STAND
 KEY TO SOVIET. LEAGUE ENTRY.
By JOSEPH E. sHARKEY

GENEVA, Sept. 6.-The stage IS being set for Russia's entry into the League of Nations, but Poland, one of the principal actors in the drama, may smash the whole show.
 The League assembly meets Sep tember 10. Entry of Russia as a member, it is generally assumed, will hinge on her gaining per- |manent seat in the League Council. In that case, Polish spokesmen say, Poland also will demand a permanent chair, as well as that Russia subscribe to obligations for proper treatment of minority peo- pies.
 The expected difficulty of grant, ing permanent seats in the Council both to the U. s. s. R. and Poland conceivably may serve to block the admission of Russia to the League.
 Unanimity Necessary
 An accepted interpretation of the League covenant is that unanimity

American Liberty League Organizers, Purposes, Cipen
 Analysis by Byron Price
By BYRON PRICE (Chief of Bureau, the Associated Press, Washington.)

There are reasons why organiza- ton of The American Liberty League" got for more than pass ing attention in Washington.
 Ordinarily, the establishment oi one more association at the capi- tai would go unnoticed. There are so many already that their names crowd several pages of the telephone directory Most of them list nationally known figures among their membership. Several have names closely resembling that of the newcomer. 8
 Yet, Washington seemed to sense that the new league hardly was just one of the crowd; that it would be heard from often in the future that in one way or another it might be destined to have a part in the writing of history.

RECORD SCHOOL ]. ATTENDANCE IS
 SEEN FOR U. s,
Thirty-one Million Students
 Expected to Regist- CT in Fall
By ALEXANDER R. GEORGE

WASHINGTON, Sept. 6. The nations educational system, still staggering from the blows of the depression, is getting ready to care for about one-fourth of the coun- try's population this fall.
 With attendances augmented by thousands who in normal times would find compensatory occupa- tions, it is estimated that the en- rolment will reach record-break- ing grand total of more than 31,- 100000 students, some 28,00,000 in the public schools and 5000, 900 in private institutions. The increase over last years attendance is fi- gured to be between 100000 and 100000.
 Government education officials say the brunt of the burden impos- ed by increased enrolment will be borne by the high schools, which already are overcrowded and han dicapped by drastic curtailment of facilities. Moreover, the drought and continued pressure of adverse economic conditions are expected to make 1934-1935 the worst year for the schools in some sections of the country.
 Improvement Forecast
 They believe, however, that on the whole the depression in educa- tion has about reached bottom, that greater stability will be attained in school financing in many states this year and that general im- provement will be noticed a year hence.
 Emery M. Foster, chief statisti- clan of the United States office of education, says the outlook has been frightened by the movement toward restoration and enlarge ment of state aid for schools, by
