NEW AUTO CENTER IN RUSSIA BUSTLING 10,000 or 12,000 Men and Women Working Night and Day, 'Says Construction Man. By the Assoclated Press. DETROIT, ‘January 26.—Huge ma- chine shops, forge shops and other factcry buildings spreading steadily out over acre after acre of one-tire farm land; rows of apartment houses of mocern design; from 10,000 to 12,000 men and women working day and| night. This s the picture brought back to Detroit’ by Stephen Dybetz, erstwhile automobile mechanic, of the progress | being made in. the development of | Autostroy, the new city which the Soviet government is erecting 10 miles from Nijny Novgorod as the automobile center | of the United States of Soviet Russia. Dybetz is superintendent of the con- struction work cn th's phase of the five-year industrialization plan. Dybetz, for 10 years a mechanic in| the United States, is back for a con- sultation with officials and technicians of the Ford Motor Co., through whose | co-operation the new industrial city is being constructed. The agreenfent pro- vided that the Ford Motor Co. train men and furnish blueprints, cost records and other data necessary for the production of automobiles. In return the Russians agreed to purchase irom the Ford com- pany cars and parts they do nct make themselves. Engineers, other workmen “have been sent from Russia to be rained in the Ford organ- n. _As one group completed its draftsmbn, scientists _and city started last May, and Dybetz says everything has been done on schedule and the work should be completed not later than June 15. Equipment already is being purchased and its installation g the plant will produce 60 per c the motors and transmissions nedded. The remainder will be imported from Dearborn, home of the Ford company. The pride of the workers is appealed to, Dybetz explains, to obtain results. “Each group of workers,” he said, “has a leader, who is responsible for thc work of his crew. His picture, drawn in a cartoon, is prominently displayed on the walls about his section of the project. If he is 50 per cent ahead of schedule his speed is rewarded by having him pictured in an airplane. But if he is far behind, he is shown astride a turtle. To be thus pictured would be considered a disgrace.” Volcano in Eruption, BAN SALVADOR, El Salvador, Janu- ary 26 (#)—The volcano, Izalico, was in minor eruption early yesterday.

DEPRESSION STUPID WOODS DECLARES Hoover Group Head Broad- casts Views on Economic Situation. - Col. Arthur Woods, chairman of the | President’s Emergency Committee for | Employment, last night described the | economic depression as & “grave but | also a stupid situation.” In an address over the National Broadcasting network during Collier's hour he safa: “On one hand we have millions of idle workers, many of them now des- perately in need of the very commod- Ities they might produce if they had work. “On the other hand, we have idle| plants, the owners of which are eager | to put these idle workers to work and are steadily losing money because of | their inability to do so,” he added. | “While these two groups stay sepa- | rated, employers, employes and consum- | ers alike are the victims of depression. FAMOUS FOE OF By the Assoclated Press, NEW ORLEANS, La., January 26.— The last living member of the United States Army Board of 30 years ago which became celebrat:d as the “Yel- low Fever Commission” when it waged a successful war against the Central American mosquito plague, will be brought to Louisiana this year to estab- lish a fre: school of tropieal medicine. This was decided with the appoint- ment of Dr. Aristride Agramonte of Havana, Cuba, as head of the de- partment of tropical discases in the proposed school of medicine to b> opened at Louisiana State University next Autumn. The school will be op- erated jointly at Baton Rouge and New Orleans. Dr. Arthur A. Vidrine, dean of the one loses.

From Cuba. new school, in announcing the appoint- ment of Dr. Agramonte, said it was the university's plan to “develop the great- est development of tropical medicine in the world.” Back in 1900 in Cuba Dr, Agramonte won fame in the world of medicine and sclence when, as & membed of the Army Board there, he thrust his hand into a glass jar in which buzzed mosquitoesinfected with yellow fever and let them bite him. It was the Army Board which risked health and lif> to establish definitely that yellow fever was transmitted by the mosquito’ bite. The work, in which Dr. Agr monte played a large part, was cred- ited with making the tropics, once known as “the, white man's grave,” into a health resort. He was born in a Cuban jungle clear- ing 61 years ago during a Cuban in- surrection in which his father, the late Gen. Agramonte, was a leader.
