his final argument.
Their calm indifference broken. E.
Dreitzler, T. Reingold and v. Ter
voganian, their heads buried In their
arms, wept without restraint. as Wish
insky, known as the governments
greatest orator. began his summation.
The stony reserve of the other de-
PENDANTS was shaken obviously as they
faced Vishinsky's bitter denunciations.
The conspirators' only political
program was murder" Vishinsky de-
clared. Speaking rapidly. but with
out forensics, the prosecutor ran
through the whole history of the case.
and said he would take up the case
of each prisoner separately.
Spectators Listen Intently.
In hushed silence the spectators
leaned forward to catch every word
as the prosecutor read from his notes
You'll find we'll take the most
determined measures" Vishinsky
warned the defendants.
Turning viciously on Gregory S.
Zinovieff, one Of the principal de-
PENDANTS, Vishinsky snarled at him:
THE blood is still red on your hands.
Your cunning stretched to a point
where you wrote a neurology bewail-
ing death, yet you'd have killed him
(Stalin). You extinguished that
proud beacon then like paid mourner
and began tearing your hair"
Terming the conspiracy a shame
full. infamous treason and betrayal.
Vishinsky said: These wreckers are
contemplate, base, vile, despicable,
rotten band of murderous scoundrels.
Called Mad Fascist Dogs"
"They are neither tigers nor lions,
but are mad Fascist dogs-the dregs
of humanity-the scum of the under
world-traitors and bandits.
THE evidence produced in court
testimony proves the defendants be-
yond all doubt, with Trotzky leading,
instigated all plots and terroristic
activities.
His (TrotZky'S) instructions were
a determining factor in the formation
of a united Trotzky -zinovieff terror
istic bloc"
Earlier, criminal charges were
lodged against two former officials,
Gregory Sokoinikoff, former Ambas-
sador to the Court Of st. James. and
M. Seredyakoff. former vice minister
of communications, and additional
arrests were foreseen.
Ramifications already apparent in
the plot to kill Dictator Stain and
overthrow the government indicated
the trial will leave a deep scar on the
official life of the Communist party,
observers here believed.
Party Leaders Mentioned.
At least eight men now or formerly
high in party circles have been men
toned in testimony relating details
of the plot.
Observers believed many months
would be required for conclusion of
the governments effort to drive from
power every one Of the old guards
who once followed Trotzky.

Seven drought doctors President
Roosevelt called into consultation to

talked confidently today of a perma-

Morris L. Cooke, rural electrification
administrator and chairman of the
Presidents committee, visualized
land of greener fields.
1T can be done with a little
planning" he said. 1T will take
orderly agriculture. 1t will take CO.
operation between the farmer and the
Government. 1t will take nerve, but

has already traversed the drought

Cooke said only a comparatively
few farmers will have to move.
There will be no great movement
Of families from one State to an
other" he said. "A few families may
have to be moved from one district
within State to another more fertile
district. There will have to be re-
adjustment of land uses.
Conservation Necessary.
at seems, speaking broadly, that
some of the stock ranches should be
larger. Some of the farms should be
smaller. Water and land must be
conserved throughout the whole ter
ritory. If a program had been placed
in effect 25 years ago this present
drought would have been felt much
less"
He said he saw little chance for the
rural electrification administration to
do much in the way of development
IN the area because costs would be
too great"

HEAVY CORN IMPORTS.
Shortened United States Crop and
Low Argentine Prices Factors.

Low Argentine Prices Factors.
By the Associated Press.
Government economists said today
the drought-shortened domestic crop
and the lower price of Argentine corn
may push the volume of corn imports
from that country this year above the
33,466, ,137-bushel total of 1885.
Discussing the situation privately,
they said the value of the imports also
might exceed the figure recorded last
year, when the Commerce Department
estimated corn valued at s14,794,724
at Argentine ports was brought into
the United States in the wake of the
1884 drought.
This possibility was envisioned as
the number of counties officially
designated as drought territory and
eligible for Federal emergency relief
climbed past the 1000 mark.
