|And What
They Do
Fomous Russian
Geneticist Put
Under Fire
By LEMUEL F. PARTON.

When the 80 Years War threw
most OF Europe into spasms Of to-
talitarianism, Rene Descartes, the
philosopher, frequently had to Jump
boundaries on short notice. Trying
to say his say without consulting the
police. he found refuge principally in
Holland, England and Denmark.
Modern intellectual commissions at
tendant on absolutism have left free
spirits In Europe in much the same
unease and the "King's-x" countries
are also the same, after 400 years.
In 1896, Prof. N. I. Vavilov, famous
Russian geneticist. vehemently de-
nying false report of his arrest for
unorthodoxy, cabled to a New York
newspaper a vigorous assertion that
science was free in the Soviets.
Statements that there is no INTEL
lectual freedom in the U. S. s. r.
are totally untrue" he said.
But, today, Prof. Vavilov is under
fire because his theory of genetics
does not square with the MARKHAM
assumption that environment is
everything and heredity nothing
that the short-enders are thus and
so only because they are exploited.
Reports, still unsubstantiated. are
that he will be ousted from his posts
of dean of the Lenin Academy Of
Agricultural Sciences and director
OF the Institute of Applied Botany.
Furthering the effort of Soviet
Russia to push back its frontiers OF
desert and ice, he has Travelled far
and raided many countries for plant
life possibly adaptable to Soviet
needs. With the late Ivan Pavloff,
pioneer Of behaviorist psychology,
he is probably the most famous Of
scientists Of the Soviet regime. He
addressed the International Con-
gress of Genetics at Cornell Univer.
sity IN 1882 and was in New York q
year later, on a tour of plant study
from Northwestern Canada to the
Argentine.
Stern and austere. always a mill.
tant defender of scientific freedom,
he speaks vigorous, clipped English
and has co-operated with geneticists
In other countries. His challenger,
according to current news reports,
Is young T. D. Lysenko. known as
the Burbank of Russia" originator
Of the method Of 'Yarovization," by
which subtropical plants may be
made to grow in the Arctic. The is
sue is apparently similar to that in.
volved in the Nazi reputation of the
Einstein theory, because of it's origin.
At any rate, Prof Vavilov's theories
are denounced as bourgeois genet
ics."

The Political Mill ~
Session Likely to Continue All Summer
II Leaders Force Neutrality Action

J, plans to make q number Of speeches
throughout the country In the late
summer and fall Of this year. He in
sists that people should be fully in
formed as to the position this coun-
ttry will find itself in should the bill
become law.
Congressional leaders believe that
II neutrality legislation is not
pressed In the Senate, 1t will be
easy for Congress to complete its
work and adjourn by July IS, and
that 1t might even get away around
July l. Only three major meas
ures remain to be dealt with-social
security amendments, which have
passed the House and await action
Of the Senate-the relief appropria-
ton which has just been put
through the House and must go to
the Senate, and the tax bill The
tax bill, which must become law
before July In order to prevent
the lapse Of taxes now imposed, will
be given the right of way. The
House may pass 1t Monday, and
the Senate Finance Committee
hopes to report the bill promptly
and If possible to have Senate &C
ton by the end of the coming week.
Such quick action on the tax bill,
however, may not materialize If
many amendments are offered in the
Senate, leading to long discussion.
President Roosevelt's comments to
the press on tax matters yesterday,
when he said that he believed the
base Of the Federal income tax must
be broadened by reducing the pres
ent exemptions on married and I'M
married persons and that the rates
must be increased in the middle
brackets" may find repercussions
in the Upper House. Senator La
Toilette has long insisted that the
base must be broadened. He may
offer amendments to the tax bill
to make such changes effective with
out more delay.
The Presidents suggestion that
the Federal income tax may be
made to apply to a large number
Of citizens who now are exempt set
tongues wagging In earnest on Capt.
tol Hill. Some legislators insisted
that such a doctrine was absolutely
contrary to what the Roosevelt ad-
ministration has stood for in the
past. Others predicted that it would
not be popular, and that 1t would
be exceedingly difficult to persuade
Congress to enact such tax legisla-
ton next session on the eve of the
congressional and national elections.
Change of Front Seen.
If large number Of citizens who
do not now pay direct Federal taxes
the income tax-are compelled to
dig down in their jeans for tax
money ther may come a decided
reversal of opinion regarding huge
governmental expenditures. The
Presidents suggestion it is time to
give these citizens a greater sense
Of responsibility by taxing them,
taken in connection with the pro-
posal of Attorney General Murphy
that State and Federal pay rolls be
cut about $1,000 0O0, 900 a year, Is
something new. Murphy figures this
may be done by reducing the num-
ber Of Government employees Is per
cent. 1t sounds like conservative
Republican propaganda-not New
Dealism. If the administration will
stick to these proposals, however,
it will make q hit with Senator
Harry Byrd Of Virginia and other
Democrats who have been worried
over Government finances.

