Non-Toilers Rejoice Over Restored Rights In Soviet Republic Today; First Step In Stalin’s Proposal Every Right Except Vote Returned to Ostracized Class — Success of New Order Depends On Ad- ministration of Ofli_c' 1S, {Moscow, March 25.—(UP)—Mil- lions of hitherto cruelly suppressed “class cnemies” of the Soviets re- Joiced today at the removal of re- strictions which for ycars have set them apart, despised, ostracized, and deprived of human rights. In the most important social de- cree of recent years, the central executive committee has ordered Ppractically every right of communist citizenship—except the franchise— restored to the *“non-toilers,” which include remnants of the former rul- ing class, priests, private traders, “kulaks” (property-owning farmers) and other disfranchised elements, Follows Stalin Plan The decree is regarded as em- phasizing the demand of Joscph Sia- lin for a chang¢ in methods and the elimination of force and terroriza- tion as a means of furthering the Soviet's program. The main object- ive of the government—suppression of the kulaks and collectivization of industry and agriculture—is in no way altered. The lot of° the “class enemies” will still be hard. The decree did not remove one of the most serious dis- abilities against this part of Rus- sia's-population, which is exclusion from the trade. unions, through which they were prevented from ob- taining work. But in many other ‘ways, it softens their lives and gives evidence of the Kremlin's insistance upon humanizing its political cam- Ppaigns. The decree provides that loss of the franchise shall not carry with it such disabilities as expulsion from homes and cities, denial of food ra- tions and medical aid, exclusion of children from the benefits of edu- cation, and scores of other oppres- sive regulations. May Appeal for Rights The disfranchised citizens may appeal for restoration of their rights, and pending a final decision, may enjoy those rights, excepting only permission to vote. Meanwhile, a special investigating commission will study the lists of non-voters throughout the union and the con- ditions in which they are living to- day. To eliminate widespread abuse of Ppower by local officials, the decree specified that only special clection boards shall have the right to de- wrive a citizen of the vote. Other _ rganizations which have taken this ight upon themselves must desist. Children of parents who are dis- franchised if more than 23 years old, will not share the disability of their elders. The decrce further establishes that in agricultural districts full col- lectivizatign of farms, confiscation of property and expulsions must be limited to actual kulaks, and not applied to other disfranchised per- sons, such as former landlords, Priests, and others under the ban. Much Depends on Officials Much of the effectiveness ofy the dccree, it was believed today, will depend upon the cfficiency and intel- ligence of the local governments, It 1t is carried out as the Moscow gov- ernment apparently earnestly de- sires, the most serious hardship un- der which millions of Russians have led a precarious “existence, will be removed. The deerce follows an earlior declaration by which children of the suppressed class were relieved from suffering the lack of food and medi- cal attention which characterized treatment of their parents THO BOATS STRANDED IN ICE OF LAKE MICHIGAN Mail Vesscl Fast in Floc Joined By | Coast Guard Ship, Also Un- able to Work Free Leland, Mich., March 25 (P)—After battling in the ice of Lake Michigan for nearly 24 hours, a mail boat with four men aboard, and a Coast Guard power boat with a crew of six, were atill held fast with no relief in sight at an early hour this morning four miles off Manitou Island. The mail boat, a 30-foot craft in eommand of Captain Tracy Grosvi or, and carrying’ as passengers, Firestone of Manitou, Chris Neilson of Norfolk, Mich., and a man named Peterson of Ludington, Mich., broke a propeller shaft endeavoring to #emash through the ice and was ren- dered helpless. A Coast Guard boat was sent out from South Manitou to attempt a rescue and became stuck alongside the mail boat. The identity of the Coast Guard crew was not known. Late yesterday afternoon the fish- iIng tug Helen S. started from Leland to attempt a rescue, but without avail, and it was with much diffi- culty that she made her way back to port, arriving here at 10:15 p. m. Heavy blocks of ice were moving about in the vicinity of the stranded craft and much apprehension was felt for the safety of the crews and passengers. Stranded Ship Floated; Hotels Rejoice at Crowd Istanbul, Turkey, March 25 (P— The Deutsche Levant agents said to- day that their ship, The Oceana, which went aground off Tenedos, was afloat once more and was pro- ceeding to Tstanbul. Meanwhile the Turkish hotels are of the opinion it is an ill fog which blows nobody good, for they are do- ing a first rate business with the Oceana's passengers, who were re- moved from the ship and brought here. For the first time since the Wall street crash the hotels are filled. EW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, TUESDAY, MARCH 25, 1930. 17 CLAIMS RUSSIAN GENERAL IN JAIL FrenchPaper Says Koutipol Was Abducted in Normandy 25.—P—General Koutipoff, missing czarist leader, was said in La Li- berte, Paris afternoon newspaper, today to have been alive and in pri- son in Moscow as late as seven days ago. i - According to the newspaper, Gen- eral ~Koutipoff, who was chief of the Russian royalists throughout Europe at the time of his disap- pearance last January, was kidnap- ped by Russian agents and foreibly carried aboarda Russian steamer off the coast of Normandy on Jan- uary 26, The paper professed to give the exact spot of the embarkation on a map, and declared: *“We have awaited the moment when the secret service has received oficial confirmation of the above faets in order to make them public. X x X We now can affirm that General Koutipoff six days ago was alive in the Loubiankaia jail in Moscow.” An cditorial in the papqg called an Premier Tardicu to take the necessary steps to “‘punish the| guil / General Koutipoff's disappear- ance lust January, as he walked from his home to the nearby Ru sian Officers’ club, excited consider- able feeling in France where it was charged the Soviet government had arranged his abduction. Feeling ran high for sevelal weeks during which a small army of detectives sought to unravel the mystery. Soviet officials in Paris claimed the charges made against them by the royalists were merely attempts to discredit their government, WOMAN WHO LEFT BABY SENTENCED Heartless Mother Committed fo State Farm by Court After Judge M. D. testimony in police court today by local welfare workers, he committed Mrs. Katherine Kramer, 21, of 563 Burritt strect, to the state farm for women.

Neighbor told him the childis mother, Mrs. Kramer, made a practice of leaving him unattended on the street, and after taking the tot to the Day Nur- sery on ‘Winter street, the officer made a report and a warrant was issued. Probation Officer . C. Connolly testified that Mrs. Kramer has been housekeeper for widowers in this city and he learned from children in the houschold that the moral code was violated. So far as he knew, she was not a street walker, but he felt | she should be sent to the state farm for her own good, as she will not live with her husband in West Ha- ven and she has proved to be in- capable of retaining employment ex- cept in widowers' houscholds.
