2 Faithful Members tf Com

By JLOCIS P. LOCHNER

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. Soon we shall accept

In Cornell university's physics

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.

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

Miller commands 0,000 officers
