Using his one case as an example,
DeJonge presented the problem Of
the foreign-born workers in Amer
lea, and told Of the extra hardships
confronting them. He told the
workers how he had come from
Holland to the United States
twenty-five years ago, and how ne
had had to undertake the most
laborious and distasteful work not
because he wanted to. but all for
eign-born workers were faced by
these conditions.
Il was denied the opportunity Of
education. Therefore had to be-

the steel mills, on the Great Lakes,
on the ocean, and for the railroads.
I am not an attorney. 1 am just a
worker. I am accused of unlawful
and felonious acts. Is it unlawful
to fight for relief? Is it unlawful to
fight for little children of the
working class to have the right to
go to school. adequately dressed,
adequately fed?
Ladies and Gentlemen of the
jury, you may convict DeJonge. I
am not the leader of the Commu-
mist Party. I am just a member.
You may convict me, but I tell you
that will not give up the fight
for my freedom. The workers will
fight for me, too. We will fight
this case to the Supreme Court of
the state and to the United States
Supreme Court if we have to.

"Do not think that the Commu-

the teachings of Lenin. They know
that it must be the wish Of the

prosecutor.

stated DeJonge. I'VE are on the
eve of another great imperialist
world slaughter. And fascism is
rearing its ugly head in the form of
vigilantes and of bands of raiders
practicing force and physical vio-
lence against the working class.
YES, ladies and gentlemen of
the jury, you may convict Dirk
DeJonge, but that will not stop the
growth of the Communist Party.
That cannot stop the rising tide of
the revolutionary proletariat. If you
send DeJonge to prison, you do not
sentence the Communist Party to
prison. The working class, the
revolutionary proletariat will go
marching on to victory"

THE program of revolutionary solo

the Civic Repertory Theatre, spon-
sored by the Workers Dance League
and New Theatre, was performed
to an enthusiastic overflow house.

And in the end, with their hopes
unfulhlled and their doubts over
coming their resistances. they movs
towards a Red union, he taking the
lead. and she following after him
because Of their love.
Bodenheim tells this story natur-
ally, and the gravitation Of his
characters towards a revolutionary
stand is enforced. and implicitly a
part Of their lives as he depicts
them In building up this story,
he surrounds it with a sympathetic
account of their love, the way they
are granted no privacy, and must
sit on park benches and meet the
curious glares Of strangers, and the
menacing stares of cops. Also, he
stresses the effects Of work and
fatigue on his characters, the way
it impels them towards a search for
er-stimulation, and for the forget
fitness that can be achieved in
drink, in sex, in quibbling quarrels.
IN A sense. the theme of this novel
: also recapitulates and reveals
something Of Bodenheim's own de-
velopment. In much of his earlier
work he blindly stabbed out IN the
expression of q resentment and ur-
channeIed bitterness which he felt,
end which he put into the mouths
Of various characters. At one stage
Of their career. his protagonists here
give voice to the same feelings. They
gravitate beyond them to a reyolu-
tionary position. Just as Bodenheim
reveals that he has. Thus he is
here able to establish the social
background to his story more firmly
than in some Of its predecessors.
And he does not force his endings
by needing in an attentuated sub
tlety. or by hammering over melo-
drama as in other novels Rather,
the denouement rides naturally out
Of the story and the authors view
point.
Bodenheim writes with ease. His
descriptions Of the work-worn
crowds flowing homeward over the
pavements. of the crowds in the
parks at night Of Union Square are
all done with effect. However, in
few descriptive passages Of pass
ing Importance, he relapses into an
old mannerism. in which he COM
bines anthropromorphism and gra-
tuity to produce q description that
is merely wordy: 1.-THE beginning Of
night in late March had subdued
GOODNESS, the reluctant compromise
between winter and spring with one
putting on its best front to say good
bye and the other diffidently ac-
ceptant, a meeting always robbed Of

ness, in any large. American city,
by a factor difficult to define in its
external contrasts and yet unmis-
takeable underneath"

feet of work and fatigue on various
characters, he relies on number
of explicit statements which beat
like a refrain, producing certain

 The champion showed that his earlier victory over Hennie Cies- lewski of Naugatuck was not pure 'ly mathematical, as his service and returns were like those of Bill Tilden. Ray Phaneuf umpired the match with Walter Geraghty, Ray Kiernan, Morris Stern and Bill Houston as linesmen.
