F.S.U. Organizer In White Plains Court Today at 9 O'clock
WHITE PLAINS, N. Y.-Frank Siegel, District Organizer of the F.S.U., who was arrested last week in White Plains on a trumped-up charge of showing slides without the license needed for such a showing, will be tried here today at 9 o'clock.
This charge was made, despite the fact that practically every church and club in White Plains operates such a machine, which is small and harmless and can be easily operated by a child of 3. The size of the film is from 2 to 3 feet.
The White Plains authorities are determined to prevent workers from learning about the conditions of the workers and peasants of the Soviet Union-especially now, in the midst of the dire unemployment and need in White Plains.
The F.S.U. will fight this case, which is a direct attack upon workers' rights.
