A move to make the income from these bonds taxable was deieated. This means that the Roosevelt gov- ernment has added another two bil- lion to the national debt, beyond the 31 billion figure set as the maximum by Roosevelt in his budget message. Under the new bill, all private holders of mortgages upon which they cannot collect interest payments, will be enabled to exchange these mortgages for U. S. governemnt bonds, which will be fully guaranteed as to interest and principal. The Treasury reports reveal that during the last week the Govern- ment has handed out a total of $238,000,000 through the R,F.C., P.W.A. and other government bodies, Only one quarter of these funds went to ordinary government expenses. The rest went to banks, railroads, etc. In the Daily Worker Today Page 2 Sports, by Si Gerson. Page 3 ‘National Unemployed Convention News.

BERLIN, Jan. 17—Ludwig Renn, | famous German writer and author of the anti-war books “War” and “After War,” was sentenced by the Nazi Leinzig Supreme Court today to two »|and a half years’ imprisonment for his working-class activities as a member of the German Communist Party. Renn openly admitted in court his membership in the Com- munist Party. During the World War Renn served as an officer at the front, where, as a result of the wholesale slaughter and suffering in the trenches he experi- enced a revulsion against war and came to a realization of its inevita- bility, under capitalism. He later turned to writing, his “War” earning international acclaim for his realistic account of the horrors of imperialist war, He became increasingly revolution- jary and in 1928 joined the German | Communist Party. He was a prom- inent contributor to the Communist paper “Aufbruch,” founded by a group of ten army officers, including one who had repudiated the Nazi Party. Renn’s writing for this pub- lication was the principal charge made against him by the Nazi court, which tried him on a charge of high treason. Churchill Asks Force In Air Increased to Answer U.S. Money War LONDON, Jan. 17—Winston Chur- chill, British Conservative leader, commenting on President Roosevelt's drive for furthening cheapening the doliar in the trade war with the British pound, called for a British air force at least equal to that of the nearest power able to reach Britain by air. British papers commenting on the successful flight of a U. S. naval squadron to Hawaii had previously pointed out that the flight demon- strated that bombing planes could successfully cross the Atlantic. Ss WASHINGTON, Jan. 17,—The St. Lawrence waterway treaty was at- tacked in Congress yesterday as pro- viding “a military avenue through the United States” for Great Britain. Opposition to the project was based on the knowledge that Roosevelt's currency and tariff war policies were naturally leading to an armed con- flict with Britain. BERLIN, Jan. 17.—The Nazi | murder regime will not release the three Bulgarian Commu- nist defendants, .despite their acquittal by the Leipzig Supreme Court of compliicty in the Reich- stag fire. This statement was made today by the Nazi Ministry of the} Interior to Dimitroff's aged mother who called at the Ministry to ask that her son be released, in accord- ance with the verdict of not guitly wrested by the world-wide movement from the Nazi court. | Acquittal does not mean release in jthe “Third Reich,” Mrs. Dimitroff {was brutally informed.

The Hitler regime, the Min-| istry’s spokesman deélared, feared the effect of his eloquence and dialetical| skill if he should get outside the Dim of Nazi Germany. Dimitroff's mother was accom- |panied to the Ministry by Leo Gal- tagher, American lawyer, and Miss Dorothy Woodman, an English- ; Woman, but neither were admitted. |The aged woman, who travelled all) Roosevelt Cuts CWA W. ages Through Shortening Hours ‘the way from Bulgaria, to aid the world-wide fight for the release of \the three Bulgarian Communist lead- ers and the German Communist leader, Ernst Torgler, broke into tears at the end of the interview, and had to be supported by Gal- lagher and Miss Woodman in leaving the building. Four Defendants in Grave Danger The three Bulgarian Communists are still in prison at Leipzig, where they are held incommunicado, even permitted to see each other. Dimitroff is seriously ill as a result of his long imprisonment and the rigors of the Reichstag trial, which lasted a month and a half. Ernst Torgler has been handed over to the Nazi Secret Police and is in a Berlin prison, and faces a new trial on charges of high treason. The (Continued on Page 2) Nazis Behead Two More Communists Workers Masdeved for Resistance in 1931 DESSAU, Jan. 17.—Two Commu- nist workers were beheaded at dawn today under the recent Nazi decree invoking the barbarous axe execu- tions of the Middle Ages. The two workers were recently sentenced to death by a Nazi court on charges of connection with the killing of a Nazi storm trooper in the Province of Anhalts in 1931, when workers resisted an invasion of their district by Nazi storm troopers. In a drive to wreak vengeance on its political opponents, the Na- tional Socialist Party is digging up all cases of workers resistance to the Nazis during the frequent armed clashes in 1931. Many other work- er have been sentenced to death in this connection, on charges of “murdering” Nazis who were shot in street battles between Nazis and anti-fascist workers.

