GRAFTERS ARE SHOT IN RUSSIA

Famed Engineer Says Soviet Is Building Great Nation

BY ROBERT TALLEY NKA Mrriee Writer CLEVELAND. O. May 3,. Through the eve* of Colonel Hugh L. Cooper, one of the world's greatest waterpower engineers, who has spent six years on a 8100,000 000 job in Soviet Russia and admits he still la opposed to Communism. Bolshevism. Socialism. rheumatism and all oth*r i*m*.“ Russia today look* like thi*: One hundred *ixtv million people. only a generation removed from virtual serfdom, are building up now what mm* day will be the strongest nation in either Europe or Asia The first ‘ five-year plan” is 80 per cent complete and is to be followed bv another, the two totaling thirty billion dollars The supreme desire of the Russian people is to improve their standard of living, now only about one-sixth as high as that of the United State* if measured bv s material yardstick In thl* ambition, the Russians are making great progress. “I don’t believe In Communism. Bolshevism. Socialism, rheumatism or any other Ism that Is contrary to common sense with respect to human nature.” Colonel Cooper said in an interview here, “but regardless of that, the Soviets are getting ahead." mum THE famous engineer who built the Wilson Dam at Muscle Shoals, the great dam across the Mississippi river at Keokuk, la., heightened the Assuan Dam on the Nile and developed Niagara Falls’ waterpower, now is completing the great Dnieper river project for the Soviet government. It. was begun six years ago and represents an out lav of SIOO.000.000. The Russians." Colonel Cooper said, “are among the most honest and industrious people in the world—and I ought to know, because I have 25.000 of them working for me on the Dnieper river. At least, 2.500 of these arc women, and they work even harder than the men. The women do all sorts of work—they are engineers, draughtsmen, supervisor* and even policemen and common laborers. “The magnitude of the human sacrifice that is being endured daily by Russia's millions for the hope of better day* is amazing. "Their standards of living are low now, but they are slaving for the sake of their ideals and the promise of the future." a a a IN hu big project involving $100,000,000. Colonel Cooper savs he never has encountered a single case of graft by a Russian. “Grafting isn't so popular over there." he explained, "because any one who tries to graft is shot by a firing squad. “If we shot all the grafters in the United States, we would have to reclaim land to get enough room for their graves.” Colonel Cooper is president of the American-Russian Chamber of Commerce and is interested Just now in trying to promote trade between the two nations. He does not advocate formal recognition of Russia “until the mountains of misunderstanding have been leveled in both countries." But Colonel Cooper does urge that, this country accept an official proposal from Russia for a round-table world trade conference. mum Mr PHK American people will A wake up some day to find that Russia has become the strongest nation in either Europe or Asia.” he declares. "The big question we should consider now is whether we shall be on good terms with such a great nation and profit thereby, or whether we shall throw' away our opportunity.” The Soviet* have purchased $700,000,000 worth of products from American firms and have never defaulted on a single dollar. Colonel Cooper asserts. Conversely. American imports from Russia during the same time have been only about a fifth as much as our exports. Trade with Russia is handicapped by lack of credit facilities. Because of the relations between the two countries. Russian paper can not be discounted readily and orders suffer because many manufacturers do not have sufficient capita! to meet these conditions. With credit barrier* removed. Colonel Cooper ssv*. AmericanRussian trade would make vast increases. a a a COLONEL COOPER Is a p*isonel friend of Stalin, (he Soviet, dictator, whom he describe* as “a marvelously square, clean-minded man." I know Stalin well, and even if I don't concur with his ideas I think he is a great man," Cooper said. ”It ia a pity that Americans do not know him better."

There s No Fool-Proof Way to Pick Mushrooms pjy Scitnet Service NEW YORK. May 30.—The public s desire for a foolproof rule by which to distinguish an edible mushroom from a poisonous one is doomed to unfulfillment. Dr. Fred J. Seaver, curator of the New York botanical garden, said in a lecture here Friday night. "There is no such rule,” he stated. "One must learn to know the mushrooms and to distinguish them as you would your friends from your enemies." Dr. Seaver said that to the mycologist, or student of fungi, there was no significance in terms "toadstool" and “mushroom." • A mushroom is an edible toadstool or a toadstool is a poisonous mushroom, whichever way one may wish to put it." With the aid of more than 100 colored lant'- n slides. Dr .Seaver gave ama !a urs an introduction to the fungi, the group of plants to which mushrooms belong. Fungi are characterized by absence of green color. They are able to grow without sunlight, but unable to manufacture their own food as are the higher plants. Fungi, therefore, are dependent on other organisms for their nutriment. "They are the scavengers’ and the pirates' of the plant world." Dr. Seaver stated. " scavengers when they feed upon dead matter, and pirate*' when they attack living organisms, a* they often do. Appearing, aa they do suddenly in out-of-the-way places, they have come to be looked upon with suspicion and surrounded with all sort* of superstition."
