FIRST COMMUNISTS Police Prevent Little Rock Meeting After Circulars Are Distributed. By the Assoclated Press. LITTLE ROCK, Ark, January 24— Frank Brown of New York Mills, Minn., and a local compatriot, sat in a cell to- night in the county jail making plans, they said, further to spread the doc- trine of Communism among the unem- ployed and drought-stricken farmers of Arkansas. Brown and Dominic Zini, North Lit- tle Rock restaurant proprietor, were the first persons on record as having been arrested in Arkansas as Communists. Their arrest today followed distribu- tion of circulars calling a mass meet- ing in North Little Rock of farmers {and the unemployed. * They were charged with inciting to riot. No meeting was held, although police were kept busy dispersing men as they congregated in groups about Brown's_headquarters in North Little Rock. He is organizer for the United Farmers' Leaguc. Brown said he did not believe the Communistic party was in any way re- sponsible for the food demonstratit two weeks ago at England, Ark., but ac mitted Communist newspapers were “Rr:;:gr freely circulated around Little | " He said he had received “very favor- able receptions” among farmers in Arkansas. Among _papers seized by police in Brown's headquarters was a sizeable {list_of subscribers in North Little Rock to The Liberator, described as an offi- | cial Communist organ. Communist membership cards also were seized, disclosing & few members in this area. | | | | ot | | RELIEF HEARINGS OPEN TOMORROW; HELD IN ARKANSAS PAYNE FIRST WITNESS 3333383338 .

Dr. William Dekleine of Washington, national medical director of the Red Cross, who now is working in the field, found a few cases of ‘“so-called in- fluenza and some pellegra.” “While I cannot say that.the chil- dren generally appear undernourished,” he advised, “we did see several who looked hollow-eyed and tired. I cannot help but feel, however, the children are going through something they have never before experienced and unless we do something especially for them they will have suffered most when this situa- tion is over.” Reports from Louisiana said ap- proximately 103,000 persons were being fed by the Red Cross. In 67 Texas counties the Red Cross was feeding 30,- 000, while in Oklahoma counties, 50,- 000 persons were receiving aid. The Cambria-Majestic 1324 Euclid St. N.W.
