RUSSIAN TRADE ! POLICY OF U. S. RRANDEDFOLLY Democratic Floor Leader Declares Nation Tosses Chances Away. /.-f Srrlppi-Hottard Snctpaprr Alliance WASHINGTON, April 19.—With Us mm, factories, and ships idle, the United States is permitting propaganda to rob it of the greatest world market for the next twen-ty-five years—Russia— Democratic floor leader, Henry T. Rainey of Illinois, charged today. Representative Rainey recently returned from a personal tour of Russia, traveling alone, except for an interpreter, for 8,000 miles. He is convinced that America is committing a major folly in tossing away this great trade opportunity and permitting Germany to seize it. j "Other nations are seeking this j trade eagerly,” said Rainey. "There are, however, only two countries that produce what Russia wants — : Germany and the United States — producers of machinery and struc- j tural steel. Rrcause of our foolish ! policies, we r.-pidly are losing our | Russian trade.” Orders Drop Fast Rainey said that in the first; eleven months of 1930, Russia !• placed with us orders worth $107,747,000. In the same months of j 1931, these had dropped to $49,663,- j 000, a decrease of 54 per cent in one ! year. In 1930 we imported goods! from Russia worth $21,962,683. In ; 1931 we imported only $12,611,158 worth, a drop of 43 per cent. In 1930, he said, eighty steamers j flying the American flag left our j ports for Soviet Black sea ports. ' laden with full cargoes of machinery. In 1931 this number had. dropped 50 per cent, and so far this year not one steamer has left for | Russia with full cargo. ‘ Last September the papers here carried news that our steel industry j had cut wages 10 per cent,” Rainey said. "The next day the steel plants in Russia increased their wages 25 I per cent- and last week there was i another raise. "There is no unemployment in Russia. Factories there run day and j night full tilt in three shifts, stop- i ping only long enough to oil the machinery. Labor Is Free ‘ The charge of ‘forced labor’ in I Russia is not borne out by the facts,” Rainey said. “I talked with Ihe workers themselves, and found them as free as anywhere in the world. “They are moving from factory to factory by the tens of thousands. The labor commissar told me that labor turnover in Russia is 47 per cent. The trains literally were packed with moving workers.” Rainey said that the United States has nothing to fear either from Communism or from Russian competition. Our chief Russian imports, he recalled, are manganese, scarce here, and furs and caviar. “We never have imported from j Russia one-third as much as w'e; sold her,’’ he declared. "We have nothing to fear from Russian com- | petition for the next two genera- j tions, except in the world wheat trade and Russia will take that I from us in the next decade whether ; we recognize her or not. "In fifteen or twenty years, Rus- j sia w-ill have our share of the world ’ trade in dairy products. Lumber competition is not a menace yet. \ But Russia wants our machines. She considers them the best in the ; world. , Proper Credit Needed “One manufacturer here told me that with proper credit arrangements we could be selling Russia; annually between $700,000,000 and $800,000,000 worth of such manufac-! tured articles." Rainey said our financing of Germany enables her to take our Russian trade. Rainey said that when he left Russia by way of Odessa, workers were clearing the docks for the arrival of twenty German ships 1 loacd with structural steel and machinery, all of which represented orders formerly placed here and cancelled because of .the prohibitive! credit rates. Rainey was asked to explain the refusal to grant credits and recognition to Russia. "It is difficult to explain” he countered. "We certainly have less to fear from Communism than Germany, and Germany doesn’t fear contamination through trade and commerce. I think it is due to studied propaganda conducted by the ‘white’, or Czarist., Russians who have the largest colony here, next to Paris and Manchuria. This propaganda is well-financed and is assisted by (he Manganese people Another reason is that the American newspapers seem to print only the sensational things about Russia. We have certainly been misled. And it is costing us millions in money.” BAPTISTS WILL WAGE DRIVE FOR MEMBERS Federation Lavs Tlans for Intensive Campaign Throughout City. Plans for a more intensive membership campaign in Indianapolis and vicinity were made by the Fed- ' erated Baptist churches of Indianapolis at a meeting Monday night in the Southport Baptist church.

CONNOR'S FARCE IS NAUGHTY BUT NICE Sue Carol and Nick Stuart Put Each Other on the Pan When They Crack Jokes at Each Other at the Lyric. BY WALTER D. HICKMAN MY verdict of "Unexpected Husband,” a farce comedy by Barry Connors, comes under the head of naughty but nice. Things look bad for Perry Morrison and Dorothy Atwater when they wake up in bed together after both were soused the night before. The woolen underwear type of drama. "The Old Homestead” and "Uncle Toms Cabin.” has been shelved for a time by Charles Berkell at Keith s for what I call the B. V. D. comedy, because that is the wearing apparel of Philip Brandon as Perry for two acts of “Unexpected Husband.”

The playwright as usual lets the audience know everything is all right, but he lets a gun-carrying father of the girl 'played by Virginia Stevens) think everything is

WTong. But the audience k n ows better and those present laugh most of the time instead of blushing. This farce comedy is a. close cousin to “Strictly Dishonorable,” but not as wrfl written a play. Brandon puts on a realistic souse, and he is all confusion in talk and and attire in the bedroom scenes. Miss Stevens makes, Dorothy a

