ON SCHOOL ROLLS
Second Days Registration
Brings Large Increase Over
Opening Session.

A substantial increase over yester-
days opening day enrolment of 81 ,267
school children is in prospect today,
it was announced at the Franklin
School. While only two junior high
schools had transmitted their second
day enrolment figures at noon, both
showed increases, and it is thought
possible that today's enrolment will
be over $4,000.
The enrolment at the mcfarland
Junior High School today is ST.
pupils. as compared with $50 yester.
day, while the enrolment today at the
Jefferson Junior High School is 603
pupils. as compared with 5S7 yes

was carrying % more pupils than its
capacity.
Parents May Have to Pay.
Mrs. Arthur Fl. Fast, president of
the Parent-Teacher Association, is
hopeful that the parents will be able
to appropriate enough money to Oh
tain the rented quarters for nine
months. An eight-room addition to
the Burroughs will he ready next
September. Mrs. Fast has been as
sured by school officials that they will
cooperate with her as far as pos
sible in obtaining the rented quarters.
but it appears likely that the parents
will have to make up the difference
between what the School Board can
spend and what the rented quarters
will cost.
The interest of the Parent Teacher
Association at the Burroughs School
is typical of the character of the par
ents in the Northeast community, as
it Is recalled that this association has
spent between $500 and $500 a year

Presentations Declared Vague.

Max ID. Steuer. counsel for Daugh-
erty, cross-eXamined the witness to-
day and elected that in consulting
officials. Dulles merely put to them
a hypothetical case, not mentioning
names of any men connected with it.
Steuer contended that Dulles rela-
ton of his Washington conversation
showed he presented his case so
vaguely that the officials could not
have advised him otherwise than they
did His questioning attempted to
show the contrast between Dulles al
legged vagueness and Kings reputed
openness in laying the whole case be-
fore the Government, thereby getting
speedy approval.
Former Official Called.
To counteract Mr. Steuer's conten-
ton of vagueneSS, the Government
called Lucian II. Boggs, a Jackson
vile lawyer, who was one of the Off.
Gals Dulles criticized in Washington.
Boggs, who was at that time in
charge Of alien property matters in
the Attorney Generals office, testified
that, from Dulles description Of the
Hypothetical case. he Immediately rec
ognized it as the American Metals
case.
Believing that il was this company
of which Dulles spoke, Bogss said he
expressed the opinion that favorable
executive action was improbable and
that Dulles might better take the mat
ter into court for adjudication.
