Wet film, will continue for a second
week at the Acme Theatre. The
picture is a comprehensive study of
Soviet life as it is today. 1t gives
graphic picture of what one-sixth
of the world-the Soviet Union--is
doing. The film also covers many
parts of the U.S.S.R. with which we
are not familiar.

Indignation was aroused by the in
competence of the Socialist defense
attorney, Joseph w. ShartS. She
determined then and there to study
law, and study she did-at about
the same time that her Oldest son
was completing his college courses.
But unlike Florence Allen, Yetta
Land aspired to no posts as coun-
ty prosecutor, which was one Of
Miss Aliens first jobs. Instead she
applied herself Immediately to the
legal defense of workers under the
direction of the InternaSaaaal La
Dor Defense. In 1881 she conducted
the successful defense for Paul Cas-
say, against charges of sabotaging
the construction of a giant Navy
dirigible in Akron. Her victory in
this case nipped an ineipient red
scare" in the bud. She has scored

Appeals, and in numerous minor
cases. She was attorney for I. O..
Ford, now Communist candidate for
Governor in Ohio, when he was
charged with deseorating the Amer
lean flag. She won that case, too.
Like many working class law
yers, she doesn't confine her defense
of working class interests to court
rooms. She is active in working
class organizations. And it's sure

With further additions and notifications as
necessity demanded. this was the size of the
Library Of Congress before it was removed from
the Capitol into its own building.
Before the Office of librarian of Congress was
provided for, the duties of the Office were sue
cessively performed by John Beekley of Vir-
ginia QS02-189O and Patrick Magruder of
Maryland U807-1815), both clerks of the
House of Representatives.
The first librarian of Congress was George
Watterston In all respects q Washingtonian
except that he was not born here the harbor
OF New York being given as his birthplace, and
the date, October %, 1888. It seems that his
father, David Watterston, a native of Jedburgh,
Scotland, and Mrs. Watterston had just ar
rived in this country when their son was born.
Later the senior Mr. Watterston came to the
Federal Capital and was here in time for his
son to witness the laying of the corner stone
of the Capitol, upon which building the father
was subsequently employed.
George Watterston was reared here and re-
manned here until his death in 1854, always an
active honored and useful citizen. In early
life he became journalist, and a compliment