Milton Byron

sw’eet little southern girl. She plays the role nicely. I must admit that Johnny Furman is the most realistic bellboy I have seen on the stage in many a moon. He looks like he knows his business, even when it comes to undressing drunks in a hotel room. Bob Fay gets lots of laughs out of a newspaper reporter (not a realistic character, but a comedy one). Others in the cast are Dick Butler, William Pollard, James Leßoy, Beatrice Lieblee, William Maloney, Milton Byron and Jack King Davis. It is to laugh at Keith’s this week, where "Unexpected Husband” is holding out. >t it it MEETING SUE AND NICK IN PERSON The way that Sue Carol and Nick Stuart "carry on” and make each other the target for jokes, gave me the impression that these two people must hail from some place besides Hollywood Nick says to Sue, "And you still like jokes?” And Sue comes right back with, "Yes, but still like you the best.” There

nary. But Sue and Nick, who are married in private life, bring a charm of honesty and a nice sense of spoofing each other that is rare on the stage. And the result is mast comfortable audience reaction. Joe Termini is one of those eccentric musicians who is getting all mixed up with his violin, banjo and the like. He has a trick shirt front. He is a good hokum comedian. The best thing in "In Wrong” is the dancing of the three men and the barefoot toe dance of the girl. The rest of the act is just so so. The Harrington Sisters go in for harmony. Their best number is a youngster's conception of what a gold digger is. The Three Lamoures are acrobatic in nature. I missed the first act. The movie is Joan Bennett and John Boles in “Careless Lady.” Now' at the Lyric. a tt n Other theaters today offer: "Girl Crazy,” at the Circle: "The Misleading Lady.” at the Indiana: "The Crowd Roars,” at the Apollo; "But the Flesh Is Weak.” at the Palace, and burlesque at the Mutual. a a a Neighborhood theaters tonight offer: "The Silent Witness” and

It will replace "The Misleading Lady,” which will have its final showing Tuesday. Based on the famous story which was famous as a novel, as a George M. Cohan stage play, as a silent movie, and now anew alltalking Paramount picture, "The Miracle Man” deals with the reformation of a gang of crooks by a faith-healer living in a small town. The crooks plan to exploit the healer, but the aged man’s strange and remarkable power brings them to a bewildered halt. Sylvia Sidney has the leading feminine role which was played years ago by Betty Compson. Chester Morris appears opposite her as the leader of the crooks. John Wray, remembered as Himmelstoss in "All Quiet,” impersonates the famous Lon Chaney role of the fake cripple known as The Frog. Hobart Bosworth appears as the "Miracle Man,” and the remainder of the cast includes Irving Pichel, Robert Coogan, Jackie Searl, Lloyd Hughes, Boris Karloff, Ned Sparks and Virginia Bruce. "The Miracle Man” will open Wednesday at the Indiana with a supporting program of short films and an organ solo by Lester Huff

THE NEXT CREAT ® INVENTION • WHAT THt WORLD HEEDS MOST This is another of a series of short interviews in which famous men eivc their opinions on what the world needs as its next great invention. BY S. M. KINTNER, Viec-I*resident, Westinghouse Electric and Manufacturing Company (Coovright. 1932. bv Science Service! PITTSBURGH, April 19. —The question of the next gjeat invention somewhat suggests the statement of the Irishman that he wished he knew' where he was going to die, because if he did he would not go there. This is the way it is W'ith us. If we knew what the next great invention was going to be, we would start on it right now. Most anybody that you would ask this question w'Ould say, "television,” “air conditioning” or some other development that now offers immediate hope of such accomplishment. However, in addition to those, one might look forward to biophysical accomplishments in the study of the human body and better control of diseases relating thereto: control* of insects by radiations, or they might even think of power transmission by radio means, along with other possible great inventions that will follow the discovery of means for producing and detecting ether waves in the now unknown regions of wave lengths. In thinking over past inven- | tions, I can not escape the feeling that has so frequently come to me, of how little w r e appreciated the need for many of them until after they w'ere here, that is, the world to us appeared just as complete before as after these inven--1 tions were made.

Senator Harris of Georgia Dies in Washington By United Press WASHINGTON. April 19 Expressions of regret and sympathy poured in today upon the family of Senator William J. Harris <Dem:, Ga.), who died late Mortday at the age of 64, after fourteen years of service in congress. Harris had been ill for two months from complications of heart disease intestinal disorders and bladder trouble. Although he rallied slightly at times, physicians agreed last week that the senator could not recover. The body will be taken to Cedartown, Ga.. for burial, after funeral services in the senate chamber Wednesday noon. Tailoring Shop Looted Clothing valued at S2OO was obtained by burglars Monday night in the cleaning and tailoring shop of Joseph Rubens at 805 South Meridian street, police were informed. Entrance was gained through a rear window.

DELINQUENT TAX ESTIMATE HIGH Will Reach $20,000,000 in State, Irwin Predicts. Estimate that the total of delinquent taxes in the state will be $20,000,000 by the end of this year was made today by Will G. Irwin, Columbus, president of the Indiana Association for Tax Justice. Earlier i this year, he said, officials had estimated the total would be $14,000,000. There will be other losses in revenue. Irwin declares, such as reduced sums from levies on gasoline and from automobile license fees. Decrease of 25 per cent from automobile licenses has been estimated by state officials. Irwin's figures are based on replies to questionnaires sent to county treasurer* throughout the | state. "Only one step will avert this ; appalling deficit of $20,000,000,” Ir- ; win asserts. “That is the common | i sense move of cutting total expen- ; j ditures that much during the rest

of the year. This Is not impossible, because *20.000.000 represents only 10 per cent of the total public budget of $230,000,000 for Indiana this year.” MISSIONARY INSTITUTE TO BE HELD MAY 2-4 Broadway M. E. Church Will Be Scene of Annual Session. Third annual interdenominational missionary education institute will be held May 2 to 4 at the Broadway Methodist church. Institute chairman will be the Rev. Willard R. Jewell, director of religious and missionary education for the Indiana Baptist convention. The Rev. A. H.
