Biography

Page 2 identifies Robert Rhodes as arrested Friday night, July 26, 1935 at a protest at the Forty-Seventh Street Station following the police attack on the Bremen demonstrators. His case and that of the other named station protester were adjourned July 29, and they were paroled into custody of counsel. The station protest is distinguished from the aboard-ship arrests; no statutory count or measured completed term is printed.

Page 2 reports that he and the other named Forty-Seventh Street Station protester were charged with disorderly conduct and paroled into custody of their attorneys, with hearings to be held August 14 alongside the Bremen cases. This confirms counsel-custody status already reported July 30, rather than proving another arrest or a newly measured term. Rhodes is identified as playwright Elmer Rice’s son.
