I thought this might interest you,” he wrote, “in view of your article in the February 10th issue on George Creel’s activity as director of the Committee on Public Information’ during the war.” p It surely does interest me, for this is what the press release announces: “NATIONAL RECOVERY ADMINISTRATION NATIONAL LABOR BOARD Release No. 3311 immediate Release February 15, 1974. LABOR BOARD SENDS CREEL TO IMPERIAL VALLEY, CALIF. ‘Warned of the threat of bloodshed and s generally menacing situ- atéon among agricultural laborers in the Imperial Valley in California, Senator Robert F. Wagner said today that the National Labor Board had requested George Creel, Chairman of the San Francisco Regional ‘Labor Board, to go to the Valley and cooperate with the Los Angeles Regional Board in attempting a settlement. Reports from the Los Angeles Board stated that local authorities declared that their hands were tied by a Federal injunction which prohibited interference with orderly gatherings, alleged to be ConfMu- nist meetings.

The name seemed familiar, but I just couldn't recall the face. Then ft all came back to me. Just before the war Zook—George F. Zook,‘ Ph.D.—was a modest professor of Modern European History at the Pennsylvania State College. Zook, it seems, was lent to Creel’s war-publicity committee by the institution, and he was put in charge of distribution of stereoptican slides fo churches, Y.M.C.A’s and similar institutions. Just to prove to you that there ‘is still opportunity for advancement for the «mbitious despite the disappearance of the frontier and free land, I might tell you that Dr. Zook is now United States Commissioner of ‘Yxtucation in the Roosevelt Administration! . . A South American On Dennis Dear Comrade Garlin: I read your two columns on Lawrence Dennis in the recent issue of the Daily Worker and in my opinion, it reveals not only Dennis’ dema- gogery, but also the tactics employed by Fascism generally.

One thinks of the illustrations to Dante’s Inferno, Rabelais’ book, and Milton’s P% ise Lost. But in the mighty book of Marx there is a world-view, whose sweep more than 5,000 years history, the class that, in already ushering in a new : Therefore, it is a tribute to the courage and earnestness of Gellert that he set himself the task of giv- ing revolutionary pictorial expression to the most revolutionary book in history.

Naturally, Gellert would be a superhuman genius if he solved them all at one stroke. I should say that in some cases Gellert faced the problem too closely from the point of view of giving a too|F literal representation of the text, in- stead of, what seems to me a more fruitful way, the comprehensive imaginative conceptions of Marx's epvch-making words, Also, one misses in some of the drawings, the many details of real- istic observation, necessary to enrich the imaginative power of drawings. | There is often abstraction, jns‘ead | of having detail built into a signi- ficant design. But Gellert has dared to blaze the way, to face the most difficult of jobs, and he calls upon others to follow him and better his example. He calls upon the revolutionary artists to give to the working class in pictures the enormously rich content that lies at hand in the works of Marx, Engels, Lenin and Stalin, This makes his book valuable, A College Gil Writes About Western Pennsylvania Miners, Describes Their Lives and Struggles in Small Camp, I WENT TO PIT COLLEGE By Lauren Gilfillan, The Viking Press. $2.50, Reviewed by EDWIN ROLFE | Te is an account by a young! Smith College graduate of a short period spent among the miners of | Pennsylvania. Unable to find a job in New York, possessing the vague and unformula.ed literary aspira- tions so common among young col- . | lege people who find most of the other professions closed to them, Miss Gilfillan hit upon the novel and for- tunate idea of spending her period of comparative penury among the striking and penniless miners of ‘Western. lvania. Our author does not tell us just why she went to Avelonia to study life in the raw; she ‘does not explain why coal strikers ‘interested her more than New York ; Dohemians. If she tossed a coin to decide the course of her slumming Led by National Miners Union an outsider even when she lived in their homes*and suffered their wants. Never, one feels in reading this book, did she forget for a moment that she was going to write a book about this experience. * E result is this uneven book— excellent in small .and irregular snatches, unconvincing and false in others. Her descriptions of Y. C. L. unit meetings, for example, are the most utterly absurd and fantastic bits of writing that this reviewer (who has attended several hundreds of such meetings) has ever come across. No less unreal and vague are her descriptions of the actual strug- gles—the picket lines and meetings. Miss Gilfillan is eveidently most at home when her material conveys merely the suggestion, the effect or implication of class struggle. She is decidedly insecure in her treatment of these struggles in their most naked and truest form. dyss ; for Perhaps one ought to forgive the only WS cota pendteaees ebacging and/| @uthor’s unconscious snobbery, her striking working-class community | failure to assimilate what she saw {such as Avelonfa could have given but did not feel—or, more precisely, meaning to her book. _ That her book does possess this meaning and significance is unde- niable. There are chapters of excel~ lent reportorial detail, of description of miners’ lives and living conditions | which approach some of the best workingclass journalism this reviewer | has read. There are other chapters made melodramatic and somewhat unreal by the author's too-evident attempt to fictionalize material too true to life to need literary re-cast- ing. Miss Gilfillan’s accounts of the home life of the miners are definitely the truest and most convincing we haye read, surpassing most similar attempts in revolutionary fiction or reportage. But the whole effect of “I Went to Pit College” is spoiled, loses dignity and power and sincerity, by the too- insistent otegi of the baer Into the narrative. Eee te val eos justified only if the author had met, these miners on a basis of equality. of complete understanding, of willing- ness‘ to merge her personality with the personality of Avelonia — and , then it would. not have been an in- trusion. But Miss Gilfillan’s approach on this score leaves much to be desired. She did not attempt to discard her; | her failure to transmit what she may | have felt to her readers. Her entire background is petty-bourgeois, and most of her life up to the noint where | = she left for Avelonia had been spent in a financially-uncertain but social- ly-quiescent middle class realm. One} can point out the defects of her book and at the same time recognize that these defects—a merely skin-deep perception of her characters in addi- tion to other faults already enumer- ated—are largely ideological. If Miss Gilfillan understood ax well ! as she writes, she would be capable of far more mature work. She has made a beginning. She needs now, having scen a representative chunk of the vroletarian world, only to shed her “cbove the battle” cloak to produce really vital reportage and} fiction.

In the Social- Democratic Party and in the trade union movement functions were given to him at an early age. When he entered military service he was In | already notorious as being one of the “Vaterlandslosen Gesellen” (a fellow without a country) and as a revolu- tionary social-democrat he was har- assed by Prussian militarism. After completing his military serv- ice, Ernst Thaelmann commenced to occupy higher functions in the labor movement, He became a member of the local council of the Transport Workers’ Union in Hamburg, later a delegate of the local c: of the Trade Unions.

As founder of the Trade Union Youth Section in Hamburg, Ernst Thaelmann is one of the founders of the youth sections of the trade unions, Against the desire and the resistance of the reformist bureau- cracy, he organized the ity of the young workers for complete self-de- termination within the free trade unions. Ernst Thaelmann and his circle of revolutionary youth at first mobilized 300 young workers, and later on 1,800 at the general meetings of the Transport Workezs’ Union in Hamburg. The reformist bureaucracy finally used the method of violent measures against this revolutionary youth section, : At very many Ernst.
