For 10 years or more they have
been saying that airplane service was
about to be established, and now they
are saying it will be three or four
years more. But the Zeppelin service
already has been established to both
South America and North America,
and We hope to have four Zeppelins
flying to North America"
| Over the Irish Sea and the rocky
| cliffs of Wales we hurried, going for
ward at about IS miles an hour Now
/ down below in the dusk was England
with its neat farms and cathedral
cities, its grimy manufacturing towns
and its lazy rivers flowing from and
into jewel-like lakes.
Somewhere down there" said DR..
Eckener, lis Liverpool" That city is
going to be the home port of the latest
biggest ship in the world The Queen
Mary and the Normandie were built
to cut the passenger time from North
America to Europe to about five days,
but the Zeppelin cuts this hve-day
time in half.
The zeppelins have advantages
over ships and planes They have
| the comfort of ships and are more
cozy and homelike than the big
winged ships. Travel in them is safer
than in airplanes"

The lighted clock on the Metropoli-

The international team of the OK

to be held beginning Friday until
June 8.
DR.. Frank N. D. Buchanan, leader,

will be perfected for at least one large
gathering in Washington next Fall.

DR.. Buchanan declared. should be
the ideal place for a demonstration
of the power of applied Christianity.
Our experience here during the past

Other team members were equally
enthusiastic. DR.. j. E. w. Duys, par
liamentary whip of the Socialist party
of the Netherlands, a veteran of 80
years campaigning for social justice,
told reporters: Il think Americans
understand that unless We hurry the
spiritual revolution we are apt to
have the other kind of revolution all
around the world. What is necessary
to comprehend is that we can obtain
results through fellowship that we
can obtain no other way. And we
must give God a chance"
Reginald A. E. Holme, oxford
alumnus and London newspaper man,
quoted Foreign Minister Anthony Eden
as having said: I'VE do not need new
machinery; we need a new spirit to
work the machinery we have"
Baroness de VAUDEVILLE -Berckheim
of Paris urged the efficiency of Chris
tian principle for the adjustment of
class strife. My husband and I and
our children went through the World
War with the hope that never again
should such trouble come to u.s." she
said. Then, when the war was sup
posed to be over, we found everything
worse than before the beginning of
the struggle. Everybody talked about
revolution. But they meant political
change, not spiritual change. Now,
however, the light is beginning to
dawn. So many people realize that
for better life in the world We must
have braver. more confident. more
generous. more faithful people"

| POOL COMPLETED
Project Is First of w. p. A.
/ Projects to Be CON-
| miSsioned.

The first of the w r. A. projects in
The Washington park system has been
completed, with the commissioning OF
the large wading pool for children in
Langdon Park, Mills avenue and
Eighteenth street northeast The
other W. p. A. projects are in varying
stages Of completion.
Water was turned on for the first
time yesterday at the Langdon pool
and attracted a number of children.
The Langdon Park development, which
comprises IA acres, with land valued
ct ST. 900, now contains permanent
sidewalks, landscaping, a picnic area,
swings and other small children's play
equipment and base ball diamonds.
Public drinking fountains also have
been installed in the park. The dia-
monds are not quite ready yet, al
though some games have been played
on them.
Progress at Banneker.
c. Marshall Finnan, superintendent
of the National Capital Parks, said
the next of the w. P. A. projects
nearest completion is the Banneker
Recreation Center on Georgia avenue,
near Howard University. Four tennis
courts have been constructed there
and four others are nearing compile
tion. Additional seeding, more work
on the running track, base ball dia-
mond and foot ball gridiron is neces-
sary, Finnan said, as is true also of
the small children's area there. Major
grading work has been accomplished.
Takoma Recreation Center Fourth
and Van Buren streets, is another
center of w. P. A. activity. There,
Finnan said, a running track, base
ball and foot ball fields and other play
facilities are now under construction.
Many of these will be available this
Summer and Fall, but the project will
be completed next Spring, he ex-
planned, with the available men and
materials now in sight.
Grading Going Forward.
At the Taft Recreation Center
filling and grading are going forward
with the assistance of w. P. A. en-
ployes. Tennis courts are now in use
there and some base ball facilities
are available, the players using the
ppen field area.
w. p. A. employees also are at work
ut Turkey Thicket Playground. There
the National Capital Parks office is
working the men, but the Districts
sanitary engineer, J. B. Gordon, is
supervising the job Of putting in a
large sewer.
In the Rock Creek and Potomac
Parkway, w. P. A. workers are repair
ing the flood damage. The walks
around the Titanic Memorial, at the
foot of New Hampshire avenue. are
being reconditioned and grading and
landscaping work are being pushed
there.

