Check-Up On Moose
 Finds Order Sound
Supreme Dictator Busch Reports Net Resources of
 LOO. N. Nearly S27,OOO,OOO
By DONALD .. STEWART


 At . time when American fra ternaiiam ia hard hit by economic conditions. a meeting was called of the Supreme Council of the 6u- preme Lodge, Loyal order Of
 Moose, to take stock of the emer-
 gency confronting the economic world and to study the financial condition of the fraternity. It was held In New York city recently and Henry w. Busch, supreme Dictator, reported as follows; 1-That considering economic conditions the fraternity is in a sounder, more stable situation
 than at any other period in its his- tory.
 Order Is t26.2ee.le0,sO; that the total cash in banks is $2,G36,- 940.94, and that investments and savings accounts total $4.s46.- 9l9.s2.
 s-That during the past ascal year more than 80.OO0 members
 have been added to the rolls of the order through initiation, re-
 instatement and readmission into the ranks.
 4-That the total assets of the fraternity. including all local units. together with Mooseheart, the fra- ternity's child city near Chicago: Moose haven. the home for the aged, near Jacksonville. Fla: the Women of the Moose; the legion of the Moose. and the supreme lodge, amount to the vast sum of
 S43.590,146.27.
 6-That reasonable curtailment has been made in expenses throughout all departments, in- cIuding $105.000 in operating ex- penses at MoOseheart, without retarding the philanthropic work of the Order and in many cases improving the service.
 Recognition of Education Plan At the same time Mr Busch
 called attention to pleasant recog- hilton of the orders educational program evinced by the introduc- ton of two bills into the Ohio legislature by Representative Kasch. One bill provides that be- ginning September the board of trustees of the Ohio Soldiers and Sailors Orphans Home be direct ed to convert the existing school into a combined trade, vocational and high school, with the methods of instruction and subjects taught to be patterned after the routine followed at Moseheart. Illinois, the Loyal Order of Moose home and school for dependent hcildren of deceased members of the frater- nifty.
 The second bill provides sim ilarly for converting Wilberforoe university into a combined trade. vocational and high school. the curriculum also to follow the courses designed by Mooseheart.
 ''The Moose," Supreme Dictator Busch explained, "has grown to a gigantic size. Long ago 1t ceased to be an organization limited in its sphere of influence or circum- scribed in its field of operation. To-day 1t Is a fraternity of more than half a million earnest, sim cere men and women who honest ly and with determination desire to alleviate human woes, especial- ly throuh the three great media of Moosehaven, and the charity service. l am happy to state that the Moose is one of the few fra ternities, I believe, that has been able to show a similar and con- sistent financial balance year after year."
 How definitely the Moose frater- nifty has assumed the proportions of big business and how thor oughiy 1t holds 8 high position in the nations social and philan-

Russians Have
Own Heroic Air
Stunts at Home
Some Are Said Even More
Dangerous Than Ocean
Crossings
BY EUGENE LYONS
limited Press Staff Correspondent

MOSCOW, July 20.-(UP).-
While the worlds attention is
fixed on round-world flights,
Soviet aviators, with about one
sixth of the earth's surface as
their stamping ground, are en-
gagged in heroic flights inside
their own country, few of
which are even more dangerous
than crossing oceans.
AT the very moment that James
Mattern, American flier, was
crossing the Soviet Union, Rus
sian Filler Anatole Alexeyev was
accomplishing the stretch between
Sebastopol on the lack Sea and
Port Igarka, at the mouth of the
Yenesei river beyond the polar
circle.
He did the 10000 kilometers
in IS days without hurry or mis-
haps, although the route was a
brand new one after he left the
beaten track at Krasnoyarsk for
the north. Alexeyev is one OF
the Soviet Unions outstanding
fliers, possessing an Order OF the
Red Banner for seven successful
Arctic flights.
The flight to Igarka was made
in a heavy hydroplane, with a
crew of four. 1t received only
casual mention in the press here !;
indeed, Mattern was accorded
more space, although normally
round-world flights do not stir
much interest here.
At the same time Pilot Levan"
nevsky, who has many laurels on
his brow for difficult flights, I'M
dertook a somewhat different
route from the Far South to the
Far North. Starting at Sebasto-
pol, likewise on a hydroplane
with a crew of four. he headed
for Khabarovsk, after which his
plans will take him to such dan
gerous points as Okhotosk, Nog-
ayevo, Providence Bay and even
tually Wrangel Island.
Besides carrying some supplies
to the colony on Wrangel Island,
now in its fourth year without
contact with the outside world,
Levanevsky will investigate con-
ditions for the Kolima expedition
now alternating in that region
and for the projected expedition
of ice-breakcr Cheliuskin, which
is scheduled to repeat the ST.
biriakov's feat of a northeast
passage from Archangel to the
Pacific.
1t is interesting to note that
the Soviet government, consider.
ing the northeastern section OF
Siberia dangerous. has repeated
ly forbidden American and other
foreign fliers to attempt it. II
has obliged them to follow the

Browns Manager

CHICAGO, July 20.-CUP).-
Bill Killefer is out as manager of
the st. Louis Browns. He tele-
graphed his resignation yesterday
from Washington to President
Phil Ball. checked out of the
Wardman-Park hotel and temper
arily severed his connections with
the baseball world.
1t is the second managerial
change in the American league
within six weeks. On June Q Wal
ter Johnson succeeded Roger

1t is said that two, and possibly
three other changes are not so far
away. BY the process of elimina-
