RESEARCH SCHOOL 1S STARTED HERE Students Will Delve Into Economics and Science of Government. Washington has a new and unique Egraduate school of economics an government, Instituted _under the leadership of Dr. Robert S. Brookings, wresident of Washington University, St. Louis, in which some 30 fellow- ships are offered for research work in the National Capital K s was originally Presidence foundation,’ muspices of ashington but developed so rapidly found d. rable to give it complete independence. It now has an en- jowment of more than $1,000,000. It started in full operation with about 50 men and women students. This school will differ from other institutions not merely n the fact that it devoted exclusively to graduate work, but that much greater hasis will be placed by it than by r colleges and unive upon research work, and upon training the students to engage actively pur- suits calling for special knowledge of €economics and government rather n for the teaching profession. Advantages Offered One of the for locating the achool in Washington was not merely | that Washington is the seat of gov- er but that it could work in close co-operation with two research instituti pying the two fie covered by the new school—nam the Institute of Kconomics, a negie institution, of which Dr. Broo ings is presdent and of which Har Moulton is director, and the tute of Government Research, which Dr. Brookin Willlam F.

These two institutes have further- more accumulated special libraries of original material in the fields of economics and government. The ma- terial in these libraries will be freely avallable to the students of thel school, and will thus relieve thej school of the necessity of building up a technical library.

TROTSKY MUCH BETTER; MAY RESIGN SOVIET POST Deposed War Minister Held to Have Done Ample Penance for Political Sins. By the Associated Press. MOSCOW, March 28.—Leon Trotsky, who was reported abroad as having lisappeared mysteriously from Suk- hum,” made a long speech at that place today, in which he eulogized the three Georgia officlals %ho were killed in the fall of an airplane near Tiflis several days ago. The former Soviet war minister, who has been staving at the health resort of Sotchi, near Sukhum, since his dismissal from the war office, is considerably improved in health. Re- ports :are current that he may soen be offered the post of commissar of education, or, failing in this, that he may be restored to power in the councils of the government and the communist party. It is probable that Trotsky's fate will be definitely settled at the ap- prcaching congress of the com- munist party in May. Many of his associates consider that he has done ample penance for his political sins and the belief prevails that the day is not distant when the government will again utilize his peculiar gifts E orator and politician nished.

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo., March 28. —Warning against what he termed was a drift toward centralization of power in the Federal Government, Senator James A.

He said that the idea of such an alllance of nations orlginated with the Democratic party, but that now it was about equally advocated in the ranks of both the Democratic and Republican parties. He added that the difference was that leaders of the Republican party have “nailed the American flag to the party | masthead,” while the Democratic leaders run up a flag, “which repre- sents virtually nothing.” “We (the Democrats) were beaten by 7,000,000 votes during the first campaign; by 9,000,000 votes during the second campaign, and if we cling to it, we will be beaten by 25,000,000 votes the next time.

Nungesser, Victor in 26 Real Battles, Has En- gine Trouble in “Combat.” Defying strong winds with light airplanes, Capt. Charles gesser, famous French ace, and Lieut Maurice Weiss, formerly of the French army, staged war-time aerial combat the Washin~tor Monument afternoon for the edification and enjoyment of those below. While everything appeared to be going fine from the ground, even to the point Lieut. Welss was “shot down, on fire,” the noted war pilot was enjoying himself to the limit. A delay of about half ar hour was encountered at Bolling Field before he could get off the ground in the little Henriot pursuit shot down mans. It was due to motor trouble with the result that Capt. Nungesser could not get the maximum revolu tions per minute out of his propeller and therefore was unable to shut his motor off and on in performing the various maneuvers Foe Falls, “On Fire.” The two pilots “fought” for about each seeking to get or the other's tall preparatory to deliv ering the final blow.

In pantomime, Welss pre sented a picturesque spectacle « talling down out of control and “o fire,” which was simulated by streams of smoke from his exhaust. Dissatisfied with his handicap in a low-powered motor, Capt.
