A wreath of red carnations is placed against a lampost on the northwest corner of Fifth Avenue and 15th Street by "Friends of Carlos Tresca," January 8, 1955. Tresca, the outspoken anti-fascist editor of "Il Martello," was shot down at the spot during a dim-out on Jan. 11, 1943. Many theories exist as to the identity of the killer(s), but none has been proved. Samuel H. Friedman, second from left, a member of the Socialist Party's nation executive board, and Phillip Heller, right, former labor information officer for the Mutual Security Agency in Germany and Austria, eulogized the late editor.
