To Determine Class

Moscow, April 1 (UPl-The cen- tral authorities of Russia have at least laid down some general princi- pies which will determine. in effect, who is a "kulak" and who is not. Broadly, a kulak is q well-to do land holder, and as such class enemy of the Soviets.
 Millions of peasants on the rough zig-zagging borderline between Ku- lakdom and the so-called middle" peasantry therefore live under the constant threat of cXtermination. They are always in danger of being catapulted suddenly to the wrong side of the line, where ruin, starva- tion and exile await them.
 Following Joseph Stalin's orders 10 halt the use of force against those unwilling to join the collectives, the press has begun to reveal atrocities in connection with the movement which heretofore were hidden. From all parts of the country it reports numerous instances where not only middle" but even poor peasants
 
 longings appropriated and their fam lilies sent out of the villages.
 New Law Helps Some
 The new law on agricultural taxa ton just published attempts to define the kulak, with the proviso that the governments of the various republics must adjust the definition in accord ance with local conditions.
 The total number of Kulak house holds. it is indicated, must not exceed per cent for the entire Soviet union. Since there are about 25,000,- 900 households, an accurate applica- ton of this provision would limit the kulaks to 750,000 households or about 4000,000 persons.
 Peasants must be considered ku- laks, the law specifics, under the fol lowing conditions:

S50,OO0 Taken by Cool Trio Who Bind Victims With Adhesive Tape ! Count Arrives to Say Farewells Just in Time to Be Robbed.

Chicago, April 1 (up)-The dar- ing s5o,Oo0 jewel robbery of their Sheridan road mansion by bandits who posed as census takers and bound Count Enrique von Buelow, his estranged wife, Mrs. Lottie Bren- ner von Buelcw and four other members of the household with ad- hesive tape furnished the couple a melodramatic topic for their sched- uled farewell today.
 Count von Buelow had gone to the home he left when discord arose over what his wife termed "his harem" to say goodbye before leav- ing for New York late yesterday. He arrived just in time to become one of the victims of the holdup.
 Filed Divorce Case
 Mrs. von Buelow, who obtained a settlement of s750,000 from her first husband, Alderman Nathan T. Bren- ner, shortly before his death, filed suit for divorce from von Buelow, ago.
 But she had bought him a new automobile in which to make the journey to New York, "so he would be in a happy frame of mind at parting," as she explained, and the couple went together to detective headquarters last night to look over photographs of criminals in an at , tempt to identify the trio of gun men who executed the holdup with the coolness and efficiency of vet crans
 Friends predicted Won Buelow might not leave until the robbery was cleared up.
 Mrs. von Buelow was in the sec ond floor sitting room of her lux urlous home when two of the bandits appeared at the door. With her was her sister, Mrs. Mary Gross. Chris topher Gross, the latters husband, answered the door and was told the callers had come to take the census"

 By the time the group reached the second floor, the third bandit had joined it and all three had donned handkerchief masks and whipped out revolvers.
 While two cowed the two women and Gross, the third robbcr round ed up the chauffeur and the negro ' maid and then the intruders bound their five victims to chairs and blindboded them with adhesive tape.
 ! A photograph of Won Buelow on a dresser caught one bandits at tention.
 Heres the husband. We ought to bump him off, he said.
 Don't you do anything of the llind,' Mrs. von Bueow warned. Go ahead and take anything you want but don't bring my husband into it'
 At that moment the doorbell rang and Non Buelow was ushered in by a masked stranger who blindfoldcd

 The difficulty of deciding exactly who is a Kulak has led to brutal in justice in hundreds if not thousands of villages in the last four months. In their anxiety to make a good showing, local leaders of the collect i've movement frequently classified as Kulalls everybody who refused to join. The government is now engaged in the difficult task of undoing this injustice and reinstating poor peas ants in their confiscated homes.
 But the Soviet regime is definitely committed to the job of "liquidating the Kulaks as a class"

ASK OLD CRIMINAL
 LAWS BE REPEALED
Jones Law and Mann Act Due
 for Revision Is Report

Washington, March f {UP)-Agi- tation for the repeal of some old criminal laws and against the enact ment of new ones is beginning to gain momentum in the house.
 Debate on several relatively un- important measures which have en- gagged the attention of the house while it waits for the senate to take action on the tariff bill has reveal ed the existence of an "anti-more laws bloc" unorganized, but drawn together by opposition to all bills proposing to add to the criminal code.
 Members of the bloc took occa- sion to air their views when the prison construction program recom- mended by President Hoover was under consideration. They did not oppose the bill, which provided for construction of three new penal in- stitutions, but pointed out that laws enacted in the last few years have added rapidly to the federal peni- tentiary population.
 They were more insistent in their objections to the La Guardia bill, called up from the house calendar, to outlaw interstate transportation of firearms except by law enforce ment officials, contending it was not absolutely essential to maintenance of law and order and would further congest federal penal institutions.
 Representative Dyer, republican, Mo-, has come forward with a bill to repeal the Dyer act, which makes it federal ofGense to transport stolen automobiles from one state to another. Dyer contends the pur.

 Tunnel No. 3, driven on the Bullion vein, is said to have opened up considerable ore and the raise to the Bullion tun- nel was also in ore. The Bull- ion tunnel itself was advanced 1855 feet and although no en- richment was expected here, ore was encountered within the first fifteen feet and continued all the way. The indications are that the Bullion tunnel should intersect the No. ore body on the southwest vein at depth.
