-~ COMMUNIST PARTY -~ HAS PURIFCATION 14,000 of 200,000 Members Are Expelled by Leaders of * Soviet Organization. the Chicago By Rl s Sopyitent, Tea e MOSCOW, U. 8. 8. R, May 20— Throughout the Soviet Union the Com- | munist party for some months past has | been house-cleaning and it is now tab- ulating and making public the results. This process is known formally as “purification.” In general, the great work entailed has been done by workmen, poor ts, ‘rural servants and old revo- | utionaries and not by what ie known as the employe class, which includes the largest percentage of mentally trained men and women and has involved an astonishingly large number of exami- nations into the records of individual | party members. | In the Moscow district alone more than 200,000 party members have been | examined, of whom about 14,000 have | been expelled. In most cases such ex- pulsion means no more than exile from the party, but in the cases of some officials in industrial or other estab- lishments, expulsion involves thé loss | of jobs. Causes of Expulsion. Most of those suffering expulsion are 80 punished because they are either in- fected with “political indifference” or are ‘“political strangers.” Men and women convicted of political indiffer- ence are, of course, lacking in zeal for the cause of Communism. The case of political strangers is somewhat harder of analysis, but the term carries the inference that while & political stranger may have sufficient seal. his or her brain process is not adapted to the needs of Communism.
