VITAL CHANGES MADE IN RUSS FIVE-YEAR PLAN Program as It Nears Finish Altered in Many Ways From Original One. Thl i thf fourth artirl? of > ooriM ***’ first and arrond fl*-yo*r piano of tho Snvirt torornmont. BY EUGENE LYONS I nltod rrraa Staff Corrropondrnt MOSCOW, April 7.—Prophecy in quotable type Ls a. dangerous business, but one prediction can be made with a minimum risk: Next, December, perhaps even in November, in connection with the fifteenth anniversary of the Bolshevik revolution, the Soviet government will tell the world with all hs genius for dramatic presentation that the five-year plan has been successfully completed in four, more exactly, four and a quarter years. The plan as it stands today, embodied in the control figures for the current year, is related only roughly to the one undertaken in October, 1923. Not only every year, but every month, has brought radical alterations. The outstanding feature of the tvholc plan unquestionably is the startling spread of collectivized farming, to the point where extinction of private agriculture in a year or two seems inevitable. Collectivization Is First From the angle of ultimate purposes of the revolution, the establishment of a real Socialist commonwealth, collectivization is the most decisive single fact. From the angle of immediate development, it has forced a thorough revision of the plan by necessitating vastly increased agricultural machinery building and expansion of other industries upon which modern farming is dependent. Collectivization overshadows all other achievements of the last years. Indeed, by affecting food ■' applies it impinged more directly than any other single factor upon evreyday life of the Soviet citizenry. Yet collectivization was not by the original plan. Unemployment Wiped Out The first published program called for only 9.6 per cent of the farming households collectivized by 1933 instead of the 75 per cent scheduled for the end of 1932; for 35.000.000 acres under collectivized cultivation 1 instead of the 260.000.000 acres now announced. Another accomplishment is the ; elimination of unemployed. But that, too, was not foreseen by the plan. It foresaw a reduction of idleness, but did not promise to abolish it. Two million new workers were I drawn into Soviet industry last | year and another 1.200.000 must, be ; added before the plan is brought to a close. Agricultural machinery for 960,000,000 rubles will be built in the last year instead of the 610,000,000 rubles’ worth originally scheduled. Where 55,000 tractors were indicated, 83,000 will probably be taken off the belts. The railroads will have to carry 320,000,000 tons of freight instead oi the expected 280,000,000 tons. The largest single enterprise, the Mag-nitogorsk-Kuznetsk iron-steel-and-coal complex, was not expected at all. Results Not Gratifying The straying from the plan, however, is not always as gratifying to Soviet leaders as these. Projects stressed in the first draft have been forgotten. Transportation needs have been tragically underestimated. The mistake hampered work at every step. Alluring promises of ampler living standards emphasized in 1929 are soft-pedaled now. In fact, several of the results of the plan, extolled as great victories, are thinly veiled defeats. Generally speaking the plan will be fulfilled insofar as its physical volume is concerned, assuming that this year's figures are realized. If the 36 per cent increase in total production over 1931 is attained, the volume indicated for the whole plan will have been achieved with some margin to spare.

BY BEN STERN WHILE the column is on the subject of the organization fight in the Republican ranks in Marion county, it would not be amiss to suggest that Coffin's own organization Is split. And there also are rumors that leaders of the movement to fight Cap are Harry Dunn, erstwhile county auditor, and George Snider, county commissioner from the Third district, both at one time his bosom friends. Main cogs in this group, which so far have not gone to the hypocritical extreme of flaunting the banner of “refdrm.” are said to be Omer Hawkins, angry because his one-time commander won't slate him for sheriff, and Frank Cones, 1930 G. O. P. nominee for treasurer, who again is making a bid for the nomination. They tell me that Cap made a trip out to Hawkins’ home the other morning and got out of his car just as Omer finished milking (farmers please take note). Cap exchanged a few pleasantries which evidently fell flat and were to no effect, for Omer sulked and sucked his thumb and Coffin left, disappointed, but not without hope of winning the fair-haired boy back into the fold.

