U.S. PROTEST URGED ON SLAVERY BY REDS By James K. Anderson D etroiters of Ukrainian descent were appjealing to tjhe Uni(ted States and the United Nations to protest slave labor in the Soviet Union* Their feelings w ere made known in a resolution adopted in a m anifestation at the Ukrainian National Temple, 4655 M artin, de nouncing- the deaths last summer of 500 U krainian women in a Si berian slave labor camp in Kingir as they attem pted to repel an a r mored attack on the prison. The resolution, adopted by more than 1,000 representatives of D etroit branches of the Ukrainian Congress Committee, the U krain ian American Federation and the U krainian National W omen’s League, urged th at the U.S. in tercede in the defense of slave la borers in Soviet Russian prisons, and that the UN establish a spec ial com m ittee to investigate .So viet slave labor camps. Right of Free Choice Rep. Bentley (R-M ich.) said the U. S- policy of peaceful libera - ation of captive peoples applies to the non-Russian nationalities of the Soviet Union the same as it does to satellite nations com- munized since W orld W ar II. “The Ukrainians will have as much right as the Czechs or Poles or any other nation to choose freely the form of government they intend to live under after the day of liberation,” Bentley said. Hits Peace ‘Sham* This is an accepted policy of the State Departm ent, he said. Bentley, a member of the House Foreign Relations Committee and a form er m em ber of the House Committee on Soviet A g gression, said the change in So viet policies to exploit world hopes for peace is a “sham.” Mrs. Anastasia Volker, a mem ber of the U krainian National W om en’s League branch 37, said the deaths of the 500 women were “one of the profoundest examples of the human drive for freedom.” Circuit Judge Theodore R- Bohn, personal representative of Gov. William, said the deaths “will remain a shocking m ilestone in our history, and I. hope the free nations of the world endorse the resolution so their deaths won't be in vain.” Disaster in India A business adm inistration stu dent at the University of Detroit, Fr. Paul Louis, of India, an o r ganizer of the Indian Anti-Com- niunist League, said “we have the moral obligation and responsibil ity to fight communism.” Describing conditions in his own country, Fr. Louis said: “India is on the verge of disaster. W e do not know wiiat is going to hap pen, but there is a big movement in which peoples of all religions have joined together to comibat the forw ard m arch of commun ism.” O ther speakers included Mrs* A nastasia Dibrova, of St. M ary Ukrainian Orthodox Church Sis terhood, a form er inm ate of a So viet concentration camp, who de scribed her experiences in U k rainian ; Olga E. Shuster, presi dent of the D etroit Council of the Ukrainian W omen’s National League; and Mrs. Pauline Bud- zol, rally chairman. (Monday, M arch 19, 1956, “D e troit News”).
