Unemployment Group
Runs Child Center
New York, N. Y


Comrade Editor:
May I point out an apparent er-
ror in the recent article on the art
work at the Tompkins Square Chill
dren's Center, by Douglas McDon-
aid? 1t is not carried on under the
auspices of the Young Pioneers, but
under the local Unemployment
Council. Of the 10 children who
frequent the classes, as yet not
more than a half dozen are Pho
neers. Their ages range from 2 to
IA years, and they are spread over
classes in painting, dramatics, car
pentry, dancing and rhythm.
AS a supplement to Douglas
McDonald's article, I'd like to add
that the object of the place is to
educate the children of the sur
rounding blocks through the cres-
tive arts to class consciousness. At
present they are raw material ideo-
logically unproletarianized, Later
we expect to present the movement
with widely educated proletarian
children, conscious and expressive
Of their class. We hope that this
center will be a contribution to q
deeper educational development OF
the Pioneer movement. A full de-
tailed account of the work and be-
ginnings of this Center will be pub
lished in the February issue of So
cial Work Today.

Contrasts Two
Radio Speeches
Comrade Editor:
by Burck

DAOOf>A1 49, ~
Comrade Editor
I turned my radio on to station
WABC an hour before Corliss
Lamont was scheduled to speak so
that I'd not overlook his radio adj
dress, I heard Kate Smith intro
ducing a famous newspaper re-
porter, Jack Lait. He related his
experience on newspapers for the
past thirty years. He spoke of the
murder, criminal and kidnapping
trials he had covered, admitting
this country had more crime than
any other, but that love and ro-
nance would overcome that. AS
long as we have people like Kate
Smith and our new Deal President,
America would be safe.
Then, Corliss Lamont's broadcast
with his clear decisive facts of the
Soviet Unions progress, both in
dustrially and culturally, claiming
to be no Utopia, but land Of
hope and promise. This proved to
me as it should anyone else listen
ing to these two people, what a
farce this land of Democracy" is.
Let us have more broadcasts like
Corliss Lamont's, the most interest
ing have ever heard yet.

Hearst Wants More
Cannot Fodder

Brooklyn, N. Y.
Comrade Editor:
I notice that since Arthur Bris-
bane has assumed the editorship
of the Daily Mirror new page has
been started to play on the ideal
istic instincts of the masses. Mr..
Brisbane, Mr.. FSearst and company
are ardently advocating marriage
to young people. Is it any wonder
that this man is the highest paid
newspaperman in the country? His
technique at the fine art of mass
corruption is masterful, indeed.
What does this seemingly harm
less sentimental trash mean: If not
way to solve relief problems by
shifting the burden of support of
unemployed girls on the struggling
young men who work for starvation
wages to turn the attention of the
idle young away from dangerous
radicalisn; to breed children for
cannon fodder for future imperial
ist wars?
Let Mr.. Brisbane depict the
shabby company owned huts in the
Pennsylvania mine regions, the
malnutrition of tenant farmers in
the South, the slum districts of our
own city or the tubercular sweat
shops all over the country. Let him
take us into the millions of homes
of tragedy which young dreams
once built, let him depict the heart
aches, the broken lives of people,
which must be the fate of those
whom he is trying to sell in mar
rage!
Mr., Brisbane, the devil should
salute you for your un-American-
ism, your hypocrisy and your
Hearst-directed prostitution of the
American mind.

Comrade Editor:
l am thrilled by your exposure of
the rotteness of such fascist mouth
pieces as Hearst and MacFadden.
I believe that your vigilant counter
attacks against these swine are ex-
tremely valuable. The American
people owe the Daily Worker a
great debt for its work in con-
stantly exposing hypocrites, dema-
gogues and fascists.
I look forward with great in

State Treasury Deficit
Bigger Than Predicted
Says Tax Commission

I
ALBANY, N. Y, Feb. 5. - The
Mastick Tax Revision Commission
estimated today that the State
treasury deficit on July /, 1885
would be $99,oo0,OO0 instead of STA
100000 predicted by Governor Leh-
man, according to a United Press
dispatch.
To raise between $4,000, 900 and
S211,000,000 in taxes, the commits
sion is piling burdens on the con-
sumner and small business man. The
Commission advocates increasing
the gasoline tax because motorists
are not paying their snare of the
tax burden which instead is being
| shifted to real estate"

Prepare the Auto Strike Now

CEVEN hundred workers of the Murray

a result of Roosevelts extension of the
anti-labor auto-code The auto workers
are demanding immediate strike prepare

William Green and his lieutenant Dill
lon, are meanwhile marking time. They
are doing nothing to prepare strike or to
strengthen the union Green is sitting in
Washington, talking against the decision
of Roosevelt, against the employers Auto
Labor Board, and against Richberg. But
IN deeds, Green is holding the auto work
ers back.
At the moment when the Roosevelt
government and the auto corporations are
carrying forward their plan to smash the
A. F. of L. and foist company unions on
the workers through the framed up fac
tory elections, Green delays action
Strike preparations must be made now.
The unorganized steel workers must be
brought into the A. F. of L. now before
the present busy production season is over.
The rank and file in the A. F, of L. auto
locals must act now to build their unions

