of the executions said 81 were put
to death at Leningrad and two spared,

Execution Plans Secret
The cloak of official secrecy, applied
to details of kiroffs death, was ex-
tended to the executions. In what
manner the 66 were killed and where
was not revealed. 1t was assumed they
had faced firing squads.
Property of the condemned men
was confiscated Their names were
prominent in the White Armies" in
civil warfare following the bolshevik
revolution, nor had they achieved
prominence since.
The court at Leningrad said the
convicted men there had entered the
country with instructions to organize
terrorism, and that they came in
through Finland, Latvia and Poland
All the cases were tried separately
by military collegium of the Su-
preme Court, the communique said
The general charge of plotting terror
istlc acts against the government had
been made against the White
Guards"
Assassin Suspect Is Held.
Leonid Nicolieff, held as Kiroff's as
sassin, presumably is still being ques-
TONED. He was not mentioned IN the
communique.

BITES GO WITH SONG

CHICAGO, December @.-
Either Gus has got to change his
ways or Alpha Delta Phi has to get
a new fraternity song.
Gus, police dog at the chapter
house on the University of Chicago
campus, apparently developed a
strong distaste for the song the
brothers sing as ritual at fraternity
dinners. He runs about nipping the
brothers on the legs as they sing.
Chief problem is that Robert May
nard HutchinS, president of the Uni
versity of Chicago, being an alumnus
of the chapter, is likely to drop in
while the brothers are singing and
they can't run the risk Of having his
legs nipped.
