err from Akron, Ohio,
it is clear that the Fed
oral Government, thru
its secret service department,
is working up war propaganda
and furthering the attack
against the foreign born work
ers through what appears to be
one of the worst frame-ups
ever manufactured by the
bosses.
Federal secret service men have
arrested Hungarian worker, Paul Y.
Kassay on the framed UP charge of
sabotage Of the construction of the
navy dirigible akron" at the Good
year-zeppelin Co. plant, Akron, Ohio.
The secret service agents are al
ready beginning to cook up all sorts
of evidence" This is part of the
Fish Committee campaign to Jail and
deport foreign born workers. 1t is a
counter-attack by the capitalists to
the nationwide demonstrations on
March %, called by the League of
Struggle for Negro Rights, the Com
mittee for the Protection of Foreign
Born, and the International Labor
Defense to protest against the perse-
cution of Negro and foreign born
workers and against all proposed laws
for fingerprinting, deportation, etc.
The story peddled by the capitalist
newspapers is that Kassay "con-
fessed" that he sabotaged the build
ing of the dirigible because he did
not want to see it go up.
At the first opportunity given him
to make any public expression, Kas-
say declared that the whole affair
was frame-up; that all the stories
peddled about him are lies, concocted
purely by the government dicks be-
cause he is militant foreign-boru
worker and reader of radical liter
allure.
kassay is now in Jail on $25, COO bail
on the charge OF criminal syndical-
ism. When asked by newspaper re-
porterS about the charge against him
he said, 1T is dirty frame-up." He
said that he knew the government
had a stool-pigeon by the name of
"Petro" working at the bench next
to him. The federal authorities adj
nit that Petro was in their employ.
"Petro' suggested that Kassay do
some sabotage and that the federal
authorities would pay his wife $4,000.
There are many other obscure
angles to the case about which the
Daily Worker does not have clear re-
ports. An investigation is being made
so that all the facts can be presented
to the readers of the Daily Worker.
According to the Akron Times Press
Kassay is reported to have said: az
was trying to do something to help
and now everything has cen turned
against me. 1t is frame-up."
Many other rurnors are being print
ed in the capitalist press to make the
whole thing appear as a deep laid
plot by the Communists, while it is
very clear from the facts printed even
by the capitalist press that the So
called sabotage, if any, was the plan
OF "Petro," the agent of the L S.
Secret Service, in an endeavor to
frame up other workers.
The capitalist press throughout the
entire country has already picked up
this apparent frame-up in a drive
against the Communist Party and in
