DELAY TO COST U. S. DECADES OF REDS' TRADE Vast Expansion of Next Five Years to Fix Soviet’s Buying Habits. BY WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS Srrtppii-Howard Foreign Editor WASHINGTON, Aug. 25,—Unless the United States acts to open up trade channels with Russia before the second five-year plan gets well under way, it was learned authoritatively today, the doors of the Soviet Union will close against American products for decades to come. The reason, It was explained, is of a decidedly practical order, and has nothing to do with any resentment Russians may feel against the hesitancy at Washington to extend recognition. Russia simply has a job to do furnishing her house, and if these furnishings can not be bought in America they will be bought elsewhere. It merely is a matter of business. Russia, it was observed, is now about where the United States was in the fifties. She is at the threshold of an era of stupendous expansion. Billhins to Be Expended Literally tens of billions of dollars are to be expended on railroads, harbors, power projects, road building, flood control, irrigation, electrication and so on. Standards and specifications, now being adopted, will be follow'ed probably for generations to ceme, If American railroad practices are introduced into Russia, for example, American locomotives, rails, replacements, bridges and rolling stock will become standard. This means a rich market for decades. But for the fact that Canada long ago adopted American standards and specifications to a large extent, the British would have been able to supplant the United States almost entirely as a result of the conference at Ottawa. As it was, they only partially succeeded. Chance for “Ground Floor” Similarly if Russia industrializes herself on the American plan she would continue to buy in America indefinitely. Other countries w’ould find it next to impossible to oust America from her preferred position. On the other hand, Germany, Britain and other countries now are attempting to get in on the ground floor. In the field of transportation alone the second five-year plan calls for 18,750 miles of new railroad; 7,000 locomotives; 2,000 electric freight engines; 1.000 steam engines; 260,000 freight cars; 50,000 passenger cars, and 5,700,CK)0 tons of steel rail. Water transportation facilities, on which $644,000,000 was spent in the first five-year plan, will be more than tripled. Vast canal projects, irrigation and hydro-electrification plans are to be undertaken. Long stretches of railway are to be electrified. Lack of Credit Facilities Thousands of miles of highway are to be constructed and the $707,000.000 spent on automobile transport during the last four years will be exceeded by far in the next half decade. Airlines are to be increased from 31,000 miles, now in operation, to nearly 190,000, for which an armada of commercial plants will have to be acquired. For these and other projects, the writer is assured, Russia has a strong preference for American materials. Tens of thousands of American workers could be employed indefinitely on jobs for the Soviet Union. Lack of credit facilities, due to a total absence of any trade, or other understanding with Russia, was cited as blocking the road.

THREATENS OUSTER OF POSTMASTER-GENERAL Pennsylvania Lawmaker Demands Parcel Post Rate Revision. F\l United rret* SOUTH BEND. Aug. 25.—The Shannon congressional committee went eastward today for hearings in New York in September after hearing a threat of ouster of Postmas-ter-General Walter Brown if he refuses to readjust parcel post rates. Representative Robert Rich (Rep., Pa.), made the threat when the committee terminated its three-day session. He said he would ask for congressional action in December. With his colleague. Representative Samuel B. Pettengill. South Bend, hp listened while E. L. Oliver. Cincinnati, accused the entire United States postoffiee department of indulging in "cut-throat" competition with private express firms. Oliver contended that the parcel post system was operated at an annual loss of $20,000,000 and making up the deficit with taxes. He cited the 1912 law mandating the post master-general to revise the rate to cover cost of operation.

