next morning. "You have received
no letter from me. Do tell me what

long the Playwrights' Co. was
getting interested via telephone
from New York. Seems the situa-
ton had been as startling to Alfred

think of to inspire immediate action.

So far as we know Kanin is free

everything, censorship, critics, the
social menace represented by SWIM

position Of stockholders, the evils
of money, the value of alcoholic
stimulants in tropical climates, hay
fever cures, the weaknesses of mo-

subjects. And not only does he
have opinions about these. and other
things, but he is willing to spill
them anywhere on the theory that
one of the finest things about this
country is that it is free. 1t is a
refreshing and admirable thing to
find some one who will say it is a

NEW YORK, Jan. 20.-George
Gordon Battle, counsel for Earl
Browder, general secretary of the
Communist party in the United
States, announced tonight he would
call no witnesses when Browder's
trial on charges of using a passport
obtained by fraud resumes Monday.
The Government rested its case
against Browder at the week end
adjournment yesterday.
Mr.. Battles announcement ended
widespread speculation as to
whether Browder, the active head of
his party, would take the stand in
his own defense. Under cross-ex-
animation, technically to determine
his credibility and motives, he could
have been subjected to broad ques-
tioning on his political and personal
activities.
Mr.. Battle said: During the trial,
stipulations were received in evi-
dence between his counsel and the
United State attorney which cover
some Of the facts essential to the
defense. Upon the examination and
cross-examination of the witnesses
for the prosecution, many more of
these facts were elected.
In view of these circumstances,
counsel for Mr.. Browder have de-
termined that the factual basis for
the defense has been adequately
laid"

Of 28 water colors of Finnish land
scapes to the national headquarters
Of the Finnish Relief Fund. At a re-
cent auction IA of Mr.. Silbert's
paintings brought in $3,0l5 for the

Mr.. Silbert went to Finland to
study white. His observations pro-
vide an explanation Of the way the
Finnish ski troops clad In white are
unseen by the enemy.
"A man dressed in white would
be hard to see even IL feet away"
he said. "A certain atmospheric
quality envelops everything in a
powdery white. Even trunks and
under-branches of trees don't look
as black as they should. Instead,
that strange powderiness turns them
pale gray. Finland's winter land
scape is unlike any other I have
seen before. Sometimes you can't
even tell trees from sky"
