MEXICAN LABOR
UNITES AGAINST
REAcTI0NARlES

MEXICO CITY.-(FP)-Faced with
the imminence of fascist uprising
by the anti-Cardenas followers of two
presidential candidates, Gen. Juan An
dreu Almazan and Gen. Joaquin
Amaro, the Mexican labor federation
(CTM) took a decisive step on March
8 by forming the Natl Committee to
Fight Reaction
Although the initiative was taken by
the CTM, included also were repre-
sentatives of call organizations, what
ever their characteristics or aims,
provided that they support the gen
eral line of the Mexican revolution. q"
A full list was promised by Gen. Sec
Vincente Lombardo Toledano when a
larger convention is held.
The significance of this committee
appears when it is recalled that the
CTM, which now claims a membership
of nearly 100000 organized workers
and close working arrangements with
nearly 100000 more workers and
peasants, itself grew out of a similar
committe hastily formed on the night
of EXPIRES. Plutarco Elias Gales at
tempted comeback in 1885.
The present committee says it has
been formed, not simply as an cleo
toral body (the presidential elections
take place in JULY, but as a fighting
unit to meet the danger of armed re-
bellion.
That this is no idle threat was
proved by documents released by the
attorney generals office. They showed
that Amaro, former war minister I'M
der Gales and brutal guerrilla fighter,
is actively plotting armed rebellion.

Farm Tenancy Increasing
While in the cities, business oppor-
tunities for the little fellow are con-
stantly decreasing, due to chain store
and monopoly growth, parallel de-
velopment is taking place in the coun-
try.
Senator Josh Lee, Oklahoma, in the
senate last week called attention to
the fact that AZ percent of all farms
in the United States today are farmed
by tenants-and that this tendency is
increasing rather than diminishing.
The reason lies in the growth of large
scale power (corporate) farming,
(which is sweeping the family farmer
from the land"
How can business opportunities in
the cities be increased for the aver
age American, and how can the ten
ant farmer become a farm owner?
These are problems which obviously
can be solved only through govern
mental action.

Jennings Randolph Draws Attention 10 North by
 Recent Address
Ry PATRICIA s. JERNBERG Secretary to Delegate Dimond

WASHINGTON, June 1.-tSpec- ial correspondence)-Recognition of the importance of Alaska with re- spect to air transport and natlona! defense is again illustrated by the reference to the subjects made in speech by Honorable Jennings Randolph. of West Virginia, at the opening session of the National Aviation Forum held in Washing ton on May 27. The part of MT. Randolphs speech referring to AL aska is as follows:
 There is one portion of this great country of ours which prom ises a more significant and import ant development of air transporta- ton than will perhaps be witnessed in any other part of our land. refer to Alaska. The vital location of that vast section from the stand point of our national defense IS being slowly realized The develop ment Of aviation has increased the importance Of that Territory incal- clIlably. At some day of doom in the near future it may prove to be the vital key to our national se- curity
 "Is is indispensable that aviation should stride ahead in Alaska even mere rapidly than it advances in the States. Fortunately the great development of the lo30's did not rass by Alaska Tn terms of pas sanger, freight and m ail traffic, aviation there leaped forward. In 1c30 there were only 24 planes op- erating. By the end of the l930's that number had increased more than 700 percent, with a resulting jump in plane miles flown from 338, GOO miles to more than 3.200,000 Passenger miles flown increased from 694 GOO to more than 5,200.000 and a great development in freight traffic, which doubtless will be of vastly increasing significance in the future. is demonstrated by the jump from l03 1000 pounds of freight car ried in 1850 to more than 4.l00000 pounds of freight carried in 1889 Great, too, was the increase in the amount of mail transported. In 1930 just over 17,000 pounds of mail were flown in the Territory. but in 1889 the amount had increased to near ly 550,000 pounds"

ment will remain with us to plague
Us more as the years go on"

ThumbnuiI Can Save
Fortune, but Trick
Is Hard to Learn
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, May 4.-You can, If
you know how It's done. save up to
half a million dollars with your
thumbnail.
But it's job to learn how, accord
ing to W. F. Davidson, who does it.
You do your salvage work on
masterpieces of painting says Mr..
Davidson of the Knoedler Galleries,
one of the institutions of the art
world.
Paintings. especially those in over
heated America. have a tendency to
blister away from their canvas or
wood panel backing. The trick is
to return each tiny bit of loose paint
to its support and keep it there.
Neat Trick Turned.
The record salvage job was done
in the Cos on the Alba Madonna" :"
the picture which sold for the
highest recorded price of any paint
ing in history-$1,080 900. But
Knoedler's just the other day turned
u neat trick for j. P.sMorsan on 4
Reynolds portrait.
This painting, valued at $50, 600,
was sent in from Mr.. Morgan's Glen
Cove estate. First 1t was cleaned
with an emulsion which Roger
O'Connor. head of the restoration
department, will discuss, but not de-
scribe In detail.
Then 1t was carefully gone over.
inch by inch. and each bit of paint
returned to the position it occupied
when Reynolds finished his work.
Then the whole was cleaned and
vanished again.
The same tricks were done recently
for a Rembrandt portrait of the
painters son and worth $4,000.
The procession of ailing canvases
Is endless, Mr.. Davidson says. Usu-
ally they can be saved.
Technic Valuable.
The salvage technic is valuable
because of the number of old paint
ings which turn up every year to be
acclaimed as masterpieces. Thou
sands are offered to Mr.. Davidson
for appraisal, out of which the per-
centage of old masters is about one
half of per cent.
It Is almost impossible to market
spurious masterpiece" he says,
because X-rays tell too much.
The X-ray is, next to accurate
knowledge on the part of the esti-
mator, probably the greatest aid to
the art evaluator. Brushwork and
the condition of the paint and of the
backing are laid bare at once. Some
times things like coats of arms show
through and aid the work.
And sometimes the X-ray turns
up thrill, as in the case Of the Alba
Madonna" There the cracked panel
which makes the line which cuts
perpendicularly down through the
work was laid bare. But also Raph-
ael's cartoon shows, just as he
sketched the picture when he started.
Mr.. Davidson thinks the funniest
thing he's run into was the case of
Benjamin Franklin's eyeglasses.
When the painting in question ar
rived at his office he was amazed,
because Franklin Is invariably
