SCHOOL ALLEGATION
BY BOARD IS ASKED
Trade Group to Urge Con-
gress Not to Specify Use
for Business High.

Holding that the authority to allocate
the use of present public schools of
the District among pupils Of the public
school system should be left with the
Board of Education. directors of the
Washington Board of Trade will urge
Congress not to specify what use should
be made of Business High School after
completion OF the proposed new Struc-
ture for the school.
The trade body directors, at their
meeting late yesterday, approved a rec
concentration of the committee on pub
lie schools urging that Congress strike
from the proposed legislation providing
for construction of a new Business High
School a clause specifying that at the
completion of the proposed new high
school the present building be turned
over to use by colored students.
The directors were of the opinion
that to specify what use should be made
OF local school building would be es-
tablishing a bad precedent.
Committees Appointed.
The Board OF Trade also has ap-
pointed two special committees to make
a study Of the proposed new five-year
building program for public schools and
the method of handling estimates for
the school system.
Guy Y. Collins was named chairman
OF a special group of the schools COM
n1ittee to confer on these subjects with
a special committee of the committee
on municipal finance headed by w. L.
Beale. Serving with Mr.. Collins are
Thomas P. Littlepage, Paul E. Lesh,
William NICK. Clayton and H. A. Dris-
coll.
Other members of the committee
headed by Mr. Beale are Joshua Evans,
ir.: E. C. Graham, Frederick Bradley
and w. E. Rabenhorst.
Approve Measure.
The Board of Trade directors finally
approved and decided TO urge passage
at this session Of Congress a new meas
ure providing regulation of the sale,
possession and transportation of dan
gerous weapons. The BILL which the
trade body committee on public order
aided in drafting, would provide for
the licensing and recording of the sale
of weapons and allow time for the Po-
lice Department to investigate proposed
purchases before actual sale of weapons
be permitted.
The board directed that letter of
appreciation be sent the Saturday Eve
ming Post commencing that publication
for an editorial supporting the move
ment for providing for representation
in Congress for the District Of Columbia.
