HARD WORK IS ENJOYMENT TO SOVIET WOMEN Moscow Miss Delights in Running Steam Rollers, Building Railroads. The I'nitfd Pre* preient* herewith the second of s series on Russia, written bv Jack Howard, Yale under* graduate, attached for the sumirer to the United Press Paris bureau. This article deals with ths status of women in Russia, showing how they are taking their place alongside men In the actual hard labor of building anew Industrial state. BY JACK HOWARD United Press Staff Correspondent (Copyright. 1931. by United Press! PARIS, Aug. 19.—The Moscow miss never has to worry about what to do with her afternoons. An afternoon at the theater Is out of the question, for there are neither matinees nor matinee idols. A hunt from one end of Moscow to the other would reveal no dancing place at tea time. Five hours of chaufTeuring on a steam roller, conducting a clanging street car, or laying another block of paving stones may be her afternoon’s amusement, for the emancipation of the Russian woman has been completed. Now, it appears, she is going to start doing all ot much of the work. Next to the amount of work being done by women, the most surprising thing to a foreigner is the type of work in which a Russian maid indulges. Enjoy Wielding a Pick Buxom peasant women, to whom work on the farms of their native Caucusus is drudgery, actually enjoy wielding a pick and shovel on some construction enterprise or railroad. Ten hours’ barefooted track-walk-ing under a broiling sun is accomplished with all the enthusiasm you might expect to find in a group of picnickers. Any kind of work in which machinery plays a part seems particularly to attract the young women out to help prove that two plus two can equal five. In Moscow where the reconstruction of the streets is being carried on with (for Russia) amazing speed, the greater part of the operators of the American steam rollers are young women. That Would Be Utopia These young Amazons handle their machines with all the skill and enthusiasm of a man at the helm of a racing yacht. The more maneuvering the prouder they are. A young Russian woman would be in paradise—a Red paradise—if a concrete mixer were intrusted to her. When it comes to the traffic situation in Russia, the women are* the only chauffeurs who seem to realize that it is possible to drive a car under sixty miles an hour. Unlike the men, they have discovered that most cars are equipped with brakes for a definite purpose. Merely driving a car is net enough, for the women who have j gone in for mechanics are capable of applying their knowledge. Even on Police Force Most of the Soviet effective looking police are women whose muscular equipment suits them admirably for any Russian variety of the "third degree” that may become necessary. They still retain one feminine touch, however, they still wear skirts. A look at some of the buxom cops sets you wondering what police brutality might be like in the land of Lenin. In the rush of construction and repair work being done all over Moscow, many women bricklayers and carpenters may be seen hard at work. May Enter Frofesssions Probably the time will come w’hen women will be tossing red hot rivets from one Russian steel girder to another. There is somethingvery business-like in the attitude of a female Muscovite construction foreman which suggests that w T ork is, after all, about the best thing than can be done during working hours. Not all Russian women have turned to manual labor as a means of displaying their talents. Many have entered professions such as medicine where they are treated on equal terms with their male fellow workers. Denistry has proved a popular field for the women, and many a Muscovite molar has stopped throbbing and aching thanks to some young woman’s skill. An unusually large number of women are employed in the banks and offices in work which W'ould appear to be a man’s job. In such work also the women seem to have more initiative and determination than the average male worker. Know They’re On Trial They seem to realize that, in the eyes of the rest of the world at least, they are on trial and they are bound to prove that there are few- things for which they are not suited. The Russian theater also has attracted a large number of women. They may be found working in all the various phases of theatrical production. No matter whether a woman is working with her brains or her hands, she feels in Russia that she is playing a real part in a great enterprise which depends for success on the co-operation of thousands of people like herself. Feeling thus about the situation it is easy for women workers to keep up their interest and enthusiasm naturally. Next: Shopping in Moscow has its problems.

