 SIANTS s: Ry ALAN GOULD -

He's big curlyhaired youth. with the shoulders and legs of a pile driving fullback which he was-and a combination of hit ting ability and color that stamps him as one of the coming big slug gers of major league baseball
 His name is Henry (Hank) Lei Der. He's only 22 now but he has come along so fast in only two seasons of professional baseball that he probably will land a job this year as understudy to Joe Moore, the agile left-fielder and leadoff man of the world cham pion New York Giants.
 All of which makes this blond youth from Phoenix, Ariz., a per sonality worth keeping an eye on during the next few years.
 ''If he doesn't make great ballplayer for us before he gets through, I am one of the worst guessers in baseball" says Man ager Bill Terry. There's still some rough edges to work off him but he has real stuff in him, he's smart and he's ambitious.

DISCOVERED BY ART NEHF

Leiber was discovered for the Giants by their famous southpaw of John McGraws last champion ship club, Arthur Nehf. Hank was better known for his line -bucking ability at the University of Ariz- ona than his prowess on the base ball field Or basketball court but Nehf was quick to detect the youths real ability and recom- mended him to McGraw
 The spring of 1882 saw the big Arizonan in camp with the Giants at Los Angeles He played that year with the Winston-Salem club of the Piedmont league, clubbing the ball for substantial average and showing a lot of ground-cov- ering ability for a 08-pounder whose two ankles were broken as a youngster
 The following winter he joined the Giant forces again and was one of the sensations of the exhi- bition trip back from California to New York. He made life miserable for most of the Detroit Tiger pitchers. Bucky Harris, the De- troit manager told me that spring that he picked Leiber to be one of the greatest sluggers in the game, in due time and after fur ther schooling.
 To get the necessary experience Leiber was sent to Memphis in the Southern association, where he hit 1856. He finished the season with Jersey City in the International league. He was nearly traded once to Brooklyn, at time when the Giants were desperately in need of some seasoned talent like Lefty ODoul and Watson Clark, but

TULAREMIA GERMS SURVIVE FREEZING
 YEAR AND A HALF

WASHINGTON, April A. = Dis ease germs that can survive freez- ing for as long as year and one half have been found by the pub lie health service in studies of the disease known as tularemia.
 This disease is sometimes carried by wild animals, especially rabbits, and often attacks humans who handle infected animals or eat their flesh when it is not previ ously cooked.
 The public health service scien- tists found that in rabbits which were kept continuously frozen for long periods at temperature of five degrees above zero, Fahren- heit, tularemia germs could live up to one and one-half years in the brain and spinal cord
 The germs also survived as long as one year in the muscle tissue and spleen of the frozen rabbits, Il months in the liver and eight months in bone marrow.
 This demonstrates, says the re- port, "the danger to man of hand ling infected rabbits kept continu- ously frozen for long periods"

Campus Sheep, Student Tdilors,
 Glue Dean Suit

ATLANTA, Ga, April 4. = The "homespun" suits worn by Dr. Bradford Knapp, president of Tex as Pathological college, are pro duced to the last stitch on his own campus.
 The secret came out here at a conference he attended of southern relief authorities. His revelation was prompted by fellow conferees admiringly asking, "where'd you get em?"
 The wool came from the colleges herd of sheep and was woven into cloth by self-help students.
 This year, Dr. Knapp disclosed, there are Is students paying their colleges expenses by weaving, and the faculty is bent on increasing the number by further develop ment of the industry.
 President Roosevelt and Vice. President Garner are among those whose wardrobes include one or more of the suits.

Terry finally decided to keep his strings on the youngster.
BIG LEAGUER OR COACH

AS to his hitting, Hank says he just takes a healthy cut" at the ball. He's inclined to lunge bit, through eagerness to connect, and he has not yet entirely solved the mysteries of the slow curve, but Terry has helped improve his style and judgment at the plate.
 AS for the future, if Leiber doesn't make the big league grade he is determined to be college coach. He has three months of college work to finish before he gets a degree in physical education at Arizona and he is going to do it next fall and winter.

