PRIEST TELLS OF RAID ON
 MONASTERY
Nebraska Prelate Brings Twenty=fOur Students Back From Spain

Atchison, Kan, Oct 10.-(UP)- Religious conditions in Spain are improving, but members of religi- ous orders still are in grave dan- ger of attack and outrage, hac- cording to Father Gabriel Salinas, A. R., of Omaha.
 Father Gabriel recently returned from Spain, bringing with him 24 young Spanish monks, who have enrolled in higher theology courses at the St Benedict's College Ab- bey here. They left Spain be- cause of the religious and political troubles, resulting from overthrow of the King.
 Even while I was in Spain staying at the monastery of San Million in the province of Logrono, the convent was visited by the governor of the province and a body of state troops" the priest said. "The soldiers robbed the monks of their priceless mosaics and works of art.
 "The attack occurred about 10 o'clock on the night of August 16. All the monks had gone to bed.
 "A repeated and boisterous clamor at the gates aroused the porter, one of the monks. He re- fused admittance to the crowd. But the leader identified himself as governor of the province, and showed a commission from the department of the interior which permitted him to remove such works of art as he saw fit from the monastery"
 He related incidents in which men, forced to attack and burn churches and convents, aided the priests in escaping from mobs.
 These mobs. Father Gabriel charged, are not made up of citi- zens. but are composed of hired individuals who lead the attacks on religious institutions through out the country.
 The party of young monks mar rowly escaped probable injury at the hands of mobs at Barcelona, the priest said. A guard of state militia was called out to prevent the rioters from burning down the building.

SUPREME COURT
 WILL HEAR OF
 DISCRIMINATION

Washington-Seeming racial dis crimination at the polls, in the courts and in public schools will form the subject matter of sev- eral cases before the supreme court.
 All the cases come from Texas. In two of them the alleged dis criminatien is shown against Mex jeans. The other case involves the barring of negroes from the demo- cratic primaries.
 The appeals are being brought by membersr of the alien races. In each the Texas courts, which passed on the question, held in fa- vor of the allegedly discriminating authorities.
 l.. A. Nixon, a negro of Fl Paso. Texas. brought the appeal in- volving alleged discrimination at the polls. The suit follows one brought by Nixon some time ago, in which the supreme court ruled a state law, barring negroes from the democratic primaries was in- valid.
 After this ruling the state legis- lature passed what 1t called an
 CiHcIScHCy dulcuuIlcnL to the law in order to correct the situa- tion. It left the democratic state executive committee to decide who should be eligible to vote at the primaries.
 In Texas the democratic prim- ary is more important than the general election.
 Nixon attacks the change in the law.
 The failure of Menard county, Texas, officials to include Mex jeans, otherwise duly qualified, from grand and petit jury panels, is attacked in an appeal brought by Geronimo Ramirez. He is un- der sentence of five years in prison for an attack on another man.
 The third case involves an En- junction suit brought by Spanish and Mexican taxpayers in Del Rio to prevent the construction of a wing at he public school in which their children were to be segre- gated.

THE EIGHT WEEKS SYSTEM IN SCHOOLS
Subject to Be Discussed at Next Meeting of Board
 of Education
THE PUBLIC INTERESTED

retained in local schools, it was hetained in local schools, is was officially learned this morning. At the next session of the board of education 1t is quite probable that school authorities will adopt the suggestion of retaining the eight weeks system by scheduling school sessions three days week of the two weeks vacation given school children by the system. The sys- tenn going into effect in January, allows weeks vacation after two months of school session.
 The proposed school calendar for 1931-32 follows:
 1st Term-Open September 28th. 1881; close December 24th, 1881.
 End Term-Open December 30th, 1s31s close March End, 1882.
 3rd Term-Open March 7th, 1892, close May 4th, 1892; reopen May sth, 1882. close June 24th, 1882.
 All legal holidays will be ob- served throughout the year.
 When this plan was first dis cussed it was thought that it would be necessary to teach on the Fri day after Thanksgiving but more minute inspection of the calendar proved that since school is to be in session during the week of New Years which is legal holiday, New Years can be counted and it will not be necessary to teach the Fri day after Thanksgiving.

