NEW YORK, October Clamp
Terra, experimental camp for unem-
ployed women, established in June at the
suggestion of Mrs. Franklin D. Roose-
welt and Secretary Of Labor Perkins,
will continue its activities during the
Winter.
The Winter program, however. will
differ largely from that followed during
the Summer, relief officials said today.
A steam-heated dormitory will re-
place log cabins and tents. It Will house
100 women, with a turnover every four
weeks.
The camp, beside a lake near Bear
Mountain, along the Hudson River, &C.
commodated 200 New York City women
during the Summer months.
It is expected. however, that by NO
vember ! there will be an entirely new
personnel. both .of campers and voca-
tional recreational directors, who them
selves have been taken from the ranks
of the unemployed.
Until now the expense for each girl
has averaged IS a week. but Is expected
10 De , a week lOi Tie WulleT.
The camper, If SHE wishes. may work
six hours a week for a small cash sum,
so that she may return to New York
City with some savings at the end of
her stay. This work will consist OF
knitting sweaters for men in the Civil
ian Conservation Corps camps. sewing
or other assigned work.
This work will be aside from her
duties of cleaning up her own room
and other light chores which serve as
return for her maintenance.
Other emphasis during the Winter
will be on health. recreation and edu-
cation. There will be instruction in
knitting, sewing, tipping and filing,
English. current events, crafts, music
and amate dramatics, folk and social
dancing. rhythmics and indoor games.
An outdoor campfire will be held once
a week.
Improvements are being made at a
cost Of $4,000, and unemployed men are
doing the work.

CLEVELAND, october 21.-Kenneth
Donaldson's pencil today pictured no
less than 100000 American workmen
back on industrial pay rolls within q
very few months incident to Washing
tons projected recognition of the Union
of Socialist Soviet Republics.
That pencil, welded by a professor at
the Case School Of Applied Sciences,
Cleveland. at the express request Of the
State Department, sketched an i'm
pressive outline Of the business the U.
S. S. r. probably would do with the
United States, once the two nations
have effected a rapprochement.
1t wrote, for instance, the figure
$3.50, 900, 900 annually as the sum cover
ing American exports to Russia.
1t singled out and set down figures
running into many millions for lone
items such as locomotives which the
United States can hope to sell to the
nation which has been without recog-
milton from so many world powers since
the 1917 revolution.
1t argued that, granted America must
accept Russian raw materials In part
payment for finished products sold
there, no Russian dumping need fig
ure In the picture on either American
or European markets as the Soviets
pour billion dollars into world trade
channels.
Donaldson is no mere theorist. For
nearly a year he was consulting en-
gneer for an American firm operating
in the Urals. He collected a mass of
material. He visited Russia's principal
cities. Lately Harry F. Payer, Assistant
Secretary OF State, asked Donaldson for
an estimate of the trade for which the
United States could hope from Russia
in the event Of recognition and active
resumption Of trade relations.
Varied Needs Cited.
The professor-engineer made his re-
port to Washington. Today he elab-
GRATED on that report to newsmen.

POLICE CURB RIOT THREAT
AT GIRLS REFORMATORY
Pounding on Doors Forces Matrons
to Call for Aid When Four
New Inmates Rebel.

An incipieut riot among colored In
mates Of the National Training School
for Girls, on the Reservoir road, was
quelled last night when officials OF the
institution put in riot call for police
and had four of the inmates put into
cells.
The girls of the main building had
just been put in their rooms when five
or six who had been in the place for
only a short time started beating on
their doors. The noise of the more
violent prisoners aroused others in the
buildings, and soon the whole place
was an uproar of shouting girls.
Rather than run the risk Of en-
countering desperate young women,
matrons of the institution called for
eighth precinct policemen, who took
four of the noisiest to cells used at the
institution for punishment purposes.
The cat-calling and shouting continued
for about two hours afterward.

LAND SHARKS BEGIN
BONNEVILLE BOOM
Ickes Warns Against Specu.
Iating in Property Near
Projects.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
A new threat OF land speculation in
the vicinity Of large projects to be
financed with Federal funds last night
brought a sharp attack on land
sharks from Secretary Ickes Of the
Interior Department.
The vicinity of the site for the Bon
neville power dam in Oregon was dis
closed as the latest scene Of speculative
activity
The Public Works Administration re-
Gently allotted $22,250,000 with which
the dam will be started.
Just before this allotment was made
Ickes called halt on several alloca-
tions for private housing corporations
where it had been found that land
spectators In anticipation Of develop
ment had obtained options on property
in the vicinity. He then warned the
funds in any territory where land spec
ulation was discovered.
The Secretary said last night he had
been asked by Senators and Represent
atives to issue proclamation that no
electricity would be furnished from the
Bonneville Dam to lands sold at
prof1teering prices. His legal depart
ment had informed him, however. that
such q proclamation would be beyond
his authority and would have no bene-
fetal effect.
IT would do anything in my power
to spike the guns of these predatory
land brigands," he said. Il sincerely
regret that 1t Is not possible for me
summarily to halt the program of these
land sharks"
Recalling a similar boom in the vi
cinity of Muscle Shoals, Ickes said:
Muscle Shoals should furnish a les
son to the unwary. Thousands were
induced to purchase land there on the
representation that it would vastly in
crease in value. It has not and will
not, and neither will the land IN the
vicinity Of the Bonneville project"

