should help to fill the gap in the
American Marxist evaluation Of
contemporary science. On that
side which deals with theory your
column should counteract the
wild arbitrary conclusions which
ill-trained minds (incIudlng pro-
fessors and popular science writ
ers) are drawing from present day
laboratory data.

Escape from the Nazis!


often beating the prisoners Of the
west wing himself until they
tainted.
The "new line of action" at Son
nenburg was put into practice by
the transfer of the control of pris-
oners to the superintendent of the
hospital More than ever before
these prisoners who asked to be ad-
mitted into the hospital we're given
the forward march, up-down
treatment. Many of these
men had tuberculosis, kidney
trouble, or had been wounded in
the war.
One young prisoner was first
beaten until his head and Shout
ders were completely swollen.
Then they pulled out the hair on
both sides Of his head, leaving
only small tuft in the middle.
Around this they tied red hair
ribbon. Thus attired he was
forced to hop about until he
tainted from exhaustion, while
the Nazis roared with delight.
The new line of action" was
further carried out by close in
spection of the i'll and aged pris-
oners who had been exempted from
military service. Dozens of these
were obliged to participate in mill
tary drill with the others. A we'll
known physician. DR.. Erwin Muller,
had helped some of the sick pris-
oners to escape from the drills. This
reached the ears of Bruening. Not
long afterwards. this young man
was frightfully prosecuted because
he had dared to show signs Of
mercy.
A few days before we had seen
this merciful doctor. calm, cheerful,
in good health, administering to the
needs Of the other prisoners; then
we saw him being taken from the
cellar to the court to do his train
ing" His face was pale as wax;
one of his cheeks hung from the
bone like a lump of bleeding meat;
his throat was covered with red
and blue welts. After the usual race
around the courtyard in the crouch
ing position, the Nazis ordered him
to put his thumbs under his arm
pits and to sing, Poor little Hans
must go into the wide, wide world
alone" Hundreds of the other pris-
oners watched their faces crimson
with impotent fury.

stressed the fact that a general pc
tition had arrived from the citi-
zens of Sonnenburg, protesting
against the screams emanating
from the camp and the treatment
of respectable young girls by the
Nazis, who we're accustomed to beat
them on the street with dog straps.
This information was the ace in the
hand of Reschke with which he
hoped to secure authority in Son
nenburg.
We know from certain Nazi
sources, that due to the alarming
reports spread abroad, Hitler, Goe-
ring and Goebbels, were fully in
formed Of the occurrences in the
camp.
Conditions at the camp did not,
however, improve for the prisoners.
On the contrary, their treatment
became more and more severe.
Bruening retained all his authority,
and the prisoners were told that if
they divulged the slightest informa-
ton concerning the camp they
would be severely punished. There
was the strictest possible supervi-
sion, especially for the prisoners
who did work outside, such as
cleaning, farming, shopping, in or
der to avoid the possibility of I'M
censored letters passing through the
mail.
FOLLOWING the Jewish incident,
the supervisor of the hospital
proposed to the warden that every
prisoner who in the future attempt
ed to commit suicide be punished
with IA days hard arrest" Bruen-
ing accepted this proposition.
Bruening himself went to Berlin
this time to confer with Daluege,
a well-known Nazi and now chief
of police. Following this visit, he
intensified the torture of the pris-
oners at Sonnenburg. In a confer
ence with his staff Bruening ex-
planned to Hamnel, Hohner and his
aide Knochel that they were to act
more prudently in the future and
that nothing that took place at
Sonnenburg was to be made public.
After this. Hammel, repulsive in
dividual, with a face of degen-
crate or an executioner. increased
the length and the violence of the
tortures. He took particular pleas
ure in being present at the tortures.

Circuit Schools
A New Feature

A harder task presents itself in
solving the problem of Marxist-
Leninst education in the small cities
and towns. They lack teachers and
financial resources.
The problem of bringing revOlu-
tionary education to the workers
and small farmers can be solved by
the organization of circuit schools.
For this purpose, one comrade can
be routed in certain territory and
stay in each place from four to six
weeks. During this time, several
circles can be organized in one
larger city or in two or three
adjacent towns.
The expense should not be very
large, part of it can be betrayed
through the sale of literature. Small
contributions will cover the balance.
The Workers Schols in the larger
centers must take the initiative in
this work. The Party units and
sympathetic organizations m u S t
show more effort in this field of
work. Good results will undoubtedly
be achieved with the support of
every Party member and revolu-
tionary workers, and that support
can and must be gotten in the task
of raising the political level of all
militant workers.
The National Workers School in
New York Is organizing the first
circuit and is sending out an ex-
perienced cOmrade to carry on
this work in one of the Southern
districts.
A section in the South organ
lied a circuit school on its own
initiative during July and August,
with the help of the center.
The summer session at the Los
Angeles Workers School has begun.
At the end of the first week they
have 200 registrations. There are
two classes in party organization
and two in the fundamentals Of
Communism, one of each given in
the afternoon and one in the
evening.
At last after much agitation and
q serious, strenuous recruiting drive,
they have built up a good course
in trade unionism-
The class in Political Economy
and the one in State and Revolution
are very large. Many your people
are in the latter. The class in Pub
lie Speaking has attracted many,
largely because of the need for
speakers in the election campaign.
The school is sponsoring class
for the international Labor Defense
in Workers Self-Defense, AMI also
one for the League of Workers
Theatres in Workers Dramatics.
One encouraging thing is that
many of the old students have at
the completion of the first term, en-
rolled in new courses. They realize
the value of theoretical training
much more after they have become
students in the workers School.
Branch schools have also been
started, one for agricultural work
ers in the San Gabriel and San
Fernando Valleys; for the oil and
other workers in the Centinela
Valley, and for the seamen and
longshoremen in the harbor dis
trict.

