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.

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.

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. fir. - -__. ____.______ _,...._.. ,_ - --- ----- .. .. . . _ .. . _ . . m .. i S ARS 4e lirl"14 AN w NA 1.93 1 ,_. { Your Welcome to "The Alumni Association of the Unikersity of Alichigan " Is Ready for 1931!