party of the people. The fight does not end with
this election. 1t is only begun.
The Hearst-H Hamilton complaint against the
American Labor Party is as unsavory a mess
of lies as ever was cooked up in the Hearst
kitchen. Its chief ingredients are malicious I'M
truths about several of the A. L. P. leaders.
Showing their ignorance of the American labor
scene, they have picked the presidents of two
of the most magnificent labor unions in the
world as their special objects of attack, namely
Sidney Hillman of the Amalgamated Clothing
Workers of America and David Dubinsky of
the international Ladies' Garment Workers
Union.
Anyone halfway familiar with American
labor history is aware of the epochal job Of or
ganization and sheer human reform achieved
by these unions. In industries notorious for
sweatshop conditions and jungle exploitation Of
men, women and children, these labor organiza-
tons have given the workers their self-respect,
collective bargaining, decent living and work.

Any attack on the leaders of such unions
is certain to be a boomerang Labor knows its
own spokesman, Name-calling by Hearst or
Hamilton cannot obscure the reality. The
method of red ~scares" invoked by Governor
Landon's henchmen is as old as history. 1t was
used against Thomas jefferson in 1900 just as it
is used against Franklin D. Roosevelt and Hill
man and Dubinsky in 1886. It failed then. 1t will

Murray Explains
Value To Farmers
OF Reciprocal Fdds

Eureka, Oct. Republican speak
ers who seek to use lie importation
of Canadian cattle and other agri-
cultural commodities to brighten the
agricultural vote into the republican
column were answered here today
by Senator James E. Murray, open
ing his campaign for reelection to
the U. S.. Senate.
Il challange Mr.. Larson, republi-
can candidate for the senate, and Mr..
Hazelbaker, candidate of the same
party for governor, to produce the
importation figures for cattle and
pork and wool under any of the re-
publican administrations since 1920,
and to state these along with the fig
ures they are using for the present
Importation" Senator Murray said.
81 have looked up this data and
find that the largest imports of live
cattle since 1920 were made in 1928
during Mr.. Hoover's administration,
when $4,000 head came into this
country. In 1885 the imports were
only $4,000 head.
Likewise the largest importations
of canned beef since 1920 were in
1929, not 1885. Canned beef imports
were actually three and one half
million pounds larger under Mr.
Hoover's administration in 1929 than
they were in 1885.
'"The year of the largest pork and
pork products importations since
1920 was in 1927, under President
Coolidge's administration, not in
1885. In 1927 the imports amounted
to more than 100000 (fifty-sev-
en- million) pounds, or more than
four times greater than in 1885 when
they were less than 100000 -four
teen million) pounds.
Mr.. Larson and Mr.. Hazelbaker, il
they had looked up their import
statistics, must know these facts, or
else they r merely repeating pro-
paganda that was furnished them by
the Chicago headquarters Of the rep
ublican party. l cannot help but
wonder where Mr.. Larson and Mr.
Hazelbaker were in 1928 and 1929,
when all these republican cattle and
hogs were coming into the United
States. Surely if they so firmly be-
lieve in keeping our American mar
ket for American producers to the
last COW and the last sow, they must
have raised vehement protests to Mr..
Coolidge and Mr.. Hoover against the
way the republicans were giving the
American market away to foreign
ers. 1 have looked up the record
and can find no single instance
where Mr.. Larson or Mr.. Hazelbak-
er even bothered to write a letter
about this so-called problem in 1923
and 1929.
perhaps Mr.. Larson or Mr.. Haz-
elbaker will enlighten me on this
subject. I would be glad to know
whether they think the republican
party would do any better now than
when that party was in power from
1920 to 1882"

Labor Party Worries the Tories

Campaign Director, American Labor
Party. New York State Affiliate Of Labor's

HdrJy, new 4OTK OCdCe Affiliate OIL LdUOI )
Non-Partisan League.
Though launched only a few months ago, the
American Labor Party has already drawn
angry attacks from the reactionary coalition.
A left-handed compliment, but a compliment
none the less. Not every political party only six
to eight weeks old is crowned with a full page
of fabrications in the Hearst press, and bitter
denunciations by the campaign manager of a
Presidential candidate.
Messrs. Hearst and Hamilton, in their en-
Uttered campaign of misrepresentation merely
reveal their alarm. They could scarcely be ex-
pected to regard calmly the birth of a new
political force threatening the monopoly of po-
litical power hitherto held by special privilege.
In New York State our party may well hold
the balance of power" in a closely fought cleo
ton. Shrewd political commentators have rec
ognized that the A. L. P. vote may prove the
decisive factor in placing the states AZ electors
in President Roosevelt's column.
But beyond that are the perspectives Of
permanent political organization, in which lib
eral, labor and progressive elements will merge