COmrade Krumbein's
Imprisonment
By c. A. HATHAWAY


CHARLES KRUMBEIN is on his way to
y a Federal prison He is sentenced to
serve one and half years for his revolt
tionary working class activities.
He was deliberately convicted on
technical charge; use of a fraudulent pass
port.
But that is not the reason for Com
rade Krumbein's conviction.
He is Jailed for loyalty and heroism
in the working class struggle against CAPT
talist robbery; for devoted service in the
most dangerous sectors of the battlefront
When the agent of American imperial
ism, Chang Kai-shek, was butchering the
Chinese masses in an effort to crush the
struggle of the Chinese people for free
dom from imperialist domination and from
native capitalist robbery and persecution,
Comrade Krumbein fearlessly went to
China as the spokesman for the American
revolutionary workers to aid the Chinese
people in their battle against imperialist
slavery.
His courage and experience gained in
the struggle against Wall Street DONNA
ton here, he freely gave to the Chinese
masses in their struggle against Wall
Streets bloody henchmen there. His was
an act of international class solidarity
which will be commended by every worker.
But the bankers and manufacturers,
and their miserable hirelings in Washing
ton, cannot appreciate such revolutionary
working class devotion. They sought ways
and means of bringing him before the bar
of capitalist Justice"
They finally convicted him, not openly
for his services to the workers, but for
fuse of fraudulent passport" in the
domain of the butcher, the callOus muir
derer-Chiang Kai-shek!
Comrade Krumbein, for technical
reasons, admitted that his passport was
not "in order" But not as yesterdays
news report in the Daily Worker implied:
because he had illusions as to the vicious
ness of capitalist justice.
Comrade Krumbein knew very we'll
lesson gained from many bitter class
battles: capitalist Justice always perse-
cutes its working class victims.
He knew in this case that nothing
could be gained by denying what the
agents of the Chang Kai-shek- Roosevelt
alliance were able to prove.
Comrade Krumbein unflinchingly took
his sentence: 10 months in a Federal
prison.
''Tell the comrades he said, "to dig
deeper into the work | will be back at
my post to fight harder than ever in the
front ranks of the working Glass;
Dig deeper into the work" am sure
that every comrade will heed this call of
Comrade Krumbein
Only in this way can we end the damn
able system that sends such heroic work
ing class fighters to jail while the tyrants
of capitalism rob and persecute the people
Comrades, build the Party Strengthen
its revolutionary work! Garry out with
greater zeal and determination the tasks
for which Comrade Krumbein has sacri-
feed his immediate freedom.
Hasten the day of Krumbein's re-
lease!

Suggests Pamphlet On
Indian Question

Montpelier, Iowa
Comrade Editor:
The enclosed seventeen ballots
are an indication of the interest
here in H. R. 1927. I suggest that
another pamphlet be added to fill
q very large gap in our literature,
entitled, THE American Indian"
I think the revolutionary effect of
good analysis of the hardships
and sufferings of the Indian mi
nority would be of benefit to the
workers and credit to the Com
munist Party.

PROPOSAL, MADE THAT INDIANS
MAY ESTABLISH OWN COURTS
Secretary Ickes, Interior Depart
ment, Writes Superintendent
Meyer About Proposition
To Establish Laws
Moses George Of Disautel Re-
ceives Information For West
Side Of Reservation

A proposal under which Indian
tribes throughout the country may
establish their own courts and their
own legal codes has been received
from Secretary Ickes of the De-
partmnt of the Interior by Supt.
Harvey K. Meyers.
The information for the west side
of the Colville reservation regard
ing the plan was sent by Supt. Mey-
ers to Moses George of Disautel.
Change Planned
At the present time, Ickes points
out, the secretary of interior has
practically absolute power to reg
ulate the conduct of Indians of
reservations and to punish disobed-
fence, except with regard to few
such as murder and lar
ceny," over which the federal dis
trict courts have jurisdiction.
Should the Indians adopt the
proposal of the bureau, their own
curtis would assume much of the
responsibility formerly lodged in the
secretary.
The legal code suggested to the
Indians lists 38 common offenses
over which Indian judges would
exercise Jurisdiction.

Miller Fighting
For Certificate
Former Oroville Superintendent
Wins Superior Court Writ;
Seeks Reinstatement

Seeking reinstatement of his
teaching certificate, revoked follow
ing a hearing last summer before
DR.. N. D. Showalter, state director
of education, M. E. Miller, former
superintendent of schools at Oro-
vile, has successfully petitioned
of a superior court writ of certi-
orari.
The writ, issued by Judge William
G. Brown, requires that the state
board of education sent the record
of the case up to superior court in
this county for review, or show
cause why the record should not be
certified to the court.
Miller's certificate was revoked by
Mrs. Ella M. Watkins, county school
superintendent. Her action was up
held by DR.. Showalter after pro-
longed hearing, during which sew
eral members of the Oroville school
staff under Mr.. Miller, had testi-
fled against him.
One of the principal reasons
given when his certificate was re-
voked was an alleged failure to up
hold the discipline of the school
lack of cooperation with the
teachers, and the dismissal of all
the members of the teaching staff
In his application for the superior
court writ, Miller charges that the
hearing before Showalter was not
fairly conducted and that faulty
evidence was submitted and accept
