He was also active in the Communist Party of Norway, but was excluded in 1929 because of his membership in Mot Dag.He worked as an editor of science articles in the working class encyclopedia Arbeidernes leksikon from 1932 to 1936, and worked in the publishing house Arbeidermagasinets Forlag in the same period.
