The economy act requires such

SAVE SCHOOLS )
HOOVER PLEA
To PARLEY
Crisis Recognized at Confab
of Educators; Children in
Peril of Economy, View

President Hoover today sounded
an alarm for saving the school
system of America. In opening
the conference on the crisis in
education the President told
educators at the National
Academy of Sciences Building
that, recognizing conditions as
they are, those in charge of the
schools must cooperate in dis
carding all unnecessary expendi-
ture."
children First
Opening the conference, Mr..
Hoover said:
"Our nation faces the acute
responsibility of providing the
right of way for the American
child.
'1n spite of our economic,
social and governmental diff
culties, our future citizens must
be built up now. We may de-
lay other problems, but we
cannot delay the day-tO-day
care and instruction for our
children"
The President had assembled
the conference to consider what
he termed "a crisis in education"
brought about by reduced rev.
enues and the ensuing closing
of schools, shortening of terms,
and lack of money to pay
teachers.
Education In Peril
Education is in a severe pre-
dicament," according to President
Robert M. Hutchins, University
of Chicago, opening 10-point dis
cussion on ways and means of
saving the schools. He cited re-
ductions of the national income
and continued unemployment.
AS one remedy, Frank Morrison,
secretary, American Federation
of Labor, suggested cutting out
the waste caused by political ap-
pointments.
At / o'clock the delegates to
the conference met at a Cosmos
Club luncheon. Afternoon ses-
sions were devoted to school
costs, and at night the conferees
will meet at the United States
Chamber of Commerce to offer
concrete remedies.
Their slogan is, "The Schools
Must Be Saved"

excited attempt to get in touch
with a friend by telephone only
few hours before his death, 1t

Shortly after 8 o'clock Saturday

word that he wanted to see him

Detective Sergeants George

intended to investigate further
into the portent of the mysterious
call.
The detectives said that advice
of experts was sought to deter
mine just when Lelli's body was
left beside the lonely road.
1t was believed from the extent
to which the body had frozen to
the ground that it was left there
between II and IL o'clock Satur-
day night.
Controversy over Jurisdiction in
the Staying continued today.
Montgomery county authorities
were seeking aid from Washing
