EDUCATION THREATENED
CONVICT LABOR BEING USED BY
 SOVIET RUSSIA
Tried to Keep It Secret and Censored All News Written to That Effect

Moscow, Dec 28 - (UP) = A roundup of "unproductive ele- ments" in the larger Soviet cities was under way to-day, aimed to uproot kulaks (propertied peas- ants) and others and to put them to work, presumably in convict la bor camps.
 The central executive committee of the Soviet union ordered the roundup soon after the long for- bidden subject of convict labor was accorded space in Soviet newspapers for the first time. The decree said that the unproductive elements would be segregated and removed elsewhere, and that only invalfds and thoss physically utl- able to work would be excepted.
 Agents of the Gpu, the Soviet secret police, will examine the documents of all citizens in the drive. A special board of the Gpu was created to carry out the project.
 It is well known among foreign CTS living here that convict labor Is employed in the Soviet union. The subject has been barred by official censors, unless a corre- spondent sent a message denying the existence of convict labor. It is common knowledge here, for example, that the canal connecting the White sea and the Baltic was built largely by convict labor, and that all labor now employed on the Moscow-Volga canal is con- vict labor. Any mention of this in dispatches, however, has been blue pencilled.
