NAVAL REDUCTION
 PROGRESS CHECKED
United States Insists on PreCau-
 ti0nS to Prevent Failure

London, June 29 R>-The damper has been thrown on expectations of an immediate conference of the naval powers on disarmament and naval reduction.
 Some quarters had been led to be- lieve that the promptness of Ambas- sador Dawes. Premier Ramsay Mac Donald and Ambassador Hugh s. Gibson in initiating conversations on the subject implied an early call for Ia meeting of the nations.
 Both in news dispatches from Washington and in a speech last night by Premier Macdonald, how ever. there were indications that eX- tensive preparation would be under taken before a call finally is issued for a conference.
 The Washington dispatches in- ferred an administration view that the United States would not be party to an immediate conference on naval disarmament, begun without neces- sary preliminary work. The dis patches recalled the Geneva disarm- ament conference of 1927, the fail ure of which sometimes has been at- tributed to incomplete preparation.
 It was understood this viewpoint has been transmitted to the British government. although there was no direct assertion by Premier Mac Donald to indicate his speech last night was made in answer to it.
 Must Avoid Failure
 The premier said that despite con- stant work in the direction of peace i've are not going into peace con- ference without such preliminary nreparation as will avoid the failure of 1927"
 "Every minute of our time is now being devoted to this preparation. which, when it is accomplished. "''i give vou a sense of national and in- ternational security
 II am banking on the risks ot ueace rather than the risks of war. All history has shown that FISK ol war is a real risk. No nation mas taken upon itself the risk or war without having to face war.
 I've want to present to you ra- ton which has been wise enough to take the risk of peace because know that the nation which VIII take the risk of peace will get peace. just as in the past the nation whlcn took the risk of war got war.
 I've are striving to insure that the great forces of evolution that make for righteousness may have the chance of transforming the old so- ciety that gave us unemploymer. and war until it becomes a new so- ciety that gives us comfort, happl- ness, justice and peace"
 Preparations Started
 The general situation to which the Washington dispatches and the premier's speech have given rise va. considered generally as expressive Of the hope of officials that not stone be left unturned to insure sue cess of a naval conference before it is called.
 It was believed this preparation work was well under way both in Great Britain and in the United States. with particular emphasis on formulation of the naval yard stick" of which President Hoover and Ambassador Dawes have spoken.

Washington Is Wary

Washington. June 20 L7o The rapid development of naval dis armament discussions abroad is arousing some concern in official circles here lest an international con- ference on the subject be brought about before adequate preparatory work has been done.
 A suggestion that the question of reducing sea armaments be ap- preached with caution has been ad- vanced to the British government by the Washington administration. The latter has long held the view. despite its known desire to see the

EDUCATION BOARD
SETS BUDGET DATE
Body Win Confer With Civic
and Trade Representa-
y tives December g.

The Board of Education late yester-
day set Monday, December 9, as the
date for its annual conference on the
budget with representatives of civic as
sociations and trade bodies of the
District.
The meeting, which will be held in
the auditorium of the Franklin Admin
istration Building at 8 pm, is that in
which the school board will report back
to the citizens on the items for which
they asked at a similar conference last
Spring, and it follows closely the pres
entation of the budget to Congress by
the Bureau of the Budget.
Bus transportation to already estab-
lished schools for pupils living in out
lying communities doomed in yesterdays
meeting as a possible alternative for
the present plan of setting up portable
schools where facilities are lacking. In
the same session the board agreed to
ask for deficiency to cover additional
expenses involved in the transportation
of tubercular children to the tubercular
schools, and 1t received from Supt
Frank Ballou a statement of the status
Of the two schools for crippled children.
Discuss School Buses.
The discussion of the use of buses
to carry children of new and outlying
territories to permanently established
school centers was brought up infor-
mally by DR.. Ballou when the board re-
ceived a communication from the East
Washington Citizens Association asking
for some sort of school facilities at
Bradbury Heights. DR.. Ballou explained
that the reason the officials were slow
to set up a portable in that community
was the lack of sewer connections. The
installation of such facilities, he pointed
out, would be extremely expensive, and
he added that a permanent school
building would be unwise, in view Of the
comparatively small number of school
children living in the neighborhood.
He suggested plan whereby the
children of such communities could
be carried in buses to schools which
already are in operation until the school
population in those outlying sections
had increased to the point where the
construction of a permanent building
would be warranted. The idea was re-
ceived with evident interest by school
board members. who declared that such
q plan might open an entirely new ave-
nue. of solution for the growing COM
muntty problem, and one which might
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1929-11-21

end all legitimate excuse for portable
schools. The discussion was not
lengthy, but indications were that a
study of such procedure will be forth
coming.
Bus Service Inadequate.
Because the bus service which was
provided to transport tuberculous chill
dren to their special schools is made
quate, DR.. Ballou yesterday recommend
ed that the board ask for deficiency
which would permit an increase in the
number of buses in that service. He
explained that the children, relying
upon two buses, have been crowded
daily and often have reached school
late. Similar delays have been caused
on the home trips in the afternoon.
Adequate service, he said, could be pro-
vided at a cost of 50 ,632 more than the
present appropriation of $4,000. This
additional expenditure, he explained,
could be offset by using an unexpended
balance of the $4,000 appropriation for
the transportation of the crippled chill
dren to their schools.
Because of the late opening of the
crippled children's schools, the whole
of the $4,000 appropriation for their
transport will not be needed this year,
DR.. Ballou contended. He explained
that the required deficiency needs
merely to authorize the combination of
the two transportation appropriations.
The board agreed to request the de-
ficiency.
According to DIR. Ballou, the weight
man and Magruder schools for crippled
children, which were opened November
4, are meeting with weekly increases in
enrolment. At present there are 80
white crippled pupils in the Weightman
Building and 20 colored cripples In the
Magruder School. Much of the equip
ment for the treatment of the young
sters which was lacking when the
schools were opened still is undelivered
the superintendent reported, but he de-
clared that steps have been taken to
secure it in the near future.
In its meeting yesterday, which was
presided over by DR.. F. Barrett Learned
in the absence, because of illness, of Cr.
Charles F. Carusi, president, the board
officially confirmed its action OF last
Friday, when, as committee, 1t vetoed
two proposals for amendment to school
board rules. One of these was to with
hold diplomas from pupils guilty Of
conduct prejudicial to good discipline
and the other called for the elimination
of the anti-fraternity pledge card syS-
TEN from the high schools.
The board also affirmed its action in
directing DR.. Ballou to appoint COM
mittee to study character training in
public schools, with view to present.

.lishment in District schools not later