Evidently Omer heard that Cap presided over the meeting which took away from under his very eye the Washington township organization upon which Hawkins depended for the backbone of his sheriff campaign. Os course, they also say that Omer is at sword's points with George Winkler, one-time sheriff and now federal alcohol permit inspector. His friends charge that it was George who brought Orel Chitwood into the sheriff race—they don’t, however, say anything about the latter’s contribution to the cause or whence came the money. Meanwhile, the boys who hang around headquarters. 305 Inland Bank building, are confident that Cap will retain hold of the organization. They claim that 194 of the 331 precinct committeemen are unopposed and he needs only 166 to retain control. 8 8 8 It may be true, as reports say, that fifty of the 194 are haywire on Cap, but he expects enough of his men to be re-elected to continue him at the steering wheel. Ed Hart and Ralph Gregg are being talked of for the chairmanship, j but what difference does it make j who the chairman may be, as long i as Wayne Emmelman is retained as i secretary? He is the chairman for Cap. and, to be fair, Wayne does a good job of it. By the way, Cap insists that he is divorced completely from politics j and won’t have anything to do with the primary, although “all the boys are asking me to step in.”

NOVELISTS ordinarily treat love as something romantic and delightful—a pleasing emotion that projects two people into each other’s arms and sets them marveling at what a fine place the world can be. Now and then, though, a writer more hard-boiled than most will describe a different kind of love; a mad flame that is more curse than blessing, that wrecks lives instead of perfecting them, that brings a mixture of ecstasy and utter misery. You’ll find that kind of love story in “The Rats of Norway,” by J. Keith Winter. The scene is an English school for boys, and there are two sets of lovers; an instructor who falls in love with the headmaster’s wife, and another instructor who becomes entangled with the young lady music teacher. The first two are completely destroyed by their love. They can not make each other happy, and they know it—but they can’t leave each other alone, either, and they wind up in a catastrophe that smashes their little world entirely. The other instructor takes love more lightly—only to discover that the music teacher doesn’t. Not deeply moved himself, he learns when it is too late that he has ruined the girl’s whole life: and the mere fact that his intentions and conduct are both irreproachable doesn't help matters a bit. Mr. Winter can write exceedingly well. Proof of it lies in the fact that he can make an essentially unimportant tale seem, while you are reading it,, deeply significant. It doesn't amotint to much, but it holds I your interest . This book is published bv Doubleday, Doran so Cos., at $2.50. Veterans’ Chief to Visit City Indiana department and auxiliary. United Spanish War Veterans, will be hosts Friday to George R. Lunn, national commander-in-chief, Schenectady. N. Y., and Mrs. Florence H. Becker, national auxiliary president.

HEALTHY WAR VETERAHS GET COLOSSAL SUM Able-Bodied Men Are Paid Millions, While Widows Draw Pitiful Balm. (Continued From Page 1) money from the government in regular monthly payments because of World war service. This is more than twice the number of the army's wounded and dead from all causes in the war. It means that one of every six men of the 4,000.000 in World war service already is on the government relief pay roll. Add relatives and pensioners to this number and the total comes to 1,300,000 persons getting bounty at the expense of the rest of the taxpayers. Great Britain's much-criticised dole had about 148,000 beneficiaries last year and total cost of the experiment since 1920 was $525,000,000. A former soldier, to get relief, no longer needs to prove that a physical difficulty was connected with his war service. On July 3, 1930, congress enacted a law providing that those suffering from any malady disabling them permanently, should receive 25 per cent or more regular payments. Perhaps the injury of such a person was suffered in a taxicab smash or an industrial accident for which he gets state workmen’s compensation. It makes no difference. He is entitled to from sl2 to S4O a month because he was once a soldier. The national legislators, under urging by the veterans’ lobby, have thrown open all government hospitals to former army and navy men for any treatment they need. All a man has to do is to show some kind of service and he is entitled to have his tonsils removed or a head cold treated at the expense of the United States. Demand for this free medical

service is mounting so rapidly that the veterans’ administration, which handles all relief for soldiers, will have to build millions of dollars’ worth of new hospitals and hire hundreds of physicians and nurses to meet it. Although the charge frequently is made that a large proportion of the relief funds is frittered away in administrative salaries and costs, Investigation failed to substantiate this. Brigadier-General Frank T. Hines, director of the veterans’ administration, cut his administrative costs last year to four and one-third cents on every dollar spent. In ,1925 it was more than 5 cents. These cost reductions have been made despite the continued addition of functions by congress to the administration until now General Hines is managing a branch of the federal government which spends more money by far each year than the combined army and navy de-

It has legislated against competent medical opinion on what constitutes disability. It has made cash grants despite economic advice concerning the nation’s inability to pay for them. By legislative decree it has declared that disabilities were incurred during the World war when they were not. Next: The story of fifteen billion dollars—who got it, and why. .
