Refuge in the Camp of
Renegades

HYLVAN A. POLLACK, who disclosed himself
as a despicable coward, when he led the DO
lice OF Scranton, Pa. Gin July, this year,, to the
confidential address, where Comrades John
Little and Dan Singer were then arrested and
Party records seized, and who is now trying to
hide his shame in the camp of the renegade
Trotskyites, stands expelled from the Comnau-
mist Party of the u S. A. by action of its Cen
trail Control Commission, and is hereby exposed
as an enemy and traitor to the working class
The fact that he has been a member of the
Party fer many years and that he has held
number of responsible posts makes his crime
only more odious and inexcusable
Pollack's cowardice and treachery are plainly
shown and proved by his own statements before
the Central Control Commission Although deny
ing that he led the police to the confidential
address, and trying to explain that the police
knew the place themselves Con which point the
Central Control Commission has evidence that
the police did not have this information before
they arrested Pollack); by a close examination
he was forced to contradict himself almost on
every essential point; such as, was he or was
he not threatened and rough-handed by the
police; did he or did he not give any hints as
to the location of the house. was he asked for
information about the house where he CPollack)
lived or about the house where Little and Singer
were staying.
And he floundered miserably when confronted
with three important questions: % If YOU
really refused to give to the police the informa-
ton which they were insisting upon how did it
happen that, when they took you into the auto
mobile to go to the house, you were so friendly
with them as to offer them your cigarettes? co
If they did not know the number of the house,
how did they come to the exact floor and room
in which Comrades Little and Singer we're
sleeping; and 90 Why, through several hear
ings, did you hide from the Central Control
Commission the fact that you lived in diff
ferent place from the other comrades, and that
you could have led the police to your own ad-
dress, instead of going with them to the con-
fdential address?
The Central Control Commission was con-
WINGED of Pollack's guilt right after those hear
ingS and a formal decision was delayed only
for certain reasons connected with the coming
trial of the Scranton case in the courts Know
ing his guilt, and feeling that the Central Con-
troll Commission also knew it. Pollock estab-
ished secret connections with the Trotskyites in
preparation of political refuge, regardless of
how greatly diScredited it already was.
When called before the Central Control Com
mission again. and questioned about these con-
nections, Pollock repeated his whining and
scoundrelly tactics He denied having any such
connections; he faxed angry resentment when
he was asked. If he had any sympathies with
the renegades; he promised to give a written
statement denouncing tho renegades as coun-
ter-revolutionary group and he repeated this
promise several times up to within two weeks of
the date w.-o-- 'e came out with his Shiny ad-
herence to and endorsement of the Trotskyite
renegades
1t is quite natural that the renegades, Trot-
ckvifaS well Ynvestoneites extend broth
erly welcome into their camp to any and every
cowardly traitor and scoundrel who is found out
and cast off by the Communist Party, but all
class conscious workers and workers organiza-
tons will turn in disgust from any contact with
them.
