Dr. Stahlberg had been rumored as listed among the bootees not as a Communist but as a Progressive, oldtime foe of the conservative parties. Finns have regarded the Communist kidnappings with marked complacency, but kidnapping their George Washington was another matter. Something had to be done. Detectives worked furiously. Last week eight persons were brought to trial, the spotlight was fixed on the chief conspirators: Major General K. Martii Wallenius...
