LOCHNER 'Associated Press Correspondent) BERLIN, (AP) The general Louse cleaning which the undis puted boss of the communist movement, Joseph Stalin, started more than a year ago has thrown Into the discard two of the most picturesque 'figures in the Ger- able Clara Zetkin and redoubt able Ruth Fischer. Had' It not been for her ad ranced age and infirmity, Clara Zetkin would have shared the fate of Leon Trotzky, Christian RakoTsky, Gregory ZinoTieff, and other fallen gods of the communist movement. In fact, the inner councils had actually decided upon Clara Zemin's ex pulsion. Listening around among the rank and file of the membership. however, the party basses found that the bosom friend of Rosa Luxembourg and Karl Lieb- knecht wag venerated in Ger many much as Nikolai Lenin is venerated in Soviet Russia. Had Clara Zetkin been physically able to continue to play a role. Stalin's followers would not have hesitated to read her out of the party even in the face of this popularity with the masses. But the aged . revolutionist, now 73 years old, is an Invalid. She is almost blind. Her asthma prevents her from delivering public, speeches. She Ikes in Bir kenwerder, a quiet, residential suburb of Berlin, where she passes almost unnoticed. More from force of habit than because she has any active work to do, she comes to the Reichstag once every few weeks a rather pathetic figure as she hobbles along, supported on one side by a younger woman, leaning on the other side on a heavy walking stick. So the communist procession marches on without her. As one party leader put it. "Her fdeal ogy is now quite bourgeois, but as she's so old we've decided not to bother to discipline her." Ruth Fischer, too, incurred the disfavor of Stalin. Forgotten were her services in practically winning the post-war Spartaclsts over to Moscow when they were wavering between allying them selves with the independent so cialists or the communists. For gotten were here fiery speeches as. floor leader in the Reichstag, where a full house was always assured when she was slated to address the solons. Because she dared oppose Sta lin as not revolutionary enough, she was promptly put under the ban. She struggled to the last, made repeated trips to Moscow ti fight her case, but was ultim ately ousted from the party. For a while she tried to rally an opposition group about her. Then she grew weary of the com bat, and disappeared from the political arena entirely. One now finds her working daily in the Industrial borough of Britz, ad Jacent to Xeukoelln, the scene of last Mayday's communist up rising. She has a Job as visiting nurse, and one can see her climbing rickety stairs and investigating Impoverished homes. bringing such cheer as the city's limited finances will permit. As she Is a woman of indefatigable good humor, the families on her visit ing list are happy at her appear ance. Some day, however, Ruth Fischer intends to return to poli tics. In fact, she Is already try Ing to make her peace with Sta Hip. She knows from the fate of Karl Radek that the first thing one must do to be readmitted to grace is to be absolutely "good" In the Stalin sense. So she sup ports the party through thick and thin, even though she is no longer a member, and takes care to let Moscow know that she is . doing so. "I think she has been to Can ossa almost long enough, the same party leader who discussed Clara Zetkin's case observed wistfully. "She has behaved lor ally and has, I think, learned her lesson.

Bis ear h the new Dodce Brothers Six Paslacae Ceape, Russian 'White Army' Is Still Considehring Means Of Taking Control Again By Howard W. Blakeslee (Associated Press Science. Editor) ITHACA. N. T.w (AP) Mot all target practice la confined to guns, big game hunters' and their companions in adventure. - In Cornell university's physics laboratory Dr. Frederick Bedell is doing some scientific sharpshoot- lng with an instrument that turns sounds into streaks of light. This professor s device is de signed as a test for voice-culture, music study and tor assisting the totally deaf to see when their pro nunciation is correct. His experi ments are conducted under an Au gust Heckscher grant. Its scientific name is the "stab ilised oscilloscope. A perfect note, or well-pronounced word creates a definite pattern and. watching this, the student learns to correct misttakes. Resembling a radio cabinet in 1 appearance, the instrument baa one large, round white glass eye, about six inches In diameter. When anyone talks, sings whistles or plays a musical instrument, a line of green light streaks across this eye. A stream of electrons inside the box creates the light, which dances with a wavy motion as long as sound continues. Actually it is no line of light at all, but rather a tiny green spot of light that moves across the glass and jumps back to repeat the trip so many times per second that the human eye sees the spot as an un broken line. The spot alternates from 50 to more than 5,000 times a second. In this jumping action the sharpshooting enters. Unless the spot returns to the exact point of space at exactly the right time, it will not repeat correctly, and there will be two green lines in stead of one. Dr. Bedell employs a hand knob I to place the timing of the spot ia a mn)i nn Moscow, ha Bro- near the right place.

By JOHN EVANS (Associated Press Staff Writer) PARIS (AP) When General Alexander Paul Koutiepoff disap peared mysteriously from the heart of Paris at midday, Janu ary 26, the world suddenly learn ed of an unarmed army of many thousands of "white" Rusians, who hope some day to help over throw the Soviet government. There is a reward of $40,000 for the return of the general or the arrest of his kipnapers The commander-in-chief of the Russian exiles, walking from his home to headquarters, appears to have been induced to enter a big closed automobile accompanied by policeman, now supposed to have been an Imposter. The gen eral's friends charge he was ab ducted by the feared "Gaypayou," Moscow's political police, to be tortured until he revealed the se crets of his own anti-soviet organ ization. Soviet officials and French com munists laugh at this charge. They emphasize the lack of proof and counter with suggestions that Koutiepoff disappeared in a plot to discredit the Soviets and cause friction between Moscow and France. General KouUpoff was right- hand man of Baron Wrangel, the commander of the last "white" armies that were beaten off by the then newly-formed soviet re public in 1920. He was designated by the late Grand Duke Nicholas, uncle of the czar, to succeed the latter as head of the White Rus sians. Now .since Koutiepoff has dis appeared, the movement is led by General Eugene Karlovitch Miller, who was chief of staff in Wrang- ell's army. General Miller was first brought to international at tention when he was made com mander of tbe Archangel district in 1919 and later became foreign minister of the provisional gov ernment erected there to bar the northward progress of the com- her into membership again, but she will have to do the humblest kind of party work until we are quite sure of her permanent conversion." munis ts. He joined Wrangel when the northern government collaps ed. Thousands of the czar's officers form a framework for the army of exiles. It has been said that Miller commands 0,000 officers and men of the old Russian ar mies, scattered throughout Eu rope. There are in Paris alone nearly 100,000 Russians and as many just outside. They do no tflatter themselves they are strong enough to. march on Moscow, but they say the sov iet regime will end "as have all such regimes," and when the deb acle comes in Russia, a month or a year or ten years nence, iney are determined to be ready with trained commanders to turn mobs into armies. They have a regular war col lege.

Its existence, and an explana tion of why it works, was uncov ered in a seieniificexpedition re cently completed by Dr. Stanley D. Porteous of the University of Hawaii. He traveled through parts o! central and northwestern Austra lia where white men seldom go.
