Worker TOR Visiting USSR

BELGRADE (By MaiD.-After
the military dictatorship was set up
in Yugoslavia, new wave of re-
action set in. All the revolutionary
organizations were forced under
ground and bitter repressions were
directed against the revolutionary
unions and prominent leaders.
A leather worker, Marganovich
by name, was one Of the victims
soon to fall to the unbridled terror
observed in this country. Together
with u~dreds of other workers he
was ZEN to the police station
where with true lackeys of bloody
King Alexander abiectly tortured
him. Marganovich refused to give
any information whatever and the
butchers were unable to break his
fine spirit. The chief charge against
Comrade Marganovich was that he
had visited the USSR, a fact that
prompted the brutal Yugoslavian
police officers to make an example
of him. Other workers who had
been arrested, upon acquittal owing
to lack of evidence, stated that
Marganovich had been So mutilated
and disfigured that they did not
recognize him. After leaving the
special room for cross-examination
and torture he had to be carried into
he police station because he was un-
sole to walk. The police were in
crested in concealing Marganovich's
