All Star Air Circus
Draws Huge Crowd

Amazing Stunts-Miss Strevig
Christens All American Air
ways Plane Getty of Hagers-
town"
The All Star Air Circus held at
the Airport on Sunday afternoon
and sponsored by the Junior Cham
Der of Commerce, was a real sue
cess in every sense of the word, with
over 10000 turning out for the great
occasion.
The program started out with the
christening of one of the All Amer
lean Anyways planes as the City of
Hagerstown," and to Miss Jane Sire
Wig, Miss Hagerstown of 1949, fell
the honor of christening the ship.
The christening, by the way, was
quite unique. Instead of the usual
bottle of champagne, brightly dec
GRATED fire eXtinguisher was used,
the extinguisher being filled with
special chemical, and when Miss
Strevig sprayed the side of the ship
with the chemical, the words, "City
of Hagerstown," appeared as if by
magic What happened, of course,
was that the name, City of Hagers-
town, had been painted on the side
of the ship, and then it was painted
over with special preparation,
which the spray from the fire ex-
tinguisher removed.
The air show was packed with a
thrill a minute, and the acrobatics
by the Thrasher Brothers at times
reached the almost impossible. While
the pickup of one of the brothers
from an automobile was real
thrill, as was the landing and the
taking off of plane from the top
of the same automobile, the feature
of the afternoon as far, as this re-
porter was concerned, was the re-
markable low flying acrobatic per-
Torrance in the so-called "radio"
control stunt, During this stunt the
acting of the announcer, as we'll as
one of the Thrasher boys who was
in the plane, was well night perfect,
and an added thrill came when the
plane was forced down and had to
get started again.
The Jaycees have put on a lot of
good programs in their time, but
this, without doubt, capped them all,
and it was one that will long be re-
by the tremendous crowd
that witnessed it.

Red Admits at Trial
Daily Worker Cou|dn'
Exist Without Party
By the Associoted Press

NEW YORK. July THE re-
lation of the newspaper, the Daily
Worker, to the Communist Party
got top attention at the Com
munist conspiracy trial yesterday
Government prosecutors drew
from a defendant. Gilbert Green,
an admission that the paper
could not exist without the
party. However. Green denied the
paper is the party's official organ.
Green, the party's Illinois chair
man, also testified that he may
have" once proposed civil war as
a means of aiding Russia against
any enemy.
Asked if he had once said in q
debate with a Socialist youth
leader that I'VE will defend the
Soviet Union" against attackers
"by turning the imperialist wal
into a civil war" Green said:
II may have said that-it was
in 1896"
Funniest Reasoning.
Green is one of II top Rec
leaders on trial on charges of con,
spring since 1945 to advocate the
forcible overthrow of the Gov
ernment.
In an innuendo-packed court
room exchange on the status of
the Daily Worker. published in
New York City. Green conceded
the papers masthead once carried
the designation of central organ
of the party.
But it was not owned by the
party, so it could not have been
the central organ" he added.
Commented Federal Judge
Harold r. Medina:
You have the funniest way of
reasoning things out that I have
ever heard
United States Attorney John F
x. McGohey asked Green who
owned the paper.
Names Papers Head.
"I believe the Freedom Of the
Press, Inc" Green answered.
@. Who is its PRESIDENT"
A. Mr.. Davis.
@. Benjamin J. Davis. one OF
the defendants and member OF
| The Communist Party'S National
Board?"
A. Yes, and a city councilman. y
@. "Who is its editor?"
A. "Mr. Gates
@. John Gates, one Of the de-
PENDANTS and a member of the
party's National Board?'
A. Yes"
@. isn't it a fact that all staff
members of the Worker are
members of the Communist
Party?"
A. Il don't know"
Editorial Offices.
@. "Where is the editorial office
of the Worker?'
A. "35 East Twelfth street. on
the eighth floor"
@. Where is national headquar-
ters of the party?"
A. "35 East Twelfth street, on
the ninth floor.
@. Where is State headquar-
ters of the party9"
A. "35 East Twelfth street, on
the fifth floor"
Green said the Communist
Party does officially support the
Daily Worker which is the only
daily newspaper which conveys the
Communist point of view.
Without the backing OF the
party the Daily Worker could not
exist"
He said official statements of the
party were carried in the Worker
because other newspapers will
not print the statements in full. .