BEAUTY KILLS FOR ENVY

Wife Slays ‘Big Shot’ Who Chose Rival

Did Chicago gangsters, preying on the primal instinct of jealousy, use Mrs. Dorothy Poliak, 26 (upper left), as their tool to bring about the killing of Joseph Poliak (right), wealthy bootleg king? Police believe they goaded her with stories of her

This is the fourth of a series of six daily stories, detailing glamourous romancse that have marked true love triangles of 1932. a subject made timely-by the three-cornered Libby Holman-Smith Rcynolds-“Ab" Walker tragedy in North Carolina. B\j ~S FA Service THROUGH every stratum of society—from movie queens to evangelists, from millionaires to bootleggers—run the treacherous cross-currents of three-cornered love. Often they sweep some married craft on the rocks of divorce, occasionally they result in a spicy alienation-of-affections suit for a huge sum to heal a wounded, heart, sometimes they terminate in grim tragedy with its resultant murder trial. No layer of life —high or low—seems to be immune. In North Carolina, Mrs. LibbyHolman Reynolds and “Ab" Walker await trial on charges of murdering Smith Reynolds, heir to the Reynolds tobacco millions. At the other end of the social scale, Mrs. Dorothy Poliak, called “Chicago's most beautiful slayer,” awaits trial for killing her bootlegger husband because of her alleged jealousy over "the other woman.” The case of this 26-year-old self-made widow offers a good example of how love affairs can become just as tangled in the underworld as elsewhere. Chicago police lean to the theory that underworld leaders, eager to be rid of her middle-aged husband, Joseph Poliak, stockyards "alky" king, goaded young Mrs. Poliak with st-ories of his un--faithfulness to the point where she put a bullet through his brain. a a a MODISHLY clad in the same dress which she donned for her husband's funeral (black flat crepe, touched off with bows of crisp white organdy), Mrs. Poliak sits in her cell alternately sheding tears over "Poor Jo,” deploring the jail's lack of finger-wav-ing facilities and wondering what dress to wear on her next appearance in court. "I shouldn't have shot poor Jo,” she sighed contritely, sweeping the grim, white interior of the women's quarters with her penitent eyes. "It was a dirty trick, and I'm sorry. "Os course, Jo beat me up all the time during the last year and a half. And he was jealous and moody. “And he wouldn't take me out. And he had a violent temper. And all the time he was carrying on with that other woman. And ” She halted her recital to ask if everybody had heard how the "other woman." Mrs. Julia Cebulski, wife of one of the late bootlegger’s "alky" drivers and mother of two small children, had visited the mortuary chapel the morning of the funeral and requested the undertaker to raise the glass of the $1,500 hammered silver casket she she could “kiss Jo goodbye." a a a NO film actress ever enacted the role of murderess for love to better advantage. As you watch her daintily daub away her tears, it is easy to understand why a

crowd estimated at from 5.000 to 8,000 pushing, laughing, disputing persons had attended her husband's funeral for a glimpse of hpr. Nor was it difficult to vision her trying to throw herself into his grave as the casket, blanketed by lilies bearing a card, “From His Beloved Wife,” slowly disappeared into the ground. Not since a succession of susceptible juries exonerated ing strens as Beulah May Annan and Belva Gaertner and Cora May Orthwein of shooting their sweethearts has Chicago beheld such a combination of screen beauty and ability. For the brunet widow, the murder of her husband, was only the beginning of another chapter in her hectic life. If she escapes the penalty exacted of homelier spouse-siayers and the police, probing Poliak's private affairs, succeed in locating his hidden bank accounts, it may be one .richer by far than any heretofore. a a a ¥>ORN "Vicky" Mysza in Poland, Mrs. Poliak was brought to, this country by her parents when she was 5. Her childhood home backed against the railroad tracks in one of Chicago’s poorest sections. While her father battled for health and her mother worked in a factory, she did what housekeeping was done and took care of her two small brothers and baby sister. At 15 she was graduated from grammar school and set out to realize her girlhood ambition. "As far back as I can remember,” she reminisced, "I wanted to become a part of the swell world outside my neighborhood—the world that lived without knowing that poor people like us existed.” With her face and figure to help her, she got herself a job as cash girl in a downtown department store and ushered in a neighborhood “movie” theater of evenings. Later she became a saleswoman and began to study beauty culture. Somewhere along the brightly lighted road she traveled after leaving her parents drab roof, she encountered Joseph Poliak. He had been in the liquor business "on the legit” until the passage of the Volstead act. After that he entered the bootlegging business.

