SOKOLSKY SENTIMENTAL BANQUET [ By Georgi Gramada, Special Krass \ Correspendent Banquets are made for dolla They sell tickets from $5 up to $100 a plate, but nobody worries B about the plate as the waiters take j it away. Ite is a capitlistic cor i radiction. The dollars go to pay Jfor the dinner which is usually the same and without taste, cooked wholesale. Sometimes the dollars pay for the speakers. All banquets must have speakers; it is an old custom. A speaker at a banquet starts | with what in this country is called a gag. This is a most peculiar con- tradiction because a gag also is something put in the mouth to stop a person from speaking. So. the gag is to speak and not to speak. Can you imagine that? When the gag is spoken, every- body is supposed to laugh. So, you don't laugh, the speaker is d [} appointed. Also disappointed is the committee which hired him.

You should ask! Sometimes a gag is so old that it appeared amon»;\ jthe Hittites who were an aboriginal | ccivilization in Soviet Armenia, [ But the illiterate bourgeoisie, ! dressed in minks and diamonds | d who have wrung from the swcat of the toiling masses the dol- | s to buy the tickets for the ban- | | quet, never read Hittite mythology, | they do not know that the gag| rated in Soviet Armenia.

T went to a banquet of the ring exploiters of the pro- the Waldorf-Astoria. This | had two causes; one was| give honor to a journalist, mdioE k r, Harry Hershfield. The! was to get dollars for hospital called the Mc- Cosker-Hershfield Cardiac Home. They have many enterprises like | this in this country. It is causedl by the Judiac-Christian mysticism | that the Hebrew God blesses those who give charity. In the glorious | land of the proletarian dictatorship, I nobody gives charity, which is out- | I moded, like Christianity, capitalism and other pre-Marxian errors. By | |us, the wise Politburo sees to it| that if a citizen is not a Kulak or |a Trotzkyist or a Titoist or a Ispy for the Marshall Plan West- | Imperialists, he gets what he should | |get as the people’s hero, J. Stalin, | decides is good for him. I Here it is different. So McCosker, {and Irishman, and Hershfield, ni | Jew, formed a partnership in char- | {ity to provide a home for cardiac | sick people to rest. Their friends leach year give them dollars for| | this, too. The superstition of char- | 1iby is so strong with these people, | that they don't mind giving dol-‘ (lars for charity—also they can take‘ {it off their income tax. But they al- | |so like a charity to have a banquet | ! where they can hear speeches. Then | | they give more money. " | At a banquet, a separation is| | made between those who pay dol- 'lars to get in and those who get| in free. The latter category, they call Honored Guests and they put | | them on a place called a dais where ithey are stuck for the evening. REDUCED WINTER FARES AN NORTHBOUND S.S. Denali Sitka S.S.

Hershfield’s family came to Am- | erica from the Soviet Union may- be 80 or 90 years ago. They were proletarians of unskilled categories lords squeeze the lives out of the | working class. So Harry Hershfield |is not satistied with his class. He |becomes a bourgeois. He makes himself a famous journalist. Not |being class conscious, he devotes himself to charity. Here that gives| him a big name and also a banquet. And at the banquet, nobody speaks lof Marxism-Leninism-Stalinism,| | Fascism, Trumanism—anything im- portant. They only say that every- body loves Harry Hershfield and | Harry Hershfield loves anybody. Can you imagine such an evening? Nof Entering Polifics, Says Eisenhower FORT WORTH, Tex., Dec. 17—(® —General Dwight D. Eisenhower | says there is a growing concern| among the people—a bewilderment, cometimes a resentment— because the high hopes held during the war nave not been realized. “In foreign relations we have seen an ideology, an announced foe | of our form of government, engulf all of eastern Eurcpe,” he said last night, “and threaten western Eur- ope and reach into Asia—until at| | Eisenhower, who says he will not | let any sort of talk by others make him a Presidential candidate, spoke at the annual dinner of the Fort Worth Chamber of Commerce. He told an audience of 5000: “I pelieve we should not forget that what the founding fathers of America strove for was the diffu- sion and decentralization of power —strove to keep power out of the hands of the-central government to the detriment of the individuals.” Earlier yesterday at a press con- ference he said again that he does not intend to enter the field of Ppolitics.
