Deen thWarted IN its efforts
to have Herndon sent out to
the chain-gang that it has brought
its chain-gang tactics into Fulton
Tower. Every possible means Of
communication with Herndon from
the outside world is very uncertain.
His mail IS arbitrarily held up; he
receives nothing to read; his attor-
neys are not allowed to consult with
him as attorneys.
I asked Herndon whether he knew
of the tremendous May Day cele-
brations throughout the United
States. He stated: IT haven't read
word about May Day. They won't
let me have anything about it to
read"
Courage Firm Despite Increased
Torture
I also asked whether he had any
suggestions about how to improve
conditions for him in Jail. He re-
piled that every effort ought to be
intensified to establish a special
status for political prisoners. I think
that if delegation could be or
ganized to come here and visit me,
demanding that I be permitted to
read literature such as I want, it
would help a great deal"
Despite the increase of torture
against Herndon since the Supreme
Court ruling, he remains a sturdy,
rugged revolutionary leader. Only
twenty-one years old, he stands as
one Of the most remarkable leaders
Of the international working class
movement, a type that only the
working class could bring forth. His
courage grows daily. He is objective
to the most minute significance of
his imprisonment-never whimper-
ing, but always realizing that his
case is but the monstrouS attack of
the ruling landlords and industrial
lists Of the South on the Negro peo-
pies and the working class as
whole.

Some Summer MOOnshine

An example of the stupidity and
futihty that characterizes most Of
bourgeois social science is given by
a series of conclusions that DR.. Rex
ford B. Jersey Of the Wharton
School Of Finance and Commerce,
has reached with the aid Of the
latest social techniques. The pro-
lessor Studied" American and Ger
man workers and came to the fol-
lowing conclusions:
y The German worker Is more
concerned with financial" matters
than workers in the United States.
p The American worker derives
10 times more emotional stimulus
from the weather than he does from
politics.
81 Only 2 per cent Of the Ameri-
can workers emotional stimuli
come from economic problems.
Professor Georg wilhelm Won
Rutzlputzl, the eminent student Of
emotional stimuli, when confronted
with the professors findings re-
fused to be quoted, but was heard
to mutter-''H ooey'' ~ the sociology
ical phrase that he has coined for
all forms Of rIIbbledubble.

(COnolusion)
No outside visitors are allowed 10
see Herndon, although visiting Of
other prisoners is Unfortunately
permitted. Any day white visitors
are allowed to bring in packages to
white prisoners. A Negro once went
down to see Herndon on the "col-
ored visiting day" bu5 the iailer
told him: You'll have to come
after hours to see that niger Hern-
don," although it is very obvious
that if Negro visitor is not per-
mitted to visit during the regular
hours that he will not be admitted
after hours. Even when fruit is left
at the prison for Herndon, the
guards slice the bananas in halves
and crush the oranges under the
guise of preventing any weapons
from being smuggled into Herndon.
However, the effect of this practice
is to make the fruit unfit for use
when it reaches Herndon. Either
it is spoiled or too badly damaged.
THE terror against Herndon also

The Application of Science
to Social Problems

The United States is the land Of
the most highly developed tech
nology. But it Is also the land
where about so per cent Of the pop
ulation are now living at, or below,
minimum standard of health and
decency. In such a situation it is
important for the capitalists to run
down science, to claim that science
cannot be utilized to better the eco
nomic conditions Of workers and
farmers.
Bigshot scientists are drafted to
bolster these false contentious. Only
few days ago DR.. Irving Langrnuir,
winner of the 1892 Nobel prize in
chemistry (and one of the highly
paid experts of the General Elec-
trio Company told the graduating
students of Union College that SCI
entific methods cannot be applied
to our economic problems. He
claimed that in any economic cri-
sis, "the complexity Of the problem
is so great and the amount Of avail
able data is so meager that the value
of scientific method almost wholly
disappears DR.. Langmuir is TAX
ing refuge in the old bourgeois stall
about the lack of data and the COM
pleXity of social problems. AS a
matter of fact once the proletariat
sets up workers republic as in
the Soviet Union, the "insoluble"
social problem becomes smenable to
scientific treatment.
The building of Socialism implies
the application Of scientific plan
ming to society and its needs. Under
the Soviet system there is a COM
plexity" Of problems, but they are
all solved, because scientific method
is actually applied by the working
class to all its difficulties. 1t is
under capitalism that the value
Of scientific method disappears"
when it is applied to the social
scene by bourgeois experts. 1t dis
appears because scientific facts and
profits are incompatible. The app
plication of scientific. methods to So
cial problems. waits upon the real
ization of the victory Of the work.
ing class. To paraphrase Marx
just as the working class cannot
realize its final triumph without the
aid Of science, 50 the final realiza-
ton Of science awaits the victory OF
the proletarian revolution.

