By EDWARD JAMES

Correspondent in Germany for the
British Daily Worker
The three articles previously
published told Of the Social Dem
ocrstic leaders treachery, the
burning of the Reichstag, and how
the German workers fought the
Nazi terror.
1t was not long before fearful re-
porst began to circulate concerning
the fate of the workers taken at
night from their beds. The relatives
of those men who had been kid
mapped in this fashion we're frantic
with anxiety.
Half a dozen comrades known to
me had been carried off in this fash
ion, and I did my best to discover
their whereabouts and their fate 1t
was no easy task.
The police would shrug their
shoulders. The Press published de-
malls AT the utmost the authorities
admitted "a few isolated excuses"
The nearest relative of these men
could say nothing more than that
they had been taken off in the night
TO an unknown destination.
] must confess that many of the
stories were so frightful that l hesi-
tated TO believe them The plain
accounts of what happened TO the
men in the Nazi barracks are such
that a civilized person living in a
civilized country would not be pre-
pared to believe them
Under Cover OF Night
And yet they we're and are true.
What is happening under cover Of
night in the towns and countryside
of Germany is more terrible than
the news which can be obtained
about it.
1t was a few days after the cleo
ton that the first concrete case
came to my notice. 1t concerned
an elderly comrade, whom shall
call Braun. That is not his name.
I have in my possession the real
name, the address, the time, dates
and places.
Braun is still alive, although for
a time his life was despaired of. and
for this reason, and because of a
solemn promise I made to his family,
I cannot give any details which
would perhaps assist the Nazis to
track him down and maltreat him
again.

PHILADELPHIA, June 20. = The

trioteer, never attained any rank
higher than private in the U. S. army
and USING. When he came to this
city, he styled himself a captain so
as to make a show while organizing
his Khaki Shirts of America.
This band of brutes who arm them
selves with two sizes of ferocious-
looking clubs, some of which are
made of metal are nothing more
than glorifed shirt-selling racket
for the exclusive profit of one Art

or get expelled. When Smith came
here he announced that the KS.A.

he Joined the Communist Party. In
the neighborhood he was known to
everyone, Of course, as an active
Communist. one of those who form
the basis of the revolutionary move

The Nazis knew him, too And
one evening they came for him. They
broke into his little fiat and dragged
him out of bed. They beat him up

children, he ped foul abuse on him
and on his family.
They knocked down the wife when
she attempted to cling to her hus-
band, already dazed and bleeding,
and carried him off.
Dads Come Back
For about ten days we heard moth
ing of him, The police were max
ing inquiries" they said And then
early one morning I was awakened
by a ringing at my door. 1t was his
12-year-old daughter, a young pio-
neer She was white faced and
frightened - but courageous.

Come along
I hmriedly dressed and went off
with her, but I noticed that she was
not going in the direction Of her

When we got there saw what she
meant In the hall was a small
group Of comrades, most of whom
knew, and on the floor was a heap
Of bloody clothes, a shirt with its
front as stiff as a board with dried
blood, bloody Undertaking and big
hobnailed boots into which the blood
had trickled.
The door of the little bathroom
was half open. Con1rade Braun had
returned. A doctor, a member OF
the Communist Party, and two wo-
men were washing him in warm
water in the bath.
The doctor told me afterwards
that it was a mystery to him how
Braun had ever managed to drag
himself through the streets. A de-
cent taxi-driver had taken him, re-
spite his state. and they had put
newspapers on the cushions in an eff
fort to avoid bloodstains,

man being in that condition His
body was covered with bruises and
wounds. HIS face had been heaten

who later figured in the Socialist
Party, eventually turning Social
patriot during the war and ending
as an arch-imperialist They were

struggles of the workers, most Of them
immigrants exploited in sweatShops
under the worst conditions. She was
staunch champion of the struggles
of the Negro masses for liberation,
and in her burned a passionate ha-

For short time she fell under the
influence of the opportunist leader

TRACK RECORDS OF
RED SPORT INTERN'L

The outdoor track and field sea-
son has been officially opened all
over the world. Bourgeois and work
ers' sport organizations are activiz-
ing their members for the coming
national competitions. From the REQ
Sport International comes the glad
tidings that marked improvements
have been made in these activities
amongst the worker athletes of many
countries.
Germany, where the worker sport
movement has attained gigantic pro-
portions has had marked improve
ment in l3 branches of these ath-
letics. In several cases it has even
surpassed the performances of Soviet
athletes and made international
records.
Ranking next 20 Germany in the
line Of achievements is Norwa,,
which, estimates show, records i'm
proyement in nine branches of track
and field sports After these two
come France showing a slight inn
provement, CzechosloYsks, 5witzcr-
land, Sweden and the United States.
The United States in the past
few years has shown little increase
in the cslibre Of its performance, as
far as the International records
show. This is partly because of the
lsxity in sending in records to the
r. S. T.
Criticize Recordjn~
The r. S. I. critici2es various
worker sport organizations in its re-
port, on the laxity they have shown
in recording the results of their
track and field meets. Both Sweden
ard America have failed to send any
message to alter the assumption that
their previous records remain I'M
broken France has already COM
piled q table of results as have in

