Two students of the Charkoff Geodetic Institute were expelled from the college and one sentenced to imprisonment for their anti-Semitic activities.
The court ordered that the two students, Mikula and Liashenko, be expelled from the institute. Liashenko was sentenced to the months in jail.
Evidence submitted at the trial showed the prevalence of anti-Semitism at the institute, where incidents similar to those which occurred last year at the Kings County Hospital, New York, occurred. Jewish students were dragged from their beds and immersed in cold water. They were beaten in the dark. Liashenko made a sport of flourishing his knife before the noses of Jewish students in the dormitory. The insulting term, “Zhid” was freely used.
Under the slogan, “Let’s put out the lights and kill the Jews,” they terrorized the Jewish students. One Jewish student, Shubin, was driven to insanity. The trial lasted three days.
Vladimir Yagoda, a technician in the factory. Red Star, in Zinovyevsk, was sentenced to six years imprisonment for terrorizing Jewish workers in the factory. The trial lasted five days.
LEGAL ACTION TO PREVENT NAMING OF ‘MOUNT MARSHALL’
Theodore V. W. Anthony, lawyer of Newburgh, N. Y., who last January objected to the naming of one of the Dixrange peaks “Mount Marshall” in honor of the sons of Louis Marshall, has announced his intention to take legal action, if necessary, to change the names of six peaks as listed on the 1927 map of the State Conservation Commission, according to a report in the “New York Times.”
In a circular letter sent to come of his fellow-members of the Adirondack Mountain Club, it was learned, Mr. Anthony includes a petition to the Board of Regents, the only agency, according to Mr. Anthony, with authority to designate name places under the State statutes.
The names which should be changed, Mr. Anthony’s letter declaret are given in “Peaks and People of the Adiron-Carson. Mr. Anthony drew the ## dacke,” a back written by R? M. S. of the Board of Governors of the Adirondack Mountain Club last January when in criticizing the naming of Mount Marshall in the volume he admitted “a pro-gentile leaning on all points in controversy.”
