Trade Dial 7159 Exclusion Of All Communists From Labor Party Urged NEW YORK, N. Y.—A strongly worded demand for excluding all Com munist from the American Labor party was made in a resolution adopt ed by the third annual city conven tion of the Social Democratic Feder ation here. Louis Waldman, chairman of a spe cial cyommittee set up to make a sur vey of Red activities, reported that out of thirty Labor party clubs in Manhattan nineteen are controleld by Communists. Largest Man-Made tsiana Treasure Island was reclaimed from San Francisco bay by army engineers. It was founded in Yerba Buena shoals, which was chosen for a central location, and was financed by over $3,000,000 from WPA funds. A fleet of 11 dredges pumped black sand from the floor of the bay and sloughed it through pipe lines over the shoal. A sea wall containing over 200,000 tons of quarried rock was built. The natural depth was from 2 to 26 feet below water, and a four-acre rectangle was filled in to its present elevation of 13 feet above the tides. It stands now as the largest island ever built by man. Sharks Valued Dead ur Alive Sharks have the double advantage of being just as valuable dead as they are alive, according to A1 Mey er, expert on the Pacific coast fish ing industry. His statistics show that 1,500,000 sharks are being used in the shark reduction industry in the United States. However, before they are caught, they are equally valuable in protecting sardines by sating the larger fish that prey on sardines. -I Jews arriving at Tel Aviv from Germany, actually kissed the ground I for joy! Monkeys Learn Barter System in Record Time Chimpanzees, like their human counterparts, quickly learn a mone tary system with all its attendant bickering and hoarding. Dr. John B. Wolfe, of the University of Mis sissippi, has learned. They learn to work for food, then for “tokens”—and how to spend these tokens for food, water, tid bits, the psychology professor told students at Tulane university. And Just by way of education the professor, during his four years of experimentation with the chimp col ony at Yale, introduced a token which would buy nothing. The chimps discarded the worthless to kens. Dr. Wolfe introduced tokens of varied value and vending machines which dispensed water and food. The Chimpanzees soon learned which to kens bought one, two and three por tions of food and singled out the ones which bought the most. They learned to work for the to kens, as they had previously learned to work for food, and began hoard ing the valuable pieces of tender. In one experiment, Dr. Wolfe de prived one Chimpanzee of water for several hours and another of food for the same period. Then he gave the thirsty chimp tokens which would buy only food, and the hun gry brother tokens which would buy only water. The wise chimps looked at their money, exchanged the tokens through cage bars, and went to the vending machines.
