DARROW WON I
DEFEND |NSULL

When Samuel insult is brought
to trial in Chicago on charges
Of embezzlement in connection
with the collapse Of his former
utilities empire, Clarence Dar-
row will not defend him.
The famous criminal lawyer
who has argued for the defense
in many of Americas most cele-
brated court cases has definitely
declared that he will not handle
the insult case.
Denying that he is o good
friend of Mr.. insult, Mr.. Darrow
was enigmatic about any scruples
re might have in the matter, but
stated:
"I've got friends in both
heaven and hell. 1 don't mind
to which side I lend my ser
vices"
Mr.. Darrow is at present living
here, since he heads an impartial
board appointed by President
Roosevelt to examine the results
Of the NRA on small business.

didn't care whether or not any
more luncheon came along when
the walters filtered among the
tables with plates of lamb chops,
dressed up in paper wrappings
and then the champagne-vintage
Of 1918-was poured into the
devilish little glasses. Then the
fun began.
The young lawyers had been
inquisitive to learn how the
champagne is niade-but after
the first sip they didn't care.
Ice cream got warm and coffee
became cold while the noble
German told the barristers that
there is only one place where
champagne grapes are grown and
that is the little 30-mile square
plot Of ground in France where
virtually any kind Of grape-in

ITSELF"
The same grapes will not make
champagne either in New Jersey
or in California, Baron Won Mumm
said, but the domestic stock,
transplanted in the French soil,
will do nicely after two or three
years. Am e rican champagne
sparkleS only with the aid Of arti-
ficial carbonic acid gas, he said
and champagne reaches its maxi
mum flavor after only 10 years
Of aging, he warned.
Furnished Refreshments
The guest furnished the re-
freshmentS as a special favor to
the Barristers, and there were only
two other guests-Major Chester
Fordney, Marine Stratosphere ex-
plorer, and Ross Bartlett. former
secretary to Vice President
Charles G. Dawes. Their host
was Theodore F. CogSwell.
Among those who came early
and stayed late were Walter M.
Shea, Paul B. Cromelin, Francis
w. Hill, jr., George D. Horning,
Henry Schweinhaut, william G..
Ashford and Thomas Lodge.
One of the choice anecdotes
was Regis Noel's explanation of
the shape of the wine bottles.
The Germans are naturally
thrifty and adept at labor-saving,
Mr.. Noel said. The long-necked
bottles in which the Rhine wine
was contained, enabled the Ger
man walters to pour the wine
without unduly extending them
selves and when they are empty
they are very useful for drench-
ing horses and other domestic
animals on the German farm

For United SUPPORT of Our
Spanish Brothers

A T THIS writing, the flames of the armed
"A struggle against Fascism in Spain rise
higher and higher No sooner are the
statements of the Lerroux government
printed about having gained the upper
hand" against the revolutionary general strike and
armed anti-fascist struggles than news arrives of
new outbreaks, new offensive attacks against the
Fascist regime, developments in the struggle
for national independence of Catalonia
The whole world bourgeoiSie is terrified by the
heroic struggles of the Spanish proletariat and
peasantry. They fear that the united front of So
cialists, Communists and Syndicalists which an
swered the Fascist threat by complete national
general strike, which has inspired the proletariat
to come out into the streets in an armed battle to
defeat the fascist foe, will result in the establish
ment of the proletarian dictatorship
In many places the proletariat has established
itself the ruling force. Peasants have entered
into the battle as the allies of the workers against
Fascism They are beginning to seize the land,
arm themselves and go into action against the
Fascist fiends.
In Madrid, where the Lerroux government has
entrenched its most powerful armed forces the
workers massed their forces for assault on the
central seat of power-against the Ministry of the
Interior, against the Ministry of War, against the
Bank of Spain with the objective of attempting to
seize these centers along with all arteries of
munication in order to gain the upper hand
A real estimate Of the situation is impossible at
this time the battle surges on, showing the

Register and Vote
Communist!

THE annual six-day registration period
L for the November elections opens this
morning in New York City. 1t is the most
important duty Of every Communist and
sympathizer to register.
Mass resentment grows in New York
against the LaGuardia program of relief cuts,
heavy interest and debt payments to bankers, at
tacks on mass picket lines and proposals to tax
the pay envelopes of workers in order that the
profits of the bankers may remain untouched by
the relief crisis
huge Communist vote will prove obstacle
to the headlong rush of LaGuardias city govern
ment toward fascist treatment of jobless and en-
ployed workers alike.
Such vote, however, is not possible unless the
maximum number of eligible Communists and SYM
pathizers are registered and enrolled during the
current week
See to it that you register and that your shop
mates and neighbors do likewise. And throughout
registration week and the duration of the election
campaign period, no Communist sympathizer
would relax his efforts to win the greatest possible
number of votes for the Communist candidates and

greatest initiative and heroism Of our Spanish
brothers.
What the Fascist dogs in Spain feared particu-
W larry at this juncture was the armed struggle
for national independence Of Catalonia and the
Basque provinces. The Catalonian ruling class, I'M
der the leadership of President Luis Companys,
while beginning the struggle for independence,
capitulated to the Lerroux government, calling on
the masses to cease their struggles to lay down their
arms. But in vain. The proletariat and peasantry
are continuing the battle for national independence
and against the establishment of the Fascist regime,
despite the desertion of the national bourgeosie.
In Sabadell Catalonia, city of 10000 population,
workers rule has been established
In the Asturias the proletariat is fighting fierce
ly and from reports at hand is striving to follow
the path of the Russian Revolution
A special correspondent of the Chicago Tribune
who crossed the French border into Spain, reports
that all roads are held by armed strikers, who have
seized power in their localities
"a glimpse of the grim, gaunt faces in the
Spanish villages makes realize" he writes,
that if Premier Alexandra LerrOux cannot clamp
down the lid in the next few days, the world
may see a social upheayal comparable to the Boil
shevik revolution"
I'VE are masters of this town" the workers told
him.
For some time, the Lerroux government hesitated
to use the regular army against the Spanish work.
erS and peasants Up to now they have relied
mainly on the hated Civil Guards, the force of
reaction which dates back to the monarchy Now
they are using only picked troops. Many times be-
fore in general strikes arms were taken away from
the soldiers by the officers.
THE heroic battle of the Spanish toiling masses
against fascisn, the united action of Socialists,
Communists and Syndicalsts should inspire the
proletarat of the entire world.
We must do everything in our power now to
come to the assistance of our fighting Spanish
brothers. We must now declare to the capitalists
of every country: Hands off" We must do every
thing we can for the victory Of the armed struggle
against fascism.
Socialists Communists and Syndicalists
fighting side by side on the barbados in Spain.
Socialists and Communists in this country must
march side by side, struggling side by side in de-
tense of their Spanish brothers, against the move
of American capitalism to assist the Fascist regime
of Spain.
The united front must be established now on
the question of the defense of the armed struggles
