were reported recovered. accord
ing to the United States attorney

The indictment was returned
yesterday by a District grand jury,
which finished three months of

terfeiting case, three were ac-
cused of making and forging coun-
terfeit bills and two others were

ment of having counterfeit bills in

those named in the indictment.
Federal agents were quoted at
the United States attorneys Office
as stating that plates for manu-
featuring the bogus bills were
found in an Office in the 2200 block
of M street NV. and that bogus
bills were manufactured there
after regular employees had gone
for the day.

ported they found some $4,000
in counterfeit bills in an auto
mobile Creighton allegedly had

94,268 Students
Enrolled in DC.
Public Schools
Figure, ;, ,402 Above
Lost Years, Believed
,AII-Time Record

A total of 94,26S pupils are en-
rolled in Washington's public
schools, apparently an all-time
record, B. L. Bestor. school board
statistician, announced today.
The figure is 3,402 larger than
last years enrolment figure.
Mr.. Bestor's Office searched en-
rollment records going back 20
years and found a previous peak
figure of 1888 on March 9. 1899.
Unable Immediately to dig out Of
the basment the records for the
years before 1929, he was chary
OF stating categorically that this
years enrolment is the largest on
record.
High School Rolls Drop.
The current figures, which are
for September 20, with comparable
figures for September 30, 1948.
show a substantial increase in ele-
mentary school enrolment, slight
increase in the junior high
schools and drop of 874 in the
high schools.
The reasons for the elementary
school increase is the high wartime
birth rate and changes in entrance
requirements for kindergarten and
first grade pupils. AS step in the
ultimate abolition of midyear pro-
motions throughout the system,
about, half the children who would
have enrolled initially next Febru-
ary were permitted to enter school
this fall.
The number of white pupils in
the schools is 1859, an increase
of 897, while there are 45,629 COL
ored pupils. or 2,505 more than
last year.
The 94.268 total compares with
the enrolment of 89,921 on Sep
tember 13, the second day of the
current school year.
Summary of Enrolment.
Here is a summary of the en-
rollment for the entire District
school system:

thesis that capitalism is a single
world-system fatally torn by con-
tradlctions which can be cured
only by a consciously directed So
clallst revolution. Granted these
assumptions, the determination to
use the fOothOld won in the Soviet
Union as a base for world revolu-
ton, is elementary common sense. -
HlstOricus states that one Of
Stains favOrite passages was writ
ten by Lenin, and goes as follows:
we live ... not only in a state
but in system of states, and the
existence of the Soviet Republic
side by side with the imperialist
state for long time is unthink-
able, In the end either one or the
other will conquer. And until that
end comes, a series of the most
terrible collisions between the So
Wet Republic and the bourgeois
states is inevitable" Stain quoted
this bith of prophecy in an article
or his own, and commented: Clear,
one would think"
The substance of Historicus'
study is summed up in these words:
The ultimate resort to armed force
is logical development of the
feminist thesis that only con-
sciously-led revolution can drive
the capitalists from the stage of
history. The assumption that the
world has been fundamentally di-
vided into two camps since the Oc-
tOber Revolution runs through
Stalin's writings from his early
days and is grounded in his Marx
ist philosophy" In other words,
he has. never ceased preaching the
hard gospel of SOviet-directed war
and revolution to the Russian
HistOricus' article is important
as a contribution to modern his
tory, 1t is also important as a
guide to the way this and other
Western nations should regard pro-
nOuncements of policy from Stain
and the other top communists. The
obvious fact is that Stalinist tactics
call for building up hatred and dis
trust of the capitalist world at
home, even as an attempt is made
to quiet the fears and suspicious
Of the people in other lands.

Safety Council Notes

BE a winter winner agoins,
traffic accidents!"
That's the advice of the .Dolo
ware Safety Council when drivin 6,
in rain, sleet, or snow during The
heavy storm season. With more
vehicles on the street TODAY than
ever before, the Council cautions
every mOtOrist to be esDecialIv
alert at the wheel and have Dronar
equipment to cope with winter CON
ditions. According to the Nation
al Safety Council, accident rates
increase from "a to SO per cent
during ice and snow months.
The Council urges all driving
members of this state to study en-
dOrsed methods of reducing acci-
dents and fatalities caused bv moor
visibility and other hazards of win
ter storms.
The National Safety Council
through testing and scientific re-
search, has prepared the following
rules designed to help all of ms
win the battle against the traffic
hazards of winter:
1. Get the feel" of the road sur-
face when you start out. Test brak-
ing and acceleratiOn. ability when
no other cars are near and before
you are faced with an emergencv
2. Reduce speed when road sur
faces are snowy or icy so you can
stop in time. Remember at Onlv
20 miles per hour it takes 4 to p
times more distance to stop on
snow or ice than on dry concrete.
3. Keep windshield and win
dOws clear of snow and ice on the
fog and frost inside. Check.
your defrOster and wipers.
4. Use tire chains when snow
or ice conditions prevail. They re-

az extended intervals. Marshal
Stain has met and talked with for
elgn interviewers. Among the Am
orleans so favored have been ROy
Howard, Elliott Roosevelt, Harold
Stassen, and Walter Durantv. In
every case, Stalin's remarks for
foreign publication have been of
an amiable and conciliatory char
acter. Their basic theme has been
an expressed desire for peace. but
tressed by the statement that COM
munism and capitalism should be
able to exist together in the world
in harmony.
These interviews have always
been rappily received in this conn
try and elsewhere. They seemed to
contain grounds for an optimistic
estimate Of future world trends
Unfortunately, however, there is
an amazing contradiction in what
Stain has said for foreign con-
sumption, and what he has told
the millions Of Russians he rules
at home.
That contradiction is the subject
