SCHOOL BOARD !.
LACKS RESERVE .
TO ISSUE BONDS
Director Says IrvingtOn
High Impossible Even i
With State Approval.

Even though the State tax board
has declared its willingness to
authorize bonds for new Irving
ton high school site, the school
board does not have the necessary
bonding power reserve, according to
Albert F. Walsman, school business
director.
Bonds already issued and others
pending will place the school city
within $4O7,225 of the 2 per cent
bonded Indebtedness limit, Walls
man said.
Estate law permits us to issue
bonds not to exceed per cent Of
the value of taxable property with
in the corporation" he said.
Need Million Reserve
Good business Judgment de-
mands a bonding reserve Of al least
a million dollars at all times in
event of a catastrophe, such as a
fire or tornado.
Thus the bonds the tax board
will so freely grant are not avail
able unless they can authorize us
to ignore the law"
Walsman said the bonding list OF
the school city is $13, 1929 25, based
on the 1927 valuation of $685.
461,290.
Bonds already issued amount to
S11,557, 600 The board has pending
before the tax board a 100000
issue for four new grade schools and
another $215,O00 issue for an Arse
nal Technical High School audito-
rum. A $550,00O temporary loan
made in February brings the total
indebtedness to $12,922,O00.
Opposes Money Borrowing
Walsman has been preparing fig
ures in a fight against borrow
ing money for every purpose, main-
tanning that with careful manage
ment, grade school buildings can be
constructed from the tax levy, thus
leaving a bonding reserve from
which high schools could be con-
structed. This should be possible
within the next two years without
raising the tax levy. he said.
He cited figures showing that for
every dollar of bonded indebtedness,
the school city will pay $l.90 in
principal and interest.

RUSSIA HONORS
BIRTH OF LENIN,
NATIONAL HERO
Nation IdOIizeS Dead Red
Leader; Children Named
for Him.
BY EUGENE LYONS
United Press STAFF Correspondent

MOSCOW, April 23.-The Soviet
Union celebrated Sunday the
birthday Of its national hero, Vladi-
mer Ilyich Ulianov, known affec-
tionately to millions of his country
men as Ilyich, and to history as
Nikolai Lenin. He was born on
April %, 1870.
The press overfiows with eulogy
of the late BolsheYik leader and
thousands of meetings pledged
once more to carry on the work
which he started.
Perhaps no other man in modern
history has won the homage of mil
lions in so short time; eleven
years ago Lenin was known only to
comparatively small political or
ganization and to an even smaller
number Of students Of political
economy.
The homage for a large section
Of the Russianl population amounts
almost to blind faith.
Name Cities in His Honor
The extent to which the name
and the image of Lenin have become
an inescapable part of everyday
life over one-siXth of the earth's
surface is one of the most extra
ordinary facts about the Soviet
Union.
Many of the Soviet republics have
important cities named in his honor,
such as Leningrad, Leninakan in
Armenia and Ulianovski in Siberia.
Tens of thousands of children
born since the revolution have been
named Lenin or Lenina or Vladimir.
Vladlena-a compound of Vladimir
and Lenin-is a popular name for
girl babies.
Statues Everywhere
Literally every city in the vast
Soviet domain has a statue to Lenin
more likely than not a hastily
made and banal one. In the larger
cities there are numerous statues.
An interesting characteristic Of
these monuments is that with few
exceptions they do not idealize him.
They show him in simple human
poses, wearing a cap and somewhat
ill-ftting overcoat, or with hands
stuck into pockets.
BuSts Everywhere
Practically every factory, club,
trade-union headquarters, school,
has a "Lenin Corner" usually de-
voted to books or other cultural
matters. A red-draped bust or pic
ture of Lenin is the central decora-
ton of these corners.
AS to pictures and small busts,
they are being bought and exhibited
by the hundreds of thousands and
the demand for more never seems to
abate.

Arctic Airmen Contemplate
Hop From Spitzbergen
to Paris.
VESSELS DUE IN MAY
Small Radio Station Busy
Receiving Acclaim for
Two Heroes.
BY OLE CAVLING
United Press STAFF Correspondent

COPENHAGEN, April 23.-Capt
George wilkins, who with Carl B.
Eielson flew across the top of the
world from Point Barrow, Alaska,
to Spitzbergen, may fly away from
Green Harbor in one week, advices
from Oslo said today.
Previous dispatches had said that
the two exploring airmen contem-
plated a flight by way of Oslo and
Copenhagen to Paris.
The flight would take them out
Of the northland much ahead of the
time when they could leave for civ
ili2ation by boat. The ice jams,
surrounding Green Harbor probably
will not break up until mid-May, it
was said, and no boat could get in
until then.
Wires Father in u. S.
Both Wilkins and Eielson were
reported in the gayest of spirits to-
day and Eielson cabled his father
in America:
Am all right. Soon returning to
the United States
Over Sunday flags were flown at
full mast throughout this northern
territory as symbol of the success
of the fight and as token to the
bravery and daring of the two men.
1t was pointed out that the land
ing was extremely hazardous. Dead
Mans Island, twenty-five miles
from Green Harbor was the scene
of the ending of the 2012 hour flight
from Point Barrow.
Danger OF Starvation
1t is a narrow and uninhabited
spot.' There was extreme danger in
landing The two might have
starved to death on this narrow
spot before help reached them, in
stead of being forced to remain
there only five days before continu-
ing to the little town of Green Har-
Dor Their official greeting came
from Radio Operator Ihlen, who
was the sole official representative.
The feat of wilkins and EielSon
has received acclaim from all parts
of the world
The little radio stations of the
district were said to be overtaxed
with congratulatory messages to the
fiers, some from other famed eX-
plorers.
Roald AmundSen was among the
many to congratulate Wilkins and
Eielson.
Praised for HerOism
at was splendid exploit-not
only a sporting feat, but a flight
with a plan. General information
Wilkins and Eielson obtained will be
Of great interest to geographical
science, even though there could
have been no exact observations 1
believe the flight to have been tive
most remarkable in aviation history.
Unlike transatlantic fliers, wilkins
and EielSon could not count on as
sistance of any kind. They are
heroes" Amundsen said.
Fridtjof hansen, one of the most
famous Scandinavian explorers,
said:
1T was a flight that required real
heroism."

