DRINK IN RUSSIA
A REFORM CAMPAIGN
(United Service.) (By Cable—Press Assn—Copyright.)
RIGA, August 23
In connection with an anti-drink campaign in Leningrad, the authorities have arrested fifty-three tavern keepers. Inspectors of schools reveal that 74 per cent, of the children have been addicted to drink for three years, having largely been encouraged by their parents.
Miasnudov, a member of the League of Communist Youth, ran amok while intoxicated in Leningrad. He shot and killed his young wife, and followed the ambulance to the hospital and killed a doctor. Then he rushed into the streets, firing wild fusilades until he was mortally wounded by a militiaman.
