U.S. TO SHARE IN SOVIET PLAN FOR EXPANSION Billions Will Be Spent in Industrial and Rail Equipment. BY WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS Seripps-Howard Foreign Editor WASHINGTON. Jan. 10—American participation in Soviet Russia's second colossal building program, scheduled to outdo by far our own "winning of the west,” will shortly be under way, the writer learns. Billions of dollars will be spent on new' industrialization and transportation projects in the Soviet Union, and America’s share of the new equipment orders stands to be large, depencing upon the terms offered. Soviet Ambassador Alexander Troyanovsky arrived Sunday and presented his credentials in record time at the White House. Trade experts are expected to follow him without unnecessary delay. The stage will then tie set for business. Improvement in Russia’s transportation system alone, under the second five-year plan, calls for expenditures of 26,000,000,000 rubles, nominally $13,000,000,000. Approximately half of this will be spent on her railroads, apparently closely following recommendations of Ralph Budd, American engineer and railway president, who has made a special study of the Russian system. Russia plans to construct approximately 7,000 miles of additional tracks. Nearly 6.000 miles of existing lines are to be double-tracked. More than 3,000 miles are to be electrified. New r spurs to feed the main lines are to be laid, heavier rails will replace those now in use and new' and heavier locomotives and cars are to be added. Summarizing the Russian railway situation at the writer’s request, President Budd, of the C B. & 0., said there are now approximately 50,000 miles of railway in the Soviet Union compared with 250,000 miles in the United States. Russia, therefore, has one-seventh as much rail-

NEW TWA PLANES WILL HAVE AIR BRAKES TO AID IN LANDINGS

,4*sa - -i i

By the use of air brakes, new’ Douglas airliners, to be placed in operation soon by Transcon-tinental-Western Air, w’ill be able to land safely in fields one-third the size required by similar planes without air brakes. Aeronautical engineers w r ere faced with a serious landing problem by the demand for more and

road per capita and one-twelfth as much per square mile of territory. The comparisons are all the more impressive, he observed, when it is remembered that we have 700,000 miles of hard surfaced highw’ay and 26.000.000 automobiles to augment our transportation, whereas in Russia there are comparatively few miles of highway and few’ automobiles. It will cost about $2,500,000,000, he estimates, to bring Russia's 50.000 miles of railroad up to the American standard. And he considered it conservative to say that 25,000 miles of new railway should be

more speed on air lines. In the past, the faster the plane flew’, the faster its landing speed. The new air brake, on the trailing edge of the wing, as shown above, reduces the landing speed of the planes to about fifty'miles an hour. Thus, from a height of 100 feet,

built as soon as possible. With the necessary motive power and equipment, this w’ould cost another billion, making $3,500,000,000 in all. It is significant that much of the money spent on the second five-year plan will go to Siberia. Anew transSiberian railroad is to be built north of the existing line, which is to be completely double-tracked and otherwise improved. The new line would run from Archangel to the Sea of Okhotsk. Siberia, larger in area than the United States, is to be settled by a flood of emigrants from European Asia and criss-crossed by railways and highways. New blast furnaces,

the plane is enabled to land within 500 feet, instead of 1,500 feet as required by similar planes without air brakes. The brake is formed by hinging the rear edge of the w’ing so it can be dropped, pressure of air against the section slowing the plane’s speed.

foundries, tractor plants and machine shops are to be located there, j with additional military garrisons and air bases. Japan defeated Russia in 1905 because all supplies had to come from European Russia and there was only the single-track trans-Siberian line of communications. The Soviet Union plans to develop her Far East I precisely as the United States developed its far west, only at a vastly increased tempo She considers it to be a matter of urgent national defense. All this will cost billions. It will require the importation of vast quantities of machinery of all kinds.

FIRST YEAR OF M’NIITT RULE ISJEVIEWED Report Governor Wrote Before Florida Trip Lists Reforms. The second year of Governor Paul V. McNutt’s "New Deal” administration was started today. On Jan. 9, 1933, Governor McNutt was inaugurated on the west steps of the statehouse amid a fanfare of American Legion trumpets and the most expansive ceremonies in recent years. In his inaugural address he assumed the burden of helping to solve the economic problem of the depression and laid down the promise that it is the duty of the state to see that no citizens starves. The legislature was in session. Next day he appeared before a joint session of both houses and read his message. From that time on, they "ate cut of his hand.” Many now are on the administrative pay roll. What has been accomplished during the ensuing tw’elve months is related in a report prepared by the Governor before he left for a winter vacation in Florida It was made available today by his secretary, Pleas Greenlee. He said the Governor will return Sunday. Under the heading, “The Legislative Program,” the Governor reports as follows: “Directly to the fulfillment of party pledges were the following acts of the 1933 general assembly; administrative-executive act to eliminate overlapping functions of government, useless boards and commissions, the rewriting of the tax laws for the broadening of the tax base and taxing of intangible wealth; enconomy laws such as deferred mandatory tax levies, fixed standard salaries at lower levels for public officials and returning fees to general tax funds; a moratorium on bonded indebtedness; a deferred payment plan for delinquent taxes; rewriting the public service commission law and establishing the office of public counselor to aid consumers; a voter’s registration law;

TAXPAYING HAS ITS BRIGHTER SIDE

Paying the state income tax at the statehouse has become a fine art. It’s almost as pleasant as having your nails manicured if you seek advice from one of the girls. In the picture Miss Gladys Martin. Sullivan, is telling M. C. Reeves, Knightstown, how the blank is to be filled out.

old age pension law; excise law; weight act repeal; anti-lynching law and reform of poor relief and banking.” Economy of administration is stressed and taxpayer benefits of $12,761,075 through departmental re-organization and consolidation is claimed. Also a direct saving of operating cost of $600,000 monthly. Praise for the tax program as saving the public schools is voiced in the report. Also rate reduction activities of the public service commission. Re-employment work in co-opera-tion with the federal government and the state administration of poor relief is cited among the administration accomplishments. An SB,OOO monthly reduction in health department costs and a more inclusive program, such as the present immunization campaign, is cited. Banking reform also is listed among the major moves of merit. His popularity with the Hoosiers is not at the same pitch as on his inaugural day his supporters admit, but contend that it will return to that height when the administration is closed.

FORD TO ACQUIRE M'GUFFEH HOME Takes Option on Birthplace of Reader’s Author. By United Press WASHINGTON, Pa- Jan. 10.— An option on the homestead where the author of McGuffey's Reader was born has been taken by Henry Ford, it was reported here today. The option was taken during a secret visit the millionaire motor manufacturer made last week to the home of Henry V. Blayney and Mrs. Blayney, West Finley township. The Blayneys, second cousins of William Holmes McGuffey, said they understood Mr. Ford planned to repair the 150-year-old log house now riearly tumbled down, where McGuffey was born on Sept. 28. 1800. The work would be a part of Mr- Ford's preservation of old American scenes.
