Khomeini been murdered thanks to thẹ dirty work of the Tudeh, have against such a notion.

And where were the Harry Sloan articles calling for campaigns in defence of all the Iranian workers and leftists who have suffered at the hands of the Tudeh? And what of all the other oppressed groups in Iranian society infinitely more in need of solidarity campaign than the Stalinist gangsters of the Tudeh?

Insofar as socialists oppose a reactionary regime turning on its own reactionary supporters, it is because it is the right of the working class, not its oppressors, to stand in judgemens on such people and implement the appropriate penalty. й.

STAN CROOKE Glasgow Dear Comrades, * Having just returned from th. NUPE National Conference would like to take the oppo: tunity through your pages t: make an appeal to all NUPE mem bers who read your paper.

All NUPE members, and you: readers, must be aware that Sui Slipman, a full-time paid officia of NUPE, is standing for the SDF in the Basildon constituency.

It is the weekly contribution: of low-paid and poorly treated NUPE | members that pay Slipman's £10,000 a year salary and provide her with a brand new car every year. It is therefore dis. gusting that she has been granted three weeks' paid leave by the union to go off and campaign for the SP's repressive and reaction trade union and incomes policies.

We are urging al NUPE branches to send resolutions direct to the Executive Committee and call for her dismissal on the grounds that her actions directly contravene Rule 2(1) under the objects of the Nationa Union of Public Employees;

Yours fraternally; GEOFF MARTIN Branch Chaut, Sutton Area Hospitals NUPE
