Propaganda trials in Russia correspond to U. S. Presidential statements, serve to emphasize the Administration's notions. Last big affair of this sort was the Schachkta Trial (TIME, July 2 & 16, 1928), broadcast by radio to prove that lazy, clumsy or willfully inefficient engineers or workmen could expect harsh treatment. Hero of these proceedings was Soviet Prosecutor Nikolai Vassilievitch Krylenko. Last week in a 30-column statement which Moscow papers dutifully printed, Comrade Krylenko announced that he would put eight arrested persons on trial for conspiring with non-Bolshevik citizens to seize the State and to make...
...police department . . . by publishing a minute description of [felons'] names, aliases and persons. . . ." The exposures started with policy gambling (now a thriving operation in most large Negro centres) and stopped at nothing. Violence and threats of libel alike failed to stop the editors. The Gazette dealt in harsh detail with one John B. Gough, temperance lecturer, whom it claimed to have found intoxicated in a Manhattan brothel. It pilloried a Mrs. Ann Lohman-"Mme.

...Harsh and bitter expletives sullied the air of Manhattan's theatre district last week. Fortnight ago the League of New York Theatres, Inc., six months in forming, got into motion against the Broadway ticket-speculators who annually mulct theatre-goers of thousands of dollars. Fifty theatres (80% of the leading houses) and 16 ticket brokers were on the League roster. Board Member Alfred Emanuel Smith issued a letter of benediction. Special League tickets were issued to the 13 member houses then open. Meanwhile from the offices of nonLeague producers and "outlaw" brokers issued rumblings of war. ''Blacklist...
