STRANDED BY STRIKES

The sporadic strikes against
the Nazi flag had left many
German Seamen stranded in
Antwerp. They were the mill
tants who had struck, and
who were subject TO immedi-
ate arrest if they returned to
German ports.
To me, and to the Comm
tern, they were welcome rein
forcements. Five of the most
talented l gathered into a
press committee" for the
publication of our new weekly
newspaper, which l named
Scheinwerfer -- The Search
light" The first edition Of
$1,000 was topped with the
challenge;
I'VE live, and we shall stay
alive"
Two days after its appear
ance the bulk of the edition
was already on the under

concealed in the coalbunkers
of ships 10 Bremen, Hamburg
and Stettin. and in the bellies
of barges going up the Rhine.

militants ! organized into

schooling circles where COM
radeS from the German ships
were instructed in the simple
technique of doing great
damage TO ships and cargoeS
with the fewest posi- lie
means.
A list of suggestions of
maritime sabotage technique

expert in the Western Secre-