Troops Will Ignore
{. |. 0. Pep Rally
Near Harlan
Progress in Unionizing
Coal Fields to Be
Discussed
BY the Associated Press.

HARLAN, KY. June l7.-Na-
tional Guardsmen, on duty for the
past five weeks in the Harlan soft
coal field, indicated today they would
observe hands of" policy in a
scheduled union pep rally" tomor-
row at nearby High Splint. KY.
II see no reason to interfere as
long as the meeting is peaceable," "
said Col. C. R. Smith, commander Of
the troops.
The rally was scheduled by dis
trict officials of the United Mine
Workers &C. I. o., who plan, Dis
trict Secretary Treasurer George
Titler said, to discuss "our progress
in unionizing the Harlan field"
Shortly after the troops were sent
into the county May IA when sew
eral mines resumed operations with
out union contracts, the military
issued series of restrictions gov
erning mass meetings. The union
at that time Cancelled a scheduled
meeting.
Approximately $4,000 men are en-
ployed in Harlan County mines.
Many have resumed work under con-
tracts signed by about 10 mines not
belonging to the Harlan County Coal
Operators Association which has
refused to sign the U. M. WIS union
shop agreement.
Most of the companies belonging
to the operators association have
reopened without contracts since
National Guardsmen were assigned
to the county.
Col. Smith said troops stationed
at the R. c. Tway Coal Co. fired
over the heads of group Of persons
on nearby hillside to brighten
them away" after being attacked
with stones. No one was hurt, he
said.

to belligerent nations, but at q
conference In the of1ice of Senator
Nye of North Dakota, yesterday
they talked over plans and strategy.
There is growing feeling that
II the President really wants Con-
gress out of Washington and II
he wants to get away from the
city himself, the administration
forces may find 1t convenient to
be contented with the passage of
the Bloom bill in the House-and
to let the measure rest, so far as
the Senate is concerned, until next
January. If this is not sufficient,
however, then the opponents of the
Bloom bill are planning to go to
the mat. They believe, they say,
that the people are just beginning
to wake up to the real meaning
Of the Bloom bill, and that once the
debate has been underway for q
few weeks. sentiment in this coun-
try will strongly back their posi-
ton.
Party Lines Disregarded.
The opposition to the Bloom bill
insists that If it is enacted into
law, Americas traditional policy of
remaining aloof from entangling
alliances abroad will have gone out
the window for all time. This, they
say, is not so much due to the pro-
visions of the bill. but to the clear
implication that It's passage will
convey to the world that the United
States Is In alliance with Great
Britain.
The opponents of the Hull Bloom
neutrality changes include many Of
the most effective debaters In the
Senate, among them Borah OF Idaho.
johnson of California, Clark of
Missouri. Walsh of Massachusetts
Vandenberg of Michigan, McNary
Of Oregon, the G.. o. p, leader;
La Toilette of Wisconsin and Nc
Carron of Nevada. Party lines are
disregarded in this opposition to
giving the President authority to fix
combat zones into which American
vessels may not go in time of war
and to doing away with the embargo
against the shipment of arms and
munitions to belligerents. Demo-
Gratis, Progressives, Farmer-Labor-
ties and Republicans are all repre-
sented In the group-and while it
Is at present far less than a ma
jority Of the Senate, 1t may easily
gather adherents as the debate pro-
crosses.
So aroused is Senator Borah over
the Hull-Bloom proposals that if
there Is no debate of the matter
