to leave him note in his pocket.
She said that she would see to it
that G. E. Parks would turn him
off.
So he quit and went away to work
and Policeman Barfield arrested him
and brought him back and put him
in jail, but he was taken out by the
sheriff's forces and taken to the
county line and beaten up, and was
told to leave town and never return.

Dear Comrade:
With regard to the comrade who
was mistreated by the Board of
Health when he applied for food
handlers card, I want to say that
this has been the experience of
nearly everybody who has had any
business with LaGuardias new
boloney deal.
But why doesn't the cornrade ap-
ply to our own Board of Health,
to Doctor Luttinger. If he is a
Party member and has no money,
he'll get card for nothing. I got
one and not only thorough ex-
animation, but was treated better
than by private physicians. The
comrade doctor actually told me,
1T was a privilege to serve me" and
pushed half buck into my hand.
That's the way our Board of Health
treats us
Comradely yours,

The names of workers who

secret.
However. we request that all
letters sent directly to the paper

We ask this because frequently
letters arrive from important

special information is urgently
needed. Valuable information
concerning the activities of labor

ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS
Dinitrenal for Obesity

d. NJ, Providence, r. 1.-The
patent medicine Die Nigh" which
you are referring to is probably
Dinitrenal, the chemical name of
which is Alpha Dinitrophenol So
dunn Compound. 1t is composed of
the sodium salt of the dye, dinitro-
phenal, to which has been added
charcoal and suprarenal substance
and it comes in pink colored cap
sules. The dose is two capsules
daily but we advise you not to
take it unless you can be under
medical supervision. An article on
Dinitrophenol appeared some time
ago in this column. BY referring
to back copies of the Daily Worker,
you can get all the information on
the possible dangers in the indis-
criminate use of this drug.
The Organ of Writing

write, although some people who
have lost their hands have trained
themselves to write with their feet
by holding pen or pencil between
their toes.
If you mean creative writing such
as writing novels, plays or essays,
then the organ of writing is the
brain. The ability to write can

be a major issue when it reaches
Congress, but the fight Is right now
In progress among those who are
canny enough to see when and where
the most effective work can be put in.
Again, another strange action was
recorded when the House appropria-
lions committee disregarded the re-
quest of the President, the Director
of the Budget, the Director of the
Federal Employment Service in the
Department of Labor, disregarded the
promise to the States embraced in the
Wagner bill which became law last
year, and hamstrung the new employ
ment and unemployment agencies
throughout the nation by virtually
cutting their money in half for the
next year.
Apparently willing to spend a bill
lion on temporary work in a few
months, it takes the very agency
which has been responsible for the
wise spending of this sum, and which
is responsible for the search and
placement of permanent and suitable
employment for those who have tenn
porary, part time jobs or no work at

sweeping out the corners Of its finan-
cial bin.
Funds for public works apparently
face more dangerous future. The
ambitious program for the current
year is In for sharp curtailment,
unless some of us can succeed in
amending or altering the administra-
ton policy in the next few days, be-
fore it Is announced. Conferences
have been numerous with the White
House, the Secretary of the Interior,
who is also administrator of public
works, the Budget Director, and 9TH
ers charged with this responsibility.
Interest of number of liberal Sena-
tors has been enlisted.
And yet it seems that the amount
suggested in the Presidents budget
message will be adhered to. That is
$500, 000, 000-haf of what is carried
for the emergency supply bill next
week-for permanent public works
for the next fiscal year. And that in
cludes the so-called non-federal loans,
about three-fourths of which are COW
cred by adequate collateral in each
loan, SO that that amount will even

tually return to the treasury. 1t
seems difficult in the extreme to un-
derstand the Inconsistency of expend-
ing tremendous sums as outright gra-
tuities of temperament character
while the constructive program
launched on such an ambitious scale
last year is to be pinched off so
abruptly.
One effect of it, If adopted, will be
to bring to a virtual standstill the
highway construction and mainten-
ance program in the various states
which has been such steadying en-
ployment influence. Another will be to
remove public construction from the
employment picture at the time when
it's first effects were beginning to be
noted both in the building trades as
we'll as among the large group OF
allied trades and industries which
supply the raw materials. And every
bit of this is inseparably linked in
with the purchasing power of the
public which means in computable
dollars and cents figures a rise in
the commodity prices that mean life
and death to the farmer. This will
Askov American. [volume] (Askov, Pine County, Minn.) 1914-current, 1934-02-08

insure resumption Of these activities
in the fall, when Congress will not be
in session. but when all the House
and a third of the Senate seek re-
election. Obviously, the pressure
from four million voters and those
dependent upon them, now employed
in these works. casts its shadow be-
fore. And there are thinking men,
bers Of Congress, not persuaded by
the political considerations, who see
the danger of departing from a pro-
gram just when it is beginning to
function efficiently and aid in the
resumption of at least degree Of
business activity in the smaller as
we'll as the larger centers.
1t is supposed that the President
is not at all averse to seeing these
amounts increased to a reasonable
degree, but that he purposely is leav-
ing it to Congress instead of asking
it himself. The House will not have
that responsibility, due to the STRAIT
egy of it's leaders. If the Senate does
boost the sum, it is almost certain
the House will follow. And speed is
essential. for the CWA is right now

THE NATIONAL
GOVERNMENT
By CONG. JOHN PAUL KvALE

Quick action is promised when
Congress next week considers the de-
ficiency appropriation bill which car
ries just little less than billion
dollars for continuation of the CWA
and emergency relief programs
Large as it is, this fund nevertheless
is designed to insure continued ex-
penditure on the present scale only
until May first, on the average-it
may close earlier in the southern
states, and continue beyond that
where climatic conditions require.
Revolt in the House seems effectively
stopped by the administrations lead
ers' tactics; they will bring it up
under suspension rules, debate it only
forty minutes, then pass it on to the
Senate.
There, however, a serious effort will
be made to increase the amount to

all. and weakens this agency cruelty
If indeed it does not wreck that or
ganization.
The fight over this item, in pro-
gress when leaders suddenly decided
to adjourn last night, will be resumed
Tuesday, with some hope of restor-
ing the item. 1t may be said COM
pletely truthfully that the director of
this service is a public servant who
understands well his task, has a
definite goal and the zeal of truly
inspired public servant. And in these
qualities Mr.. Persons deserves to take
his place with Hopkins, who heads
CWA, and Ickes, the Secretary of the
Interior, both of which have been in
effect the subject of the preceding
paragraphs. All three have almost
impossibly heavy responsibilities, all
three are discharging them with as
tonishing success and certainty.
