-Four Other Arrested
Workers Dismissed

With~thedholding overof the case
of Nathan Kaplan, young furrier
arrested IN connection with an anti
imperialist demonstration in Wall
Street July 8, for grand jury hear
in, the frame-up of this militant
worker begins to loom more ON
inously.
Kaplan appeared yesterday morn
ing in the First District Criminal
Court, Center and Franklin Sts., to
answer a charge of felonious as
sault. He was accused by Officer
Keegan of having bitten his finger
at the July demonstration. Despite
the fact that witness for the prose
cution repeatedly contradicted HIM
self and three defense witnesses,
Laurence Ross, D. Benjamin and
Nathan Adler, testified that the in
jury to Keegan's finger had been
sustained when he punched Kaplan
in the face and his fist caught on
the defendants teeth, Magistrate
George Washington Simpson re-
fused to dismiss the case.
The New York Section of the In
ternational Labor Defense, which is
defending all the workers arrested
In connection with the denonstra-
ton, was also compelled to furnish
an additional $1,000 bail to secure
Kaplan's release.
Four other workers, Max Shacht-
man, D. Benjamin, George Powers
and l. Zimmerman, who were ar
rested at the anti-imperialist demon

WELCOME FREED
WORKERS TODAY
Union Square Meet To
Protest Frame-up

The release of four of the workers
who were jailed for participation in
an anti-imperialist demonstration
on July 8 will be celebrated with a
huge welcome in Union Square at
4;30 this afternoon at which sew
eral thousand militant workers are
expected to be present. The well
come will also take the form of a
protest against the jailing of the
workers and particularly against
the frame-up of Nathan Kaplan,
young furrier, who is now cut on
$1,000 all on a charge of felonious
assault, awaiting grand jury
hearing. Kaplan, it is pointed out,
has been selected as the scapegoat,
and unless the class-conscious work
ers of the city launch a drive for
his immediate release, he will be
railroaded to jail
The chief speakers at the well
come and protest meeting this
afternoon will be the four released
workers, Robert Minor, editor of
The DAILY WORKER and Work
ers Party candidate for U. S.
Senator; Rebecca Grecht, Workers
Party candidate for assembly and
election campaign manager of Dis
trict 2; Harriet Silverman, secre-
tary of the New York branch of the
All = America Anti Imperialist
League, which arranged the July
3rd demonstration, and Robert
Wolf, poet and novelist.
Kate Gitlow, secretary of the
United Council of Workingclass
Women, who was also arrested and
later released, will also speak and
demand that she be given the same
treatment as her comrades.

PRAGUE, Czechoslavakia, July
12.-Smirchov and Vysocan, the
leaders of the relief organizations
and Vrsovic of the Federation of
Proletarian Physical Culture re-
ceived an order from the Prague
police that their organizations are
from now on dissolved, and that all
their possessions and documents are
to be turned over to the police. The
order was based on certain slogans
which were used by these organiza-
tions in a demonstration The word
ing of these slogans were censured
by the police.
Similar organizations were dis
banded by the police in Liben and
Klado, and in the latter place the
children were forbidden to partici-
pate in proletarian sport festivals.
The police at Liben appropriated
the treasury Of the sport organiza-
tion and all their papers.

Thousands to

Play Tomorrow
"Theremin." F"

"Theremin."
This is the magic name that has
been on the lips of thousands of New
York workers during the past two
weeks. Theremin is the wizard of
the new age who performs his
miracles not by superstitious hocus-
pocus, but thru the application of
scientific principles that he has been
the first to discover.
Tomorrow evening $4,000 workers
will at last have the opportunity to
see and hear this distinguished
scientist of the Soviet Union at the
greatest proletarian musical event
ever held in this country, the concert
at Coney Island Stadium arranged
by The DAILY WORKER.
Theremin's program has already
been announced, program that will
display to the full all the possibilities
of his wonderful invention which en-
ables music of the greatest beauty
to be drawn or of the air with
movements of the hand. In another
part of this paper a special inter-
view with Theremin will be found
which discusses in fuller detail the
achievement of this great scientist.
Theremin alone would be a suffi-
cient attraction to pack Coney Sta
dium. But in addition to him the
committee in charge has secured
Arnold Volpe and his famous or
chestra of so picked musicians in a
program of symphonic favorites and
the Roxy Ballet in oriental and Rus
sian dances under the direction of
A. nellie, former dance partner of
Pavlova.
Tickets have been selling so fast
that it is likely that the demand
will surpass the supply. Workers
who want to make sure of not miss
ing this event of the century, should
therefore buy their tickets at once at

