From noon until well into the evening, tomorrow-. Union Square in New Vork will be bright with lhe red banners of marching thousands and noisy with the clamor of vociferous orators, thumping bands and the shrill songs of "baby Communists.”
There may be other striking developments in this “pageant of progress" for the date conflicts with the annual natriotic service of the Veterans of Foreign Wars, who have been granted sole use of the Square from noon unUl 2 p.m., when they are to give way to the Socialists.
The Socialists will hold forth for two hours, surrendering the seven wooden pulpits to the Communists at 4 p.m. and that, to the minds of anxious police officials, is exactly where the trouble may start.
No CommunlBt demonstrations were expected in Los Angeles tomorrow, because of activity of police who have promptly halted recent parades.

MARTINEZ SIERRA TO BE GUEST AT TOUCHSTONE PLAY :
Spanish Author Will See His "Cradle Song'' Presented by Drama Shop
G. Marllnez Sierra, leading Spanish dramatist will be guest of honor at Drama Shop's production of his best-known drama, “Cradle Song," Thursday evening May 7, In Touchstone theater.
Senor Sierra Is living In Hollywood at present, where he la engaged in the filming ol Spanish talking pictures at Paramount studios, both supervising and directing.
The playwright's unusual gift of creating characters lhat are spontaneously human Is Illustrated in “Cradle Song." He draws no villain, nor supermen and seldom uses theatrical tricks to aid a situation. Absolute unity Ib the effect he strives for, character synchronizing with theme, dialogue with action and situation with background, lt Ia a curious fact that in reliving the play, the characters do not recur to the mind, but the atmosphere aud the feeling of tin- whole remains.
In “Cradle Song" Sierra has written of the cry of the eternal mother Instinct which has been stifled and denied, ln the play an entire convent of nuns are whole heartedly devoted to the foundling left at their door. But the atory Is chiefly of the deep love between the orphaned girl and her guardian, Sister Johanna of the Cross.
A reception is planned after the theater for Senor Sierra, members of the cast and the two other honor guests for the evening.
ned tonl«(h! In the form of rally which Is scheduled to start at 7:30 o'clock at the Southern Pacific Station. The team will leave on the I.ark a half an hour later, arriving at their headquarters at the Cardinal hotel, Palo Alto, early Saturday morning.
There is one question burning j on the minds of all concerned I with the outcome of the meet. It can Ben Eastman, Stanford's bespectacled Sophomore do the | Iron-man act mapped out for him, by winning the quarter and half-mile runs and then anchoring a winning relay team?” Upon his ability to do this rests the hopes of the Redmen.
Likewise upon the broad snoul-ders of big Hob Hall rests a weighty (excuse the pun) problem. If the tall Trojan can break the Indian beef trust tn tlie weights, Troy's chances of winning will be very bright indeed. Handicapped by an Injury to hla wrist, Hall has been unjuslly criticized for falling to perform up to the standard he set last season.
Flying Frank Wykoff has an old score to settle with Hec Dyer in the sprints. Trojan rooters sat stunned last year as they watched Dyer beat the Glendale flash in the century. In the furlong Ihe two men raced stride for stride and broke the tape in a dead heat. Wykoff later beat the Indian on several occasions and Is determined to do so again tomorrow. Les Hables, who chased Wykoff to a world's record, rflusl be figured, along with little Milt Maurer, IximbardI of the Indians Is said to be out of the meet with a foot injury.
The “Quarter of the Century” has aroused the interest of the track world, and picking the winner Is a problem. Vic Williams, Troy’s National A.A.U. 440 yard champion with the fiqhting finish will face hie greatest test In Ben Eaetman, Templeton's phenomenal middle distance runner. This race may see the collapse of Ted Meredith’s slxtcsn-year-old intercollegiate record of 47.7 seconds.
Annual All-U Sport Dance Will be Fete for Hopeful S. C. Politicians
Politicians will abound tonight at the all-U. annual spring sports dance, which has this year been acrorded thn title of “Campaign Capera." Programs, bids, decorations, and even the orchestra hav« been chosen to carry out Mm* general theme of the dance.
Curtis Mosby and his Dixieland band, will furnish the music. This is the first time In Iho history of social events at S. C. that a Negro orchestra has been employed. and It 1s believed by the social committee that It will offfcr music in keeping with Ihe affair.
Decorations, while carrying out the spirit of the political dance, combine ae well the May rtay theme. Large baskets of flowers, numerous palms, colored flood lights, revolving lights, and other symbols of spring will be used.
Soap boxes will not only lend
color to the decorations, but wm be used by aspiring candidate* to proclaim their qualiflcatloiM. Forming a background for th* politicians will be eccentric posters.
"This is the first tlm* we h«r* ever admitted the political nature of an all-unlverslty function, although others have been held behind blinds," states Janet »*c-Ooy, "and we feel sure that the obvious application of politics add spice to the dance.**
Patrons and patronesses for tonight’s danee will Include: Dr. and Mrs. R H. von KleinSmid. Dean Mary Sinclair Crawford. Dean Francis Bacon, Dr. and Mrs. Hoy Malcom and Di. and Mra. O. W. E. Cook.
