Matthew VOL, vice president of the

lengthy memorandum on the question

Association In two pamphlets, entitled

partisan in adopting the Soviet view
on this question, but by wholly repress-

other sections out of their context

it as being the very reverse OF what 1t

Why They
Leave
Men Lured by Women,
Women by Love, and
Boys by Adventure.

BY the Associated Press.
SAN FRANCISCO. April $50 much
has been said about why people leave
home that the police decided to find out
for themselves. Reporting on the sub
ject yesterday, the department said it
had discovered the reasons TO be as fol-
lows:
Men leave home to forget family
troubles or to dodge domestic response
bilities. They often go to, with or from
q woman.
Women leave home when they find a
new love.
Boys leave to seek adventure and zo-
nance.
Girls leave to escape routine or dis
cipline.
Police records on which the deduc-
tons are based disclosed that 239 men,
women and children who left San Fran
cisco in 1928 are still missing. Alto
gether LIT persons disappeared here.

HOOVER RUSSIAN
STAND AWAITED
Embassy Here Continues t.
Fall Into Decay as Recog-
milton Is Denied.
BY C. p. WILLIAMSON.
Associated Press STAFF Writer.

Diplomatic circles in Washington,
whose members frequently pass the long
unoccupied mansion in Sixteenth street,
which once housed the Russian Ambas-
sailors to the United States, are quietly
Specializing on whether the Hoover ad-
n1inistration is likely to change the pol
icy of former President Coolidge with
respect to recognition OF the Soviet
regime.
The consensus is that for the present
there Is little likelihood that the United
States will look with favor upon any
oyertureS from the Soviet for recognl-
ton. and that the once well tended en-
bassy will continue to fall slowly into
decay.
Former Secretary Kellogg, in an
article in the bulletin of the Republican
national committee last November, re-
iterated the position of the American
Government that relations could not De
entered into with the Soviet government
so long as the Russians persisted IN
their world revolutionary movement.
Economic Angle Cited.
That was the last important pro-
nouncement by Government omclal on
the question. Official circles take the
view that since the Soviet Is apparently
adhering to the principle Objected 10 no
negotiations can be entered INTO WIN
that government at the present. time.
Those who are inclined to believe that
the Hoover administration might adopt
a more liberal policy toward the Soviet
than that of the Coolidge adminlstra-
tion remark that President Hoover
might look upon the question as more OF
an economic than political one. Tnese
circles declare it Is possible that the
present administration might be IN
clined to overlook the political prlncl-
pies involved in order to bring about an
expansion of American trade in the
Russian market.
on the other hand, it is contended by
opponents of recognition that such a
step, aside from being In the nature OF
a political adventure, would involve
many complicated economic q0estlonS
which would make the matter oouptiul
from a strictly business viewpoint.
Opposition to any change in the
policy of non-recognition has been re-
iterated by Matthew Vol, vice presl-
dent of the American Federation OF
Labor, in a letter to Secretary StimSon
made public today.
Is Only Unoccupied Embassy.
Meanwhile, the iron gates on the
fence surrounding the garden in front
of the Russian Embassy Building swing
idly on rusty hinges. The entire build
ing, which still houses many OF the
secret archives of the Russian govern
ment, is barred and shattered, but
strong wind has dislodged two Of the
shutters and they swing back and forth
with the breeze.
A caretaker protects the building from
intruders. The lack Of other life
around the grounds, however, has at
tracted many pigeons and sparrows and
their nests around the roof only empha-
size the atmosphere of emptiness which
dominates Washingtons only unoccu-
pied embassy.
