(By Mail) —On the 19th of August the Czecho- Slovakian authorities arrested Com- vade Koblezh Elok, former member of the Central Committee of the Unitary Wood Workers’ Union, and leader of the Roumanian Communist Party. Koblezh, a bold fighter and an en- ergetic organizer of the Roumanian working class against the Roumanian landed nobility, had been a com- mander of a Red Battalion during the Hungarian proletarian dictatorship. After the defeat of the latter he re- turned to his native town in Transyl- vania, there working actively for the organization of Roumanian class trade unions and the foundation of the Roumanian Communist Party. He served prison sentences and fell into ~the clutches of the Roumanian secret police and the military courts several times. At last, however, his position became so desperate that he was forced to leave Roumania, and while crossing the frontier he was ar- rested in Czecho-Slovakia. Cooked-Up Charges. As soon as the secret police heard of his arrest agents were sent to Czecho-Slovakia to demand that he be given up. As, however, a treaty had been concluded between Rou- manian and Czecho-Slovakia with re- gard to the non-surrender of political refugees, the secret police cooked up a false accusation and demanded the surrender of Koblech as a criminal, accusing him of the murder of a SOVIET YOUTH IN TESTS SHOW NEW SOCIAL OUTLOOK Prefer Peasantry to} Banking in U.S. S.

A group of 19 young textile workers were given the same test. Peasants, Workers Rank High. The first ten professions selected by 72 of the younger children, most of them members of the Komsomol (Communist Society of Youth) were in the order of their choice: 1. peas- ant; 2, aviator; 3. member of the Cen- tral Executive Committee of the gov- ernment; 4. and 5. (tied) doctor and party worker; 6. civil engineer; 7. and 8 (also tied) professor and Commis- sar in the Red Army; 9. and 10. (tied) mechanic and coal miner. The lowest places, starting with the last, went to 45, minister; 44, prosperous business man; 43, manager of small factory; 42, banker; 41, small store- keeper; 40, coachman; 39, waiter; 38, owner of a store; 37, street-cleaner; 56, house porter.
