Nor has there been the slightest rumor of disorder or uprising anywhere In the soviet union. Even diplomats and foreign correspondents who have lived for years in the Soviet union find themselves bewildered and hard pressed to discover an explanation explana-tion which satisfactorily covers - all ramifications of the purge. Stalin Frightened The most reasonable guess at the underlying reason for such a general purge is that some development or combination of developments gave Stalin such a fright that he decided to "crack down" ruthlessly on all classes and kinds of potential opposition, no matter what, before it had a chance to unite. Any regime that has lasted 20 years, especially a regime which had to resort to as many repressive re-pressive measures as the Bolsheviks Bol-sheviks have, is bound to make enemies. Undoubtedly there were elements hostile to Stalin within with-in the party. But I found nobody who 1 believed be-lieved that there was any really organized support, of the Trot-skyist Trot-skyist idea that Stalin had "betrayed "be-trayed the revolution," although there were those who individually disagreed with the course that the revolution was taking under Stalin's leadership. Strayed Away "., They felt that the revolution on many points had strayed from the line of pure socialism advocated ad-vocated (by the original Bol-Bheviks Bol-Bheviks such deviations as allowing al-lowing peasants to hold small plots of land for gardening and feeding feed-ing domestic animals, the restoration restor-ation of ranks in the army, the strengthening of family units, the restoration (although under almost al-most confiscatory taxation) of the right of inheritance, the encouragement en-couragement of deposits in savings sav-ings banks, the protection of private pri-vate incomes from work and savings, the tightening of divorce di-vorce regulations and the abolition ab-olition of abortion. Charges of wrecking or sabotage, sa-botage, which also figure importantly im-portantly in the purge, result from negligence, slackness, even Ignorance, which cause the breakage break-age of machines and the interruption inter-ruption of production or transport. trans-port. And I . know ' of foreign engineers with years of ex perience in Soviet factories who am nersonaliv onvinced that there ffias" Seen req$enT sa- botage and wrecking m factories for political reasons. Old Conspirators Many of the old Bolsheviks caught up in the current purge had been conspirators by career all of their lives before the Bol-chevist Bol-chevist revolution. It is not improbable im-probable that some had retained their taste for underground work. Every known friend of Trotsky, even friends of his friends, was rounded up. Espionage is another reason for . the, purge.

Every major military na- tion in Europe maintains spying organizations among her strongest strong-est neighbors. But certainly not everyone labeled in the Soviet as a Japanese or German spy, or as a Fascist spy, was on a foreign payroll. Epidemic of Spies-Anyone Spies-Anyone who recalls the epidemic epi-demic of "German spies" in the United States during the world war understands what happens under the stress of. war-time hysteria. The Soviet union labors under a war-time mentality now, as it has frequently to a greater or less degree during the last 20 years. Some of the charges in the press, such as the infection ,of bouquets with potato cancer, the infection of cotton areas with pink worm, the poisoning of water wa-ter sources and the spreading of contagious diseases among cattle, are reminiscent of war-time days in the United States. When one comes to the case of Marshal Michail Tukhachevsky and seven other generals of the red army, conjecture regarding the background of their executions execu-tions is complex and unsatisfactory. unsatisfact-ory. The key to the mystery possibly pos-sibly may be found in Stalin's decision in May to restore the institution of political commissars commis-sars attached to large army units. The commissars are virtually spies to keep an eye on the actions of the army commanders com-manders and report directly to the political party. It was provided pro-vided that every order had to be countersigned by two of three persons the commander, the assistant as-sistant commander and or the political commissar. Americans Would Object Any American making his career in the army might be expected to object bitterly to such an arrangement. Tukhachevsky Tukhachev-sky and other generals may ftave resisted this institution and continued con-tinued their resistance to a point regarded as suspicious or as a deviation from the party line. It has been known that some upper career militarists Were less interested inter-ested in the boishevisation of the army than in military efficiency. A timetable of the closing-days of Marshal Tukh achevsky's career reveals with what devastating deva-stating suddenness the crisis broke. In February I was assured as-sured everywhere in Moscow that in event of war the Marshal, .recognized as.amqngthe. wojrid's most .brilliant tacticians, would command the red armies in the field. Late in March he personally confirmed to one of my friends that he had been chosen to repre sent the Soviet Union at the coronation of King George VI This appointment was cancelled later, but on May 1, Tukhachev sky stood beside Stalin in Red square, reviewing the May day parade. afterwardwith Stalin he i i 4.1 ' f r: receiveo. me array onuwts. Eleven days later ne unex pectedly was demoted to a pro vincial post. One month later he was arrested, tried hastily and shot. Seized In the Night As the story goes in Moscow, Tukhachevsky was arrested by subterfuge after being summoned back from the Volga, ostensibly to attend a meeting of army commanders. He was seized in the middle of the night while en route to Moscow in his private Just why Stalin felt it nefces sary to reinstitute the system of noliticai commissars remains a moot point, but it is evident that he mistrusted the un swerving loyalty of certain com manders. Several of the executed eenerals had undergone training in Germany during the period nf Russo-German friendship, it is likely that they retained cer tain friendships, perhaps even contacts, with German officers Phone 1343 at 2 :30 p. m.

