$10,000 Red Engineers

Solemnly at Ellis Island last week landed 20 Soviet engineers. They sought to enter the U. S. to find out as much as possible about U. S. industrial processes and methods. Candidly they said that their purpose was to return to Russia with this knowledge, use it to build up the Soviet power.

A special Ellis Island board of inquiry was called. After due deliberation the board handed down this decision: each engineer must post a bond of $500 guaranteeing that he would actually return to Russia. When a $10,000 blanket bond had been swiftly posted, the 20 Red engineers were admitted to the U. S.
