Y: Youths SACRAMENTO, Cal—Despite be- ing 3,000 miles from New York, 125 boys deserted yesterday from the forced labor Bear River Camp near Sacramento. Leaders of the group stated that they were forced by New York police to join the reforestation army under threats of arrest. Army camp officials have sent a truck out to round up the boys and probably arrest them. There were 240 in the camp and the desertion of more than half the number testifies to the rotten food and miserable con- ditions at the camp. 1,000 Home Owners March in Albany Politicians Betray Movement ALBANY, N. Y., Aug. 1—One thousand home owners marched to the legislature, which is now meeting in special session, to request some protection for their homes. The legislature met in the morning and immediately adjourned for the day, when they found that the home own- ers came to present their grievances. Tonight a meeting was held by the home owners in the State Educa- tional Building, to which Governor Lehman was invited to speak. The governor failed to come to the meet- ing. The march to Albany was organ- ized by the Consolidated Homie Own- ers’ Morigage Committee. It is un- der the influence of some unscrupu- lous politicians, who are using the misery of the small home owners for their own advancement. In Long Island, Fioreilo H. LaGuardia, repub- lican politician, has been particularly active as part of a campaign to grab the nomination for mayor. That these politicians offer no aid to the small home owners is seen by their program, which proposes to carry out foreclosures on home and farm owners. But they give it a legal cloak, asking that 20 days be ranted following the hearing of the owner or occupant before the prop- erty is foreclosed. In this way they want the same foreclosure, but it is only to take 20 more days before the home or farm is taken away. The Unemployed Councils have put forth a program which calls for a moratorium on all foreclosures. It has already received endorsements from small home owners’ organiza- tions in Staten Island, Long Island and in Schenectady County. The Council will make every effort to gain the support of the small home own- ers in the Consolidated Home Own- ers’ organizations to join with them, when a mass committee will present demands before Governor Lehman) and the state legisiature in about a week, Unemployed Force Delay of Sheriff Sale on Pennsylvania Farm NEW KENSINGTON, Pa.— Low pone the sale of Love's farm on Texas road near Renton.

The central theme of the speeches | was the fight against the Industrial Recovery Act, the main form of the Roosevelt government’s attack on and for the suppression of the work- | ers in preparation for war. | Headed by the Red Front Band jand the Workers Ex-Servicemen’s | League, the Battery Park contingent | was the first to reach the square, at about 4:40 pm. They had gathered at 1 p.m, in front of the Cuban Con- sulate, and after sending one dele- gation to the consul and one, head- ed by Robert Minor, to present de- mands to Mayor O’Brien, they had marched all the way from the Bat- tery to Union Square. Women and Children March They were soon followed into the Square by a youth contingent of a | thousand who had marched down from Columbus ‘Circle. The National | Student League, the Young Com- | munist League, the I. W. O. youth | branches and many others had met | there and exposed the Civilian Con- servation Camps, and the R. 0. T.

Seven to eight hundred children, most of them wearing the Pioneer uniform, and more than a thousand | women of the Women’s Councils were in the line. The last to reach the square were 3,000, chiefly trade union workers, led by the T. U. U. L. organizations, who had gathered in Madison Square |to hear Max Bedacht and other speakers in a preliminary rally. | As the marching lines converged |into the Square, thousands of other | workers from shops and offices joined the massed demonstrators.

In addi- tion there is some~excellent photog- raphy of the Arctic sea and ice, and a splendid score insviredly played by the Leningrad Philharmonic. Aside from this, the film suffers badly from a lack of sustained con- tinuity. With a little care it would have been simple to have made a powerful dramatic film or even a powerful document around the expedition to the Arctic. Instead the director decided to roll three stories into one, with the result that there is no justice done to any of them. “Conquerors of the Night” revolves around the icebreaker ‘“Malygin,” carrying tourists from four countries dies that have. occurred in’ recent history, in the attempt to explorg this tréacherous part of the earth. One of the episodes presented tells the | tragedy of an expedition led by an American in 1884. Another tells! of the misfortunes of the crew of an English merchant vessel searching for sables in the Arctic. But what mars the picture more than anything élse aré the scenes invclving the “tourists” who go round the beat with bored and uninspiring Jooks, as though in a daze, and the less said about them the better. To this reviewer, “Conquerors of the North” would have been a much better film, in fact a gteat film, if it had concentrated its action more on the historical episodes, or more on the purpose of the present expédi- tion to the Arctic."

