800 DISTRICT PUPILS WORK
FOR COMMUNISM, GIRL SAYS
Central High Student Ar
rested Last Night Re-
veals Activities.
EDUCATORS STIRRED
Kramer Proposes Ameri-
canizatiOn "Antidote''
in Schools and Homes.

A claim that 800 District school stu
dents are active in the Communist
party, made by Central High School
girl, following her arrest last night dur
ing Communist demonstration in the
downtown section, stirred Washington's
educational circles today and prompted
Asst. School Supt Stephen E. Kramer
to propose an "Americanization anti
dote" in the schools and in the home.
The statement was made by Helen
Colodny, 20-year-old Central High stu
dent.
Kramer declared it was possible, but
not probable.
He admitted the existence of an or
ganized campaign to spread radical
propaganda among school children, and
laid the responsibility for checking the
movement at the doors of the school
authorities and the parents.
Held Confession of Laxity.
The fact that such a campaign can
gain any Roadway among school chill
dren is confession of laxity on the
part of schools generally in promoting
Americanism "in an educative rather
than In suppreSsive manner" Kramer
asserted 1t is also, he said, indicative
of the failure of the homes to supply
the proper ideals" for the molding of
child character.

Benedict CroWeII and Former
Senator Appear Before
House Committee.
Nv the Associated Press

BY the Associated Press.
Opponents of prohibition called on
a former Assistant Secretary of War, a
former United States Senator from
Missouri and New York lawyer today
to buttreSs their arguments for repeal
Of the eighteenth amendment
Benedict Crowell, former Assistant
Secretary of War, of Cleveland, said
before the House judiciary COMMITTEES
that the people of his Ohio city were
Overwhelmingly wet"
Former Senator George H williams,
a director Of the Board OF Children's
Guardians of Delinquency in Youth Of
st. Louis, testified that Modification
was a fact to be observed and not dis
cussed" in his territory.
Frederick r. Coudert, the New York
lawyer, predicted that the Government
would be overthrown at the polls or
civil war would result from a real
effort to enforce prohibition"
He said If the Government made a
severe efforts to enforce the law by order
ing the Army and Navy out to see that
1t was enforced, you would have to
make accommodations for between 50,-
100000 and 100000 of the 120, 0OO,-
900 citizens"
Congress. he continued, would not
dare bring about actual enforcement
because it knows that it won't be
done, can't be done and that it is not
being DONE
He said prohibition had resulted in
the Nation losing the ground gained
toward temperance before its enact
ment. He described it is fad, a no.
ton, a religious dogma
Coudert commended the eighteenth
amendment had proven futile.
Ralph M. Shaw of Chicago, another
witness, argued prohibition laws had
impeded temperance.
Mr.. Williams told the committee,
which is considering a number of bills
Tor modification, or repeal of the pro-
hlbitton laws, that the States attorney
at st. Louis, in announcing his candidacy
for ONCE, said he would not enforce the
Volstead act.
The witness explained to the commit
tee that through his connection With
the board of children's guardians of st.
Louis, which has fun charge of matters
anect1ng the delinquent young, he had
been a close observer of the effects of
prohibition in that territory.
Jury InactiOn Claimed.
Williams said Federal grand juries
have not been quick to indict" on pro-
hibition cases. The foreman of a re-
cent Eastern Missouri district Federal
grand jury had declared that indict-
mentS for violations of the eighteenth
amendment would not be returned, ne
said, and the judge had thanked the
jury and excused it.

BONNER IS ORDERED
TO MAKE DEFENSE
IN POWER INQUIRY
Instructed to Prepare An
sWers to MaIadministration
Charges at Hearing.