Committee

MILWAUKEE,, Wis, Nov. 5.-One
hundred and twenty-five regular
delegates from seventeen cities met
here last week at the State Con-
ference for Unemployment Insur-
ance to lay plans for a statewide
action in the fight 1or the Workers
Unemployment and Social lnsur-
ance Bill.
The delegates represented locals
of the American Federation Of La

the A. F. of L., independent and
Trade Union Unity League locals,
unemployed organizations, lam
guage, fraternal and mass organ
izations, and church, Negro and

and Cudahy, three Of the many
cities in the State which have en-
dorsed the Workers Unemployment

ers with new mass layoffs taking
place, the starvation relief budgets,
and the insecurity of their very
lives. Farm delegates showed how
the A. A. A. crop reductions and
price naneuvers have worsened the
conditions Of the poor farmers and
the workers.
The delegates reported that the
Wisconsin Unemployment Compen-
sation Act Groves Law not only
provided nothing for the present
unemployed, denied all benefits to
the majority of the workers, and
provided very little or nothing to
workers who indirectly contributed
to it's reserves.
Herbert Benjamin, national or
ganizer of the Unemployment
Councils, called upon the delegates
to support the National Congress
for Unemployment and Social In
surance to be held in Washington,
D. c., on Jan. 5, 6 and Z. Local
sponsoring committees for the Con-
gress," Benjamin said, should be
set up in every locality and copies
of the call to the National Con-
gress should be distributed among
the membership of all organiza-
tons"
The State Conference pledged
support to the National Congress,
endorsed the Workers Unemploy-
ment Insurance Bill, and elected a
State Committee Of Action to pre-
pare for the National Congress.

The fiery speech was greeted with
great enthusiasm by the audience,
which joined in mass chorus OF

Clarence Hathaway, Editor of the
Daily Worker, in his characteristic,
clear speech, brought to the work
ers of Chicago the significance OF
the Russian Revolution, the lessons
which we must learn from the Boil
sheviks as contrasted to the tactics
Of the Second international in Ger
many and Austria. He presented a
picture of capitalist decay, crisis
and misery against the picture OF
peaceful construction of Socialism in
the Soviet Union. He showed that
the two events that were being cele-
brated, the 18th anniversary of the
Russian Revolution and the final
election rally, had very close con-
nection. ION the same day while
the workers of the Soviet Union are
celebrating their victories under the
leadership if the Communist Party,
we are gathering our forces, under
the leadership of the Communist
Party for the daily demands of the
workers-for a Soviet America" he
declared.
Joe Weber, chairman of the meet
ing, appealed to the workers to
support the Communist Party, to
give funds to strengthen the work

was conducted by the entire audi

the Socialist Party platform, the
speeches Of its candidates and the
writings of its leading organ are
designed primarily for vote catch
ing. But Debs told the delegation
which visited him in Atlanta prison
in 1920, when he was nominated for
President, that Eve are in politics
not to get votes but to develop
power to emancipate the working
class"
What do the last words mean if
not the utilization of the election
campaign as another means of or
ganiZing the workers for struggle
for their everyday needs as well as
for the overthrow of capitalism al
together. Read the Socialist Party
Congressional platform and try to
find there call to struggle. Listen
to the speeches Of the leading So
cialist Party candidates-Thomas
Solomon, ETC., and try to find there
a suggestion regarding the "devel-
Oping of the power" Of the working
class for the overthrow Of capitalist
class rule.
When we consider the danger of
war and threatening fascism, we
cannot but remember the way the
Socialist Party leaders betrayed the
st. Louis anti-War resolution of
1917, which, with all its shortcom-
ings, could have been made a pow
erful instrument in the struggle
against imperialist war. Debs,
Ruthenberg and other revolution
airy elements, however. did not fol-
low the social-pacificism of the So
cialist Party officials.

We are on the eve of the 18th
anniversary of the Russian prole-
tartan revolution. The Socialist
Party leaders malign the Russian
Bolsheviks, are arrayed with the
enemies of the Soviet Republic
throughout the capitalist world.
What was Deb's position on the
Russian revolution? His declara-
tions, 81 am a Bolshevik from the
crown of my head to the tips of my
toes" Il heartily support the Rus
sian revolution without reserva-
tiOnS," and in court, 81 have been
accused of sympathy with the Boil
sheviks of Russia. l plead guilty to
the charge" are illustrations of
Deb's enthusiastic support to the
first workers government.
The Socialist Party does not print
these utterances of Debs. 1t does
no make the true heritage of Debs
the property of the rank and file
in the Party. But the rank and
file members and workers who still
follow the Socialist Party are be-
ginning to talk the language of
Debs. This is step in the direc-
ton of their revolutionization.
We are ready to claim jointly with
these workers Debs as our own, for
he belongs to the revolutionary
tradition of the American working
class.
A vote for the Communist Party
is vote for what Debs repre-
sented during his 40 years of mill
tant working-class activity.
