Tax burdens, declared Gov.

ave become a menace to the sta-
ility of government. He urged that
he states assist in the simplifica-
ion and unification of local pout-
cal units so they will become more
esponsive to the public will.
Would Cut Local Tax.
Deal tax relief, in the opinion of
xov. Woodring, must be sought
rough a -reduction in local taxes.
Ie suggested states should adopt a
olicy of limiting the maximum tax
evy or maximum per capita ex-
enditure of local units.
Too much state control he said in
is prepared speech, was responsi-
le in many instances for high local
axes.

HOMELESS YDTHS
Soviet Claims Less Than 4,500
Criminal Waifs Are Left
Out of 750,000.
MOSCOW, M a y 31.-(IP)-Rus-
sia's wild youth, known as "bes-
prizorni," or homeless waifs, are
being tamed and educated and
taught to work.
A government statement says
tLhere now are fewer than 4,500 of
these waifs in soviet Russia and by
the end of this year authorities ex-
pect they will have been entirely
eradicated.
The government is proud of its
accomplishment with these chil-
dren in view of the fact that after
the famine of 1921 the homeless
waifs throughout the soviet union
numbered 750,000.
In rags and tatters and driven
by hunger they roamed aimlessly
through the streets and byways,
becoming pickpockets, thieves, ban-
dits, and general menaces.
Traveling in gangs, they robbed
and even killed strangers on lonely
roads. Foreigners with watches,
fountain pens, and rings, as well
as money, were often their victims.
Most of these homeless waifs
were an aftermath of the revolu-
tion. Many families were so pover-
ty stricken they were unable to
feed their children.
The government recognized the
danger and the All Russian Central
executive committee appointed a
commission with special instruc-
tions to corral the wild youth and
install them in homes hurriedly
erected.
Aided by the Qgpu, political police,
the regular police seized hundreds
of thousands of them on the streets
and placed them in homes or labor
communes, where they were strict-
ly disciplined, given a rudimentary
education and taught trades.
In a concert arrangement of

YOUNGSTOWN, O., June 1.-( P)
-Sixty-three of the 800 members
and sympathizers of the Young
Communists league who battled the
police Saturday night were sum-
moned into court today to answer
charges ranging from inciting a
riot to disturbing the peace.
Two demonstrators and four pol-
licemen were in hospitals and an
undetermined number were nurs-
ing minor bruises and injuries. A.
Sdozen minors were held for juvenile
authorities, while the rest were
scattering back to their homes in
half a dozen states.
The trouble started when Mayor
Joseph L. Heffernan and Police
Chief Paul E. Lyden refused to per-
mit the demonstrtors to paradef
as part of a nation-wide celebration
of "youth day." Both said they
would have allowed the parade on
any other day. The young Commun-
ists and their sympathizers, many.
of them boys and girls from 6 to
14 years old, started their parade
anyway and a pitched battle, with
50 policemen swinging sticks and
firing into the air, followed in the
downtown district. The police in
turn got a barrage of bricks, knives
and clubs.

ROME, June 1. - (P) -- Twenty-
four Catholic cardinals conferred in
secret with Pope Pius at the vatican
today while Premier Mussolini was
consulting his advisors at the Chid
palace as the widening breach be-
tween the vatican and the Italian
government, assumed more serious
proportions.
No statement came from either
conference but it was expected that
some word would come from the
vatican this evening either by a
formal announcement or by publi-
cation in Ossorvatore Romano, the
newspaper which frequently is used
for official pronouncements by the
pontiff.
Premier Drops Opposition.
The session at the vatican lasted
nearly two hours. While it was still
going on it was ilearned that the
premier passed the word to editors
of Fascist newspapers that their
campaigns against the Catholic Ac-
tion society should cease, at least
for the time being to give an op-
portunity for peaceful negotiations.
This action, it was believed, was
taken because of fear that con-
tinued anti-Catholic attacks in the
newspapers might excite Fascist
students to further violence.
At the end of the meeting with
the cardinals the pontiff directed
the editor of Osservatore Romano
to discontinue his editorial attacks
on Fascist students who have par-
ticipated in the anti-Catholic dem-
onstrations. This leaves the field
clear for diplomatic negotiations.
The meeting at the vatican was
virtually a consistory such as is
called only on extraordinary occa-
sions or for the creation of cardi-
nals.
Condition of Accident
Victim Reported Good
The condition of Viola Zingg, '32,
injured last week in an automobile
accident near Ann Arbor, is "gen-
erally good but painful," attend-
ants at the University hospital said
yesterday. Examination proved Miss
Zingg suffered a fractured vertebra,
they said.
Dean J. B. Edmonson, of School
of Education, will give the com-
mencemeit address at Cass City
high school on Tuesday evening,
June 9.l
Dean Edmonson's subject will be
"The Uncertainty of Success," he
said.
Would Retain Treaty.
It was said the pontiff told his
advisors he had no desire to break
the concordat with Italy but he
wished the Italian government
would regard that agreement not
as one which could be violated by
either party but as an international
treaty subject to the regulations of
international law.
l The tension appeared to be les-
sening but there was nothing to in-
dicate that the situation had lost
a ny of its seriousness.
