Athens Workers Unfurl Red Flag During the celebrations in the Athens Stadium in which some ten thousand persons took part in connection with the centenary of the “freedom” of Greece, a worker unfurled a large red flag and shouted, “Down with imperialism!” just as the orchester played the Greek national anthem. At the same time a number of other workers began to distribute leaflets of the Greek Communist Party. The police made a number of arrests and 3 workers, including the man with the red flag, received 10 months imprisonment each plas 6 months deporta- tion.

It Stood eight to four for acquittal | when discharged, and the four who| wanted to convict the two needle | trades leaders were old reliables of the police department. . | fj The judge, in his charge to the rors, tried to give an impression | of impartiality, but when he warm- | ed up to the work, told the district | attorney that, “I am trying to help ou.” & “His honor,’ fs summed up the lies! @f the prosecution witnesses, and tried to smooth out their contradic- | tions. He referred to the witnesses for the defense as, “testifying lil lawyers.” He shouted out the ev dence against the workers, and al-| most whispered his instructions that] no political issues should be con- sidered. In summing up the case, Medallie, attorney for the defense, pointed out that the cop who was the chief wit- ness against the workers at the magistrate’s court when they were) arrested was not present, because he had been convicted for robbery! Several witnesses testified that Potash was not present at the scene of the fight, because he was with| them at the time it was supposed to have occurred. Winogradsky was called to the stand and testified that he was in the Lilac cafe, together with the manager, Handleman, with whom he is working. Both of them | went tg work together.

NIGARAGUA NOT YET CONQUERED Disciplined Fighters Recapture a Town Nicaraguan reports state that “bandits,” as revolutionary inde}en- dence fighters are always called by imperiali:!s, captured the town of Suina and U. S. Marines (which were “withdrawn” only in the news- papers) are being sent against them. These “bandits” are said by wit- nesses to number 350, well disci- plinedand well armed with new rifles end machine guns. They cleaned out the Yankee owned mine commis- sary of the Bonanza company, but—- differently than the Marines. they made no attacks ou the inhabitants and stopped ail beozing. The “president,” Moncada, elected by U. S. Marines before, has asked the Marines to “supervise” the next | election, “explaining” that he be- lieves in “free and fair elections.” Moncada, trying to be as hypocrit- ‘ical as Hoover is about “prosperity,” says—because nobody would know it otherwise—that he has “always ad- voeated and fought for liberty and democracy.” Which is rather rich. That being the case, Hoover is go- | ing to help him out by sending 300 soldiers and ten officers to “super- vise” the election. in front of 315 Seventh Ave. He has told several stories about the ex- act place where Potash and Wino- gradsky are supposed to have at- tacked him. that day. Gunman Forgets Name. Another gangster witness forgot his name and gave an alias other than the one he uses in this trial. He has a criminal record. On Wednesday the defense pre- sented a physician, Goodman, who was with Potash at the time Potash is supposed to have been assaulting the gangster. Other witnesses told of seeing the gangsters attacking workers, but Potash ‘and Winograd- sky were not even there. Others told of seeing Winogradsky in the Lilac cafeteria at the time.
