Many of New York's leading car
toonistS are volunteering their
services to USO-CAAIP SHOWS and

"ThiS is the first venture in the
artist entertainment line for Camp
Shows" according to DR.. GloSter.
He states, however, that from
popularity ratings of programs in
our own USO club, we know par-
trait sketching by volunteer artists
has long been favorite. For seven
months, Sgt. Andrew Lewis has
been donating his time, effort and
materials to make such USO club
program possible at Fry"
Among noted cartoonists starting
off the Camp Shows series are:
Soglow C"The Little King'0 and
Gus Edison C"The Gumps'D. Fun

highlights of their entertainment. A
comedy team of IT'S Webster Trapp
and Cpl. Eddie Alston floored the
crowd with their nonsensical antics.
To comply with many requests S/Sgt.
Harper gave out with his ''Jodie,

At the close of the program the
crowd surrounded the bandstand and
didn't want the boys to stop. The
band then rocked on the "One O'Clock
Jump" and called it an evening. The
applause of the enthused audience
was evidence enough to convince
everyone that the 29th had done it
again.
Everyone will be eagerly watching
for their new series to open soon,
which we're sure will be as entertain

sion. tyranny and intolerance.
This can only mean an end to
Imperialism. an end to the SUBJ
lection Of one people by another.
The CLIO has always opposed i'm
perialism and tyranny. It protest
ed the throttling of the Spanish
republic by the Fascists. and it
sympathizes with the demands Of
colonial peoples for their freedom.
Only short time ago the Western
Maryland Industrial Union Coun-
Gil urged that Puerto Rico be
granted the right of self-determi-
nation.
The Teheran decisions also call
for an end Of intolerance. The
CLIO Is founded on the principles
of no discrimination. 1t admits all
to membership. regardless Of race,
creed or color. We welcome ac-
ceptance of this principle as a
guide-post also In international re-

peace at Teheran.

New York Central Iron Works, this
city, means that the workers Of
that shop, where the ALL admits It
has not collected any dues or held
any meetings since December Of

Ing on whether they want the CLIO
to represent them.
The board decided that since
the local had not been suspended
by the ALL and "still retains lts
charter" there Is no evidence that
the local has ceased to exist. This
conclusion was arrived ut despite
the fact that In January of this
year, the bulk Of the money In the
locals treasury was used to throw
