hand until the gold particles were
washed from the dirt.
When Pavlov became the new
boss of Dalstroy, he decided to
continue the gold-washing process
during the winter months as well.
The ground was thawed by steam,
and we hacked and pounded the
frozen particles of earth to break
them. up.
Horses Worked Less
NINETY per cent of the digging in
the gold mines was done by hu-
man labor. We had some horses
to haul the dirt away after it had
been washed. They were former
artillery horses, who had become
too sick or old for military duty.
The horses worked less and were
fed better than the human slaves,
but they seldom lasted more than
couple of years. After they died,
we ate them.
Much of whatever machinery
we used in Dalstroy was American
made, paid for by the very gold
we had dug from the ground. l

l2O, 900 newcomers arrived in

Only the hardest peasants sur
vived full term of penal servi-
tude in the gold mines. Our
working day began at five am,
when we were hauled out of bed in
pitch blackness. After receiving a
pound of bread apiece, our total
ration for the whole day, we stood
in line for roll call. and then were
marched to the mines.
We were allowed one hours
break at noon for a meal of thin
soup or cruel. But since that meant
walking back to camp we often
preferred to 60 without eating.
Work ended at six or seven, de-
pending on the whim of the guards.
The weak or sick who failed to
meet the days production quota
were required to go on working
throughout the night and con-
tinue all the following day without
food or rest. Even those who
completed their norm seldom aver
aged more than five or six hours
sleep a night.
Constantly Fosgy
i HE gold field where l worked
was called Tumany. The name
means "foggy," and in winter and
summer there was constant mist.
During the winter. we worked with
pick and shovel, uncovering the
upper stratum of gold-bearing
earth and piling it into wooden
sleds with runners These sleds
were hauled up out of the pit
by a mechanical winch, and
the dirt was dumped in a pile
until thawing weather. In the

abandoned it. In October, when
they took inventory, the excavator
could not be found. All districts
were checked without result. The
responsible official was tried and
sentenced to three years among
the men he had been ruling.
Next summer, some workers
found the machine buried in a
mound of earth. Little by little the
previous crews had dumped dirt
on it until it was completely COW
cred. l don't think they did it to
make trouble for the superintend-
ent; it was just carelessness. But
that didn't help the super. He still
had to finish his three-year term.
My most vivid memory, as l
look back now ON my years in
Dalstroy, is of being always
tired. l did not care much if l
lived or died. l only wanted to
sleep. My body was 50 numb that
I no longer felt the blows of the
guards. Pain did not mean any,
thing any more. There was no
capacity even for terror.
The Culpxits Were Shot
ONE day half-drunk NkVD
officer found some tin bowls on
the floor of our tent, brought there
by workers who had wanted to
prolong the pleasure of eating
their meager fare. He demanded in
a screaming voice who had stolen
them. When the culprits were
pointed out - there was no sense
of honor among the prisoners, and
a slave would betray his fellows
eagerly in hope of gaining favor
with the guards - the officer pulled
his revolver and opened fire. One
man was killed outright, another
one wounded, l was grazed by
stray bullet. remember feeling
little envious of the man who lay
dead.
There was no escape. To cross
the bleak uninhabited tundra
meant almost certain death.
If the pursuing police dogs did not
catch up with the prisoner and
tear him to pieces, he would perish
of starvation or cold. If a prisoner
tried to run away. three years were
added arbitrarily to his sentence;
five more were added for a second
attempt; after the third attempt
the culprit was shot.
In July of 1898, Pavlov es-
tablished special commissions of
NkVD to hold trials and sentence
the prisoners. Actually there were
no real trials; the accused were

God of hosts, shall be with you, as
ye have spoken. A Bible citation
from the lesson-sermon is: Acts
IT: "a, rs, %. God that made the
world and all things therein, see
ing that he is Lord of heaven and
earth, dwelleth not in temples
made with hands; Neither is wor-
shipped with mems hands, as
though he needed any thing, see
ing he giveth to all life, and
breath, and all things. +. For in
him we live, and move, and have
our being. A correlative passage
from the textbook "Science and
Health with Key to the Scriptures
by Mary Baker Eddy is: (p. 288).
The chief stones in the temple of
Christian Science are to be found
in the following postulates: that
Life is God, good, and not evil;
that. Soul is sinless, not to be
found in the body; that Spirit is
not, and cannot be, materialized;
that Life is not subject to death;
that the spiritual real man has no
birth, no material life, and no
death.

Marshall Plan Support
Urged by Eisenhower \ |
|Af Poor Richard Club
BY The Assoeioisd Press

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 17.--Gen
Eisenhower called today for sup
port Of the Marshall Plan and uni
versal military training In speech
accepting the Poor Richard Clubs
1913 Gold Medal Of Achievement
He contended that cooperation BY
the democracies may bring lasting
peace.
Speaking from q hoodlighted dais
before the huge statute OF Benja-
min Franklin in the Franklin In
stitute, the wartime supreme Allied
commander in Europe described aid
to other nations and preparedness
at home as the modern equivalent
Of the Poor Richard maxim "a
stitch in time saves nine"
Certainly Europe never made a
better investment that the money
1t sent, at Franklin's behest, to
help this struggling Nation" Gen.
Eisenhower said. Perhaps we in
our time, investing in the other di-
rection, can achieve some COM
parable result: That this peace we
have achieved at long last may
endure for all time"
The medal is presented annually
by the Poor Richard Club of Phila-
delphia as "a token Of its esteem

piano leg. She finished the piece,
q Chopin polonaise, first, however.
Concerts are full of such hazards,
according to the young woman, who
has been playing professionally
since she was 8. She now Is So.
Miss Jonas is very happy about
her new life in America, she said.
It was less than two years ago
when she first played here, resuming
a career that had been interrupted
by Imprisonment in a Nazi concen-
tration camp and the deaths Of most
of her family. including her parents.
Miss Jonas recently filed citizen
ship papers and intends to make
the United States her permanent

contemporary American citizens" "
The citation of Gen. Eisenhower
said he has "won the confidence,
respect and admiration Of millions
of fighting men and freedom-loving
people everywhere"
Recalling the stitch in time
maxim, Gen. Eisenhower said that
when our statesmen urge that we
spend few dollars to prevent war"
they are moved by the belief that
a dollar spent on the prevention OF
war is worth more than the nine
times nine spent on It's winning.
The soldier asks for stitch Of
raining in time so that there is
readiness to defend ourselves against
any form of aggression; to
train all our young men in peace
for defense in war Is more provi-
dent than to squander their lives
and their country's resources IN the
desperate haste of emergency meas
ures. If we do this stitch in time
we hope others will see our deter
mination to resist aggression.
He said in accepting the medal
that he believed Franklin would
have approved the award could

Eisenhower said. "have come back
