When I took her in my arms, by far

A Chief O. Week

Zolotarev, alias Goldman, was
a man Of 40 and a checklist Of a
different order. His kind had be-
come more numerous in the
OGPU during the last few years.
He was always clean shaven,
washed and neatly dressed; his
hands were Scrupulously clean
and his manicured nails covered
with rose NAH polish. He spoke in
a high voice, in an effeminate un-
decided manner, was very polite,
and understood nothing Of bust
ness. But, as a matter of fact,
his system was good-he did not
interfere With the real workers in
his department.
During two months the supply
department had had several
chiefs. First, the engineer, Grin
stein, was replaced by Volkov. a
veritable idiot. He in turn was
replaced, by another checklist. then
third, and so on, at an average
rate of one chief a week. During
this game Of leap-frog the workers
of the department were busy pre-
pairing a supply plan for the penal
camps.
Penal camps, like all other in
StitutionS in the u. s. s. r., were
furnished their supplies directly
by Moscow, according to a plan
prepared in advance. The plan
was prepared in minute detail and
calculations were based on certain
quotas. For calculation purposes
the constantly varying number of
prisoners in the northern penal
camps in 1881 was estimated to
average $4,000 men.
The preparation of the plan for
food supplies was easy. It was
not 50 with the requirements Of

Architect Called

The architect with whom I had
spent my first days in KotlaS was
urgently called to Ust-SySolsk. He
was ordered to Kotlas at once by
river boat, and while en- route
he was to make a rough draft for
the construction of a settlement
to house the 300 administration
workers. A thousand prisoners Of
his own choosing were placed at
his disposal. He was ordered to
work day and night and to finich
the 10 buildings by the first Of
November. Tools and materials
were to be furnished him
promptly.
Nothing could daunt the archi-
tect. He readily guaranteed com;
pletion on time, but not the quail
ity Of construction. However, no
body was interested in the latter
and he went ahead full speed i'm
mediately upon receipt Of his in
Structions. All the local o:-ani
cations were ordered by the dis
trict OGPU to place all available
building materials at his disposal.
High-handed tactics were used to
secure the necessary timber. De-

100000 COnUicts

Just about this time the entire
organization of penal camps in
the U. S. s. r. took final form
The Administration Of Penal
Camps" had its seat in Moscow
and was headed by Hogan. He
was put in charge Of ell the
camps in Soviet Russia. At the
end of 1880 the prisoners mum
bered about 100000, but the or
ganization Of new camps pro,
gressed rapidly and in 1881 this
number was doubled.
It was a centralized organiZa.
tion Of the military type and the
camps were all managed direct
from Moscow. All the district ad-
miniStrationS were replicas in
miniature Of the Moscow head
office. Moscow transferred pris-
oners from one district to another
whenever necessity demanded and
supplies were distributed accord
ingly.
The fact that the oGPU system
was in imp I'tance second only to
the war department did not seem
to help the organization Of sup
ply. All goods were Of poor c'lal-
ity and sent with great delay.
Kogan'S appointment to the
high post coincided with the birth
Of grandoise plans for new con-
Struction in the north. It was de-
cided to begin building the rail-
road from Kotlass to KEN. which
had long been under considera-
ton. This new project caused the
railroad line already under con-
struction by our camp to lose all
Importance.
True to form, the Soviet govern
ment started on a new enterprise
before finishing the old. In con-
nection with the new project it
was decided to enlarge our camp
greatly, bring the number Of pris
onerS to a hundred thousand,
transfer the administration to
Kotlas, and recommence the ex-
ploitation Of timber in the Uftug
and Archangel districts.
It was easy to order the large
number of prisoners working in
the administration to be trans
ferred to Kotlas, but it was diff
ferent matter to find housing IA
cilities for them. But the OGPU
does not boast in vain that it
knows no obstacles. The main
thing was the decision, the details
would take care Of themselves.

