CAMPAIGN INTENSIFIED
(Elee. Tel. Copyright—Vniteil Press Assn.) (Reed. Aug. 7,2 p.m.) MOSCOW, Aug. 6.
Eighteen Trotskyist spies, terrorists, and wreckers were executed at Piatikorhk, Caucasia, after being found guilty by a military court of setting lire to municipal buildings and wrecking railways. The campaign against Jews, Christians, and Mohammedans has been intensified owing to the approach of the elections. Under M. Stalin's new constitution, charges of espionage will be levelled against them. The Izvestia, under the head-line, "Spies in Priests' Robes," says sects are riddled with spies.
