elections this year: - Is the candidate a VICTORY
candidate?
Does he tavor a second front against Hitler NOW,
for VICTORY in 1912? Does he tauor the necessary military
alliance to accomplish this, a full military and economic
alliance betooeen the USA, USSR, Britain, and China? Does
he stand strong against the appeasers and pro-tascists
the Coughlins, Hearsts, and Lindberghs?
This is the only issue. Labor does not care
what party label the candidate wears, but only that he
should represent the overwhelming desire of the whole
people for an offensive war policy and decisive victory
over Hitler and his satellites. Only that he should
support the Roosevelt administration in the about
conduct of the war.
In this election, Labor uul not and cannot raise any
narroaD demand for the election of purely labor" candidates.
On the contrary, this is a PEOPLES struggle, and it takes
UNITY OF THE PEOPLE to a1n it. The Go ,riI not fight
apith the ALL about candidates; Labor aptt not fight with
the farmers. Neither aoIl divide itself off as a separate
interest from the people as a a1hole, including the patriotic
employers.
Labor must take a lead in showing the
people that the reactionaries like Smith and Pegler
and Richberg in the Saturday Evening Post, who cen
ter their attack on the Unions, are really working to
disrupt and defeat the United States i'm the war! Their
candidates must be defeated in the elections!
Labor must uarn the people how the appeasers, the
Iame-duck America Firsters, etc. are planning an appease-
ment congress, dedicated to a negotiated peace auith Hitler,
4ohich Mould mean craven capitalization.
And Labor must be aauare and uarn the people that
this cannot be the usual kind of election, along the old
partisan lines. 1t must not be a "quiet" election. 1t must be
a militant, act;ve, laundering election, ~mobilizing the
peoples forces as never before to achieve a second front,
a United Nations alliance, about production, and the
suppression of the fifth column.
Let us start discussing this election campaign in the
locals, particularly Nth reference to the primaries in
August. Let as propose joint action Nth the AL. Let u.s.
check the record and proposals of HoIbrock and other pro-
the Negro people.
Labor has neOer had a greater chance to play a de-
cisive role in a national election if it 4oiI rise to the
occasion of uniting itself and all the people behind candidates
tDbo meet the one and only test today:
IS HE A VICTORY CANDIDATE?

Billie Burke Perfect Panic
In THE Vinegar Tree
BY CHARLES GENTRY

she tries to rekindle by inviting
him to her house.
OF course. the artist falls in love
with her beautiful young daughter
much TO the dismay of the foolish
old girl who eventually finds out
that he wasn't her old lover after
all.
The play might easily seem a
little dated were ii not for Miss
Burke's superb performance.
To Laura Merrick she lends
those birdlike chirpings, thos e
nervous manneriSms, the slight
pout and girlish giggle for which
she has become so famous.
The result is that you have to
howl at her even when she isn't
saying something funny. After
watching her for three acts you
feel like you had gone through a
revolving door a little too fast.
However, the scene in the last
act, where she reconciles herself
TO the fact that she, like the
princess in DER Rosenkavalier, /"
is now too old for love, has a very

DELICIOUSLY DAFFY Billie
Burke scored a record number of
laughs last night at the Lafayette
where Paul sborn's hilarious
farce, "T'he Vinegar Tree" opened.
This comedy isn't exactly a new
piece, having served such actresses
as Mary Boland and Violet Kem-
ble-C Cooper humorous stead during
the course of the past IL years,
but never has il appeared funnier
than it was at last nights preSen-
tation.
Vivacious as she is vague, Miss
Burke. makes Laura Merrick a
perfect panic of a character and
her deft timing and fluttery de-
livery of the lines are indeed re-
markable.
There isn't much TO the story.
It's a frothy affair about a beau
tifully confused matron in her late
forties, who is trying TO recapture
a lost romance of her youth, be-
cause she is married to an old
man.
She believes that a certain we'll
known artist is an old flame whom

Third BIatkout

Well Prepared
Minor Violations
Dot County as
Sirens Wall

MaComb county's third black
out test, faced at "a hours notice
showed a few bugs left in the
picture but was written off by
officials as highly successful be-
cause it showed what they were.
Comparatively few violations,
mostly of a minor nature marred
the test and in Mount Clemens
the try-out was high-Spotted by
the dispatch of rescue squads,
auxiliary police and auxiliary
firemen, repair units of various
public utilities and medical
services to the aid Of places and
people where So-called Incl
dents had been arranged to de-
mand their attention"
A summary of violations
noted by Sheriff's off + S
showed that the same sign that
has burned at Gratiot and Tele-

last night. William Hipwell, Of

township, was reported by air
Wardens to have refused OF turn
out his lights until several min
utes of the blackout had elapsed
but a deputy, sent to substan-
tiatc the report was unable to
do it.
SPEEDS IN DARK
One of the unusual and flag
rant violations of the blackout
statute noted in the county was
that allegedly committed by the
driver of a car apparently owned
by Herman PrieseSberger, of 1856
Garfield road, Mount Clemens,
who was stopped by deputies
while driving his car at As
mile clip, deputies said, without
lights, through the blackout at
Cady's corners, intersection of
the Schoenherr and Utica-Fras-
eT roads,.
In Mount Clemens itself
there were a few minor viola
tons and one humorous one
no actual bombs having landed
in town.
The latter occurred when a
driver anxious TO leave his car
and get under cover, parked it
near the Mount Clemens Saw
ings bank, switched off his lights
and locked its doors. Just after
he had disappeared, the door of
the glove compartment fell
down and switched the lights
on again. Air Raid wardenS

SharpRacket:
Cut Wallets.
Pockets Away

Three Detroit colored women,
arrested in South Macomb gas
station yesterday, are en- route
to Niles today where they will be
questioned by state police in con-
nection with a number of unarm-
ed robberies.
Trooper Frank Sepanik arrest
ed the trio in gas station at
II Mile and Van Dyke at the re-
quest of the Niles post. One of
the women carried a bank book
which showed deposits totaling
1885 since last May 7.
EASY RACKET
The women are suspected of
operating in this manner: They
first enter gasoline station
where they order a soft drink.
A customer eventually would
walk in, pay the attendant and
return his wallet to his rear
pocket.
Shortly after the women
would leave the victim would
learn he had lost not only his
wallet but also his pocket. The
pocket, il seems, would be neatly
cut away from the scat of the
pants by sharp knife.
The women are wanted at
Niles. Saginaw, Charlotte and st.
Johns.