WIN ONLY4OF Is
T|LTSFROM YANKS
Comics CIaE No More Sue
CessfuI Against Champs
Than the Red Sox.
BY JOHN b. FOSTER.

NEW YORK, June 29.-One of the
most unexpected developments in the
American League race is the fact that
the Boston Red Sox, scorned and lam
pooned before the season opened, have
been quite as successful against the New
York Yankees as have the Philadelphia
Athletics, who have been regarded as
the Yanks' most dangerous adversary.
If the Yankees began the season with
their campaign outlined on the issue
that they must defeat the Athletics to
win pennant, they have been winners
beyond their expectations. They have
crushed the Athletics at every meeting,
and to date have won IL games, or half
seasons series, from Connie Mack's
men.
The success of the Yanks against the
Athletics exceeds all the expectations of
the early Spring Lefty Grove, the
Athletics pitching ace, has won but one
game from New York and lost five.
Rommel has lost a game to the YAM
KEGS; Walberg has won one and lost
two; Quinn has won one and lost one;
Orwell has won one and lost one, and
Ehmke has lost one. Only Grove, Wal
berg, Quinn and Orwell have been WIN
ners against the Yankees to date,
DiscOuraging to Macks.
This is deadening to team that was
organized on the theory that its pitchers
could hold their own while its batting
strength would be sufficient to demolish
the pitching defense of the New York
team which was not considered to be
over strong. In fact there were many
who thought that the Yankees pitching
staff would break down this year The
remarkable success of PipgraS was not
expected, Shealey proved fine finisher
when needed and Henry Johnson, the
wild finger of the Spring time, has
been able to pitch very effectively
against the Athletics.
The Yankees have played more games
against Eastern clubs than they have
played against the West, but In playing
against the East, the Yankees have
been able to set themselves firmly on
their feet for any grand rush that may
come toward the end of the season.
The New York team has been tumbled
from its lofty pedestal since the middle
of June--that is, the 800 pedestal in
the percentage column-but the Ath-
letics have been losing quite as industri-
ously and the st. Louis Browns, running
third in the race have not gained much
nor lost much.
It is interesting to observe that in

six homers ahead of his record-break-
ing pace of 1927.
Sam Gray's effective pitching was
the high spot of the st. Louis Browns
5-to-3 victory over Detroit. The Tigers
tried to win by sheer force of numbers,
no fewer than II players being thrown
into the breach in vain effort to stave
off defeat. The Browns now stand but
two games back of the second-place
Athletics.
Bill Cissell tripled in the ninth inning
to score Alex Metzler with the run that
enabled the Chicago White Sox to tri-
umph over Cleveland, to 2. Ted
Blankenship outpitched George Uhle
and would have won without the neces-
sity of garrison finish but for Carl
Lind's homer that tied the score in the
first half of the ninth.
The st. Louis Cardinals chung fast
to their four and "a -half-game lead in
the National League race by taking the
Pittsburgh Pirates into camp, to 3,
Wee Willie Sherdel hanging UP his
sixth successive victory. Homers by
Chick Hafey and frankie Frisch in the
seventh decided the issue.

py tle hSSoClateu FreSS.
A dozen games ahead of the pursuing
fleet, the Yankee destroyer steams along
confidently and serenely toward another
American League pennant.
Every rivil club in the circuit bears
the scars of battle with the defending
champions, but none has been more
sadly battered than Connie Mack's
Philadelphia Athletics, who in pre-sea-
son predictions figured to be the only
club capable of giving Babe Ruth and
company so much as run for their
money.
With other opponents the Athletics
have Jared not SO badly. Pitted against
the champions, 1t has been another
story a tale bitter to the ears of
Connie Mack, who sees his pet dream
before he retires apparently doomed to
fall short of realization at least fol-
another year.
For the fifteenth time this year the
two clubs clashed at Shibe Park yester-
day and for the eleventh time the
ultimate victory rested with the Yam
KEGS, and as usual. George Herman
Ruth was the particular fly in the oint-
ment for Mack's pitchers. The Babe
took occasion to smack out his twenty
ninth and thirtieth home runs of the
season as we'll as mere single Rube
Walberg was the victim of vicious
eight-hit barrage that Melted the cham
pions five runs in the first two innings.
George Earnshaw relieved him, struck
out 10 men, but was touched for seven
hits, that enabled the Yankees to make
their final run total 10 to 4 for the
Mackmen

Nationals a tying run in the eighth,
but the Red S0x In their half put over
two tallies, after two were out, 10 win.
Rothrock doubled and Flagstead was

next batter due.
But Manager Harris strategy WAS
crossed when Rollings stepped up 10 bat
for Slim. The pinchhitter doubled over
Goslin's head and ROthroek and Flag
stead dented the plate.
In the ninth, the Nationals had a
great chance to put themselves back on
the running when singles of Morris by
Rice, Barnes and Goslin Melted run
and left men on third and first bases
with only one gone. But Reeves popped
to Gerber and the game was gone when
Flagstead bagged Ruel's hoist,
