POLES' TERRIBLE TORTURES IN A GESTAPO JAIL
TERRIBLE TORTURES inflicted on Poles by Agents
of the Gestapo in the Notorious Fort number seven at Poznan have been reported by the Polish Government to the U.S. Government.
"This fort," says the Polish Government, "seems to be a School of Sadism" for agents of the Gestapo who are de- tailed for work in the oc- cupied area of Poland.
All prisoners delivered at the fort are beaten into a state of uncon- sciousness,
"Then they are revived with cold water. Then they are beaten again.
"Many of the prisoners have had their bones broken.
AWAKENED BY BLOWS "During the night they are quently awakened by blows truncheons or rifle butts."

who did not bark were horsewhip- ped. This was called the dog game. "Another method of torture called the hare game.
"The prisoners were driven into the corridors and ordered to run about and hop like hares, while the Gestapo guards played the part of the hunters and shot the chosen hare..
NIGHTLY EXECUTIONS "Nightly execuitons," adds the Po- lish Government, "are being carried out.
"The beating of victims in the face with a hunting crop till they are blinded is a daily occurrence.
"Until recently there was a lethal chamber in this fort into which dozens of crippled victims of the terror were brought from various hos- pitals and put to death with poison gas.
"The Gestapo agents, after being 'educated' in the fort, are drafted as guards to various jails and concentra- tion camps in the Polish occupied territory."

NEGRO MARCH TO
BAN FILM
London negroes plan to picket the three West End cinemas where the flm "Gone with the Wind" is showing.
With them will be Indians, Egyp- tians and West Indians, all members of the Coloured People's Association, which has asked the Home Office and L.C.C. to ban the film on the ground that it is "insulting to the negro com- munity."
: ?
Mr. V. Roy, assistant secretary of the Association, told a reporter "The film depicts negroes as lazy, servile and content to be in slavery, which Is absolutely wrong.
"If the film is not banned we shall march in procession--and there will be several hundred of us--and picket the three theatres.”
When "Gone with the Wind" was shown in New York negroes staged a protest procession.
