Secudiy ' SFTJust one Week before the ball -- as Hahn began to feel more and more uncertain because of the aforementioned incidents -- he had asked the chief of the communist-sponsored students' pro- fessional organization, A.1(jakans /2r, for a reference about his work in the Academy. OFFOught this reference because he felt he needed a job to fall back upon in case he ever had to abandon his location and seek cover.
