Hend-to-Hand Battle

BY noon the wide reaches of
the harbor resembled a battle
field. Communists reinforced by
Ia few hundred strikers waged a
hand TO hand battle with seamen
who refused to heed the Com
Imunist order. On three wharves
we cut the mooring lines of
ships, setting the vessels adrift
in the hope that they would
collide and block the channel to
navigation. -a .sa,4. ..ss~-

make arrests. Trucks filled with
prisoners rumbled toward the

boarded by special sabotage

the fires in the stokehold roared
their sirens for police assistance.
BY 3 o'clock 40 ships lay par.
alyzed, but. the police slowly
succeeded in pressing us out of
the harbor. Police barricaded
the entrances. At the Elbe tun-
mel stood a machine gun and a
sign:
"Stop-he who proceeds
will be shot"
Most Of the seamen who had
followed the Communist slogans
had lost their berths. and many
were In Jail. No one thought of

Which might seem a mys-

made more than so years ago.
Made in odd moments, after
his regular days work was
done. For there was some
thing in him that craved TO
create beauty. 1t was not
enough that he had devised
some of the first and finest
farming implements the West
had ever seen. There was a
hunger which tools did not
feed. So he made this table.

That hand was also symbol
OF his poverty. He'd caught

pennies in a poor mans
pocket for medical care. So
he tied the finger together

WHAT was he thinking as

No Sleep That Night

-
I did not sleep that night.
Between eleven and three my
brigade was busy painting strike
slogans in 6-foot letters on the
sides Of ships and quays. In
groups Of four men we went out
in Communicated rowboats, with
strips of burlap wrapped around
the oars to muffle the sounds of
rowing, and slipped from ship to
ship, from wharf TO wharf
smearing in white and red paint
the words:
"Strike for the right to live
decently. Strike! Strike!"
On some ships this slogan
reached almost from bow &c
stern.
In the dark of the night
across the oily harbor water
we could see other boats move
stealthily along the sides OF
sleeping ships. Ny companions
in the boat were lila Weiss, a
bold, sinewy Hungarian; Hans
Wonneberger, broad-framed
sailor; and a boy from the
Young Communist League

While painting in the Hansa
Docks, we were surprised by a
launch OF harbor police. Caught
in the beam of a searchlight we
rowed madly toward a ladder at
the end of the wharf. The young

The Nations Health

I can remember the time
when ice cream was strictly
Summer dish. The first plate
OF ice cream 7 ever had was
purchased in Wheeling, w. Va.
My father bought it for me
and had a plate himself. This
was an extremely hazardous
proceeding in those days be-
cause my grandfather, who was
a doctor and had a gray beard,
had pronounced that ice cream
was dangerous.
According to him, it cooled
the stomach 10 an unusual ex-
IRENE and drew the blood from
places where the blood was
more neede d than in the
stomach.
DIFFERENCE OF OPINION
This difference Of opinion
about the effect of ice cream be-
tween my father. who didn't
think there was any place in the
body that needed blood any
more than the stomach, and my
grandfather who represented
established opinion, was for long
the fate of the triumphal
progress of the popularity of ice
cream, which rode over all its
critics and has now established
itself as an article of diet which
has no seasonal favoritism.

Chased Into Hiding

Two minutes later the twit-
tering siren of police car
sounded ahead. We ran into the
shed and crawled into a stack
of concrete sewer pipes. When
all was quiet, we returned to
the city on separate routes.
lila Weiss is today the secre-
tary of the international Club
in Odessa, wanted by most Euro
pean police departments. Hans
Wonneberger made the mistake
of falling in love with girl who
turned out to be a secret agent
Of the Nazi Party in 1882. He
was abducted by the G. P. u.
to Novorossisk, and has since
disappeared in Soviet Russia.
At seven in the morning all
Party forces entered the harbor.
The gates and the ferry landings
were guarded by police. Com
munist military units engaged
the police to allow the mass of
agitators to penetrate the har.
Dor from all sides. We overran
the gangway guards and told
the seamen to strike or TO suffer
a strikebreaker's fate.
Other "activist" units were
working in a similar fashion
among the lockers gangs. An
officer who confronted the group
of lila Weiss with a pistol in his
hand was thrown into the har-
Dor. Columns of striking seamen
and unemployed workers mobil.
lied by the Party boarded the
ships to chase recalcitrant crews
ashore by main force. Trade
