 AFFAIRS DISCUSSED
Dr. BatChelder Defends InteTVen-
 tj0n in Nicaragua

University, Va. Aug, 2 lP) - Lat in-Amerlcan affairs held the spot light at the University of Virginia institute of public affairs this week end.
 Last night, Dr. Charles l.. Batchel- der, Qf New York, defended Amer ican intervention in Nicaragua as an outgrO~th of the trend toward in ternatlonalism as opposed to nation alism, and J. Fred Rippy, professor of history at Duke University, told of the growth cf trade between United States and Colombia with the passing of resentment over Ameri- can action toward acquiring the Pan anna Canal zone.
 Difficulties Explained
 Today the difficulties of private prospecting for oil in Colombia due to confusing legislation were ex- plained 10 the round table on Latin American relations by R. B. Gather, counsel for south American oil con- panies
 Under the old Roman law, which exercised greatest influence in Spain in the formulation of it's laws, he said, minerals belonged to the sur face owner. From this. however, arises the question, Mir. Gather ad- ded - is oil or coal 3 metal - or even a mineral?
 He pointed out that the rights of the Colombian government 10 oil lands after 1903 are fairly clear, and expressed the opinion that title to all public lands granted to pri- vata owners before 1903 should be considered as vested in the land owner.
 Gives Social Service
 Tn his discussion of Nicaragua. Dr. Batcheldor admitted the primary commercial interests Of the United States in the central American na- ton, but said that at the same time this country was rendering a social service by aiding the NIcaraguan government
 Rights of women were debated last night by Mrs. Bernita Shelton Matthews, of the national women's party, and Miss Selma Borchard, representing the League Of Women Voters, Women's Trade Union, and other organizations.

RAISE IN FARES
MAY CAUSE
DEBATE

With the issues upon which
the street railways will fight the
proposed merger resolutions
clearly defined the Senate District
Committee today is prepared for
a series Of executive sessions at
which it will whip the bill into
final shape.
Senator Arthur Capper of Kan
saS, chairman of the committee,
is arranging for meetings next
week out of which he hopes will
come modification Of the
present resolution which will
eventually lead to transit unifica-
ton in the District.
The companies are opposed co
the present resolution on two
principle grounds, namely, that
it would force continuance for
two years of the present rate of
fare and that it would radically
alter court procedure governing
appeals by the companies from
decisions of the Public Utilities
Commission. The Public Utilities
Commission, which formulated
the merger proposal, insist that
these provisions remain in the
resolution.
It is considered likely by those
in touch with the sentiment of
the District committee members
that they will insist also on reten-
ton Of the two-year fare pro-
vision.
On the other hand, it is prob
able that the committee members
might be willing to yield some
what in the matter of alteration
of court procedure. Some of the
members, however, it is known
will insist upon, at least a modi-
fled change in the present law.
This may be inserted as separate
legislation instead of being car
ried in the merger resolution.

going to hear anybody who
wants to appear" the insurance
subcommittee of the House Dis
trict Committee today took up the
Gibson bill providing a new in
surance code for the District.
Thomas M. Baldwin, jr., super
1ntendent of insurance for the
District, said thai probably IL
witnesses would appear on the
measure. The first witness today
was William B. Goldsmith, of
Hartford, Conn.,, chairman of the
insurance committee of the
American Bar Association.
He testified that the proposed
District code had the indorse-
ment of the association and
that it followed closely the in
Suranee code of New York State.
Most of the time of the sub
committee today was devoted to
hearing on a separate bill
authorizing fraternal and beneVo-
lent corporations operating in
the District to separate and
divide their insurance activities.
Several witnesses representing
the Knights Of Pythias advocated
this measure.

Senate Committee Will Study Street Car Merger
SCHOOL STRIKE
THREATS HIT
BY CARUS|

The District Board Of Educa-
tion refused to reopen the ques-
tion of the transfer of pupils
from Burroughs School to Lang
don School at it's meeting yester-
day afternoon, declaring that the
action had been taken on June
26, last.
TIL issue was brought before
the board by John M. Kemper,
chairman Of the education COM
mittee Of the Burroughs Citizens
Association, who asked that the
board defer action until the par
ents Of the students had time
to present their side of the ques-
tion." After Kemper had left
the minutes were consulted, and
it was found that, the order for
the transfer was passed last June
26, and a notice Of the order sent
to the Burroughs Citizens Associa
ton.
Carusi DenounceS Threats
Charles F. Carusi, president of
the Board of Education, de-
nounced the reported threats CT
strike in the Burroughs section,
declaring that such a rebellion is
harmful to the minds of growing
children. Kemper denied that
any strike was contemplated, or
that the citizens association had
threatened to continue to send
their children to Burroughs
whether they were admitted or
not"
Despite Kemper's assurance
that no drastic action would be
taken, w. E. RabenhorSt shortly
after the meeting issued a state
ment denouncing the action of
the board, and denying that his
association had received any
notice at any time of the pro
posed transfer. He said that he
probably will recommend that
parents continue to send their
children to Burroughs in defiance
of the boards order. A protest
meeting will be held tonight at
the school.
Vocational Survey Asked
1t was decided, following the
preliminary report of the advis-
ory committee on vocation educa-
ton. made by John B. Colpoys,
chairman, to request the Federal
Board for Vocational Education
to have one of its experts make
a survey of the District in regard
to vocational schools, and report
to the advisory committee.
Colpoys also declared that the
Abbot School was unfit for use
and requested that it be aban-
doned as soon as possible for
vocational training purposes.
Rabbi Abram Simon was
chosen to make an address as
the representative of the board
at a reception to be given in
honor of Senator Arthur Capper,
February II, by the Parent-Teach
ers' Association of the District.
The affair is in appreciation of
Capper's work in favor of the
free textbook bill.
