CLOSE TO STAIN
The reason for their envy is
something greater and far more
unattainable-a close friendship
with Josef Stain, dictator Of all
the RusSias.
And this friendship started
oddly enough because Of Maria S
peculiar ability to raise more
sugar-beets per acre than most
women.
That wasn't exactly what made
Stain like her. Some people say
it was her wistful manner OF
smiling, and her extreme frank,
ness.
But raising lots of sugar beets
qualified her for the rank OF
stakhanovite and being a stak.
hanovite she went to the stak,
hanovite congress in Moscow, and
there met Stain.
All this happened in 1886.

Wdlly's Home
For Rent

BALTIMORE, Feb. 9 G.N.SJ.
The unpretentious row.house in
which the Duchess of Windsor
spent her girlhood, was closed to
visitors today pending results
from the following newspaper
advertisement:
Due to change of residence
of personnel, this house, widely
known as the girlhood home of
the Duchess of Windsor wallis
Warfield) is for lease with orig
inals and reproductions-and
with the nations most interest
ing historical collection"
The home was rented by Mrs.
Helen Hartman and used as a
rooming house when King Edward
VIII renounced his throne so he
could marry the former Balti
morean in December, 1886. Mrs
Hartman was evicted and the
house was transformed into a
museum by a group of persons
who identified themselves only by
their corporation name-"212 East
Biddle Street, Inc"
Originally the admission charge
was 81 but as business declined
the price was lowered until the
owners finally decided to close the
house few weeks ago.

not making money.

Maria has gone long way since
then. From q little farm in the
Ukraine to the Kremlin is a big
step, but she probably has not for
gotten the events of that week in
Moscow during the congress.
She surely remembers how she
was introduced to Stain, how he
was charmed by her simple
naivete, how she sat with him
alone in his private box. And how
he finally turned to her and said:
"Comrade Demchenko, if you
could have anything you wanted,
what would you choose?"
REPLY UNHESITATING
Words like that coming from
one Of the worlds most powerful
rules might have left any girl
gaSring with confusion. But with
out a seconds hesitation, Maria
replied:
"An education"
you shall have it," Stain
said.
Forthwith she was sent to the

A. T. Of L. without previous condi-
tions or understanding, Mr.. Dubinsky
declared that careful analysis had dis
closed that the ten or twelve original
CIO unions represent rs per cent of
the membership of the CI0.
Il have never been for peace at
any price" Mr.. Dubinsky declared,
referring to statement by Mr. Lewis
objecting to peace on such terms "Nor
have our members or general execu-
tive board been for peace at any
price, but what we say is that when
there is a chance to make an honor
able peace, let US have it."
In pleading for resumption of
peace negotiations, Mr. Dubinsky
pointed out that labor has already
suffered series of defeats" as re-
suit of the split in its ranks, and cited
the defeat Of the Wagner wages and
hours bill at the last session of con-
gress as an example
"That defeat would never have
takn place if labor had been united"
he said "The welfare of the entire
trade union movement is definitely and
deeply affected by this situation"
