500 Pioneers Visit
KIM SoViet Ship
In N. Y. Harbor
By B. GORDON


MORE than 500 children got to-
wi gether at Pier 8, Brooklyn. to
see the Soviet ship Kim" last
Sunday. They came from all parts
Of the city, many of them from
the Bronx, paying double fare and
thus sacrificing their movies for the
week. They kept coming from early
morning till late in the afternoon.
They stood in line for hours, get
ting tired and hungry. But once
the children we're on the boat, it
was theirs.
Our ''tovarischi" took them
around in groups of thirty, showing
them the clean. comfortable rooms
in which they live; the Lenin Cor
ner, the wall papers and every
thing else that distinguishes a So
Wet ship from the rat-infested
freighters in which sailors of the
ca pitalist countries are compelled
30 live.
Some of the Pioneers ate the
tasty pieces of black Russian bread
that the sailors were distributing
and thought it was the most deli
cious bread they had ever eaten.
Having at their disposal only ciga-
retteS, the sailors gave them to the
children, vino wrapped them Up
carefully, to bring them as a gift
to their fathers and older brothers:
also to save them as souvenirs.
The comrades Of the Kim" were
most cordial and friendly to the
children. Almost every child re-
ceived an autograph. This in itself
was quite task. In general, it
was perhaps the hardest day the
Sovies tailors had put in since the
boat docked; however, as one sailor
remarked: Nothing is too hard for
our comrades"
For the children this was one of
the happiest experiences in their
lives. They snapped pictures of the
red flag waving; they carried away
memories of having seen and
spoken to Soviet comrades. When
the Pioneers left the ship. they
chalked up the sidewalks and build
ings of the Bush Terminal with the
words: Long Live the Soviet Ship
KIM"
The letters kim" represent
the Communist Youth Interna-
tiOnal.

In International of

National Festival

On the eve Of the National The
atre Festival, which opens in Chi
cago today, the International Union
of the Revolutionary Theatre with
headquarters in Moscow. has sent
the following message of greetings:
Dear Comrades:
The International Union Of the
Revolutionary Theatre sends the
warmest fraternal greetings to the
foremost detachment of revolution
airy art in the q. S. A.
The slogan "Art for the sake Of
Art" has been exposed by all the
historic events of recent times. The
bourgeoisie in all countries are mo-
bilizing their forces to turn the the
stre, cinema. music and literature
into the mouthpiece for militarist,
chauvinist, fascist propaganda.
Revolutionary art, which is the
result Of the development Of class
organizations in the U. S. A. has
succeeded in drawing to it's side
those masters who show by their art
that the only heir to the culture Of
the past Is the proletariat
The League of Workers Theatres
Of the U. S. A, in the short period
Of its existence, has grown into a
mass organization and has become
one of the most advanced detach-
ments of the international revolu-
tionary theatrical movement.
The National Theatre Festival
and Conference of the League Of
Workers Theatres to be held on
April 13-14-15 in Chicago will still
further strengthen your ranks and
encourage you for further creative
work and revolutionary struggle.
Greetings to those who carry class
revolutionary art to the masses!

there was not one man in the COM
pany who was not in touch with the
work Of our group. Almost all came
to know one another. They knew
who was the son of tenant, who
a merchant, who turner. etc. After
that we knew in detail with whom
to reason first so as to use him
later to recruit one or another fell
low; we knew whom to promote so
as afterwards to draw his fellow
townsmen together; we knew how
to put one corporal out of the group
and isolate him, how to use another (,
and we knew against which officer
in particular to direct the hatred
of the superior officers, etc.
Further, in the process of work
in the group, there appeared one
or two men who had rendered us
assistance. Afterwards we succeeded
in drawing these fellows into our
group and in organizing about them
a group of sympatl1izers.
Cd The anniversary of the 18th
of September just happened to fall
on q Sunday. When it was learned
that the soldiers were to be held
in camp on that day to attend po-
litical lessons, and that non appear
ance would be recorded, prepara-
tons began for struggle, aiming
to hamper the work of these classes
The regimental staff officers, hav-
ing noticed the general discomfort,
decided quickly to change the les
sons to Saturday evening. We were
taken aback but momentarily
changed our tactics and in the few
hours which remained were able
to talk it over with the fellows about
sabotage. We decided to sleep dur
ing the lessons. And so it came
about that while one part of the
auditorium kept their eyes slightly
open, the other slept and in this
manner the majority let the lecture
slip past the ears. This also an
noyed the officer, and he was
quickly washed out.
60 We succeeded in convincing
all that it was imperative to or
ganize the struggle, not only for
the special demands in connection
with the anniversary of the 18th
of September, with the holidays
and the maneuvers, but also for
the everyday demands of the SOL
diers; and in as much as they as
pired to this. as result of these
preliminary conversations, they de-
eided to create a society of the
friends of one-year soldiers. Lead
ers were elected

OUR friendship was not based on
v wine and women but on our
joint struggle for the demands of
workers and peasants in uniforms
All were informed that in Joint
struggle against the officers the So
ciety of Friends battles to win vari-
GUS demands such as, for example,
to put windows in the lavatories,
to secure larger quantity of boil
ing water for the laundry, to
lengthen the time for washing in
the bath, not to drive sick soldiers
to work by force.
Various grievances are brought to
light at the meetings of the So
ciety. Then, of course, all like one
in solidarity, we go to the officers
with the Complaints If previously
these requests were presented in an
unorganized manner, then at pres
ent an officially elected committee
steps forth with them. Upon our
return we report to the society or
the results. Close contacts are es-
tablished between the members Of
the society. Thus our soldiers com
mittee arose.
OF course, the society cannot
handle the complaints of all those
who are aroused and disconnected
Such have still remained, also, who
prefer the method of individual in.
fringement of discipline or isolated
tough escapades.
Although such kinds of discomfort
are also connected with our work
it is imperative to direct them into
organized channels. 1t is necessary
to make even pettiness starting
point for the society's struggle. The
reasons why We have not succeeded
in directing all discomfort into or
ganized channels is that we lack a
strong center, we lack a planned
distribution Of work (although we
have also had some experience in
mass work. and we lack preliminary
plans. 1t is imperative to attract
daring and active people to our
circle and thus to strengthen It or
ganically.

