The old complaint against CO.

the fore again with an attack
directed at Washington high
schools.
In a letter to the Board of
Education today, Howard D..
Woodson. president of the Arm
strong High School Parent-Teach-
er Association, declares that "co-
education causes distraction from
stud:cS."
The letter also criticizes the
alleged practice of advancing
STUDENTS from one grade to the
next ito make room for others

Declaring that many high
school children go to school only
+ cause they are forced to under
the compulsory education law,
Mr.. Woodson asserts that in time

Lump Sum Federal Aid

AS the Senate prepared today
to consider the 1884 District
supply bill, revised by its Appro-
priations subcommittee so that it
includes all but $557,096 of budget
estimates, indications were hat
the measure would not be enac, ed
at this session of Congress be-
cause of House determination to
reject Senate amendments.
The Senate subcommittee,
headed by Senator Hiram Bing-
ham (RO of Connecticut, in
creased the lump sum contribu-
ton of the Federal Government
to $9,500,000 instead OF per-
mitting it to remain at S6.500,000
as proposed by the House.
In addition to the regular ap-
preparation. there is an item of
$2,947,500 for permanent and in
definite appropriations.
Lump Sum Stumbling Block
The House provision which
would have prohibited the Public
Utilities Commission from issuing
orders for taxicab meter install
lation was eliminated by the
Senate.
Members of the House Appro-
priations subcommittee already
have threatened to block action
on the bill when it is sent to

ferees yield on the lump sum and

FOR BIGGEST
INAUGURAL
100000 Visitors Will Arrive
BY Tomorrow; Reviewing
Stands Completed

Anticipating lastminute rush,
the Inaugural committee today
rushed preparations for the erec-
ton of 5000 additional seats on
lower Pennsylvania Avenue for
Saturdays parade.
With the advance guard OF the
ouarter-million visitors pouring
into the city, a clamor for more
seats arose. The committee had
some few thousand seats in the
So section because additional
stands were built a few weeks
ago.
These seats started going like
hot cakes" and the order went
out for the additional stands.
So Seats All Gone
The committee announced the
supply of seats in the 81. SIS, S6
and ST stands we're selling fast.
The So seats were entirely sold
out some days ago. Meanwhile
trained crews of circus workers
continued arranging chairs in
the stands.
The stamp of approval was
given by the Inaugural Ball COM
mittee, of which Mrs. John Allan
Dougherty is chairman, to elab-
crate plans for handling traffic
in the vicinity of washington
Auditorium, Saturday night.
Although hoping against pos
sibility of inclement weather, the
committee took no chances and
had erected special shelter facll-
tiles at the auditorium entrances
for persons arriving in cars.
Parking Space Found
The large parking area in the
rear of the Navy-Munitions Build
ing will be available without
charge to cars bearing the COM
mittee's stickerS.
The northwest entrance to the
auditorium, on E Street, will be
used by visiting governors with
their parties and other distin-
guished guests. Cars of boxhold-
ers will be accommodated at the
New York Avenue entrance, while
persons holding general admis-
sion tickets will use the Nine
teenth Street entrance.
Only automobiles bearing ap'
propriate stickers issued by the
committee will be allowed in the
auditorium area.
The problem of housing ap-
proximately 500 National Guards
men coming here from various
States to march in the parade
was solved today when District
and Commerce Department Of
ficialS completed arrangements
with the Office of Public Build
ings and Parks for the guards
