BRITAIN, FRANCE
 TO HELP RUSSIA

London, June 7-(UP)-Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain told the House of Commons today that Great Britain and France are ready to give Soviet Russia full military support if she is attacked.
 "We are ready to join with France in giving Russia full military sup- port in the event of action against Russia which would involve her in hostilities with a European power" Chamberlain said.
 Chamberlain declared that it Is not proposed that support of Russia should be confined to aggression on actual Soviet territory" Obviously referring to controver- sial questions of aiding the smaller Baltic states, Chamberlain said There are difficulties to be solved in the cases of states which do not wish to receive guarantees, because they believe these would compromise their neutrality"

That round-the-world flying for the general public has actual ly arrived is shown by special, low-rate life insurance policies just announced.
 The safety of the regular pres ent day airlines is indicated by the fact that insurance rates are as low as $1.40 per 1000 on air lines in the United States or Pan American lines in South Ameri- ca; 5000 for S1000 on Pan Amer ca: $10.00 per S1.000 on Pan Am erican's transatlantic trip; $2.80 on foreign lines across Europe; and $500 per $1.000 on the trans pacific route.

A suitable place to play is the
 right of every child. That peo-
 pie generallf recognize this to be true is shown by the fact that not only cities but towns and vii lages throughout the States have provided supervised playfields flor their children. With con-
