ANNEX
PLAN BACKED

Washington citizens requesting
immediate construction of an ad-
dition to Eastern High School
were backed today by school Off
cials.
Need for the construction Of
additional facilities at the high
school was emphasized by DR..
Stephen E. Kramer, first assistant
superintendent of schools, In
charge of secondary education,
who pointed out that Eastern is
the most congested school in the
city.
Unless an addition is built soon
for the accommodation of the
hundreds of surplus pupils, the
present system of staggered"
classes will be continued indefi-
nitely. he said.
Citizens of northeast Washing
ton presented a vigorous plea to
the Board of Education this week
at the Joint conference of civic
groups with the school officials
for the preparation of the 1885
budget.
At the present time, there are
more than $500 students enrolled
at the school. The capacity is
1000.
DR.. Kramer would not say
whether funds for the addition
would be requested, declaring that
school officials have not yet begun
preparation of the estimates.

BAPT|STS STILL
KEEP To DRY
TENETS
Rev. W. S. Abernethy, Calvary
Pastor, Makes Address of
Welcome to Delegates

The Northern Baptist Confer
ence will follow the lead of the
Southern faction in declaring
itself still strictly dry, it was in
dicated at the official opening
of the convention in Washington
Auditorium today. However, the
Northerners seemed inclined to
take beer literally, judging from
the preliminary remarks of lead
erS.
The Rev. w. S. Abernethy,
pastor of Calvary Baptist Church,
made the address of welcome to
the visitors.
Back of Vote
He said that in Washington
there are 1,7O0 places selling
beer. but that local citizens had
nothing to do with that. He
said:
Like idiots, ex-cOnvicts and
infants, we have no vote"
DR.. Abernethy said that the
visitors were welcomed to. Wash
ington by all of the local Baptists.
He said there are 27 local white
churches with $4,000 members,
and 10 colored churches with
10000 members.
In his response to the welcome
by DR.. Abernethy, DR.. C. oscar
Johnson, president of the con-
vention, indicated that the
Baptists were not. responsible for
sending wet members to Con-
gress, but said they couldn't do
anything about it now. He added:
"We will later"
Hits the Saloon
Later in his speech he referred
again to the prohibition issue:
"Are we challenged and
aroused by the widespread, and
for the most part untruthful,
propaganda which has resulted
in the first step being taken to
repeal the Eighteenth Amend
ment and bring back the saloon
with its cOrruL'ting and blight
ing influence?"
The rest of the sessions for the
day we're given over to reports
of committees and more or less
routine convention business.

School Cadets
To Get Gold
Buttons

The era of ribbon decorations
for Washington cadets is gone.
For the first time in its As
years of existence, the Washing
ton High School Cadet Corps this
year will receive gold, silver and
bronze lapel buttons instead of
the former large ribbon decora-
tions.
Each cadet in the three win

buttons at the conclusion of the
forty-sixth annual cadet company
drill on June at Griffith

Another new feature in the

TAX WARRANTS
DEMANDEDFOR
R.F.C. LOANS
City Heads to See President
To Ask Speedy Action
From Government

A bitter attac kon President
Roosevelt's $3,50O,o00,000 public
works program was launched to-
day at the meeting of the United
States Conference of Mayors.
The mayors, representing more
than so cities in all parts of the
nation, will go to the White House
late today and ask the President
to have the r. F.. C. instructed to
grant them money on tax antici'
patton warrants.
If this action is not taken,
Mayor James M. Curley, of Bos-
ton, president of the conference,
warned a number of major cities
will be thrown into dire financial
straits.
Ohio Leads Attack
The attack on the public works
measure was led by Mayor Ray T.
Miller, of Cleveland, who declared
flatly that no city in that State
could join under the present
terms, which require municipali-
ties to raise 10 per cent of the
sum to be expended and receive
80 per cent from the Government,
Mayor N. T. Sparks, of Akron
and Mayor Thomas Williams, OF
Elizabeth, N. j., joined in support
ing Mayor Miller, while a dozen
other city heads nodded support
The Presidents measure was
upheld by Mayor Curley, who de-
clared that the savings in mu-
nicipal relief resulting from the
Jobs would more than compen-
safe for the interest and sinking
fund payments due. A dozer
mayors leaped to their feet In
protest at this statement.
Plan Under Fire
Starting his attack, Mayor
Miller said:
I'VE cannot place the ad-
ditiOnal burden on our people
who are already staggering un-
der the load of taxes and their
inability to raise them. We
cannot ask them to accept tax
alton nthe 70 per cent of the
money for the public works
program.
II believe that we should 60
to Congress and demand that
the bill be modified. We should
ask first that the amount of
interest be made very low.
Then, too, we should ask
that no interest payments and
no sinking fund paymets be
made to the Government on this
money until the depression is
over and we are well on the
road to recovery"
CITES AKRON'S CASE
Supporting his fellow Ohioa11
Mayor Sparks decla!Nd that Ak
ron's taxes are 81 per cent de-
linquent, that half of the city fire
houses are closed and half of the
police department placed on hall
working hours.
Akron cannot join in the Public
Works grant, Mayor Sparks said
and he recommended that the
Government give a 100 per cent
grant for the building program,
Mayor Curley declared that he
believes the depression is ending
pointing out that in the last few
weeks in Boston the number OF
those applying for relief has
dropped more than 1000.
Mayor Williams also declared
that he finds business conditions
are improving, but said he does
not see where his city can raise
any money to join in the build.
ing program.
Will Ask Again
At the White House the mayors
will urge that some immediate
action be taken by the R. F. c..
pointing out that teachers. fire.
men. policemen and other EN-.
ployes are going unpaid because
the banks cannot handle the tax
anticipation warrants.
Mayor Curley warned the meet
ing that the cities face collapse
unless this action is taken.

Wait Next Session

Hearings scheduled for today on
two insurance bills affecting the
District will not be held until after

mittee of the House District Com
mittee.
One Of the bills sets up a new
insurance code while the other

WORKERS
Personnel Cuts to Strike Most
Divisions Equally; Other
Economies Planned

Indications are today that so
far as personnel is concerned, Fed
eral reorganization plans will
strike about equally in those units
that are not completely elm
mated.
Cuts in personnel cost ranging
from Is to 33 per cent seem prob
able, in general.
Total savings to be made from
operations of the Federal estab-
lishment are now estimated at
around $4O0 900 900. Possibly they
will run higher, but in no case
more than $500,000,000. These
are in addition to the Is per
cent salary cut.
Military Savings.
Obviously it will be impossible
TO make these saving from the
payroll alone. At the average
Government salary, it would be
necessary to fire 100000 persons,
half the total, to save $4OO,'
100000.
In such departments as the
War and Navy Departments. the
greater part of the savings will be
made by laying up ships in rota'
ton, closing down certain Navy
Yard activities, possibly eliminat-
ing some military posts, and fur
loughing officers.
The Veterans Administration is
effecting the bulk of its savings
through reducing the cost of care
of veterans. shutting down GER
tain disqualification departments.
and checking construction. These
savings involve dismissal Of per-
sonnel to some extent.
In such organizations as the
Department of Labor, where the
expense of operation Is largely
for personal service, savings
