*Name of her husband: Molotov. His job: Premier. †Not from Ringling Brothers-Barnum & Bailey, as that organization, which disapproves of cooch dancers, wished it distinctly understood. *Startled was the Soviet Union last week by a case which Moscow censors let go out over the cables as that of "Valdemar Lintin, pampered son of a high Soviet official and his 'dream friend' Victor Sokolov," according to United Press which further tagged what occurred as SOVIET RUSSIA'S LOEB-LEOPOLD CASE.
The high Soviet official is Supreme Court Judge Karl Lintin. The Soviet Loeb-Leopold pair, instead of murdering a Communist Bobbie Franks, were responsible for the death of Mrs. Lintin. Her son, a "mama's darling" of 16, is described as having always worn silk shirts and having his bed linen changed daily.
Fired by the Old Bolsheviks' confessions, the Supreme Court Judge's son and his sycophant decided to filch Soviet military secrets, skip to Germany where they would sell these to the Nazis, then take in the night spots of Europe. When his mother interfered, Mother's Boy Lintin slapped her, bashed in her head with a hammer, after which he and Sycophant Sokolov toasted the matricide in wine.
In Chicago the original Loeb & Leopold considered they were lucky when Clarence Darrow got them off with 99-yr. sentences. Soviet Supreme Court Judge Lintin's son last week got eight years and his "dream friend" five years in labor camps. There, according to the hopeful Soviet official press this week: "They may be regenerated into the ranks of wonderful Soviet Youth." It was pointed out that if the hammer-murderers had broken a hammer in a factory, thus committing "sabotage," they might have been sentenced to death.
