S. immigration authorities for the return inte their custody of Augustin Marti, prominent Central American revolutionary lead- er, who had been held in San Pedro, pending deportation until the sailing of the Venezuela on January 14th, The International Labor Defense claims that the immigration officers at San Pedro had consented to waive their dismissal of a writ of habeas corpus, and that when the immigra~ tion officer boarded the ship, an of- ficer refused to give Marti up, saying, “Now we've got him we're going to take him back to San Salvador,” Marti is a native of San Salvador, prominent in the revolutionury move + ment for many years. Imprisoned because of his activities in San Sa]- vador, he went on a hunger strike in Protest, continuing it until the authorities belieyed he might die. Fearing that stich a death would re- sult in sympathetic demonstrations, the San Salvador authorities deported him from his native land. He was refused admittance in Nicaragua and in Mexico, and when he was landed at’ San Pedro, U. S. immigration of- ficers arrested him there. The’ International Labor Defense has demanded for Marti the right of Political asylum in this country, and | when the’ immigration authorities who had previously delivered Marti to the Captain of the Venezuela at- tempted on a wriv of habeas corpus to secure him back, this was refused. He is now enroute, possibly to San} Salvador, or, acc-rding to the Inter- national Labor Defense, rossibly to STEAL MILLIONS | IN BANK OF US. But Steuer Covers Up Real Robbery oe NEW YORK.--What the Daily Worker published weeks ago, when | the Bank of the United States | crashed, is now dribbling through in a fake white- investigation | engineered by ee ase grafters, | through the criminal lawyer, Steuer, now going on, It is brought out that $37,498,290 in | fake loans was handed out, and that | most of this money can never be got- | ten back. The directors of the bank | themselves robbed the bank of $4,- 510,217 through “loans,” ‘The real story of the bank robbery, ; amounting to at least $10,000,000, will |never come out in this “investigation.” | Steuer, who is conducting the ques- | tioning of the bank officials, is a close friend of the bankers. He was bribed at the beginning by getting his $54,000 out of the bank after the | bank was closed, and when nearly 400,000 worker despositors were de- prived. of their savings. i What Steuer is keping quiet is the| \fact that “loans” and graft went to | | Tammany politicians and judges. For | | printing these facts, the Dally Worker | was accused of “wrecking banks / through rumors.” | MANY AFFAIRS 70 AID DAILY FUND | Many affairs are being held thru: \out the city this Saturday and Sun- |day for the building of the Daily | Worker, In Newark, the Women's Council has arranged an affair for St. All Newark workers are-invited.

A corps of doctors and nurses were mobilized to take care fo the demon- strators, The medical aid is one feature of the activity of the Workers Inter- national Relief, and a medical unit of doctors and nurses will accompany the Hunger Marchers to Albany on February 15.

Sections Must Help in Drive The call,of the Communist Party (Section 8) for help in the emergency collection of 3,000 signatures to pyt Fred G, Biedenkapp, Communist candidate in the Sth Congressional District, on the ballot by January 37 midnight, has resulted in an exeel- lent response thus far. The diffle culties of collection, however, are the biggest obstacle, and unless substan- tial help is received immediately from other Sections of the Communist Party and Young Communist League, and especially from the sympathizers and friends of the Party is Brown- sville and East New York, there is grave danger that we will be unable to reach the required number of sig- natures in time. The District Committee of the Par- ty has issued the instruction that i} Poo net members of the Communist Party in . Section 7 ara released from other ac- tivities until Tuesday, and that they are to report in the Section & heaq~ quarters, 105 Thatford Avenue, near Pitkin Ave. in Brownsville, nightly from 5 pan. to 9 p.m. on Saturday from] p.m. on end op Sunday {rem 9am. on.

Those who travel from New York or from other parts fo Brook- lyn should report te the latter head+ quarters, which is ngarest to the sig- nature collection tory. The special election was caused by the death fo a capitalist politician named O'Connell in East New York.
