Kalchcnko said Kagnnovich had made "grave and unfounded ac cusations" against the leaders of the Ukrainian Republic. Kalchcn ko said this was done while Ka ganovich was secretary of the Central Committee of the Ukrain ian Communist Party under Stal in's reign. Kalchenko's accusations were made at a meetinp of party prop aganda workers in Kiev Thursday and published in Pravda and oth er papers Friday. Marshal Zhukov, who vaulted into the membership of the pol icy - making Presidium in the Kremlin shakcup, told the Rus sian people the Soviet armed forces will rally solidly around the Communist Party. In a speech which appeared in all the papers, he said the So viet Army, Navy and Air Force would "defend our state to their last breath." Until the Kaganovich accusa tion was voiced, Molotov had been the most bitterly accused of the four leaders. But the big question in Moscow Friday was what was going to happen to the four.

BUSS ORchard 3-4486 Kansas Wheat Harvest Dealt Stunning Blow By LEO MARKS KANSAS CITY (A Heavy har vest rains have dealt a low blow to the nation's breadbasket, and it could be a stunning one for the farmer. Kansas may produce 50 million bushels less than last year. The same glum situation, in a lesser degree, appears true for Texas and Oklahoma. But what effect the adverse weather will have on the price of wheat nationally remains to be seen. Agriculture Department of ficials in Washington said they ex pect no sharp increases. About 900 million bushels from past crops now on hand is more than enough to absorb the blow, they said. Price quotations in the affected area, however, show symptoms of rising. There has been so much rain that Kansas fields look like rice paddies. Last week alone 15-inch totals were general over the state. Rain, hail and windstorms have beaten the grain down into a twist ed mass of broken stems, matted like wet fur on the back of a soaked cat. Some fields are con sidered complete losses. The sun finally broke through this week in Kansas and some harvesting got under way. "It hasn't been this bad in 17 years," one grainman commented. Meanwhile, deterioration, weeds and rust a fungus were taking their toll of the ripe grain. Woman Scalped When Propeller Catches Hair SAN PABLO, Calif. IP - Mrs. Lucreta Galbraith's scalp was torn from her head after her long dark hair was caught in a cabin cruiser's propeller shaft Thursday.

Surgeons sent Deputy Sheriff Lester Clark racing back to the boat harbor to cut free the scalp skin, tightly tangled by hair to the shaft. Clark rushed back with the scalp and surgeons stitched it on Mrs. Galbraith's head. They hope the operation will result in a success ful healing and restoration of scalp and hair.