would bleed to death. This remark
able feat has been accomplished BY
Professor Serge Judine, head Of the
surgical service Of the great emer-
gency hospital Of Moscow - ths
Sklifsssovszy Institute. He has
made more than 100 blood trans
fusions from dead men to emer~
gency patients without any i'll re-
suits to the latter
Bleeding victims Of traffic acci-
dents and other emergencies were
brought to the institute in such
large numbers that the regular sup
ply Of blood from live donors was
not sufficient to save all Of them.
Professor Judine observed that
along with these patients the in
stitute's ambulances were bringing
in dead victims Of heart attacks and
accidents who had died on the way.
He hit upon the idea Of using the
blood Of the dead men to save the
living.
Careful study by his associates
ana himself showed that the blood
Of these dead people remained
germ-free and alive for eight hours
after death. It was found that tests
to determine the blood group and
tests for syphilitic infection could be
made until four tours after death.
On the basis Of these facts Profess
sor Judine's idea was applied to pas
tients all Of whom recovered With
out any unfavorable reactions.
The institute has now sysUema~
tized Professor Judine's discovery.
1t now collects blood from dead men
regularly for use in transfusions.
The blood is taken from the iugular
vein Of the dead man and stored in
large jars containing sodium citrate
solution to keep clots from appear
ing Tests for blood groups and
syphilis are made, and the blood is
then stored in a refrigerator at
nearly a freezing temperature. It
can stand two weeks Of such stor-
age and still be living and germ
free.

On the Scientific Front
in the U. S. S. R.

A young Soviet chemist, Basil
Sharkov, who is only 26 has re-
Gently perfected a method whereby
whole group of valuable sub
stances including synthetic rubber
can be produced from ordinary
sawdust.
In the Soviet Union synthetic
rubber is produced on a large scale
from alcohol. German scientists
had discovered a new and econom-
ical way OF. making alcohol which
the Soviet government endeavored
to buy for its rubber plants, but
the German chemical trust asked
a prohibitive price. In that Won
derful spirit that proves that no
task is too difficult for a Bolshevik,
young Sharkov solved the problem
and scored another victory for So
cialism. His process consists Of
treating saw dust with sulphuric
acid in the presence Of steam at
fairly high temperatures. This
produces a sugar which is then fer
mented to make alcohol, from which
in turn synthetic rubber is gotten.
Since he does not have the ad-
yantages of bourgeois ethics and
culture, Sharkoy did not monopolize
his discovery and sell it to a
whiskey trust or a rubber girdle
nornnanv He turned his discovery
over to the workers and peasants
who are utilizing it for the good
of everyone, and not to make prof
its for a few capitalists. Ten plants
are being built which will produce
100000 gallons of alcohol annually.
Most of the plants will be located
in Siberia where furniture and
other woodworking factories will be
established whose sawdust by
products will be utilized for Shar-
knv's rrnceSs

Death and Profits

People who are fond Of reaching
for high-powreed tablet every time
they have headaches are running the
risk of getting agranulOpenia - a
fatal bone marrow disease. Drs.
Roy R. Krackl and Francis r.
Parker of the Emory University
School of Medicine have conducted
experiments proving that certain
well-known headache remedies
bring on the fatal disease which
has caused over 300 deaths in the
United States in the past three
years. The headache remedies are
made from coal-tar derivatives
whose chemical structure is changed
in the stomach to quinone which
is the poisonous substance that
produces the bone marrow disease.
Agranulopenia, it has been found,
is twice as common among women
as among men. This is a significant
fact, since women use headache
remedies to relieve periodic pains
as well as headaches.

Nazi DIR. Rust

Nazi DIR. Rust
THE first official act of the Prus-
l sian Minister of Culture, DR..
Rust" was to double the reading
and lending fees Of the great Prus-
sian State Library in Berlin.
Shortly thereafter followed the
repeal of all those rules through
which the republican school au-
thorities had limited-though by no
means eliminated - corporal pun
ishment in the German schools.
Those articles of the German Con-
stitution which directed that youth
should be brought up in the spirit
of international friendship and Of
peace between peoples, have now
become mere platonic demands. In
sharp contrast to the binding form
in which these articles are framed,
observing them has brought with
it troubles of various sorts for
pacifist pedagogues.
The Rod and the Child
AN OFFICIAL article of the Nazi
"A party pointed out that in the
present situation, not the peda-
gogue of wide learning, but the
drill sergeant" was needed in the
schoolrooms Of Germany. From
then on the last remnants Of a
progressive pedagogy were stamped
out in Germany officially as well as
actually. The results of research in
child psychology were termed I'M
manly and sickly dwelling about
humanity. The application and OBJ
servation of the facts of psyche
analysis were termed crimes against
the soul of the child. And the OBJ
servance of the binding provisions
of the Constitution affecting edu-
cation, has become national treason
pure and simple. German schools
have become military barracks in
which youth is to be educated in the
spirit of the Nazi chauvinism, to be
made ready for the next World
War.
The bailiffs of the Third Reich by
no means omitted the modern ped
agogues from their prescription lists
the night after the Reichstag fire.
All teachers who at any time
drew down on themselves suspi-
cion of Marxist, pacifist, or even
liberal attitudes were ousted from
their posts under hurniliating cir
cumstances.
Thus, among others in the jails
of the Third Reich were incarcer-
ated two practical school reform
ers who, in their lives and profess
sions, had been travelling very de
ferent ways: the Berlin Superior
Director of Education (Oberstudi-
endirektor) and Social-Democrat
