Their Political Fate in Hands of Voters
r
Communism, 1938 Variety
National interest is centered on these men who seek the voters’ approval in hotly contested elections
November 8. TOP ROW, left to right, Thomas E. Dewey, Republican district attorney of New York, pitted

President’s Dream House Nears Completion
Arriving at New York, John
Strachey, leading British writer on
communism, was notified that the
state department had cancelled the
visa he obtained before sailing from
England to lecture in this country
on socialism and communism. H<
was not allowed to leave his ship.
- American Commu
nism of 1938 is less
red-bearded than a
decade ago, more
over is a far less
threat to national se
curity than popularly
supposed. But this
does not minimise its
importance in the
American scene, as
shown currently by
the Dies congres
sional committee’s
investigation. To visit
the stronghold of this
party, one goes
through the door at
the left, seeing first
a portrait of Lenin.
Communism’s headquarters are in an unimposing ISete York
building on Union square, where the party’s ranking officers preside,
where communistic literature is published, where one tnay buy
buttons and emblems. In the same neighborhood is the national
Socialist party, bitter rival of the “hammer and sickle” fraternity.
Above: files in Communism’s headquarters where are stored pam
phlets on party, labor, peace, tear and other subjects.
“Mother” of American Communism is Ella Reeve Bloor (left),
who was the daughter of “a rich old Republican,” who began her
career as a follower of Eugene Debs. Since then she has known
picket lines from coast to coast, has been through some of industry’s
bitterest strikes. General secretary of Communism is Earl Browder
(right), who not only maintains his organisation, but strives to
win new members. When not out of New York, he lives in Yonkers
with his Russian wife and their three children.
m&a
Communists make much fun
of the Dies investigation, which
attempted to show America teas
undermined by this menace.
When the committee moved from
Washington to New York, pretty
girl communists chided congress
men for believing a charge that
Shirley Temple was innocently
supporting Communism. When
their pictures are taken, ardent
Communists give the salute, as
did Benjamin Sobel (left) when
he told the Dies committee
about his service with Spain’s
loytdist army.
Communism barks loudly, as shown by its many oublications.

I T WASN’T much of a quarrel-
just a few bitter words strung
together in angry haste; all about
the bedroom walls.
“Only forty dollars for such lovely
paper; and it’s impossible the way
it is!”
“Forty dollars is too much; you’re
paying for the man’s reputation!”
“But any paper hanger would
charge twenty-five—”
“Well—I was brought up to realize
that fifteen dollars was worth sav
ing!”
That was the beginning. As Ralph
Brown, husband, closed the door, his
ears were assaulted with this last
Parthian shot:
“If you are too stingy to support
me in decency. I’ll go home!"
The poison of the thing got into
his system. He never used to
wrangle with anyone. Since his
marriage, a year ago, there had
been too much of it; maybe, after
all, fifteen dollars was a small con
cession, but it was the principle of
the thing!
Barbara and he had different
standards where money was con
cerned. She wanted the best—or
nothing. He would compromise by
enjoying next-best! The word
“stingy” in her ringing tones
heckled him through his morning's
work. He worried through till
lunchtime. A bowl of delicious soup,
a cool, refreshing salad perfectly
served at his favorite restaurant,

swept away the cobwebs. He would
telephone Babs and tell her to order
the paper. He would demonstrate
that he wasn’t "stingy!”
Whereupon, puffing at his good
cigar, he reached for the telephone
and then remembered that Barbara
was due at a luncheon and bridge
at one. He went back to the office
with his peace of mind almost re
stored.
A client detained him and it was
late when he got away.
When he reached home the house
was unlighted. He left the car in
front and entered with his latchkey.
Silence. Switching on the lights, he
made his way to the kitchen. Or
der prevailed. At this time of day
he was accustomed to the inter
esting clutter of a meal in the mak
ing, to Barbara’s slender figure en
veloped in cretonne over her pret
ty dress, her bright head bent over
some homely task, and to the sweet
freshness of her kiss as she lifted
her lips to his. She was always
home before him.
Ralph had a slight chill. He called
her name loudly. Silence. Then,
like an evil flash, came her Par
thian shot and its concluding, “I’ll
go home, Ralph Brown!”
“Nonsense,” he exploded to the
blank, listening walls. He went into
the living room and tried to read.
Impossible.
Seven-thirty. Eight o’clock. Cast
ing aside his pride, ha went to the
telephone and called her nearest
friend.
“Selma, this is Ralph. What time
did Barbara leave the bridge party
today?”
“Why, Ralph, I’ve been trying to
get her all afterhoon. She wasn’t
there.” Ralph hung up the receiv
er with a terrible goneness in the
pit of his stomach.
Barbara had gone; her folks lived
upstate—she had probably gone
home. He couldn’t telephone them
—his pride forbade. He must let
her go. He sank into a chintz-cov
ered chair and buried his face in
one of her hand-made pillows. • Life
without her unrolled before him
like a distorted film. He finally
arose and restored the room to such
order as his clumsy masculine
methods and nervous fingers would
allow. She must have been in a ter
rific hurry to get away, once she
had decided to go. Probably rushed
to get a trajn—or maybe she had
driven all the way. He would go
around to the garage and see if her
car was gone.
Bareheaded he ran out into the
stygian darkness. “Oh, Lord,” he
prayed, “send her back to me and
I’ll never oppose her again!” which
was a large order but came from
the depths of his sick soul. He was
about to retrace his steps, when a
muffled sound and a slight creaking
of the car body made him pause.
Something was agitating it with a
slight motion.
Quickly he stepped inside, flashed
on the lights and opened the car
door. There lay Barbara, bound
hand and foot with an oily rag gag
ging her. \
A few seconds later she lay in
his arms telling him in jerky sen
tences about the ugly tramp that
had lain in wait for her in the
garage.
“He took my keys and, oh Ralph,
my lovely necklace,” she wailed.
And the husband who, only a few
hours before, had balked at $15, re
plied lightly:
“Pooh! What’s a diamond neck
lace! I’ll buy you another tomor
row with a giant police dog thrown
in for good measure.”
