Imposed for obtaining money under false pretenses. .With Leo M, Hicks, Schroeder escaped from the county Jail June 29 by crawling to the roof and dropping through a trap door leading to space outside the jail. Schroeder, under Oregon law. Is liable to a three year sentence for Jail escape, and the same applies to Hicks. According to police records Schroeder served a term In San Quenttn prison, and Hicks a term In the New Mexico state prison. Advices state Schroeder left a trail of bad checks In hla cross-country flight. He passed spurious paper In this city and county totalling more than $200 and waa arrested at Den ver and returned here.

Russia as it Is Today Uncensored Revelations in Stalin's Blood Purge (Continued truss pact one.) Closing time for Too Late to Clas sify Ads is 1:30 p. m. munlst party by Stalin's steel broom are nothing new. Often In the past they have resulted In the expulsion of hundreds of thousands of mem bers. But Instead of mere expulsions there are now widespread executions, arrests, exiles and dismissals. The extent of the purge provides clear evidence that Stalin regards this crisis aa far more critical than the tussle with Trotsky In which only a few thousand were expelled or re canted their opposition. This purge strikes deeper and wider than any previous party clean out. It ranges from the inner circles of the government the central com mittee of the communist party, which embraces the real rulera of the coun try through the navy, the red army, through every department of the government, to schools, universities, the communist youth organization and directors of theatres. Officials Frightened Reliable Information about the ex tent of and reasons for this purge, always hard to obtain. Is now more than ordinarily difficult to get. Of ficials are frightened half out of their wits. The man In the street knows no more than la told In the heavily censored press, which carries little but vague generalities and more often nothing at alt. Thou sands have disappeared from their posta without explanation and with out mention in the newspapers. Al most dally broadsides In the press about the danger of spies have caused i all foreigners to be regarded as un- touchables. Thus, the ordinarily i meager soviet sources of Information i have dried up. ! From compilations of Items pub lished In the soviet press It la known however, that at least 500 persons iibvb oem executea ay unng squaas. Often news of the shooting of scores. In groups Is printed only In a single obscure provincial newspaper and never Is mentioned In the met ropolitan press. Since there are more than 10.000 newspapers In the Soviet Union and no foreign correspondent or foreign diplomatic mission can possibly read regularly more than a few dozen of the more Important editions, It Is highly likely that many reports of executions have been missed. Total Not Known For the same reason, the total num ber of arrests, exiles and dismissals is purely a matter for conjecture. Many of the Imprisoned probably will be released later. The charges against them cover a wide range that they were enemies of the people, deadly enemies of the people, fascist spies, Trotzky - Butcher mists, degenerate, saboteurs, bandits, counter-revolutionaries, wreckers, rightists and di version lsts. It Is known that In the past year no fewer, than 28 commissars and assistant commissars, and probably many more. In every principal de partment of the government have been arrested, removed or shot. Hun dreds of members of the commissa riat of Internal affairs (formerly the GPU), are now in prison. Most of. the IS commanders of the 15 great military districts have been shifted. Railroad Heads Arrested It la said that 3000 railway officials are under arrest. Dozens of street car union officials and hundreds of factory directors have met the same fate. Many professors and teachers in the principal law schools and di rectors of the foremost thaaters have been dismissed. in 1034, I waa In Berlin during Hitler's famous "blood bath" when In one June day the German dictator suddenly wiped out scores of mem bers of the nazl Inner circle. To me Stalin's "blood purge" Is one- on much wider seals, but the two nave many factors In common, Including even the charge of trafficking with foreign enemies. Hitler's nazl party soon steadied after the shock of that bloody day. and there seems no less reason to believe that Stalin's fax more zealous, more closely knit and better dis ciplined party will weather the pres ent hurricane. (Tomorrows dispatch analyzes the causes of the purge).
