Career of Leon Trotzky Studded With Attempts To Unseat Rival Stalin Long Battle Between Personalities Provides Landmark in Revolutionary History; Storm and Strife Fill Life (Editor's Note: The turbulent car accused of aeeklng to foster a Rusal lowing article by Dewttt MacKenele, an Associated Presa correspondent.) By Hewitt MucKenzle AsvwcUted Presa Staff Writer. NEW YORK, Aug. 10. (AP) If Leon Trotzky la behind a terroristic plot against the Soviet government, aa charged in Moscow, It will not be the Jl rat time that "Napoleon of Bol shevism" haa tried to drive from his power hla hated rival, Dictator Jo seph Stalin, After Lenin's death Stalin selred and held the dictatorship which ! l.eon Trot fit j , , TrotJty claimed for hlmaelf. The battle which ensued between these personalities has provided one of the lnndmarkfl of history. Long In rUIIti For the paat 15 years, nearly tn of which have been spent in exile, Trotzky has directed hla flaming shaft at Stalin from hidden places. Despite his absence rom Rumla, he has been feared there, Just a a his name can nee a shudder to pass through the cabinets of Europe.' More than once he haa been charg ed with trying to cause rod revolu tions In various countries, Trotzky'e life has been filled with storm and strife, it haa been a pro cession of vicissitudes which have carried him with violent swings from prison to supremo power, from pov erty to plenty, until today ho la a man without a country.

Until Louis Is sent In against a fighter of Schmellng'a calibre again, the full extent of his recovery and hla greatness cannot be calculated. He left the experts and fans wonder ing. Louts learned one lessen from his bout with rV'hmellng he kept his Jabbing left higher as a safeguard against right-hand blowa. Nothing Prmed. But. as Referee Artie Donovan said: "Except to say that Louis appeared a little more alert, what else did It prove?" Julian Black, one of Louis' man ager, claimed the fight proved Louis Is the world's number 1 heavyweight. Jim Brad dock, the champion, and Max Hchmellng notwlthstnndlng. Joe's victory means he as great sa he was before he met flehmellng." said Black. "He's ready to tackle Behmellng anatn. We'd like to ar range a re-match before the outdoor season ends." Unless the development of the post 34 hours take another sudden shift, it's unlikely Louis will get an other chance this year at Bchmellng. The Oerman's next engagement with Braddock. He doesn't know when, but he reiterated today he will not consider any other opponent until he has an opportunity to recapture the title. The heavyweight championship sit uation still was tn a turmoil over Brad dock's request for what, amount ed to a year's postponement of hi title deferu In order to pet his In jured left hand mended, tf the New York State Athletic commission grants it, tt meana louls probably will have to wait until the mil of 1937 for a title shot.

Russia, In 1877, the son of a Jewish chemist. He began his revolt against society at the age of 16, when he waa expelled from school on the charge of having desecrated 4 sacred Ikon, an Image of the orthodox Rus sian church. He wu exiled to Siberia twice, but escaped each time. He waa expelled from one country after another, finally he came to New Vork where he atruggled for ex latence until he returned to Russia tn 1017 to Join the revolution. Prom being "Just a man of the streeta," Trotzky rose rapidly In power until he was second only to Lenin. Trotzky appeared the logical succes sor to the dictator, and made no secret of the fact that he so regarded himself., Howover. he overlooked an other and stronger leader Joseph Stalin. . Ousted by Stalin When Lenin was stricken with paralysis, Trotzky assumed' virtual dictatorship, but he did not hold It leng. After Lenin died, Stalin as sumed power. There followed a fierce warfare between the two, until Stalin finally forced his opponent Into exile in Turkey. Despite the fact that he was suf fering from , Incipient tuberculosis, malaria, heart trouble and gout, Trotzky worked Incessantly on his writings and on hla schemes. In 1032 the Soviet government for mally decreed his banishment "for all time. Shortly after Trotzky'a exile, he waa reported to be one of the leaders of a vast conspiracy to unseat Stalin. Russia Complains ' The next year, Russia complained to Turkey about TTotzky's activities. It waa unofficially said that serious economic sabotage, aimed at the Stalin regime, was going on tn the Soviet under Trot&ky'a direction. In I93i Trotzky was charged by Moscow with being linked to a plot against Stalin's life. The new charge agnliut Trotzky. who haa been under medical treat ment In Oslo, comes on the heels of an Investigation by the Norwegian government Into the accusation by Norwegian fascists that ho was trying to foment revolutions In France and other countries. The government de cided there was nothing to the alie nations. IB PLEAD GUILTY (Continued from Page One) Calmly, almost with an air of bore dom. O. Evdoklmoff, former chairman of the Leningrad soviet, told the court how the terrorist entered the home of Orory Zinovieff, alleged leader of the conspiracy, to decide who would kill Stalin. "Zinovieff said the honor belonged to his group, not tha ones sent Into Russia by Trotaky, and he won the argument," Evdoklmoff Ketlfled. The reason Stalin was not killed, ha said, was Zlnovleff's "general wlshywsshlneiw." 5lalln temped Twice.