“TO told me he had plenty of J money and was looking for someone to share it with,” continued Dorothy. “He said if I’d marry him, we would have a nice home and children. He was affectionate and kind. He took me to dances and shows.” After their marriage in October, 1929, Dorothy says he changed. “He stopped taking me places,” she explained. “He always was jealous of me, but after we were married he was worse. He was always beating me. “He was under a SI,OOO peace bond not to touch me when he—he came toward me with that paring knife. I thought he xvas going to kill me sure that time. That's why I—l shot him.” The police’s failure to find “that paring knife” seems not to have affected the sure-shot siren's chances. Court veterans are offering odds that she will never be found guilty. NEXT: The triangular lore affair of: 1. Olive Borden, former movie queen, 2. Mrs. Pearl Haworth Spector, Buffalo beauty shop proprietress, who, at the age of 15, wed 3. Dashing (Teddy!

SEEK SKY LEGCER Booze Chase Fugitive Flees City in Plane. Sky trail of a rum-runner who outdistanced police, after an automobile chase at sixty miles ’an hour over north side streets on Wednesday afternoon, supposedly escaping from the city in an airplane, is sought today. The chase began at Thirtyfourth and Illinois streets, when a police squad, under Sergeant Dan Cummings, suspected two men who passed in' a small coupe. The squad took up the chase, during which one shot was fired at the fleeing car without taking effect. At Twenty-eighth and Pennsylvania streets one man leaped from the car and escaped. The chfcse continued to the 5400 block on state road 29. where the police car was outdistanced. Later, report was received that the first fugitive was taken by taxi to an airport, northwest of the city. Records were being checked today in an effort to find the fugitive’s destination.

DERBY RACE IS CETTING TORRIDi RUSHJN_VOTES Tom Quinn Speeds Up and ‘Cootie’ McGinnis Keeps Pace With Him. SKILL STANDINGS Tom Quinn 1.351 •Cootie” McGinnis 1.100 E. W. Mushrush "1 Ear! Cox 33* E.

Shcaffer 92 The old-time shell game, with its “Now you see it and now you don’t,” invaded the Brown Derby contest today, to select the city’s most distinguished resident. The obligato of “hide-and-seek” was played by the two leaders in the race which will end with the coronation at the state fair on the night of Sept, B—“ Cootie” McGinnis and Tom Quinn. First, Tom led the standings and then “Cootie”. It see-sawed like a buck-saw until, as this goes to press, the only way to tell who is in the lead is to look at the skull standings and say, “Maybe it isn’t so.” Quinn, with the backing of West Washington street merchants, and his firm, the White Furniture Company, seined up and down his street today for votes. He resorted to dynamite in collecting ballot “fish.” Mushrush Is Crowded In turn, E. W. Mushrush, candidate of the Light Fantastic party of the city for the crown, was forced into a fast fox trot to hold third place against the encroachment of E. Kirk McKinney and Earl Cox. Anew hat-hunter delved into the list as W. E. Williams was acclaimed as needing a fall derby, with a sheif of ballots cast for him. Williams stepped over Henry O. Goett, Lawyer Meyer and the Sprinting “Bob” Pogue of Pogue's Run. Judge Baker and Police Chief Morrissey rested on their oars. “But,” warns Jo-Jo, the dogfaced judge, “they would better quit their Studio couches and stop hoarding ballots. For next week—it may be any day—ballots will be dated and they’ll have to be in within twenty-four hours of their date. So get your undated votes in now and that don’t mean 1933.” Guillotine Made Ready Then there’s another rule in this campaign without rules or regulations and that is that Jo-Jo is tired of writing thirteen names daily in the skull list. He’s resolved—and when Jo-Jo resolves it’s rare done—that the three lowest candidates will be guillotined Monday morning. “Ten derbyists from Monday on —no more, no less. Anyone can edge into those ten standings if he has the votes to cut out a low man,” cackles Jo-Jo. So vote today, every day, to name the city’s most distinguished citizen and crown him with a derby, present him with a plaque, and hear his noble coronation address at the fair on Sept. 8.
