RUSS RAILROAD VIEWED GREAT ECONOMIC STEP Turkestan-Siberia Link Is Chief Achievement of Soviet Regime. The nit and mysterious land of Cep* tral Asia, hitherto hidden from western eyes and almost unknown, was opened rerently to a parte of foreign journalists who were permitted to penetrate to the innermost parts of the region for the opening of the Torksib Bailway. Eugene Lyons. Vnited Press correspondent at Moscow, has returned from that Journey and brought back with him a fascinating picture of the land. Its people, and the amazing changes being attempted by the Soriet government. BY EUGENE LYONS United Press Staff Correspondent ALMA-ATA, Soviet Republic of Kasafcstan, U. S. S. R., June 16. Os he most ambitious enterprises undertaken by the Soviet government, including the mammoth Dnieperstroi hydro-electric the first to be completed was Turksib—the Turkestan Siberian railroad —which now connects those two Asiatic spheres of Russian empire across the hills and steppes of (Kazakstan. All the fervor and desperate hopes generated in thirteen years of revolution are at present being directed in the single channel of industrial upbuilding. It is almost impossible for a westerner, and especially for an , American, to whom another railroad or another power station means little or nothing, to understand the outburst of enthusiasm evoked by such an achievement in the i.ew Russia. Road Long Projected ' The opening of Turksib—a year sooner, some 25,000,000 rubles cheaper than planned and entirely with Soviet funds—was considered in 1930 a triumph comparable with the defeat of White armies in 1920. As far back as 1878 such a ro?.d was projected, and in 1912 work was actually begun, to be interIrupted by the war. With the completion of the Turksib the Soviet government has enormously strengthened its strategic position in Asia. The railroad runs from Semipalatinsk (which in turn is connected to the trans-Siberian at Novosibirsk) to the station Lugovaya not far from Tashkent —a distance of 3,442 kilometers. About 1,000 kilometers run parallel to the west China frontier. Military Advantages Spurs will be built between the new railroad and the Urals on one /ide and with the Chinese border towns on the other. The whole weight of Soviet economic and military resources can now be easily thrown to Turkestan if necessary. The military advantages undoubtedly were in the minds of Soviet leaders, but the economic motives were clearly paramount. The development of Central Asia, Jot its own sake and for the sake of the whole Soviet Union, which needs its cotton, is an intrinsic part of the five-year plan, whose achievement is the goal of all Soviet policy now. In the next year, it is calculated, the new railroad will carry 1,225,000 tons of freight between Siberia and Turkestan. In five years the total will be nearly doubled. The goods shipped will be chiefly \ bread and lumber.

Bw Unit'd Pra* tK, June 16.—The police bent a sympathetic ear today t$ Mrs. Margaret Hartley Gallagher, who lost a lobe of hers. Mrs. Gallagher, who describes hErself as a former ‘•hoofer,” complained that John Lennon, proprietor of an alleged speakeasy, had shot off the lobe of her right ear ip an argument. Mrs. Gallagher said farther that the argument hinged about the po'ice and that she had supported the authorities. Naturally the officers were quick to avenge the insult Not only did they arrest Lennon, but they found certain liquids in his establishment that added the charge of violation of the dry law to the felonious assault count already preferred against him.

SMALLPOX IS PERIL TO MANY Constant Danger of Wide Outbreak of Disease. By Science Service NEW YORK, June 16.—There Is constant danger of a widespread outbreak of smallpox of virulent type in the United States because of the large number of susceptible persons, statisticians of the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company state in a review of the situation during the last three years. Until the number of susceptible persons greatly is reduced by general acceptance of vaccination, there will be no real security against smallpox, the report states. More cases of smallpox were reported in 1929 from forty-four states, the District of Columbia and eight Canadian provinces than in either 1928 or 1927. In Canada alone there was much less smallpox than in either 1928 or 1927. More than 40,000 cases were reported during 1929 for the two countries, the forty-four states and District of 1 Columbia totaling more than 38,000. However, for both countries combined, there were fewer deaths from the disease in 1929 than in the two preceding years. Illinois reported more cases than any other state, but Louisiana, Maine, Georgia and Texas had very many fatal cases. ‘LOG CABIN’TO COST * A MILLION DOLLARS Chicago Financier Spares no Expense on North Woods Retreat. Bv United Preen LAKE GENEVA, Wis., June 16. Logs felled on beds of straw to prevent injury to their bark and then packed in straw and shipped here are being used in construction of a “million-dollar log cabin” for Harley L. Clarke, Chicago financier. Nearly one hundred men have been working on the structure for more than a year. All the timber is hewn by hand. F.ven the shingles are hand-split. The project includes three separate buildings, the largest of which is a main lodge with fourteen bedrooms. A refrigerating system in the basement will supply cool air to every room in the summer. Clarke was rated as a multimillionaire in the utilities business before he recently became head of the Fox film corporation. MANY SEEKING U. S.

BISHOP CANNON TO FIGHT PRESS BY LIBEL SUITS Already Has Decided to Start Prosecution of One Paper. By United Preet WASHINGTON, June 16—Bishop James Cannon Jr. of the Southern Methodist church announced today that his attorney is scanning newspaper articles and editorials about him with a view to prosecuting the publishers of those he believes libelous. He said the lawyer already had decided one newspaper published libelous matter. At the same time, Cannon united in an appeal to the senate with Eugene L. Crawford, secretary of the Methodist Board of Temperance and Social Service, of which Cannon is chairman, asking that the entire Wickersham law enforcement program be passed before 'adjournment. Assails Catholic Paper The bishop’s personal statement said: ‘‘Bishop James Cannon Ja. issued a statement that he had consulted counsel with reference to the various cartoons, editorials and alleged news articles published concerning him in various wet and Roman Catholic publications during the last two years, and had requested counsel tp make a careful examination of all of those publications with a view to determining which, if any, of them may be the basis of action for libel, either criminal or civil. “His counsel already has reached the decision that the Catholic Union and Times of Buffalo has published clearly libelous matter. This paper has been the most abusive of all the Roman Catholic papers which have been attacking Bishop Cannon for the last two years. Senators Are Protected “The bishop further announced that it would be his purpose to meet all further publications, as well as those which already have been made, as far as counsel may consider them proper grounds for action, with the processes of the law. “Vicious, cowardly attacks made in the senate and the house of representatives are immune from such prosecution.” GERMANY IS WARNED Must Get Finances In Better Order, Says Gilbert. By United Preen . BERLIN, June 16.—The German government must put its finances into better order immediately if it wishes to maintain public credit and national economy, S. Parker Gilbert warned in his final report as agentgeneral of reparations under the Dawes plan. The American banker, who supervised the payment of Germany’s war reparations for almost six years, reminded Germany that it was now up to the nation itself to untangle its financial affairs. Germany has been too free with increasing its expenditures, the 366page report said, while the sources of revenues have not expanded proportionately. With the advent of the Young plan, bringing a reduction of reparations, the Reichstag, with firm leadership and support from the states and communes, can proceed with the stabilization of its finances, Gilbert said.
