WORKERS IRE
MOUNTS OVER
K|ROV KILLING
Resolution from Soviet
Factory De m a n Is
Death for Murderers
Especial to the Daily worker)

MOSCOW, Dec. 26 (By WireleSS) q.
AT numerous meetings held in
the last few days in the factories
and on the collective farms one can
see and hear the great indignation
that is shown by workers, collective
farmers, intellectuals, scientists and
all toilers of the Soviet Union when
names Of the dastardly dregs of the
former Zinoviev anti-Soviet opposi-
ton, which murdered Kirov, are
mentioned.
An insignificant petty handful Of
contemplate persons, having lost
all hope of the support of the masses
and transformed into an isolated
group of murderers, raised their
dirty hands and attempted to direct
them against the heart of the Party
and the working class. These per-
sons desired, by shooting Kirov, to
bring confusion into Soviet ranks,
to disorganize Soviet construction
and to bring about a change in the
present policy of the Party.
Their Efforts Futile
Such attempts have been repeat
eddy made by the enemies of the
proletarian revolution and even dur
ing the years when the Soviet Union
was threatened with difficulties and
dangers, they ended in complete
failure. Still more are such efforts
futile at our time when the successes
and victories of Socialism in the
country of the Soviets are evident
even for the capitalist world, when
the toiling masses Of the country
are illimitably and utterly loyal to
the ideas of the Party, to the ideas
of Socialism.
The workers and collective farm
ers, and all toilers of the Soviet
Union, are filled with pain at the
loss of one of the best sons of their
fatherland, and replied to the muir
der of Kirov by an unprecedented
powerful closing of ranks around the
Party, around the great architect of
Socialist construction, Stain. In
these days when the names Of the
murderers Of Kirov have become
known to the workers and collective
farmers of the Soviet Union the

Driving Force For

NEW YORK. = 1.-THE UnempIoy-

the driving force in the organization
Of mass demonstrations in support
of the National Congress for I'm
employment Insurance" Israel AM

employment Councils, declared yes

"The preparations for the Ma
tional Congress are now reaching a
climax. In these preparations, the
Unemployment Councils have played
a most significant role. The National
Congress will be a mobilization point
for the organizations that have al
ready endorsed the Workers Bill,
and of many others that recognize
that it is necessary to unite all
forces willing to carry on a fight
for genuine system of federal I'M
employment insurance" Amter
stated.
The struggle continues. On Jan.
7 when the demands are presented
to the United States Congress in all
cities of the country, there will be
huge demonstrations. The unem-
ployed we-Sers are those who are
most concerned with the enactment
of unemployment and social insur-
ance. The demonstrations of Jan.
7 will be the expression Of this pro-
found interest. The Unemployment
Councils everywhere must be the
driving force in the organization of
these demonstrations.

Berlin Pastors Show
Anxiety Over Killers
Plans in Saar Region

BERLIN, Dec. 26.-It is with the
greatest apprehension that every
one, in the ecclesiastical as well as
in the political domain, is awaiting
the measures to be taken by Hitler
after the Saar plebiscite.
The sermons preached on Sunday
by the pastors Of the League Of
Distress" (the Protestant opposi-
tional body were full of anxiety.
The drift of most of them was that
the testing time was not past but
was still to come. Richter, the pas
tor of the Berlin Evangelical
Cathedral, declared for instance
that many of us are celebrating
Advent for the last time"

When Mr.. Hitler, then a terra.

he discovered not only the irregu-

paid out by the local relief bureau
for clients, but number of ex-

nection with food, coal and medi-
cine.
Hitler presented an oral review as
well as written report on the en-
tire matter to his superiors. His
statements have never been denied.
On the contrary, Cleanup cam

By ANGELO HERNDON

The workers of America have
saved me from death now twice,
and Haywood Patterson and Clar-
ence Norris four times.
They have done so because they
saw in the desperate attempt of the
Southern lords to lynch the Scots
boro boys and myself, by means Of
their courts, the spearhead OF the
gigantic struggle between the Ne
gro people and their oppressors, be-
tween the whole working class and
the money masters of America.
From the day early in 1881 when
I first threw myself into the Scots
boro fight, which has been led so
valiantly by the International La
Dor Defense, I have never doubted
that there was no stone the toilers
of America would leave unturned
to set those innocent boys free.
And from the day when I also
found myself facing the States de-
mand that 1 be put to death for
taking part in the organization of

