SCHOOL NEWS
PROTESTED
Prominent Citizens Oppose
Boards New Policy OF
Keeping Out Press.

A gag rule adopted by the Board
of Education last night effectively
bars local newspapers from publish.
ing any school news, except that
which comes from the office OF the
Superintendent of Schools and which
has his personal approval.
The effect of this ruling will be
to maintain a strict censorship over
all school news.
A resolution embodying the cen
sorship" was adopted by the Board
without a record vote, despite It's
importance.
Two direct contributing causes Tor
the adoption of the muZzling order
were the recent stories OF wholesale
drinking, .'necking," and smoking
by both girls and boys at high
school fraternity dances.
In publishing these stories, news
papers sought out leaders In two
high schools-Central and Western
and obtained from them Verifica'
ton of the truth Of the stories.
Henceforth, by the ruling now in
force, such stories may not be dis
cussed by any of the school officers.
Furnace Trouble Row.
down the ire of the board was the
one in which the furnace troubles
at the Hilton School brought about
Hugh McQueeney, superintendent OF
ianitors; Miss Gertrude Young. prin.
cipal of the school, and Stephen An
dersOn, the school janitor.
The section of the board ruling
which covers the embargo on news
reads: That the Board of Educa-
ton advise the Superintendent Of
Schools that no news shall be given
out from the Franklin School that
is not approved by him or one Of
the assistant superintendent"
Immediate protests against the
boards ruling was Forthcoming from
prominent civic workers. Isaac
Cans, president of the Washington
Chamber, of Commerce, Mrs. Giles
Scott Rafter, president of the Con
gress of Mothers and Parent-Teach-
ers' Association, and DIR. Milton
Fairchild, vice chairman of the
school committee Of the Chamber Of
Commerce were among those who
voiced hearty disapproval of the
boards ruling.
Public Wants News.
"The public wants all the news,
not Just a censored part Of 1t,
Isaac Cans said. What goes on in
the schools is our business and
we want to know all about it. I
can't understand what the board is
driving at"
Mrs. Rafter said: "If the board
intends shutting US off from the
actions of the school officials and
the activities of our children, 1t has
taken a fatal step backward"
In justification Of the censorship
rule, Capt. Julius Il. Peyser pointed
out t,that publication Of high school
drinking stories was not compli-
mentary to the schools or to school
officials. ...4
Interviews with heads Of the
various departments in the schools
are among the tabooed stories.

HEARINGS OPEN
ON|MPORTANT
RAIL BILLS
Resolution Asks Revision Of
Entire Rate Structure
To Help Farmers.

Railroad legislation was started
on its long tedious journey through
Congress today with the opening
Of hearings on two important bills.
The House Interstate and Foreign
Commerce Committee had before it
resolution directing the Inter
state Commerce Commission to re-
wise the entire railroad rate struc-
ture with a view to the reduction
OF rates on farm products,
The Merchant Marine committee
considered a bill changing a section
OF the Merchant Marine act of 1920,
which authorizes preferential rail-
road rates on through freight from
the interior for export when carried
In American ships.
Revision of the railroad rate
structures was recommended by
PRESIDENT Coolidge in his address
TO Congress last December. 1t
grew out Of the demand of farmers
Tor lower freight rates, the Presi-
dent and transportation experts
being of the opinion there could be
no scientific or equitable reduction
OF rates on farm products without
general readjustment Of all
rates. Alfred e. Thorn, chairman of
inc railroad Executives, explained
to the committee difficulties in the
way of freight rate reductions be-
cause of bad financial condition of
many Of the rail lines, Some of the
lines are prospecting and could
stand the rate reduction, he said,
but these are not the grain and
farm produce carriers.
The movement to prevent grant
ing of preferential railroad freight
rates on exports carried in Ameri-
can bottoms had it's start among
those who fear reprisals by the
Great Britain and Japanese govern
ments for protection of their ships
which trade on routes to the United
States. Managers of the British
lines have protested strongly grant
ing by the Interstate Commerce
Commission Of the preferential rates
requested by the Shipping Board in
the interest of it's vessels. 1t is sug-
gested by transportation experts the
application Of the preferential rates
would be made unnecessary by an
agreement among shipping countries
OF fair and equal port treatment Of
all ships and division of the COM
merce.

New Policy Of Paying Artists
Who Broadcast Brings
Wide Controversy
ny ROLAND KREBS,
International News Service.

NEW YORK, Aug. 2l.-A battle
OF the air, which may decide the
life OF the radio as an amusement,
is underway here.
The first phase Of the fight will
concern itself with whether the
radio is to pay for the things it
broadcasts or whether the present
policy of using volunteer talent is
TO endure.
Broadcasters not affiliated with
the, National Association of Broad
casters announced that under no
circumstances would they come in
on the latter's new policy of paying
artists for what they contribute to
programs
"rhe National Association, II the
recommendations Of its investigat-

Statement by Association.
A statement issued by the national
association described present conii-
tons as chaotic" and added:
Radio broadcasting cannot con.
tinue on its present basis. All radio
programs now are made up of vol
unteer talent and some performers
are paid by advertisers. The best
known performers refuse to broad.
cast without being paid. Obviously
the time has arrived when PRO.
grams must be improved in quality.
THE solution is a radio apparatus
stamp tax. Radio fund stamps"
would be put on all parts sold so
that half of l per cent of the retail
price OF each part would go to the
program purse. This money would
be used to engage artists to broad.
cast from twenty-five stations all
over the country"
Some of the big independent
broadcasters said they were so con.
WINGED that there was no need for
paid talent that their present gratis
policy would continue "for several
years.
Representatives of the Radio Cor.
poration Of America and the Gen.
eral Westinghouse Electric com.
panies said they would not enter
the venture.
