Pricea Effective in Both Stores Through Saturday, August 7th Communists to Back Wallace, Dennis Tells Party's Convention By th* Associated Pr*ss NEW YORK, Aug. 4.—The gen^ eral secretary of the Communist Party In America say* the rise of the new Progressive Party signals a "developing crisis within monopoly's two-party system.” Eugene Dennis told the party's national convention yesterday that the Communists will wage a cam paign in support of Henry A. Wal lace and the Progressive Party. The Communists will put up a ‘‘limited number” of candidates of their own, he said. Dennis’ speech was made at a closed session of the convention, but portions of it were released by the convention’s publicity staff. Dennis said Communists have no desire to "take over” the new Progressive Party, and that the ultimate aims of the Communist party are fundamentally different from those of the Wallace Progres sives. Will Help Build New Party. “We i Communists > are the party of Socialism,” he said, “and repudiate all notions of a ‘progressive cap italism.’ ’’ However, he said the Communists will support the Progressive Party because "it creates conditions favor able for labor's historic struggle to lead the democratic movements of the people and to advance its in dependent class position.” "We Communists,” he said "will • * • help build the new party as a non-Communlst, people's united front mass organization and move ment.” This support will continue, he said, despite contentions that it should be withdrawn if Communists "really want to help beat reaction.” Eisenhower "Saved.” Dennis was one of 12 top Com munist officials recently indicted by a Federal grand jury on charges of seeking to overthrow the United States Government. He said that "big capital is sav ing (Gen. Dwight D.) Eisenhower for a more acute national emer gency, where he can appear in the guise of a nonpartisan candidate and play the Cincinnatus role of national savior.” "Nevertheless, big business seeks to assure that the crisis in the Dem ocratic Party does not develop into a death crisis for the two-party system. "Therefore, while placing its money on the GOP to win, it is doctoring up the donkey to keep it in the race and to make the Democrats a formidable 'loyal oppo sition' after November.” Court Permits Chicago trial For 4 in Garsson Case By th* Associated Pros* BALTIMORE, Aug. 4. — Federal Judge William C.

But the preference for today’s great new line of Cadillacs is extraordinary — even for Cadillac. Literally thousands who have previously been content with lesser cars are deciding to end all compromise and own “the Standard of the World. Two things are largely responsible for this re markable upsurge in Cadillac’s .popularity. First is the car’s unique and original beauty — and, second, is its incomparably finer performance.
