Joseph Schiavone, president Of
the international Exchange Bank,
who died Thursday, provided a
number of legacies in his will,
filed in District Supreme Court

Odd Jobs Drive for Idle
Routs Gloom of Many

The weekend appeal for odd
9obs for the unemployed was
fruitful and several men and
women near a state of despair
were made happy when told by
officials at the United States EN-
ployment Service work had been
found for them.
Employed persons do not quite
realize the seriousness Of the un.
employment situation or there
would be more odd jobs found.
That is natural because they nave
regular wages coming in and do
not feel the pinch Of want.
A visit to the offices Of the
United States Employment Service
would shock many Of them.
Bankers, former heads Of cor
porations, outstanding clerks, ty.
piStS, bookkeepers, housekeeperS
and maids go there frequently in
search of work. And their pleas
are pitiful.
They will take any kind of
work and they are happy when
given even menial jobs.
Saturday a married man with
several children depending on
him asked for work.
He was well dressed, clean and
neat. He said that unless work
was found for him, his children
would not eat on Sunday. For

ASK
CABINET POST

Pointing to the growing ten
dencies toward increasing Federal
powers over State educational af.
fairs, the committee of 81 educa-
tors, named by the President, has
urged creation of a department
of education with secretary of
Cabinet standing.
The report was submitted to
the President last week by DR..
Charles R. Mann, chairman of
the committee, after a study of
two years.
The committee found a "be.
wildering sense of unnecessary
complexity" in the Governments
educational activities and declared
the Federal educational system
cannot be greatly improved with
out comprehensive policy, which
was recommended. It included:
Curtailing the power of the
Federal Government to interfere
with State powers, refraining
from further Federal financial aid
to States in support of special
types of education, making future
grants of States expendable for
any educational purpose, a sur.
vey of education finance, and an
increased appropriation for Fed.
eral educational research.

Brig. Gen. Pelham D. Glassford,

oath of office as Major and

from Daniel E. Garges, secretary
to the Board of District Commits

the District Building.
The ceremonies were attended

of various departments of the Dis
trict government, all officers Of
the Police Department from the
rank of captain upward, several
leaders of local civic associations
and number of close friends of
the new police chief.
The swearing in of the new
chief created considerable en-
barrassment. After the ceremon-
les all who were in attendance
were at loss as whether to call
the new chief General Glass
ford" or Major Glassford."
Immediately after the ceramon-
les the new police chief retired
to the office of Commissioner
Crosby, where. it is believed,
problems of administration of the
department were discussed.

SCHENCK STILL
HERE, REASON
i. A MYSTERY
BIanton, Rover, Bride Handed
Credit for Retention in Jail
of EX-PoliCeman

Mystery today surrounded
the reason for the continued
presence in District Jail of
Frederick A. Schenck, former
policeman.
Schenck was brought back to
Washington from Leavenworth
Penitentiary almost two months
ago to tell a special investigating
board of the District Commis,
Sioners what he had told the
Grand Jury, which prompted that
body to report that former police
man, Orville A. Staples had been
framed.
Refused Appearance
Schenck refused to appear be-
fore the Commissioners board and
it branded the frame-up charges
as false. Shortly afterwards the
District Supreme Court expunged
from the records the Grand Jury
report.
At the District Jail, Schenck
today declared he was being held
at the request of Representative
Thomas Blanton. Texas, who
championed Staples cause before
the police trial board.
Bride Issues Denial
Corporation Counsel William w.
Bride who had the man brought
here. declared emphatically:
There is no truth in the re-
port that we are keeping
Schenck here at the request of
Representative BlantOn. 1 ex-
pect to discuss the matter with
the Commissioners within a
day or two and then we will
decide when to have the man
sent back"
Officials of the bureau of in
vestigation of the Department of
Justice did not know Schenck
still was in Washington.
Rover Given Cause
Officials of the bureau of
prisons said Schenck was being
kept here at the request of United
States Attorney Leo 4. Rover.
At the jail Lieut.. Col. William
E. Peak, Jailor, said the records
showed the prisoner was being
held at the request of Mr.. Bride.

Ready For Action
Explaining the statement to
The Times, Staples said his
enemies around the city have &C
cused him of various things and
circulated rumors seeking to dis
credit him. He said:
"At last have found a def
mite statement in print, and l
am going to insist that Walsh
answer for it. If / can't get the
