CHURCHILL BUDGET
HIT AS RICH MANS
Liberal and Labor Leaders
Attack Gold Standard
and Tariffs.
BY the Associated Press.

bS Ine Associdleu fFeee'
LONDON, April SO.-The spokes-
man of the Liberal and Labor parties
launched an attack upon Winston
ChurchilTs budget when the House of
Commons reassembled yesterday
Philip SnOwden, who held the office
of chancellor of the eXchequer in the
Labor government and turned the
public purse strings over to Mr..
Churchill when the Conservatives re-
turned to power declared that 1t was
the worst rich mans budget ever
introduced
Sir Alfred Mond, who has held
numerous high offices in previous
governments, doubted the wisdom OF
the Country's return to the gold
standard, saying it would tie the
British monetary system to that of
America and make the London bank
rate more subservient TO Wall Street
than it had been in the past in order
to obtain Il purely sentimental result.
He pointed out that although this
country's two greatest and graYest
problems were industrial depression
and unemployment on a scale almost
unprecedented. the chancellor of the
exchequer had given no indication
of how he proposed to deal with
them Not one penny had been al
located from the large expected
surplus for dealing with unemploy-
ment: the pence reduction in the
income tax he considered insufficient
to produce any actual effect on the
industry.
McKenna Duties Attacked.
Both Liberals and Laborites objected
TO the reimpostion of the Mckenna
duties and imperial tariffs, while the
Conservatives who spoke on the sub
ject thanked Mr.. Churchill for reviv-
ing them.
Philip Snowden had quite a few
bitter things to say about the budget.
Shorn of the glamour OF widows pen
sions, the budget was one where re-
lief of taxation had gone entirely TO
the direct taxpayers: there was not
penny of relief, he said, to the wage
earning classes.
Even the duty on silk Mr.. Snowden
saw as burden falling largely on the
poor. He argued that artificial silk
had largely replaced cotton in such
feminine apparel as stockings and
blouses.
Another former chancellor of the
eXChequer, Sir Robert 5. Horne, con-
graduated Mr.. Churchill on his work.

ger-SchooI Board Acts
In Public Interest

Establishment of safety zones in
the streets for the protection OF
school children was recommended
to the Board of Education by SUI
perintendent Frank w. Ballou and
adopted by that body at its first
fall meeting yesterday at Franklin
School headquarters.
Doctor Ballou told the board that
designation of arteries for through
traffic had made it increasingly
difficult for school children to
cross the streets in safety"
The superintendent informed the
board that he had two major plans
to work out during the next school
year: one, the closer supervision OF
the school system by school Of
ficers, the other, revision of the
courses. of study. Increase in the
number of assistant uperintendents
would make better supervision pos
sible. he said. The study revision
win be. carried out shortly, Doctor
BalIou stated, under the direction
of an officer who would be re-
leased from all other duties.

stor,er Il. Franklin Bell, expressing
the opinion that closing of the
Iangdon School for fire hazards
was, not justified after an examina-
ton of the building had been made,
was received by the board.
In another letter to the, board the
engineer commissioner said he does
not believe it would be economical to
erect the eight-room addition to the
Park View School on ground that
would have to be purchased for the
purpose. He suggested that nothing
be done until after Congressional
hearings on school projects.
But four of the nine members OF
the board were present. AS this
number did not constitute a quorum
for transaction of business. it was
decided to hold special meeting
next wednesday. Consideration of
an arti-fraternity rule is expected
at the next session. n

Bat Practice Hurts
Style of Moundsmen

Pitchers say that batting prac-
tiee spells them. Pitching TO
batters in the daily practice
cramps their style.
To pitch to battors In prac-
tice means laying the ball over
the plate with nothing on 1t.
ANY time the pitcher hooks one
he Is called down. He cannot
use any stuff on the ball. An
amount of this kind of pitching
means that the pitcher gets into
the habit of laying the bah over
and he does it unconsciously
when called on to pitch in
game.
1t is the explanation they give
for pitchers suddenly being hit
hard in a game and the expth-
nation carries a certain amount
OF logic.
