RUSSIAN POLAR
CHIEF UNDER FIRE
Criminal Wrecker Activity
Reported.in Organization
of Dr.. Schmidt.
BY the Associated p~

BY the Associated p
MOSCOW, March 2s.-The govern
ment said today that criminal, anti
Soviet activity OF wreckers" was found
in the northern sea route administra-
ton which is headed by DR.. Otto
Schmidt, who directed last summers
Polar flights to America and Polar
weather observations by four Russian
scientists.
Without naming DR.. Schmidt, the
Council Of the Peoples Commissars,
which is equivalent to the cabinet,
adopted resolution severely blaming
the sea route administration for the
perilous position Of Soviet ice breakers
and ships drifting helplessly In the
Arctic ice.
The resolution found the work Of
the northern sea route in 1887 "un-
satisfactory" and called for detailed
report by April IS.
The specific criticism dealt with the
fact that almost the entire ice breaker
fleet, and nearly half of the freighters
that ply the northern route and were
caught in the ice last autumn, are
exposed to imminent danger"
The resolution attributed "blunders"
to the inactive and conceited at
titude" of the sea route administra-
ton.
The resolution obviously was
prompted by the plight of three ice
breakers conveying ships which have
been drifting toward the Polar basin
the past five months.
It was the first time the northern
sea route, with the picturesquely
bearded Dr. Schmidt, one Of the fore
most ofncial heroes Of the Soviet
Union in command, has been publicly
criticized. Ivan Papanin, who COM
manded the ice foe weather expedi-
ton which was rescued on February
10, has been appointed first assistant
to Dr. Schmidt in Management Of the
N. S. R.
The government resolution was
adopted after the cabinet heard a re-
port by DR.. Schmidt and another by
Stanislaw Kossior, chairman Of the
Soviet Control Committee, which is
committee of inspection within the
government.
The resolution observed the gov
ernment docs not consider accidental
under the present management Of the
N S. R. the unacceptable fact that

claratory judgment that it lis in no

Attorneys for Mr. Moor are expected
to file similar motion within a few
days. G. H. A. then must answer the
motions, and the questions raised by
the motions and answer will be heard
within short time thereafter.
The suit resulted from the heated
fight on G. H. A. by the medical So
ciety. 1t was agreed upon by Off
clals of the G.. H. A. and of the Dis
trict as the best way to settle the
question of the associations right to
operate.
About 1000 employees of the Fed
eral Home Loan Bank Board, the
Home Owners Loan Corp. and afiili-
ated agencies are members of the as
sociation and pay 1920 a month for
medical attention, disqualification and
clinical services.
Horace Russell, general counsel Of
H. o. L. c., represented Group Health
in filing the suit. No injunctive relief
was asked to prevent local officials
proceeding against the association,
since they have agreed to abide by
the courts decision on the legal
problem.
The Scott resolution, now before the
House Rules Committee, is designed to
make the local inquiry incidental to q
broad probe into the subject of So
cialized medical care throughout the
country.
Mr. Shafer feels that since Mr..
SCOTS charges concerned the District

the one to make the investigation.

imminent WAR
Returns From Europe With
Several New Honorary
Degrees and Medals.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, March Performer
President Herbert Hoover came home
from Europe today with or 8 new
honorary degrees, Is or 16 new medals
and the conviction that general war
Is not imminent in Europe.
Degrees, medals and the conviction
"A conviction persisting in spite of
the extensive military preparations he
witnessed-were gathered in 4 two
month tour of II countries. It was his
first trip abroad in 10 years, and. smil-
1ng quietly, he confessed he had found
the continent changed"
Hears of Reorganization Action.
Some one told him first of the
passage by the Senate Of the Gov
ernmenf reorganization bill. He asked
whether 1t had been further amended,
and when he heard 1t had not said,
That's too bad"
But he could not see, he added,
that the bill contained any sugges-
ton of dictatorship. He himself, he
said, always had favored reorganiza-
ton Of departments.
Then he turned to his European
conclusions.
The first and outstanding change
I saw was the revolution from de-
mocracies into totalitarian or author
itarian governments or to some degree
Of dictatorship" he said.
THE second outstanding fact is
armament. Every government in
Europe is engaged in extending its
military forces. and in Ave years time
expenditures on armament and mill
tary forces have increased from four
billion dollars a year to eight billions.
The next factor is the fundamental
degeneration in the economic situa-
ton in Europe, at least in govern
ment finances and barriers to trade.
Outside Of one or two Bankan States
there is not q balanced budget in
Europe.
Nations Debts Mount.
Every country is getting further
into debt, and the next outstanding
factor is the development Of trade pro-
scription barriers. Partly as the re-
suit OF military policies, partly as q
result of planned economy and partly
as a result of currency. every nation is
engaged in movements toward self
sufficiency.
The next outstanding force is Just
plain fear, partly the cause, partly the
result of the movements l have Just
mentioned"
Some one asked if he thought there
would be general war in three or four
years, and Mr.. Hoover said he saw
no immediate prospect OF war"
The spirit I found everywhere was
one OF defense, not of offense."

say, have gone on record to say there
would be no death penalty.
The chances Of schuschnigg coming
up personally for trial are rated $3.50
ny tnose sources. II he is tried and
found guilty of fraudulent action in
connection with his proposed plebiscite
the penalty at most could be only two
years.
Schuschnigg, fighting to prevent the
union OF Austria and Germany that
Hitler accomplished March l3, had
ordered plebiscite on his policies II
never was held.
The charge being considered is that
Schuschnigg violated his own con-
stltution by ordering a plebiscite with
out obtaining approval of his full
cabinet.
Would Be Novel Trial.
The trial, If held, would be decidedly
novel in that an official Of a non.
existent regime would be tried under
its dead laws by an entirely different
regime.
Government spokesmen point out
that Goering merely referred in his
speech last Saturday to the likelihood
that the circumstances of the
Schuschnigg plebiscite were a swim
dle' and might be the subject Of a
trial.
