An important aspect of the
election was the defeat of La-
bor Minister Wicks and Agri-
culture ‘Minister Steacy. There
has been widespread opposit-
ion to Socred labor and agri-
culture policies.

The major issues of the cam-

candidates of the
Communist Party whose rela-

found among the people for
its platform of peace, jobs, se-

These were some of the facts
revealed at a press conference
here Sept. 6 by two former |
NSA code-crackers, Bernon F.
Mitchell, 31, and William H.
Martin, 29.

They sought political asylum |
in the Soviet Union and were
granted Soviet citizenship after
renouncing U.S. citizenship as
a protest against the policies
of dangerous overflights of
socialist countires and the an-
nounced preventive war aims
of the American military.

After describing how the
U.S. exchanges data on code-
cracking with Britain the two
former NSA men said “besides

President Pieck’s death at

brought to a close a lifetime
of working class struggle from
the age of 18.

A specific case cited was the
paying out of money to a code
clerk working at the Turkish
embassy in Washington.

The flights of U.S. planes
along and over the borders of
the Soviet Union are routine,
they said, “and the number of
such flights is far greater than
is generally supposed: by the
U.S. public.”
