An article below about how a 17 year old Trotskyist named Leo Frumkin joined with 500 Jewish high school students to protest fascist Gerald L.K. Smith in 1945. Peer Vinther, my YSA organizer in 1969, told me that Frumkin was involved with another anti-fascist action a few years later that I believed at the time but now write off either as a cock-and-bull story or--if it happened--a really stupid move. Supposedly Frumkin who had become a steelworker organized a crew of comrades to grab one of Smith's followers and then took him to the outskirts of LA where they beat the crap out of him. They told him to get out of town if he knew what was good for him or something like that. This obviously was not a good idea, although it impressed me at the time--like something out of a gangster movie.
