KAMENZ, Germany, Sept. @
Local police of this little Saxon
town, who year in and year out
generally deal with no greater
crimes than petty robberies, to
day were drawn into one of the
greatest crimes of modern history
when the New York police asked
for all available information on
the background of Bruno Richard
Hauptmann.
Once a problem to Kamenz po
lice as a house robber and jail
breaker, Hauptmann put the town
on the map with his arrest in New
York as the receiver of the ran
som abortively paid for the re
covery of the kidnapped and mur
dered Lindbergh baby.
The request of New York au
thorities for Hauptmann's history

Thursday, came only today, Inter

LOS ANGELES, Sept. % G.NSD
A badly perplexed housewife to-
day was frantically searching
through her home for scrap Of
paper containing the handwriting
of Bruno Hauptmann, held in
New York as a suspect in the
Lindbergh kidnapping case.
The woman is Mrs. Emma
Gloeckner, older sister and only
blood relative of Hauptmann in
the United States.
After hours of questioning yes

agents, Mrs. Gloeckner emphat-
ically declaring her belief in
Hauptmann's innocence and
pledged every aid in helping to
clear up the case.
It was this pledge that started
her search for a scrap Of paper
with the brothers writing upon it.
Mrs. Gloeckner, the mother of
a 19-year-old daughter, declared
she had seen Hauptmann only
once since coming to this country,
and that was in 1881 when he
came to Los Angeles with his
bride.

LEIPZIG, Sept. % GN.S0.
Buried in his grave for many
months, Isidore Fisch stepped
back into the world limelight in
connection with the Lindbergh
case today when investigation re-
vealed that although he went to
America as a poor emigrant in
1925, he was able by 1882 to sup
port members of his family in
lavish style with money from the
United States.
At the same time, his family
disclosed to International News
Service that. FiSch was well
acquainted with Bruno Richard
Iauptmann, held as receiver OF
the Lindbergh ransom, who has
told police he received it from
Fisch and cached it in his Bronx
garage.
Fathers Story
It was Solomon Fisch, the dead
mans aged father, and the only
one of the family who failed to
profit by Fisch's sudden luxury in
the United States, who told the
story which so dramatically threw
his son into the spotlight. He
said:
81 remember that on several
occasions my son received let
terS from man named Haupt-
mann in the United States, but
I am not aware of their con-
tents.
with a friend, Henry UhIig,
who lived in Leipzig, IsidOre
emigrated to the United States
on September 8, 1925, to work
with furrierS in New York. He
made good money. He and Mr..
Uhlig were loyal to each other,
but the latter did not like
ISidOre'S Jewish friends in the
Bronx, with whom he had
strong relations.
AIDED HIS FAMILY
From 1892 on, Isidore sup
ported his brother, Pinkus, and
his sister, Hannah, with large
amounts of money from Amer
lea.
This enabled Hannah to fur
niSh q new three-rOOm apart
ment and PinkuS to move from
his obscure and small fur shop
in the GOldhahngasse to the
Brughl, the headquarters of the
worlds fur traders in leipzig,
where he now has a big eStab-
hShment.
"Hannah and PinkuS have
thus been able to live very.much
differently than before.
Gas for me, ISidOre never did
anything for me except give me
q very small amount of money.
/ am living in poverty except
for the poor relief I receive.
"In December, 1888, Isidore
came back to visit us with
Henry UhIig. IsidOre was death
ly sick, and finally died of con-
sumption in March, 1884, of this
year.
''But my boy had plenty of
money. He could afford the
best physicians"
Henry Uhlig's mother. also in
terviewed by International News
Service, disclosed that prior to
Fisch's death the latter turned
over to Henry full power of at

