Another Altoona Hero
Makes Guard Pay AS
He Faces Axe

Karl Wolf, shemaker, stood be-
fore the axemen's block in Altoona,

with a sneer: "Have you any last
wish?"
eyes," answered Wolf. "I want
to give myself a good stretch"
The executioner grimly complied
with this simple wish. Wolf stretch
ed his arms to the full.
Then, with a smashing blow, he
drove his fist at the mouth of a
Storm Trooper, knocking out his
teeth.
This is how one of the four be-
headed Communists of Altoona
faced his executioners. Seventy
five political prisoners had been
brought to the scene of execution
to witness the judicial murder, and
it is from them that details of the
last moments of the four Commu-
mist heroes have been gathered by
the international Red Aid.
August Luetgens, the leader of
the four, marched to the block, and
just before his head rolled he
shouted:
81 die for the proletarian re-
volution."
Mother Learns of Death from
Radio
So did Bruno Tesch, the young
est, a 19-year old plumber.
The Nazis had not notified any
one of the date of the execution,
rightly fearing a tremendous re-
volutionary demonstration among
the workers Of Altoona. The mother
of Bruno Tesch was listening to
the radio, knowing nothing, when
suddenly the loudspeaker an
nounced that her son had been
murdered. She rushed into the
street, and SO women gathered
under her leadership and marched
through the streets, arousing the
workers. For days thereafter, in
Altoona and Hamburg, workers
gathered in crowds in the streets,
although dispersed again and again
by the police.

BY yERN SMITH.
Special to the DAILY WORKER


MOSCOW, Sept. 1s (By Cable) -
The reaping of the record Soviet
harvest is now completed in all
sections of the Soviet Union, ex-
cepting in some parts Of the Urals,
the far eastern regions of Siberia,
and the extreme north, due to nor
NAL differences of climate.
There has been an intensive cam
paign in the Soviet press and other
channels to hurry the threshing
and stacking to save all the grain
from the weather. 1t was reported
on Sept. 10 that nearly three-quar-
tiers of the grain was either stacked
or removed to shelter, and nearly
half of all that was reaped was
already threshed.
The winter sowing is also pro-
ceeding better than last year.

MILLIONS ARE HANDED OUT IN
 CAPITOL BILL
Twenty Star Drama Is Fea- ture Production
 Mostly Comedy

The average American has $997 ,O00 to go before he'll get his first million.
 That's the discovery of produc- CTS of If I Had a Million" twenty star drama which is at the Capi- tol, with a cast including Gary Cooper, George Raft. Wynne Gib- son, Charles Laughton, Jack Oak ie, Frances Dee, Charlie Ruggles, Alison Skipworth, w. c. Fields, Mary Roland, Roscoe Karns, May Robson, Gene Raymond, Lucien LittlefleId and Richard Bennett.
 According to the most recent fi- gures available, the average per capita wealth in the United States is in the neghborhood of $2,900, which means simply that every man, woman and child in the country would have that sum of money if all the dollars in the United States were put into one big pile, and divided evenly be- tween all the inhabitants.
 In If I Had a Million" how ever, all the fortune of an ec- centric millionaire is put in one pile, and then divided among nine persons whose names are sell ected at random from city di- rectory, with the result that each gets $1,000,O0O.
 The reactions of the various beneficiaries are as varied as are their characters And, as they proceed to spend their newly-ac- quired fortunes, the results develop in some cases upon comic lines; in others upon tragic lines; in some, romantic, in others, ironic lines.
