X-RAY FILM SAFETY
SURVEY LAUNCHED
Public Health Committee of Board
Of Trade Sponsors
Move.

A survey Of Washington's hospitals
and clinics to determine whether In
fammable X-ray films similar to those
which caused the disastrous Cleveland
explosion last May are used is being
undertaken by the public health COM
mittee Of the Washington Board Of
Trade. Of which DR.. D. Percy Kicking.
District alienist, is chairman, 1t became
known at q meeting Of the committee
last night at The Star Building.
Although the consensus appeared to
be against the sacrifice Of the advance
Of diagnoStic science for the added
safety of non-explosive films, action was
deferred until the results Of the survey
could be presented to the committee.
DR.. William F. Hernler, local X-ray
expert, said that the inflammable type
of film gives better results.
QueStionnaireS have been sent to all
local hospitals and other users of the
X-ray TO determine what type OF Aim
is used and how it is stored. Answers
to the queries had been received last
night from three hospitals, Emergency,
Garfield and Georgetown. All three Of
these institutions were said to use the
acetate base film and as an added pre-
caution store it in fireproof vaults.
The committee, in addition to taking
up this subject, Endorsed the bill provid~
ing for an increase in the appropriation
for children's tuberculosis sanitartum.

PLANS FOR ELECTIVE
EDUCATION BOARD
Parent Teacher Demand Not Meant
as Criticism of Present Member.
ship, Mrs. Bannerman Says.

Sponsors Of the movement to create
an elective board of education offer no
criticism of the present members of
the body, Mrs. William T. Bannerman,
chairman of the department of legisla-
ton of the Federation OF Parent
Teacher Associations, declared last
night in an address over radio station
VOL.
Mrs. Bannerman contended nc effort
was being made by friends of the pro-
posed legislation to replace the MEM
beers Of the present board. She added
the sole purpose in supporting ii is
to place the public schools of the Ma
tons Capital on a scientific legal foun-
dalton which harmonizeS with Ameri-
can ideals and supports, in actual prac-
tice. the American theory of constitu-
tional government"
The speaker asserted the National
Education Association and the Denver
Teachers College have made scientific
studies Of numerous city school systems
which revealed elective school boards
provide many advantages without any
higher tax rate or per capita cost.
Advantages cited included better build
1ngs. larger Fairgrounds higher paio
elementary school teachers, smaller
classes in elementary grades and q
students.
"Biologically, intellectually, spiritu-
ally, the relationship between eacn
parent and his own individual child -
an undisputed and basic fact" MIS-
Bannerman argued. Failure to recog-
nize the fundamental nature OF this re-
lationship in the enactment OF laws
governing the operation Of our social
and educational institutions is quite as
dangerous to those institutions as IAN
ure to recognize the law OF graviLaIion
could possibly be to our material struc-
lures"

NEW YORK, March 1o.-Sir Ronald
Lindsay, newly appointed British Am
bassador to the United States, believes
disarmament and the abolition of war
the two biggest problems confronting
him IN his new post at Washington.
Held overnight aboard the Cunard
liner Aquitania at Quarantine by fog,
Sir Ronald upon landing today expected
to proceed at once to the Capital,
With regard to the outcome of the
Naval Conference in London, he said:
ut Is not practical to expect unlimit-
Cd success or 10 hope for 1t in any
conference, but it will make q step
toward disarmament. Further confer
ences can be held at Geneva, in which
all the world can take part and where
the United States is interested in the
work OF the League Of Nations. In
London only i've powers are represent
ed at the Naval Conference"
Asked whether he expected to follow
the precedent established by Sir EsIne
Howard Of not importing liquor or wines
Tor consumption at the embassy, he
said:
1T is rather a severe question and
would rather have the time to look
around first before discussing such q
personal affair. I have not made up
my mind about it yet"
Later Sir Roland said that he was
mot teetotaler." He has received no
instructions from the foreign ONCE re-
garding the status of liquor, he said,
and added that he believed the de-
cision Of Sir Esme not to import liquor
Tor The embassy was personal one"
II can tell you that l have bought
what remains of Sir Esme'S stock Of
liquor at the embassy" he concluded.

w. Va, waitress, who took up
crime for a livelihood, today was re-
called TO the witness stand for further
State cross-examination regarding the
Staying last December 81 of State
highway patrolman near New Castle.
Her fight against being sent to the
electric chair drew its greatest strength
from her statement that she did not
know II the bullet she fired had hit
Corpl. Brady Paul. Already she had
admitted from the stand that she par
ticipated in the holdup of a Butler,
Pa, chain store that December day.
She has admitted, too, that she fired
at Paul when he halted the automobile
bearing her and two men from the
scene of the hold-up.

PENDANT further concerning the swift

Last night Margiottis cross-exami-
nation led the blonde woman through
a review of the early events Of her
life, including a fall at the age of 10.
when she said her head was so badly
injured that she had suffered constant
ly with headaches ever since as q re-
suit. She told, too, of her automobile
flight with Dague, following the hold-up
and shooting, across the continent to
Arizona, where the two we're captured,
following a series of gun battles in
which a Maricopa County, Ariz., depu-
ty suffered wounds from which he
later died.
She told Of taking" several auto
mobiles as the flight progressed through
West Virginia, Ohio, Michigan, Illinois,
Missouri and other States.
Previously Dague, awaiting trial in
the same case, had testified regarding
the flight and the purchase "for pro-
lection" of numerous guns, one of which
the State charges spouted bullets at a
st. Louis policeman during a gun bat
tie there, although failing to wound him.
