SEEN
ON SCHOOL
CON TR(Q

Is the Board of Education
riding for a fall?
When Charles r. Carusi,
president Of the board, threw
down q challenge to the Dis
trict Commissioners by refus-
ing to prune the school esti-
mate for 1929, it left the Com
missioners and the District
auditor with no other alterna-
tive than to do their own
pruning. Hence more than
81 ,OOO, 600 Of the school budget
was marked supplemental esti-
mates.
The Commissioners have assured
the board that the supplemental
estimates will be given the same
consideration by the Budget Bureau
that Is given estimates on general
and necessary expenses.
Donovan to Report
Major d. ]. Donovan, auditor il
preparing report on the subject
to the District Commissioners. He
will refer to the fact that the
comptroller general recently told the
utilities commissioners that they are
subordinate to the District Com
missioners and further placed the
Board OF Education in the same
class.
District officials are frank to say
that the Board Of Education is
seeking to set up an Independent

auditor, its own perchasing agent,
repair shop and architect. condf-
ton which they claim would cost
several million dollars annually
above present school expenses.
1t was brought to light today that
some thought is being given to
the effort in 1916 by the Commits
sioners to have the school board
abolished and a new system inaugu.
rated by Act of Congress.
The legislation in question was pre-
pared and sponsored originally by
Major Donovan. then secretary to
the District Commissioners
Under the Commissioners plan
director Of education would be
named by the Commissioners to be
responsible to them. A board of
education of five persons would be
named by the Commissioners to
function in an advisory and not an
administrative capacity.

"What is Tom Blanton up

That is a question which
many Government officials
have been asking ever since
the fiery Representative from
Texas was reported back in
Washington.
All that Blanton viii say is that
he II transacting business in the
Government departments lin the
interest" of his constituents.
1t was reliably learned today,
however, that he is working up
data in connection with certain
Investigations he plans to make
when Congress reconvenes in De-
cember.
May Plan War ON White
One report today had it that
Blantoh has interested himself
again in his war on DIR. William
a. White, superintendent OF st.
Elizabeth's Hospital as result Of
the revelation this summer by the
General Accounting Office that DIR.
White is receiving a salary Of
$4,000 year. including the living
allowances he receives from the
Government
Blanto has frequently dem 4nded
the dismissal of DR.. White on
various grounds.
But III view OF Blanton,s threat
when he left Washington in May
to conduct his campaign for the
Senate. that he would return this
fall to continue his battle with the
heads OF the police department,
most observers believe that he as
gathering data in connection with
that investigation.
Blanton is now an avowed enemy
Of Edwin B. Hesse, superintendent
of police. and has charged Hesse1

FALLS POWE R
STUDIED

The National Capital Park and
Planning Commission, at three
day session, beginning today, may
modify its objections to the power
development of Great Fails.
Strenuous objection was made by
the commission last year to the APP
pIication of the Potomac River
Corporation for a preliminary permit
for the development OF power
plant at the falls, on the grounds
that it would interfere with plans
for park development OF the falls
and adjacent river valley.
Get New Report
A report will be submitted to the
commission today. however, showing
that there are several ways in which
the proposed park and power develop
ments at the falls can be coordinated
This report has been drafted by a
special joint committee of engineers
and landscape architects appointed
Engineers office to study the pos.
ability of such coordination.
The experts have found that it is
feasible. to develop the power
notentiaIities OF the falls without
running their scenic value.
Blocked By Congress
Even a. favorable report from the
Park and Planning Commission,
however, would not mean that the
permit would he granted because
Congress. shortly before adjourn.
ment last session, passed a resolution
forbidding the Federal Power Com.
mission from granting the permit
until Il has received the approval OF
Congress.

Union in Richmond, Va, Tie other day
Mr. McAdoo declared that if wet wer,
elected president, the White Hous
would become the Gibraltar OF the Liquor
interests" and 'the doom of the Eight
zenith Amendment would be written bold
ly upon the face OF the constitution" W.
quote the Journals comment on this
statement, verbatim:
Doubtless the speech highly pleas
ed Mr.. McAdoo's immediate audi
ence, but the accuracy OF the opinions
expressed may be questioned. Con-
gress alone has the power to modify
or repeal the Volstead law and the
Eighteenth Amendment cannot be
repealed with congress consent and
that of three-fourths of the states.
A wet president would not bring
about either of these changes, neith-
er of which will be made unless gen.
eral public sentiment strongly de-
mands it.
Governor Smiths election to the
presidency would be hailed as wet
victory, and it would have its sig
nihcance as an indication of the trend
OF public sentiment in this respect,
but it would not get the vets what
they want And If we know anything
al all about human nature, an honor
able man elected president as wet
would exert himself to the utmost to
enforce the national law 1t is not at
all improbable that a more efficient
effort at enforcement would be made
than ever before because the admin
istration would be in no way behold

ence over the prohibition service is
responsible for much of its weakness.

NULLIFICATIONISTS LAY new SMOKE SCREEN

holden to the political drys"-that argu-
ment is the zero in logic! Would wet
president be beholden to any group
Tammany Hall for instance? Is it because
a wet president would be more efficient
in law enforcement" that every wet or
ganization, every wet newspaper, every
wet editor is bowling for an anti-prohi-
bition candidate? 1t is to laugh.
