SCHOOL IMPROVEMENT REDS OPPOSE RAZING PROGRAM IS ADOPTED Jarthajfe Board Approves Purchase Of Land for Elementary Building. CARTHAGE, Jan. MARKTWAIN HOME Moscow Radio Says Americans Are Plotting- to Make People Forget Famous Humorist.

LONDON. Jan. 18 IJ--The Mos- of the board of education cow radio tonight attacked the pro- adopted a strong program of posal to pull down the Mark Twain chool improvements at a meeting house in New York and said it which included a long- plan for the construction of a new high school. Dr. George Wood, president of he board, also said that a recopn- mendation has been approved for he purchase of 10 acres at Bud- ong and Regan streets as the site of a new elementary school.

Superintendent of School J. L. Camp- Dell said that present plans call for he construction of a 10 class-room school with an auditorium, a gymnasium and a cafeteria. Another school improvement recommendation, adopted by the 3oard, will add four rooms and a cafeteria to Mark Twain school. The board recommended the 3urchase of two lots adjacent to north side of the school, wnich would be used to provide room for the construction and an additional playground space.

High School Improvements. The board also adopted a recommendation that stairways. hallways and the auditorium of Carthage high school be recommended. Campbell said this would include the fireproof ing of the airways, installing new electric fixtures in classrooms, to replace the original ones installed in 1904. replacing seats in the auditorium, which have been there since 1904, and many other improvements.

Proposed improvements to highway 66 brought about the adoption of a recommendation that playground space at Hawthorne school be enlarged. The board approved the purchase of a house and lot on the north side of the playground which would add space in substitution for the area on the south side, which would be utilized in widening the highway. The board's approval of the purchase of a 25-acre tract at East Thirteenth and River streets was the first step in a long-range program which lay eventually result in the construction of a new high school. Dr. Wood said, however, that at present the board will hold this project in abeyance while completing the others.

No estimates of costs were available tonight, said Dr. Wood. An architect and real estate appraisers will first be called in to determine the cost of the program before further steps are taken. Their estimates will serve as "a basis for a bond issue which the board will seek in the future. Wood said the next meeting of the board will be a called meeting.

vas all a sinister plot to make Americans forget the famous hu- norist. The four-story brick house at Fifth Ave and 9th Street in the Ireenwich Village section of New York City, is to be pulled down in two weeks to way for a new 18-story apartment building. Mark Twain lived there from 1904 to 1908. The Greenwich Village Chamber of Commerce is trying to raise $70.000 to move the house intact to a new site. This was not mentioned by Moscow radio.

Attempt at Satire. After an attempt at satire that would have disturbed the ghost of the author of Huckleberry Finn, Moscow's commentator. Valentin Zonrin. said: "New York authorities decided to clear some slums and chose a strange way of-doing it. Out of the many thousand half-ruined hovels of New York only one little house has been selected to be razed, the Mark Twain house, of course." He recalled that Mark Twain in his i i had "angrily denounced corrupt politicians, those who had made fortunes by crime and corrupt newspapermen who made libel of their profession.

This is precisely what the McCarthys cannot forgive. The defenders of Western civilization are vainly trying to mak'e Americans forget about Mark Twain and about what he wrote." Zorin said a bronze plaque stating that Mark Twain had lived in the house had been removed and a "crude notice, 'Keep calm during air had taken its place. Recalling the humorist's receipt for curing stupidity "eat Zonrin said "destroyers of Mark Twain, have a try. Perhaps it will do you good." Wiring Shorts in Car. WEBB CITY, Jan.

Jan! Thomas E. Taylor and members of the city council' met tonight with the board of public works to hear arguments by "the board in support of its request for- a water tank. The board is seeking to push' through the council an ordinance authorizing an outlay of nearly $200,000 for the construction of the storage tank. The ordinance comes up for its third and final reading next Monday night. It has been opposed at two previous council meetings by Gene Fenimore.

a citizen, who believes that the financial outlay is not justified at the present. Herb Williams, superintendent of the Carthage water and light plant, argued tonight that the tank was needed to insure The city of an adequate supply of water which could be piped into homes under its own pressure should an emergency render pumping facilities useless. Williams pointed out that tlie tank, in addition to a 500,000 gallon storage tank the city now has, would give the city 1,500,000 gallons of water above ground. Insure Emergency Supply. He said that it would be enough to insure a 24 to 36 hour supply in an emergency and would last for a longer time if the plant was reduced to partial operation.

When a suggestion was made that, Carthage obtain its water from Spring water, Williams said that he doesn't think Carthage is ready for that move yet. One reason he gave was that Spring river would only suppliment the city's present sources of water, which he termed as adequate. Another leason he gave was that the initial outlay in utilizing Spring river's water would be 5400,000 or twice the amount now sought. He said further that the use of Spring river's water would not Drovide the water above ground wrnch. could be piped into the -jomes by gravity as the tanks would do.

However, he agreed that should industrial demands in Carthage increase to the extent that Spring river water is needed, the city might tap that source. And said rough plans already have been drafted should that occasion arise. JURY IS BEING CHOSEN TO TRY GLENN CHERNICK ST.