Cat WOULD VOU BATHES BE In a handbook of Instructions on resuscitation appears ft statement that the Instructions In the band book have been "approved" by the Amerloan Red Cross and about a dozen other organisa tions, societies, councils, bureaus and the like, al together a most Imposing weight of authority IX you are readily imposed upon by such "authority. The method this manual purports to teach as "approved" by the Incompetent "au thorftles" listed on the front page. Is the prone pressure method. The man who devised and Introduced this method la not mentioned by these eminent "authorities." It la custom ary, however, and perhaps courteous, to "mention the name of Shafer If you refer to the Schafer prone-pres sure method of artificial respiration. Not, of course, when you seek to mod ify the method, aa does the Ameri can Red Cross. The issue for 1938 included even a recommendation (with picture) that the victim of drowning be subjected to the Jack knife maneuver to "empty water out of the windpipe." But evidently the bright young man had some qualms about the wisdom of that deadly stunt, for UiO puzzled student of re suscitation la advised to "spend little' time upon this effort." For some In scrutable reason this quaint trick was omitted altogether from the 1920 edition of the manual. I wonder If some lowbred critic laughed out loud at the absurd pretenses of the Amer ican Red Croes and the dozen Im posing official bodies that "approved" this funny business?. Anyway, it was dropped In 1939 and hasn't been re suscitated since. In the correct method of applying prone-pressure both of the aubject's arms are extended well above the head. There are good reason for this. In the Incorrect method as taught and "approved" by the Red Cross and the organizations that blindly follow the Red Cross lead, one of the subject's arms Is placed under the aubject's head. Thla position may be more satisfactory for taking pictures to print In pamphlets or manuals distributed by the Red Cross, and yes man organizations but It Is not so good for the subject If the subject actually requires resuscitation. In the first place, when both arma are extended well above the head the subject's thorax Is In the most fav orable position for inhalation.

One thing Mr. Morgenthau neglect ed to mention In his tax letter was that the relief appropriation is not expected to last through the year. It waa well understood in congress that the current relief appropriation will be Insufficient to carry Mr. Hop kins through until next June 30 at the present rate of expenditure. Thus, while Mr. Morgenthau may or may not refrain from asking for more taxes, he will have to seek it deficiency appropriation for relief. Mathematicians have figured that, at the present rate of relief expendi tures, the deficiency will be upwards of 9300,000,000. .

To the Editor: Why Is It that the press of the United States, when speaking of this man Coughlin. calls him the Reverend Father Coughlin? A man who seta himself up as a man of God and a teacher of the religion of Jeeu Christ and don't pretend to live up to any part of tt, a man who can associate wth the lowest, who will sit and listen to him call our noble president a communist and not only that but a liar and betrayer. Fine language for a man of God Isn't it? In my opinion It la thla man who wears the robe of a prleat, that is Uie liar and betrayer. He has the gall to make poor. Innocent people think that he can take the place of Jesus Christ and forgive their sins and pray them out of place called purgatory, regardless of the sins they commit. and take every dollar they are able to pay, for doing It. Talk about Judaa Lncarlot. If he 1 not a Judas there never wa one on the face of the earth. And he la sure gathering In the shekels, the same a Judas did only on a much larger scale. Tt is my humble opinion he will sometime stand up before a Judge that will give him some pretty hard questions to answer. However, X Just want to say that those words, "liar and betrayer." spell hla doom. He will be accused on the face of the earth and win go down to the dust from which he sprung, unwept and unhonored.
