LOS ANGELES, Calf. May 18.-
Communists and communism were
given tongue lashing today by Upton
Sinclair in a heated controversy that
broke on the convention floor Of his
lend poverty in California" forces.
Cheers alternated with few cries
Of throw him out" as Sinclair, last
years Democratic candidate for Gov
ernor. charged Communists had in
vaded the convention and were trying
seizing control of the E. p. I. c. move
ment.
Sinclair loyalists yelled: Throw
the Communists out"
Near bedlam prevailed before order
finally was restored.
The scene followed heated charges
by some delegates that others had
been seated without proper creden-
tials.
"You Communists are trying to de-
stroy Democracy" Sinclair shouted.
I'VE z. P. I. Cs know Democracy hasn't
worked out, but we believe we might
save it-and we will have absolutely
nothing to do with any organization
striving to bring about the downfall
of Democracy"
He was greeted with o roar of ap-
plause.
In the bitterly fought gubernatorial
campaign last Fall, Sinclair's most ac-
tive foes accused him Of being a Com
munist and Of seeking to plunge the
State in socialistic experiment with
his "production-fo -for-use" plan.
This scene delayed delivery Of q
speech Sinclair was prepared to make,
advising against any third party
movement and counseling his E p. l. C.
followers to function within the Dem
ocratic party and attempt TO capture

AS described by DR.. Adolph Miller,
chairman of the Building Committee
of the Federal Reserve Board, the de-

"L'Aiglon," in which Eva lie Gal
lienne will appear for one week at
the National Theater beginning to-
morrow night, has been pronounced
by critics and public as one of the
finest achievements in this actress
brilliant career.
The role of the young son of Marie
Louise and Napoleon is one of the
most appealing ever written and the
background of the play. the Austrian
court of the years 1830-1832. is COL
orful and exciting. In addition to
the "Eaglet" the drama contains such
famous historic characters as the
boys mother, Marie Louise; her
father Franz. Emperor of Austria
who. having had his kingdom over
run twice by his Corsican-born
neighbor, decided to win safety for
his country by making the enemy a
member of the family; and Count
Metternich. who first suggested to
Napoleon the Austrian marriage, yet
who, after the French Emperors
downfall. did all he could to prevent
Napoleon's son from ascending his
fathers throne. These and many
other historic persons pass across the
stage in gripping drama of love and
hate, of intrigue and counter-plot, of
mental strength and human frailties.
The English version of the Rostand
drama which Miss La Gallienne uses
has been made by Clemence Dane,

them, distributed like the conserva-
ton camps, throughout what has
been called the length and breadth Of
