BESSEDOVSKI A THIEF.

MOSCOW, Jan. 9.-Bessedovski,
the ex-secretary of the Soviet en-
bassy in Paris is being tried here
in willful contempt of court. The
evidence showed Bessedovski con-
verified $4,000 of embassy money to
his personal use, that he lived be-
yond his means and betrayed trust
when his defalcations were discov-
cred.
Rosemann, the Soviet attache who
in Paris had demanded Bessedovski
give an accounting, denied that
Bessedovski was subjected to physi-
cal threats. Bessedovski's own
brother appeared in court and tes-
titled that Bessedovski's statement
was false that his relatives in the
Soviet Union were being prosecuted.
The court sentenced Bessedovski
to ten years Imprisonment. The
second trial, for high treason, will
follow.

but announce at the same time that
they are introducing speed-up ma

duce greater tonnage For the
workers, less food! More work.
When the bosses, under Hoover's
leadership, invited Green, Woll,
Morrison and Lewis into their pri-
vate chambers they knew that the
present crisis would entail mass,
drastic wage cuts for the workers.
In this dirty work they wanted the
help Of their most reliable support

This is the fruit of the collabora-

machine headed by Barnes, Lamont,
Rosenwald and Dupont.
The wage cut in Youngstown,
soon to be followed in every steel
plant in the United States by others
possibly more drastic, is a classical
example of what The Daily Worker
has been pointing out is the plan
of the bosses in the present crisis.

Hoover Indicates Income

For Next Year.

President Appears Opti-

BY LYLE C. WILSON

WASHINGTON, Aug. %. OPP
President Hoover apparently is de-
tcrmined to continue tax reductions
established last year if it can be
done without borrowing money to
balance the national budget.
Whether his objective can be
gained seems to he a question upon
which the Treasury itself changed
its mind within 2I hours.
4 day of hurried conferences and
formal statements now leaves the
subject exposed in its most favora-
bic light, with Mr. Hoover and Sec
letorv of Treasury Mellon optimistic
for continuance of the | per cent re-
duction effective last year on cor
Poratc and normal individual income
taxes.
With Is more primary elections
and three state conventions still
pending preliminary to the Novem-
ber congressional elections, the sit
,lation created considerable stir
in Washington.
Conferences at the Treasury led
70 a discussion between Mr.. Hoover

turned to his office to issue state

after asserting it is altogether too
early to say definitely that the re
4 duction can be maintained The
statement protested the reports in
morning newspapers regarding reve-
Eue prospects and the possible
abandonment of the reduction
Within two hours, Mr.. Hoover had
added more emphatic statement to
the tax situation.

there is no ground now for the pre-
dictions in the press this morning
that a deficit was impending which
would prevent the continuation OF