dren of the Porter street school
 were particularly fast and orderly
 in their drill. The youngsters in the new building, totalling about
 750, marched out from the rooms into the playgrounds in the splen- did time of l minute and sec- onds. From the old building the classes chalked up 1 minute and seconds. About $40 children took part in this particular demon stration.
 At St Joseph's parochial school over 1,600 children marched out of two buildings with an average mark of 1 minute and 5 seconds. The Duggan school in the drill staged by Marshal Holland also performed in such a manner as to win the commendation of their su- periors.
 The observance of Fire Proven tion Week was not carried out so this week as in former years. The marshal confined him. self to visits to school, staging drills and addressing classes. He made a special effort to have the consider every week fire prevention period by eliminat- ing all possible fire hazards and preventing refuse from accumulat- ing in cellars or "back rooms" He also warned the children about the dangers of winter months when frequently hot ashes thrown into boxes are the cause of fre- 1uent fires.
 Fire Marshal Holland is expect ed to prepare a formal report very shortly and submit 1t to the mem- bers of the board of fire commis- sioners for consideration. He will recount his efforts of the past week and it is very certain that he will acknowledge his gratitude to school principals and teachers for. their cooperation in making the weeks work among school, children most successful one. The marshal found on his trips about the schools that the youngsters remember much of instructions given to them in past years and that the older children are acting as instructors to the youngSer ones.

ANOTHER FIRST FOR WASHINGTON
 COMES IN VIEW
New Issue of Stamps Is Planned for His Two Hundredth Birthday

Washington, October 10 -s(UP) - George Washington, possessor of many firsts, is to clinch another when a new issue of stamps ap- pears January 2.
 The Postoffice Department has announced that to commemorate the First Presidents 200th birth day, it is preparing stamps in twelve denominations, each with the visage of Washington modelled from works of famous artists. Added to the present familiar two- cent issue the new issue will place George Washington far ahead of all others whose faces embellish stamps.
 The new Bicentennial stamps are colored thus: one-half cent, dark brown; one cent, green; one and one-ha1f cent, light brown; two cent. red; three cent, purple: four cent. warm brown; five cent, blue; six cent, orange; seven cent, black; eight cent, olive green; nine cent. pink: and ten cent, orange.
 Generally the decorative design of the stamps includes the dates 1732-1932 and acanthus scrolls. fluted white columns and arches. Most of the lettering and numerals are in Roman type.
 The one-half cent, one and one half cent, three cent, four cent, and five cent stamps display like nesses derived from originals by Charles Wilson Peale, who painted Washington in many phases of his adult career. The one cent stamp Is from a portrait bust by Jean An toine Houdon. The tw-cent and ten-cent issues are modelled from portraits by Gilbert Stuart, per- haps the most noted of artists who "did" Washington. The six-cent and seven-cent stamps are from works by John Trumbull, and the eight-cent from @ crayon drawing from life by Charles B. J. F. Saint Memin. Another life sketch, on the nine-cent issue, was done by W. Williams.
 A special issue of stamped en- velopes will depict Mount Vernon.

