One publicist states that the Rus- siun Sociallstic Federated Soviet Re- public expended $24,000,000 on these honws last year, compared (o $33,500,- 000 “paid for general education and $5,750,000 for railroad extensions. The figure is hardly believable, as dozens of these so-called homes which Lhave visited were empty of children except a few for zirls and boys of from 5 to 8 years. However, they all had em ployes. The_children will not remain in them long and are not compelied 10 do so. Sparadically the police chase the beggars and round up the children and put them in the homes. In a few days all are out again. The round-ups usually precede the arrival of foreign visitors, during the bicentenary of the Russian Academy of Sclence, when James . Goodrich, former governor of Indiana, and Col. William Haskell, former director of American relief Russin, were hailed as distinguished American cientists. ha Local writers on the subject cite | refused Anderso By the Associated Press, RALEIGH, N. ., April the Stat. today was practically out night. - It will tell how their Anderson, estin and $700,000. many, if any, Jives in the bl ze, Dr superintendent, to. leave the of youn honds have thej and authorized representatives, as does the republic.
