Communities which think only OF

field of rural social organization at the

point out in calling attention TO an ar

 ing Politics

WASHINGTON, April 10.--The Am ericsn government has made nani- fest it's deep resentment and abhor- renee al the political methods of Lenine and Trotzky.
 As an avowed protest against the execution of the Prelate Butchka- witch, put to death because he op- Tosed the revolutionary doctrines ot the soviet, the state department has withdrawn the authorization under which Ekaterina IeaIinin, wife of the Russian president, had planned to visit the United tSates.
 In announcing their action today department officials left no doubt of their aversion to any further thought of admitting to American hospitality an emissary even indirectly con nected with the soviet regime. They took the position that even the os- tensibly humanitarian purpose of her visit would not counteract the feel ing of repugnance against her be- cause of the execution of the vicar general.
