STAIN STARTS
NEW HUMANE
P D L|CY
Machine Technique Dropped;
Attention Focused on the
Need for Trained Men

MOSCOW, May 6 GN.S0.-In
one of the most important
speeches in several years, josef
Stain today announced what Is
held by Soviet authorities to con-
stitute a virtually new philosophy
of the Soviet Union.
It demands, they said, removal
of emphasis upon machinery and
greater attention and humanity
toward the masses OF workers.
The old slogan of the Soviet
Union, technique is everything"
technique meaning technical
equipment in Russian phrase
ology-is now outworn, Stain
said. Replacing it, he declared,
must be a new creed-"cadres
are everything"
BY "cadres" the Soviet Union
understands trained personnel in
both high and low ranks, in other
words, the men behind the ma
chimes.
The Russian dictator announced
the new policy in addressing
graduates Of schools and staff
colleges of the red army, during
which Soviet leaders praised the
army's achievements.
Outlining the problems Of the
U. S. S. R. since the revolution,
Stain attempted to justify the in
disqualification program even at
the expense of the populations
comfort, declaring it was neces,
Sary unless Russia was to become
the plaything of international
Imperialism. He said:
ct is true that we had to
trample certain comrades under
foot, but this was unavoidable
and confess 1 myself lent a
hand. Now we have passed
from a period of famine in the
domain of technical equipment
and entered a period of famine
in the domain of unframed men.
"If we had Sufficiency of
these, the country would receive
a three or four times greater re-
turn on it's equivalent than it
now receives. Leaders of our
enterprises must give careful at
tentiOn to workers, great and
small, help them and push them
forward"
Citing cases of "heartless bu-
reaucratic pushing of workers
about like pawns," Stain stressed
the danger of such tactics, and
said:
ut is necessary to understand
the most valuable form of capt.
tai is trained men. If we have
enough trained men in factories,
farms and in the army, we are
uncOnquerable. If not, we are
lame in both legs"

HEARINGS SET.
On RENT BOARD

AS the proposed joint sessions
of the House and Senate District
Committees on the rent Question
today appeared to have been side
tracked, it was announced that
the former committee would take
up the Dirksen bill Wednesday.
The bill would freeze" rents as
. of January /, 1884. 1t was said
the committee would also take
up the Ellenbogen bill to create
q rent commission.
Representative Mary T. Norton,
chairman of the House commit
tee, is away and probably will not
= be here for the Wednesday SeS-
sion, it was said. Her absence.
however, is not expected to pre-
: vent consideration of the rent
; measure. The Dirksen bill pro
vides that rents would be fixed
at the same rate they were Janu-
airy i, 1884, except that they
: could be reduced.
Representative Everett M. Dirk
sen (R.) of Illinois, author OF the
bill, received numerous letters
charging that rents are going
higher and he is anxious that
prompt action be taken.
The Ellenbogen measure spon-
sored by Representative Henry T.
Ellenbogen (DD of Pennsylvania
would create a rent commission
similar to the one which existed
in the World War period.

Electric Rates
Based on Cows
on the Farm

BOSTON. May 6 q. N. 81.
A unique electric rate schedule
based upon the number Of COWS
on a farm was revealed in a
Federal Power Commission re-
port. The company was not
named.
If a farmer had IL cows or
less. he paid 10 cents kiloWatt
hours for the first 80 kilowatts,
seven cents for the next, 40.4
cents for the next TO, and 2
cents for all over 140. The rates
graduated upwards, depending
on the number of cows, until,
for over 40 cows, the rate was
10 cents for the first so kilo-
watts. 7 cents for the next 30
kilowatts. cents for the next
100 and 2 cents for all over 260.

CUTTING FAMED
AS ORATOR

Senator Bronson S. Cutting (RO
of New Mexico, killed in an air
plane crash in Missouri today, was
one of the youngest and most
colorful members of the Senate.
Although identified with the Re-
publican party throughout his po-
litical career, Senator Cutting was
independent to a remarkable de-
gree. He bolted the candidacy OF
Herbert Hoover in 1882 and spoke
for and supported Franklin D.
Roosevelt.
In the Senate, he voted oftener
with the Democratic AdminIStre-
ton than against it, although he
did not hesitate to oppose the
President on matters of policy.
Acquired Papers
Senator Cutting was At years
old. He was born at the family
home on Long Island on June %,
1888. His family background was
that of wealth and social position.
AS a youth he was not of rugged
health, and after his graduation
from Harvard in 1910 went to New
Mexico. He engaged in the print
ing business at Santa Fe and sub
sequently acquired several news
papers.
In 1927, when Senator A. A.
Jones, Democrat, died in office,
Mr.. Cutting was appointed to his
place. He ran for the full term
in 1928 eand! was. elected by a
substantial majority.
Last November, he again faced
the voters and was reelected, al
though by so scanty majority
that the legality of his election
was questioned by his Democratic
opponent, Representative Chavez,
who filed a contest. That con-
test still is pending, although it
is doubtful that it would have
ever prevailed.
Brilliant, Hard Worker
The Senator never married.
He resided here with his aged
mother. Mrs. Bayard Cutting, in
fashionable residential district.
In the Senate, Mr.. Cutting was
known as a hard worker and a
brilliant speaker. He did not
often engage in oratory or in
casual debate, but when he did
he usually contributed to it.
A man of distinct liberal ten
denotes, he pursued his own
course in the Senate, independent
of and impervious to the ordinary
kind of political and executive
pressure which Senators are
called upon to withstand.
Perhaps his closest personal
friend in the Senate was Young
Bob" La Toilette Of Wisconsin.
They had much in common. Mr..
La Toilette was one of the first
Senators to go to Mr.. Cuttings
office today when news of the
airplane crash reached Washing
ton. He was grief-stricken.
White House Caller
Although he was one of the four
Republican Senators who bolted
Hoover and supported Roosevelt
in 1882, the national Administra'
ton gave Mr.. Cutting no help in
his contest in 1884.
On the contrary, at the insist,
ence of the New Mexico Demo
cratic organization, National
Chairman James A. Farley did the
organizations best to elect Rep
resentatiye Chavez.

of the new Reich.
Addressed to 200 pilgrims from

marks referred to reports that
Catholic youths, after returning
from the Vatican, were thrown into
concentration camps in Germany.
The Pope said:
"In the name of SO-called posi-

which leaves no stone unturned

HARLEY and Hopkins are as one IN concedlng that

they still have enough influence to make the next
campaign a real fight.
Any New Dealer will tell you that the big fight IS

government as it has in the past and the New Deal
theory that liberal government should run the
country in the interest of the people as whole.
In New York. Indiana Missouri, and many otner

But Roosevelt personally interviewed to appoint