More Typhus

In August, 1880, a fresh epi.
denic Of typhus broke out. In.
stead Of improving sanitary con.
ditions at the camps, the authori-
ties decided to shave the prison
erS' heads and bodies regardless
Of their sex or age. The order
was to be executed within three
days.
The work began. All the bar
bers were busy from morning till
night, clipping. lathering and
shaving. 1t was a simple pro
cedure. The prisoner entered the
room and stripped, whereupon he
was shaved clean. AS there were
no women BARRIERS, all women
prisoners were shaved by men.
Some peasant women bitterly re-
sisted the order, but nothing
helped.
They cried and they wept, but
in spite Of all remonStrances they
were dragged out Of the barracks,
had their clothes torn off them,
were lathered and shaved. The
Lett Ozol, who was the warden at
our work post, insisted that it was
his duty to be present at the shaw.
ing of women and told them not
to mind him as he was mot a
bourgeois"
The unfortunate priests wept as
they parted with their luxuriant
hair and boards. They exhorted
the commanders and sent them
petitions explaining that their re-
ligious order forbade them to cut
off their boards. It was to no
avail, all Of them were shaved
clean, and deprived of their marks
Of distinction from other pris-
oners.
At the end Of August there was
a sudden change In the personnel
Of our high command, by order
from Moscow. Boksha and Vas
kov were replaced by the former
commander Of the Vologda OGPU,
Sienkevicz, a carpenter by trade,
and by Shkele, formerly of the
secret intelligence service. At the
same time Zolotarev was ap-
pointed the new head Of the sup
ply department.

HOUSING ISSUE
GROWING BIG
International News Service


A prediction that the housing
problem" will become a major
political and economic issue was
made today by Catherine <.
Bauer, Of the PWA Labor Housing
Division.
Declaring that billions Of dol
lars'' will have to be poured into
housing projects within the next
10 years, Miss Bauer said:
"The serious shortage Of low
cost housing facilities in this
country will change the whole
nOliticaI and economic picture In
the next two years. 1t will be-
come Q major issue with pOlitt-
clans, economists and the
people.
Miss Bauer pointed to the wave
of interest created by President
RooSevelt's housing program, and
declared:
"This is only the beginning.
We have not yet scratched the
surface and the interest is al
ready quite general throughout
the country"
Miss Bauer said the Govern
rnent would have to build 14,0O0,-
600 lowcost houses in the next
10 years to provide decent"
homes for the low salaried class,
at the present rate Of increase
in families.
She foreSaw a 16 per cent in.
crease in the number Of families
by 1910 and another 13 per cent
increase between 1910 and 1850.

the technical department, consid-
ering the uncertainty as to what
construction work would be under
taken during the ensuing year.
After three weeks Of hard work
the detailed plan was ready. 1t
showed not only the rails, tools
and machinery required, but also
included sewing needles, lamp
wickS, ETC., giving their exact price
and the total amounts. The plan
was duly prepared and the sup
plies ordered, but neither I nor
any of my associates expected to
receive even the tenth part Of
them, as we knew the deplorable
condition of the home industries.
The plan was sent to Moscow and
earned praise from high quarters
which was later Of some service to
me. From that time on was an
invaluable" worker of the admin
istration, and my position was
much more secure. Indeed, but
very little is needed to deserve
commendation in the y. s. S. r.

All Prisoners
Ordered
Shaved
By GEORGE K1TCHIN
Chapter Xxx

Just about this time a popu-
lar prisoners song hit was
imported from the solovetsky
camp. The melody was sad
and each verse ended in the
refrain:
why should we hope?
Our lives are wholly
blasted,
And all of US are
damned by destiny!"
Whether it was because the
refrain expressed so faith
fully the mental condition Of
the prisoners or because Of
its strain touching the hunger
ing soul, the song spread like
wildfire over all the work
posts of the penal camps and
could be heard everywhere.
Perhaps the song had an
enervating effect, for just at
that time an epidemic of sui
cides struck the camps. It
was clearly a case Of psy.
Ghosts. The administration
was alarmed and issued or
ders forbidding prisoners to
sing that particular song, Of
tenders to be thrown in the
dungeon.
The watch at the barracks was
increased and loud1Speakers were
installed to divert prisoners
thoughts from sad reality. An
urgent order was sent to Moscow
for guitars, mandolins and balalai-
kas, which were then distributed
at the work posts.
