CITIZEN TOM PAINE
By HOWARD FAST
REVIEWED by LEO HUBERMAN

friend"
The revolution won in America, it
was natural that Tom Paine would go
come. And it was natural too, that
he would carry on his revolutionary
activities there. 1.-THE world is my
village" he said, where freedom is
not, there is my country"
His writings inflamed the common
people. Every miner, dockworker,
mill hand in England read his Rights
of Man" just as several years before
every farmer, mechanic, tradesman in
America had read Common Sense"
But in England the situation was
different. The authorities were closer
to the discontinued common folk who
under Paine's leadership, were begin
ming to band together to overthrow
privilege. Before the thin threads of
revolution could be drawn together,
the government acted. Paine had to
flee to France. He got away just in
time.
In France he continued his fight for
the Rights of Man. Honored as
great revolutionist, he became a mem
Der of the French Convention. Then,
when the Terror came, Paine was
thrown into Luxembourg prison where
for ten long months he lived in the
shadow of the guillotine Released at
long last after the intervention of the
American minister, James Monroe, he
returned a sick old man to the home
in New Rochelle which the American
Congress had given him in recognition
for his service in the American Rev
olution.
Men who spend their lives in fight
ing the ruling classes are always re-
viled and slandered and abused. Tom
Paine was. He earned their undying
hatred - and a place in history for
himself as one who was a leader in
the march of the dispossessed toward
a decent life.

area from Algeria and French Moroc-
co. The Office of Foreign Relief and
Rehabilitation Operations, however,
had conducted only relatively few
minor operations in Algeria and
French Morocco, chiefly the provision,
with the cooperation of the American
Red Cross, of milk rations to lat
thousand children daily between the
age of IS months and ID years in
those two areas. With the closing of
the school year, this milk program
was scheduled to be virtually discon-
tinued on May 31st. Grants Of milk
will be continued, however, through
hospitals and clinics to children in
urgent need of such supplemental ra-
ton whose parents or guardians are
unable to make other provisions for
them. The OFRRO field mission is
continuing its work in behalf of the
inmates of refugee camps, and is set
ting up camps to house sick and dis
abled refugees where they will have
complete freedom under the care of
physician, provisions and other assist
ance. The rapid release of refugees
from internment camps during the
last sixty days is gradually reducing
the need for the OFRRO program of
for the essential needs of
able-bodied refugees. During the last
six weeks, however, OFRRO field rep
visited camps in Algeria
and French Morocco, distributing food
and clothing to supplement the sup
ply of the residents and rendering es-
sential assistance to place refugees in |
jobs as they were released. The |
OFRRO has been assisted in its work |
with refugees by the American
Friends Service Committee which had |

USE TAX
STAMPS NOW
ON SALE

COllectOr OF internal revenue Levi
Penwell announced that auto use Ia
stamps in the denomination of $50
were placed on sale in all postoffice
of Collectors of Internal Revenue OF
Thursday, June 10. The stamps will
evidence payment of the tax for tn,
fiscal year beginning July 1, 1913
serially numbered, will be gummeC
on the face, and will have provision
on the back for entry of the make
model, serial number and state license
number of the vehicle.
Mr. Penwell said that, to guard
against loss or theft, it has been sug
gested that, when affixing the stamps
the vehicle owner should dampen the
windshield rather than the adhesive
side of the stamp. This method has
been recommended to keep the stamp
intact upon the windshield. AS an
additional precaution, it has also
been suggested that each motor We
hicle owner should make a record of
the serial number which appears on
the use tax stamp in the event the
stamp should become lost.
Every owner of motor vehicle
which is used upon the highways
should call at his local postoffice or
at the office of the Internal Revenue
Collector and secure a $500 use tax
stamp and affix it to his vehicle on
or before July 1, 1913, the Collector
said. The various postoffices will sell
the stamps over the counter for cash
only and no mail order business with
respect thereto will be conducted by
the postoffices. Collectors of Inter-
nal Revenue are authorized to accept
cash, postoffice money orders, and
certified checks in payment of the
use tax stamp However, as revenue
stamps have an intrinsic value, I'M
certified checks will not be acceptable
in payment therefor.
1t is the desire of the Bureau of
Internal Revenue that the use tax
stamp shall be placed on the wind
shield in location that will not be