flame glowed upon the two men
as if something in their very
natures had decreed eternal en-
nifty between them. They stood
there, face to face, with tense,
level eyes. then quick footsteps
hurried down the long corridor
the night watchman laid a tele-
gram on Solon Lowell's desk.
Absently he tore it open, his
tired eyes fixed thoughtfully on
his son, then slowly they fell to
the yellow paper in his hand.
Cod" It was choking gasp

of the little room. Blindly Solon
Lowell rose, knotted fingers
clutching frantically at his COL

eyes, a moment ago so stern and
relentless, were suddenly help.
less and terror stricken. He stood
fighting for words, but only q
hoarse, inarticulate whisper
came, and with shaking hand
he thrust the message toward his
son.
CHAPTER 5
In quick alarm Dick stepped
forward. Swiftly he held the
telegram beneath the light and
read the blurred words: "Your
son, Bruce Lowell, was shot
and killed tonight near the
ranch. Murderer unknown. No
details. Barnes"
Silence. The bitter, final
silence of death itself. A sud-
den chill seemed to have crept
in upon them from the winter
night, and for a moment the
world went black before Dicks
eyes. This brother, this younger
brother of his, he who a few
months ago had left Dick with
a gay wave of the hand as he
rode out toward the desert.
And now he was lying on that
self-same desert, cold, lifeless.
and forever done. Convulsively
Lowell's hand crushed the pa.
per. Again the room reeled,
and his lips moved stiffly.
"Bruce!" The voice was
choked and changed. "Old
Bruce!"
Call the airport. I want a
plane and pilot ready in the
next half hour. Call the apart
ment. Have my bag packed
and sent down. I'm going back
to the ranch. Tell them to wire
ahead for connections - and
phone for a taxi"
A Pledge
1t may have been something
in Dicks voice that struck a re-
sponsive chord in the father,
for at those words Solon Lowell
rose to his feet and slowly
Strengthened, as if throwing off
some we'll nigh intolerable
burden.
you're flying West tonight,
Dick?"
Instantly the reply came.
"Tonight. Now"
And them"
''I'm going to get that killer"
The words, so quietly spoken,
seemed to echo, to linger in the
hushed room. They were a
pledge, those words. a pledge
to the dead, and as Sari and
Lowell looked into the unswerv-
ing eyes of the man before
them, they knew beyond the
shadow of any doubt that to
this task he would dedicate
himself until the end-what-
ever that end might be.

Here's what I want to talk
about. Read this last attack
from the Verde Times" We've
got to shut that newspaper up,
Nick. For months it has been
turning the people of Verde
against our work and we can't
afford to have a solid wall of
enmity built up against us. May
be we'd better buy the damned
thing, after ALL"
Dicks Find
To Dick only a confused, dull
murmur of the two mems words
came through the closed door
as he ran rapidly over the rec
ords that told of the birth and
progress of Sari's nd his
fathers plans. He thumbed the
papers impatiently, then studied
carefully a large map showing in
detail the proposed location OF
the irrigation ditch. On it were
notations of lands bought from
ranchers whom he knew, c.nd in
red figures the amount paid for
each. Once his lips hardened as
he scanned the pitably small
sums that had been given these
men for land whose possession
had meant years of unrelenting
battle against drought and kill
ing sun, against rustlers and the
eternal enmity of the desert.
But now Dicks eyes had
dropped to the desk. Attentively
he listened to the low, even
rumble of voices from the next
room, then very carefully, al
most without movement, his
body never changing position,
one hand moved slowly down
and pulled the desk drawer open
q few scant inches. He waited,
motionless, and again, with in
finite caution. the hand moved
slowly forward and drew out a
small packet of papers.
On top lay folded tracing, a
series If lines and figures, and
clipped beneath it, a torn letter.
At sight of the handwriting Dick
half rose with an involuntary
start. He read the few ScraWled
sentences on tn torn page, then
very carefully studied the trac-
ing, and in few moments had
rapidly copied the outline on a
sheet OF paper, checked it with
the original and, with infinite
caution. thrust it in his pocket.
For a time he sat there like
brooding, immoble statue, eyes
fixed intently on that torn letter
before him, then reaching for
ward, he took a pencil, wiped the
soft lead on his thumb. and
pressed a smudged imprint upon
the margin. At the result a
smile flickered on his lips.
Slowly and silently the drawer
closed.
Pushing back the mass Of
papers, Dick rose, and the eyes
that moment ago had been so
eager and alert were yelled again
in studied apathy. He pulled a
cigarette from his pocket, and
thrusting it in the corner of his
mouth, opened the door, then
crossed the room to where the
two men still sat.
Sari's eyes rose anxiously, but
the mans face was immobile as
a mask. Directly in front of him
Dick halted.
"Got a match. Nick?" he
asked suavely. and as Sari held
a match before him a slow smile
touched his lips. Somehow"
he drawled, II always seem to be
coming to you for light"
