HALF HOLIDAYS END
FOR u. S. employees
Full Saturday Schedule Resumed
as Rumor of Executive Order
Seems Unfounded.

Scores of men and women represent
ing indirectly the $4,000 Federal en-
ployes in the District, who have called
the Treasury Department in the last
few days to trace vagrant rumor, went
about their work crestfallen today, con-
WINGED that it was only rumor after
all.
After four months of Saturday half
holidays, employees in all departments
and bureaus went back to the 4:30
o'clock pm. closing time. Resumption
of the full-day schedule was in the
nature of a final answer to all who have
called the, Treasury Department to
verify that President Hoover had de-
clared the Saturday half-holiday a
practice for all the year.
Numerous efforts have been made to
bring this about, some in the form of
bills in Congress, but to date the only
way the Federal employees can be grant,
ed the holiday is by executive order Of
the President. Mr.. Hoover granted it
in an order setting forth that four
hours work should constitute full day
during June, July, August and Sep
TENDER.
The Office of the chief clerk of. the
Treasury said today that if the holi-
day was to be extended word would
have been received earlier Character
izing all such reports as rumor, an Off
cial commented. II guess there is much
gloom. The employees want it so badly
they get to thinking it has been granted.
And then they telephone to find out If
what they hoped for can be true"

FIRST PROSECUTION
UNDER SCHOOL LAW
Assistant Corporation Coun-
sci Reviews Truancy Case
of Earl White.

The inability of a 13-year-old boys
parents to force him to attend school
and the failure of school authorities to
make Roadway against the boys whim
has resulted in the first prosecution case
under the Districts new compulsory
school attendance law.
Thomas Gillespie Walsh, assistant
corporation counsel, assigned to the
Juvenile Court, has been given the task
of reviewing Earl Whites consistent re-
fusal to attend school anywhere in the
District as well as private tutoring
which his parents attempted to provide
for him in his own home. Mr.. Walsh
will decide on his course of action in
the prosecution of the case after all the
facts forwarded to him by the school
authorities through the Office of Miss
Fay L. Bently, director of the Office
of school attendance and work permits
Earl, who lives with his parents, Mr..
and Mrs. Earl White, ST., at SOL street
southeast, first attracted attention of
school officials in Octobre, 1927, when
he played truant from the Dent School.
His career of school hatred included
since that time escape from the Friend
ship House, consistent refusal to stay
in class at st. Theresa's Parochial
School and several examinations by
psychiatrists. Finally, Mr.. and Mrs.
White permitted tutor provided by
the Juvenile Protective Association to
undertake to instruct him in their home.
Further rebellion greeted this effort.
One psychiatrist has recommended
that he be excused from further attend
ance at school, while another in the
school system is convinced the boy is
capable of being educated, and there
fore cannot be excused from further
attendance as "non-educable.
Whether the boy himself will be the
subject of prosecution or the parents,
who claim to have made efforts to send
him to school, will be prosecuted under
the law will rest with the decision
reached by Mr.. Walsh after his review
Of the case. The law includes both
parents and children in its jurisdiction.
