KAREN, Manchuria. June IT, Deprived of their home plots by the soviet's collective farm move mcnt, hundreds of the well-to-do type of Russian peasants, better known as ''kulaks," are drifting into northern Manchuria.
 They must escape Red Army guards on the Siberian side of the border but report that the major ity who try, are successful.
 The Chinese are delighted at. the prospect of having vacant lands in northern Manchuria fall into such capable hands and are en- couraging this class of immigration. Large tracts are being set aside for the Russians and some are being furnished with farm implements at low loan rates.
 The kulaks lost their lands when they refused to turn them over to the collective farms fostered by the Moscow government. They con- sequently were driven from their homes and sent to sections of Si- beria, the policy being to get them

WASHINGTON, D. C., June IT, After supporting it, agricultural leaders are beginning to wonder whether the Purnell-Townsend bill to patent plants will not cause the benefits of stimulated research to be dissipated in additional seed costs to the farmer. Sent to the President by unani- nous vote of both Houses of Con gress, the bill seeks only to patent the individual plant. However a question rises whether any organi- zation acquiring patent rights to a newly originated plant might be in Ia position to sell it's seeds or other reproductive units at price pro- hibitive to the great majority of farmers.
 Farm crops today are the result of constant Improvements and de- velopments, which for lack of plant patents have come into the hands of the farmer at slight increase in seed costs.
 It is the theory of the bill that the surface has only been scratched in plant experimentation, and that remunerative protection for plant breeders is necessary to the stimu- lation of much important work yet to be done.
 By it's terms the creator of a new plant would be given IT years exclusive right to it, the same as the originator of any industrial mechanism is given protection for his invention.
 The bill has the endorsement of the Commissioner of Patents, the Secretary of Agriculture, all the national farm organizations, the Secretary of the American Society for the Advancement of Science, and many others.
 Thomas A. Edison said of the bill:
 Nothing Congress could do to help farming would be of greater value and permanence than to give to the plant breeder the same

 Virtually all of them who have entered Manchuria, have declared themselves fed up with. Soviet methods. To prove their good faith as settlers, many are taking out Chinese citizenship papers.
 Being hard workers and capable of supporting themselves by farm ing they constitute an entirely dif- ferent class from the white Rus sians" who poured into Manchuria after the Russian revolution.
 Meanwhile the remnants of these white Russians" are finding con- ditions hearabouts unsatisfactory. following Moscow's triumph in re- gaining control of the Chinese East- ern Railway. They are heading south towards Shanghai.
 One report from that city said that so many of them arrived there destitute, that a special employ ment bureau was opened for their benefit in the French section of the international settlement.

HUGE ALL-METAL
 4IRSHIP PLANNED F0R 4iR(lMY CORPS


 WASHINGTON, June MA big brother of the worlds first metal clad airship, the Navy's flying to- mato can,i is proposed for the Army Air Corps.
 Authorization to construct the giant, a ship with a speed of 100 miles an hour and gross lift of 100 tons, is sought in Congressional bills introduced by Senator Arthur H. Vandenberg, Michigan, and Repre- sentative Florence Kahn, Califor- mia.
 The all-metal dirigible would be IT times as large as the experi- mental navy ship zMC-2, first flown last August, would outspeed any existing airship and be larger than the Graf Zeppelin.
 Its cost would be limited by the bills to $4,500000. While planned primarily as transport ship, the measures would provide for the Secretary of War to lease it to private parties for commercial dem- onstrations.
 Appearing before the House Mill tary Affairs Committee, Carl Frit- sche, President of the Aircraft De- velopment Corporation compan which built the Navy metalclad, said the proposed ship could fly nonstop from Washington to Pana- ma in 40 hours with military load of 40,00o pounds
