HEARING TODAY
ON YOKINEN
Govt Trying Deport
Militant

NEW YORK. - August Yokinen
Finnish worker who is facing depor-
tation to fascist Finland because of
his pledge to fight for Negro rights,
will have a hearing this morning in
the United States District court in
the old Post Office Building, Park
Place and Broadway. The hearing
will open at 10 O'Clock. Yokinen will
be defended by Mrs. King, attorney
of the International Labor Defense.
Yokinen was arrested for deporta-
ton several months ago following his
public reputation of the boss poison
of race hatred and his public accep-
lance of the Communist program of
full and unconditional equality for
the Negro people.
Protest demonstrations against the
persecution of Yokinen have been
held in the New York and other dis
tricts. Hundreds of thousands Of
workers have registered their indig-
nation at the attempt of the govern
ment to send Yokinen to his death
or imprisonment in fascist Finland as
a deliberate punishment for his re-
lection of the bourgeois theology Of
Negro inferiority. Scores of workers
will be present in the court today to
show their solidarity with Yokinen.
