Students View
Russian Embassy
Washington (U.R) Visiting
high school students were admit
ted to the Russian embassy in
Washington because of their cur
iosity. 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.
