Of Indianapolis, Ind.
Justice Bailey, one Of the senior
juristS on the District Supreme
Court bench, has the backing Of
the strong Tennessee delegation,
1t is said, and his work on the
bench has demonstrated his quail
ficationS for the post.
In fact, it is said, he was slated
for the appellate court bench when
it was supposed that Associate
Justice Robb would retire. When
that jurist declined to retire from
his post, a bill was introduced in
Congress to increase the number
Of associate justices on that bench
and it was then reported that
Senator Henry AshurSt would be
named to fill the post and Justice
Bailey would be elevated when
Justice Robb decided to retire.
Elevation Expected
Whether this arrangement Is TO
be altered remains an enigma to
court followers. However, there
are many who think that Justice
Bailey will be elevated and among
those are a large number of as
pirants to the vacancy on the Dis.
trict Supreme Court bench which
will be occasioned by his eleva-
ton.
These aspirants, according to
reports, include United States At
torney Leslie C. Garrett, Corpora
ton Counsel E. Barrett Prettyman
and H. Winship Wheatley, presi-
dent of the District Bar ASSocia-
ton, who is prominent in Demo
cratic activities in Maryland.
Colonel Garrett, with the in

Court vacancy if Justice Bailey
is elevated, despite the adverse re-

Although for obvious reasons
such a position could not be dis
closed officially at this time,
there was strong belief the cabinet
reached the conclusion that there
are two insurmountable obstacles
to peace in Africa. These were :

Disciplinary Action Seen

House Progressives today read into
o rer,ark by Speaker Byrns a direct
war;. I of disciplinary action against
any | snocrats who stray into the
new aggressive bloc, which Byrns
termed ythe beginning of third
party movement"
The Speaker, asked what might
happen II the Is House Democrats
who attended the first meeting of the
bloc, replied:
Similar Nc iements Made.
MY guess W Id be that they might
be called to fscount. Understand, l
don't say I wotfld do that. don't say
that anybody would do that with my
approval. But similar movements
have been made in the past with SINH
lar results"
Representative Kvale, Farmer-Labor,
of Minnesota, who called the bloc's
first meeting, replied:
Which means that if Democrats
try to be legislators, the powers are
going to withhold filthy lucre and
radio speakers needed in campaign
time, as we'll as patronage privileges
or other forms of polite bribery used
as bait to keep people within party
lines.
Il think that if that is going to be
the attitude of administration leaders,
We'll have a showdown real soon. The
statement shows that such an organ
ization is needed.
IF such arguments persist, it won't
take long to show that we are the
real friends Of the New Deal and that
the supposed administration hackers
are not only ambidextrous but are
using their left hands most of the
time.
Welcomes New Members.
I'VE have made no attempt to seek
members. but anybody who chooses
to join us and who has high, unselfish
motives, will be welcomed"
Byrns asserted he was mot Wor-
ried' by the movement, which is said
by its hackers to be designed to OBJ
tain a balance of power" in the
House. The Republican leaders, re-
marking that, with their small mi
nority, they could get nowhere in the
House anyhow. apparently contem-
plated no action against the eight
party members who attended the first
meeting.
The bloc's Policy Committee was al
work. Representative Boileau, Pro-
gressive, of Wisconsin, the committee
chairman, said he would be ready tc
report back to the group lin the next
few days" Kvale said a new meet
ing would be called when Boileau was
ready.

Fighting for Immediate Needs

Question: Why do Communists fight for better
working conditions and other immediate demands7
If they allowed things to become worse then the
workers would rise up and destroy the capitalist
systemic. J. S.
Answer: Communists fight for every demand and
need of the working class because as the vanguard
Of the working class they have no other interests
apart from the interests of the workers In fighting
for immediate demands the workers learn the value
and need Of organization. They become aware Of
the enemy forces which stand between them and
economic security. They prepare themselves for the
final task Of destroying capitalism and all its in
stitutions Of exploitation and oppression.
If Communists were merely to tell the toilers to
wait for conditions to get worse they would be be-
trayng the interests of the workers It is now when
the capitalist class is attacking the living standards
of the working class that the workers must be rail-
lied to a counter attack. To do nothing would mean
Gripping the forces of the workers; it would hand
them over helpless to the enemy class 1t is impor
tant to emphasize that one of the most important
lessons that Lenn taught us is that we cannot just
wait for conditions to grow from bad to worse for
capitalism to crumbe away automatically.
The capitalist class which owns the economic in
unless the workers take them. To do this success
fully and to destroy the power Of the capitalist class
the working class must be organized around the
struggle for its immediate needs and demands. In
these everyday struggles the workers learn the
necessity Of fighting the power Of the capitalist
state. They prepare for its eventual revolutionary
destruction and the setting up Of workers state
the dictatorship of the proletariat.

jeopardy to the frank manner in
which she has recounted what actu-

says that in way it is a compl-

consider her a danger to them.

more signs that the poison was af-
fecting him.
He lay on the ground, muttering
unintelligibly, and there were tears
in the eyes of every one of us wit
Messing his painful condition. The
doctors and the other medical at
PENDANTS did not know how to help
him, for "Mathi," under the effect
of the poison, threw himself like a
mailman upon everybody who APP
preached him. Finally, six strong
nurses succeeded in throwing him
onto the bed, and in holding him
while his stomach was pumped.
This was continued until every
sign of the poison had disappeared.
THE danger had passed, but he lay
i on his bed in a state of semi
consciousness. I sat by his bed all
night. He was still suffering from
the effects Of the poison. He lay
there m uttering continuously. He
talked on and on from IL O'Clock
in the evening until in the morn
ing, and then he fell asleep.
The memory of that night at the
bedside of the sick Rakosi has
spurred me into the writing OF these
lines. During that night Matthias
Rakosi unburdened himself of all
his thoughts. Everything, even his
very innermost thoughts, were re-
vealed to me. Everything said by
him about our life in general and
about his private life, our plans and
discussions, etc, correspondent ex-
actly to the facts.
During that night, Matthias
Rakosi showed us that all his
thoughts and hopes belonged to the
revolution. All his recollections, all
his feelings were connected with the
Party, the Soviet Republic, and the
revolution. At the bedside of Ma
thiaS Rakosi we were shown the
model of true revolutionary, a
crystally clear character, a splendid
Communist and a. trusted friend,
And all his later work in the ranks
of the Party, and during his eight
and half years of imprisonment,
proved these qualities.
Now the Horthy government is
again attempting to do away with
Matthias Rakosi. All forces must
be rallied to his defensel Every
effort must be made to save Matthias
Rakosi!
