A vast conspiracy to sabotage the entire Soviet railway system to assure the defeat of Russia in the event of war with Japan and Germany was related today by the bewhlskered Karl Radak, former editor of Isvestla and one of 17 defendants who have pleaded guilty- to treason. During four hours of testimony, Radak admitted elaborate plans were drawn to paralyze the railway system in a scheme by which the plotters hoped lo overthrow Josef Stalin and bring back a modified capitalism to the Soviet Union. Hadek testified Germany was to receive the rich Ukraine valley and Japan was to get Russia's marl- time provinces In return for aid in overthrowing the Communist government. But, he added quickly, the conspirators hoped eventually to regain these territories when Japan and Germany might become estranged and go to war. "There would be a new revolution and we would regain the territory," Radek said.

Cautioned at the outset to mention names of no foreign officials with whom lie allegedly had conspired, Radek twice broke this Injunction. But thereafter ho referred to a "certain Far Eastern power" and a "certain Central European power." A former Washington correspondent for the newspaper Izvestia testified lie had full knowledge of a terrorist plot against the government. The witness was Vladimir Romm, arrested after his return from Washington last summer and Implicated in the admitted conspiracy. Romm testified lie carried five letters from Radek to Leon Trotzky exiled Bolshevist leader, discussed the situation in a dark alley near a Paris park with Trotzky, and agreed to become the latter's undercover informant while serving as Izvestia correspondent in was unable to Ho so. (Trotzky, now in Mexico City, issued a vigorous denial to the Moscow charges.

He said he heard last night "for the first time" the name of Romm, and that his last contact with Radek was in 1928.)
