CROP LARGE
Morale OF Leaders Back
AT High Point AS Report

United Press Staff Correspondent

MOSCOW, Sept. 4.-(UP).-
A grain crop that perhaps will
surpass the record harvest of
1880 already in sight, sentiment
in official and Communist party
circles here today rose to new
heights of optimism.
The spirits Of the minority
which rules this vast land had
been seriously strained in the
past year. Underlying all their
troubles was the shortage of food
caused by drought and by pea
SAINT refusals to work.
Now the strain has suddenly
been eased. The tagging party
morale has stiffened. Josef Sta
Inns bitter medicine - ruthless
force-was aided and abetted by
nature. Not only did reluctant,
half starved peasants sow plenti-
fully, but the earth responded
with an exceptionally rich crop.
In official quarters there IS
talk of abolishing the rationing
of bread-a moment longed for
since the ration system was i'm
posed more than five years ago.
There is feeling that one of
the worst stretches of the Soviet
regimes difficult path has been
crossed.
Although Soviet masses do not
kindle easily to official enthus-
Jams, having been let down too
often in the past, this new Opti-
mism is undoubtedly reaching
them.
The writer has just returned
to Soviet Russia after an alb
sence of six weeks and the
psychological change in that brief
interval was sharply perceived.
Even in North Caucasian and
Ukrainian villages where starva-
ton took many lives, and unspar-
ing official pressure added to
the horrors of the food short
ages, the survivors face the fu-
ture with renewed hope.
One of the curious effects of
the good harvest is d sudden

Reports from the eastern section of the
State are to the effffecfft that many farm
laborers believe the federal governme ut
has made it unlawful for them to work
more than eight hours a day, for around
two or three dollars pay; and this is giving
the farmers serious trouble in harvesting
their crops. Prices of tobacco are so low
that marketing holiday has been declared
in the Carolinas, and cotton at nine or ten
cents does not warrant wages for farm la
Dor that are five or six times the wages
paid under normal conditions. Even the
Wallace Agricultural Department up in
Washington does not seem to be able to
solve all the problems of the farmers lust
like that.

GRIM REMINDER OF
MASSACRE is FOUND

KALAMATH FALLS, Ore,
Sept. A grim reminder Of
the bloody massacre Of more than
40 women and children of an
emigrant train by a war party OF
Piute Indians near here in the
sos was found recently.
An old rifle barrel of the cap
and ball type was picked up off
the shores of Massacre Lake
(sccne of the battle) by tourists.
The lock was smashed and the
barrel bent. The pioneers usually
bent the barrels and broke the
locks on their weapons to prevent
Indians from using them.

About a year ago the krem,

taxes for schools, but not so with the little
