", B. IA. SOUGHT
BY DETROIT FIRM
Bus Truck Service by Rail
Between Three Cities
Is Planned.
By the Associated Press.


ANNAPOLIS, Md, June ga De-
troit, Mich, firm, manufacturers of
buses and trucks that operate either
on rails or highways, is negotiating
to purchase the Washington, Balti-
more & Annapolis Railway, 1t was
learned today, with view to operat-
ing 100 passenger and freight units
over the lines connecting the three
cities.
The firm-the Evans Products Co.
has developed what is known as an
"auto-railer," consisting of front and
rear steel pilot railroad wheels, at
tached to a conventional type bus or
truck. One Of the buses was DEM
onstrated here to Naval Academy OFF,
Gals and business men.
Bus Runs on Own Tires.
The bus or truck operates over
highways with the steel pilot wheels
raised, but these can be let down
when the vehicle reaches the tracks,
and operation is continued without
delay. The bus runs on its own tires
on the rail, with the pilot wheels
guiding it along the track. Arriving
at the destination, the steel wheels
are retracted and the bus leaves the
railroad for the street.
e. j. Hawkins of Detroit demon
strated the bus to Capt. Ray Spear,
who represents the academy in mat
Lieut.. Comdr. T. Patterson, aide to
Rear Admiral David Foote Sellers,
superintendent of the academy.
Franklin K. Lane, jr.. attorney, and
G. Hall Roosevelt, engineer, are said
to be handling the financial negotia-
lions for the purchase in washington
and Baltimore. E. S. Evans, president
of the company, is expected from De-
troit shortly.
The property of the railroad, recent
iy sold at public auction, is in control
of the Federal court, which will deter
mine its future fate. 1t was sold in
81 separate parcels, many of which
are overlapping. The w., B. 81 A.
bondholders bought the terminals, road
beds and the short line from Annapolis
to Shipley and a right of way from
Shipley into Baltimore.
Seeks Entire Road.
TIE Detroit concern, it was said, Is
seeking to purchase the right Of way,
trackage and block signal system Of
the entire road, but, If this is impos-
sible, will attempt to secure portion
Of the system.
Hawkins pointed out that terminal
stations would not be necessary, as
the buses could leave the rails to
deliver passengers, and trucks could
pick up freight from stores or fac
tories, simply using the rails to run
between points on the railroad.
He said the "auto-railers" had been
operated over a 79-mile run on the
Michigan Air Line division of the
Grand Trunk Railroad between Pom
tiac and Jackson.

Lead LoW-Scoring Field.
Little Trails.
By the Associated Press.

MUIRFIELD, Scotland. June 26.-
Forty-f1ve-year-old Macdonald Smith,
registered from Glendale, Calf,
made an suspicious start in his bid
for the British open golf champion
ship today with o sub-par first round
of SO over the Mutrfield course.
Smiths score placed him one stroke
behind the defending champion,
Henry Cotton, who shot the layout
In So.
With few breaks on the green's on
the second nine, Smith might easily
have led the field with score of IS.
On three holes his puts either stopped
on the edge Of the cup or slid inches
past. The Carnoustie-born Scot was
out in par SO and then shaved three
strokes of regulation figures for the
incoming side. Cotton toured the first
nine in 80 and came back in IS.
Low Scoring General.
The play was generally faster than
in last years championship. With
three-quarters of the field of 100
starters in the 72-hole title grind re-
ported in with first round scores,
there were II players with cards Of
70 or better in comparison to 10 pars
or better for the opening session a
year ago.
Frank Ball, formerly from Atlanta.
Ga, went out in 80 and came back
in the same hg Ires for a score of rs.
to land a spot far down the list.
Cotton's -shattering performance
gave him a lead of 8 strokes over his
closest pursuer, P. M. Burch, another
British pro, who carded mines of SO
and IS for 71-one under par. Both
were among the early starters.
Little Shoots IS.
Par yielded to the efforts of Ernest
Kenyon and the former French and
Belgian open champion, A. j. Lacey.
Kenyon did the course in 1896 for q
70, while Lacey was one stroke higher
with 35-36-71. Bert Gadd, another
Briton, started auspiciously with a
front nine of 32-four under par--and
then blew up to take an incoming 40
for 70.
The first invader from the United
States to complete the opening round
of the 72-hole test, William Lawson
Little, jr., of San Francisco, produced
rs to find himself far OF the pace
Of the par-busting Briton.
After being IL strokes over par for
Is holes, Joe Kirkwood, the trick-shot
artist from Chicago, tore UP his score
card and withdrew from the tourna-
ment. Kirkwood qualified with a. 36-
hole total of 146. ,
Co-favorite with Smith among the
invaders. Henry Picard of Hershey,
Pa, the big money winner and low
scorer of the t934-35 American Win
ter transforming season, posted a
flrst-round par u, fashioned from
mines Of SO each.

Block Syndicalisn
Prosecutions

Our fight for working class rights for the
very existence OF our organizations, has reached
a sharply critical period.
The third Portland criminal syndcalism
trial, that of Edward Denny, Communist unem-
ployed leader, is now going on. Two previous
trials have resulted in conviction. Don Cluster
OF the Young Communist League was given a
one year sentence and paroled Dirk De Jonge
was sentenced to SEVEN YEARS. His case goes
before the Oregon state supreme court on APP
peal
In Medford, Kyle Pugh has been tried for
criminal syndicalism, convicted and given
FIVE YEAR sentence His case also has been
appealed.
At the same time, in New York City, the de-
portatiOn OF three Northwest workers has been
stopped by legal and mass action organized by
the International Labor Defense and the Com
mittee for Protection OF Foreign Born. Oscar
Mannisto of Astoria Ray Carlson OF Spokane,
and John Ujeh of Tacoma, face this deportation
threat two of them to outright fascist countries.
Criminal syndicalism and deportation
are the weapons which the bosses legal machin-
cry uses to destroy our organizations to deny
us the elementary rights of free speech, press,
and organization when our militant Organiza-
tions become dangerous to their New Deal pro-
fits.
But we have an answer to this threat. 1t is
protest, plus the best legal aid we can get. To
each individual and to each working class Or
ganization, the International Labor Defense APP
peas for support in its campaign of protest
and adequate legal defense.
The appeals in the De Jonge and Pugh con-
vctions will cost over $500. Legal action in the

Poor Turnout
At Meeting of
White Guards

SEATTLE, Jan. 24-The widely
heralded meeting, called Sunday
January 10, by Seattle's White
Guard Russian colony to protest
the terror in Soviet Russia" was
attended by miserable crowd OF
less than 200 people.
The White Guards secured the
large Masonic Temple hall for
the occasion, thinking that the
Hearst press lies and Islander
about the Soviet Union were
making an impression on the
Seattle public and that their
meeting would fill the huge hall.
instead they found their own
little circle, handful of Vigil
antes and a Hearst reporter on
hand to kiss the claws of the
monster OF reaction.
To keep up their courage, how
ever, the White Guards drooled
wild anti-working class slogans,
and repeated Hearst's hysterical
lies.
They were joined by the en-
inent labor-hater, Joseph Marks,
chairman of the American Le-
gion's "Americanism" committee,
who chanted with Hitler-like fer
vor the fascist program of the
American Legion officialdom.
Marks was rOundly applauded,
and told to come up and see us
again some time"
Resolutions praising Hearst
and condemning the Soviet IN
ion and the Communist Party
were passed, as the frantic little
group huffed and pulled to do
their part in blowing down the
mighty working class chimneys.
On the evening Of this day
workers and students jammed
Eagles hall for a mass meeting
against war and fascism.
