Nick Hubaly, AUUC chairman, said police had refused to take evidence from any of the by- Standers.

The request was refused, though Many’ organizations &et such co- operation. When the DPs began to gather _ Outside the hall, a call was put in to the police department and two constables appeared in a cruiser. They went among the DPs urging them to “break it up”. Then they left. * . No sooner had they departed than the DPs swung into action, smash- ing off the stair railng, throwing bricks, rocks and ice through the _ windows and battering the door. When the door began to give un- der the pounding, it was opened from the inside. ‘Tom Kremyr was among those and Krawchuk addressed the 150 persons who were not intimidat- ed by the storm-troop gang. The AUUC official declared the gang was the same one that had ‘caused trouble in the hall a year ago. Following that incident the local Ukrainian - Canadians ‘had sent a delegation to Carl: Eyre, then mayor, now MP, who had warned the DP’s to stay away. In Sudbury on December 7, 25 DPs began a similar organized at- tempt to disrupt an AUUC meet- ing, but a dozen police expelled them. In South Porcupine Sunday afternoon a well-organized fascist DP gang tried three times, unsuc- cessfully, to break up an AUUC meeting. The DPs were finally dis- persed by the police. -The pattern in these assaults in- dicates the same central command as organized the attack on ‘the Winnipeg Ukrainian Labor Temple in October. It was revealed at that time the paper’s editor, R. Ilnitski, urg- ed DPs “to goto the country sel- ected by the Ukrainian emigration as’ the terrain for its maximum ¢oncentration and its main theater of action. Such a country of our choosing ... must be Canada.” _ Objective of, this plan was: “... we must strive towards in- fluencing the fate of the whole State in proportion” to (our strength) in Canada,” said this fascist .editor, “no one will boy- cott us, no laws will limit the | field of our activities.” gs Most of these 'Ukrainian-German DPs haye lived in “Germany for many years. Many served in Hit- ler’s armies or as police, spies and hangmen during Hitler’s occupa- tion of the Ukraine. a As the AUUC warned last Octo- ber: “They are no innocent vic- tims who had been forcefuly evac- uated from the Ukraine into Ger- man camps ... They are the trained storm-troopers in Germany before the war and at the begin- ning of the war who constituted a part of the Nazi army. One could tell this readily from their anti- Semitic and threatening out- bursts.” \ SOINTULA LOCAL U.F.A.W.U.
