural
Sciences, Philadelphia, believes
volcanic-activity 199,OOOOOO years
ago during the time Of the dino
saurs made the bell-like rocks pos
sible.
Gordon said they were not placed
there by volcanic eruption, as was
often believed, but were exposed
when the soil was washed away
during the millions of years.
The rocks are Of the diabese, or
trap rock class, and one Of three
types of rocks that ring. The other
two are stalactites found in caves
and phonolite, a volcanic rock found
in the western part Of the country.

Testing children with tubercu'
N lin is one of the modern meth
DDS of fighting tuberculosis. This
boy is receiving the test, which is
harmless and painless, and tells
whether the germs of tuberculosis
are lodged anywhere in the body. In
two days the doctor will know the
answer. If it is "yes," the boy will
be X-rayed to discover If any dam.
age in the lungs is apparent. If so,
his environment will be studied to
learn If he is living with someone
who has the disease. This is real
preventive medicine-an attempt to
forestall tuberculosis before 1t has
done actual harm.
The protection Of children is one
of the chief responsibilities of tuber.

against the disease. Their work is

CAPITOL

The Fox Film presentation OF
"Peck's Bad Boy" which will be seen
at your" Capitol theatre, Browns
vile Thursday and Friday, was &C
claimed by Hollywood critics at its
preview showings as a new Ameri-
can classic" and " a vital human
document for every man and wo-
man."
That brilliant and appealing
young player, Jackie Cooper, Is the
star OF this human film story. Jack
lie Is seen as a fine two-IiSted boy
who IS nearly crowded out Of his
fathers life and affections through
the plotting Of an unprincipled aunt
and her no less unprincipled son. To
Judge from advance reports, no
story Of boyhood has brought to the
screen a profounder understanding
or a more touching situation.
In addition TO Jackie Cooper. q
number Of notable players have been
assembled for the picture. Thomas
Meighan returns TO the screen from
. two years retirement to plav
Jackie's father. Young Jackie Scarf
has an important role as Bill Peck's
WI especial demon. As his schem-
ing mother, Dorothy Peterson con-
tributes a performance that has al
ready drawn raves" from preview-
ers and that fine actor, o. p. Heg-
gle Is also In the cast.
