 ditions Excellent

 lively of the Alaska Road Commis- ion. They went to whitehorse, Dawson and Circle, and by auto mobile from there to Fairbanks.

ATTORNEYS BACK
SATURDAY HOLIDAY
Federal Bar Association to Support
Halliday OFF for Fed
eral Workers.

A committee of three attorneys from
the Federal Bar Association will appeal
directly to President Hoover to grant
half-holiday the year around to Gov
eminent workers, basing their conten-
ton On law.
Decision to take this step was reached
last night by the council of the bar as
ISOLATION at the Interior Department
Building, when it was voted that the
president of the group, William r. VAL
lance, and two others constitute COM
mittee to take the matter up directly
with President Hoover.
The council acted on a special report
concerning the matter, which went into
the law, and the court decisions in the
matter Valance referred to the District
Code, Section 1889, which he said pro-
vides for the observance of Saturday
half holidays all year, instead of only in
the Summertime. Supporting this law.
Valance cited an opinion of Associate
Justice McReynolds, while he was act
ing Attorney General.
In the language of the law, section
1889 of the District code, amended June
80, 1902. declares that every Saturday
after IL o'clock noon" is a holiday "foi
all purposes" just the same as Christ
mas, WaShingtCn's birthday, the Fourth
of July and other legal holidays.
Instead of granting the half-holiday
the year around, Presidents have grant
ed them only in the Summer time.

of British attorneys here August 1928
were discussed.

PRATT WILL CAUTION
LETTERMAN ON RAIDS
Superintendent Of Police Declares
Vice Squad Must Be Careful
About Entries.

Maj. Henry G. Pratt. superintendent
of police, said today he intended TO
caution Sergt Oscar j. Letterman and
the other members of the vice squad TO
be more careful in the future about the
way in which they enter premises on
raids.
The caution is based on the fact that
the District Attorneys Office on Satur-
day declined to prosecute case Of
possession of liquor against Mr.. and
Mrs Eleck Harmon of the 1900 block
of street on the theory that Letter.
man and his squad had not gained
entrance to the Harmon apartment
legally. The squad had a warrant for
another person at another address but
no warrant for the Harmon apartment.
No report has been made to Maj.
Pratt on the investigation conducted
into the raid by Inspector Thaddeus
Bean. Bean is waiting for the Har-
mons to make complaint to headquar-
tiers about the illegal entry of Letter.
man into the Harmon apartment.
Should this complaint be made, Mai.
Pratt said that he would cite Letterman
before the Trial Board. He said, how
ever, that he felt that Letterman was
simply the victim OF overzealousneSs,
and that IL the aggrieved parties did
not make specific complaint, he would
satisfy himself with warning the raid
ing squad to be more careful in the
future.

CALL FOR COMMUNIST
FACTS IS IGNORED
No Request Yet Received to Ap.
pear Before School Board Hear
ing Tomorrow.

Not a single request for an audience
with the Board of Education on the
subject of Communism in the District
public high schools has been received
by the Board of Education, despite the
fact that it was announced two weeks
ago that Communists would be
heard at tomorrow's meeting Of the
board.
DR.. Charles F. Carusi, president of the
schol board, at that meeting issued
a call for facts and specified that he
wanted names. dates and places" of
the Communistic movement. DR.. Caru-
sis invitation was prompted by news
paper reports of the activities of the So
called Young Communist League and
the Young Pioneers, both CommuniStic
organizations with headquarters at 1887
Seventh street, and by resolutions from
civic bodies protesting against the spread
of the Communistic doctrines among
school children.
At the board meeting two weeks ago.
DR.. Carusi declared the board could
not ignore such evidence as the reSolu-
tons and news reports presented, and
announced that as soon as definite teS-
timony of communistic activity was pre-
sented to the board, that body should
and would undertake to combat the evil.
The only communication which DR..
Carusi did receive was burlesQue pro-
test written on a postal card which de-
clared Sarcastically that the Communists
are advocating such dangerous doctrines
and principles as the claim that the
earth is round and that the sun does not
revolve around this sphere.
