FOREIGN SALES
SOAR FOR c. NJ.
IN 4 MONTHS

General Motors sales abroad Of
car and truck units, from all
sources, for the first four months
of 1884 totaled 59,817 units, an
increase of 81 per cent over the
total for the corresponding period
of 1898, and an increase of SO per
cent over the total for the first
four months of 1882.
April Nears Record
The results in evidence for the
month of April alone reflect a
continuance of the vigorous up
ward trend which has been in evi.
dence since the spring of 1888.
and sales of 20,201 units during
this month are the highest rec.
orded for any year in the com.
pany's history with the exception
of 1923 and 1929. The total in
question was 104 per cent greater
than the total in April, 1888, and
141 per cent greater than the total
in April, 1882.
The gains in evidence are world
wide in extent, and while they ap-
ply with greatest force to the cor.
poration's products manufactured
in the United States and Canada,
substantial progress has also been
made with the Opel product manu-.
factured in Germany, and the
VauXhall product manufactured
in England.
u. S. Sales Climb
April sales of General Motors
cars to consumers in the United
States totalled 106,349 compared
with 1889 in April a year ago.
Sales in March this year were 98,-
174. Sales for the first four months
of 1884 totalled 286,872 compared
with 211,968 in the same four
months of 1898.

GAIN IN VACUUM
CLEANER SALE

The upturn in vacuum cleaner
sales, which began in September,
has continued at an accelerated
pace, Fred Wardell, president of
Eureka Vacuum Cleaner Com
pany. stated in announcing the
results for the first quarter.
April business exceeded that
done in any other month so far
this year. Production is running
behind orders at present and EN-,
ployment at the Detroit factory is
at the highest since 1880.
The 1884 first quarter net
profit of $66,O3S was more than
for the first three quarters of
1888.
More new dealers, including de.
partment store and utility outlets,
were enfranchised during the last
six months than during the entire
three previous years, he stated,
adding:
"The greatest volume of busi-
ness is coming from the replace.
ment market, and we have only
just started to scratch the
surface of this large market,
which was built up during the
depression years. We estimate
that there are 100000 vacuum
cleaners in use in American
homes today which are worn
out, or outmoded, and should be
replaced"

TEAM UNABLE
TOREG|STER
TRIUMPH
BY DANNY GILL
Eastern High School is not brag-

Eastern High School is not brag-
ging about it's tennis team.
Over in Northeast those persons
who interest themselves in the
game are willing to overlook the
little obstacles which have raised
themselves into barrier against
a good season and are laying the
foundation for next year.
Mrs. Marie Knighton, an Eng
1ish teacher at the Lincoln Park
institution, is faculty advisor for
the team. She says the boys coach
themselves and that she contents
herself with the management OF
the squad. A talk with her, how
ever, convinces one that she knows
her tennis and will play big part
in the molding of a strong aggre-
cation for next year.
Bow to Everybody
The boys have hardly had what
could be called a successful season
as they bowed to Episcopal,
Georgetown Freshmen, Maryland
Freshmen, George Washington
Freshmen, Central and Tech.
Saturday they hope to break into
the win column at the expense of
Gonzaga.
The best showing was made
against Maryland which beat
Eastern, 4-3. Mrs. Knighton ex-
plains the boys couldn't play
doubles simply because they had
never played with partners, and
found it a new experience. Against
Tech the doubles combinations
began to function smoothly.
Stars Missing
Three boys who were expected
to strengthen the team have not
been available. They are George
Cranston, Hubbard Fletcher and
Lavelle cDopey") Dean. Grams
ton, who won the tournament
while at Gonzaga, and Fletcher,
find their scholastic marks in the
way, while Dean doesn't seem
any too anxious to play, although
he won the school tourney last
year.
The best players on the team
are Belisario Contrares and little
Billy Burns, with John Koontz,
Lawrence Lichliter and Phil Var
nall not far behind.

