RUSSIAN UNITY TO SAVE COUNTRY IS KERENSKY'S PLEA Former Leader Says Country Weak, Stalin Bankrupt- Reds In U.S. Ask Support New York, June 24. OP) Pessimistic of Russia'! chances with Germany, Alexander Ker ensky, once head of the invaded nation, urges Russians of all poli tical creeds to unite to save the country. Kerensky, who 24 years ago helped overthrow the czarist regime and briefly headed the provisional government until the bolshevik revolution forced him to flee, says his country Is weak and Joseph Stalin bankrupt. "Russia standi face to face with Hitler's Panrer divisions," he said yesterday. "She cannot expect direct assistance from anyone. Nevertheless, we Rus sian patriots are grateful to Prime Minister Churchill for his promise of giving the Rus sian people whatever help may be within the power of Eng land." He said Russians were de prived of the fruits of victory In the last World war by the "so-called revolutionary alms" of Lenin, but that the country's position today was "even more tragic." United States Communist party leaders In the United States declared the homeland was "waging a struggle for the cause of the freedom of all nations" and sked Americans to give full support to the soviet union. A joint statement issued by William Z. Foster, party chair man, and Robert Minor, acting party secretary, also called upon American workers to oppose all "those reactionaries of every stripe who seek In any manner to aid Hitler's attack against the soviet union." The Daily Worker, formerly official organ of the American communist party and frequent reflector of official party views since its purchase by private publishers last year, carried no editorial comment on the Ger man invasion but printed the Foster statement In full. The newspaper's page one had this banner line over the lead story: " 'Will crush foe,' Molotov says, calls nazl war a wanton act." A summary of Winston Churchill's address yesterday al so was carried. Niagara Cheated By Brave Officer Niagara Falls, N. Y., June 24 OP) A daring rescue near the brink of Niagara Falls was staged today by Patrolman Joseph Klein when he saw a woman, identified as Margaret Elmer, 63, Niagara Falls, retired school teacher, being swept toward the American rapids by the swift upper river current. Klein seized a life rope and waded into the river while vol unteers held the other end of the rope on shore. He grabbed her by the arm about 200 feet from the brink of the falls and both were hauled to safety. Cm Mali Trtbun want ads. THE MODERN CLEANERS Remodeled Redecorated Now open for business Dial 4590 ASHLAND U TO Hitler's Insincerity in Treaties Lines up With Mein Kampf Words (This dally feature, conducted by DeWltt MaeKensle. b be ing written Jn hi absence on vacation by Fred Vanderschmtdt). Required re-reading for this I week in Moscow, Rome, Tokyo and elsewhere Is Chapter XIV, Mein Kampf, by Adolf Hitler. One wonders, too, if Hitler Is not re-reading It himself In some humiliation. Contrary to some Impressions, Mein Kampf has not turned out to be a precise chartbook for Hitler, for Hitler has betrayed himself, by reason of necessity or convenience, in various re spects: for instance, in his ex pressed desire for an alliance with Britain as well as Italy. The Russians, however, can now weigh the utter Insincerity, from the beginning, of the trea ty which Hitler made with them when he had to detour from his course. For Mein Kampf not only dismisses as worthless any treaty with Russia ("we must not forget that the Internation al Jew, who today rules Russia absolutely, sees in Germany not an ally but a state marked for the same destiny . . . one does not conclude a treaty with some one whose sole Interest is the destruction of his partner.") The book also, by constant repetition, drives home this thought: "neither western nor eastern orientation should be the future goal of our foreign policy, but an eastern policy signifying the acquisition of the necessary soil for our German people." Well, Hitler, having failed to knock out England, has gone back to the book and gone after the "necessary soil," and the danger for his foes on the west lies in the chance that he will be able to carve that soil out of the heart of the Russian rich lands in six, or eight, or twelve weeks; encircle and destroy the Russian army and turn back again in the direction of England.

CROPS IMPROVED BY SULPHATE USE BY MAD SPELL, IS SCIENTISTS TOLD ALIBI OF DRIVER Cannery Beet Production In Peat Soil Doubled by Tin Application, Is Report Pasadena, Calif., June 24. (IP) Tin, zinc, copper and Io dine sulphates have definitely Improved crop production In some regions. Dr. W. L. Powers told the American Association for the Advancement of Science, which closed its regional meet ing here Saturday. Dr. Powers, head of the soils department at Oregon State col lege, reported that tin sulphate had doubled cannery beet pro duction In peat soil; zinc had in creased cane fruit yields 20 to 30 per cent on silt loam soil, and copper had given good results on three widely varying types of earth. Tin and copper never have been used commercially and Dr. Powers warned that much work remained to be done on the need and safe rates of applying these trace elements. Boron Great Help . Manganese has Improved yields of certain Willamette val ley crops and boron, commonly applied In the form of borax, is oeing used commercially, par ticularly in western Oregon where it has given spectacular results. "Boron appears to be as im portant for 50,000 acres of al falfa In western Oregon as sul phur has been on eastern Ore gon soils," Dr. Powers said. The application of 40 pounds per acre of boric acid in 1937 gave a total yield increase of six tons over a three-year period and eliminated yellowtop.