The number of hours worked will be the present pitiful total salary will be sliced. He announced that Federal Emer- gency Relief Administrator Harry L. Hopkins is preparing 2 plan for cut- | ting hours on C.W.A. jobs wherever the latter are higher than the wages paid wader the N.R.A. Backing up N.R.A. Administrator Johnson’s recent outburst about the necessity of bringing down the C.W.A. wages to coincide with certain wage rates being paid under the N.R.A., Roosevelt reassures the rich farmers and industrialists, especially the cot- ton planters and ‘the lumber kings. The C.W.A. rate has been 40 cents an hour in the South, 45 cents in the intermediate area and 50 cents in the North for a thirty-hour week. At the time of General Johnson’s outburst, Hopkins informed the press that C. 'W. A. wages in many sections of the South averaged only $7 a week be- cause of inclement weather. However, even $7 a week is higher than “re- covery” wages being paid under many. NRA. codes, Hopkins’ present funds will be ex- hausted on Feb. 11, Rocseveit also announced.

Hopkins expects the mil- lions who be absolutely destitute on May 1 to “go back to the farms” and to be “absorbed in industry’— despite the continuing evictions of poor farmers and the inability to do anything about the many millions now facing permanent unemployment. Borders, Socialist, Gets Juicy Job for Roosevelt Regime Takes Government Job With Federal Relief Administration WASHINGTON, D. ©,, Jan. 17 Carl Borders, Socialist and former secretary of the Unemployed Citi- zens League of Chicago, has accepted @ job with the Roosevelt government to do field research work for the Federal Relief Administration. Bor- ders resigned from his position as Mid-West Executive Director of the cide.” Socialist organization, the League for Industrial Democracy, to take the job on Rooseyvelt’s payroll. Borders leaves behind him in Chi- cago a record of splitting the unem- ployed movement, and a record of be- trayal of the unemployed. As sec- retary of the Unemployed Citizens League he refused to engage in united front struggles with the Unemployed Councils for more relief. Borders ac- cepted relief cuts without trying to mobilize the workers for a fight. Borders’ action follows similar steps taken by Paul Blanshard of New York, who resigned from the Social- ist Party to accept a position with LaGuardia’s administration; and Up- ton Sinclair, who left the Socialist Party to run as a candidate on the Democratic ticket of California. SAUSAGE MACHINE INJURES 2 JERSEY CITY, N. J, Jan. 17— Two men were injured today when compressed air in a sausage machine blew 2 200-pound weight through a ceiling and struck them glancing blows on the head. C.W.A. Not for Needy, Says Relief Director Wallace By HARRY GANNES NEW YORK.—While Roosevelt’s Federal relief administrator, Harry L. “Hopkins, took steps to whitewash the huge C. W. A. graft and racke- teering scandal on the Mellon “Cathedral of Learning” in Pitts- burgh, the workers mulcted by their A. F. of L, leaders were organizing for a fight against the racketeers. Administrator Hopkins announced Monday that Washington would in- vestigate. Hundreds of workers ex- posed the fact that the Pittsburgh Carpenters’ District Council was forcing them to hand over half of their pay plus $100 initiation feé for the privilege of working on the Mel- jon “fire escape,” better known as the “Cathedral of Learning” of the Uni- versity of Pittsburgh. Borrow Money, Hungry, destitute workers were forced to borrow $10 as an install- ment on initiation fees to pay to union officials before they were al- lowed to get a C, W. A. job on the Mellon structure. They were then compelled to sign a contract every week, promising to bring half of their pay to the union officials. If they failed, they were not given a work- ing card, and the C. W. A. would throw them off their job. On Monday Harry L. Hopkins said that he would direct Erie F. Biddle, tor, to “investigate.” Mr. Biddle, as the Daily Worker published in a previous article on this graft scandal, knew all the time what was going on and permitted it. Now it is revealed this same “in- vestigator” gave a cushy C. W. A job to a former bank official con- victed and sentenced of robbing the bank. Besides condoning wholesale grafting by A. F. of L. officials, Mr. Biddle was helping his political cronies drain the slim payrolls of the C. W. A. in Pittsburgh while hundreds of thousands of starving workers ‘could not get work.

