WHO’S WHO IN MOSCOW
LATEST SOVIET VOLUME
MOSCOW, Jan. 6.—The Sovet fias
entrusted a talented young Hungar
an geographer, Rado, wth the task
of compiling a new and unique
“Baedeker” of the Soviet Union. The
volume which Rado, assisted by a
small staff, is now producing will be
without precedent in the history of
guide-books. It will begin with a
brief geographic introduction, includ
ing descriptions of the new republic
within the Union.
The historical chapters, complying
with Maxist principles, will devote
slight attention to individuals, Peter
the Great, the first Romanoff and
Lenin being virtually the only per
sons mentioned.
Ensuing passages will sketch the
structure of Soviet state, the com
munist party and the Red army, and
special articles will be contributed
by experts on trade, industry, agri
culture, transport and finance un
der the Soviets.
The usual hints to the bewildered
tourists will include suggestions that
foreigners should always pay the
droshke-driver one-half of the fare
requested, and that the conventional
method of address, “Mister,” has
been replaced by the more unaccus-1
tomed “Comrade.”
41,555 AUTO TRUCKS IN
WASHINGTON LICENSED
OLYMPIA, Wash., Jan. 6.—L. D.
Conrad, who is in charge of the mo
toi vehicle section ~f the department
of public works has advanceed a
new suggestion for handling auto
freight franchises. Though there
were 41,555 auto trucks licensed this
year only 323 of them were oper
ated on regular routes between fix
ed terminal and under a state cer
tificate of necessity and conveni
ence. The operation of the present
law is held unsatisfactory because
it does not properly protect re
gular routes and does not reach
other auto trucks in for-hire serv
ice. Mr. Conrad has suggested a
proposed district; that a trade route
then to be established and all other
for hire service be kept out of the
district. If the service proves un
satisfactory he would have it can
celed. The whole operation of the
law thus would depend upon the
wishes of the people to be served.
VICTIMS MAKE CRIME
EASY, SAYS EXPERT
OAKLAND, Cal., Jan. 6.—Crime is
made easy by the excessive number
of dupes in the country, according
to George C. Henderson, an author
ity on criminology.
“It is the victim,” he explained,
“the sap, dupe, gull and easy mark,
whatever you want to call him, who
supports the thousands of crooks in
America and gives the country cred
it for a two billion-dullar loss by
crime.
v “They leave their automobiles un
protected, for thieves to steal. They
carry large sums for pickpockets to