Close Tie-Up Is Shown
With Wall Street
Financiers
By Labor Research Association

By Labor Research Association
CAPITALIST forces behind the
Y shipping interests Of the West
Coast, and opposing the present
strike with all their power, include
connections in the highest citadels
of Wall Street. The capitalists in
volved are among the most ruthless
in the country and are tied in with
exploiters in every part of the in
dustrial and financial world.
These big shots" in the camp
of finance capital are directing the
exploitation of workers not only
on the West Coast and on the docks
and ships of that region. They are
the very millionaires who draw
tribute from the low wages and
speed-up of the workers in count
less companies here in the East and
in the Middle West. The war they
now wage, with all the armed forces
of the state, against the workers
on the West Coast is, therefore, a
war against the workers in prac-
tically every state in this nation.
Here are some OF the outstanding
figures and companies in the labor
hating crew that is directing the
assault on the workers on the West
Coast. Only the main connection
of the leading shipping lords are
given in the following list:
Herbert Fleishhacker is generally
regarded as one of the leading fin
ance capitalists of the West Coast
and the man most responsible for
keeping Tom Mooney in prison. He
is one of the big three in the Dol
lar, Dawson, Fleishhacker combine,
which owns a half interest in the
United States Lines Co. of Nevada,
formed in 1881 to take over the U.
S. Lines jointly with the Roosevelt

interests. He is director of the
Anglo California National Bank Of
San Francisco. He is a director of
the Pacific Steamship Co. admiral
Line), is president of the Central
California Traction Co., director OF
the Columbia Steel Co., of the Pa
cific Portland Cement Co., and a
score of other companies.
Along with Herbert goes his
brother Mortimer Fleishhacker, d.
rector and chairman of the Anglo
California National Bank. Morti-
mer is a trustee in the Calamba
Sugar Estate Operating in the
Philippine islands, and director Of
the Pacific Steamship Co. The
powerful Standard OIL Co. of Cali
fo-nia owns a substantial interest
in the Fleishhacker' bank. They
are tied in through directorships
in the Crown-zellerbach Corp. and
the Crown Willamette Co., lumber
and paper corporations.
Kenneth d. Dawson, referred to
above, is president and director Of
the Pacific Atlantic Steamship Co.,
a host of other steamship COM
panies, and the Pacific-P Portland
Cement Co. He is a member of the
Dollar-Dawson-F leishhacker ON
bine.
Kermit Roosevelt, who is presi-
dent and director of the Roosevelt
Steamship Co. part of the Morgan
International Mercantile Marine),
is involved as a principal in what
Forbes Magazine calls gigantic
combination with the Dollar-Daw-
SON leishhacker group from the

directly the eastern capitalist hold
ings in this combination.

Why Television Waits for a
a Distant Future

TELEVISION is a typical ex-
1 ample Of how capitalism retards
chronological innovation. DR.. Lee
DeForest, the inventor of the radio
tube (by court decision) recently
pointed out that there has been
lot of talk that television is still
five years away. 1t is nothing of
the sort. 1t has been an engineer
ing possibility for some time and
now think it Is commercially pos
sible."
Television sets for home use
would have been on the market in
the last year or two, if the radio
and movie monopolists had not been
afraid that it would endanger their
capital investments. Now with the
slump in movie attendance, and the
present low prices Of radio equip
ment, the bankers, hope to sell
television sets at from 5000 to $3.50
(radios are selling from IS to $50
and exploit new and very profit
able field Of entertainment.
The search for profits also ex-
plains the automobile manufacture
er's sudden interest in streamlining.
the principles Of which were known
to engineers for over three decades.

DR.. KaSakof. who used to be an

October Revolution. In 1925 he
treating his first human patients.
After four years he was put in
charge of the endocrine section Of
the Moscow Research Institute, de-
spite the opposition Of certain Sec
tons of the medical profession. So
decisive were his results, that an
institute equipped with the most
modern apparatus and stated with
go physicians was established for
him.
Like a true scientist DR.. Kasakof
is very modest about his achieve
ments which he does not regard as
new or startling. He maintains
that he is merely applying known
facts in new way and on much
wider scale. Despite the reluctance
Of DR.. Kasakof to make claims for
his method, he seems to nave point
ed the way towards a revolutionary
method in medical treatment. He
has even treated successfully a rare
malady where the bones turn to
stone
In countries outside of the Soviet
Union, DR.. KaSakof would not have
been encouraged in the early stages
of his researches. He would not
have had all inner professional OBJ
stacles removed. There would have
been no money available for his
institute and his corps Of assistants.
And if by some miracle he could
have broken through all these OBJ
stacles, his method would have be-
come the exclusive property Of the
rich. In the Soviet Union, need
less to say, DR.. Kasakof's institute
and all Of medical science are dedi-
Gated to healing and helping all