Here is how Biddle did it. A cer- tain gentleman by the name of David ‘W. Charles, who formerly was an of- ficial of the Merion Title & Trust Co. in Ardmore, Pa., helped himself to some of the bank’s cash. Work- ers’ saving deposits were robbed.

Throughout the island, workers are responding to the call of the Commu- nist Party for armed resistance to the reactionary coalition of Ht Army Chief of Staff Batista. De- mands for the resignation of Ba- tista are growing in volume. Strikes are already in prosress in a large number of government departments, completely tying up postal and tele- graph services and other activities. Indignant students, protesting the shcoting down of workers and stu- dents on the day that Hevia was inaugurated as president, demon- strated today before the Presidential Palace demanding punishment of Col. Batista, who gave the order to troops to fire into the crowd. Many Workers Walk, Out Answering the call for a general political strike, workers in many plants came out today. Striking em- Dloyees of the U. S.-owned Compania Cubana de Electricidad, which was seized by the Grau regime a few days ago before Grau was ousted by the “Revolutionary . Junta,” announced they would sharpen their struggle if the new government fails to carry out Grau’s promises for a raise in wages and better conditions. Workers in the company’s power plants at Cienfuegos and Santiago filed new demands on the government and Prepared to join the general walk- out on Thursday. Jefferson Caf‘ery is reported to have sent a secret re- port to Roosevelt, analyzing the sit- uation and advising immediate armed intervention. Employees of the Denartment of Agriculture, which President Hevia headed under the Grau _ regime, threatened to strike against the mili- tary dictate-“hin, and denounced Ba- tista as a “maker and breaker of residents.” Bourgeois Rift Widens School teachers demousirated at Santiago today erainsit the new gov- ernment and refused to disperse when ‘fred on by troops. The rift is growing in the bour- geois camp and in the armed forces, with the navy and sections of the army reported to be supporting An- tonio Guiteras, Grau Minister of the Interior, whose candidacy for pres- fdent was turned down by the “Reyo- lutionary Junta” as the result of furi- ous protests by the students. Guiteras is reported to be organizing a count- er-revolt against Hevia, and was in conference last night with leaders of various political factions. Ammurition was being hurriedly rushed today to various strategic points at the order of Col. Batista. Denver Unemployed Reported Ready to Seize Food Stocks DENVER, Colo., Jan. 17—The capitalist press reports that 400 un- employed workers in Denver are pre- pared today to raid local grocery stores and wholesale food warehouses for food unless the state legislature passes immediate relief legislation. All relief was cut off on Jan. 2 when the state legislature failed to pass relief legislation. It is also reported that one grocery store was raided last week, when 400 workers seized the food, placed it into trucks, and distributed it equally to unemployed heads of families.

The revelation came as a surprise to most members of the Senate in view of the recent governmental ful- minations aztainst the German pro- posals, rising many times to an ac- tual threat of war against Germany. The development shows that the mental seek an agreement with the Nazis for a ngthening of the anti-Soviet front are making head- way. In connection with the anti-Soviet front, French financiers are also studying a scheme to finance Japan- ese imperialism in its proposed war of intervention against the Soviet Union. sti PEIPING, Jan. 17—One thousand Japanese-Manchukuo troops attacked the Chinese garrison near Leng Men Su Pass in the Great Wall last Tues- day, in a new invasion of North China.