F. E. Bonner, executive secretary Of
the Federal Power Commission, today
was ordered to prepare detailed an
swers to charges of maladministration
against him at the end of three-hour
hearing before the Senate interstate
commerce committee.
Bonner, who had been charged with
allowing utilities groups to pad valua-
ton estimates and with favoring the
power interests" was excused until
Monday. Chairman Couzens of the
committee instructed him to have the
answers and statistics ready at that
time.
The Senate committee began its gen.
eral investigation of the Power Com
mission Monday and at breakfast today
President Hoover urged Senator Couzens
to push legislation which would re-
organize the commission. The Chief
Executive indicated he wanted it made
a permanent commission along the
lines OF the Interstate Commerce Com
mission.
Says Charges BaSeless.
Bonner in his testimony today said
the charges made against him by VIII
liam King, commission accountant, and
Charles Russell, commission secretary.
were baseleSs. He commended that much
Of the trouble had been caused by news
paper propaganda" and added that
some OF the power companies had been
prosecuted" Pressed for the names
OF companies, he mentioned the Niagara
Falls Power Co. and the Rocky Noun
tain Power Co. The latter is an appli-
cant for the F1athead power site in
Montana.
The committee adopted a resolution
by its chairman, Senator Couzens, Re-
publican, Michigan, which directed that
the power commission produce list of
all projects in which its accounting
department questioned items involving
more than $1,000. The resolution also
called Tor the names of applicants for
development permits.
A detailed explanation of the time
elapsing between applications and the
granting OF permits also was demanded.
Couzens said after his resolution was
adopted that further investigation of
the commission would be held up until
Bonner returned with the statistics.
In connection with the Presidents
move for reorganization today, it was
recalled that Mr.. Hoover, in his mes
sage TO Congress, recommended that a
full-time and permanent power commits
sion, organized along the lines of the
Interstate Commerce Commission, be
created by legislation. He said that the
present commission, which is composed
of three cabinet officers, had neither the
time nor the power to control properly
power matters.
Has No Value Now.
President Hoover told the Michigan
Senator that the power commission as
it IS now constituted was of no particu-
lar value either as an advisory or as
regulatory body. Such being the
case. 1t was said at the White House.

REPORT
INDICATED LIKELY
ON DALE MEASURE
House Committee Would
Leave Substitute LehIbach
Bill for Later Study.

Questions asked by members of the
House civil service committee this morn
ing at the third days hearing on the
question of increasing the retirement
annuities of Government employees, in
dicated considerable sentiment in the
committee in favor of reporting the
Dale bill, which has already been
passed by the Senate, and leaving the
substitute Lehlbach bill for later study
and consideration, both by members of
Congress and the various employees or
CARNATIONS.
Several members told representative
of The Star that they were trying to
keep an open mind" in the controversy
that has ragged around the new Iehl-
bach retirement bill during the last few
days. They said they wanted to hear
everything both sides had to say before
deciding how they would vote in
committee.
Representative Addison T. Smith, of
Idaho, ranking Republican on the COM
mittee, presided this morning in the
absence of Chairman Lehlbach, who, it
was explained, was detained by i'm
e.
When the hearing was resumed, the
opponents of the bill were in recital.
Interest of President.
While there was no mention directly
this morning of President Hoover in
connection with the controversy over
retirement legislation, Representative
Smith remarked at one point in the
hearing that Chairman Lehlbach had
the confidence of the leaders of the
House and of the Chief Executive in the
matter of retirement legislation. This
statement was made after one witness
had denied any intention to criticize
Mr.. Lehlbach personally.
Representative Smith said that Mr..
Lehlbsch, he felt sure, had no obiec-
ton to criticism of his bill, but did not
like the intimation from some quarters
questioning his motives in introducing
1t. Mr.. Smith suggested that it would
be better for all the employees organi-
cations, no matter what position they
! may take IN the matter, to credit Mr.
Lehibach with sincerity in his efforts tc
improve the position of the retired en-
ployeS.
The hearing was transferred TO-DAY
from the caucus room to the House
ways and means committee hearing
room in the House Office Building. The
room was again crowded with active and
retired Government employees, who fol-
lowed all OF the testimony closely.
$4,000 Clerks Represented.
The first witness was G. p. Franciscus
president of the United National Asso-
citation of Post Office Clerks, who said
he represented $4,000 clerks in first and
second class post Offices in every State
Alaska, Hawaii and Porto Rico.
MY organization is on record In
favor of the Dale bill and see nc
reason to change our opinion" said. Mr.
Franciscus.

questions asked by members of the
committee, that the Government was
benefiting greatly by the contributions
