SOVIET OBSERVES
ANNIVERSARY OF
RED REVOLUTION
BY EUGENE LYONS
United Press Staff CORRESPONDENT

MOSCOW, Nov. Z. U.P)-Despite
night and day work or months, the
new Mausoleum which will shelter
the body of Nicolai Lenin in Red
Square was still uncompleted today
as the Soviet Union started great
two day celebration of the 10Th an
niversary of the Bolshevik reXolu-
tion.
While millions of citizens of the
Soviet Union took part in holiday
demonstrations to mark the anniver.
sary of seizure of power by Com
munist leaders on November Z,
1917, there was wide disappointment
in Moscow that the Lenin Mauso
leum would not be inaugurated as
the outstanding feature of the cele-
bration. Moscow had looked forward
for months to the unveiling of the
elaborate stone structure which will
house the preserved body of the
great Soviet leader. Lenin's body
had been sheltered by simple wood
en- structure for five years, but this
was merely a temporary structure
and was torn down to make way for
the new building.
The monster parades, meetings
and sport festivals in Moscow dur
ing the two day celebration were
carried out in every other town of
the union.
School children did not take part
IN the parades here because of fear
of a searlatina epidemic, but they
participated in other phases of the
celebration.

CRYER REVEALS
MEANS BY WHICH
HE MADE MONEY

LOS ANGELES, Nov. 7. U.P)-
The story of how he made his for
tune was continued by former May
or George Cryer today in the court
room where he is the complainant
against the Rev. Il. p. Shuler, on
trial on charges CT criminal libel.
He went into Il long and detailed
description of the various business
deals by which he made money. His
story was designed to show as false
Rev. Shuler's intimation that the
former city executive became
wealthy by grating.
His financial transactions, Cryer
said, all were made in "the custo-
mary manner" and no one connect
ed with the city administration had
any part in them.
When he took office in 1921, he
said, he had convertible assets val
ued at $151, 200, - parcels of real
estate, 81 500 automobile and a
$4,000 home.
In an article in "Bob Shuler's
Magazine" in which he attacked
Cryer, Shuler lad questioned how
a man living in IL modest bungalow,
going to work on street ears, could
finish a term in office as a million
aire.
Cryer brought financial records
to court to show his real estate prof
its.
One lot which he bought in 1921
for $7,l00 was sold in 1928 for $13,-
600. He related & long list of SINH
lar profitable Investments.
An attempt to introduce tax re-
ceipts was blocked by the defense
so that Cryer was forced to relate
in the greatest detail all of his
transactions.
The former mayor was expected
to be one of the last witnesses
against Rev. Shulcr.
