NEW YORK, March 20 -ffV
Valentine A. Gubitchev went back
to Russia today with a hug and
kiss from , his wife and a luke
warm good - luck wish for the
"other woman," Judith Coplon.
The stubby Russian engineer
diplomat, convicted with Miss
Capon of plotting to spy for the
Soviet Union, was put aboard the
Polish liner Batory by a small
army of federal and city police
and kept under guard until, the
ship was well out of New York
harbor. "
By going home "never to re
turn,", the 33-year-old Gubitchev
escaped a 15-year prison sen
tence. What he might be letting
himself in for a hero's welcome?
Disgrace as a bungler who got
caught? no one this side of the
iron curtain could say.
Hanrimf f 1 Hnhitehtv was
whisked to the pier after Federal
Judge Sylvester J. Ryan suspend
ed the prison sentence on condi
tion that he leave this country at
once. Six motorcycle policemen,
sirens wide open, escorted the pri
son van and seven escort cars.
Aboard the Batory, dark, viva
cious Lydia Gubitchev waited in
their cabin. He hugged and kissed
her as soon as his manacles were
was very glad they're going home
together.
Miss Coplon stayed behind, free
In $60,000 bail, facing up to 25
years in prison If her appeals are
turned down.
Today, before he was put aboard
the ship, the Russian was asked if
he had any last message for Miss
Coplon.
Gubitchev shrugged.
"Do you wish her luck?" a re
porter asked.
- "Yes, luck," the Russian said.
His usually impassive face broke
Into smile. "I wish her luck," he

Farmers Plan
New Surplus
Potato Crop
WASHINGTON. March 20-WV-
The nation's fanners plan a 1950
crop planting- pattern which could
produce another potato surplus
and add to an already big supply
of livestock feed grains. .
An agriculture department sur
vey of producers March 1 plant
ing plans indicated a potato acre
age which, at 1948-40 average
yields to the acre, would produce
854,000,000 bushels more than the
government's goal of 335,000 bush
els.
Such a crop would make it nec
essary for the government to
spend additional millions of dol
lars to buy up surplus supplies to
support grower prices. Potato
price supports have cost the gov
ernment about $500,000,000 since
1943 and have led to demands for
rigid controls on future

Fallon urged strengthening of
the economic position of western
democracies by coordinated effort
in production and trade, rather
than reliance upon the U. S. tax
payer's pocketbook.
Provide Leadership
He put it this way: U. S. should
provide more leadership, fewer
dollars to Europe so that its free
nations produce more goods and
take advantage of Latin America's
cash purchasing power. All na
tions involved "should pay their
own way."
Fallon stressed that Laun Am
erica has a rapidly rising standard
of living in an .expanding "pio
neer" economy which is producing
new wealth and therefore has the
cash to buy needed machinery and
other finished products.
The speaker had his lighter
side. He drew many a laugh while
dispelling some generalizations
that North Americans have for
South America. '
Work for Yankee Dollars
"The South American standard
of living is low enough that peo
ple there get dollars by working
for them. (Like mining strategic
materials.)
"The rhumba was unknown to
Latin America outside Cuba until
North Americans introduced it.
Canasta went north from Argen
tina and probably will get back to
the rest of South America in the
same way.
"Don't ask South Americans
what they do with their Indians:
they're all part Indian and proud
OI u.
"Communism doesn't flourish
enough in Latin America to bring
it Marshall plan dollars. Colombia
outlawed the communist party
and now has some of the best
communist cemeteries outside
Russia. Most Latin countries have
sent Soviet embassies home but in
Washington, D. C there are so
many Russians we're considering
teaching Russian language in our
schools.
Dr. Daniel Schulze. Knife and
Fork president who introduced
Fallon, also discussed club elec
tion results which named as new
directors E. H. Mattson of Wood
burn and L O. Arena and Dr. Ro
bert D. Gregg of Salem.
