PHOTOGRAPHIC APPARATUS
 FOR EXTREME ATTITUDES

Worcester, Mass. Jan. 1S.-The pos sibility of photcgraphing in space above the earth's atmosphere is sug- gested, in a statement made for The Associated Press today by Dr. Robert H. Goddard, associate professor of physics at Clark college, who is per fecting a rocket which it is expected will carry recording apparatus to ex- treme attitudes.
 pr. Goddard noes not prophecy, however, and. says too much attention has been given to the chance that his rocket with a flash powder attach ment may hit and nluminate the dark quarter of the moon. For the present the exploration of the atmosphere is the thing to be aimed at. In a signed statement Dr. Goddard says:
 since the announcement by the Smithsonian institution, a few days ago, I have been Interviewed a mum Der Of times, and on each occasion have been as uncommunicative as pos sible. The result has consequently been a number of published artic'as that were not all that could be desired and I feel that I owe it to myself. as well as to the institution, to make the situation clear
 Tn the first place, too much atten- tion has been concentrated on the proposed flash powder experiment and too little on the exploration of the atmosphere My reason for s2ying this is not because I believe the for mer is entirely unrealizable. In fact. if I were to speculate boldly instead of timidly. I would say that, based upon equally sound physical princi- pies, is the possibility of obtaining photographs, in space. by an appara- tus guided by photo sensitive cells (to guide it toward, or near, a lumi- nous body: a method already pro- posed for directing high altitude ap- paratus), precautions being taken to insure a sufficiently safe and conspicu- 7~s landin~ CT the return. To con tinue a speculation, however. an mat ters concerning which there is little experimental data would, of course. be unwise."

SOCIAL DEMOCRATIC LEAGUE
 APPEALS TO LABOR UNIONS

New York. Jan. 1S.-An appeal to the labor unions and the workers of America" to unite for political action. not as third party. but on the basis or the non partisan leagues in North Dakota and Minnesota, was issued here tonight by the Social Democratic league of America. The appeal is signed by Charles Edward Russell, president; Henry L. Slobodin. vice president; William English WaIling, secretary, and J. G. Phelps Stokes, treasurer.
 The statement declares that a third party is impracticable, as the Ameri- can political system could not sup press third parties more effectively if it had been specially created for that purpose" The alternative proposed, which is called The Workers Inde- pendent Political League Plan," is claimed to be in successful operation in Minnesota and to give '''every promise of actually capturing the whole machinery of that state for the cause of labor and democracy and electing a dozen congressman and a senator in the fall election.' As to what is to be accomplished by the new political action, the statement speci- Ges four main objectives:
 ''Abohtion of the excessive power of the courts over. legislation; control over credit to be taken from financiers and vested in a public agency, coupled with government administration of the railroads for two years; direct and truthful means of revealing excess cost and profits and so of prevention of boarding and unfair price fixing; and unrestricted right of collective bar gaining"
 The statement denounces impartial ly the republican and democratic par ties. It asserts that the democratic party, 'con1pleetly reversing it's ad- mirable war reccrd.'' has tried to de stroy organized labor by the manda- tory injunction and has taken the blame for the high cost of living off the shoulders of the profiteers and placed it on the back of labor" The republican party is declared to- be eopenly outbiGding even the Bourbon democrats for the support of reaction ary employers. trust magnates and wall street.

TRADE WITH RUSSIA
 POPULAR WITH RRITlsH

London, Jan. 18.-The unexnecfed decision of the allies to resume trade relations with Russia appears to he popular with all British business men. Plans for renewing the exchange of goods have not yet been formed. but there are lively expectations among the big banking and commercial housl eS engaged in business with Russia 'aeIore the war of coming boom.
 Transport, both within Russia and fo Russia. and finances are inc chief obstacles to deal with. Business men consider that barter on a larger scale presents the greater difficulties and would involve much delay and com pIlcated bargaining The bolshevil1 government is supposed to have a great sum of gold which formerk belonged to the Czarist regime. and has announced it's willingness to use gold for foreign trade. This would re- qulre cooperation between the bol- shevik government and the co-opera.- tive societies.
 The British department of overseas trade has drawn up plan for insur- ing trade with Russia which involva the sum of 25.000 900 pounds stering for the insurance of cargoes going and coming. George H. Robbers. the Brit ish food controller, said yesterday that there are a million tons. of wheat in Russia ready for export which are needed by the European countries suf-5 fering from a food shortage.

