MOSCOW December 3l.-Charged
with improper organization of wheat
farms in their area, % Communist
leaders IN the South Vo.ga region were
ordered to trial today for betrayal of
the workers class"
The secretary of the regional party
committee and the director of the trac-

all of whom are accused Of permitting
heavy crop losses and Of tolerating the
presence of anti-Soviet influences In
the rural regions under their jurisdic-
ton.
Probably all the defendants will be
expelled from the party, for the trial
apparently is direct result of the re-
cent order for nationwide cleansing
of the party ranks.
Specifically 1t is charged that they
failed to organize the Spring and Win
ter sowing properly and to supervise the
harvest, as result of which only $50
hectares of the $4,000 sown were
threshed. Most of the wheat in the re-
naming acreage Is still standing in the

1 dreams of science for 1888.
The first is because 1t prom
ises a golden though delayed future

tory; the second because it can be OF
immediate relief.
Only a small group Of physicists
know of the rapid developments in 1882
in atom smashing and what these
events portend. The most surprising OF
these was an experiment which upset
the time e-honored belief that you never
can obtain more energy from reac-
ton than you put into 1t.
But two British scientists, DR.. j. D.
Cockkroft and DR.. e. T. S. Walton,
recently shot q 900 ,000-volt atomic par
ticle at an atom, which thereupon split
into two rays, having a total of 15,00o,-

But in this case, for the first time,
the method of unlocking" was theo-
retically as simple as touching match

that comes from burning.
The stored up energy of $4,000, 900
volts was bound in this atom by the job
of holding together its nucleus. The
nucleus comprised seven units. The
single 600. .000-volt particle struck this
nucleus and entered therein, resulting
in a family of eight units instead Of
seven.

A more practical application of this
new knowledge will be sponsored by
physical chemistry, which proposes to
reverse the usual procedure of synthesis.
Heretofore chemists have started with
materials in bulk, guessing what the
atoms looked like and how they would
act. The physical chemists, now know
ing the appearance and much Of the
action of atoms, propose to start their
chemistry at the heart of matter.

to the depression problems.
In the closing month of 1882 leading
American scientific engineers gathered

say that the need is for more machines,
rather than less, but that during the
