Death a Process. The process of death, a ling to the experiments, is active rather than passive; that is, it is a con- tinuous process in which different cells and tissues cling to life ionger han others. In testing this active process, the scientists point out that the fact that a dog’s head has been kept in a state of life after severing it from the bedy, proves that the brain retained life after the body was “dead” and only needed to be fed blood and air again to “awake.” The records at the institute show in detail how the artificial heart worked when attached to the s cred head of the dog. The experi- ment has been repeated several times before such scientists as Pro- fessor Fursikoff of the Brain Insti- | tute. The results have been re- ported in detail to the All-Union Cengr of Physiologists and have been published in scientific maga- zines here and in the Journal Du Physiologie in Paris. The experiment, however, is con- sidered as only the sma!) beginning jof the work, which aims to reveal \the laws of death. | Dr. Brukhanenko conducted the United Press correspondent to the laboratory and demonstrated the ap- paratus.

In the discussion, as in tie re- ports, great emphasis was laid upon the necessity of finally wiping out factionalism. At a time when the Party stands before great tasks of the war danger and the organization of the unorganized, strike move- ments, and the building up cf the new unions, factionalism is a deadly menace to the development of the movement and the accomplishment of these tasks. Class Struggle Sharpens. The Convention everywhere recog- nized the sharpening of the class struggle, the coming of big strug- gles indicated already by the strike on that basis recognized the need for TERROR HIT BY LABOR DEFENSE Urges Protest Against Torture of Rakosi An appeal to all class-conscious workers to protest against the con- tinued imprisonment and torture of Mathias Rakosi and the other vic- tims of the Hungarian white terror was issued last night by the New York District of the International Labor Defense thru @ Rose Baron. The appeal state: “The Mathias Rakosi and his comrades haye won their hunger strike their lives are still in danger, They are being kept in dark, ice- cold cells, they are being subjected to all the devices of torture per- fected by the murderous Horthy- Bethlem regime. “It was the organized protest of the workers of the world in 1 that saved the lifé of Rakosi who was on the verge of being condemned to death for the part he played in the Hungarian proletarian vevolu- tion in 1919. In that great mass protest the International Labor De- fense played a leading part. The York District mobilized the ers of this city in Occtober, 1925, in one of the biggest outdoor demonstrations held up to that time “Now Rakosi’s life and the lives jof his heroie comrades are again jin danger. A slow death by torture, ideath by starvation and disease has been decreed for them. Only the mass protest of the entire working- elass can force the hangmen’s gov- ernments of Hungary to free them.