Emergency Calls Flashed on Air by Dispatcher at ‘Mike/ One finger controls the crime of Indianapolis. One lever which is operated by that finger chases down burglars, watches prowlers, stops martial spats, dog fights and hauls in drunks to police headquarters. And the man with that finger and at that lever is C. A. Beeson, radio operator, at the police radio station in Willard park (shown in the upper photo). When Beeson’s eight-hour shift is over there’s another operator and another finger that substitutes at the control wheel of a city's crime. But the one lever always does but one thing, and that is opening the circuit so that Beeson and the other operators can tell police squad cars where to go on emergency calls. Captain Relays Call Police chauffeur Cy Macy is shown in the lower photo receiving a call in the “hot-shot” car at police headquarters. Dispatching a car to a gang-fight is as easy as getting a cup of coffee out of a New'York automat. The call on the gang-fight is received over the telephone at police headquarters by the Gamewell operator. He transfers the call to the office of the captain of police on duty. The captain picks up his "mike” and opening the circuit re- ] lays the call on the air and through 1 the radio station, where Beeson is on duty. Beeson repeats the captain's instructions to squad cars. System Change Studied The result is that every order given to police cars by radio is repeated twice and sometimes three and four times. The police captain gives the first order and Beeson and his co-operators do the repeating. It is planned to change the radio system shortly and relieve the police captain from the duty of giving the “mike” orders by placing a dispatcher at police headquarters. Although a dispatcher may be used Beeson and his operators will continue to have the last word in repeating calls over the radio.

REVISION OR CHAOS, IS WAR DEBT EDICT

Political Bombshell Exploded by Experts of Ten Banking Nations. By United Press WASHINGTON, Aug. 19.—The ten leading banking nations of the world today faced squarely the issue of German reparations revision. The alternative of revision or world economic chaos was put up to the ten governments by a committee of experts headed by an American known to favor full cancellation — Albert H. Wiggin of New York. , This political bombshell, in the form of a broad hint which actually comes close to taking on the nature of a bona fide proposal, was not entirely unexpected. In Washington, at least, all the informed talk, not for publication, since President Hoover put forward his one-year moratorium plan, has been to the effect that the moratorium was only a step, but a very long one, in the direction of general

'Hie wiggin committee’s sugges- ! tiori—so put because the committee; was not authorized to make any; proposals of a-political nature—ex- ! pressed concretely, however, the nebulous undertone of comment go- j ing the rounds in the capital. It was the first suggestion of the sort put forward by any official group since the Young plan, and j was viewed here as far more radical j in its implications than the Yo-.ng! plan, in view of international po- ; litical and economic developments since then. The suggestion, however, is only a first and very tentative step toward revision or cancellation. Parliaments have the final say, and that j say, informed circles here predicted, will have a decidedly political tone. Whether the detached views of economic experts can be made to sway the political minds of legislators here and abroad is a matter of considerable doubt.

ROOSEVELT IS FORGIN6 WATER ISSUEJO FORE New York Governor Pushes Hoover’s Hand Over Power Development. By United Pres* WASHINGTON, Aug. 19—The issue of public development of w r ater power was drawn sharply today between President Hoover and Governor F’ranklin D. Roosevelt of New York, leading contestant for the Democratic presidential nomination in 1932. Roosevelt is an ardent advocate of government development of power resources. Hoover long has opposed it. The two were brought into direct conflict on .the question by publication of a letter from Roosevelt to Hoover, concerning negotiations between the United States and Canada on the St. Lawrence waterway project. Roosevelt made the letter public in Albany after the White House for days had denied it had been received and had refused to disclose its content. Reiterates N. Y. View The letter reiterated New York state’s view that it should be represented in the negotiations because of its plans to build a great stateowned power project on the St. Lawrence. Roosevelt asked Hoover, in effect, if it were true the federal government planned to exclude the state from representation by conducting the negotiations through secret diplomatic channels. The power angle of the situation was emphasized in a communication from Frank P. Walsh, chairman of the New York power authority, which Roosevelt included in his letter to the President. Walsh said: “We must repeat* with definite emphasis that we adhere to the belief that a representative of New York should take part in the negotiations in view of the fact that state-owned power development is equally involved with the navigation plans of the federal go\jprnment.” Awaiting Direct Reply Roosevelt then added: “In view of this whole matter, in which I concur, I would greatly appreciate it if you would be good enough to advise me of the status of negotiations between the United States and Canada relating to drafting of a treaty covering the development of the St. Lawrence river in the international section for navigation and power purposes.” The state department two days

