National Youth Administration

Wash ngton D. C.-More than
81. 600 colored high school and col
lege students received aid IN con
tinuing their studies from the Ma
t.onal Youth Administration dur
ng the past school year, Mrs. Mary
Mcleod Bethune, director of the
Division Of Negro Affairs of the
NYA, reports. This figure repre-
SCENTS an Increase Of more than
1000 over last years total, and is
vet incomplete because of lack Of
data from states making no racial
breakdown in their reports.
Practically every Nero college in
the country participated in the
program, according to Mrs. Be
hume. Parttime jobs were furn-
ished for 6.982 undergraduates and
<sG graduate students, many Of the
latter group benefifting from the
special fund set aside for colored
students seeking higher degrees

Today we have a two- none spec fal.
 Smith and Smythe were partners of Boatbuliders, Incorporated. They were very good workmen and their reputation had spread widely. They had each finished boat which they had been working on. Smith was Bpeedier builedr than Smythe and handled all the rush orders while Smythe handled those which re- quired more detail. Smith had fin ished his boat in two months while Smythe took six months for the same type of boat One day a sealed order came for third boat of the type and both Smith and Smythe worked on it. How long did 1t take them to finis hit, working togeth- CT?
 When the boat was finished it was necessary to notify by mail the man who ordered it. Smith went to the postoffice and asked for a cer- tain number of two-cent stamps end ten times as many one-cent cent stamps and the balance of a one-dollar bill in five-cent stamps How many of each did he get?

THE spacious salons of the mag
 nificent Schoenbrunn Palace in Vienna first attracted musical genius that, even from the 18th century, has made that Austrian capital the musical center of the world. Now Vienna celebrates the 70th anniversary of ''The Blue Danube Waltz," famous master. piece of Johann Strauss, the younger.
 The ambition of many musical artists has long been to work in the city that once housed such masters as Mozart. Schubert, Brahms. Beethoven, and Haydn. Mozart was 6 years old when he played in Schoenbrunn Palace by invitation of the Empress Maria Theresa. Schubert was born there; so was Fritz Kreisler. Brahms and Beethoven lived there more than 30 years; Schumann and other great musicians for shorter periods.
 Since the World War, the gaiety of Vienna has subsided somewhat. Now there is a new interest. par.

what he would have done anywhere
else.
And with that simple gesture, he
threw, for one moment, into clear
white light, the issues of peace and
war, nationalism and International

talitarianism. Not that he knew that
he was doing anything Of the kind.
The gesture was too inspired for any

But it dit it. and the symbol of its
confusion lies in Unter den Linden,

Only q few men, to be sure, but in
them was the symbol Of the whole.
For to move the tiniest cog in the ma
chine Is to demonstrate that 1t can
be touched by infidel hands, and thus
to challenge the whole organization
and system. How did he do it? BY
acting in a completely normal, civilian
way. He wanted to lay wreath in
tribute to the unhappy German dead.
He asked permission. The permission
was granted. Wreath-laying on the
dead is part of the military routine
between wars.
Besides, he wore uniform. To be
sure it was the uniform of the Ameri-
can Legion, the uniform Of the de-
mobilized, the habilinents Of the SOL
dier who has turned to normalcy. But
a uniform is a uniform, apparently,
to the military mind. The permission
was granted.
And now the permission itself
started automatic forces. 1t moved
the robot machine. The guards goose
stepped out. The hollow ceremonial
was staged. And it was with guard
of honor that lizzie made his gesture,
with which he cried aloud to the Ger

Prince Teh, Budding

Over to Japan.

and Japan for seven years,
Prince Teh. budding Genghis
Khan of Inner Mongolia, leads his
Mongol hordes over to Japan, pro-
claiming Nippon the only bulwark
against Communism and ~the only
stabilizing force in Asia"
At Kuisui, Japanese officials super
wise the birth of Mongokuo, little play
mate for Manchukuo, with an invoca-
ton of Genghis Khan. 1t Is made
clear that little Mongo and Manchu
join the family of nations entirely on
their own account, and with nothing
more than loving friendship from
Japan, which Is pleased to see them
break away from tyrannical China.
Kuisui, the ancient Mongol-C Chinese
trading center, will be the capital.
Just last August, Chang Kai-shek
had letter from Prince Teh fer
vently assuring him Of his undying
friendship and loyal support. Just q
few days ago Nine. Chang Kai-shek
said the Japanese were trying TO buy
up Mongol leaders, but that Prince
Teh was loyal to China. But, for the
last few months, the Japanese Army
has appeared to be running Mongolia
and there seemed to be little doubt
Of the outcome.
Prince Teh is the hereditary Mongol
Emperor, whose Mongol name is
Demchukdongrab. He is young, ag-
gressive and clever. and since 1880
has been deploying armies around his
borders, trying to mobilize enough
strength to talk business with either
Japan or China. The Nanking govern
ment recognized his rule of the crude
tribal government at Chapsar. He
sheltered his ragged army in felt huts
and lived off the countryside. Flirt-
ing with Japan, he lost the allegiance
of large section Of his troops, and
last December the Chinese gave his
outfit thorough drubbing at Pailing-
miao.
The new near-sovereign state Of
Mongokuo, now making its debut in
troubled world, is about the size OF
the State of Ohio. and Is populated
mainly by shaggy Mongol ponies and
100000 Mongolians, also shaggy.

state between Russia's Outer Nom

Mr.. Schenken had opened anything

the hearts first. and, seeing 4 bad

take the f1nesse in spades.
However, the club opening had
robbed him Of this extra chance, and

holding four hearts, 80 that he WAS