DRIVE NEARS
SUCCESSFUL END

Last week the committee in
charge of the Daily Worker Ma
tional Training School Drive took
stock Of the situation and discovered
that with only three weeks to go
there was still half Of the quota
to be filled. The committee fur
ther discovered that collections of
$3.50 a week would be needed to full
fill the quota of $500 to which the
students Of the School had pledged
themselves. The committee imrne-
diately started what it called an
''intensiflcstion campaign" Com
rade Barnes, the chairman of the
committee, visited every classroom
and made a special appeal to the
students and instructors. The
School responded by collecting the
necessary $3.50 for the week, max
ing the total over $1,000.
The drive is playing a very inn
portant and serious part in the stu
dents school life. There is hardly
class that hasn't challenged or

International Issues
Corrected Translation
OF Great Lenin Classic

IN The Proletarian Revolution and
Renegade Kautsky." Lenin devotes
special attention to "the root content
Of the proletarian revolution, name
ly the dictatorship of the prole-
tariat." The Importance of this base
of revolutionary theory and prsc-
tise is categorically set forth by
Lenin in his opening paragraph:
"One may say without fear Of ex-
aggeration that this is the most
important problem of the entire
proletarian class struggle. Hence it
is necessary to deal with it with
particular attention"
Lenin's great work, out Of print
some years and now available in
new and correct translation based
upon definitiye texts supplied by the
Marx Engels-Lenin Institute and
just off the press of International
Publishers, is a direct continuation
Of his classic examination Of bour-
geois democracy and the dictator
ship of the proletariat in state and
Revolution"
THE Proletarian Revolution and
Renegade Kautsky" is a brilliant
polenlic against the counter-revolu-
tionary views which Kautsky had
formulated in his book 'The Die
tatorship Of the Proletariat," pub
lished in 1918. Kautsky had tried to
show, in Lenin's words. that "the
antithesiS between the two socialist
trends lie, the Bolsheviks and non
Bolsheviks) is the antithesis be-
tween two radically different
methods: the democratic and the
dictstorial"
Denouncing this approach as a
"monstrous theoretical confusion,
such a complete remuneration of
Marxism that Kautsky may be said
to have far excelled Bernstein"
Lenin shows that "the question of
the dictatorship of the proletariat
is the question of the relation be-
tween the proletarian state and
bourgeois rule, between proletarian
democracy and bourgeois demoe-
racy."
The Importance of this latest
English translation of a feminist
classic is indicated in the introduc-
tory note by the -Engels- Lenin
Institute:
This book assumes special signi-
ficance in the present situation,
when the development of faScism in
the capitalist world confronts the
proletariat more sharply every day
with the necessity of choosing be-
tween bourgeois democracy which
leads to fascism and proletarian die
tatorship which establishes prole-
tartan democracy"

New Guild of W.LR.
Promotes Neighborhood
Cultural Activities

NEW YORK-To facilitate the
growth and development of the Gull
tural activity which the Workers
International Relief has initiated
and Is intensifying, an economic
arm known as the New Guild has
been organized.
The objective of the New Guild
is the building of large subscrip-
ton audience as a basis for sus-
tanning fund to help support its
individual sections in their differ
ef1t undertakings and speed the
progress of new neighborhood work.
The response to such neighborhood
work already in existence is proof
that 1t is q most effective method
for drawing outsiders into mass or
ganisations.
The forming of Dance Group,
for instance, with a small nucleus,
in any part of the city soon draws
in many Indifferent workers from
the neighborhood. Later an Art
Glass is added, attracting still more
such workers and thus a WIR
Branch is established where it was
impossible to gain foothold before.
The indifferent workers become
WIR enthusiasts.
However, the groups do not be-
come self-supporting overnight. The
problem of funds and guiding
forces retards the development of
broad cultural front, Now, with
the material assistance which the
New Guild will provide, the spread
Of such activity is practically limit
less.
A New Guild subscription is soc,
emitting one to 20 per cent dis
count on all productions performed
by any of it's member sections or its
own affairs. The sections comprising
the New Guild are: Workers Lab.
Theatre, Film and Photo League,
Social Repertory Theatre, WIR.
Band, Workers Film, Workers Art
School, Dance Section, Dramatic
Section.
A monthly bulletin will be sent
to members informing them of
progress of new neighborhood work
group, local and national WIR cul-
tural news of interest in general.
