Belief that recognition of Soviet Russia by the United States may result in a benefit to Indiana's foreign trade, was expressed by Francis Wells, manager of the Indianapolis office of the United States department of commerce, Saturday. In 1530, the peak year of American exports to Russia, Wells estimated that Indiana's sales amounted to between $8,000,000 and $10,000,000. Factors Set Out. Reduction of trade in the last two years has been due in large measure to credit difficulties between Soviet representatives and American manufacturers, as well as the world-wide depression and a Russian grain crop failure. Analysis of exports shows that virtually all were 'production" goods, including automobiles, tractors, trucks, tools and dies for tool making and manufacturing machinery, Wells said.

S. Litvinov Withdraws Bill for American Expedition Into Vladivostok, However. WASHINGTON, November 18 (A.P.) Maxim Litvinov, Soviet commissar, has waived his government's claims growing out of the American expedition to the Vladivostok region in 1918, but Russian claims for the Archangel expedition still stand. Litvinov told newspaper men the bill the Soviet might have presented for the Vladivostok venture was withdrawn because of documents he had seen which convinced him this expedition intended to respect Russian territorial integrity. 5 7,000 Soldiers Landed.

The Vladivostok expedition, headed by General William S. Graves, comprised about 7,000 soldiers, sent to Russia in the summer of 1918. Various reasons were assigned in both cases for the decision to land soldiers on Russian soil after the revolution. Among them was fear that German prisoners "would rearm and damage the allied cause. This expedition was withdrawn entirely i in 1920, having ln.4 little participation in military moves against Soviet troops.

Actively Fought Communists. On the other hand, the Archangel expedition about 4,700 men under command of a colonel actively fought Communist troops, advancing into Russian territory and later retreating before aroused Bolshevist soldiers. These men were withdrawn in the summer of 1919, after more than 200 Americans had lost their lives. Approximately 300 soldiers were wounded.

Another 24,000 men are to be employed on various federal public works projects to be undertaken in the state. To Be Continued. Governor Paul V.

McNutt announced that state highway improvement projects, in which 20,000 men have been employed in the last few weeks, would be continued and expanded. These men have been working every other week. The Governor said that an additional $1,000,000 for this, work has been set aside by the state nighway commission and that beginning Monday wages of workers would be increased from 40 to 50 cents sn hour and they would be employpd on a full time basis, working thirty hours each week. This work will continue he said, until the $2,500,000 fund is exhausted. Many counties in the state have been unable to meet the heavy demands for relief, according to William H.

Thomas E. Garvin, receiver of the Meyer-Kiscr Bank, was several steps advanced Saturday in his struggle to marshal hidden assets as a result cf almost two weeks of questioning of Sol Meyer, president of the defunct institution, aided by Howard Painter, accountant who audited the bank's books. The inquiry in which Walter My ers.

attorney for the receiver, did most of the questioning, nas touched frequently on acts which may have been in violation of the crim- lnal laws of the state, and answers from the witness have opened the way for Garvin to attempt to re- cover on the fiduciary bonds pro- vided by the officers of the bank. Surface Only Scratched." The investigation has. in the words of Walter Myers, "only scratched the surface," but it has progressed to the point where many law suits for the recovery of indirect profits of the bank are indicated and in some instances started. The next step in the receiver's inquiry is likely to be into the period in which Ferdinand Meyer, J. J.

Kiser and M. S. Cohn, former officers of the bank, attempted to liquidate it under the directions of the Indiana banking department. In Liquidation Period. Painter, as auditor, reports that in this period of liquidation, cash amounting to $317,530.90 was received and cash disbursed amounted to $418,575.26 without any distribution to depositors.

The total of salaries paid out in this liquidation period was which includes a salary paid to a son of Luther S. Symmons, then banking commissioner in control of the department which undertook to supervise the liquidation. Innumerable offsets, the most of which are questioned by the receiver as being beyond the law, were made under what are termed "supervisory orders" from the banking department. Plans for Recovery. Garvin and Myers are proceeding on the theory that the liquidators, under bond, are responsible for these actions and attempts will be made by the receiver to recover some of the sums thus paid out through demand and suits and also through action on the bonds of the liquidators.

The criminal side of the investigation will be followed through by Alvah J. Rucker, former Marion county prosecutor, and William B. Miller and Saul Rabb, attorneys for depositors' committees, who have been instructed to assist him by Judge Earl R. Cox. Both of the depositors attorneys have been present at the examination of Meyers.

Edward A. Hayes, national commander of the American Legion. warned that the Legion never will approve admitted tenets opposed in principle to American beliefs In Deity, Institution and government. Members "Good "The members of the American Legion are good soldiers." he aaid. We will do nothing to embarrass our nation, or to obstruct the efforts of government agencies.

"But whether we accept defeat gracefully or not, the American Legion will never approve the admit ted tenet that are opposed in principle and in practice to our belief in the Deity and our belief in American institutions and government. "We hope recognition will not per mit an easier dissemination of those tenets nor their encouragement in the United States. If it does, then the American Legion will continue to oppose them in every legal way pos sible." Cheer Opposition Speech. Anncu of Russian recog nition came shortly after Father Robert J. White, Watertown, national chaplain, had made an ad dress at the annual cor "ce of department commanders and adjutants in which he asserted the Legion should continue to oppose recognition even though it go down in defeat.

Mr. Litvlnov will remain in Washington for several days for further discussions. The Soviet commissar later said he believed these questions could be solved through normal diplomatic channels.

American private and governmental claims run from to $700,000,000. Aside from these major points, both Mr. Roosevelt and Litvlnov stressed in their recognition letters the hope that "our nations henceforth may co operate for their mutual benefit and for the preservation of the peace of the world." Litvlnov Predicts Lenity. Litvinov, in a talk to members of the press, forecast increasing unity "in the field of economics, culture and the struggle for peace." He expressed the hope that "really normal relations and "really friendly relations' rather than simply the conventional diplomatic interchange would prevail. Speculation centered on the letters covering propaganda.

The commissar said his government's "fixed policy" would be: "To respect scrupulously the in disputable right of the United States order its own life within its own jurisdiction in its own way and to refrain from interfering in any manner in the internal affairs of the United States, its territories or possessions. Restraint Is Promised, To refrain and to restrain all persons in government service and all organizations of the government or under ita direct or Indirect control, including organizations in receipt of fina al assistance from it from any act tending to incite or encourage armed intervention. or the bringing about by force of a change in the political or social order the whole or any part of the United States." This brought t-jghts of the Third International, many of whose leaders have been prominent in the Soviet government. But when questioned on the connection between the Communist party of Russia and that of the United States, Litvinov replied quickly: "The Communist party of Russia ha nothing to do with the United States and the Communist party of th-' United States has nothing to do with Soviet Russia."
