MOSCOW, June 2.-The Russian
Communist Congress. which has just
closed with presentation to the gov
ernment of a squadron of aeroplanes
raised by national subscription, reg
listers the fact that communism is
once more in full control here.
Weaklings, compromisers and the
like have been driven out of the party
or into silence. The period of re-
treat begun with the Congress of
1921 is now definitely closed. the Com
muniStS being reinforced by machin-
cry more elaborate and more efficient
and by more clever methods than
ever before.
Retail private trade will be ham,
strung, IL not extinguished. The new
control completely wholesale trade
and private capital and also fix prices.
New foreign concessions will be con-
Quoted wherever possible on mixed
company basis. the government shar-
ing basis and control.
The Congress frankly recognized
that the peasants still are their most
serious problem. The campaign for
educating them in communism will
be pushed by every possiblel means.
Peasant newspapers will be specially
fostered. Delegates will be selected
in the villages to read the papers
aloud to those who are unable to read.
and the number of pictorial posters
will be increased.
So anxious is the Congress to win
the peasantry that it will modify its
tactics in undermining religion. Sew
eral speakers. including Kalinin. in
sisted that the methods employed for
attacking religion were too crude.

MIND EXPERTS DISAGREE.

CHICAGO, June 2.-The psychiatrists
are in clover. Already they have be-
gun coming new phrases and spin
ming tenuous theories to explain
why two nfneteen-year-o boys-pam-
pered sons of millionaire fathers !;
savants in their teens. gifted IN IN
tellect far beyond their fellows-
should have brutally murdered the
thirteen-year-old son Of another mil
lionaire. The trial of the slayers.
when the $25.000.0o0 joint fortune OF
the three fathers involved has been
brought into full play, promises a
battle of alienists SURPRISING even the
famous Harry X. Thaw struggles for
freedom.
Was it mere lust for killing, bred in
minds depraved through lack OF moral
restraint; was it sex pervers1on, a
study which long had engrossed the
young savants. or was 1T an unpal-
anced mentality that delights in the
torture, of humans. that led Nathan
E. Leopold. jr.. and Richard p. Loeb
to slay young Robert Franks TO
build up a theory for the crime that
will save the two boys from the gal

being devoted. The millions of Jacob
Franks, manufacturer, will go be-
hind the demand or the law In illinois
for an eye for an eye-the gallows
for the confessed slayers of his son.
Some of the mental specialists who
have studied the case see in the
bravado, the boastfulness of the
slayers, evidence of the lust for tor
ture and killing for it's own sake.
They find in the crime of the brilliant
desire that gave Harry X. Thaw
pleasure in the flagellation of girls
and boys. The statement OF the boys
that they killed for the fun of it"
seeking a new thrill-bears out this
theory.
Both boys had delved deeply into
curious literature. Leopold. in par
ticular. had devoted much time to
the study of the perverse: He knew
of the perverted monarches of old.
who delighted in the torture of hu-
man beings. gloating over their pain
and ultimate death. He knew. too.
of the present day perverts. many in
number. who derive pleasure from
personally inflicted injury.
Other specialists incline to the be-
lief that young Franks was kidnapped as
the intended victim of some other
form of perversion. and that he was
slain when he recognized his captors.
Crime OF Precocity.
Others, studying the intellectual
history of the precocious pair, who
were graduated from college with
honors before they had reached the
college; studying their f1ippant atti-
tude toward morality. their disdain
of religion. are building up theory
of a crime of precocity, Thls Is
distinct from the ordinary crimes or
latter are. held by psychiatrists to be
affairs of the motions rather than oil
the intellect =.
The aristocracy of moronity. is
the phrase used by one well known
Specialist in an effort to classify the
slayers He finds the case "a para
dox of paradoxes," in its fine show
of mental contradictions on the part
of the youths who showed hendish
ingenuity, bland and Socky assur-
ance, set against undoubted symp-
toms of sexual perversion, with a
bright she'll of sophistication in OPP
position to the subtlety of their
minds"
Both Had Plenty of Money.
None of the alienists pay much at
tention to the statement of the boys
that the money they sought to extort
from Robert Franks father was a
compelling motive. Both lads had
all the money they needed. The an
swer, all agree. lies somewhere In the
realm of pathology.
Young Loeb has collapsed now. He
is no longer a naughty young in
tellectuai. He is just a weak, broken
boy, pitifully apprehensive of the
gallows he pictures as awaiting him.
Leopold is the same brilliant, haugh-
ty, contemptous. egocentric youth. He
says he realizes that death at the
end of a hangman's neese is his portion,
and he is ready to face 1t. Indeed,
to some observers, it seems that this
boy, having tried all the sensations
that life affords, looks forward to
death as great new adventure
His strongest emotion seems to be
contempt for the "weakling that
Loeb, the broken confessor of their
frightful crime, has turned out to be.