Uncle Rays
 Corner
A LITTLE SATURDAY TALK

I have just finished going over a batch of letters from Corner readers. It does my heart good to read the words which come to me = they help me to know what { is going on in the minds of thou sands of persons.
 One letter in this recent batch is from a man 43 years of age. l think he must be a kindly man, for he speaks of pointing out to our youth the wonders of Nature and science. and giving youth a love for his fellow man."
 Another letter is from a man who tells about a comet he saw more than 60 years ago. He says it could be seen in the morning after sunrise and that it was about the size of the moon, with tail of enormous width and length" He tells me he is 80 years old. l wonder how close he comes to be- ing the oldest reader of the Cor ner. I am sure his spirit is young.
 Of course many of the letters are from boys and girls. Here is one from a 10-year-old girl:
 Dear Uncle Ray: l have sent for all your leaflets except the Sur prise leaflet, and am asking for that one now. I am 10 years old and am in the sixth grade. l showed my Uncle Ray scrapbook to my teacher and she told me that I would get lots of information from it during my school life. She olso told the rest of the room that they were very foolish not to save - the clippings and make scrap book.
 'Dorothy M. Kurt" 1T am glad Dorothy's teacher likes her scrapbook, and I hope other members of the class will join the club.
 Another letter is from a boy who long has been a member or the club. He writes:
 "Dear Uncle Ray: I belong to your club and think it Is great fun to cut out and save every Uncle Ray's Corner after mother and l read 1t. I am beginning my fourth scrapbook. l got the scrapbooks at, the five-and-ten-cents store. ! put the stories in just as they come each day. am 10 years old.
 s.Frederick N. Staten, Jr."
 TO keep the Corner stories ac-- cordine to date Is simple ana essv method. The other method of keepinR a scrapbook - to divide tha hook into sections and to paste the stories in by subject -is ex- uIained in the leaflet telling how to make a scrapbook. Monday - Columbus Mysteries"

STOCK list CLOSES
WEEK WITH RALLY
Most Prominent InduStriaIs
and Utilities Gain From
| to z Points.
BY JOHN L. COOLEY.
Associated Press Financial Writer.

NEW YORK, May 2.-Trading IN
stocks was highly inclusive during most
of today's session, but the list finally
closed the week with q rally which in
the case of most prominent industrials
and utilities ranged from one to two
points. Sales were 100000 shares.
Declines and rallies followed each
other swiftly in the first hour and a
half as bears sought out soft spots.
Selling was particularly directed against
U. S. Steel, which broke l Is to the new
low of 1873, and against American
Can, which dipped three to the new
1881 minimum of 1854. Rails declined
rather easily, especially New YORK cen.
tral, ana were unable to make mucn
Roadway in the late recovery.
The sharp break on Friday left Senti-
ment confused, and there was widely
divergent opinion as to whether the
market would swing into another gen.
eral decline or whether weakness would
tend to be spotty as further dedation
occurred in some Of the more strongly
resistant stocks. Leading issues today
were not unduly upset by the obvious
bear drives against the two nduStrlals
mentioned, and that fact douotleSs
figures in the week end hurry OF cover
ing.
Steel common closed at lisa, up a
point net, but Can was not so success
full and only cut its extreme loss in two.
There were gains of more than point
in General Electric. General Motors,
Union Carbide, American Telephone,
Consolidated Gas and North American,
and only slightly smaller advances IN
Westinghouse, Chrysler, Sears Roebuck,
Standard of New Jersey, Loews' case
and United Corporation. New York
Central reduced its single point decline.
Atchison, Union Pacific, Frisco, New
Haven, Union Pacific and Leh1gh VAL
ley all closed lower, with losses running
up to three points. American smelling
was soft and the preferred lost ok2.
Gillette was helped by the earnings re.
port. Auburn was strong, up 1914
News at the week end offered little
light on the state of business. Steel
operations In the youngstown district
next week will be point lower at AZ
per cent of capacity, which is less than
the average rate of decline for the past
several weeks. Chairman Wei OF Ma

Variations in foreign currency rates
were inconsequential. Sterling ana the
French franc were firm.

ADDITIONAL DECLINES
ARE MADE BY COTTON
Continuation of Selling Movement
Attributed to Both Domestic
and Foreign Sources.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, May "A continuation
of the recent selling movement, which
was again attributed largely to liquida-
ton and seemed to be coming from
both domestic and foreign sources, was
reflected by further declines in cotton
today. July declined to $50, or IA
points net lower, and closed at 9.64 with
the general market closing barely steady
at net declines of to IL points.
