SOVIET CANNOT
Sell ENORMOUS
Gem COLLECTION
Crown Jewels of Cars
Worth S2o,OOoOOO or
So Apiece.
Ry United Press

BU United Press ...+
MOSCOW, June 15.-The Soviet
government owns so many precious
diamonds that it cannot get rid of
them. 1t is clicked with its own
riches.
The Crown Jewels of the Cars
now owned by the government, are
conservatively valued at not penny
less than S250,000,000, but they
might as we'll be worth nothing so
far as they help the Soviet State.
They are so valuable that nobody
will buy them. And the government
which owns this gigantic fortune in
gems is hard up for cash.
The officials in the Commissariat
of Finance are trying to forget they
possess such things as diamonds and
emeralds and pearls, while they sit
up nights figuring out ways to get
the cash they need to keep the
country going.
Orloff Diamonds
One gigantic uncut diamond in
the top of the former Imperial scep-
ter would take a great load off the
minds of the governments financial
planners, if it could be turned into
money. 1t is the Orloff diamond,
shaped like an egg and nearly as
large, flawless and worth tens OF
millions of dollars. But nobody
wants it. 1t was given to Catherine
the Great by a courtier. 1t is too
valuable to be bought nowadays.
Another little chunk of transpar-
ent stone is only an inch long and
half an inch square, about half the
size of a matchbox. But it is all
diamond, without blemish.
Up on the top of the Imperial
Crown, perched on little hill of
sparkling diamonds. is ruby which
would build several hydro-electric
stations if it could be turned into
the S20,000,000 it is worth.
There are as many diamonds on
the crown as could be put on an
ordinary large derby hat if they
were put as close together as pos
sible.
AlE MAlOAC NAOWAA 40 wa va NNNNN
S75,000,000 or more.
Bracelet of Paul
There is a broad gold bracelet with
a slab of diamond set on 1t, like a
wrist watch. The diamond is per-
feet two-inch mirror in which Paul
the Mad used to look at himself
whenever the fancy struck him.
There is an Indian SAPPHIRE as deep
as a midnight Indian sky set in a
circle of diamonds like stars. The
Soviet authorities think somebody's
mother or aunt might like to have
that piece in exchange, say for
Sll 100000 worth of tractors.
There is an emerald so green that
it would make Ireland look grey
and can be had for 100000, but
nobody wants it. There are guards
day and night in the chamber and
guards to watch the guards and III
spectors to watch the guards who
watch the guards.

COL. MITCHELL /
RAPS NAVY FOR
PLANE DAMAGES
Neglect of Spirit Of St.
LOUIS Used by Indy,
Charged by Aviator.
BIZ United Press

BIZ United Press
WASHINGTON, June 15.-Wil-
liam Mitchell, formerly in charge
of United States Army aviation
overseas, charged today in a letter
to the WASHINGTON Post that the
Navy had used Charles Lindbergh
for propaganda purposes" and was
responsible for the motor troubles
in his Spirit Of st. Louis"
A letter from Assistant Secretary
Of Navy Edward P. Warner, printed
beside Mitchell's letter, absolved the
Navy from blame in connection with
the plane.
The CONTROVERSY arose from the
fact that Lindbergh Monday bar
rowed an Army plane for his fight
to New York after he found his own
motor working imperfectly.
A sticking" valve, or, more
technically, frozen cam follower"
was blamed for the trouble, which
Navy men and some aviation ex-
perts said could not be foreseen.
Mitchell said behind the difficulty
lay "the spirit which the Navy al
ways has held toward aviation, that
of keeping it down and under"
1T is the saying now, Join the
Navy and see the world, but joilI
the naval aviation and see the neX
world" he wrote
Mitchell, center OF an aviation
controversy in 1925 which led to his
retirement from the Army service,
charged the Navy had incompetent
directing heads" in it's air service,
and suggested the Navy was I'M
willing to admit that battleslnips
were useless in the light of aviation
development.
Mitchell insisted the Lindbergh
fight had proven the correctness
of the Mitchell position in favor of
a special Government department
of aviation.

OAKLAND ROTARY CLUB
Host To Teachers of High and
Grammar Schools 4

The Oakland Rotary Club at its
meeting last Friday evening, had as
it's guests the teaching force of the
Oakland High and Grammar schools,
numbering well on to twenty earnest,
intelligent men and women.
F. E. Rathbun, county superintend-
ent of schools, and a member of the
Boys Work committee of the Rotary,
presided during the evening. In his
opening remarks, Mr.. Rathbun point
ed out that "the educational forces of
Oakland are exceedingly proud and
grateful of this evenings tribute to
the local teachers in their having this
evidence of appreciation of their la
bors for the boys and girls during the
school year now drawing to its close.
1t will make them all better class
room teacher They are deeply ap-
preciative of this evenings testimon-
ial of their services for the youth of
our community.
at is a similar source of gratifca-
ton to the members of the county
board of education, all members of
which board are present this evening.
The board is always pleased over
such evidences of public approval of
the services of the teachers in our
schools.
County boards of education are
more interested today in such things
than they once were. In years gone
by, school boards were farther re-
moved from actual class room instruc-
ton than they are today. They once
were a board designed to protect and
advance the interests of some polit-
zeal party through detailed profess
sional administration of public
schools. The State School Law of
1916, however, had as its purpose the
changing of all this. This law was
passed upon the recommendations of
the General Education Board of New
York City, which had made survey
of the schools of the State during 49,
14-1915. This law of 1916 changed
entirely these functions of a county
board of education to a board of
equity.
"This equity functioning of coun-
ty school board, concluded Mr.. Rath-
bun, lis expressed through its being a
board that shall have as its duty re-
conciling the highest welfare and best
interests of the children in the schools
with the best interests of the tax
payers Of the county as also The in
terests of the teachers in the schools.
And county board of education is
highly efficient that serves most eff
fectively this three-fold purpose Of be-
ing in fact a keyboard of equity
rather than one of political and pro-
fessional duties"
Short speeches We're also made by
Miss Conley, principal of the local
high school, and by Miss Leary, prin-
cipal of the grammar school. Douglas
Helbig, a member of Oakland Highs
graduating class, gave reading,
which was well received, and a short
address was also made by former
senator Mccullough, now a member of
the local board of education, who, IN
company with Mr.. John o. Tnayer;
were also guests of the Club during
the evening.
