Yankovitch’s death was followed Tuesday by the death of Benjamin De Noia, killed in Camp 22, near Peekskill, by a falling tree. This young worker told a member of the “Daily” staff how, following the general policy, George Cetriana, a thug, was put in a position of fore- man so that his strength and bru- tality could be used in cowing the boys and getting more work out of| them. It was this Cetriana that is said to have struck the blow that | killed Yankovitch. This policy of deliberate brutality existed in all dealings of the officials ‘and the boys. Stopping work for a few seconds to rest meant being put (kitchen duties) for 14 | hours a day for several days. Stark terror in the form of beating the boys also existed, he said. Captain Cunningham of the U, S. Marines, in charge of the camps, was the enforcer of this brutality, the young worker told. He refused to give the boys permission to return home, when they became exhausted from this brutality. When this young worker, himself, determined to leave, he was forced to escape from the camp boundaries on a pretext and get East as best he could—hitch-hik- ing and “hitting the freights.” He said that if it were not for the fact that he has relatives in Chicago, he could never have made the trip. He told that a forest ranger in the first town the boy landed in, who phoned the camp to ask if the Government wouldn't pay transportation for him, was told by Captain Cunningham, “Let him starve!” ‘The boys were not paid on time at the camp, the Daily Worker was told. Some got their money a week late and some not until the 15th of the month. The Captain and officers were paid on time, however, and ac- cording to incidents told by the boys, spent much of it on liquor. Medical attention was impossible to receive. Except when the camp doctor made one of his visits, the! nearest doctor was 350 miles away. The camp doctor himself refused medical attention to the boys. Three who were ruptured while doing the heavy camp work were told to get back to work and quit stalling. All boys complaining of sickness are told by the doctor to “Forget it,” the young worker stated. Adequate and sympathetic medical care is consist- ently refused. It is this general policy of brutality and terror that is responsible for the | death of Abraham Yankovitch and of others who have died from “unknown causes.” PROTEST TERZANT FRAME-UP IN [. 1.
