SOVIET CHIEF'S WIFE MANAGES REMOTE RANCH ‘First Lady’ Chooses Life in ’ ‘Backwoods’ to That of Kremlin. By United Press y MOSCOW, Nov. 19.—How the * first lady" of the Soviet land. Ekaterina Kalinin, wife of President Michael Kalinin, lives and works on the distant farm under her management in the Altai region, is recounted by her first American visitor, Anna Louise Strong of Seattle. Miss Strong visited the Altai village, Chcmal, where Mrs. Kalinin runs a rest home for the native Oiratis, and a state-owned farm and cattle ranch. "No one in Chemal thinks of her . as Madame President,” Miss Strong declares. Looks Like Village Beauty "They seldom even call her Kalinina. Employes of the state farm and guests of the rest home alike follow the familiar Russian habit of calling her Ekaterina Ivanovna. "To her three-room cottage, which combines office, bedroom and guest room, come constant committee meetings. “Sitting in these conferences or at her desk in the farm office, she looks the efficient administrator. But there are times when strolling along the edge of the foaming Katoon river, or emerging from -the Russian bath where she has been "steaming” with the other women employes, she looks, with kerchief knotted above rosy face, like the village beauty of former years.” Mrs. Kalinin began her rest home and farm enterprise about a year and a half ago. She had been in Soviet Oiratia, however, for some years before that. Farm Far From Railway She dislikes the cities and the official routine to which her standing as wife of the President would tie her in the Kremlin. The enterprises under her control—ranging from a well-kept rest homes, to chicken farms and bee hives and carpentry shops cover some 20 kilometers of hill and dale. This year, Miss Strong says, Mrs. Kalinin had to her credit 1,600 acres of grain, 2,500 acres of hay, a farm with 300 cows, 2,500 sheep, 125 hogs, 250 horses, 1,000 chickens and 100 bee hives. A thirty-acre truck garden keeps the rest home well supplied with fresh vegetables. The farm is 180 kilometers from the nearest railroad station and can be reached only after negotiating a difficult muddy road.

BRITISH WRITER IS TOWN HALL SPEAKER HERE Struggles of People of Stage Described by Clemence Dane. "To enjoy perfectly a stage play, you must agree to leave real life behind you,” was the advice Clemence Dane, English novelist and playwright, told a Town Hall audience Friday at English’s. The author cited Shakespeare as an example who considered all the world a stage, and all people actors who played many roles before the final curtain. ‘•People of the theater do not have an easy time,” Miss Dane said She told of the painful struggle of Mrs. Siddons before she became a success on the London stages as Lady Macbeth. "Lady Macbeth is the greatest role ever given a woman,” she said. "All children of the theater are fighters, are willing to undergo all hardships, even to be laughed at and even give up a career when they can not get the parte they want. "It is the duty of the actor to hold up that fabled mirror to nature. Also it is the power of that ideal which makes them defy tradition." GRETA GARBO GIVES UP PLAN TO BE HERMIT Island Trip Off; Decides She Can’t Evade Reporters and Film Fans. By United Pitss PARIS, Nov. 19.—Greta Garbo, apparently convinced she can not evade reporters and film fans anywhere she goes, has decided to abandon her trip to the Balearic islands, where she had hoped to go into a hermit-like seclusion. Miss Garbo Thursday found the street outside her little hotel jammed with movie fans, extra police and photographers. The hotel was overrun by reporters. Paris modistes also had descended upon her, almost demanding that she yield cash in exchange for the very latest French gowns.

Calm Romance Hectic Flower Showers at London’s Theaters Relegated to Past.

By United Press T ONDON, Nov. 19.—Disappearing are the lush, romantic moments in the London theater when page boys rushed down the aisles with bouquets and baskets of flowers for actresses at the end of the performance. The theater Don Juans still send flowers to their favorite actresses, according to Picadilly florists, but most theatrical producers have laid down the rule that floral tokens of admiration must enter through the stage door rather than over the footlights. The reason for the new ban is that theater managers have for years realized that presentations of flowers across the 1 footlights have made for jealousy among the company. Most Piccadilly florists, therefore, have been ordered to deliver flowers to the dressing rooms in the future. The mechanical age almost has seen the disappearance of the highly scarfed and toppered swains, who rapturously chose their flowers personally for their actress friends. Although the Piccadilly flower business is still very much of a booming industry, most orders are carried out over the telephone. FLAILS MACHINE AGE Blind Robbed of Opportunity to Earn Living, Parley Told. "The age of machinery, by making unprofitable the trades on which blind people depend, has robbed them of many opportunities,” Francis H. Topmiller, president of the Indiana Association of Workers for the Blind, declared in a session at the Claypool today. He asserted there are 2,500 blind persons in the state, and those who constitute the greatest problem are the ones who are unable to support themselves except through street begging. "We hope that this conference will find a solution to this vexatious problem,” he said.

