children among them. The depor-
tees had luggage with them, some
of them as many as or suit
cases. However, after arrival this
luggage gradually began to disap-
pear. Evidently they were taken
by the guards and administrative
personnel while the deportees were
at work. Complaints against such
treatment were futile.
Approximately 270-2sO persons liv-
ed in each building. They slept in
wooden hunks four tiers high, and
were furnished with neither straw
or blankets. The buildings were IL
Illuminated with electricity, for the
deportees themselves obtained the
necessary coal. Both the men and
the women had to do the same
work, and the working day was IL
and even more hours long. The
work went on day and night, and
took place in mines, digging out
the wealth of Novaya Zemlya; ore,
coal, gold, etc. The work was very
hard, and the standards Of output
too high. Being carpenter, the
relator had to build AS wheelbar-
rows daily. This was almost i'm
possible, particularly in view OF
the fact that there was insufficient
food.
For failing to come up to the
set standard the bread ration was
reduced (from $50 grams to 1907.
If person failed to produce the
norm 8 times, he was throw half
clad into a cold cell, where the vic
tim usually died Of cold and hun
ger. Many people suffered from
accidents and were killed in the
Nmines, for above the mines the
wheelbarrows had to be pushed ov-
er narrow, icy trestles, where many
lost their footing and fell into the
deep gorges.
Without conducting any investi-
cation or examination, the local
administration also passed prison
sentences, usually up to Is years.

"WHITE HELL"
Authentic Testimony of an Escaped Baltic Prisoner
(Reprint from Latvian Information
Bulletin)

Reprint from Latvian Information
Bulletin)
THIS testimony has been SUBJ
mitted by a d Baltic citizen L., who
was deported to Novaya Zemlya is
land in the Arctic in March, 1941.
He lived in Novaya Zemlya until
August, 1941, when he was able to
leave it.
Novaya Zemlya is an island To-
Gated in the Arctic Ocean. Almost
uninterrupted winter reigns there,
and the temperature drops to 60
rs degrees below zero. There is
a heavy snowfall, and even in the
short summer months the snow does
not melt. There is no plant life,
and of animals only the polar bear
is to be found. However, the rivers
and lakes are rich in fish.
In July 1941 several transports of
deported persons began to arrive on
the island. Amongst them were
Latvians, Estonians,. Lithuanians,
Ukrainians of Bessarabia, Volga
Germans, Poles, Firms, Soviet citi-
zens, etc. The island was divided
into several zones, each zone be-
ing approximately 35 kilometers in
width. The prisoners lived in one
story brick buildings. The camp
areas were fenced in with barbed
wire, and each area had several
guard towers, where guards with
automatic weapons were constantly
on duty. They shot at everyone
who attempted to leave the area
without a permit.
In some zones there lived only
men, in others both men and wo-
men. If a larger number Of in
habitants died, the necessary mum.
Der of supplementary persons were
transferred from other zones. In
this manner one was able to piece
together from descriptions of in
dividual prisoners picture of life
in the neighboring zones, and rough
ly to estimate that altogether there
were about 100000 prisoners OF
the island, guarded by some 12,OO(
armed Red soldiers.
In July 1941 both men and wo
men arrived, but there were M

SPRINGFIELD NEWS By Oliver M. Buggs

In observance of Brotherhood week March 1923 the Dunbar Community League, an affili- ate of National Urban League, presented as a public relations feature a radio panel discus sion Sunday February 16 on station WSPR at 400 PM. The guest and participants on this program were the Rev. Albert B. Cleage, Pastor of St. Johns Congregational Church and Rabbi Naphtali Frishberg of Beth El Temple. MT. A.B. Mapp recently appointed Ex- ecutive Secretary of the Lea que acted as moderator.
 This program is in keeping with Race Relations Pro- grams of the Urban League and has been designed to give the participants opinion as to the position America holds in the problem of its minority groups. Rev. Cleage who has been in Springfield a compara- lively short time is known for his liberal attitudes in his dy- mamie approach to the minori- ty group problem. Rabbi Frishberg is widely known throughout New York and New Jersey, for his outstand- ing work in the field of race relations, as it involves reli- gious groups.
 This program is the first in a series. of public relations fea- lures that will be presented by the League in an effort to develop better understanding
