SOVIET PLANS GROUP OF JEWISH REPUBLICS MOSCOW, Aug. 17.—Nuclei for a group of Jewish soviet republics within the Soviet union have been lJaid in the regions of Kherscn, Kharkov, Minsk and Odessa. The Bolshevik government in- tends ultimately to give these re- gions full local autonomy, allow- ing the Jewish settlers to create their own district soviets and administrative bodies. The dream of thousands of Jews for a “Na- tional Home" of their own within ‘the boundaries of their native Russia is thus' made a reality. The colonizationsof Jews in th- new areas will include, of the 3,000,000 Hebrews in Soviet Rus- gia, only about 1,000,000 whose extreme poverty and social situa- tion makes it desirable to give them opportunities for agricultural and industrial development in the new “republics.” To date, the gov- ernment has allotted more than 250,000 acres of free lands to the Jewish colonists in the Kherson, Kharkov and Odessa regions. “We want the Jews of Sovict (Continued on Page Seven.) | tuture.

Detalls as to terms, which have not yet reached the New York office, are subject to confirmation by the directors. The arrangement with the Ger- man Dye Trust is regarded as a protective move on the part of the New Jersey Company in the eveut of a shortage of crude oil in the No early production of synthetic gasoline is believed hka- ly, partly because of the preseat oversupply of crude petroleum and the fact that the synthetic pro- duct cannot be produced at a price to compete with gasoline refined from oil. Representative of the German interests have claimed the coal process would permit production of gas at 10 cents a gallon, — e Cosgrave Gouvt.

PSRN PR CHANGES CAUSE DELAY IN WHITE HOUSE WORK WASHINGTON, Aug. 17.—Re- pairing the White House hsa turn- ed out to be pretty much like repairing almost any house. Minor contingencies which could not be foreseen when the specifi cations and estimates were made have delayed completion of the reconstruction of the third floo: and roof, begun last March, and have added about $40,000 to the cost of the work. Nevertheless, the heavy con- struction is expected to be finish- ed early in August, with only the painters remaining on the joo, They are not being hurried, since indications are that President Coolidge will not return to Wash- ington before September. Original plans called for all workmen to be out of the White House by July 16. The specifica- tiong worked out bl Avmy En- gineers for the work, howeve', were necessarily based to a large extent on assumptions. Detalls of the wooden trussing which sup- ported the third floor and of tha roof construction could not be ex- amined until much of the ancient material had been removed. This could not be started until the Executive family moved out. Whew it did become possible many su™ prises were encountered by tha engineers and their plans had to be altered at many points. Furthermore, since the objest of remodelling the third floor was to make it as pleasant and hal able as possible, many detalls arrangement and constructi: could be determined finally on the basis of aesthetic siderations as the work 0 with frequeut minor volving delay and Wm Renge,
