KING CAROL TO
 FACE TEST IN
 RUMANIAN VOTE
Country to Elect a New
 Parliament Tomorrow

Bucharest. = (UP) = Rumania will go to the polls to-morrow to elect 387 members of the lower chamber of parliament in accord ance with King Carols decree dis solving that body on the appoint ment early in June of Dr Alexan- der Vajda- a-Voevod to form a na- tional peasants government sue ceeding the government of Dr N. Jorga, national democrat.
 The total vote cast at the last election, June 1, 1882, was 2,927,- 900 out of a registration of 4,000,- 900.
 Only men 21 years or over may vote. Women have no franchise, nor does the army (200,000 mem . Tomorrow's voting is important in that it will be test of strength of Carols position, which has been made increasingly difficult by the depression of the past two years.
 Since the national peasant party under -Voevod, working with a coalition of Liberals and other smaller parties is expected to be returned with working majority, the interesting question Is whether ex-Premier Julius Maniu. president of the party, will return to it's ac- tive management.
 Should Maniu choose to assume open leadership of his party. or even direct it from the back ground. the political situation cas- fly might come to showdown be- tween the two men and prove a severe test for the influence and position of King Carol as opposed to that of the parliament.

CIRCLE HUNTE R FINDS ANCIENT
 MAYAN CITY
Evidences of Old Civiliza= ton Found in
 Guatemala

San Francisco.-Like to chew gum?
 Go right ahead--the archaeolo- gists are all for it, too, and the art of crunching q healthy molar in a tasty bit of chicle soon may become a sort of pleasant duty, a sign that you're willing to do your bit for the advancement of civili- zation.
 Elevation of gum chewing to such comparative heights may seem out of line with past teach ings of etiquette-but there was 0 time when tomatoes were re- garded as poisonous, pepper was dessert, and spinach was less highly valued than dandelion greens.
 Chewing gum owes its rise in intellectual esteem to the fact that it was the indirect cause of one of the most valuable archae- ological discoveries in recent months, deep in the jungles of Guatemala.
 A chicle hunter looking for more chicle for gum hungry Americans, was responsible for the find, Dr John c. Merriam, president. of the Carnegie Insti- tuition, reported. The chiclero, whose business it is to locate the chico sapote, tree from wrich the elastic ingredient of chewing gum is derived, came upon sec- ton of the jungle which was laid out in regular avenues and sec tions, with trees following the lines of ancient walls and creep CTS growing over pyramids and stone shafts.
 Investigation revealed an an- cient Mayan city, Calakmul, ap- parently once the center of much of the Mayan civilization. with splendid plazas, broad streets and imposing buildings. The civic and religious quarters of the city alone were a mile and quarter in length by half a mile in width, Dr Merriam reported.
 Dr Merriam is n former dean of faculties at the University of California, and was once presi- dent of the American Paleontol- ogy society.

RUSSIANS WIN
 PRAISE FROM

Speed of Green Workers Gets the Experts
 COnmendatiOn
By EUGENE LYONS

Dnieperstroi, N. S. s. R.-(UP) --The completion of the Dnieper- sstroi hydro-electric power station dn better than scheduled time is proof that Russians, despite their Technical iIliteracy, can eventually be turned into effective industrial workers.
 { That is the consensus of opinion among American engineers, who worked for years at every stage of the gigantic job here.
 Under American conditions, the Workers might have been reduced fby half. But in few instances Americans expressed amazement at 1he speed with which absolutely raw peasant labor was trained for &killed and semi-skilled tasks in Connection with the Dnfeperstroi Undertakings. Henry B. Wilkin- Fcn, of Washington. D. C., for five Nears at this point in behalf of the Hugh Cooper Engineering firm, spoke in admiration of the Russian workers.
 Y The experience acquired by tens Of thousands of Russians on this Construction will be applied in fur sther, even more ambitious projects of the same type. Plans are being hurriedly completed for Volgastroi, Three tremendous stations on the VoIga river. The entire human or Kanization will be transferred from the Dnieper to the Volga, with Professor Winter, who headed the work here, in charge of the new effort.
 N Although officially "completed," Ahe Dnieper station Is not yet in full working condition. Only five of the nine rbine-generators are iHniDhed, so that of the eventual total of 756,0O0 horsepower only sA2O,000 are as yet available. The basic job, though, the building of the great dam which curves grace fuily across the river, Is ended.

ANGLER PINCHOT URGES SQUARE
 DEAL FOR BASS
w arms Fishermen O1 Catching Them During
 Spawning Time
By CLIFFORD PINCHOT Governor of PennsYlvania

Harrisburg, Pa. (UP)-In great part, the success of the bass re- stocking program rests with fisher men. Many anglers are now fish ing for warm water species-catfish perch, sunfish and fallfish. Live bait, particularly angleworms, is used and a great many black bass are taken. And this is most un- fortunate.
 Early June is spawning time in Pennsylvania lakes and streams for the bass, gamest fish of our inland waters. Jealously guarding the nest, a mound of pebbles, the male does not hesitate to strike at any object that may approach. So strong is it's paternal instinct that it will attack and drive away a carp four times it's size, or batter a spoon that map drop near its nest. It the adult Is taken from the nest. the eggs will smother from silt that may wash over them. or the young became the prey of other fishes.
 When unintentionally caught, the fish should be handled care- fully, and always with wet hands. And be very gentle when you take out the hook. I break off the barb myself when start fishing and then I seldom have to hurt the fish at all.
 Unless they have swallowed the lure and are wounded severely, bass recover quickly when he turn ed to the water. If sportsmen re- lease them immediately after they are caught. hundreds of thousands of young fish will be saved. For better fishing. natural restocking Of the waters in Pennsylvania is of vital importance.
 Pennsylvania Board and Fish commissioners during recent years has made intensive efforts to create better fishing for black bass. In 1881. over 387.000 bass, ranging in length from to 2 inches, were re- leased in warmer waters of the Commonwealth.

MEXICAN BOXER
GETS DECISION
IN OLYMPIC BOUT

LOS ANGELES. May 4.-(UP)-
Giving Lew Farber of New York a
terrible body punching in the clos
ing rounds, Baby Arizmendi, Mex
lean. staged a great finish to get
the decision in a l0-round headline
bout at the Olympic auditorium last
night.
The New Yorker was no pushover
for the Mexican idol, who by his
victory, the 200th in POI fights, took
another important step toward ma
tional recognition-perhaps a title.
For five rounds the fighting was
fairly close, although Arizmendi
was credited at the close with VIM
ming all but the first, which went
TO FaIber. and the fifth, which was
even. After the fourth round it
appeared to be a slugging match to
the eighth, when Arizmendi opened
up a vicious attack. He took many
a nard punch. however, to put
across his own attack.
Arizmendi tipped the scales al