OPEN AIR CHURCH HELD IN CLERMONT

Congregation of More Than 300 Attend Services on Sunday. Park at the curb or—drive right up on the church lawn. Sit in your car and keep cool and comfortable while listening to the sermon and enjoying the music. That’s what 300 and more of the Rev. John Walton’s congregation are doing Sunday nights during open air services at the Clermont Methodist Episcopal church. “We try to obtain the services of good singers and orchestras as a part of our programs. People like good music,” Mr. Walton declares. “I use modern methods in my evangelistic work.” He believes in the arresting of drunken drivers. Recently, he followed two drunken drivers to Indianapolis and then called the sheriff’s radio car which was on the job in a few minutes. Mr. Walton is active in legal work as well as in the spiritual field. Attorney, deputy prosecutor and investigator in the state drunken drivers department—he has been all three. WINKLER PLEA HEARD Gangster Wanted in Two States Prefers Trial in Illinois. By United Press LANSING, Mich., Aug. 19.—Gus Winkler, wanted on bank robbery charges in both Nebraska and Illinois, prefers the court room justice of the latter, according to his attorney. With both states fighting for custody, Charles W. Gore, Winkler's attorney, told Governor Wilber M. Brucker his client asked only that he be given to Illinois officers. Brucker will announce his decision Thursday. Winkler, hurt in an automobile accident, is in a hospital at St. Joseph.

ago made public a brief reply from Acting Secretary W. R. Castle, to whom Hoover referred the letter. Castle said simply: “All that it is possible to say now is that no negotiations of any kind are going on.” Roosevelt in Albany said he considered Castle’s note “personal” and intimated he still was awaiting a direct answer from the President. Roosevelt’s aim apparently is to force Hoover to carry out the government’s original plan for conducting the St. Lawrence negotiations through a treaty commission on which New York would have a member.

PAFAL WTO END Pope Pius, Mussolini Will Negotiate for Peace. By United Press ROME, Aug. 19.—Pope Pius and Premier Mussolini immediately will start conversations designed to settle the Italy-Vatican dispute, it was learned today. Feeling was believed to have subsided on both sides, and it was believed an agreement might be reached by early next month. The controversy started in connection with the Catholic laymen’s organization, Azione Catolica, which the Fascists accused of political activity and sought to suppress. British Cabinet Ponders Crisis By United Press LONDON, Aug. 19.—Members of the labor cabinet met today to consider the government's emergency plans to meet the present financial crisis and balance the budget. A lengthy session of the ministers was expected.

An Open Letter to the People of Indianapolis! I came to this city at least seventy-five years ago, before the oldest inhabitant—or, so it seems to me. I’m probably the oldest man alive. I knew Lincoln, Grant and the others. I fought at Bull Run, Chickamauga. I can prove it by the cannon ball in my leg. And now a lot of these young, yellow bellied, white livered skunks are threatening my life if I tell what I saw that night. Well, I didn’t follow Grant for nothin’. I didn’t see your forefathers and their brothers go down before battlefire to save this country for a lot. of gangsters—racketeers—leeches. No sir. Threaten me. To hell with them. I saw who fired that gun. I see him now as I saw him then. I’ll talk. I’ll tell. I’ll offer my life again if necessary to keep America safe for my grandchildren and their children’s children. SATURDAY AND ALL NEXT WEEK I’LL TELL THE WHOLE INSIDE STORY AT THE LYRIC THEATER. I WANT EVERY MAN, WOMAN AND CHILD IN INDIANAPOILS TO COME DOWN. THE STAR WITNESS

CARMODY AGAIN SUPREME HEAD IN KJF C, Grand Rapids Attorney Is Re-Elected to Post at Annual Parley. BY STEVE RICHARDS United Pres* Staff Correspondent FRENCH LICK, Aug. 19.—Martin H. Carmody, Grand Rapids attorney, today was re-elected supreme knight of the Knights of Columbus at the forty-ninth annual convention. By unanimous vote Carmody was retained in the office he has held for two terms of two years each since his first election in 1927. All other officers were re-elected. They were: Deputy supreme knight, John F. Martin, Green Bay, Wis.; supreme secretary, William J. McGinley. New Haven, Conn.; supreme treasurer, David J. Callahan, New Haven, Conn.; supreme advocate, Luke E. Hart, St. Louis; supreme chaplain, the Rev. John J. McGivney, Bridgeport, Conn.; supreme physician, Dr. Edward F. Fahey, St. Paul. Minn., and supreme warden, David F. Supple. San Francisco. The delegates have yet to vote for the supreme directors, but it was indicated the present board would remain in office. Washington appeared the strongest bidder for the fiftieth convention next year, despite efforts of the Los Angeles delegation to hold the meeting in California at the time of the Olympic games. It was suggested that next year's meeting, if held at Washington, could become a part of the national observance of the 209th birthday anniversary of George Washington. Selection of the convention city, however, wall be left to the directors, who will act after the convention closes. The committee on resolutions was expected to introduce some 125 proposals to the convention late today, with vote by delegates scheduled for Thursday's session. It is understood that the vote merely would ratify the recommendations of the committee.