Is.sOIne Tax Forms
 Are Available Today

Washington. Jan. 18.-Through the collection of taxes on 1919 incomes. the hrst step in which will be taken to- morrow, the government ewill wage war on prefiteering landlords with sweet revenge" in prospect for "the tenant who has had to dig deep into his earnings ot pay a high rental in 1919."
 First intimation of this new aspect came tonight in announcement by Daniel c. Roper, commissioner of the bureau of internal revenue, that forms for making income tax returns, which will be in the hands of all internal revenue collectors and ready for dis tr1btN1on tomorrow, will contain a sec tlon providing that tenants shall in clude in their statements the amounts of rents' paid and to whom it was paid. This information will be turned over to the department of justice to be used in it's high cost of living cam paign.
 ''The. tenants are doing the driving and holding the whip" Mr Roper said. ''Profiteer landlords will be held to their straight and narrow path in the payment of their income taxes. Re venge is sweet to the tenant who has had to dig deep into his earnings to pay high rental in 1919. Gathering his family around him, he takes his scratchy pen in hand, and with the last drop of ink in the bottle informs the commissioner of internal revenue that he, Bill Brown, of the Bathroom apartments. paid to John Smith, 13 Profteer avenue. S1,200 fer his three room fiat in 1919.
 By gathering these reports from all of the Bill Browns who are running themselves ragged to pay their rents the internal revenue bureau will have all of the information needed to see that the profiteer John Smiths pay proper tax or face prosecution"
 While the work of collecting the in come taxes will be just as heavy this year as it was in 1919, the govern ment will receive less revenue. h. stead of collecting per cent. on in- comes between. $2 900 and $4.000 from married persons as was done last year only 4 per cent. will be collected this time. Single persons will get an ex- emption of $1,000 as provided under the previous revenue law. On incomes above $4,000 the normal tax will be $ per cent instead of F per cent. as last year. But the surtaX begins op- e1ations at s4,O00 and continues up ward until the government will assess 50 per cent of annueI incomes above S10oo, ,00O.
 Internal revenue off iaJs will send income tax forms to all p7rsons whc paid taxes last year. Others who arc taxable must apply to the collectors for them. MT Roper warned that there would be answering enforce ment the revenue laws and tha punishment will be meted out ant penalties applied without fear or ia vor.," this year. since all person: should be familiar with the law by this. time.

soVIETs TO PERMIT THE
 ENTRANCE OF DEPORTEEs

Hango. Finland, Jan. 1S.-(By The A. P)-The train having aboard the bclshevists and anarchists deported rom tbe United States was held here last evening until positive assurance was received from the Siviets that they would permit them to cross the Russian border and that the Reds would not be molested. Grave rurnors had come from the border that Barl1- T7an and Goldman and their comrades would he killed by the Russians. and while there was apparently no author itv to confirm this threat, it was deem ed advisable to take all precautions.
 The "Indesirables'' disernbarked yesterday afternoon from the Bl1ford and were placed in box cars fitted I'D with plank benches, tables and beds. Each car contained six boxes of army rations. The supplies include bully beef, sugar and hard bread.
 The train was required to wait dreary hours while the Finnish au thorities negotiated with the Russians for an unofficial Suspension of hostiI- ities-not the official armistice origin ally planned-long enoukh for the Reds to pass over the bridge which makes the boundary between Finland and Russia and to assure their safety.
 The Associated Press correspondent. who arrived in the morning, was not permitted at first to board the SDe-
 cial, but after appealing to the au-
 thor-ties the colonel in command re-
 ceiVed him briefly and he was taken aboard the Red train. It was origin ally planned to send labor officials as i far as the border, but this was found unnecessary because thet tTinnish gov ernment, through the American vice i consul, volunteered to take over the undesirables as a favor to the United States.
 I Emma Goldman conversed with the correspondent for 9 few minutes be- fore she trudeed down the long path ! baggage Asked if she had a final greeting to America she said: T don't know whether I have. Would you be willing 10 tell your feelings on i departing? Naturally my emotions are 1 conflicting. I am anxious what is 9head in Russia: but naturally I am i leaving very much behind in Ameri- ca"
 She suddenly amazed the corres- pondent by. throwing her arms around his neck and giving him a resoun6ing kiss before he could struggle away. i Then she picked up her belongings and moved wearily in the direction Of the train.
 Details of trouble with the Reds while crossing have been disclosed I since the vessel arrived at Hango. hut
 ti7e trouble was not of serious import. One grumbler put in a bill for S48 for alleged night work, denanding pay
 nent before leaving the ship.
 Storms delayed the Buford's depar- ture this morning.