Apropos of this point, an incident in-cident occurred during my visit to Moscow in February which I do not pretend to understand.

I ignored the rumor because be-cause it seemed fantastic to believe be-lieve that a casual foreigner would hear such a closely guard-secret, guard-secret, but again I heard it in high official circles in Prague, Czechoslovakia.

Two of the five members of the supreme court of Puerto Rico are totally incapacitated; one is blind and the other seriously ill in a Baltimore hospital. Despite their inability to attend to their duties, they hate refused to resign. re-sign. This has greatly impaired the work of the court, and the local bar recently petitioned the justice department for relief. As there is no way to force the two men to quit, the only solution so-lution is to "pack" the court with additional judges. Attorney General Cummlngs put the matter mat-ter up to the judiciary committee. commit-tee. It decided to send a committee com-mittee to the island to make a first hand investigation and report re-port at the next session. As chairman of the judiciary committee it fell tq Ashurst -to name the investigators. Solemnly Solemn-ly he appointed the following Senator Ed Burke, generalissimo generalissi-mo of the fight against the president's court packing bill; Senator Tom Connally, one of the authors of the scathing majority report against the measure; Senators Sen-ators William King, Frederick Van Nuys and Warren Austin, signers of the report. TOUGH SPOT Burke accepted .bis selection with a wry smile. "This certainly puts us in a tough spot," he remarked. "It would be funny if we had to recommend the appointment of additional jud ges." "Maybe that was why Ashurst named you, a friend said. "I wouldn't put it past Henry, Burke laughed. "But he told me he put me on the committee so I would be in line for one of the jobs. I thought that was very nice of him until I learned that they have a habit in Puerto Rico of shooting judges they don't like." r MERRY-GO-ROUND During tne storm that broke about his head in the Federal Communications Commission, im pish Commissioner George Henry Payne kept on his desk a little black volume by Thomas A.

Aug. 31 (ILR) A national labor relations board hearing, first .held in Utah under the Wagner , act, waff under way hero today with the Utah Copper company attempting to disprove charges of the Mine, Mill and Smelter Workers' union that it maintained a company-spon-sorted organization of employes. The union charged the company bad maintained an "Employes' General Committee," and had influenced in-fluenced workers against joining the Mine, Mill and Smelter Workers' Work-ers' union. P. H. McNally, Casper, Wyo., labor relations board examiner, denied a company motion that the charges be dismissed on grounds that the company's business was intra-state and thus removed it fro mthe government board's jurisdiction. juris-diction. D. D. Moffat, vice president and general manager of the company, said It was his belief that there had been "verbal agreements" between be-tween the. employes' committee and the superintendents before adoption of committee by-laws in 1922, but that the committee itself it-self was chosen by employe vote. 'The company operated at a loss of $2,469,703.94 in 1932 for the sole purpose of keeping its employes em-ployes off relief, the company's brief asserted.
