WASHINGTON. Aug. 6.-Dillin-
ger myths are dying hard
The department or justice still re-
ceives letters from those who pur-
port to have seen the outlaw in re-
cent days, although Dillinger was
killed July % by federal agents in
Chicago.
Most Of the correspondents live in
the middle west where the desper-
ado conducted his forays. But one
eastern writer sent a postal card
telling the government I'm Dillin-
ger
The man killed in Chicago, he
said, was another person and the
whole affair was a put up job to
make the country believe the
scourge Of the middle west had been
put out of the way. The writer even
went so far as to say that the out
laws family cooperated in the
plot
All these correspondents just give
the justice department a big laugh
The agents know they got their
man.

PRISON TREACHERY

A question asked in this column two
weeks ago today has been answered
The question was-"How did men in a
condemned cell become possessed of
guns - The men were inmates of the
state prison at Huntsville, three of them
shooting their way TO freedom just a
few hours before Dillinger was killed in
Chicago.
The answer to the question was re-
vealed yesterday when James A. Patter-
son, guard in the Texas prison, admitted
he had smuggled three automatic pistols
into the men for a sum of money the
amount of which was not revealed.
Nothing can be said in defense of
Patterson. A man entrusted with job
as important as keeping condemned pris-
oners where they belong, and who
breaks that trust, is just about as bad
as man can become. He not only was
false to his job but he was false to his
fellow guards, whose lives he exposed
by his treachery, though he himself was
careful not to be exposed to the same
danger they confronted.
There was at least one person killed
in the prison break. The ends of justice
will be fittingly served if Patterson soon
finds himself inside the condemned cell
instead of being on the outside while
the guards whom he betrayed see that no
guns are smuggled into him. We believe
the guards can be trusted to take care
of that matter.

A NEW ANEsTHETIC

German scientists have devised a
white tasteless crystalline powder
which puts a patient TO sleep in
minute or even less time In this
country it is called evipsl, and evil
pan in Europe.
Eyipan in the form of a solution
is injected into a vein and the
patient falls into restful sleep.
There is none Of the excitement and
nervousness at the beginning of the
anethesia, or the vomiting and nau-
sea that come with an anesthetic
like ether.
The patient awakens quickly
from the anesthesia which usually
lasts about twenty minutes. When
t. is necessary to have a longer
period. some doctors repeat the dose
CT evipan, while others utilize ether
or nitrous oxide.
The new snesthetic is not excreted
from the body by passing into the
air through the lungs like ether.
1t is gotten rid of by chemical
breakdown in which the liver PLAYS

son evipan is very useful for opera
tons on patients suffering from
lung disease, but should not be
used in childbirth according to
some authorities. or on people suf-
fering from liver or gall bladder

ANOTHER MATHEMATICAL
MACHINE

The influence of technology
upon the advance of science has
been an important one. Tech
nology helped incrssse the p-eci-
sion and power Of sciences attack
upon its problems, and in many
cases it posed questions that led
to important scientific discoveries.
The process was an interacting
one, with science, in turn. speeding
up the development of technique,
Even in the most abstract of
the sciences-mathem atics-techol-
ogy promises to help create meth
DDS that may lead to the develop
ment of solutions that are not
possible today OF course, these
are only tendencies and their full
realization waits upon the reor-
ganization of scientific research,
and the planned direction of scien-
tific activity, of the kind that
characterizes science in the Soviet
Union.
These thoughts come to mind as
one reads of the construction Of
new mathematical machine at
the Massachusetts Institute of
Technology which is capable of
solving what mathematician call
simultaneous equations. The e
equations enttr into the work
of designing complex engineering
structures, and consequently the
new machine in grinding out an
swers to problems that are too
cumbersome and even impractical
to be handled otherwise, will play
an important practical role in this
engineering work.
The new machine is the latest
mechanical device developed at
NJ. I. T. for the solution of math-
ematical problems. It was built by
DR.. John B. Wilbur and consists of
a maze or pulleys and steel tapes.
The operator sets scales CORE
spending to the values in the
equations, and after the machine
is operated, other scales give the
answers.
The machine reproduces me-
chanically through its pulleys and
steel tapes the mathematical con-
ditions of the equations. It's i'm
portance lies in the fact that the
labor involved in the solution Of
large numbers Of these equations
has stood in the way of the sue
cessful analysis Of many important

Marx and Lenin
On Initiative
OF the Masses


According to v. 1. Lenin in his
introduction to Letters to DR..
Kugelmann, "the historical ini.ia-
tive of the masses is what Marx
values above everything" Lenin
emphasized his point particularly
for the benefit of the Russian
MenshevikS led by Plekhanov, vino,
at the defeat" of the Revolution
of 1905, had complained that the
insurgents Should not have re-
sorted to arms"
Snatching a handy quotation from
Marks writings on the period just
before the Paris Commune in 1871,
and forcibly tearing a sentence
away from the living spirit of
Marxist, revolutionary working class
theory of which it was a part,
Plekhanoy had limited, Lenin wrote,
that Marx himself also put the
breaks on the revolution in 1870"
Such hodge-podge of "rea-
soning'-a mixture of cheap Men
shevik swindling and hopeless ped
antry-aroused the most burning
scorn in Lenin. And Marks great
est disciple proceeds, in his intro
duction, to tear down the lies of
Plekhanov and present Marxism
again as the only theory that en-
ables the revolutionary working
class "to storm the heavens" against
the rule of the bourgeoisie.
"In September, 1870" says Lenin,
Marx called instruction desperate
folly, but in April, 1871, when he
saw the mass movement of the
people, he treated it with the great
attention Of man participating in
great events which marked a step
forward in the world historical
movement. -"
Marx looked upon this history
from the point of view of those who
make it without being able to cal
culate exactly the chances before
hand, not from the point of view OF
a moralizing intellectual and phili-
slime who says 1t was easy to
foresee they should not have
resorted to. y
MARX was able to appreciate the
fact that moments occurred in his
tory when the desperate struggle
of the masses even for hopeless
cause is necessary for the sake OF
the further education Of these
masses ard their training for the
next struggle"

