All the efforts of the Nazis to discover the secret printing press on. which it is printed have so far failed. The latest issue, on the first page, calls on the German workers to de- fend the arrested Communists—three sentenced to death in Altona, two in Chemnitz, Ernst Thaelmann, facing | trial, and Torgler, Dimitroff, Popov, and Taney charged with burning the Reichstag.

Among other means proposed for raising money to send the two at- torneys, was that of a street cor- ner collection campaign in the city, which would bring the whole situa- tion forcibly to the public's atten- tion. Since Art Smith’s hooligan “Khaki Shirts” are allowed to make a public nuisance of themselves all over town without disturbance by the authorities, the sentiment at the meeting was strongly in favor of insising on tha city allowing the committee to collect funds publicly to fight Fascism. RADIO FANS A “Short-Wave Fan Club” is be- ing organized in New York City, of workers interested in getting Soviet programs on the radio. This Club will help amateur radio fans to tune in on the Soylet programs, and will get the English broadcasts from the Soviet Union published in advance in various working class papers.

The Nazis did not dare go out into the street again for several hours. Six armed anti-fagcists held up 207 Storm Troopers in another cafe, and got away with a booty of 16 revolvers. An attempt to storm a Nazi barracks, housing 60 Storm Troopers, was unsuccessful, but the anti-fascists were able to retire without loss.
