hazard.
1t was estimated between 100000
and $l30,000 will be needed to con-
Struct a building to take its place.
The Arcade building was con-
structed in 1912 with funds OBJ
tanned from 40-year bond issue,
school officials said. The district
thus will be paying for dead
horse" for II years.
After the earthquake of last May,
school officials said, the rear IF
the Arcade building was abandoned
as unsafe. The upper floor was torn
off and new pillars and girders in
stalled in order to strengthen part
OF the front section SO it could be
used as study hall, library, and
a few class rooms.
Members of the school board will
meet next Wednesday night at 7:30
pm. to decide what will be done to
replace the building. 1t was feared
cost of repairs may be as great as
that for a new building Both plans,
however, will be studied.
Superintendent of Schools Guy
Weakley said the study hall and
some classes will be moved into the
cafeteria in the main building. He
will decide by Monday where the
other deposed facilities will be hous-

Dusan-Simovitch, emphasizing Ju-
goslavia's independence and her
desire to live at peace with all her
neighbors indicated clearly that the
nations new regime hoped to make
neutrality the foundation stone of
national policy.
1t seemed doubtful if this concept
of neutrality could be reconciled
with the Axis pact which was sign
ed at Vienna Tuesday by the Jugo-
slav regime bloodlessly ousted in
the early hours of Thursday morn
ing.
The German press and Nazi
spokesmen broke their stunned sill
ence on Jugoslavia Friday to admit
that the coup d'etat was accom-
panied by widespread anti-German
manifestations.
German press reports were filled
with incidents in which German
nationals were inSulted and Ger
man property attacked. The ac-
counts differed only in volume from
those which preceded German moves
into Czechoslovakia and Poland.
Jugoslav troops moved up to the
borders under full mobilization or
ders which were expected shortly
to bring the army to a strength OF
approximately 100000 men. The
temper of the Jugoslav public was
again displayed in ecstatic demon
stratlons when young King Peter
II and the new government rode
through the streets from the royal
palace to the cathedral in Bel
grade for service of Thanksgiving.
Jubilant citizens almost mobbed
British and American diplomats in
the procession and shouted cheers
for the Turkish, Polish, Greek and
Russian emissarieS. The Axis diplo-

but there were no unfriendly ges-
lures.

A compromise maneuver would
throw San Franciscos votes behind
Los Angeles demands on all phases
of reapportionment if only one as

be Kern county, which is scheduled
to get a second assemblyman under
the existing HouSer bill.
Proposed congressional reappor-
