The group had toured the city and viewed historical sites. One night as they were passing the Soviet legation not on their list of "places to visit" t h e temptation to see what was be yond the blinds were too milch. They were trying to peer through the blinds when an em bassy employee came to the door. The students said they would "like to come in and see the embassy." The unexpected request apparently so surprised the doorman that "he didn't seem to know what to say to us," said Enid Horvitz, a Prov idence (R. I.) high school senior "Finally he told us that if we would come back in the mor ning about nine o'clock he would let us know," she said. The next morning the group appeared at the door and after some delay were admitted to a room where "there were a lot books and pamphlets" and they could take "anything" they wanted "without payment." Later they were escorted up stairs where they were shown huge paintings of Stalin and Lenin "15 feet, probably 20" other mementos to the Red leaders, and the banquet and reception rooms. Though their tour was not accompanied by an Communist sales talk, Miss Horvitz said that they "gave us so much ma terial that was full of propa ganda" that "they probably though that was enough." NO PAY FOR MUMPS St. Louis (U.R) The board of education here holds that a school teacher's mumps can't be classed as an occupational dis ease. Mrs. Eleanor N. Gatsch had claimed mumps caught while teaching grade school pu pils caused her to lose several days' pay. The board ruled there was no way to determine if the illness was due to contact with pupils "in the line of duty." At 40 miles an hour, automo biles in 1930 averaged 15 miles to the gallon. Twenty years lat er the average is just under 20 miles to the gallon.
