APPROVES
FREE TEXT BOOKS
o. KS Measure to Provide
Junior and Senior High
School Supplies.

Moving swiftly on it's legislative
Journey, the bill to provide free text
books and supplies for pupils in the
junior and senior high schools of the
District passed the Senate today i'm
mediately after the favorable report
of the Senate District committee had
been filed by Chairman Capper. The
bill now goes the the House for con-
current action.
This measure, which was thoroughly
considered by the last Congress, ex-
tends to the ninth grade of junior high
school and to all classes in the senior
high school, the furnishing of books
and supplies, which have been given to
children in the elementary grades for
number of years.
Senator Capper requested the Senate
to consider the bill Immediately, point
ing out that it had the unanimous
approval of the Commissioners, the
Board of Education, the Budget Bureau
and various trade and civic organi-
cations.
Senator Phipps, Republican, of Colo
RADIO, asked Chairman Capper If the
committee report was unanimous and
said he would like to have an oppor-
tunity to see whether any changes had
been made since the last Congress.
Senator Capper said the report was
unanimous and told Senator Phipps that
the suggestion which he offered In the
last Congress on the subject matter
of the bill is embodied in the pending
measure.
Accepting the statement of the Sem
ator from Kansas, in view of the fact
hot 1NAa mill IaT fn no 70 lNn
House of Representatives, I shall offer
no objection to its present considera-
ton" Senator PhippS said.
The bill then passed without record
vote
The committee report emphasized
that this measure will tighten the bur-
den OF parents who are striving 70 send
their children through high school and,
at the same time, will not add material
ly to the local tax burden.
The report estimates that the orig
inal cost of introducing the system into
the senior high schools and to all
classes of the junior high schools will
be about $242,088, of which approXi-
mately $4,000 will be for supplies.
After. the original introduction. of free
text books the annual appropriation to
maintain the system win be about
100000, Of which S45,O00 will be for
replacement of books and the balance
for supplies.
AS far back as 1891 free books were
provided in the first four grades O..
the elementary schools and the system
gradually was extended to all Of the
elementary grades. The report points
out that in Is States Of the Union free
text books are mandatory. The bill was
ordered favorably reported by the Sen
ate committee last week and is the
first important local measure to pass
the Senate in this Congress. In view
of the fact that the House approved
this bill in the old Congress, It is not
expected there will be any difficulty
this year.

PEPPER DENOUNCES
WORLD COURT PLAN
Former Proponent Writes
Borah Withdrawal Provision
Alone Unsatisfactory.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Battle lines are being drawn for the
impending Senate fight over adherence
to the World Court.
Although year may elapse before
President Hoover submits the revised
protocol, designed to meet the objections
of the Senate, as expressed in its famous
fifth reservation, there is already much
discussion of the new plan, and the
opposition, regardless of its size nu-
merically, promises to be Of an extreme
ly determined nature.
The three ranking Republican mem
berS OF the foreign relations committee,
Chairman Borah, johnson Of California
and Moses of New Hampshire, diSap-
prove OF the new proposal and the adj
ministration is hopeful that the forth
coming Republican reorganization of the
Senate may result in increased commit
tee strength for friends of the project
Senate Reservation Rejected.
The Senate's fifth reservation on the
basis of which American entry was re-
jected by the nations of the court would
have provided that the tribunal enter
tain no requests for advisory opinions
on questions in which the United States
might have or claim an interest in,
without the consent of the Washington
Government.
Under the protocol, America could
withdraw from the court without preju-
dice, in the event that requests for adj
visory opinions should be pressed by
other nations over the objection of the
United States.
Former Senator George Wharton Pep
per of Pennsylvania, who was a men,
Der of the foreign relations committee,
when entry to the World Court was last
before the Senate, has addressed let
ter to Chairman Borah stanchly OPP
posing the new scheme.
Although he approved of adherence
with reservations three years ago, he
does not see that the demands of the
fifth reservation have been satisfactorily
met in the revised protocol.
Substitute Called Useless.
He said in his letter that he came to
the conclusion that American entry was
inevitable and originally laid aside his
preference for complete separation of
the court from the League of Nations in
the interest of effective reservations to
protect American interests.
He declared the new protocol unsatiS-
factory and asserted he could see no
reason for modification of the Senate's
stand.
II am utterly at loss" he said, ito
understand how any person of expert
ence can seriously advocate an interna-
tional arrangement which substitutes
the remedy of withdrawal from the
court after the mischief has been done
for the Salutary provision which pre-
vents the michief from arising"
President Hoover is heartily in favor
of American adherence, and at his d.
rection the revised protocol was signed
on behalf of the United States last week
at Geneva.
