NEW YORK, July S.-Fate marked Bill Jenks, obscure truck driver of a tiny Westchester county village, for fame. You'd never think that ragged, tousel-headed bill, tight ad- mittedly too often, had been linked with the worlds great. But, over a pint of near-beer he will tell you:
 Me, I once kicked Leon Trotzl<y outer this town; yes, sir, kicked him.
 His story is of the days when Trotzky, now recognized as one of history's greatest military organizers, was a New York East Side reporter. He went to Westchester to make radical speech at a labor meeting. Bill booted him forth.
 Those who conceive of soviet Rus sia as huge, dark, mysterious and far distant madhouse may not realize how many of the comrades" who have replaced the Cars empire came from America; that the alert, nerv- ous, worried young men who run the great Russian machine were. per haps five, perhaps ten years ago. ordinary hustling mortals, damned in New York's subways, rubbing shoulders with the loop crowds in ChiSd6Oi Oi IilultCIiHS ptaIulS dL Coney Island, laughing, living, low ing-but also plotting.
 The Russian revolution paralleled the story of the French revolution and the Garibaldi red shirt" activi- ties in that it's leaders conspired in foreign lands. America was the land where Jenine and Trotzky dreamt their communist world dream.
 O O O
 Another Striking DemOnstration.
 The fact is again strikingly demon strated by the appointment of Greg ory Weinstein as head of the Petro- grad division of the soviet foreign office. American newspaper men know him well as the former head of the Anglo-American department of the Moscow foreign office; in other words, the censor.
 Weinstein's newspaper career began in New York, as an editorial writer of the Novy Mir, New. York Russian newspaper. When he hurried through the shifting scenes of 1914 in New York, few conceived of the humble.

CROP INSURANCE IS NEED, SAY OFFICIALS Urged By Experts As Means Of Protecting AgricuI-
 turaI Interests

WASHINGTON, July S.-General crop insurance is feasible and UT gently needed for the protection of American agriculture, in the opinion of officials of the department of az riculture who have been making q study of the subject. In view of the progress made by insurance in other fields, these officials say, it is hard to believe that adequate crop in surance facilities will long remain undeveloped,
 The governments agricultural eX- rerts have been preparing data for the Senate committee appointed in the last session of Congress to in vestigate and report on the prac- ticability of extending the scope of crop insurance. Hearings were held by the committee in April and fur ther hearings will be held next De- cember.
 agricultural officers believe, should cover actual damage sustained, but not losses from failure to reap expected profits. What the farmer really needs is not an insurance contract which will guarantee him profits when nature fails him, they contend, but one guaranteeing pro- lection against crop damage 50 Sc were as to endanger his financial safety. Such protection, in theid opinion, could be given at a reasona- able cost.
 Definite conclusions have not been reached as to the form of organi- zation through which the desired insurance should be furnished.
 The scope of the undertaking and it's novel character, in the opinion of some officials, make it almost of necessity a government enterprise.