DISARMAMENT WILL HIHGE ON JAPANTTRIAL' World Questions Bound Up in League Hearing on Manchurian War. BY WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS Serlpps-Howsrd Foreign Editor WASHINGTON, Nov. 19.—At the very moment President Hoover and President-Elect Roosevelt are hitching up their chairs at the White House next week to discuss war debts, disarmament and economics, half way round the world from them wheels will be in motion which will largely make or break whatever they decide. Monday, at Geneva, Japan will go "on trial” before the League of Nations for the virtual annexation of Manchuria. In reality, However, it will not be Japan that is on trial so much as the league—its covenant, the Kellogg pact, the ninepower treaty and the world peace machinery in its entirety. Disarmament depends upon outcome of this controversy. Unless the peace machinery is strong enough to protect China from aggression, the nations will turn to armies and navies for their security, rather than to paper pacts. Sentiment in Washington admittedly is almost 100 per cent against reduction or cancellation of war debts unless accompanied by world-wide arms reduction and other constructive international understandings. Thus the league’s decisions on Manchuria, .disarmament, war debts and the success of the coming world economic conference are all seen as tied together. The league council 'meets in special session Monday to take up the report of the Lytton commission, sent to the Far East to investigate. General Frank R. McCoy was the American representative. The Lytton report, in effect, charges that Japan was the aggressor; that while China was not entirely blameless, Japan was not acting in self-defense when she occupied Manchuria. Manchuria, therefore, should be returned to China.

WORLEY PROBE AT BLANK WALL Grand Jury Nowhere Near Solution, Is Assertion. Marion county’s grand jury is no nearer solution of activities of Claude M. Worley, former police chief, than when it began an investigation nearly six months ago, it was learned Friday. Repeated rumors that Worley, who is serving a five-year sentence in the Leavenworth penitentiary, was ready to break his silence and “tell all” have not materialized. However, Prosecutor Herbert E. Wilson, who set out to learn where Worley got $91,368 in the period from 1927 to 1930, declared today the probe will continue. Worley was police chief two years of this period. A score of witnesses have appeared before the grand jury without giving any definite evidence as to the source of Worley’s income, Wilson said. The federal government, which convicted the former chief of failure to pay $4,037 income tax, has given Wilson all information it had regarding state law violations MAYOR DENIES PLEAS OF HUNGER MARCHERS No Money Available for Food, Shelter Here, He Tells Delegation. Demands of a delegation representing the national hunger march committee that food, shelter and transportation be supplied Nov. 27 as the marchers pass through Indianapolis, was denied Thursday afternoon by Mayor Reginald H. Sullivan. A letter from Chicago, headquarters of the marchers’ committee, demanded the city provide food, decent housing and a place of assembly.” Supplies of gasoline and oil also were demanded in the letter. It was stated that the marchers will pass through the city en route to Washington to urge relief legislation from congress. Sullivan told the delegation that no money was available for such use, that neither he nor any other city official had a right to use public funds in such a way, and that the hunger marchers must be regarded as a political gathering.

U. S. Near End of Fight to Restore Aged Indian’s ‘Gift’ of Million

Jackson Barnett, Now 90, Signed Away Fortune in 1923. BY KENNETH WATSON Time, Staff Writer WASHINGTON, Nov. 19—Concluding phases of the government's attempts to set aside action of former Interior Secretary Albert Fall and Indian Commissioner Chartes H. Burke in permitting Jackson Barnett, now 90 years old and the world’s wealthiest Indian, to sign away $1,100,000 in oil royalties in 1923 are to be enacted this month. Charles B. Selby, special assistant United States attorney-general, will appear before Justice F. D. Letts in the District of Columbia supreme court, Tuesday, in a suit brought to compel the Riggs national bank to restore a $200,000 trust fund to the treasury department. A soon as Selby completes the case here he will proceed to Ft. Scott, Kan., where a suit to force Representative Harold McGugin, Republican congressman from Kansas, to return $150,000 to the government is pending. Both lawsuits grow out of the transaction in which Jackson Barnett, Creek Indian, then 81 years old, signed away $1,100,000 of his property. Department of justice officials claim Mrs. Anna Laura Lowe, an attractive brunet, some 40 years younger than the aged Indian, took him from his home at Henrietta, Okla., in 1920, and married him at Coffeyville, Kan. On being advised by McGugin, whom she engaged as attorney, that Kansas laws did not recognize the marriage of any incompetent person to a woman less than 45 years old, it is alleged that she took Barnett to Neosha, Mo., where a second marriage ceremony was performed. Three years later, former Indian Commissioner Burke approved a transaction by which Jackson Barnett transferred $550,000 in Liberty bonds to the American Baptist BATTLE OVER PLANE SYSTEM DRAW Agreement Reached Between Cord and Representatives of Rivals. By United Press NEW YORK, Nov. 19.—The fight for control of the fast-growing country-wide air line network of Aviation Corporation apparently ended Friday in a draw, as business giants mustering their millions for the scheduled proxy battle at the stockholders’ meeting Dec. 21. A statement telling of a proposed settlement was issued jointly early today by La Motte T. Cohu, president of the corporation, and L. B. Manning, executive vice-president of the Cord Corporation, representing E. L. Cord, the young automobile manufacturer, who declared war on the present management and announced his intention of wresting control for himself. The agreement was made known within a few hours after Cohu had filed a million dollar libel suit against a Cord supporter, and Cord had boarded a fast trans-continen-tal express train at Los Angeles, en route east to take personal charge of the proxy fight. The joint statement said: “An arrangement has been Tfrived at by representatives of both contending groups of directors of the Aviation Corporation looking to a settlement of the existing controversy. The arrangement will be submitted shortly to the board of directors for its approval. “It is proposed that the board be reduced to fifteen in number, one-third to be selected by the Cord group, and the remaining one-third to be independent prominent men mutually agreed upon by the two groups. All matters at issue will be resolved by the new board and litigation ended.” CHARGE OF AIMING GUN AT COP DISMISSED Greenfield Man Faces Trial on Carrying Concealed Weapon Nov. 25. Two of four charges against Everett Leary, Greenfield, accused of having snapped a pistol-grip shotgun in the face of patrolman Philip J. De Barr, were dismissed Friday by William Henry Harrison, special judge in municipal court. Leary will be tried Nov. 25 on two other charges. Those dismissed were carrying a concealed weapon and vagrancy. Those remaining are drawing a deadly weapon and resisting an officer. A vagrancy charge against Miss LaVonne Diddel, 4704 College avenue, companion of Leary, was dismissed. Leary asserted the gun was not his, but the property of a man in Greenfield. He denied attempting to shoot the officer. CHESTNUT RETURN TO PENNSYLVANIA SEEN Pinchot Thinks Effects of Blight Will Be Overcome. By United Press HARRISBURG, Pa., Nov. 19.

