The Bluffs continued their serious
threat for first place Monday night
by trouncing Dallas, II : 3. The Bluffs
sailed the game down In the first

man in the Buff lineup hit safely
at least once and Mueller got three
hits in four times at bat.
Galveston turned loose q barrage
of two-base hits in the fifth inning

and the BUGS kept up the pace with
the Bluffs. Jack Jakucki held the
Gates to seven hits before w1ldneSs

Oklahoma City's narrow lead was

Brillheart for nine hits, including
a triple and three doubles. while the
Indians got ii safe ones, three OF

A CONCENTRATED drive TO
complete sale Of Kiwanis-sponsored
bonds, to be used In equipping
Tucker Field for night football,
got under way Tuesday with Robin
Pate, back from a vacation at the
beach, in charge.
The Kiwanis are selling 40 SO
bonds In the current campaign. The
bonds mature In five years and do
not bear interest. Sixty percent Of
the net gate receipts at Tucker
Field win be set aside to retire the
issue.
This undertaking Is purely a civic
matter In which football fans and
other friends OF the school system
are being given an opportunity to
aid materially In sponsoring good
football. II you would like TO see
football come back and II you
would like to see better athletics In
the local high school system you
can do your part by purchasing one
or more Of these bonds.
Pate frankly Is disappointed IN
progress Of the sale to date. There
are many firms here which sh|uld
give the schoolboys a boost, he
says, and points out that only q
few firms have purchased the
bonds. Up to Tuesday only 70 OF
the 30 bonds had been sold out
right for cash. Forty-one others
have indicated that they viii pur-
chase bonds sometime In the near
future. That leaves a total OF 81
bonds to be sold before the cam
paign Is closed out.
PATE WAS to begin the concen-
trated drive Tuesday by calling on
o. standing firms which have not
purchased the baby bonds. He
feels reasonably confident that the
81 remaining bonds can be sold
within a week. 1T is largely a
matter OF having the fans realize
that this Is not a business deal;
that It is civic movement worthy
OF support. It Is movement that
will bring football back up TO an
approximation OF its old standards

forced to liquidate by any state banking department.
 The Federal Credit Union Law has given tremendous impetus to the development of credit unions. It is probable that there will be some 2,000 of them organized dur ing the present year.
 Q. MT Moran, from what you have said so far, take it that you believe that the continued devel- opment of credit unions is going to add materially to the prosperity of the country?
 MT Moran: I think that there can be no doubt about that. It is a we'll known fact that upwards of 80 per cent of everything that is manufactured or produced from the soil in this country is bought in normal times by men and women who earn $35 a week and less. Ob- viously the buying power of the workers dollars is 8 primary con- sideration in any plan of recovery. Now every form of usury, every form of high-rate lending, whether it is legal or illegal, impairs the buying power of the workers dol

Commissioners Noonan dismissed the claim of Mrs Vaitkauskas, based on the death of her husband, Joseph, October 12. 1884 and the appeal followed.
 The, finding was. handed down April 13, 1884. Mrs Vaitkauskas claimed her husband, caster in the employe of the respondent, died as a result of a disease con- tracted while in the, course of his employment. The cause of death is given in the finding as agranu- locytosis and is not held. to have been connected with the mans em- ployment. Attorney Vincent A. Miller represented the claimant.

Notwithstanding protests laid before Rotary clubs throughout the nation during the past few days on the scheduled convention to be held this year in Mexico City, the local organization is planning to send two delegates it was learned today. Religious leaders in many communities are understood to be strongly opposed to the city chos- en for the convention on the grounds that it lends moral sup port" to religious persecution in Mexico.
 Members of the Catholic and Episcopal clergy in cities where there are Rotary clubs, as we'll as district governors of the organiza- ton have received circulars urging that they join in national pro- test. The circulars have been sent by Rev Anselm M. Keefe, O. Praem, rector of St Norbert col lege in Wisconsin, presumably to every club in the United States,

The only answer to the problem is to furn- fsh better credit facilities so that it will be unnecessary for the small borrower to patronize a high-rate lender. That is the purpose of the Credit Union. And in helping to solve that problem the Credit Un- ion will add materially to the national prosperity.

 It was explained that the club finances the delegation in part. paying expenses of transportation, hotel accommodations and the like in the event that one member at tends the session; but that if two delegates are sent the club only pays. half of the total expense.

BOARD
CHECKS RED
TEXTBOOKS
Volumes to Be Read
At Once BY Group
Under Maurer

With teachers and school Off
cials given the authority, tenn.
porarily at least, to discuss Com
muniSm in the schools, a commit
tee Of the Board of Education was
appointed today to make a thor
ough study Of textbooks now in
use in the District schools.
Several of the books as well as
others on a recommended" read
ing list are declared by critics to
be pro7Soviet.
Mrs. Henry Grattan Doyle, pres
ident Of the board, appointed a
committee of three to study three
textbooks and eight suggested
reading" books, which the Fedora
ton of Citizens Associations has
asked be eliminated from use in
the schools because they both
praise and advocate Communism.
The committee appointed by
Mrs. Doyle is made up Of
Robert A. Maurer, chairman;
Mrs. Philip Sidney Smith and
DR.. j. Hayden johnson.
Books Called For
Mr.. Maurer Immediately re-
quested Charles Degges. secretary
of the board, to equip all three
members of tie committee with
the IL books attacked by the
federation. They were named in
a brief presented to the board yes
terday by George E. Sullivan, rep
resenting the executive commit
tee Of the federation.
Each member of the committee
will be instructed by Mr.. Maurer
to peruSe the books thoroughly
and when this has been COM
pleted, the committee will meet
and report to the full board.
Mr.. Sullivan pointed to what
he described as atheistic and i'm
moral principles of communism
as outlined in the suggested read
ing list.
"It is noteworthy" he said,
"that Prof. Becker (who is shown
by the records of the Congress
sional Library to be well-known
communistic writer, with many
such books to his credit or dis
credit carefully refrained from
including in his recommended
selected readings any of the
many published books about COM
munism which show what it really
is, including its evil and atrocious
aims and purposes"
Text books singled out by Mr..
Sullivan are can Introduction to
American Civilization" by Harold
Rugg and Changing Civilization
in the Modern World" by the
same author, in use in the ninth
grade, and Becker's Modern
History" used in the tenth grade.
BalIOu Prepares Affidavits
The board authorized DR.. Frank
w. Ballou, superintendent of
SchOOlS, TO set up Cne machinery
for preparing affidavits for all Of
ficials, teachers and other school
employees to sign, affirming that
they have neither taught nor ad-
vocated Communism "in the
schools or elsewhere" before they
can receive their salaries.
DR.. Ballou issued a statement
in which he said school employees
are to be guided by the opinion Of
Corporation Counsel E. Barrett
Prettyman, which permits the pre-
sentation of factual information
on Communism provided the doc
trine is not advocated.
The superintendent said that
on the basis of this opinion and
the subsequent action of the
school board sustaining the Cor
poration Counsel he will sign the
affidavit without any mental
reservation whatsoever"
