fretted over this until Corrine

the scanty woods left by the cut

in the beauty which they had

COPENHAGEN, July 8 by Air
MaiD Stains private house, his
"BerchteSgaden," is called Ma
desjda (hope) and is situated be-
tween Adler and Sochi, close to
the Black Sea coast north of
Batum. In the same region, the
last Russian czar had his private
villa, farther up in the mountains
on the River Msymda between
Adler and Gagrani.
The almost unreal beauty of
this part of the country once gave
birth to the legend that the Gar
den Of Eden was situated some
where in the Caucasian Noun
tains. Stain. however, Gid not
like this paradise and refused to
live in the czar's house, probably
because it q could be approached
only by one road-which led
through an extremely wild region.
Krasnaja Polana, the czar's
house, was therefore given to
MarShals Voroshilov and Bud
yenny as summer resort.
Nadesjda was built in 1888 by
the famous Russian architect,
Jofan, close to the great highway
named after Stain. Because of
its fabulous comfort, it ought to
be called a palace. There are
miles of flower beds, numerous
fountains, basins, sculptures,
orange houses. winter gardens,
tennis courts. etc. Nadesjda is
equipped with all the modern de-
vices; it has electric kitchens, re-
frigerators, many bathrooms.
Even the furnishing has been
planned in detail by specialists,
and outstanding Russian artists
have contributed to this wonder
full creation.
The area Is fantastically well
guarded by a whole regiment of
MVD troops, consisting of three
batallions and equipped with. the
AA4OoU 44ACSACAA a44 d140 III 1Ou11O OC~
fense weapons. The regiment is
commanded by MVD Gen. Bon
dar, a war hero and knight Of
the Suvorov Order. At every ten
yards around the house, there
are we'll camouflaged dugouts
equipped with periscopes, radar
and telescopes, where MvD men,
to the teeth, are keeping
watch day and night.
About two miles from Nadesjda
there are two airfields, a large
and a small one, with fine run
ways and underground nangars.
1t is ,rumored that an under
ground tunnel leads from one of
them to the villa. Residents OF
the vicinity are convinced that
none of the workers who built
the tunnel is alive, and that its

exact location IS known only to
three people: Stain himself, Gen.
Bondar and Stalin's confidential
valet, Jef1m, who is of Caucasian
origin.
Only a few people visit Ma
desjda and therefore little is
known about its splendor. We
have information only about
Stalin's bedrooms and about his
study. His official bedroom is kept

 BOW TO NEW WAGE

CANBERRA, Australia, June 23- R-The opposition labor party early today bowed to government demands for Senate passage of a wage regulation to which the labor ties objected.
 The opposition group, with ma jority in the Senate, last night had blocked passage of the regulation, providing a bonus equivalent to 56 cents weekly for a workers first child
 The labor group had threatened to force an early general election unless the liberal-country party CO., alition government agreed to dis regard the bonus in computing basic wage rates.
 Withdrawal of the labor opposi- ton was followed by Senate pass age of the bill.
