Jail ILD Appeals for Funds To Effect Release of Heroic Organizer ATLANTA, Ga., June 28.—Bond for the release of Angelo Herndon, pending appeal against sentence of 18 to 20 years on the chain gang, | has been set at $15,000 by Judge Lee B. Wyatt, who presided at the lynch trial at which the heroic young Ne- of Atlanta unem- ployed workers was given a virtual |death sentence for his working- class activities. The exorbitant bail was fixed by the judge at the suggestion of Rev. John Hudson, assistant solicitor. An urgent appeal for funds was issued today by the Southern Dis- trict of the ILD. The appeal points to the grave physical condi- tion of Herndon, as the result of nearly two years of torture in Ful- ton Towers Prison, and stresses the necessity of securing his release so he may receive much needed med- ical attention. Funds should be rushed to the National Office of the LL.D., Room 430, 80 East 11th St., New York City. Protests against the high bail and demands for the unconditional release of Herndon should also be sent to Governor Talmadge of Georgia, and Hudson, both at Atlanta. Harlem Vets | Fight For Relief, Release OfGraef, Thaelman NEW YORK. — The Veterans’ | Relief Committee of Post 2 of the Workers Ex-Servicemen’s League called for support of a mecting of the Communist Party, Friday night at 125th Street and Lenox Avenue, to protest against the Hit- ler Government attacks upon the German veterans and to demand full safety for Hugo Graef, Ger- man veteran leader and head of the I. A. C. ‘The meeting will demand the release of Thaelmann, leader of the German Communist Party, and fighter against oppression of the Negro people in Africa as well as leader of the many German workers’ demonstrations to free the Scottsboro boys, Tom Mooney and other class war prisoners. The meeting will also protest against the refusal of American firms to hire Negroes, against the discrimination against Negroes by the government and the firing Policy which is similar to the at- tacks being carried on against the Jewish people in Germany by the Hitler government. Sol Harper, member of the Ex- ecutive Committee of the Veteran National Rank and File Committee will be chairman. All workers, German, Jewish, white and Negro, are requested to attend the meet- ing and bring their friends. Frame Rape Against CCC Worker Flops After Wild Lynch Incitement SARANAC LAKE, N, Y., June 28. —After whipping up a frenzy of lynch sentiment in the boss press against Thomas Frederick Showers, 27-year-old C.C.C, worker, in con- nection with the killing of a 14-year-old school girl, authorities today retracted their first version that the girl, Cleo Tellstone, had been raped and subsequently mur- dered by Showers. District Attorney Harold W. Main yesterday admitted that Showers had not confessed to attacking the girl. Both Main and Capt. Broad- field, commander of Troop B, State Police, hinted that the girl was struck on a lonely country road by a truck driven by the C.C.C. worker. “There’s No More Room for Us,” Weeps Hamie Fish, Sr. PO SWIMMING, BOATING, Fish, Jr., agrees “It’s a Red Menace” at CAMP UNITY ‘Wingdale, New York BUT—Between Us, Comrades, There’s Swell WATER LO CLEVER VAUDEVILLE, ALL SPORTS, DANCING COME and SEE FOR YOURSELF!

F. of L. locals, as proved by the increased representation at this conference, is more significant because since the United Unemployment Insurance bureaucrats called another confer ence, at which high pressure bally- hoo for the Wagner Bill was pre- sented. The A. F. of L. Rank and File Committee, in a statement issued recently, stated: “Organized labor in Chicago is beginning to wake up and realize the paramount importance of a strong movement for social insur- ance, and is lining up behind the Workers’ Unemployment Insurance Bill. The rank and file in the local unions of Chicago know that they have nothing to expect from the Wagner Bill, and that the only hope for the millions of unemployed in the United States is a system of real unemployment and social in- | surance as proposed in the Workers’ Bill.” Negro Tenants in Bronx Court Today NEW YORK.—Two of the 14 Negro families ordered evicted from 1636-40 University Ave., by Negro-hating Bronx property own- ers, have been summoned to ap- pear today in Bronx Court, 161st St.. and Brook Ave. by Jacob Cohen, owner of the two build- ings.
