Mounted Cop Spy in Red Ranks

Toronto.—Sergeantjpfifi. Leopold of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police told a criminal court/Jury here recently how for ten years he had been an active member oft the Canadian Communist party, even acting as secretary of the Regina branch and attending a grand Communist conference in* Moscow, to get the low down for the Canadian government on the alms and ambitions of the Reds in the Dominion. When he testified in court against nine alleged Communists charged under the new federal law with' being members of “an Illegal association," Leopold wore his red uniform for the first time In a decade. Throughout all the preceding ten years his wearing apparel has been working man’s rough clothing and his haunts the secret councils and conclaves of the alleged emissaries In Canada of Moscow. He told of Moscow’s hopes for Canadian secession from the British empire, of plans formulated for a Red revolt in Canada; of secret codes and communications from Moscow; of an “A” Communist party which worked legally in rhe open, and a "Z" party win.li worked illegally underground; and of a shakeup of the Canadian Communistic arm at the demand of Moscow because It was not sullwh ntly active in fomenting strikes .and unrest ■ among the working population, Leopold's entrance into the witness box w. s reserved for the hist item of tie < row us •; se in the sensational trial, and recognized as a desperate crown effort at conviction, for. with Leopold's public-testimony went ids further usefulness as police spy. in the Rod rat: ,s N p.tirscof -■ mvt.tg eyes glared nt him from the prison . - s -he relentlessly bared the Secrets of the Canadian Red organization and' even revealed the secret names by w hich Ind viduals wen igmited in party communications. i ■ ' is . ■ : < ..• !i>• Communist ei ■•limit, .involving Canadian break with t e British empire and Red revofts in the mining and industriai venters of the dominion, re

Plane Wings Shortened in Flight Help Speed Berlin. —The speed of an ordinary airplane may be increased to 250 miles per hour through a new Russian invention, now being studied by German engineers, it is reported here. Airplane wings which can be shortened during flight and lengthened as the craft approaches the ground have been Invented by a Russian engineer whose name the Soviet government does not divulge. This invention Is said to Increase the speed of a plane by approximately 100 percent. The aviation department of the Soviet government believes It has solved the problem of reducing the resistance o< the wings of airplanes. The fact that when a flying machine leaves the ground it needs a wide wing span, but that as soon as it reaches a higher altitude where fast flying Is desired, short wings with little air resistance are essential, has kept aeronautic experts of all countries busy in an attempt to find a solution.

But the government revealed nothing of It to parliament at that time. Sergeant Leopold was known in the Communist party which he served as Regina secretary as J. W. Esselwain. He said he became one of Its most trusted members. His sensational testimony relative to Moscow's interest in Canadian secession from the British empire came when he was discussing the inner councils of the 1925 convention of the Communist party of Canada. At this 1925 convention, he said, one Moriarity was the delegate from the Communistic international headquarters at Moscow. Moriarity, he said, reported that since the previous international conference In Moscow, a commission has been set up to discuss the prospect of Canadian independence." “What did they mean by that?” asked Special Crown Prosecutor Morman Sommerville “Seceding from the British empire," Leopold replied. This Moscow commission. Leopold explained, had consisted of members of the ex> iiive committee of the Common -t International. J introduced and identified a .1?. trunk load of Communistic liti..;ture and communications which had figured one way and another in .Canadian Cotnra'iif-t'c a. tiv;ti ( <, and with its 'Moscow directing heads. <hie of the interesting revelations was the code system used by the party.

MEDIEVAL ABBEY IS BEING RESTORED

Monks Labor 26 Years on Old Building. Ashburton. England.—The great medieval abbey of Buckfast, which has lain in ruins for four centuries, soon will stand fully restored as a monument to the labors of a little group of Benedictine monks. For . more than twenty-six years, working in relays of six. the monks, who live nearby in the beautiful De vonshire valley, have been rearing the vast its original foun dations. laid in the Eighth century. Virtually unaided, they have rebuilt it in all Its former detail, and next August it is to be consecrated. The abbey is a magnificent gray and yellow stone structure. Only the crumbling central tower and the foundation remained when in 1905 the monks decided to restore it. Although none of them had any knowledge of construction work, they were determined to do their work without outside help; “There was but one brother who knew how to handle a hammer and trowel." said Dorn Anscar Vonier. the smiling gray-haired abbot. “But we had a firm belief In Providence and great determination. A young brother was appointed to mix mortar for the solitary builder, and one by one other brothers were assigned to tasks.” At no time, however, have more than six monks been available.' Since no
