Soviet Chess ‘bert Given High Honors LENINGRAD, (UP).—The high- est popular award in Soviet Russia, the title of Peoples’ Artist, has been conferred upon the 62-year-old chess expert, A. A. Troitzky. The award is considered a striking example of the esteem in which chess is held in Russia, as heretofore it has been made only to the country’s outstand- ing actors, singers, writers and painters. The title was granted to Troitzky by the Council of Peoples Commissars. The last “Artist of the People” in| the public eye was the famous singer| Chaliapin, who lost his title, along, with his estate and nationality. De-| spite his title, Chaliapin refused to| return to Russia and sing before the| people.

Underneath the surface a rising | tide of anger is surging among the people of this island because of the method in which relief funds for the victims of the recent tornado are being administered by the officials of the Red Cross. Republican and democratic poli- ticians have made a “united front” with officials of the Red Cross to use the opportunity as a means of forcing the voters to agree to vote for either of the two old political parties on the pain of receiving no relief. In the various localities the par- ticular politicians in control are forcing the voters to their side. The | result is that the relief fund is tak- ing on the aspect of a huge election slush fund.
