of our aspirations: through which, in
turn, we may bring to American lis
teners something of the lives and as
pirations of our friends throughout

intend to find out about it," he de-
clared. Il want Mr.. Mason to tell
the committee what he knows. There
is a possibility that Mr.. Mason S
statement was just a Republican
thrust"
Testimony Involves Teachers.
Mr.. Frey devoted most of his testi-
mony at the afternoon session yes
terday attempting to show how Com
munists gained control of the Teach
ers' Union in New York City. and the
efforts of Soviet Russias emissaries in
this country to get control of politics.
Among the numerous reports he in
troduced was one purporting to be an
account of special meeting of the
leading elements in the American
Communist party in New York City
in May. 1887. which was called to dis
cuss decisions of the Paris Confer
ence of Communist parties throughout
the world.
One excerpt from this report read
The Paris Conference was unani-
nous in agreeing that the American
Communist party's conception of the
Peoples Front was too narrow. that
it is no longer possible to assume that
a real Peoples Front can be raised
in the United States simply by trying
to build farmer-labor parties 1t is
necessary to broaden the Peoples
Front policy so that the Communists
can have an immediate perspective
as they cannot wait for the organiza-
ton of farmer-labor party. but must
begin now to work toward People S
Front That means that the Com
the present favorable conditions and
work inside of the Democratic party
because there are elements in that
party that are anti-Fascist, progress
sive and really democratic. Develop
ments to date show that such pene-
tration of the Democratic party in the
United States is possible and produces
good results"
Cites Nom Partisan League.
Another paragraph in that report
said:
The Communist party must work
with Labor's Non-Partisan League
headed by Maj. George L. Berry, re-
Gently appointed United States Sena-
tor from Tennessee. The Communist
party can also do some effective work
in certain places in the United States
in the Republican party, especially in
those States like Wisconsin and Min
nesota, where the Republican party
has left-wing elements"
And later. the report added: "'
One of the most effective means o.
getting Communist party candidates
into Office is to utilize the unions Or
ganized by John l.. Lewis c. I. O
and to get the latter to indorse Com
munist party candidates on old party
tickets"
One OF the documents Mr.. Frey
mySteriously shrouded in secrecy He
| introduced its evidence but refused tc
read it because, he said, he did not
want to interfere with the comfy
Of nations"
This report Mr.. Frey intimated was
prepared by a Communist who hao
investigated conditions in Mexico, and
was submitted to the political bureau
of the Communist party at a meet

Efficiency in livestock trading is equalled only
by the packing houses efficiency in dressing its
meat. Above is typical scene where buyer and
seller transact their business verbally, in
writing until some time later significant fea-
ture of these transactions is that all animals are
paid for in cash and the check in settlement is
rendered on the day of the sale.
Soon thereafter, the livestock will be its way
through the packing house. From the time it is
dressed, meat is kept under constant refrigera-
ton, going through processing until it appears
in wholesale cuts, fresh from the cutting depart
ment and ready for the retail trade.
