Soviets Announce They Will
Try for Rule Over World's
Wheat.
WASHINGTON, May 1.-(P)--The
international grain conference at
Rome proved the stage setting Rus-
sia perhaps has awaited for drama-
tic announcement that Russian
farms and Russian ships are ready
to make history in the wheat mar-
kets of the world.
While the conference idled along.
wanting to do many things to bring
production in line with consumn-
tion, but scarcely daring to take a
lead in any direction, Russia was
silent.
Then, in a blazing speech, the de-
fiant Abraham Kissin, soviet dele-
gate, tore aside the pattern of*ex-
port allotment and disclosed the
Russian bear where everyone feared
he would be-athwart the path
other nations wanted to follow.
Not only will Russia continue to
expand wheat production, he said,
but also continue the policy of un-
derselling competitors. She must do
that, Kissin said, because Russia
expects to pay for $500,000,000
worth of imports a year through
the sale of wheat.
Some observers consider Kissin's
speech a large factor in the break-
ing-up of the conference and the
calling of a new one to begin in
London May 18.
Russian wheat has been the sur-
prise of the world markets for
eight months. Each month has seen
the trade predict the end of soviet
shipments, but each brought a new
flow from the vast "collectized"
farms.
A year ago Russian exported
about 6,000,000 bushels. So far this
year she has exported about 100,-
000,000 bushels.
Kissin told the conference Russia
was on the way back to her old
position in the world wheat trade-
domination of the export market.
No country ever exported as much
wheat as Russia did before the war.
Not long ago, in trade discussions
with Canada, soviet officials said
Russia intended to put 250,000,000
bushels on the market from the
crop now growing.
INDIAN TRIBES SUE

Northwest Aborigines Plan Legal
Battle to Recover $100,000.
SPOKANE, Wash., May 1.--(IP)-
Indians of the nrthwest have
found a new battle ground and
new instruments of warfare.
The courtroom is the scene of the
fight and the weapons are affidav-
its, briefs and writs, which they
have prepared in an effort to collect
from Uncle Sam nearly $100,000.
The Indians say in effect that
their great White Uncle appropri-
ated several thousand square miles
of Indian lands, with hunting and
fishing rights attached, giving an
I. O. U. in the form of a treaty and
that the Indians never were re-
The results of a two-week stay at
the University Fresh Air camp on
Patterson lake to the under-privi-
leged boys for whom a University
Tag day will be held Wednesday,'
are revealed in case studies of for-
mer camp boys, as compiled by
Marshall Levy, of the sociology de-
partment.
Levy describes in his analyses the
opportunities which the boys, all
extremely poor and from tenement
districts, secure at the camp to
meet and discuss social problems of
the day with University student
counsellors.
He tells of a boy, whom he calls
"R. U."
"As a boy he caddied during
spare time to help his family, and
in 1928, after his season at camp,
he secured a job as janitor of a
church, where he worked mornings.
He went to high school in the aft-
ernoons.
"In November, 1929, he got a job
as call boy for a railway company,
and after saving his money for col-
lege, he entered the University of
Detroit last fall."
All the boys have not fared so'
fortunately, however, Levy proved.
One youth, whose father had died
when he was 12 years old, man-
aged to go to trade school after
his camp days in 1924.
Yet needing funds, he had to se-
cure employment carrying packages
for a department store at $14 a
week. Getting work as a railway
company messenger, he managed
to be promoted until he was dis-
charged in January of this year.
Japanese Women Win
Right for Priestesship
KYOTO, Japan, May 1. -(/P)-
Japanese women finally have won
the right to become full-fledged
Buddhist priestesses.
In religious circles this move .is
regarded as likely to revolutionize
the preisthood.
Training schools for w o m e n]
priests have been established in
Tokyo and Kyoto.
The revised regulations apply to
temples under the jurisdiction of
the Nishi-Honganji of Kyoto, the
largest Buddhist organization in
Japan, and the head organization
of the Shinshu sect.
The priestesses will be allowed
to retain their bobbed hair, instead
of having their heads shaved like
the men. They may use a touch of
face powder, too, and perhaps a
suggestion of rouge for the lips.
But their gowns are restricted to
black in order to prevent the pos-
sible evils of vanity arising from
garments decorated with gilt foil
or bright colors.
Initiative in bringing about fem-
inine priests was taken several
years ago by the Buddhist Women's
association of the Nishi-Honganji.

