William L. Morrison Brings
Suit Against Partners for
Accounting.

Alleging that misunderstanding
among the partners interferes with
the proper transaction of their
business, William l.. Morrison yes
terday filed suit i'm the District Su-
preme Court against BENJAMIN B.
Ennis. jr., Herbert c. Hare and
the Washington Mechanics Saw
ings Bank, for a dissolution Of part
nership and an accounting.
Mr.. Morrison, represented by at
torneys william Henry White. E.
p. Morey and J. e. Potbury. claims
that he made an agreement with
the defendant in January, 1928, for
the construction Of the Chain
Bridge public school, the profits
therefrom to be divided between
them, with the exception of Hare.
who was to receive $50 a week for
handling the work. The profits,
according to plaintiff amounted to
between $4,000 and $4,000. In Octo-
ber, 1923, Morrison says contract
for the construction Of the Patho-
logical building OF Freedmen's Hos
pital was made, the estimated
profit being $1,000, with Ennis to
receive $40 a week and Hare $50 a
week for experimenting the work.
Still another contract was made
for alteration Of the postoffice and
custom house in Philadelphia with
an estimated profit of $4,000 in
which he claims q share.
Morrison alleges that he is un.
able to get an accounting from
defendants who have placed their
money in the Washington Mechanic
Savings Bank. He declares there
is a misunderstanding between the
defendants preventing the compile
ton of the work in hand and the
continuation of the partnership
which plaintiff asks the court to
dissolve.

IN FUNDS
HITS HOWARD
HARD
Appropriation Reduction to
Bring Serious curtaiI-
ment Of Activities.

Serious curtailment of activities
at Howard University is in prospect.
because of Congressman James +.
Byrnes' successful effort to exclude
an item Of $207, 900 in the Federal
appropriation for the institution, 1t
became known today.
II the Senate indorses the action
for which the South Carolina Con.
gresham was responsible, the uni
versity will be left with practically
no provision for professors salaries,
maintenance of the manual art de-
partment, purchase of laboratory aps
paratus and materials, library ex.
penses and ground improvements.
Byrne's Reasons.
Congressman Byrnes' attack on
the university funds Is said to have
been made because he disapproved Of
an address by the Rev. r. j. Grimke,
at the recent convocation of the
school Of religion at the college, in
which the clergyman criticized the
religious attitude of former Presi.
dent woodrow Wilson.
It was explained at the university,
following a meeting OF the trustees
yesterday, that the medical school,
one of the most important units Of
the institution, win be unaffeced,
although an appropriation OF
100000 was stricken out in the
House, recently.
The funds were asked to erect
a new medical school building,
present accommodations being con-
gested. The school is endowed with
a foundation fund Of 100000. Half
was given by the Rockefeller Edu-
cation Fund, and a drive by the
university was successful to the
extent Of $271, 900.
Cut Before.
1.-THE action taken in the House
will not affect this foundation
fund.-" said DIR. Emmett J. Scott,
secretary-treasurer Of the univer-
sity, today. 1T is not the first
time Howard University appropria.
tions have been cut in the House.
In 1914 and again in 1919, similar
actions were taken"
On both occasions the amounts
stricken out in the House were re-
inserted in the Senate.

tect the zone in time of actual war.
1t is believed that radio will play. a

it will prove an important aid in the
