Washington politicians think
the Governor Roosevelt boom
for President will be damaged
'by New York's shameful v'u-e
M'lnulals.
If Governor Roosevelt were
responsible for any of the viee
or any of the scandal, the hor
rible blackmailing of women by
n combination of police, magis
trates and stool pigeons, Roose
velt's presidential prospects, of
course, would be dead.
lint, as it happens, Governor
Roosevelt is in no way respon
sible and, in addition it is
thanks to liim that the scandal
T has been exposed, and stone f
"the unspeakable criminals on
the bench, in the gutter and on
the police force chave a fair
prospect of going to jail.
Those at the top, responsible
and ten times as guilty, will
probably escape, unfortunately.
Justice was well described,
long ago, as a net that catches
little fish while the big fish
break through and escape.

Mr. Rockefeller, past 00, still

WASHINGTON. Dec. 1 (A) The
seventy-first congress convened at
noon today in final session but
noJ to work long. 0 0
The day was one for brief for
malities, with a political truce be

hiding the controversies to be
faced before Ma&h 4. Republicans
and democrats alike have placed
the first emphasis on legislation
to alleviate unemployment and to
help farmers who suffered by the
drought.
The first business was seating of
new members. The rest of the
program was confined to each
branch notifying the other It hud
met, and the sending of a commit
tee so to notify President Hoover.
Troubles Ahead
Despito. the most strenuous . ef
forts for consolidation between
factions that-- have been seen0 in
many a day, the, senators and rep
resentatives had before them a
Pandora's box of troubles, whose
lid they hated to lift.
All the leaders joined the presi

brief session, which must end
March -i, see passed every bit of
legislation; considered necessary.

A last minute move yesterduy
from one portion of the legislative
program. Senator Robinson of
Arkansas, the demoTcrntic leader,

at the White House, agreeing in a
partial, non-partisan program of
unemployment and drought relief
bills.

Numberless bills were ready for

Representative Andrew, republican

The president's message will be
ready Tuesday and the legislative

Spokesman Says Five Year
Industrial Program May
Be Completed In Four
Years Agriculture
Greatly Increased. Claim.
I (Ctpyright, 1930. by the Attociated
Press, all rights reserved).
MOSCOW. Dec. 1. OP) In two
yeart of operation, Valerian V. Kui
byshev, president of the stato plnu
ning commission, asserts the Soviet
five-year industrialization plan not
only has uucceeded beyond expec
tation hut has given every prom
ise of completion within rour years
instead of five.
"Tho present tnsk," said M. Kui
byshev, who Is responsible for put
ting the rive-year plan Into opera
tion, "consists of fulfillment of the
plan before schedule; that la, with
in four years."
In un exhaustive report on the
first two years of the plan's opera
tion, which ended October 1, M.
Kuibyshev presented figures to
show an increase bevnnd the olan.
I r.ed production estimates In every
dopartmcnt mentioned.
Called Utopian
"Who does not remember the
clnltns advanced by the greatest
bourgeois economists and politi
cians that the estimates of the five
year plan were unreal, Utopian and
fantastic? Who .does not remem
ber the talk that the' were mere
hnlshevlst delirium? To this day
cries are heard of the failure of
tho far-reauhtng plan for the re
construction of the national econ
omy of the Soviet Union," he wrote.
In two years, M. Kuibyshev said,
total output in planned Industries
under Hiatlletka la estimated at 29,
:i:iS.000.0U0 I'ttbleB (about $14,690,
000.000). "The excess ot fulfillment of
I'lutllutka for the first two years
Is particularly remarkable in the
flalii'r on, liestyr ' industry; While
Platlletka provides In the field for
12,476,900,000 rubles, the actual out
put was 1:1.761,000,(100 rubles."
Building Advanced
M. Kuibyshev said building pro
gram figures are also far ahead ot
the Plaelletka estimate, and con
tinues to a discussion ot agricul
ture. "A very groat advance has
been made In the field of agricul-'
lure. The sown area increased
from 118,000,000 hectares la 1928
29 to 127.7000,000 In 1929-30."
Ho sulci that due to improved cul
tivation methods the gross grain
crop of this year was 86,500,000
Ions against 71,700,000 tons in 1929,
nn Increase of 20.6 per cent. Mar
ketable grain produce, he said, was
32.X per cent above Platlletka pro
visions. "Thus," he states, "the
grain problem has been fundamen
tally solved."
Farmers Join Hands
With regard to collective farm
ing, he says that upwards one-fifth
of peasant households hnve joined
In the collectives that is, that
more than 6,000.000 peasant house
holds have rejected Individual
farming nnd have taken up col:
Icctlve farming. The collectives
planted 36,000,000 hetares us com
pared with 20,600,000 planned for
the fifth year of Platlletka.
M. Kuibyshev proceeds with as
sertions marking success of social
ization of livestock, liquidation of
the kulak or landed peasant class,
surpassing of Platlletka quotas by
