Attempt to Gain Liberty
After Conviction.

First attempt of Harold Herbert
Schroeder, convicted slayer of a
man on the High School road May
80, 1880, to obtain his freedom after
serving his minimum sentence,
failed Tuesday when parole was
denied by Indiana prison trustees.

tary manslaughter and received
a sentence of two to twenty-one
years. The body was found May 80,
1890, burned beyond recognition in
Schroeder's flaming automobile, on
the High School road
Schroeder's defense was that the
man, hitch hiker. had been killed
in an accident while riding in the
automobile, and that fright caused
him to burn the body 1t was found
that the man had been stabbed to
death. -
Parole also was denied to Max
Kos, who is serving one to ten years
for involuntary manslaughter. Kos

The squadron leader, the marquis
of Clydesdale, the expeditions chief
pilot, and Lieutenant Colonel Stew
art William w. Blackmer, observer,
we're in one plane; Flight Lieuten-
ant D. F. Mcintyre of the Royal Air
Force, and S. R. Bennett, motion
picture cameraman, were in the
other. The flight was sponsored by
Lady Houston, widow of London
shipping magnate.
The planes, equipped with huge
cylinders of oxygen that allowed the
motors to function and the men to
breathe in the rarified atmosphere,
reached a maximum altitude of 35,-
900 feet, approXimately 5000 feet
above Everest, which rears its peak
29141 feet.
No Record Flight Planned
It was not believed that the eX-
petition would make second
fight over the peak.
The expedition had agreed to the
stipulation of the Maharajah of
Nepal when permission for the
flight was granted, that only one
attempt would be made.
The growing unrest of Nepalese
authorities which threatened the
expedition with loss of its permits
sion for the flight, caused Mondays
unexpected but successful attempt.
The Nepalese, who worship
Everest as super being, feared the
fight would offend the dieties living
on it's crest, causing their wrath to
be Embossed on the populace around
the base.
The two planes hoped from the
Lalbalu airdrome, seven miles from
here. Two hours and forty-flve
minutes later, the planes returned
and the airmen alighted, enthu-
siastically announcing that they
had conquered Everest.
5000 Feet Above Summit
Lord Clydesdaie reported they flew
5000 feet above the summit of Mt.
Everest, lying far down and dwarfed
below this successful attack by man
and machine on its heretofore I'M
sullied record.
Starting in favorable weather
they kept on despite gales at high
attitudes which threatened to toss
them into the gigantic crevasses of
the Himalayan peaks, to certain
death, and flew over the snow
capped peak of Mt. Everest.
Their success brought elation to
members of the expedition based
here at Purnea, and headed by Air
Commodore Peregrin Forbes M. Eel

DELANO REPORT
HITS SLUMS

New legislation to strengthen
existing restrictions against the
use of unfit and insanitary build
ings will be needed to bring about
effective slum clearance locally,
in the opinion of Frederic A.
Delano, civic housing chairman,
who has made a report to the
Public Works Administration on
slum clearance proposals in
Washington.
Too many Washington dwellings
are dilapidated and unsafe, fire
traps and disease breeders,
Delano's report said, and laws
comparable to those regulating
new buildings, it was intimated,.
would abolish them.
Delano urges reasonable law
and efficient enforcement.

SOVIETS ON PARADE

To see the new picture at the Ca
meo "SovietS on Parade" is to I'M
derstand why such a sheet, for in
stance, as Abe Cahans soeial-fascist
Jewish Daily Forward comes out with
the vail that it is Soviet propaganda
1t is quite in keeping with the role
of social-fsscist leaders that they
should try to incite the censors who
butcher films in behalf of American
imperialism to prohibit a picture of
socialist construction in its triumph
ant march in the Soviet Union that
stands in such sharp contrast to the
decaying capitalist world.
1t is also not strange that the kept
press should complain that there is
too much marching of the Red Army,
too much military display, because
in the film as shown at the Cameo
there is seen, not the automaton
forces of imperialism, but the en-
thusiastic, happy and at the same
time maryellously trained soldiers OF
the workers and peasants army.
Overshadowing everything else in
the film are the pictures of the giant

where there was before only desolate
waste, and being operated to full
capacity is certainly salutary COM
mentary upon the industrial life OF

gering refutation of such pen Wallets
of gutter journalism as Isaad Don
Levine and VIII Durant are these
industrial achievements! Equally in
spring is the filming OF the collective
farms.
The one shortening is the all too
inadequate showing of the leaders of
the Soviet government and of the
Communist Party of the Soviet
Union in action. We suspect that Mr.
Cahan's objections were shared by
the censors and that there occurred