NEW PIPELINE APPROVED

A 3S3-mile, 16-inch pipeline from
Shutdown, Texas to Drumright, Okla.
homa, having an initial capacity of
$4,000 barrels of crude oil daily, has
been approved by the War Production
Board upon the recommendation of
the Petroleum Administrator for War.
Construction is expected to begin
early in October, 1913, and should be
in operation sometime in March 1914,
the Administrator added, providing
that materials and workmen are avail
able on schedule. The pipeline will
serve to provide middle western re-
fineries with additional supplies of
west Texas crude oil, thus helping to
relieve the national oil shortage.

"Citizen Tom Paine" is an import
ant book about an important man whit
lived in an important period of work
history.
To capture the flavor and spirit o.
a past era is not an easy task How
ard Fast is master at the art. He
lre-creates the period so wildly thai
reading has 341 page novel is almost
as exciting as living at the time
would have been And his portrait
of Tom Paine is such timely one
and so clearly painted, that when you
have finished the book you know
Citizen Paine as intimately as you
know your Oldest friend.
| The ruling classes never like Tom
Paine. In England they fixed copper
coins with Paine's likeness on them
on the soles of their shoes so they
could stamp on him at every step.
And in America, a letter to wealthy
Robert Morris who cornered the flour
market during the Revolution, ex-
pressed the attitude of most of them:
1T would be good thing for the well
fare of the gentle folk of the country
if Mister Thomas Paine were dead
!"
On several occasions bullets missed
him by inches. The ruling classes
didn't like Tom Paine He was a rev
olutionist.
Nevertheless, the richest man in the
colonies once said to him, II am glad
to call you my friend, Paine, and |
would be proud if you'd take my hand,
not as the writer of Common Sense,
but as one man to another"
George Washington said that be-
cause he was himself an active revo-
lutionist who had an intimate knowl-
edge of the important part played by
Tom Paine in bolstering the morale
of his ragged army He had seen
Paine during the times that try
mems souls" freezing and starving
with the defeated, fleeing American
army "At night, they made their
fires when they could not march a
step more, and it was Paine to do
the cooking for a hundred men, Paine
to calm boys fear, Paine to read a
man letter from his wife and write |
one in return, Paine to sit with his |
strong hands clasped about his bent |
knees and slowly, simply explain what |
they were suffering for, the politics of
an empire and world, the struggles
Of mankind from the Romans till now,
the new day of small men, not only |
in America but the world over"
When the five long years of fighting
were over Washington said to Paine,
My dear Paine, no one of us will
ever forget your value. On two
fronts, the home front and the fight.

cause together tell you that with

IN SUPREm
COURT FOR week
DECISIONS:

June 8th-James Griffin v. Opinion
Publishing Co. Appealed from Blain
county, Chinook. Unanimous opinion
of the court by Justice Hugh R. Adair
Facts: The Chinook Opinion, {
newspaper, published an article IL
which it referred to claim James
Griffin presented to the city council
as being one Of dubious legality" an6
further spoke of how to make friends
sued the newspaper for damages for
libelous publication.
Held: The supreme court held that
the language used in the article was
not libelous per Sc and that the evil
dence failed to show it to be false,
unprivileged or defamatory, and hence
the judgment was ordered for the
defendant newspaper.
June 11th-May B. Thompson and
Mrs. c. B. caskey v. Lincoln National
Life Ins. Co. Appealed from Teton
county, Choteau. Opinion of the ma
jority prepared by Chief Justice How
ard A. Johnson. Justices Adair and
Erickson dissented.
Facts: In 1926 S. E. Brokaw and
Northern States Life ms. Co. entered
for the purchase and sale of land in
Chouteau county for $4,000, subject to
termination by the insurance company
for non-payment of installments.
The Northern States Life ms. Co.
became insolvent, and the defendant,
Lincoln Natl. Life ms. Co., succeeded
to the land and the insolvent vendors
rights under the contract, but without
assuming the vendors contractual OBJ
legation. Plaintiffs are the admins
tratrices of Brokaw's Estate. In Feb
ruary 1884, when the contract had
been in default for five years, the de-
PENDANT gave plaintiffs a notice as
required by the contract, stating that |
it would be cancelled unless the bal |
ance of $1,000 principal and $245 in
terest was paid within 80 days. Fiji |
teen hundred dollars had been paid |
on principal and $904.3S as interest
and taxes during the eight years the
was used by Brokaw and the
plaintiffs.
In June, 1884, defendant notified
the plaintiffs that arrangements had
been made to sell the land to Jacob
Luinstra The Brokaw contract was
recorded in 1881, plaintiffs had pos
session of the land when Luinstra pur-
chased it, and the pleadings show that
the sale to him was only of defend
ants interest, and subject to the
rights of those in possession. In Sep
,ember, 1884, plaintiffs informed de-
'endant that they were ready to pay
send deed.
Later plaintiffs sued to recover
damages in the amount paid defend
lnt's insolvent predecessor as princi- l
,al, interest and taxes, claiming that |
~ subsequent correspondence defend
mt had waived the notice of termina- :
ion, and that their offer to pay was :
equivalent to tender of payment.
Held: That as neither defendant
Tor Luinstra had assumed the ven !,
or's contractual liability but were :
hown to have succeeded to the prop
rty subject to plaintiffs right, if
ny, their only obligation was to hold Z
he property subject to those rights a
nd, when conveying. it to others, to
ee that the purchaser received it sub
ect to those rights.
That therefore plaintiffs had no
ipht of action against defendant the
and record showing that no
ct of defendant had caused plaintiffs

Gas RATE HEARINGS
To Resume Friday

Hearings on the consumer rates
and the basic rate of return of the
Washington Gas Light Co. for the
ensuing year we're adjourned yes
terday by the Public Utilities Com.
mission until 10 am. Friday.
Although the fundamentals of the
issues were believed by many to
have been covered, there were ex-
pressed desires for further exam
ination of several witnesses, includ-
ing Stuart F. Rosters, a valuation
engineer of the engineering consult
ant firm of Stone S5 Webster.
w. G. Gilman, a financial con-
sultant, recalled to the stand yes
terday, repeated his earlier declara-
tions that the gas company should
be permitted to earn 6.75 per cent
on it's valuation and that the cost
of refinancing the capital structure
of the company would amount to
such figure.
His testimony and that given yes
terday by Mr.. Rosters were in sup
port of the company's position that
the basic rate of return should not
be reduced below the present 6.5
per cent.

housing units. A recent survey by
the Bureau of Labor Statistics
showed that approximately 1000
war worker families eligible to
occupy war housing are dissatisfied
with their present living quarters.
A total of 10000 white war worker
families and 3,340 Negro families
must be housed here during this
year. Mr.. Fischer estimated.
AS evidence that the demand for
housing has not slackened appre-
ciably, Mr.. Fischer pointed out that
from July 20 to August 20, 5,409
applications for living accommoda-
tions were received at the War
Housing Center-3,019 of them from
'in- migrant" war workers.
Occupancy of the vacant public
and private housing units is open
to essential war workers who have
moved into the Washington area
since July /, 1941, who have brought
their families here since that date
and are now housed under condi-
tions seriously impairing their eff
cheney, who are committing un-
reasonable distances to work, or
who have been forced to move from
their present quarters.
Essential war workers, Mr.. Fischer
said, are employees of Government
war agencies, civilian workers at
military and naval establishments,
military and Navy personnel and
employees of a restricted list of
essential" private businesses.
Coincident with the MIA an
nouncement came an explanation
of why the Garry Homes, 315 re-
Gently constructed housing units on
the Suitland road near the District
line, are standing vacant John
Ihlder. executive officer of the Ma
