rF YOU make yourself one of these
smart two-piece tunic dresses this
Winter you will be all set to go
/ in the Spring. For this is the
type of outfit we are heading
toward Note, please, the straight
forward simplicity of the design.
Not redundant note anywhere. The
skirt is separately made, SO it can
do double duty. The tunic places
the emphasis on simplicity. Made
like a three-quarter coat, it has
convertible closing which looks youth
fully chic when closed and ultra
feminine worn rever-fashion. AS in
many of the latest models on the
market, it is collarless. And the but
tons that fasten it are to be counted
on one hand. A very new detail is
seen in the squared outline of the
armhole. This gives the sleeve a
semi -dolman look that introduces
shoulder interest, both back and
front, and terminates in a close
fitting wrist line, which is very smart.
Wool is first choice for this frock,
especially the good-looking patterned
ones with checks and plaids and
muted stripes in them. Monotones,
too, are popular In bright hues. All

Nothing But The Truth

Many an attack is launched at the Voice of
Action on the propaganda" score. why don't
critics.
1t happens that the Voice of Action does, as
far as is humanity possible, limit news stories
to the facts. The deluge of capitalist newspaper
propaganda is what makes the Voice of Action
look unusual
Take the following quotation from the Sc
attic Post-Intelligencer news story on the long
shoremen's strike: alfred H. Lundn chair
man of the Seattle Citizens Emergency Com
mittee, left last night for San Francisco by
United Air Lines plane to represent the public
before the arbitration board there"
Unless there are $4,000 ship owners and
members of the Chamber of Commerce in Sc
attic, the P-I made slight error, but thor
oughly conscious and intentional one.

The Voice of Action supports the recall

But the movement requires more examina-
tlon than blind endorsement.
Many involved in the recall have but one
purpose-tO divert attention from more direct
and immediate action in support of workers
rights and against fascism. They are the same
gang that opposed mass support to the long

fooled that when Smith appeared at the liza

was cheered by the men.

of the Nazl butchers But through untirng
! protest the masses saved Dimltroff, and his
comrades against terrific odds. exposed the
Nazi plot of the burning of the Reiehstag. We
will not fail now to free Thaelmann.
Dimtron said of Thaelmann in his letter
to Barbusse and ROLAND that he Is zone of the
finest and celarest minds of the German prole-
tartan" He also said, "Our liberation from the
clutches of the German fascists shows that by
straining all forces on a unified front it is
really possible to surmOunt great difficulties"
We may take courage to increase our efforts
to save this working class leader from destruc-
ton at the hands OF the fascists
Thaelmann has been suffering the brut-
atty of Naz jalers, hidden away in some prison
for over year. He is one who grew up in the
revolutionary movement Thousands of German
workers have responded to the spirit and cor
rectness of his longtried leadership With his
leadership thousands gathered from all parts
of Berlin, filled with determination to build
their forces and to save their fellOw-wOrkers
from fascist terror. Thaelmann was the very
center OF their advance.
Capitalism, using the National Socialists as
their tools, captured this leader. They must be
being modified and will not be thrust back
nor their leaders taken with impunity
The American workers can join with their
fellow workers in Germany in building so strong
an international mass protest, that it will in

We can stand by Thaelmann who knew how
to speak for the working class and how to work

Justice

An editorial of Sundays Seattle Times car
ries in adjacent columns two news stories.
One describes the local trial of two Negroes,
Murphy Holmes and Atlas Fisher, sentenced
to- five years in the State PenitentiaTy at Walla
Walla for stealing $l.75.
The other concerns an indictment filed in
New York City by the United States Govern
ment. 1t seems something happened to a five
hundred million dollar revolving fund provided
by Congress- in the Agricultural Market Act to
help the farmers" The defendants in this suit
some Is firms and individuals are charged with
stealing a measly $45l,Sl4. 1t is hoped that
part of the remaining $4S0O0O0O went for the
purposes intended.
No one is to go to Jail for this theft even
though the amount literally staggers the i'm
agination. The suit is merely one for damages
asking the return of the stolen money together
with little over a hundred million dollars in
unpaid taxes.
From past experience with similar cases
the case will unquestiOnably be stalled until
such time as it can be quietly dropped without
too much public excitement
Machinery of Justice" in the United States

and the farmers, to protect the interests of the

NEW YORK-William l.. Pat.

years on the chain gang.
THE Alabama Supreme court"
says Patterson, now crowns the
outrageous frame-up lynch pro-
ceedings with this OminOus
death decision, to be executed
on August 81. The Georgia Su-
preme Court delivers Angelo
HerndOn-the noble 10 year old
Negro youth who sought relief
for starving white and Negro
wOrkers-to the tOrtures of the
chain gang for IS to 20 years on
August g."
I'VE must appeal these cases
to the U. S. Supreme Court. For
the ScOttsbOrO case, $4,000 is re-
quired. For the HerndOn appeal,
$1,000 is needed; to prevent
HerndOn from being rushed to
the changing torture, $4,000
must be raised within two weeks.
Cash and liberty bonds for this
urgent bail will be held strictly
as loan, to be returned as soon
as this bail is released"
With your aid, we have sue
