TRYONZA, Ark, Feb. 6.-Charged
with disturbing the peace" be-
cause they addressed a meeting of
Negro and white share troopers.
Lucien Koch, director of Common
wealth College, and Bob Reed.
Commonwealth student are to have
hearing today in Marion, Ark.
The two men we're seized and
beaten last Friday night by armed
planters, who invaded meeting of
sharecroppers at Gilmore, in Crit
tenden County, and took them
away in car with threats to lynch
the "goddamned niger lovers
The armed invasion of the meet
ing followed on the heels of the
recent conviction of Ward Rogers,
Socialist Party member and an or
ganizer of the Southern Tenant
Farmers Union, and the arrest Of
several other organizers. A fierce
terror is now raging against Negro
and white troopers who attended
the meeting.
The meeting Friday night had
been called to organize a local of
the union in Crittenden County. A
Negro chairman, an ex-minister,
presided. Koch told how even the
cotton acreage reduction program,
from which all were supposed to
benefit, had been the means of en-
aiding the landlords to squeeze out
the small farmer, buy up more land.
and force the tenant farmers off
the land, When Koch quoted from
the Federal contract" with the
landlords, and cited some of the
few small benefits the share crop
pers are supposed to receive, there
were explanations of amazement
from the audience. These pro-
visions had ben concealed from the
troopers and tenant farmers by
both the planters and the federal
agents.
AS Negro and white share
started joining the union,
a group of four men, all armed with
pistols, came in and seized Koch
and Reed.
Down the road they were joined
by the deputy sheriff Realizing
that the abductors had been recog-
nized by too many people to safely
permit the carrying out of a lynch
ing, the deputy sheriff took the
speakers into custody
Following protest by the Inter
Labor Defense they were
released, but later re-arrested and
charged with disturbing the peace"

terror plastering or other finish,
and paint may be applied directly
to the structural wall.
Q.-What kinds of materials
are used for insulating hOmes2
A.-Materials for the insula-
ton of homes fall roughly into
three classes: First, insulating
boards; second, blankets or quilts
which may be folded and stuffed
and tucked into position, and,
third, fill materials which fill the
hollow spaces between studs,
rafters or floor beams. Insulating
boards are made of wood or vege-
table fibers, compressed into
rigid sheets approximately one
half inch thick. Lighter than
wood, because Of their fiher-cellu-
lar nature, they are nevertheless
very strong, comparing favorably
in structural strength with wood
sheating horizontally applied.
They are naturally much better in
sulators than solid wood, and for
that reason are often selected for
the sheathing of new homes and
as attic Innings to retard the pas
sage Of heat still further. In
existing homes, insulating boards
can be applied to the roof rafters
or over the open floor, where they
help to turn back summer heat
and to retain costly heat in win
ter. They also provide economy
and ease in the construction OF
extra rooms of all kinds, and can
be painted, papered, stained or
plastered if desired. Literature is

On Modern Design

Taking cognizance Of a new
stylistic trend in home designing,
the Federal Housing Administra-
ton today, through Miles L. Co.
lean. director of the Technical
Division, issued a report on the
divisions findings for the guild
ance of field officers.
Mr.. Colean finds the modern

method of exterior treatment.
He finds this exterior treatment
to be simply the final expression
of fundamentally related develop
ments in plan and structure.
Coincident with the appearance
of the modern dwelling so de-
signed is the home which pre-.
tends to be modern but whose
new fashioned dressing is d.

tural trend. For the latter, Mr..
Colean sees but a short life, be
lieving new designs can prevail
only when developed as a result
of modern neeGs and a new mode
of living.
Mr.. Colean says in part:
"The concept of the modern
house as q perforated box or an
assemblage Of grotesque shapes
no longer prevails. Although it
is true that simplicity Of the
forms to be dealt with and the
abandonment Of decorative fea-
lures puts q heavy burden upon
the imagination Of the designer,

duce a house which is pleasing