3OO,O MORE AMERICAN JOBS
SEEN IN SOVIET RECOGNITION

a relatively small amount Of q large
number Of articles"
Russian goods to be received as part
payment he itemizes as:
Two million tons Of high grade iron
ore, 100000 tons of manganese ore,
$4,000 ounces Of platinum, 1000 900
tons Of pulpwood, 3,500.00O tons Of
lumber and timber, $4,000 worth Of
oil for use on ships carrying the traded
materials, and $3,O00,O0O worth Of
dishes. linen and other miscellaneous
articles.
As for competition Of so-called cheap
Russian goods with American products,
the Case savant cited that the iron ore
could be used on the Atlantic Coast,
would not compete with American ore,
and would be only half the tonnage Of
iron and steel sold to Russia. The man.
ganese. which this country already i'm
ports, would be, he said, only two years
Of normal imports
He predicted a definite STRENGTHENING
Of prices abroad for American goods II
trade with Russia is resumed His plan
contemplates the addition OF $50,000,-
900 to the $3.50, ,0O0. 900 fixed, covering
the cost Of freighting to Soviet ports
and the return freighting to American
ports.
Cre0lt ran Outl1ne0.
An American corporation would be set
up to which Russia would make partial
payment of $4,000, 900 in goods and
money while supplies were being deliv-
cred. the balance to be paid in the same
manner as rapidly as possible. Manu-
facturers would take Russia's paper. or
that of the corporation. for 20 per cent
Of the orders, and the remainder of
their revenue would come from gradual
sale of the raw material delivered to
and held by the corporation.
Donaldson estimated at $55,000, 900
the revenue of the Government and
American railroads in duties and rail
tariffs, and added that income taxes
would-or should-show q sharp up
turn.
Donaldson also revealed plan for
conserving American forests by i'm
porting lumber from Russia Under
his plan the United States Government
would buy from private lumber con-
Germs in this country 1000 feet of
standing timber for every 1000 feet of
lumber imported from Russia. The
duty collected by the Government for
the imported lumber. he estimated.
would pay for the American timber
purchased.
The thousands Of lumber workers
who would lose their jobs with the pri-
vate concerns, Donaldson said. could
be hired by the Government to carry
through a comprehensive conservation
program.

BYERS CONVICTED
|NFRAUD CHARGES
K1eger Also Found Guilty in
Conspiracy to Defraud U. S.
In Army Goods Sale.

NEW YORK, October 21-Robert j.
Byers, welfare officer and department
adjutant of the American Legion in
Michigan, and George S. Krieger, New
York merchant. were convicted today
by q Federal court jury on a charge OF
conspiring to defraud the Government
through a plan of reselling surplus
Army goods.
Judge John knight of Buffalo, pre-
siding, sentenced each defendant to
year and a day in the Northeastern
Federal Penitentiary at Lewisburg, Pa,
and to pay a fine of $4,000 each.
Leniency Recommended.
The jury, which had been out about
i've hours. recommended leniency.
The men were accused of obtaining
surplus Army goods at less than cost
for free distribution among the poor,
and reselling part Of them at profit
Jurors Thanked by Judge.
Judge knight, saying he seldom had
heard more convincing evidence, dis
charged the jury with the thanks OF the
court.
Joseph r. Jackson, counsel for
Kriegen, and Earl J. Davis, former
Michigan district. of Byers' counsel,
pleaded for light sentences, calling at
tention to the past good record OF their
clients.
Assistant United States Attorney Will
liam w. Prayer said that, whatever. the
past careers of the two men had been.
the charge against them was one not
to be looked on lightly by any court.
Judge Knight directed the defendants
to stand, and addressing them, said:
"You have been convicted OF the
charge In the indictment. The evidence
is ample to sustain the conviction. The
verdict of the jury is justified and the
offense serious. I am disposed to take
into consideration the recommendation
for leaiency that the jury has offered
the court.
Year and 50 1000 Fines.
I'm my mind, the maximum pre-
scribed for conspiracy. two years i'm
prisonment and $4,000 fine, is too
light in many cases, but the jury has
recommended leniency and the SEN
tence Of the court is that each Of you
shall be imprisoned for one year and
one day and shall pay fine OF $1,000"
The defense attorneys at once served
notice of appeal, and the court granted
motions for the mems release on bail
pending appeal As 1t was too late to
obtain new bondsmen, the court re-
leased them in the custody Of their
counsel until Monday, when bonds are
to be filed.
During the trial, which started Octo-
Der 10, it was testified that Byers went
to washington and obtained Army
goods at low prices. He told Congress
men and other officials, the Indictment
charged, that all the goods would be
distributed to the poor by the Legion
or welfare agencies which would take
them off the Legion's hands at the
prices charged by the Army. plus 10
per cent for freight and handling.
Merchandise that cost Byers $23,600
was distributed by welfare agencies,
which paid the cost plus 10 per cent,
and eventually the State of Michigan
received $4,000 worth Government
sales values) for distribution. The re-
mainder. representing a cost OF S7,400
in Government values. allegedly was
sold at much higher figures, in some
cases, Prayer said, from 100 to $50 per
cent higher.
