(ous Correspondent in the Soviet Unionl
THE Soviet Union has developed new type OF
hero. You find their pictures and stories on
the front pages of the daily papers, Magazines
devote illustrated articles to them their faces
flash across the movie screen In workers clubs,
entrance rooms to skating Kinks movies thea
tres, and on collective farms, in factories, and
museums, you come upon galleries of life-size
drawings and busts Of these heroes of socialist
construction
There are literally many thousands of them
workers whose valiant efforts and noteworthy
deeds their fellows have been quick to honor.
Among them are many women. ResourcefuI in
dependent, and with minds largely freed from all
those petty household cares that hampered them
in the past, these women devote their energies
TO building the new life, in factory, club, and
community.
"The Working Glass Should Know It's Heroes"
Recently I attended a small conference of
working women in the Moscow Region who had
received the Order of Lenin (the highest honor
awarded by the Soviet Government to those

called together by the Communist Party, which

One after another the women we're asked to

honor Her record included more than ten VAL

as result of which the factory saved 100000
roubles.
"Ten us more about yourself" the other women
asked Proletarskaya.
II don't know how to talk about myself" she
answered simply. "All I know is that under=

their best"

THE American imperialsts have all prepara-

working class. The burning to death by cleo

The American bourgeoisie, faced on the one
hand with the greatest economic crisis in Its
history and on the other hand with the increas-
inc revolutionary militancy of the white and
Negro toilers is desperately trying to smash
their united front in their common struggle
against unemployment, wage cuts, rationaltza-
ton, bourgeois class justice and white terror.
The chief victims are the brutally oppressed and
exploited Negro toilng masses This is why d
new wave OF lynchings is sweeping over the Uni
ted States,
This terror is not enough to satisfy the Ne
graduating landlords and cotton-nliu barons OF
the South. They are more than ever determined
to burn to death these eight Negro boys the
youngest of whom is only Is years old and the
oldest, only 20 years. The death sentence still
hangs over these boys, the sons Of workers and
tenant-farmers while the representatives Of the
bourgeoisie-the State Supreme Court - "con-
slider the appeal
The object Of this execution, as Of the rising
class terror all over the United States, is to
strike their fear into the hearts of the toiling
masses, both white and black; to crush out their
organized protest against the active participa-
ton Of American capitalism in the imperialist
war already started in the Far East and in the
preparations for military intervention against
the Soviet Union.
These continued outrages against the toiling
masses and the Negroes in the United States
have resulted in worldwide wave Of indignant
protest and burning condemnation among the
oF of
other country. In the face Of the open hostility
and attacks of the ultra-reactionary American
Federation of Labor, the social-fascists, the Me-
gro refornist National Association for the Adj
vancement of Colored People and the Universal
Negro Improvement Association (Ciarvey) which
are effectively supporting this frameup, the
workers of the whole world have already raised
their protest under the leadership of the In
ternational Red Aid, the International Trade
Union Committee Of Negro Workers and other
revolutionary organizations.

Of the bourgeois courts. We have not forgotten

"The American taxpayer is
