The body of Klutas, once a Univer- sity of Illinois student and known for his polished and sauve manner, was viewed Sunday by the victims of a dozen kidnaping and extortion plots as police hoped he might be identified. In the slaying of Klutas, police also made another capture of importance when they arrested Walter Detrick, one of the Indiana prison break con- Victs. Before being turned over to penitentiary authorities he is being held here for recent crime victims to view. While the man killed at the bung- alow in suburban Bellwood was posi- tively identified as Klutas, police said his fingerprints showed the results of plastic surgery in an effort to erase tell-tale lines. From underworld sources authorities said they learned Klutas already had spent $5,000 on the j uncompleted operation.

Teachers have been allocated to the different counties of the state. j They will receive a maximum of $50 a month. To be eligible, teachers must be unemployed and be enrolled with jthe county reemployment officer of the county in which they desire to teach. Teachers employed under the pro- gram must have the same qualifica- tions as regularly employed teachers and must be residents of North Da- kota. ° County Groups Formed In each county in the state a coun- ty committee has been appointed to have charge of the work in the coun- ty. The county committees are charged with the responsibility of selecting the teachers and designat- ing the places where they shall teach and types of courses to be offered. County committees usually consist of the county superintendent of schools and the city superintendent of schools in the county seat towns. These two appoint a third member, The types of work which may be effered are rural education, illiteracy, vocational education, general adult education and. vocational rehabilita- tion. Rural schools forced to close be- zause of lack of funds are being sup- Plied with emergency relief teachers, In the larger towns, especially, vo- cational education and general adult eflucation ciasses have been organized. Interest Reported Keen “Keen interest is being taken in several communities,” Page said. Miss Christine Finlayson and E, H. Jones of the Agricultural college, and President E. F. Riley of the Wahpeton School of Science are giving advice to county committees in the organ- wation of vocational classes. The same type of service is being given general adult education by Miss M. Peatrice Johnstone, Grand Forks, and Miss Lillian Cook, Bismarck. “To date- few classes in illiteracy have been organized,” Page declared. “The demand for this type of pro- gram is not great. Because of the fact that we do not have large cities, illiterates are not concentrated, hence, classes are difficult to organize.” The work in vocational rehabilita- tion is being conducted under the direction of Edward Erickson, federal vocational director, Grand Forks. Of cne total amount allotted to North Dakota $800 per month is being used for vocational rehabilitation. “It is not expected that all unem- Ployed teachers will receive assistance under this program,” Page stated. The money assignment for North Jakota is not sufficient to assist every teacher not regularly employed. It is evident, however, that many needy unemployed teachers will be helped and children in rural schools will con- tinue to receive educational advan- tages.” Boy Scorns ‘Play’ Lions, Trains Troupe of Live Ones Children the world over play at animal trainfng, but Manuel King, 10, of Brownsville, Tex., scorns such subterfages.

Guy T. Helvering, commissioner of internal revenue, also disclosed Mon- cay in his annual report to Secretary Morgenthau that although 3.2 beer ind wine were legal only for a small part of the 1933 fiscal year, the former brought in $35,149,492 and the latter With income taxes the bulk of the load, Helvering estimated total revenue for the 1938 fiscal year at $1,619,839,224 as compared with $1,557,729,042 the year before, Further, it cost the government $1.85 to collect each $100 of revenue during the year. That was 32 cents less per $100 than it cost the previous year, All in all it cost $30,031,722 to collect the revenues of the govern- ment for the year as compared with $33,870,903 the previous year. Corporation Returns Individual and corporation income taxes brought in a total of $746,791,404, Helvering reported, a decredse of $309,965,293 or 29 per cent. Miscel- laneous receipts were $873,047,820, a gain of $372,075,475.

McKENNEY Secretary, American Bridge League Quite often a hand is dealt in a tournament which resembles a double dummy problem, and here is one taken from the national championship tour- nament at Cincinnati.

If East had returned a club at tals point, allowing the dummy to ruff, West would have discarded a spade to defeat the contract. How- ever, it looked as though the natur- al lead was the eight of hearts, which was won in dummy with the jack. A small spade was returned, and won with the ace. Another spade was played and won in dummy with the queen and a club was discarded on the king of spades, The jack of diamonds was returned, East played the queen and South won the trick with the ace, immediately re- turning the ten of clubs.

STATE'S REVENUES ST00D UP WELL IN Auditor Declares Situation Bet- ter Than Expected Early in Year | Sufficient state revenue was col- Heeted by North Dakota during 1993 {to meet the state's obligations prompt- ly, State Auditor Berta Baker said Monday in commenting on the finan- cial condition of the state. “We have come through 1933 bet- ter than we really oar the fore part of the year,” she said. General tax collections were about the same in 1933 as in 1932. The 1931 taxes were 59.97 per cent collected on December 1, 1932, and the 1932 taxes were 58.11 per cent col- lected on December 1, 1933. On January 1 of this year 1930 taxes were 86.03 per cent paid, or a total of $2,763,714.41; 1931 taxes were 74.23 per cent paid, or a total of $2,472,626.29; 1932 taxes were 63.27 per cent paid, or a total of $2,417,- 964.19. The balance uncollected for those years are: 1930 taxes, $448,596.29; 1931 taxes, $858,353.96; 1932 taxes $1,4¢4,- 495.39. The balance in the general fund on December 31, 1933, was $129,131.38, while the balance on ber 1, 1932, was $14,459.36, according to Mrs. Baker's figures. Gasoline tax collections during 1933 netted $87,679.40 more than dur- ing 1932, due to a lesser amount re- funded. Gas tax total receipts for 1933 were $2,788,606.80, while for 1932 the total Was. $2,843,481.56. Refunds in 1933 totaled $863,776.34, and in 1932 the total refunds were $1,006,330.50.
