IOMRADE ENGDAHL'S loyalty and devotion to the task of organizing the working class and leading them in their strysgles toward the revolution was best exemplified in the last months of G mrade Engdahl’s life.

After mobilizing thru the I. L.

To Rally Vets for Bonus March. ‘The relief and bonus parade, which will start from Union Square at 11 a. m., will mark a high point in the struggles of the jobless veterans of this city. It will also serve to rally the ,ex-servicemen throughout the city ‘for the National Bonus March to Washington.

Other demands that will be pre- sented at City Hall Friday are: $10 weekly cash relief for all unemployed married velerans and $3 for each de- pendent, with no discrimination against Negroes; $1 per day for job- Jess single vets; the opening of ell tax-exempt institutions for single veterans to sleep in; the appropria- tion of at Jeast $10,000,000 for cash that he had im- personate a fed- ; eral officer in JOHN L. SPIVAK \order to photograph the torture of prisoners and obtain official records from the Georgia Prison Commission. Commissioner Stanely also charges that Spivak bribed a life-term pri- soner in Seminole County to pose for picture showing him being tortured. In a statement issued yesterday Spivak exposed the true character of this move. “Commissioner Stanley,” he said, “knows as well as I that 1 did not impersonate anyone in get- ting the photographs and documents of the atrocious tortures Georgia in- flicts upon its helpless prisoners. I have his own letter of introduction to prison camp wardens to prove it. His statement is merely an effart to divert public attention from the hor- rors that Georgian inflicts upon its prisoners. “Commissioner Stanley, instead of making vapid threats, would do well to’answer the official records of these tortures contained in “Georgia Nig- ger,” records which are only a few of the thousands gathering dust In his files. The documents and the pathetic letters of the prisoners themselves, telling of inhuman tor- tures, are the best answer to the Prison Commissioner's allegations. “As for bribing a convict in Sem- inole county—that charge is about as absurd as the one that I posed as a federal agent. Certainly I did not bribe Warden J. D. Williams of Early County, yet I photographed him in the act of breaking a prisoner on the Georgia rack—virtually pulling his arms out of their sockets. And I certainly did not supply the terrible spikes which I photographed riveted around another prisoner’s legs. Nor did I supply the iron collar that was locked around a helpless prisoner's neck in Muskogee County. “Comthissioner Stanely’s statement sounds to me too much like an ef- fort to escape the rising tide of pro~ * .