Austrian Newspaper
Sees Victory in Saar
For Status Quo Vote

VIENNA, Dec. 26.-In spite Of the
fact that the Austrian press has
received orders not to publish infor-
nation on the struggle in the Saar,
the Neue Freie P-esse publishes a
telegram from its Paris correspon-
dent which declares that the &C.
currence of a second plebiscite in
the Saar is far from improbable.
1.-THE probability is confirmed in
authorized circles" the communique
runs, %. the French Minister for
Foreign Affairs declared his belief
in it during his speech before the
League Council. The matter was
made even clearer by a second
statement made by M. Laval at
Geneva to the effect that France
would not oppose the holding of
second ple5iScite. AS France is
the only country which could OPP
pose a change of allegiance, the
possibility of a further change in
the event of a preservation of the
status quo, is thus assured"

We Must Vim, Says Herndon,
In appeal for Defense Fund

Negro and white workers, had no
doubt that, led by the International
Defense, an equally valiant fight
would be made to smash that at
tempt.
Now another stage of the fight
for the Scottsboro boys and for my
self has begun, with the appeals to
the United States Supreme Court.
1t has cost thousands of dollars.
1t will cost still $4,000 more. This
is what the courts demand in fees,
along with the other unavoidable
expenditures.
The workers of America are pre-
pared to raise this sum. Please,
comrades, do so quickly. Now is
the period when every single day
counts. Rush every cent possible,
without waiting a moment, to the
International Labor Defense, 80
East Eleventh Street, New York
City.
This is the very center of the
struggle for liberation of the Negro
people. We must win this fight.

WAR METAL
ChromiteDeposits in Pr.
Are Called Biggest
in World

MANILA, P. l., Dec. 26-Amer-
lean capitalists felt themselves the
better prepared for war today when
the United States Senatorial mis-
sion here declared in a memoran-
dunn that the Philippine Islands
possess the most important source
of war material under the Amer
lean flag"
Evidence of chromite deposits so
huge that they have already at
tracted the attention of other ma
tons, were cited by Judge w. Haus-
sermann, wealthy monopolist of the
islands gold mining industry.
He said the reports of very con-
sentative engineers" were that the
deposits, situated in Zambales Prov
ince, might soon stake their place
as one of the most important ore
bodies in the world and the most
important source of chromite I'M
der the American flag"
ut Is no secret" he said, chat
other powers have cast eager and
covetous eyes on these deposits and
kept the operations under vigilant
scrutiny"
"Chromite," he added, us the one
war material which the United
States does not have in ample guam
titles within its own borders"
With a clumsy attempt at con-
cealing the role which Philippine
chromite would play in the coming
war, Haussermann simpered that
'by simply retaining control of these
deposits of war materials, the
United States would De doing a real
service for the promotion of world

TT TAKES a scientist to advance
the theory that there is a limit
TO space and parker to prove it.
Owners often become discouraged
over trying to seek maximum mile
age because they find that they get
just as good mileage on the road
driving fast as they do around the
city driving slow. They forget that
10 starts with a cold motor use up
as much gas as four miles of ordi-
nary driving The slower driving
about town compensates for the vast
age in starting. In other words, If
you combined city starting with high
way speed you would have sad
looking gas bill
One of the gentlemen who occa-
Sionally listen in to these remarks
for milady suggests passing along
information concerning one of the
evil practices in automobiledom. He
refers to the business of trying TO
make car owners think their engines
are very easy on oil. The trick is to
put oil o. S. A. E. rating 90 or go into
an engine that requires S. A. E. 80.
Naturally the heavier oil does not
burn of as quickly, but 1t fails to
lubricste the engine properly and the
owner eventually pays the penalty.
This leads logically to the sug-
gestion that you pay less attention TO
how much oil the engine consumes
and more to what kind Of oil you
feed it, Modern motors, especially
at higher speeds. should use more
oil than their predecessors. If an
engine is too economical on oil, either
it is being fed too heavy grade or
there is excessive crank case dilution.
Love and gasoline may make the
world 80 round but arguments also
have a way Of speeding things up.
