COOKS SENTENCED TO DIE
FILTHY SOVIET KITCHENS UNDERMINING STATE TRADE SHOW TRIAL SCAPEGOATS . PRISON TERMS FOR SEVEN By Telegraph—Press Assn.—Copyright. Rec. 5.5 p.m. London, July 13. What the Soviet Press describes as intolerably filthy conditions in the industrial kitchens and the inedibility of the food served in workers’ restaurants at Moscow has resulted in five “cook wreckers” being sentenced to death and seven imprisoned for terms from eighteen months to eight years after a demonstrative four-day trial.
The Riga correspondent of the Times says the victinis apparently are scapegoats selected with suitable non-prole-tarian origins, including Mikhail Oshkin, ex-Czarist officer and landowner, sentenced, to death, and his two sons, imprisoned. / Witnesses testified that soups and other dishes regularly contained quantities of rubbish, nails, hair and glass. The court declared it proved that the accused mixed these in the food for the purpose of discrediting the Soviet and undermining State industry.
