Heron Protests
Questioning By
Police Officers
Communist Leader Says It's At
tempt to Intimidate Him

William Heron, 524 Carroll
Ave-, Ramsey County Communist
party official, protested strongly
November 20, in a letter to Mayor
John McDonough against what he
called an attempt to intimidate him
by the St. Paul police department.
In his letter Heron says he was
visited by St. Paul city detective
on November %, at his home and
questioned about his personal af-
fairs, his membership in various
organizations and "what un-Amer-
lean and subversive organizations
were operating among the Negro
people in my neighborhood."
Heron said he was forced to
conclude that the detectives ques-
tioning rose out of the fact that he
was active in the Communist party.
William Heron has long been
active in st. Paul community life.
He is a World War veteran and
very outspoken where the rights of
the Negro are concerned. He was
the Communist party candidate for
lieutenant governor in the recent
state elections.

WORK OR
IN HAITI

WASHINGTON, Dec. 5.-(ANP)
Returning to this country after a
sojourn in Haiti, DR.. George E.
Simpson of Pennsylvania State col
lege reports it is all work or go to
jail there, and positively no loafng.
DR.. Simpson says a Haitian law
provides that peasant cultivate a
field or have a parent or guardian
look after him. If he has no field,
and if his father will not assume
responsibility, he is subject to ar
rest and possible interment for
three months.
Lazy men and romance don't
agree either, according to DIR,
Simpson. When a Haitian man pro-
poses to his girl, she asks two
questions, "Where is your field?"
and Are you a good wOrker?"
