Chairman Fess of the Republican National Committee not only refuses to to Chairman Shouse of the Committee for {accusing him of a “deliberate false~ hood” in a recent speech in San Fran- cisco, but demands, instead, a public apology from the Democratic chieftain for charging Republicans with inject- gressional campaign. The controversy between the two was brought into the open for the third time when Fess made public an ex- change of- telegrams in which Shouse repeated a denial that h> had charged the Republicans with circulating 10,- 000,000 copies of an article by Robert Cruise’ McManus attacking Chairman Raskob of the Democrats on religious grounds. . In demanding an apology from Fess, Shouse _relterated he had referred in his speech to an anti-Raskob article in Scribner’s by Frank Kent, a political writer. Raskob's Name Injected. “I charged,” he said, “that because of John Raskob's prominence as a member of the Cathclic Church his name in this instance, and in numer- ous other instonccs, has been brought forward by the high command. of the Republican National Committee with a definite purpose of attempting to re- light the fires of religious bigotry whith played so deplorable a part in the cam- paign of 1928.” Shouse also recalled that Fess had based his accusations on an alleged misquotation in an-article in the San Francisco Chronicle, said this paper had informed him it corrected its later editions to read “Kent” instead of “Mc- based a statement upon an article mittedly false and incorrect you would have the courtesy to make that acknowledgment and to express regret.” Replying, Fess quoted from a steno- graphic transcript of Shouse’s San Francisco speech, which aquoted the Iatter as saying the Rephblicans had reproduced 10,000,000 copies of the Kent article and “if John J. Raskob had been a member of the Methodist | Church, if you please, instead of the Catholic Church, his name w-uld not have been mentioned during the cam- Object to False Statements. “Your own words, Mr. Shouse,” the telegram continued, “and vet you have the temerity to ask me for an apology. | You base your demand on the fact that you were referring to Prank Kent, who y:u say is an alleged Democrat, in- stead of to Robert Crulse McManus. It is immatcrial to us, Mr. Shouse, whether you quote from thes publiched works of Mr. Kent, Mr. McManus or any other author, but we do decidedly object when you maliciously and delib- erately make false statements to the effect that the Republican National Ccmmittee circulated an article which atta Mr. ob because cf his reli affiliations Sl repeated a previous denial that he spoke of the Kent article at a time when he believed the radio station had cut him off and demand:d the Re- publican committee recall its weekly ing the religious issue in the last (:on-I C | news letter headed: “An unprecedented attempt to inject religion into national politics by means of a brazen lie has been ex) through the agency of the radio.” ‘The letter, Shouse added, still refer- red to the McManus article and did not take into account his denial “but, on the contrery, attempts to emphasize in a | most definite way the false insinuations | and the utter misrepresentations that ;h-;:eum your (Fess'’) original state- ent.” Cites “Give and Take.” “There should be in politics as in anything else in life the acceptance of | a certain amount of ‘give and take,’” he said. “I am entirely willing to have voiced by any political agency criticism of my opinions or my acts based on a| statement of facts, but I am not willing to submit to having any one voice un- truths concerning me and especially I am unwilling to submit to a repetition of the untruth after the person voicing ' it has been made acquainted with lhel trus facts.” “In your telegram,” Fess said, “you declare that your address was not con- fidential. In this, Mr. Shouse, I con- cur, and I fully realize your annoyance at the fact that it was nct.” “We regret,” he added, “that our time of going to press precluded the possibility of inserting our defense, bu’ we wish to inform you that our letler for this week, now in the process of preparation, will include it, along witn the cther revelations found in the oi- ficial transcript of your remarks.” As for the “give and take,” Fess said: | “I think, Mr. Shouse, that you have | demonstrated your willingness to ‘give’ , in your repeated misrepresentations concerning tne President and th: ad- ministration, and if you now find the ‘taking’ rather difficult you must con- sole yourself with your own admirable philosophy.” Fess said if apologies were in order Shouse “should make a very humble one to the country at large for your contemptible methods and your utterly false statements.” | Nunnery to Be Blessed.

