Most have been given Com
munist indoctrination and sent
back to their classrooms. Reds
later charged they with only pre
tending to adopt Communist prin
ciples, then reverting to reaction
ary teaching.

Fires Added To
Floods Battering
Kansas City, Mo.
y J
KANSAS, CITY, Mo., (/P) —Of
ficials closed all but essential
1 businesses Saturday as flood and
fire stunned this metropolitan
area of 900,000 population.
All were hopeful that the worst
of the great flood had passed as
the Kansas and Missouri Rivers
reached their highest crest in his
tory, but there still was a chance
that dikes protecting two more
vital industrial districts might
collapse.
This would add untold millions
to the damage that Maj. Gen.
Lewis A. Pick, chief of the Army
Engineers has estimated already
amounts to $500,000,000 in the
flooded area of Kansas and Kan
sas City, Mo.
Firemen still were fighting a
blaze that has swept a two block
area at Roanoke Road and South
west Boulevard in Kansas City,
Mo., after a series of explosions
in oil storage tanks nearly 24
hours ago. They were working in
waist-deep water and for hours
had a losing fight by believed they
could prevent further spread of
the blaze.

COMPRESSED AIR ENGINE
DECATUR, 111., (A3) — A* com
pressed air motor that would
drive a car at speeds of 100 miles
an hour may be a development of
the future.
Paul L. Franck, of Washington,
D. C., who has been working in
the field of compressed air motors
for nearly 30 years, seeks the or
iginal drawings of a model in
vented by Louis C. Kiser 25
years ago. The Decatur man, a
former locomotive engineer, built
his invention from a Ford motor
converted along the principles of
a steam engine.
Kiser tried to organize his own
manufacturing firm. He and *his
partner rain out of money before
operations got started. Kiser »was
so discouraged he sold the inven
tion for junk and moved to Ar
kansas, where he died in 1927.
