Russia Changed, Degraded Says Idaho Traveler who Makes Extensive Journey Henry ford Buys 1888 Model; Ifs Ready Upon Call MUNICH, Germany. Sent. 24 (AP) Henry Ford, after ex amining with great interest the first automobile built in Ger many in 1885, which is displayed at the Deutsches museum, has bought one almost as old for his ewa museum. It is an 1888 model Benz. a product of Karl Benx. who had designed the three-wheeled. cnain-onvea reticle which Ford baa seen in the museum. A Russia so changed and so degraded he has "no use for it" is reported by G. Defflnger, Idaho Falls rancher, who has recently returned from an extensive trip through that country. Deffinger's statement came to the attention of A. A. Brothen, 2325 Myrtle avenue, Salem, who knew Deffin ger when they both lived in Idaho. Deuinger a report, in part, fol lows: "I have no use for Russia," stated Mr. Def finger . "It is so dif ferent now than when I lived there. "The Soviet government Is very oppressive and while the people living under that rule bate and dislike it they do not dare to say a word or use an expression against It for that would mean a long time in a terrible Russian prison or to be shot to death. "The people hope and believe that within five years from now that country will be on a settled basis and their rights and land and property restored, but the most Intelligent and those who un derstand things there do not have such hopes. American Machinery Used "All, everything belongs to the Soviet Union. I visited mostly the agricultural sections; the crops are good, the wheat is the best I ever say and American machinery There was an amusing Inci dent connected with the delivery of the relic. Ford made a cas ual call for his car to pick him up at his hotel this morning .and as he emerged from the door he found the wheeling 888 model waiting for him at the curb. is everywhere tractors, com bines, harvesters and farm imple ments Imported from the United States. "The good crops mean nothing to the people who produce them. The government owns and con trols the land, tells each man Just what he shall plant and how and when, how he shall cultivate It and when the harvest time comes he has nothing to say and nothing to do but work. He is issued so much tobacco, so much to drink. so much food and so much cloth ing and that is all and it Is all alike. Just enough to barely keep one going. "If anything happens to the clothes issued it is Just too bad. for you do not get ny more un til the next issue. One has to learn to economize and live very care fully and closely; exerything Is supervised by grasping and graft ing Soviet officials and the poor people dare say nothing. "There is no liberty; there is nothing hopeful, there is no de sire or advantage in trying to get along; the laziest man who does Just enough gets as much as the man who works hard. There is no chance to save as everything is taken from you by the officers and if one does through any means get a little bit ahead he is likely to be shot for it " They call it Socialism and every man equal to his neighbor, but the people do not like it and could not live there. Everybody wants to come to America, and when I told them of the farms to be had and that Just ordinary folks own homes and cars and go hunting and fishing and enjoy life, they did not believe me."

Such was the experience of the students and professors, ul der leadership of Prof. Herman Clark, on a trip to country above Lebanon last week end. Their explorations yielded a huge mammoth tusk, six or eight feet long; a tooth which the students are not certain belonged to the same animal; and an artifact or instrument used by ancient peo ples. The mammoth tusk Indicate life in this section just follow ing the ice age, or from 25,000 to 50,000 years ago, however the explorers have not deter mined to what age or group of people the artifact found be longs. The bones were disin terred from some five feet un der the ground, and were found in blue muck clay under springs which are thought to have exist ed for several thousand years. Ihis is not the first time evi dences of pre-historic life have been found in this section, other students having made findings in explorations carried on in re cent years. 11 GOTH DM msm2)(msr( worn a (g0 275 N.