two days to get the men out. The

WORKERS PARTY
NEEDS $4,000
BEFORE AUGUST
100000 Required For
Election Drive

The first response to the call OF
the National Election Campaign
Committee for contributions to the
100000 Communist Campaign Fund
have been highly gratifying anc
have given the fund a fine start, ac-
cording to a statement issued by the
Committee last night.
Hereafter, until the full quota is
reached, the job will require steady
work by all elements in the Commu-
mist movement.
The National Office of the Work
ers Party is reporting an extreme
shortage of funds. Work on the
campaign has been steadily carried
on for months. Numerous organi-
zers and speakers have been main
tained in the field thruout this
period. Much of the preliminary
work of organizing the campaign on
countrywide basis and of putting
the party on the ballot has already
been accomplished.
New Funds Now.
Quite number of states are al
ready on the ballot. Several more
states are daily expected to report
success in this field, while reports
from all sections of the country in
dicate that everywhere the tempo of
the election campaign is increasing.
Launch Tours.
If the success already gained are
to be continued, twenty thousand
dollars must be raised before August
firsrt. This sum is needed to pay
for the immediate necessary print
ing, the production of the first lot of
literature, campaign posters and
campaign buttons, the maintenance
Of the organizers and speakers al
ready in the field, and to pay the
legal expenses of the bitter fight
that must be conducted in many
states to force the officials to certify
our party for the ballot.
Twenty thousand dollars by Aug.
1st is tremendous sum of money,
especially when very litele of this
can be expected to come in lump
sums. The campaign depends wholly
on the contributions of large num-
bers of individual workers, and the
Campaign Committee is confident
that the workers will respond gen.
erously.
All contributions should be ad-
dressed to Alexander Trachtenberg,
Treasurer, 43 East 125th St, New
York.

MOSCOW, July 12.-The giant
Russian icebreaker Krassin today
rescued Captain Adalberto Mariana
and Captain Filippo zappi, of the
dirigible Italia.
The third man of the group of
three which left the dirigible Italia
ice camp forty-three days ago
Finn Malmgren, Swedish meteorolo-
gist-was dead. He died a month
ago.
With Malmgren's body, over
which they had kept vigil, the two
Italian naval officers were taken
aboard the Krassin, which resumed
at once her fight through the ice to
effect other rescues.
The rescue was made possible BY
flights Tuesday of the Russian avia.
tor, 'Chukhnovsky, and four COM
panions, who today were themselves
stranded on the Arctic ice awaiting
rescue by the Krassin.
Plane Damaged
They were forced to attempt
landing on the ice when they lost
their bearings on later flight. The
plane was damaged, and today, with
ample provisions and a radio, they
waited for rescue by the big ice
breaker.
Zappi and Mariana said that they
had abandoned hope until Chukh-
.uovsky's airplane roared through
the air toward them through the fog,
sighted them as they waved with ex-
element and circled over them five
times, to indicate that it had seen
them.
During the intervening hours they
knew that rescue was near, they
said.
Zappi and Mariana had been with
out food for thirteen days when
they were found. Chukhnovsky and
his companions, flying over the ice
between the Krassin and the camp
where four members of the Italia
crew are awaiting resuce, spotted
the three men who had been given
up for lost. Two were standing or
the ice waving their arms to attract
the planes attention. The third was
lying on the ice. 1t was not known
until today that this was Malmgren,
dead.
Wrecked on Third Flight
Chukhnovsky flew back to the
irassin, reported his discovery and
returned to attempt to land near
the men. He was unable to find a
safe landing place on the rough ice
and returned to the Krassin.
He started out on third flight,
it was brought out today, this time
to drop message to the party that
help was only a few miles away
a little more than thirteen, to be ex-
act, for the Krassin was reported
earlier only that distance away,
fighting her way, nosing aside one
by one the ice floes in her path.
This time Chrkhnovsky and his
companions met disaster themselves.
They made forced landing on
the ice and smashed their plane.
Taking their fourteen days rations,
the fliers made for the coast, found
it and radioed their position to the
Krassin.
