Mrs. Susan Appleby, S5, was car
ried to safety down a ladder from

Radek Chief Target
ViShinsky directed his most bit
ter remarks against Karl Radek,
world-noted editorial writer long
high in the Soviet regime, and
against Gregory Piatakov, former
vice commissar for heavy indus
tries and also a long-truSted aide
of Josef Stain, against whom per
sonally most of the defendants
have been accused of plotting.
The prosecutor told the mill
tary tribunal hearing the cases
that the defendants were "profes-
sional criminals and Trotskyist
bandits who did not stop at selling
the Soviet Union to Japan and
Germany"
Radek and Piatakov listened
with bowed heads as VlShlnSky
shouted at them:
"YOu have committed a mOn-
strOus crime. You have become
the advance guard Of Fascist
international"
VishinSky shook his fist at the
defendants as he summed up his
case. The comparatively cheerful
attitude the accused had assumed
at opening of the trial Saturday
had gone now. Gloom pervaded the
court.
The Secret Session
The prosecutors appeal was pre-
ceded by a secret session which
brought out, according to semi.
official sources, the exact Identifies
and positions of the Germans and
Japanese who were alleged to
have schemed to wreck the Stain
regime and make war on Russia.
Radek and Piatakov were said
to have been most closely ques-

Abolition of the death penalty

bill introduced in the House by
Representative Paul Kvale F.Ll

introduced at the last Congress
but failed of passage. Representa-

Funny that Clark Griffith should

In Washington they don't

can't see the field unless you

All of the newspaper men in other

No man who has done the things he's
done for adopted children can be
called q cheap skate. If it's lack OF
