RUSSIA SPLIT INTO ENDLESS CLASS GROUPS Division Needed to Solve Problems of Feeding, Work, Living. ThJ it U>e fourth of the teriet of r---tlelet bv Eugene I.yont summarizing imoression* after three tear* in the Soviet ' nlon. 8V EUGENE LYONS United Press Staff Correspondent MOSCOW, Feb. 26.—The Communist ideal envisions a society without classes, all humankind working 'cgether on terms of equality. For the present, however, the Soviet population is divided and übdlvlded into more classes than ’he capitalist world outside. For the Marxist under a bourgeois system the rough division of people into capitalists and workers, exploiters and victims, generally suffices. Here where Marxism is not merely a philosophy, but a basis for practical action people are split into 'ndless classes and categories according to which they are fed, cixed, given wofk. trusted or terrorized *rce Farm Classes •iuch divisions are thoroughly in me with the logic of Communist 1 nought. Since the individual counts tor nothing, is only a grain of his lOcial group or collective, the mulr iplication of such groups is inevitable. Where once there were landlords nd peasants, now we find kulaks the better-to-do farmers), middle peasants, poor peasants and batraks, !> r landless farm hands. The last two classes are, O: course, >hc favorites. Upon them the Soviet regime bases its plans and its nopes, upon them it lavishes its reources. The middle peasants are a harrowed and driven lot. poised dangerously between the blessed poor and amned kulaks. Kulaks Arc Doomed As to these, they ure scarcely better than outlaws and formally ''oomed to extinction as a class by ihe end of this year, a process of ruthless expurgation already well tarted. In the cities we are confronted oy even more subtle divisions. The iishentzi,” or disfranchised class, has various categories, but the differences between them are only degrees of outlawry and not worth Haggling over. This class includes the dregs of 'lie former ruling classes—ex-aris-rocrats, ex-merchant princes, priests, etc.—and the leavings of 'he Nepmen or private traders. Then come the intellectuals—prolessors, engineers, technicians, artists, actors, lawyers, etc.—who are constantly under suspicion with the benefit of doubt usually against them. Yorkers Divided Deep gulfs yawn between the real proletarians, tjje manual laborers, on one side and the office workers on ihe other. The former are “rabotchi,” the latter “sluzeshchi”; the tonner alone rule even in theory, since the dictatorship of the proletariat does not include the office workers. furthermore, the manual workers are divided into those who do the heavy work in basic industries and their brethren engaged in lighter, more skilled tasks. These distinctions within the working class itself are not academic. They affect food rations, housing, the chance to obtain clothing, schooling. In all these matters the manual worker receives priority. The political reasons for such artificial and seemingly iniquitous splintering of the working class are not far to seek. The revolution needed one powertul group upon wi a it could rely 100 per cent and whose loyalty it could maintain at the boiling point always. The brain workers offered no such safe reliance. They included large masses closely tied by their tastes •and mental habits to the bankrupt past. Next—Ascendancy of the manual laborer.

RECOVERY PREDICTED Best Business Expected in 1935, Lions Told. Complete business recovery from depression by the end of 1931, with “feverish business activity” by 1935 is the prediction of Professor Robert Phillips of Purdue university, international director of Lions clubs. “By 1935 there will be such feverish activity and enterprise that we will forget about the years of 1930 and 1931,” Phillips told members of the Indiana Lions clubs at its annual state banquet in the Claypool Wednesday night. “Basic causes for every depression felt in America since 1837 have been overinvestment, unwise investment, overproduction and the psychological attitude of the people,” he said. By 1940 history will repeat itself and we can expect a waning in business and hard times again, Phillips asserted. The state meeting closed this afternoon, following speeches and reports of district governors. TRAIN HITS TRUCK Pastry Is Spread Over Neighborhood. By United Press RICHMOND, Ind., Feb. 26.—D. C. Britton of Lynn was deposited in the midst of mess of uncooked scrambled eggs, doughr.uts, buns, bread and cakes this morning when his truck was struck by a C. & O. passenger train near here. Britton picked himself up unhurt, having been thrown from the truck into a pile of weeds with bits of food and splinters from the demolished truck. Housewives from the surrounding countryside came to the wreck scene with baskets, coal buckets and sacks, and gathered up the bread, buns and bits of cake that were strewn along the tracks. It was a lucky break for both j Britton and the neighboring house- ! wives. The track belonged to the Hiatt bakers of Winchester. During the last twenty years Professor Frederick H. Sears of the University of California has counted and classified more than 70,000 j stars.

ONLY HOUDINI GOULD ESCAPE ROHMER'S KNOT Creator of Dr. Fu Manchu Tells of His Own Most Embarrassing Moment. BY H. ALLEN SMITH United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, Feb. 26.-Sax Rohmer, the man who gave the world the shivers with his insidious Dr. Fu Manchu, is a rather ~hort Englishman with graying hair, a marked appearance of dignity and an extreme affability. He looks no mce sinister a person than Rudy Va.lee, Rohmer, who lives in Europe, will spend a week or two prowling around the speakeasies and gangland haunts of Manhattan, because he enjoys it and because it’s his business to keep abreast of the trend of internaitonal crime. Rohmer is one of the most rambling talkers ever to set foot on American soil. When interviewed he buzzed along about crime, spiritualism, Gordon gin, Egyptology, Chinese pirates, writing habits and whatnot. And, finally, he got around to the best story of them all—the story of his most embarrassing moment. No Way Out He used to start out writing a thriller with little or no idea how it was going to turn out. “I simply set about to get everything tied up in a horrible knot,” he explained, “and then I would bring in my detective and untie it.” Well, about five years ago Rohmer locked himself into his apartment (you should hear him call it a flat) overlooking Hyde park for purposes of concocting a hair raiser. He wrote about nine chapters and then found himself involved in an inextricable puzzle. He couldn’t figure a way out. He pondered and pondered his problem while the nine chapter?- lay idle. Then, of a sudden, he decided to give it up and in sort of a rage, tore the nine chapters up. In the meantime, and without much thought, he had sent a copy of the nine chapters to his American agents. Houdini to Rescue He, therefore, was greatly amazed when he got word that the story had been sold to a popular American magazine and that the first installment was to appear at once. He hopped a boat and hurried over. There was no saving the thing. The first chapter or two already had appeared in the magazine. There was nothing left for the master mind to do but sit down and finish the story. “I paced the floor in my hotel, sleeplesssly, trying to get the knot untangled,” he said. “I was the most desperate man in the world. “I kept writing chapters—working right behind the magazine’s printers—but the more I wrote the deeper in I got myself. “I was on the verge of ending it all by jumping out the window when my friend, Harry Houdini, who knew of my predicament, hit upon an idea for an ending to the story. Harry got himself out of many tight places but never as tight a place as he pulled me out of.”