Chicago'S Drama
Union Ready for
Fall Production

CHICAGO.-The Drama Union,
following in the path of New York S
Theatre Union, announces its sue
cessful organization, and the COM
pletion of arrangements for the
presentation of "Stevedore" on De-
cember 25th. The first production
of the season, in Loop theatre,
will be Peace on Earth" by George
Sklar and Albert Maltz, which had
an eighteen week run in the Civic
Repertory Theatre in New York.
1t is the intention of the Drama
Union to present plays dealing
W h significant contemporary
themes, using professional COM
pany of players. The prices will
be low, ranging from thirty-five
cents to one dollar and fifty, with
attendance of the unemployed sub
sidized by contributions.
The Drama Union is a coopera-
tive association of all elements in
the theatre: playwrights, scene de-
signers, technicians, directors, actors
and audience. Through cooperation
with trade unions, fraternal societies
social organizations, cultural, pro-
fessional, and student groups, mems
and women's clubs and church as
sociations, to which it will offer adj
vantsgeous terms for group adn1is-
sions, the Drama Union will make
its theatre a part Of the resources
of these organizations.
Arrangements for the coming
season can be made by comlnuni
cations with the Drama Union, 121
West Madison.

Reviewed by
CYRIL BRIGGS
"THE Negro Worker" is well on
l its way to becoming a very
disturbing, nay, tormenting "ghost"
for certain Negro reformis5 leaders.
1t was but two weeks ago that
the Pittsburgh Courier had the
magazine snugly shrouded and
buried-"at the orders of Moscow"
Of course. But, alas, the militant
magazine, variously buried by i'm
perialist oppressors and Negro mis-
leaders alike, inconveniently re-
fuses to stay dead" It has a
disconcerting knack Of regularly
turning up in the very vanguard
of the world struggle for Negro
liberation, to confound the wish
fathered lies of the bosses and
their agents. It's latest issue, dated
for September, was received in this
country just a few days ago.
In addition to a leading editorial
which has an important bearing on
the Courier's report Of its death
which. to quote a famous remark
of Mark Twain, was greatly exag-
gerated," the magazine contains
much rich material on the condi-
tons and rising struggles of the
toiling African masses. In this is
included trenchsnt exposure Of
the development Of fascist terror
by the agents of British imperialism
on the Gold Coast, West Africa,
and of the heroic resistance of the
Negro masses to the fascist attacks;
an analysis Of the bitter rivalry Of
the imperialist bandits for control
of Abyssinia, and articles on the
growing danger of new world war
with reports of the anti-war and
antiFascist struggles of Negro and

TOledO'Death Marchers
Write Commissioners
Over Phone Bill

THE Joint Action Committee on
Unemployment, the united front
committee which is leading the
heroic strike and picket line of the
single unemployed men in Toledo,
took up the matter of payment of
telephone bills which the County
Relief Commissioners had incurred
when the single men barricaded
themselves inside the Court House
and telephoned their relief demands
to State and Federal officials.
The letter of the single men to
the County Commissioners follows:

Toledo, Ohio.
Dear Sirs:
1t has come OF our attention
that the sentiment of your body
that the telephone bill run up by
the Unemployed Single Men in
your offices November 9Th is caus-
ing you considerable concern. We
are glad to learn that the county
commissioners are becoming con-
cerned about something, even so
remotely attendant to the relief
problem in Lucas County.
1t might relieve you to learn
that although we feel that in
making the telephone calls to
Roosevelt and Hopkins, etc., the
Unemployed Single Men were
doing the job you should have
been doing long ago, and every
day If necessary, We are certain
that those responsible for placing
the telephone calls will not pre-
sent the County Commissioners
with bill for their services for
performing the duties of the
county commissioners,
However, if you must present a
bill Of some sort to some one, we
suggest you try the offices of

SPLITTING THE ATOM

Z
1t is not commonly known that
Soviet scientists are doing some Of
the most important work in the
field of atomic research. Both in
the field Of theory and experiment.
the Soviet investigators are among
the foremost in the world, and their
work is watched with great interest
by the foremost physicists in Eng
land, France and America.
At the moment, the Radium In
stitUte in Leningrad is building an
apparatus for attacking the nucleus
Of the atom that will be one Of the
most effective atom -bombardment
units in operation. AS part Of the
apparatus, the Electroslla works
has just assembled a giant electro
magnet, weighing 40 tons.
The magnet will have a tension
of $4,000 to 10000 Gauss units, and
its action is expected to attain an
equivalent Of 100000 volts. Pro-
tons (the positive ions of hydrogen
brought within the influence of this
magnetic field are expected to
attain speeds of 10000 to 10000
miles a second, approaching the
speed Of light which is 10000 miles
a second.
It is with these speeds that the
protons will hit the atomic target,
and disintegrate the nuclei Of the
atoms that the investigators are
bombarding. With an apparatus
that could only develop a few hum
dred thousand volts, Soviet physic-
lists in Kharkov succeeded in split
ting the lithium atom. The new
weapon, it is believed, will be far
more successful in tearing different