Pop" also reVels in the unique
distinction of having bowled ex-
clusively in the District League,
the city's major circuit, though
he was never a top-notcher and
though he has bowled the small
pins for 20 years.
In fact, in 1921 he was one of
the regulars on the Nationals, the
team that gave the Royals a ter
rifle battle for the pennant right
down to the finish and he
averaged 102. His teammates
that year were Red" Megaw,
Perce Bllett, Joe McGolrick and
Tommy Walker.
Pop" originally a bookkeeper,
became a lawyer at 81, and even
now, though carrying on shoe find
ing and dog furnishings store, he
still finds time to practice law oc-
cassionally.
Internationalist
He is also famed for his inter
national connections.
Though of Italian descent, he
was a member of the Saengerbund
Club for years when that German
organization was at the height of
its fame. He was vice president of
the local French Benevolent
Society, and also trustee of the
italian Benevolent Society. He can
still sing some of the German
songs he sang at the Saenger.
bund'S.
A born organizer, he was one of
the main-springs in the formation
of the Italian Fishing Club so.ae
thirty years ago, and has been its
secretary all during that time. The
club owns large tract of land on
the Patuxent and has big build
ing for the use Of it's members
there for hunting and fishing
purposes.
Joseph Anthony Pessagno gave
vent to his first wall two months
after the battle of Bull Run, Sep
tember %, 1861, to be exact, in
Baltimore.
Becomes Lawyer
He graduated from Baltimore
City College in 1880 and "a years
later, he obtained a LIB. degree
from Georgetown Law School.
In the meantime he had become
head bookkeeper for Baltimore S
largest lumber yard, but a desire
to be independent brought him to
Washington in 1888 where he
opened an italian imports store
which he maintained for 26 years.
In 1914, when he completed his
legal course and become lawyer,
he also Joined the shoe finding
firm he is now owner Of. He is
on the board of directors of the
Permanent Building Association.
Joins Saengerbund
"Pop" started bowling ten-pins
40 years ago at the Saengerbund
Club. Somehow he never joined
a ten-pin league, though he was
bowling friendly games every day.
AS stated before, he has only
bowled in one league in all his
life, and that the District Duckpln
League in which he bowled from
10 years with the GoodfelloWs, a
team which boasts that it never
won pennant but always had a
good time.
Believe or not, Pop" bowled the
biggest duckpin set of his life,
389, in the Washington City Duck
pin Association on the team that
was named for him, the Pops" "
His games were 129. 129 and 131.
Some 80 years ago. Pessagno
was member of an Italian all
star ten-pin team, which also in
cluded the two Giovanetti broth
ers, Vincent and Silvio and Gus
Federico, all crack ten-pin spillers
of the day.
Pop" is the father of 10 chill
dren. One daughter is now help
ing him manage his business.

CLOTH SALES OFF

NEW YORK, May 10 S.).-Al-
though the volume of business in the
coarse yarn cloths market today was of
fair proportions, total turnover fell far
short of the expectations Of many in the
trade.
The market turned in a moderately
good day on print cloths and carded
broadcloths of which more than $4,000
pieces were sold. Bulk of this business
was done during the forenoon, with lit
tic more than scattered sales in later
trading.
a number of buyers took the view that
while curtailment is probable, they
would as soon wait until it appeared
certain. even if this involved paying
moderate advances.

The unemployed councils must increase their activities

The demands Of this nationwide protest are:
immediate appropriation Ct funds by Congress to

additional funds to give all registered unemployed,
C.W.A. jobs. Union wages and working conditions
fer all C.yvA. workers! All unemployed not on CWA.

The Drive Is On!

THE circulation drive is en- Today it begins in real
earnest.
Within three months-12 weeks-we plan to have
increased the Daily Worker circulation by 10000 new
everyday readers and 10000 new readers of the satur
day edition.
Comrades our job is to get the Daily Worker into
the hands Of the workers particularly in the big fac
tories Of heavy industry, steel coal auto ETC.
There are thousands of workers in the biggest fac
tories Of the country who would become the most
devoted, loyal supporters Of the Daily Worker-f they
only knew about it, if they only saw a copy of it..
This is ndispuabe fact Our experience proves it,
For example the following letter from a miner in
Princeton, Indiana, printed in Saturdays issue
while the Daily has no large circulation here
it reached the masses in the Anniversary issue of
January 9Th, who had the privilege of reading
it, not knowing that anything like it was published
All who bought copy of that issue are very much
enthused it. ard we expect to follow uu and
gain greater circulation"
Here is typical picture. Hundreds of enthusiastic
new readers among basic workers by simply taking
the trouble to organize some systematic distribution
Of the paper to them.
There will of course, be difficulties and obstacles
to overcome. But, by and large if we give enough
energy and thought to establishing persistent and
planned distribution Of the Daily, we will win thou
sands of readers-we will be able to achieve our
goal Of 10000 new readers by May l.
This is major revolutionary task Ten thousand
new readers will give us strong lever for the organ
zaon OF mass struggles against the capitalist hunger
dictatorship of the Roosevelt government.
We love our paper-we know that it is our voice
and weapon, Let us carry this enthusiasm to our
fellow workers! Let us show them day by day, hou
the Daily Worker is the expression of their interest,"
and the tighter for these interests
Put the Daily Worker into the hands of the work
ers in the shops, mines factories unions relief lob
etc! Garry the message of the only daily workers
paper in America. For immediate setting up az
committees drives, contests etc. for the achieyiug
of 10000 everyday readers and 10000 Saturday
readers by May /! Every one into action!