that we will shortly be enabled to

Those have been ground to powder
by the millStones Of history. What
are you driving towards, you gentle
men with seven million unemployed,
with a dying industry, with an eco
nomy which is falling to pieces? Is
it possible that Fascist Germany has
forgotten the shameful end of their
attempt to seize the Soviet Ukraine
in 1918 when our country was much
weaker? Hugenberg might attempt
TO figure out what will happen now
when our country is making such
gigantic strides forward and become
invincible, an impregnable fortress
Of Socialism!
These shameless gentlemen must
remember our power and knowledge
that our country knows how to de-
fend itself and to strike those who
talk and dream about izing Soviet
territory

the Fascist schemes for the seizure
Of Soviet territory, The editorial
says in part:
The memorandum which speaks
openly of the adventurist foreign
policy of fsscism in no way differs
from similar declarations which
have been made frequently by var
ious official representatives of pre-
sent day Germany. Every attempt
of the German delegation to dis
claim responsibility for the Hugen-
berg Memorandum must be rejected
The German fascists who have seized
power are trying to find way out
ct the critical situation in which
German imperialism finds itself
through expansion in the Eastern
direction

the others who have tried TO
turn the wheels of history.

JINGO DISPLAY TO

by Marine Worker Correspondent
BALTIMORE, Md. - There was
a regular war display at Pimlico
Park, at which the artillery forces
said good-by to the horse. Only a
little while ago the government had
six submarines and two tenders
alongside the Recreation Pier These
vessels have gone from here back to
the Canal Zone and then to the
Pacific Ocean for maneuvers. We
workers are given a line of what
these subs are not going to do, but
all any of us have to do is to chum
up with the seaGen on these ships

truth out Of the unfortunate work
ers that we're starved into joining
the United States Navy.
The army display, that the big
bugs were putting on was not out

in San Francisco in 1916, when Tom
Mooney was framed to life or death
in San Quentin Penitentiary. The
horses are only means of drawing
thousands Of unemployed workers to
this demonstration to jazz up their
patriotic spirit and to show the
workers the latest weapons for the
purpose of killing workers like them
selves, or to get the workers pre-

COMBINE
By GINO SINH

Age again put Youth in its
place in the District doubles ten
mis- finals yesterday and o hun
? dred or so spectators who have
passed the three decade mark
breathed a sigh of relief and salts
ton,
Tom Mangan and Alex Craven,
for well over a decade topnotch
tennis players, took the measure
Of Frank Shore and Tony Latona,
who started school just about the
time the two veterans began to
make their presence felt in ten
nisdom, 6-3, 81, @6, S6'
60, in a match repleted with
heart-breaking thrills for parti-
sans of both combinations.
Make Brilliant Returns
The elders in the gallery got the
FIRST big kick when Mangan and
Craven captured the first set,
with Craven Skittering all over
the court to blast back seemingly
impossible "gets," while his part
ner, just out of a gruelling battle
Cor the singles crown against
Dooly Mitchell, was trying to ad-
Just his doubles game.
The exhuberant Shore and La
tona then proceeded to set the
youthful half of the gallery'S
spine a-tingling and to overspread
the patriarchs' faces with gloom,
when with q superb all-around
game and smooth cooperation,
they socked the next two sets into
the old bag in such manner as to
make the ultimate results fore
gone conclusion. How could these
courageous but tired campaigners
hope to cope against the lightning
speed, and seemingly inexhaust-
ible energy Of the two Striplings,
reasoned the older watchers?
However, refreshed by Is min
utes' rest, Mangan and Craven
come back to take a 40 lead as
the youngsters couldn't get their
sights adjusted on the baseline
and net, especially with their op-
ponents using all the tennis tricks
In their bag.
Win Four Games in Row
Each team held their service in
the next two games, when sud-
denly Latona and Shore began to
click, taking four games in row,
to. reach all tie, both lads
using terrific volleys to salt away
important points.
The pace told heavily on their
reserve strength and the veterans
produced a deliberate, unhurrled
final squirt that won them the set,
and a great sigh rose from the
onlookers. It was one Of the most
spectacular sets seen in local COM
petition in many moons, all
agreed.
The deciding set was merely a
formality, as the supremely con-
fident veterans, still playing de-
1iberate, carefully judged game,
tr1umphed handily.

giles tennis championship after
seven years of trying by defeat
ing Mangan, 6-3. 3-6, 6-4, Ga.
The match had been carried over

Life to John H. Cowles is not
a one-track roadway. One path
which he has travelled for years
is filled with the activities and
emblems of MaSons. A second,
which he has trod during 80
years, contains the hazards and
greens of the golf course.
Mr.. Cowles, who is now en-
route to England to dedicate the
$5,000,000 Masonic Peace Me-
mortal, originated by the Duke
of Connaught, uncle of King
George, began playing golf three
decades ago, for three reasons.
He found that many Of his
friends had taken I'D golf: he