NEED LEGISLATIVE AID, SCHOOL HEADS CLAIM Tax Board Asked to Suggest Revisions of 1932-33 Budget. Unless relief is provided by the 1933 legislature city school terms definitely will be shortened two months, school commissioners informed the state tax board Friday. In a letter asking the state board to suggest revisions of the 1932-33 budget based on the 92-cent levy, as fixed by the county tax adjustment board, school commissioners pointed out that a total of $1,727,000 has been pared from the budget in comparison to the 1931 figure. This reduction includes a voluntary cut of $870,000 by school commissioners and a $957,000 slash by the tax adjustment board. "Unless legislative relief is provided, the commissioners realize this radically will shorten the school term and will work a hardship on both pupils and teachers,” the state board was informed in the letter.

BANK CHIEF'S QUICK THINKING FOILS BANDITS Releases Tear Gas Flood, Steps on Alarm as Crooks Enter. By United Press LA PORTE, Ind., Nov. 19.—Quick thinking by L. R. Cass, president, Friday thwarted a holdup of the Westville State bank, twelve miles southwest of here in La Porte county. The bandits escaped without loot after firing two shots at the president, both of which went wild. Cass and John. Recktenwall, cashier, were alone in the bank when two bandits entered. One of the gunmen jumped over the counter and headed for the vault. As he did so, Cass pushed a button releasing a flood of tear gas, and then stepped on another button which sounded the burglar alarm. Frightened by the clanging of bells, the bandit outside the cage fired twice at the president. Meanwhile, the other bandit was tugging furiously at a cash drawer, trying to get it open. Alarm wires which were fastened to it kept him from gaining access. As the alarm kept sounding, pedestrians and merchants started running toward the bank. The bandits abandoned their efforts to get any money, and with their eyes smarting from the tear gas they ran outside to a waiting automobile. Witnesses said at least two men were in the car. It thundered out of town, going west, and eluded a hurriedly organized posse of vigilantes. President Cass said the bandit might have obtained a few dollars, but as far as he could tell from hasty examination, all the cash remained intact. SEEK STOVES FOR NEEDY Appeal Is Made for Twelve Coal or Wood Burners and Heaters. Appeal for twelve coal or wood stoves and heaters was sounded today by W. V.

MONTHLY BILLS FOR TAXES ARE HELDJEASIBLE Pay City Levy Like Utility Costs, Cincinnati Manager Advises. By Scripps-Hovard .Vrv.paper Alliance CINCINNATI, Nov. 19.—The [dan of rendering monthly bills for city services, just as they are rendered by public utilities to their consumers, holds possibilities, in the opinion of Clarence A. Dykstra, city manager of Cincinnati, and president of the International City Managers’ Association. "Could we pay by the month for waste collection, sewer service, street cleaning and flushing, police and fire protection, health and recreation service, there would be little public expense left for local taxpayers to pay on the first of the year,” Dykstra explains. He believes the educational effect of such plan would be good, for citizens naturally would check their monthly city service bills against those of gas, telephone and other private utility companies. In most cases they would discover that the tax burden is only a fraction of the total amount paid for all utility services, he says. Dykstra made comparisons which showed that a large Cincinnati mercantile establishment paid as much for power and light alone as its tax bill for all local purposes, including county and schools; •
