...Soviet police last week jailed numerous Komsomol (Communist Youth Organization) leaders in the Ukraine and White Russia, who were accused of fomenting pogroms, according to Swedish press reports from Moscow. Stirred up by Young Communists, citizens of Pedobanya of the River Nemiljana started beating up Jews and attacking their homes. Moscow dispatched a commission of inquiry which reported that in the Ukraine there is "organized and fairly widespread" antiSemitism.

Death on the Installment Plan was merely expurgated and called the work of a communist, an anarchist and a maniac. As the U. S. edition follows the French, most readers' imaginations are probably not strong enough to figure out what French publishers expurgated. English publishers threw out plenty...
