the pioneer activity is in sport
events. A number of the stu
] dents go to summer camps at
state expense where trained in
structors work with them in a
number of projects such as hik-
ing, winning, competitive
sports, and labor" :" Most pion-
eers are expected to participate
in labor" programs. In these
programs they plant trees and
shrubs, dig bitches, and do othey
work of this sort for the Soviet.
In one of the pioneer palaces
we were shown plantarium
which, while on smaller scale
than the Franklin Institute Plan
etarium in Philadelphia, never
theless served we'll for instruc-
ton purposes. The teacher gave
us her regular talk" which she
used for older students. The ad-
ministrators present were i'm
pressed with the effectiveness of
her presentation. She showed us
the various stars in the skies,
told us something about how
they moved throughout the sea-
sons, talked about dawn and
dark and what it meant, how the
earth revolved, and explained
something about the Russian
Sputnik. She ended her presen-
tation by showing us a short
movie of what it would be like
to approach the moon Gin a Sow
let rocket"
The school administrators
from the United States, in dis
cussing among themselves the
effect of the pioneer palaces,
felt that the equivalent of the
Soviet program was carried on
in the United States not by one
institution-the state, as in Rus
sia-but by number of institu-
tions. These institutions include:
boy scouts, girl scouts, churches,
family, school, and organizations
such as the Silver Eagles in
Smyrna. The school administra-
tors present agreed that to them
the way it was carried out in the
United States was superior to
that of the Soviet Union. Good
communities in the U.S.A. show
real interest in boys and girls
and are willing to put out the
time, effort, and funds to pro-
vide winter and summer pro-
grams of recreation for boys and
girls of the community. 1t is re-
grettable that in many places in
the United States little is done
in the way of after-school, week
end, and summer recreational
programs. 1t is regrettable that
in the United States, even when
social and church organizations
do provide weekend and sum-
mer programs for boys and girls,
many boys and girls fail to take
advantage of such programs.
believe ! should mention that
while we were in the city OF
Leningrad (often called "The
City of Museums'') we visited a
number of museums. While Wis
iting these museums, we saw a
number of students. These stu
dents were travelling on field
trips from the schools and the
pioneer palaces. AS they went
through the museums they were

Ones thoughts turn to the fact
that there are numerous such in

philosophy of the Civil Aero
nautics Board.
Declaring that there is more
competition among airlines
than in most industries, he said
that, under such circum- =
stances, competition should be
allowed to shape rates for air
service.
THE role of the Civil Aero
nauticS Board, under our pre-
vailing airline system should
be to prevent public hardship
on the few unimportant routes
where monopoly may still ex-
lst and to avoid uneconomically
low charges where cuthroat
competition may exist.
Between the two limits, the
board should allow rates to
rise and fall in accordance with
the forces of competition"
He also said that lust now,

Mr.. Pyles is a strong advo-
cate of national representa-

would mean more money for

He pointed out that Congress
at present is giving out twice
as much money for running the
District of Columbia as it did
in the 20s.
Considering the devaluation
of the dollar, he asserted,
Washington is not getting from
Congress any more actual pur-

Dupos OutcIosses
Empire Champion
In Tooth Fight

SYDNEY, Australia, April u
(AP) -Welterweight contender
Ralph Dupas of New Orleans
celebrated his Tooth pro fight
last night by outclaSsing
British Empire Welterweight
Champion George Barnes in a
l2-round bout.
A crowd of about 10000 in
Sydney Stadium saw the fast
punching, elusive American win
every round. He bewildered the
33-year-old Australian with
his footwork and variety of
punches.
The 24-year-old invader, not
rated much of a puncher on
his home grounds, even had
Barnes in trouble several times.
Barnes rarely was able to
land a solid blow as Dupas
moved in and out, and espe-
cially in the sixth round the
clever American drew cheers
for his defensive maneuvering.
DupaS weighed 14534 and
Barnes 146A. 1t was a nom
title bout since only a boxer
from the British Empire can
hold the championship.
The fight crossed about
$25, 900.

ORLANDO, Fla, April IL
(SpeciaD The Senators, clos

are assured of nothing worse
than an even break in four
spring warmups with the White
Sox, whom they helped win
their first pennant in 40 years
last season.

it three out of four this after

that money, for Roy Sievers.

They exploded five hits in a

after the White Sox had
laboriously deadlocked the
score at 3-3, Wynn's old team
ganged up on the veteran in
the eighth, scoring four times.
Mincher and Battey were
prominent in both of the on
slaughts. In the first rally,
Mincher singled and Battey

Orioles Tie
for

BY the Associated Press

With the aid of the Senators,
the Baltimore Orioles have
pulled into a tie with the Chi
cago White Sox at the top of
the American League exhibi-
ton standings with a 1912
record.
While Washington was beat
ing Early Wynn, 7-3, yester-
day, the Orioles defeated Kan
Sas City for the fifth straight
time, So.
Meanwhile, Boston whipped
the Yankees, 81, and Cleve-
land edged Detroit, 5-3, in II
innings.
/ Brooks Robinson and Gene
Green homered for the Orioles
to back Arnold Portocarrero's
seven innings of shutout pitch
ing. Portocarrero struck out
two, walked two and allowed
only one AS base runner to
reach third in his best perform
ance of the spring. Robinson
hit a pair of singles besides
his homer.
Rocky Colavito raped his
second double in the 18th in
ming to drive in Pinch-runner
Carroll Hardy for the deciding
run against the Tigers. Cleve-
land starter Jim Perry gave up
only one run in six innings be-
fore Detroit tied it with two
in the ninth against Jim Grant.
Jerry Casale and Mike For
nieleS checked the Yankees on
three hits after the Red Sox
had put it out of reach in the
first inning with three unearned
runs eff Whitley Ford. Casale
yielded two hits in six innings,
including a Mickey Mantle
round-tripper.
