The report by the director of the drive shall be on the order of business of every meeting of the district committees, city and section committees, etc. The Organization Department has outlined the following methods: The drive shall utilize and em- phasize special appeals to: (a) Negro workers. (b) Women workers. (c) An especially worked out ap- peal to attract native American ele- ments to the Party. (d) Efforts to secure young work- ers to join the Young Workers League under the general slogan: “A League Unit Wherever There is a Party Unit.” (e) The building up of the children’s movement — The Young Pioneers. Every member shall at all times carry with him application cards. Every member should at all times carry with him one or more copies of the Ruthenberg pamphlet, ‘‘The Party, What It Stands For, and Why Workers Should Join.” Recruiting must not be approached | in an abstract manner. As a rule| when a comrade tries to recruit new members he thinks of the whole working class—at least, of his entire union or shop, with the result that he embraces the whole working class and succeeds in getting none into the Party. Comrades must learn to ap- proach this question in a concrete manner. Namely, the comrades in the factories, unions, fraternal organiza- tions must make a list of the various sympathizers to be approached for membership. Some are not yet ready for mem- bership and should be approached only with literature and for subscrip- tions to The DAILY WORKER. Those that are ready for membership should be divided up among the comrades in| such a manner that those that have e | tute, jand J. Kosen, Italia the best possible contacts with cer- tain sympathizers shall be assigned | to go after those sympathizers. Sym-! pathizers and those who are ready | to join the Party can be found out| thru the selling of our literature,| pamphlets, discussions in the fac-| tories on current questions of interest to the workers, ete. Every Party member is to concentrate on one or more individuals, learning all about the personal life, his prejudices, his illusions, so that he can overcome these prejudices and illusions and know what prevents the said worker from joining the Party and try to overcome it. have been arranged shout the United States: Some hundred great mass meetings, of which are as follows (with mames given): iihictons Din She a8.

The story tells of Wyn Hayward (Richard Bird) age 24, who when visiting Lake Como in Italy meets Rayetta Muir (Cathleen Nesbit, a well known English actress. As a diversion from the usual run of men that she associates with, the ac- tress allows the youth to make love to her. While the woman took the entire affair lightly, the boy considers it in a serious vein. When they return to unromantic London the boy continues to pay at-| tention to the actress, boreing her to} an extreme. Night after night he} visits her home until she cannot stand the situation any longer. When she ignores his advances and laughs in his face he chokes her to death. Half crazy, the boy goes to his dad, a noted surgeon, and confesses his crime. The two of them discuss at great length, in an attempt to find a solution for the problem. Flight from England is at fitst considered and then discarded. Being members of an aristocratic family, the “family name” is of major im- portance. The solution finally agreed upon is that the boy should give himself up Before going to the Early. Buffalo, Jan. 21, 8 p. m., Workers | Hall, Williams Bldg., 8-20 E. Eagle Street, B. D.

In addition to the remarkable per- formance of Mr. Bird who gives life and color to his part, special mention | must be made of Cathleen Nesbitt who portrays the woman.

BUREAU Many Recognized as Needy Get No Care Claims of no less than 500,000 dis- abled war veterans for hospital treat- ment have not been recognized by the government and 275,000 veterans whose claims are recognized have had no medical care whatever,” the Dis- abled Veterans of the World War say in a public appeal for $2,000,000. This organization wants to raise the money to help veterans to obtain admission to the government hospi- tals, which the war victim is unable to do unless he spends a large sum of money on gathering affidavits and obtaining doctors’ certificates and his service record in Washington, thru organizations who make this a profes- sion. General Hines, director of the Veterans’ Bureau, is quoted in this ap- peal as stating that the peak of men- tal and nervous disorders due to war injuries will not be reached till 1947. Vare and Smith Cases Before Senate Today WASHINGTON, Jan. 16.—The sen- ate slush fund committee, headed by |Senator Reed (Dem., Mo.), will ask* the senate today to declare vacant the ‘seat of Frank L. Smith, Illinois mil- lionaire, whose credentials the senate has thus far refused to accept. A $500,000 campaign slush fund, of which $125,000 came from Samuel In- sull, power magnate, caused the sen- ate’s action. Smith has refused to surrender the seat he and his friends bought. The case of William S. Vare, Pennsylvania republican, whose cre- dentials were refused by the senate on the same grounds, will also be con- sidered today, when William B. Wil- son, his democratic opponent, will file a petition contesting Vare’s seat.
