Italy (A') Maxim Gorky, Russia's most famous liv ing writer, Is rounding out his 68th year here on tho Day of Naples by working from nine to 14 hours a day. A bullet In his body from nn attempted sulcldo in IHHH, and his lunga worn by consumption, bo is moro vigorous than ho wan 20 or 30 years ago. This correspondent found him seated behind his desk in tho li brary of his villa. lie was wear ing a blue riannei sniri ouuoneu at the collar without a tie and a light brown pull-over sweater. His hnlr. now iron-gray, was close-cropped In Prussian fashion Ilis faco wore a look of perpetual worry, w.'th heavy linos between his eyes Ills sandy mustache drooped far below his mouth. . Tie was writing tho fourth vol ume of "Itystnnder," which he wants to make the monumental work of his life. Works Iiomr Hours Speaking nothing but Russian, he talked through his son Alexis, who spoke Italian. Corky told how ho rises at 7'30 every morning, begins work nt eight nnd finishes at one, rends from two to four nnd works from four to five. He resumes work at 5:30 nnd works until eight. Then ho often works from 0:30 until midnight or one. Such Is the man whoso health Is considered so delicate that ho can not live in Huxsla's rigorous cli mate and Is one of the few soviet citizens permitted to reside abroad. Half his time Is devoted to hU novels, the other half to the writ ing and supervising of soviet prop Uganda. Ho Is an ardent, b''snc vlk. Wants V. i. Recognition "It Is lime," he said, "for the Vniled Elates to recognbe Die So- vlet republic. j "Doth countries have a great deal to gain from an exchange of their experience nnd products. Russia has need of American In dustrial and commercial organiz ers. , America has need of Russian products. "This Is my apodal message to America I wish you would convey." Twenty-four years Ago he viited the United Htates. Society, which nt first Idolized him, treated him as an outenst when-it wns learned that t.he woman with whom he was traveling was not hi wife. ' A year later he married her. "I bave no wish to return to the United Htates," ho said with a half smllo. i Mmo. florky lives In Moscow, but visits, her husband twice a year. Iniids ItiiKsltin 'Literature' Ho snld Russian literature after the revolution Is showing consider able promise. "Russian modorn literature," he said, ".is distinguished from Kurn pean ' and American because it Is positive instead of negative tries to construct instead of to destroy. "It Is a literature of work, of the unification of Russia, of her awak ening literary consciousness, how t'hat, ltuIn's 57 languages are fusing and Illiteracy Is waning, "Russian drama, however, Is worse, than bofore tho revolution.; Only good comedies are being pro duced." Denies 'Persecutions Oorky replied negatlvoly to the question whether the decline of religion In Russia would affect her literature. "The outside world," he said, "has a Wrong Idea about religious persecutions In Russia. Churches are ordered turned Into halls or theaters only when they are no longer used hy sufficient number of worshippers. Priests are ar rested only when they intrigue against tho government. The peo ple have- religious freedom." The famous Runslnn concluded by saying iRussln did not want nnd would not seek war. that she wnnt ed peace to work out her future.

Co-Ops Tor 'J.iUHUrno Farmers There are l:,(Mtu farm coopera tives representing approximately 2,nu0,00o of the nation's R.tMio.noo farmers.

There has been serious world over-production in wheat and, to some extent. In cotton. There has been some leaning toward the theory that neither the Wheat nor tho cotton will find nn outlet nnd In that IiiHlnnce exert as much pressure on the market as if they actually were in It. Acreage Reduction Kxpectod A third revolutionary,-feature of the year has been a. concerted stand, by the White House, the department of agriculture and the farm hoard for surplus . acreage reduction. On the whole material acreage reductions In both wheat and cot ton are expected. Crop expansion has boon the highlight of the American agri cultural program for decades anil efforts of the department of ag riculture always have turned to an increase In yields. . The new order contemplates the adjustment of American produc tion to American dmand in view of constantly increasing world production and the narrowing of export outlets.
