Scene three is ushered in by the singing of the Christmas carol, “The Christmas Tree" mother Madeline Spahr enters to greet the children. Scene four presents the groop about the Christmas tree, discussing it’s merits. Besides the characters named in the preceding scenes, Jack and Ned, Richard Hammond, and Bobby Owens, add their thought of presenting the true Christmas spirit about the tree. When Good Will.

Workmen were repairing the building when the wing collapsed. While searchlights played on the debris 20 feet deep, a faint cry led rescuers to the spot where Prof. Carlo Vattaso, a painter, was buried. He was standing on a scaff- . old. retouching a trescoe, when the roof fell. Vattaso was alive but , died soon after removal to the hes- , pital. A letter written by Martin Luth- l I er replying to the warning of Pope ’ Leo X was recovered by workmen. 1 They were forced to go slowly in ; removing the debris lest they de- | stroy some part of the library treasj ure not totally ruined.

“The damage may not be so ser- ( l ious, because only the central part 1 •of the floor in the main hall of the j | front section collapsed,” said Mon- j ' signeur Eugene Tisserant, assistant > ! precept of the library. “Six priceless manuscripts have I | been recovered. The most import- j I ant were in a book case attached ‘ to the wall and were not damaged ' I seriously.” | An accurate check of the persons p ( in the library when the wing col- h •lapsed was difficult, as the crash . I occurred at dusk a few minutes after most of the attendants had fin- ' ished their day's work. The Vatican 'lire department, gendarmes and I detectives, and scores of workers | were rushed to the scene. Detectives watched as rare vellum e s and manuscripts were 1 brought out of the ruins. A close I check was made on each of the ■ pieces recovered. ] Pope Pius XI received regular reports on the work of excavation from the library precept, Monsignor Giovanni Mercati. The pope's private office was in the section of •the library that crashed. The section comprises one fourth of the [ entire library and is 220 feet long and 70 feet wide. Pope Plus formerly was head of I the library. Three-fifths of the precious Codez lof Santa Saophia was recovered. ]lt was hoped that the rest would .be found. The historic font in 'which the son of Napoleon II was baptised was seriously damaged. I Among the treasures in the wing were frescoes, books, codicils, and many autographs of. kings and queens since the beginning of the 117th century. G. E.

Frock Hower and Fred Engle proved to be the musicians ami • rendered selections excellently in . spite of the fact they had just ■ made a long trip from the old country and were quite tired.

At the stroke of nine, fat old I Santa Claus and his assistants • from the North Pole circled above ’ the 1 Hilding and finally lighted] their six motored plane.

' There was Ilion a rush to the ’ Santa Claus houses for the candy. ■ nuts, oranges, toys and balloons which were equally distributed to . the children. j Refreshments of Moxie was served to the grownups. Following the distribution of gifts. Pauli Edwards of the local studio, made a picture of the group of children, 1 old Santa and his assistant. Dancing followed the program, 1 with music furnished by Deej Fryback and his orchestra. Weddings Not to Bar Students i Springfield. Mo.--(U.R)-Springfield ; . high school students can go out and get married and the Board of • Education will do nothing about it. i Arthur Brinkman, 16-year-old student. recently crossed the line into Arkansas and was married to a ' high school girl. He was immediately ousted from school for "ere-, ating a disturbance," but the board was forced to reinstate him.

FARM BUREAU CHALLENGED BYJXWERNOR (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) ed over lightly by the last legislature. He scoffed at the idea that a politically divided legislature could accomplish in a special sesswhat it could not do in a regular session, when conditions were identical. He said he believed th farmers were largely responsible for the present situation because they had approved the bond Issues and extra levies which raised taxes to their present level. He said Indiana’ was far better off than several other states where special sessions have been called and nothing was accomplished to ease situations. He believes it best to let well enough alone for the present and elect the next legislature solely upon a taxation revision program. In conclusion he assured the delegation that he would call a special session only if a program were drawn up, agreed to and signed by three-fourths of the voting members of each house of the legislature, then approved by himself. Following the conference, Leslie told the United Press that he would carefully weigh every suggestion made in a tax revision program before he would summon a special session. Assurance must also be given, he said, that nothing outside the agreed program would be passed if the session were called. When asked whether he would limit the time in which the farm leaders might draw up their program, Leslie said they could take all the time they wished. Then he

reiterated his belief that it was impossible to draw up taxation suggestions satisfactory to all interests. The farm delegation, however, was confident of success when it left the conference, and plunged into the work of drawing up a program. Their opinions were expressed as follows: Settle: “I believe it is now possible to get all interests agreed on a program and we can get a majority of the legislators to assure the Governor of its passage in a special session.” Bush: “I am confident that 1 can get Walter Myers (speaker of the Democratic House of Representatives) to agree with us on a program." Lindley: “I believe the various I interests have already agreed on a program. You can get two-thirds of the senate to come here for a special session and agree not to pass a single appropriation bill.” The Governor's opinion was sumI med up as follows: | "I can't see at this time, in a [state where they play politics 365 days in the year and 366 days in leap years, how the legislature can meet and agree on a program for cutting taxes. I can’t visualize how (those 150 members can come down here and arrive at a satisfactory relief program in 40 days. “I haven't been able to find out what your program is other than that you want to take taxes off farm land and place them some place else. “Os course I’ll call a special session if you assure me that a satisfactory program will be passed. But I fear the worst.”

Leslie repeated his assertions that all plans for tax revision should be drawn up under the supervision and with the approval of Bush and Myers. o———POLITICIAN IS MURDERED (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) by, heard the three shots, then heard a motor roar as a machine was driven away. Rushing from his home, be found Lapidus slumped over the wheel of bls car. One foot on the running board, and a half-smoked cigar still burning between his clinched teeth. The motor was running. Investigators said Lapidus proU ably recognized his slayer, and had stopperl his car to talk with him. I Robbery was not the motive, ! police said. Lapidus was a rich man, having built a fortune from the grocery store he bought for $250 in 1910, but he seldom carI ried a large amount of mnoey with him. His pockets, which contained only a small amoun tof bash, had not been rifled. All three shots struck him in the face and neck. Anyone of them, according to examining phyi sicians, would have been fatal. Pennies Pay County Taxes Waco.
