TEACHERS HIT
BAN ON JOBS

The proposal to prohibit school
teachers from engaging in outside
occupations will meet with con-
siderable opposition when it is
brought before the Board of Edu-
cation for action, it was indicated
today.
Mrs. Mary A. McNeill, chair
man of the rules committee of
the school board, today intimated
dissension in the committee itself
and possible opposition among
other members of the board.
The question was brought to a
head recently when Daniel c.
Roper, member of the board, an
nounced his strenuous opposition
to the outside employment Of
teachers on the ground that it was
improper in the present economic
crisis.
It is felt by some members of
the board, Mrs. McNeill said, that
applications to the board for per-
mission to engage in outside en-
ployment should be dealt with in
dividually and not by any ir-
revocable regulation.

JAFS|E HOAXER
HUNTED HERE

Impetus in the local hunt for
the Lindbergh baby slayers was

posed kidnaper to whom DR.. John
F. Condor CJafsieO, negotiator,
paid the $4,000 hoax ransom.
The mysterious John" with
whom Condor dealt was pictured

CENSUS CLERKS
ONPERMANENT
ROSTER
Eighty-three of Temporary
Employees in Big Bureau
Given Regular Jobs

In the face of the acute un-
employment situation, Presi-
dent Hoover's order not to in
crease the Government rosters
and Congress- fight on re-
trenchment to meet the cur
rent budget, SO of the many
temporary employees at the
Census Bureau have been made
permanent recently, it was
learned today.
These vacancies have occurred
since the start of the fifteenth
decennial census due to deaths
and retirements since late 1929.
The clerks having military pref
erence and former permanent
status were reported to have been
given preference, it was stated by
officials.
Reach Normal Number
These appointments bring the
roster up to 1888, which is the
normal number on the roles dur
ing the off years at the Census
Bureau.
On July / next so per cent or
more than 500 more temporarieS
will be dropped from the rolls,
due to the end of the fiscal year,
it was reported.
According to some officials,
there is ample work to keep the
present force employed until De-
cember, which is the end of the
present census as decreed by Con-
gress, but the fact that William c..
Steuart, the present director,
wants to establish a record by
turning more money back to Con-
gress than any preceding director
is the cause Of the immediate re-
trenchment.
On Job 30 Years
Director Steuart has been in
the Census Bureau for more than
80 years. He started in as
messenger, and after the long
period of service will retire as its
head.

E. O'Neal said he was driving a
scout car on M Street Southeast,
when he saw Annie waving her
arms frantically and shouting:
"Hey, taxi"
O'Neal stopped the car and
Annie got in and ordered him to
drive her home. He took her to
the station instead and charged
her with being drunk. Asked by
Judge McManon if she were un-
able to distinguish between a po-
lice car and a taxi, she said:
"WeII, Judge, 1 hadn't been in
it long until I found out 1t
wasn't taxi
Judge Mcmahon ordered her
to pay a fine of SIS or serve Is

BORAH FRAMES
PARTY STAND
!. ON Law
Plan Drawn Up by Waiter F.
Brown Was Supported by
Big Party Figures

President Hoover has def
nitely turned thumbs down on
the proposal to write into the
Republican platform straight
out resubmission plank on
prohibition, and is now in
clined to stand for reelection
on a simple law enforcement
plank, similar to that of 1928,
according to word privately
circulated among the drys to-
day.
Two weeks ago, the re-submis-
sionistS were confident they had
Mr.. Hoover on their side, and
that he would accept a plank
committing the party to a new
test of the popularity of the
Eighteenth Amendment.
Drawn Up BY Brown
Such a plank was drawn up
by Postmaster General Walter F..
Brown, and supported by other
Cabinet members and influential
party figures.
Reports that the President had
been won over, however, galvan-
lied the drys into immediate &C.
ton, and for the past 10 days
there has been a steady pressure
exerted on Mr.. Hoover to SAY
1t amt true"
BOrah Drafts Plank
Twice during this period, Sena-
tor Borah (RO of Idaho, has
been called into consultation by
Mr.. Hoover, Notwithstanding the
GOODNESS that has existed between
them for many months.
Borah is a consistent dry, and
strongly opposes any temporizing
with the prohibition problem in
the party platform. It is under:
stood the 1dahoan is drafting a
tentative plank at the Presidents
request.
The Borah plank will afford
the vets Scant comfort.
Brown Drafts One, Too
Also. Postmaster General Brown
Is re-drafting his plank in an
effort to make it more to the
liking of the drys.
One visitor upon whose advice
Mr.. Hoover has been wont to lean
in other years is reported to have
told him:
why, Mr.. President, the only
bloc in the country from which
you can expect 100 per cent
support is the dry bloc. Offend
that bloc and you do it at enOr.
nous risk"
Modification Grows
While the logic of such an argu.
ment is said to have impressed
Mr.. Hoover, there is nevertheless
the outstanding fact that a ma
jority of the delegates that will
make up the Chicago convention
are inclined to some modification
Of the party's hitherto bone-dry
stand.
Most of the larger delegations
in the convention are wet-New
York, Ohio, Illinois, Massachu-
sets, and New Jersey, for ex-
emple-and number of the
smaller ones as we'll.
These States are not only ex-
ceedingly important in the con-
Vention, but they are vital to
election in November.