SITY FRESH AIR
? BY SOCIOLOGIST
His family is now destitute."
Another boy, whose career Levy
has followed for more than seven
years, is indicative of the type of
child whom the Fresh Air camp is
trying to help by providing two
weeks of open air, away from thea
drudgery of work at 10 years of
age.
With an insane father as a hand-
icap, "J. L. received his working
papers in 1926, a year after his
summer at camp, and found a job
in a spaghetti factory..
After four different jobs in the{
course of a year and a half, during
which time he earned a maximum
salary of $20 a week, and the com-
mendation of his employer, he was
cut to part time work in March
of 1930, and discharged in July.
Last month, at the age of 20, "he
was delivering bread for less than
his last job," held when he was in
his 'teens.
The boys who attend the Univer-
sity camp are in need not only of
finances, but also of fresh air and
good health, George Hofmeister,
'31, chairman of the Fresh Air
drive, commented last night. In
appealing for student contributions,
he declared that although a con-
temporary business depression is
supposedly at a height now, a dol-
lar, or 50 cent contribution would
be worthy not only as support for.
the camp, but especially as an aid
to the physical and moral improve-
ment of the underprivileged boys.
American Will Operate
on Siamese King's Eyes
NEW YORK, May 1. - P- King
Prajadhipok of Siam is relying on
the skill of an American stranger
to save his royal eyes from blind-
ness.
The American-trained hands of
Dr. John M. Wheeler, New York
eye surgeon, will wield the knife
which is to remove a cataract that
threatens the king's sight.
His Majesty's choice of surgeon
indicates that he is impressed by
the scientific progress made in this
country.
Dr. Wheeler is a Vermonter, as
taciturnly modest as his fellow New
Englander, Calvin Coolidge. A na-
tive of Burlington, he was entirely
educated in the United States, a
fact of which he is especially proud.
Graduated from the University of
Vermont in 1902 with a B. A. de-
gree, he received his M. D. letters
in 1905 and was made a master of
science the next year.

Forner Sultan's Dentist Leads
Fight of Pauper Heirs
for Huge Fortune.
ISTANBUL, May L-1fIP)-One of
the big;est money contet.s in hi-
tory, the chimi of 21 heirs of Sul-
tan Abdul Hamid the Red for his
olossal fortune, is returning to the
imelight through the efforts of one
Inan.
After 12 years of struggle, Dr.
Sany Gunzberg, dentist to three
sultans, one caliph, and to Must a-
pha Kemal, president of the new
Turkey, is mapping a fresh cam-
paign as representative of the heirs.
The rmixed tribunals of Istanbul
have refused to handle the case,
which involves wealth of the rich-
est monarch of the modern world.
His property, sweeping through
Mesopotamia, the oil-fields of Mos-
sul, Palestine, Syria, Tripoli, and
Greece, was estimated at a billion
dollars.
These properties brought the sul-
tan a private revenue of four mil-
lion gold liras, or $20,000,000 an-
nually. Fifty thousand of the sul-
tan's title deeds are in existence.
In their fight to regain the estate,
21 penniless heirs, six widows, nine
daughters, and six sons are up
against four governments - Great
Britain, France, Italy and Greece-
who control lands that were a part
of the Ottoman Empire before the
world war.
One government, that of Kemal-
ist Turkey, is on the side of the six
widows, whose Turkish citizenship
it recognizes.
One man, a Jewish dentist of
Istanbul, is the heart and brains
of the fight. He is representative
of the heirs and representative in
Turkey of an American group which
is pushing the claims, the Ottoman
Imperial Estates Incorporation,
whose headquarters are inM Rich-
mond, Va., and whose capital is
$5,000,000. This man is Dr. Gunz-
berg.
"It was as imperial dentist," he
said, "that I felt it my duty to un-
dertake the defense of the desti-
tute Ottoman house.
"As a humanitarian I appeal to
the royal families of England and
Italy and to their jewel-boxes in
which still sparkle the brilliants
and diamonds given to them by
Sultan Abdul Hamid, to see that
their governments restore to that
sultan's penniless heirs the prop-
erty which belonged to their sire.
"Have the courts of Italy and
England forgotten their friendship
with Abdul Hamid, and can they
condemn as they do the soviets'
treatment of the Russian royal
family while they themselves with-
hold rightful wealth from the sul-
tan's heirs?"
But the dynamic dentist-lawyer
is using weightier weapons than
rhetoric. He is setting in motion
the diplomatic machinery of the
Turkish republic to induce Great
Britain, France and Italy to indem-
nify Hamid's six widows.