By the Assoclated Press. % ROME, April 28.—Under terms of a renewal and expansion of the 1930 Italo-Russian ccmmercial trezty, sign=d yestercay, commerzial interchanges be- tween the two nations are expected to be almost doubled during the remainder of 1931. The criginal convention, dated August 2, 1930, provided that Italy would fur- nish 200,000,000 lire worth of goods to Russia, which was in turn granted the privilege of selling oil and coal in Italy at a price below the world market. Ths amount of business specified was done in the first eight months there- after, making unnecessary the rencwal, which increases the amount for thz next eight months to 350,000,000 lire Russia Exhausts Credits. ‘The original idea was for the amount of Italian goods sold in Russia to be increased to 350,000,000 lire the szcond year of the treaty and to 500,000,000 the third year, but Russia, under the impetus of its five-year plan, had to buy more than anticipated, resulting in the credit established being exhausted |in the first eight months of «the first year. The basis of the agrecment is that each country gets from the other the products she needs most. Russia gets manufactured erticles and Italy gets raw ~materfals, Russia sends Italy wheat, petroleum products, lumber, coal and furs. Italy sends back electrical machinery, mine machinery, airplanes, automobiles, ball bearings. Imports Essentials Only. Russia imports ess2ntlals only, usually centralizing her purchases at a commer- cial office here, but frequently sending specialists on particular missions. Under the old agreement a certain percentage of the credits was allocated to specific categories of goods. Under the expand:d agreement no restriction as to quantity of any goods is men- tioned. The progress of the ‘Russian ofl in- dustry under the old agreement was in- dica'ed by the fact that Russia sup- plied Italy with one-fourth of her gas- oline, two-fifths of her kerosene and three-fifths of her fuel oil. .

By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, April 28.—The wife of an American engineer, just cut of Soviet Russia after having lived there American engineers. “Stay out of Russis ‘That message, sh> thing the wives of some of her hus- band’s American assoclates said to her before she left them a few weeks ago. “They asked me very earnestly,” s! said, “to tell the wives of cther Amer! cans who may be going to Russia on contracts how they were living and to urge them to stay at home.” For necarly a year Mrs. Manie Ida Warren, Chicago and S: Francisco clubwoman, in Kalata, in the Ural Mountains, where her husband. Clarence Warren, an engineer for the Allis-Chalmers Co. of Milwaukee, di- racted the construction of a mill. Wives Are Not Wanted. ‘The Soveit does not want the wives of American engineers to come to Rus- sia, either, Mrs. Warren sald, “bzcause, wit’. thzir demands for better food, sanitation and comforts, they cause t2o much trouble and too much discontent smong the Russians.” Her own lot, she sald, was better than that cf the other American women in Kalata, because at least she had com- foriable quarters—a six-room house furnished, in part, out of a cathedral. But even 50, she- has come home with a disease called “Russian calet,” which, she said, is brought on by nervous in- digestion and bad food. She expects to go into a hospital in San Prancisco for treatment. “Nearly every American who stays in Russia_for any lel of time comes out sick,” she said. “It’s especially hard on the women and children. Oppressed by Fear. “You can’t be happy in Russia. You are oppressed all the time by a terrible, nameless fear. You get cold with terror. Americans may not have any reason to be afraid—but they pick it up from the Russians. “For the Russians are afraid. Thcy seldom smile. They are in terrible want. There is, too, constantly the feeling that there is going to be an- other revolution, bloodicr, perhaps, taan the last. “The Russians, except for the inter- preters, are not permitted to assoclate with foreigners. I was allcwed servants, but as soon as I got them fed up and | they began to spe: a_little English, | they were taken away. The head of my | husband’s plant was called to Moscow | because_he permitted me, after I had | cut a Christmas tree in the forest and | trimmed it with cotton and whatever | cls> 4 could find, to invite some cf the | Russian children to a party. | Had to Have Police Escort. | “I didn’t have to wait in line at the Soviet s:cres as the Russians did. But they used to hiss me. I had to have a | police escort to get through. Since we | left, I've heard, they've had to change the rules and make the American wom- en stand in line, too, because the Rus- sians resented 1t so. “It cost us from $200 to $300 a mon‘'h to get the barest necessities. Butter ran from $1.50 to $10 a pound and eggs cost 50 to 70 cents aplece—when you could get them. Meat was cheap enough, but full of worms. Toward the last we couldn’t ge. white flour, but a mixture of white and black. It was peculiar stuff. The bread was nearly always half raw in the middle of th> loaf. “We used to get a little less than a pint of milk a day, but we had to buy the food for the cow. We used to get a few geese, too, by paying for their food while they ware being raised. There was no fresh fruit save a few very poor apples in the Summer, and no fresh vegetables except some soft, much to- matoes and a few pale, lemon-colored carrots. ‘Water and Soap Lacking. “I think what the American women minded most, though, were the sanitary cond tions, which were unspeakable, and the lack of water and soap. All the water used in Kalsta had to be hauled and scap—there just wasn't any.” But at that, Mrs. Warren said, the Americans were much better off than the Russians. “Our neighbors had a pet dog,” she sald. “One night I heard a shot, and he came running, vc'mmpenn‘.‘l His master came after him, seized him by the collar, and dr: him around be- hind the woodshed. I heard another shot. I went over with my interpreter to see what was the matter. “‘My children are hungry’ he said grufly. ‘My little boy needs a coat.’” It was: King to See American Comedian.
