lished the facts which would give
ground directly to accuse the mem
bers of the Moscow center" of CIV
ing consent, or instructions to Or
ganize for the commission of ter
rorist acts directed against Kirov.
But the whole atmosphere of their
group and the nature of their &C
tivities in the underground counter
revolutionary organizations of the
Moscow center" prove that they
knew of the terroristic frame of
mind of members of this group.
And they provoked this frame of
mind.
The members of the Moscow
center" in the first place accused
zinoviev, Evdokimov, Gertik and
Kamenev for the results of their
underground counter-revolutionary
activities which pushed their Len
ingrad group on the road to ter
roristic acts, and that they must
therefore bear not only moral but
political responsibility. They must
also bear responsibility according to
Soviet law. This responsibility, at
least morally and politically, the
accused cannot but take upon
themselves.
The accused Bakayev, Gorshenin,
Fedorov, Evdokimov, Sharov, Kuklin
and Gertik admitted their partici-
patton in the Moscow center" The
accused Hessen, Permov, Bravo,
Herzberg, Faivilovitch and Sakhov
admitted their participation in the
nter-revolutionary zinovie v
group.
The accused Tsarkov, Anishev,
Bashkirov and TaraSov admitted
their participation in the Leningrad
underground counter-revolutionary
Zinoviev group. The accused Ka-
menev also pleaded guilty, confirm
ing that until 1892 he participated
in the underground counter-revolu-
tionary activities, and was a mem
Der of the Moscow center" and to
the very end did not break his con-
nections with Zinoviev.
Kamenev further admitted that:
Il insufficiently, with lack of ac-
tivity and energy, fought against
the Decentralization which was the
result of the struggle against the
Party upon the ground whereof
the gang of bandits from the
scum of former anti-Party or
ganization could arise and carry
out their crime"

ers' population Scores of new towns
have sprung up around these huge
plants of socialist industry. The
urban population has increased over
fifty per cent in the course of the
past four years. More than 80 bill
lion rubles have been invested in
new house building in the period
since the previous Congress of Sow
lets, and more than IS billion rubles
were invested in other branches Of
municipal construction. The Con-
gress will outline ways Of further
development of municipal economy
in the R. S. F. S. R.
Health Factors
The report of the Health Com
missariat will occupy an important
place in the Congress: The country
possesses everything necessary max
ing for healthy conditions of work
in everyday life and for strengthen
ing the physical health of the toll
ers. The growth Of material well
fare Of the workers and collective
farmers, the absence of unemploy-
ment, the reduction of the working
day, the growth of social insurance
funds, the tremendous development
of housebuilding and municipal en-
terprises are factors making for a
healthy life in the U. S. S. R.
Steadfastly and persistently carry
ing out Lenin's and Stains national
policy has resulted in a considerable
economic and cultural growth in
the national regions, particularly
those which have been backward
in the past. Their industry has
reached a tremendous scale, their
agriculture has been reconstructed,
and the material and cultural level
of the toilers who lived in ignorance
during ezardom has risen.
Constitutional Notifications
The Congress of Soviets will hear
the report of the social, cultural and
economic construction of the Tar
tar Soviet Socialist Republic. The
report regarding modification Of
certain points of the constitution Of
the R. S. F. S. r. is also included on
the agenda. These notifications
and supplements follow from the
economic growth demanding neces-
sary organizational changes.
The election of Soviets again
proved that millions of workers and
collective farmers, all the toilers Of
the country of the Soviets, are
welded around the Communist Party
under the great banner of Marx,
Lenin and Stain. Keeping extreme
vigilance under this banner, they
will march towards new victories in
socialist construction and construct

Not Leaving
Firetrap,Say
Relief Official

The Home Relief Bureau is not
making plans to abandon its build
ing at 27 Sheriff Street, an admitted
fire hazard, it was revealed at yes
terday's session of the AIdermanic
committee investigating relief by
Jack M. Hirsch, in charge of the
Building Management Bureau of
the relief organization. Precinct 7
Of the Home Relief Bureau is
housed at the Sheriff Street ad-
dress.
Hirsch's testimony was elected in
the course of protracted question
ing at the hands of Kenneth Day
ton, the committees counsel. He
knew relatively little of the hazard
Gus character of the building, Mr..
Hirsch claimed.
Dayton, however, introduced a
series of letters from various city
departments, including the Fire De-
partment and the Bureau of Com
bustibles, proving that the firetrap
nature of the building had been
pointed out on a number of &C.
casions, although not all the re-
ports had been addressed to Hirsch
directly.
Building in Dangerous Condition"
One letter in particular caused
Mr.. HirSch evident discomfort. This
was from Michael Conway, head of
the Bureau of Combustibles, to the
Elco Paint Products Company in
the third floor of 81 Sheriff Street
and owned by the same man who
owned the building. The Conway
letter, dated Oct. 10, 1884, enclosed
the report of a member of the local
fire company in the vicinity of the
relief bureau which termed the
building in dangerous condition.
Toilet facilities in the building
were in violation to health depart
ment regulations, it was also re-
vealed, there being only two toilets
for $50 women, and the same num-
Der for $50 male workers. The law
calls for one toilet to every Is per-
sons of each sex.
1t had been reported at a previous
session of the committee that there
were no toilet facilities at all for the
800 clients who come to the relief
bureau each day.
A request to have the Fire, Health
and Building Departments report
on the building at 10 am. today,
when the committee will reconvene,
was adopted

This strategy has pushed the

HARAR, Ethiopia, Oct. 81
(UP)-Thousands of Ethiopian
and Italian soldiers were locked
in the first major battle of the
month-old war in Ogaden, south
ern Ethiopia, last night.
Information from the south
said the armies of Dejazmatch
Nasibu and Ras Desta Demptu,
numbering approximately $780,
900 well-equipped warriors, were
attempting to halt the Italian ad-
vance toward Jijiga, Harar and
Diredawa, a point on Ethiopia's
only railroad.
The Philippians were reported
standing their ground admirably
against Italian armored cars,
baby tanks and airplanes. The
Italian columns were reported at
tempting to converge on Magalo,
trading center for the southeast,
which was bombed and set fire
yesterday.
The Philippians were reported
massed on the eastern side of the
ruined town. A fierce battle there
was imminent, if not already in
progress, all information indicat-

cats will meet Canton high schoo!

noon at $3.50
After a poor start last week
against Black Mountain the Cats
opened up in the second half to
show some real football and
against the strong Canton team
they are hoping to crash into the
winning column.
Canton always has a strong
team and in the past has manag-
ed to give the Cats plenty OF
trouble on all occasions and Fri
day will be no exception. Any
momentary lapses such as the 10.
Gals experienced last week will
probably prove fatal against the
visitors tomorrow.
Coach Jones will probably start
the same lineup that saw action
last week. Brown and Drake at
ends, Powers and Thibodeau at
tackle, and Gianakos and Miller
at guards. Captain Turner in the
pivot position and Lampley, Stew
art, Brothers and Crowder in the
backfield.
If the Cats can produce some
high grade blocking tomorrow the
backs will be hard to stop. Bill
Crowder, Lampley and Brothers
produced some nice running last
week and are in shape to go to-
morrow.
