quiet pattern today despite the as.
sertion by Soviet Consul Genera

The farm is philanthropie

is operated on a nonprofit basis by
the Tolstoy Foundation. 1t was set
up in honor of .sthe late Count Leo
Tolstoy, one of Russia's most dis
tinguished novelists.
The estate attracted world atten-

Lomakin declared that those on
the farm had kidnapped two Rus

Stepanovna Kosenkina.
The farm is directed by the for

Dr.. Benes and Finland
Targets Of Attacks by
I Russian Periodicals
BY the Assecioted Press

MOSCOW. Aug. 1.-THE Literary
Gazette today made the strongest
attack on the Finnish government
to appear in the Soviet press since
Premier Karl August Fagerholm
formed his Social Democrat cabinet
last month.
The periodical New Times criti-
cized former Czechoslovak President
Eouard Benes, asserting that during
World War II he had tried ito hold
back the Czechoslovak people from
active battle with the German
Fascist oppressors." This was the
first attack on DR.. Benes in the
Russian press in recent years.
The attack on Finland, the lead
ing article in the Literary Gazette,
labeled Premier Fagerholm as
Tanners man." (Vaino Tanner,
former finance minister, was
sentenced to five years and six
months imprisonment in 1916 for
leading Finland into war with
RuSsia)
Justice Minister Assailed.
The paper said the presence OF
Aleski Aaltonen "a minister without
portfolio) in the Finnish cabinet is
signal for all collaborationistS
that they will soon be restored to
their rights" The Gazette described
Mr.. Aaltonen as an old agent OF
the Finish secret police
An especially bitter attack was di-
.or+e., AZ tbe ,oeuy minister of ms
tice. Tauno Soutausta, who was
called a 'fanatical Germanophile,'
a former member of the "Karelian
Society" and the prosecutor in a
court at Turku where he demanded
the death penalty for the founders
of the Society for Friendship with
the U. 5. S. R.
The whole Finnish government
was described as being made up OF
the people of 1889" who, according
to the publication, pushed Finland
into war with the Soviet Union.
Custer Laid to Mistakes.
New Times attack On DR.. Benes,
written by N. Rubenstein. implied
that the CzechosloVak people had
got rid of the former President be-
cause of his mistakes. DIR. Benes
resigned in June and was succeed
ed by Communist Element Gott-
valid, whose party had seized con-
troll Of the country in a coup last
February
Reviewing Dr.. Benes' book, From
Munich to New War and New Vic
tory" Rubenstein quoted the Czech
oslovak leader as saying that after
the war the people itself dealt with
those who made mistakes"
1T is impossible not to agree with
this declaration Rubenstein wrote.
The article pictured DR.. Benes
as one who for years refused to rec
ognize the Soviet Union and who
established diplomatic relations only
after the United States did so. Dr.
Benes was described as one who re-
fused to accept Soviet aid against
the Germans at the time of the
Munich crisis in 1888.

NEW YORK, July 15.-The ques-
ton of whether or not organized
baseball is a monopoly In violation
| of the Nations antitrust laws
seemed headed for another session
in the United States Supreme Court
today.
Federal Judge Henry w. Goddard
dismissed a $4,000 damage suit
against Commissioner A. B. Chan
dler and other baseball officials yes
terday, with q suggestion that the
Supreme Court might reverse a 26-
year-old opinion If 1t had the op-
portunity.
Danny Gardella, former New York
Giants player, brought the suit,
claiming that a flve-year suspen-
sion ordered by Chandler deprived
him of his livelihood. Gardella
was one of several former major
leaguers suspended for jumping to
the Mexican League in 1916.
! Judge Goddard said his, action
III dismissing the case was taken
because of q 1922 Supreme Court
ruling holding that baseball was
not engaged in trade or commerce
under the Sherman Antitrust Act.
The case involved the Federal
League, which operated outside Of
organized baseball.
After observing that the United
Circuit Court of Apeals last year
reaf1rmed the 1922 opinion, Judge
Goddard remarked that the Supreme
Court in recent years had revised
its definition of trade, and added:
