selves are facing a purge on almost similar charges. Editorials and readers’ letters in thd. Liberation Daily—party organ in ; Shanghai—charged the judges with having lost the “correct ideological standpoint” in dispensing justice. They were said to be guilty of “maintaining the standpoint of the old legal Astern.” The charges drew a prompt plea ofguilty from the chief judge in Shanghai. Han Shu-tzu, which al\ so was published in the Libera-

tion Daily. Han said a “thoughtreform movement” —a Communist euphemism for purge has been started in the judicial brjyich. The Liberation Daily threw the charges at the Red judges after tifro readers wrote the newspaper disclosing cases of "gross miscarriage of justice.” One woman reader complained that she was denied a divorce from* her "counter-revolutionary" husband on grounds of insufficient evidence. She said her husband left her four years ago to go to the United States for further studies and he has since returned to Taiwan to join the “reactionaries?’ Another reader disclosed that a worker Was summarily convicted in 1950 and sentenced to 10 months imprisonment for an offense which was committed by someone else. The actdal offender had since confessed in the recent “three anti movement,” but the wrongly-con-victed worker already had died in prison months before. The Liberation Daily made no mention at all of the possibility of “gross miscarriages of justice” in the hundreds of thousands, of cases in which alleged "counterrevolutionaries,” landlords, local despots, Kuomintang and American spies and saboteurs were mobtried and sentenced to death or long terms of imprisonment. GOOD STORY BUTCOLUMBIA, S. C. (UP)—A new use for corn whiskey was described to city recorder John I. Rice. A woman charged with having a jug of illicit corn told Rice she mixed the booze with camphor and rubbed it on her skull to cure "the misery in my head.” Rice gave a more painful prescription—J2s.oo fine or 30 days. The scientific name for the common dog is canis familiaris. ?
