“SPIES & WRECKERS”
ANOTHER PURGE STARTED IN RUSSIA
ARMY SCHOOL LECTURERS DENOUNCED.
ACCUSED OF GIVING FALSE INSTRUCTION.
By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright. LONDON, January 12.
The Warsaw correspondent of "The Times,” in a. message from Moscow,says that the Ogpu (secret police) reported that they have discovered a nest of spies and wreckers among the lecturers in Moscow’s military and educational establishments, who have been accused of giving students false instruction in the art of war, which, if put into practice, would bring disaster upon upon the Societ armies. This wrong instruction is said to have been going on for more than a year, particularly in the Red Army School of Chemical Warfare, where the ■first “lecturer-wrecker” was discovered to be giving false instruction in tactics. Further investigations have revealed that the school’s political commissar, Isakoff, had been “blind and deaf” for a year, while Fascist spies worked under his very nose. The Ogpu’s new chief, Barca, has ordered a thorough purge of the Red Army’s schools.