Counsel, Appoints Three Local Attorneys for Mock “Defense” y aby TUSCALOOSA, Ala., Aug. .—National Guardsmen were called today to attend the trial of three Negro workers here on framed charges of attack and murder, as Judge Henry B. Foster refused to recognize Irving Schwab and F. B, Irwin, I. L. D. attorneys representing the three boys, and appoint- ed three local attorneys to “defend” the thtee. The attorneys appointed by Foster ® in an effort to keep the’ I. L. D. out of the case, are John D. McQueen, former president pf the Alabama Bar Association, Reuben Wright, and | Freeman Rice. be- ob- the Two other Negro workers are ing held, one on a charge of structing and interfering with investigation of the case, and an- other on charges which have not been divulged by Sheriff R. L. Shamblin. The Negroes were arrested when Vaudine» Mad4ox, white girl, was found dead in a ravine. Although all evidence pointed to the murder of the | sirl by.a friend, or at least a close ac- quaintance, Pippen, Jr., was arrested and charged with the murder, after \being pointed out by a white man who owed the boy some money. Pip- pen, Sr, was arrested when he told the officers that his son had not been out of his sight that morning. Clarke and Harden were arrested, evidently, -because they were friends of young Pippen. Jimison was arrest- ed when he came before the grand jury tosestify that Pippen had been at work in his field the day the crime was committed. ‘The lawyers for the International Labor Defense were not permitted by Sheriff R. L. Shamblin to sce their clients. The day after it was definitely learned that the I. L. D. had been retained in the case, the defendants were rushed to arraign- ment, represented only by the law- yers appointed by the court. The leading white ministers of Tuscaloosa, Dr. Branche and Dr. Boone, and Dr. Denny, head of the University of Alabama, drew up a petition stating that the signers had full confidence in the justice of the courts of Tuscaloosa and in Judge Henry B. Foster, and that they did not want any “outside interference.” This petition was given to the Rev. Roland Smith, Negro minister. and he was told to get all the Negro ministers in town to sign it. A few signed. ? Many Back I. L. D. A meeting was later held of Negro |and white ministers, members of the \ ee t Interracial Commission and man} other persons. The heads of the In- terracial Commission and the white ministers urged the meeting to adopt a resolution opposing the entrance of the I. L. D. into the cage, and expressing their desire to have the defendants represented by the cou- sel apnointed by the court. The small Negro tradesmen and Negro profes- sional men and workers present, re- fused to subport the petition. The less prominent Negro ministers, who are for the most part workers and small farmers themselves, also re- fused to take a stand against the I. L. D. When asked if the Negroes had confidence ‘in Judge Foster, Deacon E. S. Smith stated that no Negro in Tuscaloosa has any con- fidence in Jtdge Foster, and that “the Negroes fear Foster as the rul- ing whites fear Communism.” A Citizen’s Committee for the De- fense of the Tuscaloosa cases has been formed here, and is collecting funds for the frame-up victims. Harlem Workers Fight Job Discrimination at the Salem Church NEW YORK.—Indignant workers of Harlem came to the office of the Harlem Liberator to voice their pro- test against the Salem Church, which is employing white painters. In the face of the fact that 75 per cent of the people in Harlem are unemployed, this church, supported by Negro workers discriminated against Ne- gro workers when spending money. ‘When approached by a young work- er on this question, the spokesman for the church answered that the job had been contracted for by a Negro contractor, who hired one Negro whose work was unsatisfactory, and was therefore compelled to employ a white painter to replace him. A delegation will be sent to inter- view the pastor, to demand an ex- planation and denounce this practice of jim-crowism in Harlem, particu- larly in an institution such as the Salem Church, supported by the pen- nies of Negro workers.
