Ho tel Nitge d a iget
Dodges Snow Storms

BEACON, n. Y.--The jewellers of
cur small community "Nitgedaiget,
which means ME no care" did do a
little worrying in the last snow
storms.
When one stepped outside of the
Nitgedaiget Hotel doors, it looked as
if Nitgedaiget mountains were ap-
preaching one another with such
rage, that they will deyour each
other. Even the big Lenin mountain
looked up in the air with a readiness
to cover up and bury underneath
all the small Nitgedaigat mountains.
Sure enough those who were in
SIDE within the walls of the Nit
gedaigat Hotel reading a book from
the Nitgedaiget library, playing
chess or ping pong or dancing to the
tunes Of fine music or partaking In
a campers symposium on current
events or listening to a lecture given
by prominent speakers, did not be-
lieve what was really taking outside
of the Nitgedaiget Hotel doors.
Hotel Nitgedaiget stood its test and
faced the storm undauntedly.
Camp Nitgedaiget looks now like
a sphinx, bright snow is glittering
from its mountain tops, little
streams from the melting snow are
murmuring, coming down the hills
The air breaths the full fragrance
CT Spring. The sun warns overhead
ana coorers the faces OF the Nit
gada-get dwellers. It is good now in
Nitsedeiset.
Hotel Mtg adaiget is a workers rest
place and charges popular prices.

Slowly Killing
Angelo HerndOn
LID. Urges Immediate
Protest Actions to Save
Heroic Organizer

NEW YORK. - Angelo Herndon
militant young Negro organizer of
the unemployed, is in danger of
death from poisonous prison food in
Otlanta, Ga.
This was revealed in letters re-
ceived by the national office of the
International Labor Defense here,
which has sent out call for in
classification Of the campaign for
Herndon's freedom, on a nationwide
scale.
Health and Sight Endangered
Herndon, whose appeal from a
sentence of 10 to 20 years on the
changing for organizing whites and
Negroes in a successful fight for re-
lief, has been pending before the
state supreme court for more than
five months, is being Systematically
tortured in prison with the pur-
pose of killing him, the news re-
ceived by the I. L. D. reveals.
He sufferers from constant, vio-
lent pains in the stomach, and in
cessant vomiting caused by the
int0lerable prison food. He is con-
fined In the death-house, and for
good measure is periodically placed
in solitary confinement. The cell
singled out for him is immediately
below one with broken sewage, and
water and excrement constantly
drip on him.
Through his sickness, he Is
gradually losing the sight of both
eyes.
Protests from every part of the
country should be sent to the Georgia
State Supreme Court, Governor
Eugene Talmadge, the warden of
Fulton Towers, and the state prison
commission, all in Atlanta, demand
ing:
Immediate, unconditional, release
for Angelo Herndon.
Immediate action on the appeal
from his conviction.
That he be transferred to hospital
where he must receive the best me-
dical treatment, proper food, and the
care he needs,
The I. L. d. has also called for
contributions to be sent through the
prison relief department, Room 430,
so East 18th St., to insure that
proper food be obtained and sent
to him in jail.

Thus, the Roosevelt administra-
