STATE CONTROL
Of SCHOOLS HIT

The school is but one Of many
educational agencies. and its func-
ton is to supplement, not replace,
the home, DR.. George johnson, di-
rector of education for the Ma,
tional Catholic Welfare Council,
stated in an address on the Wash
ington Catholic radio hour from
the Church of the Immaculate
Conception yesterday.
Declaring that "the home should
control the school, and not the
school the home" the speaker
warned that placing the schools
under Government control would
be the beginning of the end of
American liberty. He branded as
a social heresy" the idea that
the school is primarily a concern
of the state and that the interests
of the parents in education is sec
ondary.

$4,000 DRAWN
To BLOSSOMS

Sunny skies and the spectacle
of Washington's cherry trees in
bloom drew to the Tidal Basin
yesterday one of the largest
crowds ever seen here on a
cherry blossom Sunday
More than $4,000 persons saw
the blossoms yesterday, police es-
timated, while the traffic load
was the heaviest in the history of
the park police, according to Capt.
Ray C. Montgomery.
The pedestrian traffic was the
most difficult ever contended with,
Captain Montgomery said, for
people overflowed into the road
ways and obstructed vehicles, but
the new system of handling auto
mobile traffic around the Basin
proved very efficient, he added.
Diversion of heavy traffic into
Washington by way of Arlington
Memorial Bridge and clockWiSe
direction of tourist traffic around
the Basin were contributing fac
tors to a successful handling of
the situation.
Meantime, cool breezes did not
deter foot throngs from crowding
both East and West Potomac
parks. Only one arrest was
recorded, though 26,522 cars we're
clocked at Inlet Bridge.

D. c. PUTS HOPE
IN SENATE

The Senate Bingham subcom-
mittee soon will announce a date
for beginning of Senate hearings
on the District appropriation bill
of $4O,OOO,OOO, already passed
by the House.
The bill comes to the Senate
with SlaShes all along the line
on the budget estimates. Ordi-
narily the Senate is more liber-
ally inclined toward District
needs and despite the economy
drive in the upper chamber, it is
expected the District supply bill
will be increased unless there are
specific instructions otherwise.
Senator Bingham, chairman
of the subcommittee that will
handle the measure, has not
fixed a time for beginning hear
ings and they may go over for
week or more because of the
jam in the appropriations COM
mittee on other supply bills.

BERLIN, November 19.-For the sec
ond time in three months Adolph Hit
Ter, who was corporal in the World
War, applied today to Field Marshal
Paul Won Hindenburg. President of
Germany, to be made chancellor of the
Reich.
This time, in marked contrast to their
meeting August 13, Hitler was invited
to sit down for an hour and to talk
with frank cordiality. AS he departed
from the Presidents residence, he was
asked to come back for another confer
ence next Tuesday.
Although political commentators said
todays meeting in nowiSe indicated that
the President had changed his mind
sufficiently about his adversary in the
presidential campaign to share with
him responsibility for Germanys des-
tiny still it was agreed that a begin
ming had been made in achieving
better understanding between the two
most popular German leaders.
Both Silent on Meeting.
Considerable work behind the scenes
was involved in bringing about the
meeting between these two erStwhile
bitter antagonists. And political
observers see plenty of work ahead in
the matter of fitting the National So
cialist movement into the Presidents
scheme for a government 'of national
concentration"
Neither Hitler nor Won Hindenburg
was willing to discuss their meeting.
On reliable authority it was learned
that the Nazi leader, apparently
tag elections November g. dropped the
attitude that had appeared arrogant
to the President in the August IS
meeting.
Instead Of demanding the chancel-
lorship Hitler pleaded with the Presi-
dent, according to this reliable source,
to permit him to place his movement
of 100000 Germans, most of them
youthful and enthusiastic, behind the
venerable field marshals unique
authority.
Four Points Stressed.
verSation the National Socialist leader
concentrated on four points.
l. That the Nazis are Germany's last
bulwark against Communism.
2. That the ReichSwar (the army
is sacrosanct to the Hitlerites and that
everything will be done 20 promote its
efficiency and popularize it among the
masses of the people.
8. That the fight against the restric-
tions of the Versailles treaty will be
carried on and intensified
4. That a cabinet headed by Hitler
would consider its cardinal domestic
task to be to get the Jobless off the
streets and into productive work.
