New York, June 29-(UP)-More than 700 delegates to the ninth na- tional communist convention began @ campaign in every state of the union today to defeat reaction and republicanism in the presidential election. At the closing session of the flve-day convention yesterday in Madison Square Garden, the dele- gates nominated by exclamation Earl Browder, former Kansas book keeper, and James w. Ford, Ala bama-born Negro leader, as the party's candidates for president and vice-president and unanimously ap- proved an eight-point platform de- manding decent" social and econ- omic standards for the working class. The convention reached its climax when 25,000 persons who damned the Garden auditorium to its uppermost balcony cheered the acceptance speeches of their can- didates. Delegates and spectators staged two half hour demonstrations when Browder and Ford were placed in nomination.
 In accepting the nomination, short, black-mustached Browder souvded the party's keynote with a declaration that the chief enemy of

Communists Do Not Like Old ldOrNe1vPoliticalPa Parties

the American people is the republi- can party and its reactionary allies Hearst, the Liberty League and Wal street. He warned the convention that the democratic party cannot be depended upon to defeat the repub- licans and charged President Roose- welt with "retreating before the ate tacks of reaction, surrendering posi- ton after position. The self-styled union party of Lemke and Cough lin," Browder said, lis the product of Hearst-Liberty league intrigue with Lemke clearly 8 stooge for Landon."
 The communist candidate cited the need for @ united front by pro- gressives. He called upon the trade unions, farmers organizations and all progressives to unite in farmer labor party to fight "the rising dan- ger of fascisn and war. "The issue of the 1886 election Is not @ choice between socialism or capitalism. It is a choice between progress and reaction, between democracy and the path towards fascisnn," he said. Browder was the party's unanimous choice since William 2. Foster, chairman of the communist party and three times presidential candi- date, is in poor health. Browder was nominated by Robert Minor, communist candidate for governor of New York.
 The party's eight point platform was nearly entirely devoted to a declaration of support for economic and social changes for the worker and farmer. It declared as an ob- ligation of the American govern- ment establishment of an adequate system of social insurance for the unemployed, the aged, the disabled and the sick. It proposed the adop- ton as law the Frazier-L -Lundeen bill which provides compensation to all unemployed and pensions for the aged from 60 years.
 The party's youth plank called for enactment into law of the Benson- Amlie bill, providing jobs. educa- tional opportunities and vocational training for all youth between 16 and 25 years of age.

.OUINTUPLETS IN
 DANCE ON GREEN

Callander, Ont, June 29-(UP)- The Dionne sisters danced to the music of a 40-piece Salvation Army band and liked 1t so much they de- manded an encore. The band was brought here yesterday to serenade the infants outside the hospital grounds. The concert was more or less an experiment, and nurses and hospital attend dants anxiously watched 1t from the sidelines. Had the babies been frightened, the mu- sic would have been stopped inme- diately.
 The band started playing very softly, and the babies came out on the verandah, fascinated by the Irlu- sic. A nurse led them from the ver- andah to the grass in the yard, and the babies ran to the wire fence to- wards the band. They stood with faces pressed against the heavy mesh. As the band broke into a live ly march one of the babies started to dance, and soor all five little rose-clad figures were dancing When the concert was over, the babies went to the fence, chattering, and the band had to render an en- core.

President Resigns

Geneva, June 2e-(UP)--Presi- dent Edouard Benes of Czechoslo- vakia, formally resigned today as president of the League of Nations assembly.
 Rome, June 29-(UP)-Italy to- day was ready to return to active participation in European affairs if the League of Nations assembly, scheduled to meet in Geneva to- morrow, lifts sanctions and rescinds it's verdict branding Italy the ag- greSsor in the war with Ethiopia.
 A foreign office. memorandum, slated for publication today, was reported to argue that the Ethiop- ian government is non-existent and that the Ethiopian people have re- pudiated Emperor Halle 6alassie.
 The government hopes its menl- orandum will prevent an Ethiopian delegation from sitting with the league assembly when 1t considers council proposals to abolish anti- Italian sanctions. It hopes also to avert league vote of censure on Italy's annexation of Ethiopia.
 The memorandum, drafted by Count 0aleazzo Ciano, new foreign minister, reportedly cites Italy'S plans for development of Ethiopia, it's action in freeing slaves, and It's determination to maintain religious freedom in the conquered territory.
 The most optimistic officials hoped the memorandum, to be filed with the league secretariat on the verge of the extraordinary assembly council session called by Argentina to consider the East African con- flict, would initiate efforts to. re- cognize Italy's conquest of Ethiopia
