Biography

Simonov is named in the July 16 Western Worker’s July 4 San Diego dispatch among arrested audience members after police stopped the Film & Foto League showing of anti-fascist film America Today. The paper calls the asserted city ordinance a pretext, reports both Simonov and Walter Hines actually out on bond, and schedules jury trial July 26 at10a.m. in the police court on Ash Avenue. No final verdict or precise discharge day is stated. Source: https://www.marxists.org/history/usa/pubs/westernworker/1934/v3-n27-31-jul-1934.pdf#page=7
