LANCASTER WANTS
SOCIALIST COMPETITION

THE section organizer from Lam
1 caster, Pa. writes:
"Our Party is to be congratulated
on the feat of printing and distrib-
uting 100000 copies of Stains
Foundations of Leninism We have
here a new section with only 30
members. We ordered 100 for the
section. Yesterday I visited our
smallest unit, shop unit Of 3. This
unit decided to take so. 1t begins
to look as if We under estimated in
ordering 100.
Il would like to suggest that the
Literature Commission OF the C. c.
organize national competition be-
tween Party sections in literature
distribution. This competition should
last two months. Both quantity and
quality should be taken into con-
sideration. In such a competition
I think our section should come
close to the top"
M. S.
All right, Lancaster let's have
your challenge to another section
in your district.
Socialist competition between sec
tions and districts can help them
fulfill their quotas on the Decent
edition of Foundations on Lenin-
ism" International Publishers re-
ports that $1,000 copies of this book
have now been sold through vari-
GUS sources. This leaves $4,000 to
go to distribute the entire edition
of 100000. To ensure that similar
w-priced editions of other basic
Marxist- works can be put
out, the 100000 copies of "Founda-
tons" must be distributed.
The quotas must be filled
Send us reports on your sales of
Foundations"

disagree with some Of its conclu-

are too skstchy and frsgmentary for
a critical publication like Partisan
Review.
Partisan Review No. marks the
end of the first stage in the devel-
opment of this outstanding literary
magazine. According to an edi-
torial announcement, the magazine
is to be enlarged to 96 pages, in
order to make possible the publ
cation of more and longer stories
and poems and critical articles and
book reviews. "A much greater
variety Of writing will be presented"
the announcement reads, giving
room to experimentation in form,
and to analytical and directive
MARKHAM criticism of wider scope
than heretofore"
1T SEEMS to me that the latter
L type Of writing is sorely needed
and if for that reason alone I hope
this new advance in the revolu-
tionary literary front will be
achieved. Despite the innumershle
articles and reviews in both revo-
lutionsry and liberal publications,
the Marxist approach to literature
still remains the most maligned and
miSrepresented and misunderstood
method in contemporary criticism.
I think Partisan Review has all
ready contributed some provocative
articles on the subject-in pieces
like Obed Brooks dissection of Mac
Leish, in the translation of Lukacs'
essay on the concept Of propaganda
in literature, and in the editorial
by Rahv and Phelps on Problems
and Perspectives in Revolutionary
Literature" But even these have
been scattered and fragmentary.
I hope that Partisan Review, in
its enlarged form, will devote a good
deal of its space to clarifying the
problems of the Marxist approach
to aesthetics. It seems to me that
such writing will be valuable not
only in correcting the misrepresen-
tations spread by enemy critics who
persist in viciously tsckling the
dummy that they think is the body
of MARKHAM aesthetic; but also in
acquainting the revolutionary read
ing audience as we'll as the revolu-
tionary creative writer with these
principles. For it seems to me that
there are as many confusions over
even elementary aspects Of the
Marxist approach to literature on
the part OF the audience and the
creative author within the Amer
lean revolutionary literary move
ment as outside Of it.

WINCHESTER, Ind, July 29.-If

dicted will be one of the greatest

Stapp found his "23" Cragar spe-
cial was not fast enough for the
high class competition which has
appeared on tracks supported by the
Midwest Auto Racing Association
this year, and announced he would
bring back the 1928" Miller from
California.
Stapp did not announce whether
he would drive the car, or whether
a driver equally as brilliant would

PA revival of the CWA or some
similar federal relief program was
forecast by Aubrey Williams, as
sistant federal relief administra-
tor, speaking before the closing ses-
sion of the Governors conference
last night.
Mr.. Williams told the executives
there has. been little decrease in
the number of persons dependent
upon governmental relief. Drought
conditions in the middle west have
aggravated the problem, he said.
Attempts to discredit the CWA
on the grounds of waste and fraud
were the work of politicians and
Tory opposition" he said. 1T was
body blow to the men and women
who were down"
States must prepare to assume
their share of the welfare burden,
however, he warned.
Governor Paul " McNutt, In
diana, was elected chairman of the
conference. Governor S. G. Will
son, South Carolina, was chosen
treasurer; former Governor Cary A.
Hardee, Florida, secretary. The eX-

DEATHS NEAR
1000 AS HEAT
WAVE BREAKS
Cooling North Winds Bring
Relief but Drought Is
Unchecked.

! BIZ United Press
KANSAS CITY, Mo. July o.
The heat wave that took a toll of
upward of 900 lives over two-thirds
Of the United Stats in fifteen days
appeared today definitely to have
been broken. but drenching rains
still we're needed to rout the great
southwest drought.
Cooling winds from the north
had reduced temperatures-that for
the last two weeks scarcely ever
were below TOTO the middle SOS
today. Weather forecaSters said the
cool wave was certain to continue
for at least another twenty-for
hours.
1t was feared when the final
count was made, loss of life from
heat fatalities and accompanying
causes might total more than 1000.
10 Inches of Rain Needed
While the heat was over, tenn
pOrarily at least, soil experts of the
University of Missouri estimated at
least ten inches of rain was needed
to restore soil Of the southwest to
normal condition.
Rainfall thus far over most Of
the section has been from light
showers to LOO inches. Forecasts
were for fair weather the next twen-
ty-four hours.
Crop statisticians and livestock
experts today had estimated from
combined official and private sources
cost of the drought thus far at ST.

Losses Are TabuIated

by states:

While the heat no longer inflicted
severe losses upon crops and live
stock, lack Of water still. was a
serious problem to many communi-

There will be plenty of crowd sup
port for Andy Aascher when the
Hoosier heavyweight favorite grips
with the rough Lou Plummer Of
Baltimore, Monday night at Sports
Arena on North Pennsylvania street.
Rascher Is regarded as state champ
in the beef trust division and he has
won a large following of fans.
Andy used to hang up his share Of
victories for Indiana university, and
since he entered the professional
game the young Hoosier has devel-
oped into real class. Plummer will
have the advantage in experience
and weight, ut Rascher thinks he
will flop the Oriole grappler by set
ting a swift pace and employing mat
craft. They will clash in the top
bout, two best falls in three. Plum
mer weighs 228 and Rascher 212.
In the semi windup Monday the
