Mr.. Oberg might be there yet, ac-
cordlng to a statement made by Mr..
Bernard Anderson, Swedish vice
consul but for the release on bond of
one of the detective bureau prisoners
who notified the Swedish consul of
Mr.. Oberg's plight.
Mr.. Hugo Oberg's arrest and treat
ment will be taken up with Mayor
Dever and Chief Collins by the Swed-
lsh Consulate declared Mr.. Anderson
to the DAILY WORKER yesterday.

of foreign governments which were
entirely ignored by Mr.. Grady.
The story told by Mr.. Anderson is
as follows: "Mr. oberg after leaving
the Drake Hotel on Thursday evening
where he attended banquet visited
several South Side cafes on sight
seeing trips. Lieutenant Michael
Grady arrested him tho there was no
raid, and asked him who he was.
Mr.. Oberg showed his credentials
ss Swedish chancellor. This caused
Mr.. Grady to indulge in loud outlaws
and made facetious retorts. When
asked what he was arrested fol Grady
said "for MURDER" and laughed. Mr..
Oberg was not in a hilarious mood.
He was then taken to the detective
bureau and packed in with rs other
prisoners in the filthiest police base
ment in the United States. There are
five cells in this place, each one with
an III smelling toilet, and two planks
to sleep on. The capacity of each cell
IS about eight people, but from Is to
20 are packed in like sardines at
times.
Mr.. Oberg was taken out for "show-
up" with every roll call and asked the
usual humiliating questions that are
put to hardened criminals. He was
not allowed to telepaone or send any
message to the outside world.
His friends inquired at the Irving
Park police station sac I'D not get

How about having little space

where they will be held.-Minnie
Simon, Chicago, Ill.
To the Daily Worker: MY opinion
is that "a Week" should be published
one installment each week in the
magazine section. We need more
news to agitate the workers minds -
P. r. Matkowski, Mason City, Iowa.
To the Daily Worker: think that
the novel "a Week" ought to be
published daily in our paper. The
minds and souls of the workers are
SO attached to the daily problems
that they need something to lift them
out Of the rut. Reading daily an in
stallment of fine novel like "A
Week" would do that. Then our paper
needs larger number of readers. 1t
would not be able to get them if it
contained only serious matter.
Interesting features like "a Week"
will satisfy readers and atNract more
OF them.-Jack Samek, New York.

To the Daily Worker: For my
part ! would like to see "A Week.

I orker VolkSzeltung our Communist
German newspaper, and Julia Stuart
Poyntz, who was chairman.
The celebration had a festive air
about it because the program in
cluded music, supplied by Frances
Geddes, soprano singer; Joseph
Fuchs, concert-violinist; and Austin
Gordon, pianist.
Benjamin Gitlow auctioned off the
first copy Of the Daily Worker which
was sold to the highest bidder for
$50. The second copy brought SIS,
the third $40 and the fourth So. Then
copies were sold at So and at 81 each,
which raised the sale to several
hundred dollars all for the benefit Of
the DAILY WORKER. In addition,
bonds for the paper were bought by
various unions and other organiza-
tions: 500 by the Bakers Union No.
3, Amalgamated Food Workers, and
$50 each from the Williamsport and
Bronx branches.
Altogether the meeting was one Of
the most enthusiastic ever held. Those
present at the celebration showed
that they realized what great sig
nificance a daily organ Of the Workers
Party in the English language has for
the class conscious LABOR movement
Of America, and they received with
great enthusiasm the remarks of the
speakers who spoke about this.
William z. Foster was received
with the greatest ovation and with a
strong applause. The crowd rose
spontaneously and sang the Inter-
national.
Comrade Foster said that the per-
secution of radicals by the Depart
ment of Justice does not weaken but
strengthens the Workers Party and
the radical labor movement. He then
spoke very impressively Of the power
of the press here and in all other
countries, and showed how the Soviet
government carried on the work of
educating the masses through the
spoken and written word.
"The YOUTH" said Foster, "was
brought up on harmful spiritual
nourishment here, as we'll as every
where else, with the exception of Rus
STA. and it is no easy task to drive
out the false ideas from the heads of
the mass when it is grown up. The

2.-To survey and map Alaska
from the air.
3.-To hang up a new aerial rec
ord for America by making around
the world flight by dirigible.
DENLY revealed for the first time
that it is the plan to have the Shen-
andoah start on around the world
fight Immediately after completing
the mapping of Alaska. From Spitz-
bergen the dirigible would fly to Eng
lana and on around the globe, DENLY
said.
DENLY said the Polar fight should
be undertaken this yedr, because next
year will be "too late"
"Some other progressive power
with the facilities will beat America
to it and add to its possession an un-
explored area of one million square
miles that scientists believe lies just
north of Alaska" he said.
Whether that land is habitable or
not, it would be the possession of the
United States" he said.

fun and frolic. The play spirit pre-.

adults as well as youths. Franks were
